LOOKING FOR
BILLIE
 Bozo's still
searching for Billieboob from the comfort of a roadside café in Rome. On to
his 33rd espresso, he moves around taking in a full 360 degree view from his
chair. Nope, she's not there. But he sure wishes his FashionFace
was. He can only imagine what Hopeless must be thinking about his return
to Rome, after his half-day stopover in Salem. Nevertheless, he can't
think of that now. There's searching to be done. Turning, he
sneaks a peek over his left shoulder. Nope, not there either. Damn! This
might end up leading to a more intensive search - he may have to visit another
café - at the very least choose a new table!
THE TEMPTER
 SMax has
untied Billieboob from her bed, and she is promised she can leave the seedy
hotel room - as long as she swallows a fresh round of mind-altering
drugs. No, no no, Billieboob says feverishly unable to take her eyes off
the pills. I'm not taking any more drugs. Ever.
Ah, you want them,
coos SMax, who's happy to wait for his opportunity.
 Turning your
back on a bad guy can be a fatal mistake, and it sure is for Billieboob, as
SMax, seeing his opportunity, places his hand, pills enclosed, over
Billieboob's mouth. Choking, she swallows the pills and coughs,
devastated that she's swallowed more pills.
I'll return soon,
SMax smiles devilishly as he sweeps from the room, as Billieboob sinks to the
bed, suddenly woozy.
INTERROGATION
 Eric's intent
on exposing Scami's amnesia or lack of it, when she handballs nicely back to
her brother.
 You tell me
what you're hiding! she challenges. What's stopped you from returning to
Salem when I really needed you? My accident! Dad's funeral! You
haven't been there for any of them. Eric turns his back and sighs.
I don't want to talk about it, he fumes.
BILLIE
 Staring at
sweating face, dark rimmed eyes and lank hair, Billieboob is a candidate for a
television makeover. But her mind isn't on her appearance at the moment. Oh
Bozo, she groans as chills wrack her body and she looks longingly at the rest
of the pills left thoughtfully on the table.
Please come and
save me!
BOZO
Bozo gets a
call. There's been a breakthrough.
 A sighting of
a big breasted American female has been made in Rome, so obviously Bozo's
following THAT lead whether it's Billieboob or not! (as any red blooded
male would do).
NEW TREATMENT
 Marlena's
ordered some industrial strength antibiotics. Despite the best germ
warfare specialists in the world conceding defeat at the ISA hospital, Marlena has
written a prescription that she hopes will be just the ticket. Roman's
dreadfully grateful, but fears he hasn't long to live, and nods off for his
obligatory nanosecond of sleep.
 Upset,
Marlena bumps into John the hallway, where an effort is made to link
lips. Sorry to interrupt, coos Kristen breaking the moment.
"No you're not!" snarls Marlena angrily, as Kristen raises an
innocent brow. I just thought you'd like to know that Roman is choking,
she says calmly, as Marlena hotfoots it into the sick room, and John looks exasperated from interrupted sexual activity.
BILLIE'S
NIGHTMARE
 Curtis
Reed, Billie's dead father from hell, makes her drug experience a unique
one. As Curtis harangues and harasses his daughter, belittles her
achievements and her worth as a human being, Billieboob tears at her
hair. You're not here, you're not real, you're dead, she shrills only half
believing it herself.
PLEASED
 Stefano is
watching the DiMansion monitor with interest as his colony of Salemite ants go
about their lives. He leans closer when he sees daughter Lexie
arrive.
I want to speak with you Kristen, sniffs Lexie. I want to
ask you a few questions about Stefano.
Yes! chuckles
Stefano. My beautiful daughter Lexie is fascinated by my incredible
charisma. It won't take long for her to be an authentic DiMera!
MULTI-TASKING
 Whoever
decreed that BozoCop was a one task man, had better think again. BozoCop
can multitask - and how.
Here he is driving
in Rome, reading a map, and talking on his cell phone to Kate
simultaneously. Assuming he doesn't drive straight into Colosseum,
there's a good chance he'll find Billieboob.
ERIC BIG MOUTH
 Reporting to
Carrie, big mouth Eric, is lamenting his lack of success with Scami. She
managed to turn it around and start delving into MY secrets, he laments. We
can't tell Scami the truth about dad dying though, she couldn't handle it.
 Standing
behind him, Scami's jaw drops. Daddy's dying? she whispers her eyes
wide. As her relatives collectively become interested in their shoes, no one
is talking, until Marlena pipes up.
Honey, we didn't
want to upset you, she blurts but....
Instantly Scami starts to wail. Oh
Ausdumb! get me Ausdumb. Not daddy!!!
VISITING ROMAN
 Commander
Amiable Abe is visiting Roman's room, as Marlena looks on. Ah yes,
chokes Roman reminiscing. Remember all the good cases we worked on
partner? Abe nods sadly as Roman perks up. Remember the case of the
Salem Strangler where I came to stay with you because you were in danger? You
were champagne, I was beer, and yet the most wonderful moment in my life Doc
was when you admitted your love for me.
Me too, whispers
Marlena tearfully.
LEXIE AND
KRISTEN
 Kristen thinks it's a social visit, but Lexie
makes the reason for this discussion clear. She's here to discuss
Stefano. What is it, she wonders that turned Kristen into such an evil,
rotten lousy person? Is it a DiMera curse?
 Considering,
Kristen looks over her shoulder. I think it could be, she frowns.
And if I were you, I'd be frightened. Stefano just brought me up, but
it's you that has his blood.
Looking stricken,
Lexie leaves. Food for thought indeed.
TIME FOR BED?
 The last
kiss interruptus, has sparked John's natural interest in sex, but Marlena
can't oblige. I need to stay up tonight to monitor Roman's medication
she whispers. We have to tell Roman the truth, John declares.
You're right agrees Marlena. He wrote us those letters telling us to
make a life for ourselves. He wanted us to be happy. I'll go tell
him now.
 Overhearing,
Kristen panics. Calling Stefano, she asks for advice. Did you hear
that? she spits. Marlena's going to tell Roman the truth! What
should I do? Fuming, Stefano grinds the phone to dust in his
hands. I don't care what you do just stop her! he demands slamming down
the phone and biting his knuckle in angst. If someone tells the truth in
Salem, every single plot Stefano ever devised will come crashing to the
ground. It can't happen!
ROMAN &
MARLENA
 Entering Roman's room, Marlena summons the courage
to tell him the truth, as John stands nearby.
 Having you in my life Doc, coughs Roman
reflecting, has been the most wonderful thing. You are my only love
Doc. That is selfish of me to say that Doc, but I don't care. I need
you, I need you very much. You need me too Doc, don't you?
I will be there
for you, whispers Marlena tearfully as John looks down.....
 .....and Kristen smiles, breathing deeply.
Yes! she whispers gratefully. Yes!
