Summary: Well, this episode is a little more interesting than usual …but that isn’t saying much, considering how BORING the show has been lately…Marlena is FINALLY onto what Alex is up to…Mimi and Bonnie think that Shawn is cheating on her…Bo and Hope both learn what each other has been up to lately…John discovers where Alex and Marlena are.

At the Car shop…Mimi is on her way to the hospital for her first round of hormone shots, when she overhears Shawn on the phone with Belle. Belle is saying she is so glad that Shawn asked her to do this and he asks her not to tell Mimi…it has to be secret. When he gets off the phone, Mimi tells him where she is going and asks him to go with her. He lies and tells her that he is just too busy working and can’t go. She is crushed that he is lying to her. Bonnie shows up to go with her, asking Mimi what’s wrong. Mimi tells her that she thinks Shawn is cheating on her with Belle. Mimi says she has married a man who is in love with someone else. Bonnie thinks that maybe Belle is taking advice from her sister Sami (clue flashbacks of Bonnie eavesdropping on Belle and Sami in the Java Café). Mimi says that Claire is Shawn’s baby…maybe it is true…Shawn and Belle belong together. Bonnie tells her to go on to her appointment and let mommy take care of it. Later, Mimi is at the hospital for her exam and shots. While she waits on Lexie, Bonnie calls her. She is on the fire escape outside the loft eavesdropping. She sends Mimi pictures of Belle and Shawn hugging and laughing. Inside, Shawn is telling Belle that Mimi doesn’t know that they are there and they need to keep this secret. Belle says maybe this is a mistake. After her exam, Mimi hurries and gets dressed. Bonnie calls her back and tells her to get home NOW. Inside, Shawn and Belle ask each other if they are ready and then begin undressing. When Mimi gets home, Bonnie is in the hallway pacing. Mimi is upset and crying as they bash Belle. Bonnie tells her to get in there and stop them. Mimi goes inside and sees their clothes on the floor and can hear them in the bedroom laughing and carrying on. (What do you want to bet they are painting the room as a nursery?)

At the Cop Shop…Frankie is there with John as John is explaining he is going to track down Alex and Marlena. While they are talking, a female cop (Eve) is listening and whips out her cell phone and calls and warns Alex. Meanwhile, Marlena is on the balcony looking at the necklace Alex gave her. She ahs flashbacks of him giving it to her, followed by flashbacks of her and John. She tells herself she has to stop this…she is married to Alex, as she tries to convince herself they are happy. Then she says there is something wrong with her. She finds the vial of medication and syringe in his jacket pocket. Then she has a flashback of confronting him at the hospital and him drugging her. She gets angry saying he is through controlling her. She says she has to stop him, but she can’t let him know that she is on to him. She beats herself up for turning her back on John, her family and everyone who loves her. She says she is going to put a stop to it.

Back in Salem, John is asking Frankie for his help, who is reluctant about breaking the law. He finally gives in as the cop reports what is going on to Alex. Alex tells her that he isn’t worried…he has her help as well as Patrick Lockhart’s. Eve tells Alex she needs to tell him something…the Salem police is looking for Patrick Lockhart. After this, Alex and Patrick meet up in the hallway and Alex has an offer for him…if he helps him with John, he will help Patrick with Bo. Patrick wants to think it over. Frankie tells John that his plan may work as John asks Frankie to make a phone call for him. He calls the realtor that is handling the penthouse sale, telling her that John Black would like to make an offer on it. After they hang up, she calls Alex. Marlena has come back inside the room and when Alex comes in, she hides the vial and syringe. Alex tells her to go get dressed, they are going out. He thinks she may need another dose of the medication soon. He gets the call from the realtor as John is tracing it…he says he can pinpoint the cell tower it is transmitting to. After Marlena is dressed, she says she is going to see Hope and leaves. The realtor tells Alex about the offer from John. He is impressed but is afraid that John may be up to something and he may need backup. When their call ends, John tells Frankie he got it…Morgan Island. Frankie asks him what is his plan and John says he is going to rescue Marlena.

In another room…Bo calls and Patrick answers Hope’s phone. She takes the phone as Bo is asking what is going on and why is she with Lockhart. He warns her that Patrick is dangerous and tells her to get away from him. He asks her if that is why she left…to be with Lockhart? She is furious with him as he begs her to tell him where she is. He tells her that Patrick is a killer and he has the proof even though Hope defends him. He reads the APB to her, but she doesn’t believe it, saying it isn’t Patrick. She says that Patrick was there for her when she needed him. They argue as Bo tells her that he has been searching high and low for her. She says it wasn’t planned…it just happened. He asks just how close are they and she turns the tables and asks him how close he is to Billie. She says that her life ended when his and Billie’s “demon seed child” (she calls her that several times, lol) came along. She tells him that she still wants the divorce and wants all of them out of her life for good, as she keeps defending Patrick. Bo asks her just how well does she know Patrick. Almost in tears, he asks her how could she be with him. She comes back asking HOW he could ask her that…after being with Billie all this time? She says she has overlooked his relationship with Billie long enough…she says he has a new family now…and she has nothing else to say other than she wants a divorce. Bo asks her if she is sleeping with Patrick and she is silent (as she has flashbacks). She tells him that she also has a question for him…has he been sleeping with Billie (as he too has flashbacks of being in the woods with Billie). She says she guesses they have their answers and tells him she wants the divorce and hangs up on him. She breaks down as Patrick comforts her. In Salem, Bo is crying about his “Fancy Face”. Patrick tells her maybe she needs to get back to Salem, but she says there is nothing for her there. He asks her if she told Bo that they slept together and she says she didn’t have to. She tells Patrick that Bo is after him because he is jealous…but he will never find them. Bo says that he must find Hope before she becomes Patrick’s next victim. Marlena comes over to see Hope as Patrick leaves. Marlena asks her what is wrong and she tells her it is over between her and Bo. Marlenat tells her that she and Bo share a deep love that can survive anything. She tells her that they will never get over each other…they will love each other as long as both of them are alive. Bo calls someone and tells them to get over to the police station right away…NOW. (I assume it is Billie). Patrick and Alex cross paths again in the hall and Patrick tells Alex he has thought it over and will help him…for a price. They shake hands as Alex tells him that if he will help him eliminate John, then he will help him get rid of Bo…as Alex smiles…and the previews show…

Lucas (to Carrie): If he keeps harassing you like he has been…I will have to teach him a lesson he will never forget…

Patrick (to Alex): I’d make a deal with the devil to be with Hope…(Alex): I think you just did…

Bo (to Billie): She’s shacked up somewhere with Lockhart…(Billie): WHAT?...(Bo): When I find that bastard…he’s dead…

Shawn and Belle walk out of the bedroom…to find Mimi and Bonnie standing there with murder in their eyes…

And the credits roll…
