Episode # 10165; Tape Date: 9/12/05; Air Date: 10/13/05; Director: Albert Alarr

Summary: Lexie thinks Belle may be headed for post-partum depression…Kate urges Victor to offer Lucas a job…Austin offers Lucas advice, but he doesn’t want to listen…John is determined to save Marlena from Dr. North. (If you have to miss a day…this is the one. Sorry folks, but I almost nodded off during this show.)

AT THE SALEM INN…
John is continuing his vigil of spying on Marlena and Alex as Abe arrives (a cop, Mark drove him over). John must have called him, because Abe asks why he is at Kate’s. John explains that Marlena kicked him out and has asked for a divorce. He fills him in on Alex’s scheme and wants Abe to help him come up with a plan to rescue her. He is only trying to help her, but Alex has been manipulating her all along. As he watches them on the terrace, he tells Abe he is determined to help her. He says that Marlena isn’t even aware of what is going on…he is sure she still loves him…she just doesn’t know it. Abe tells him that at one time he was sure of Lexie’s love, but now he thinks she may be involved with someone else. Since he returned from the island, things have changed and he has no one to blame but himself. He says he is going to try and work things out with her and convince her that he still loves her. But John says that Marlena is to a point that she doesn’t even want to be in the same room with him anymore…North isn’t trying to recover her memory, he is trying to wipe the slate clean. Abe suggests that John have Marlena declared incompetent, but John is sure it would all backfire on him with Alex contradicting him and making things worse…North has this all planned out. Abe compares him to Stephano, but is sure that he will make a mistake somewhere and John will be there to catch him. Mark comes back for Abe as he encourages John to hang in there. Kate arrives as they are leaving (she was at Alice’s…see below). Abe says his goodbyes as John explains they were talking about Marlena. He goes back to his spying and sees them getting close on the balcony. John blows a gasket, calling Alex a son of a bitch and gets very angry. He says he is going over there and get rid of North, even if he has to throw him off the balcony. Kate stops him, telling him she isn’t going to let him do that.

AT ALICE’S BAR…Kate questions Victor about Brady’s vacated position (seems they are going to live in Europe). She says she has someone in mind for the job. Austin enters Alice’s and says “This sure ain’t Tuscany anymore…yehaw” (LOL). He finds Lucas at the bar and asks what he is doing there and proceeds to lecture him about working there. Lucas doesn’t want to hear it but Austin says he is in denial. Kate explains to Victor that Lucas won’t accept a job from her and wants him to give Lucas a chance. Victor doesn’t think Lucas’ head is in the right place, but Kate tries to convince him. Victor finally agrees to at least talk to him. Kate complains about how Sami is now chasing after Austin and wants Victor to talk with him as well. LOL as an annoyed Victor notes she sure is asking for a lot of favors. He will consider Lucas for the job, but that’s it. Austin tells Lucas that he is only trying to help, but Lucas turns a deaf ear to him. He makes it clear that he is upset that Austin has run back to Sami. Austin says he is only trying to support her and be a friend. Lucas suggests that he should move in with Kate or just leave town and reminds Austin what all Sami did to HIM. Austin tries to talk him into giving her another chance, but Lucas wants nothing to do with it and tells him not to lecture him.

Later, Austin is shooting pool alone when Victor joins him. Victor talks about all the changes in Salem since he left and asks him about his staying at Sami’s. Austin tells him that is none of his business and Victor says that being a business man, he makes everything his business. Austin realizes that Kate put him up to talking to him (that Austin grew some brain cells outside of Salem…wonder how long it will take for him to lose them all?) Austin tells him he is a big boy and makes his own decisions. Victor talks about how successful Austin is in NYC and talks about Brady’s vacated position. He asks Austin to come work for him, but Austin turns him down, BUT knows someone else that would be perfect. Victor says yes, he has heard and leaves. Kate sashays over to the bar to talk to Lucas but he isn’t too thrilled about it. He tells her that he doesn’t want her charity job, so she tells him that Victor is looking for someone to replace Brady at Titan. She says she tossed his hat into the ring. Lucas asks what she is she hoping for?...a Walton family reunion (LOL). Kate is not amused by his joke and leaves. Later, Victor comes over and tells Lucas that he has a proposition for him and tells him about the job at Titan and talks about what a good job he did for him before. Victor is willing to overlook that he worked for Tony and offers him the job. Lucas is excited and promises not to let him down. After Victor leaves, Sophie (the new waitress) asks why he is so excited and he tells her about the job offer. She tells him that Victor offered the job to Austin and it’s a good thing he turned him down…bursting Lucas’ bubble.

AT THE LOFT…Philip frets as Lexie is upstairs examining Belle. Shawn and Mimi try to assure him that everything will be okay. Lexie tells Belle that there is nothing physically wrong with her but she is exhausted and needs rest. She suggests she take a nap as Belle lies down, hugging a teddy bear. Lexie goes downstairs and gives everyone an update, and explains that she may run tests later. She suspects that she is suffering from all the trauma lately…a rushed marriage, an unplanned pregnancy, Philip being shipped off and losing his leg, etc. She says that Belle has had to make a lot of adjustments and has a lot to deal with in such a short time. She thinks she may be developing a case of post-partum depression. Upstairs, Belle tosses and turns as she dreams about Shawn, Philip and the baby. She gets up, wondering what is wrong with her as she holds Claire. Lexie explains to Philip about Belle’s condition and says he needs to help her eliminate stress, and doesn’t need medication right now. Shawn and Mimi promise their support as well. Lexie says that someone needs to be with her at all times. Claire starts crying as Belle starts breaking down, not knowing what to do. Everyone rushes upstairs as she sobs. Lexie asks Mimi and Shawn to leave as Philip takes the baby and Belle is crying that she “is so sorry”. Lexie gives her something to help her sleep as Philip thanks her for being there. Lexie is sure that she will recover, just give her time. Shawn and Mimi have returned home and talk about what is going on. Mimi blames herself for what is going on with Belle, saying that Belle started losing it upon seeing her and Shawn together. Mimi tells him that she lied to him when she said the kiss didn’t mean anything, she really likes him and was hoping for more than friendship. He admits that he wasn’t telling the truth either but was afraid to say anything, afraid to ruin their friendship. He suggests they continue their date and they head to the roof. Belle is tossing and turning again and wakes up in a sweat, saying she has to get out of there that she can’t breathe. So she heads out to the fire escape and begins to climb the ladder to the roof. Shawn and Mimi are on the roof slow-dancing and then they kiss…just as Belle peers over the ledge and sees them. She heads back down the ladder as her foot slips and she begins to fall…and the previews show…

Nicole (to Austin): If I win, you go home with me…NOT Sami…

Sami (to Lucas): I’m really grateful to Austin…I thought you would be too. (Lucas): You know what I’d be grateful for?...If he would mind his own damned business…

Jen (to Jack): Abigail…how are you going to tell her?...

John (to Alex): She is leaving with you over my cold dead body…

As the credits roll…
