Sneaking
an opportunity for a rare canoodle in bed, Ausdumb reaffirms his love for
Carrie. I swear I'll only carry on this charade with Scami as long as I
have to, he promises. Once Scami is well, she can be told the truth.
Physiotherapy
starts today, and Scami's nervous.
Interrupting
a second wave of the wild thing, Scami calls Ausdumb. I need you to help
me through this painful physiotherapy, she asks. Could you come now?
Sure, Ausdumb sighs.
Tragic
Disturbed
by a noise downstairs, Marlena sweeps down to see Laura full of smiles. I
broke in and entered your apartment, Loony/Lucid Laura tells her revelling in
her criminality.
I remembered your alarm code and I've done this so that I could set up a special
breakfast for you and John.
Tell me, was it everything you expected and more? she says dreamily.
Downcast, Marlena sighs. John didn't come home with me last night, she
tells her friend who looks dumbfounded. He's staying with Kristen.
Vivian's Visit
John is
unimpressed when Vivian visits the next morning. I don't want you here, you'll
just upset Kristen, he fumes, but Kristen tells him to go. You go to the
hospital to visit John Junior, I'll get dressed and join you soon, she promises.
Turning to Vivian, she is exultant as she relays the news. Marlena
didn't say anything! She decided she couldn't make John break his wedding
vows!
Thank God you were married before a priest! smiles Vivian.
Susan Banks
Susan
calls Marlena's apartment. It's Susan Banks, I'm just calling to
confirm my appointment. I'll see you in my office on the fifth floor of University
Hospital in an hour, Marlena agrees.
The news
Carrie's
stopped by to share her miserable love life, only to hear of Marlena's lack of
success with John. If you and John can't be together, Carrie moans, Ausdumb and I
will never have a chance. You and John deserve to be together.
Flashbacks...
As John
looks in on John Junior, his mind wanders.
Back to the days of strawberries and cream...
Lots of
sex with Doc...
and
more strawberries and cream.
What are you thinking man? he snarls to himself as he comes back to earth
with a thud. You're with Kristen man! Thoughts of Marlena like this can
never surface again.
Visit
Kristen
has stopped by Susan's apartment to ensure she is ready for her trip to the Caribbean.
Here's the ticket, and I'll send some videos down, she promises.
Physiotherapy
Ausdumb
helps support Scami as she embarks on her first physiotherapy session.
Buckling at the knees, she sobs. I'm never going to walk again! she
wails, but brightens as Ausdumb provides words of encouragement. Just
work towards us being a happily family again, he tells her.
Good news
Taking
Ivan aside, Vivian is relieved. With Kristen now safe again, it means she
will continue supporting my place on the Titan Board.
Loony/Lucid
Laura is on hand to witness Vivian embrace Kristen. You're up to
something, she observes as Kristen flees to check on John Junior.
I know you Vivian, Laura grins. I know that you'll stop at nothing to
get what you want. I know that Kristen will do the same. I also
believe Kristen was involved in my disappearance somehow, although I can't
prove it.
As Kristen overhears sending daggers Laura's way, Laura continues to spout
her unwanted opinion. Marlena belongs with John, and I believe it's just
a matter of time before they end up together. I'll be watching both of
you!
Well it's like this...
The
therapy session is well underway, but Susan manages to say nothing during their
time together. I married this wonderful man, she blubbers and I agreed to
do something, now I regret it....
