Episode # 10347, Tape Date: 6/2; Air Date: 6/29; Director: Albert Alarr

Summary: Jack suffers through his pain with Jennifer by his side…Kayla takes Steve (and the viewers) on a trip down memory lane about their past…Shawn tries to convince Mimi she is the one he loves…Sami confesses to everyone (well, sort of) as Lexie backs her up.

Kayla meets Steve…outside the pub as he tells her that Jack has decided to stay in Salem to die. She thinks it is good that he wants to be near his family. She wants to take him somewhere and show him something. They end up down at the docks and (we don’t see it, but) she has shown him a yacht, hoping to jog his memory about their wedding. But it didn’t help. But he does want to know more as she explains about how she lost her hearing and about their wedding (as we see flashbacks of their vows). He says if he can’t remember that, then it is hopeless. But she assures him she isn’t giving up and wants to take him somewhere else. They end up at the jail as she shows him a cell and tells him this is where she almost gave birth. She tells him about how they were to marry and his wife showed up and how later, she was arrested for her murder. (Flashbacks of her being photographed and booked). She tells him how she went into labor the day of her trial and how they almost didn’t make it to the hospital (flashbacks of her giving birth). He agrees with her about how all of it sounds so crazy and asks what happened next. She explains that she was eventually exonerated…well, after a prison break, fleeing the country and Stephanie being kidnapped…you know, stuff like that. (LOL). She tells him she wouldn’t blame him if he took off running. He asks if she is pulling his leg and she laughs. She says she can’t promise their life would be that exciting again, but she does want that love back. She says she isn’t trying to pressure him, but he feels bad that he can’t remember any of it. We then have flashbacks of his emotional ‘death’ scene and him flat-lining. She says that was the worst day of her life and when he was buried, a part of her was as well. And now, it is a miracle that he is standing there. She tells him that he is the only man she has ever loved or ever will. They go back to the pub and she asks if he wants to come in for a drink. He thanks her, but thinks he should get back to Jack…he is such a baby about taking his medicine. She says maybe they can continue their trip down memory lane and he says he is sorry that so far, it has just been a one way street. She kisses him as he has flashes of memory, kissing her before. He gets a strange look and she asks what is it?...does he remember something?

At the Deveraux House…Jack is in bed with Jen by his side. Frankie comes in to check on them and says he is glad Jack decided to stay. Jen talks about how she lost Jack so many times before, but she knows this time it is forever. She talks about how unfair it is for him to die and Frankie tells her that even after he is gone, he will always be there…in her heart. Jake wakes up and tells her that as long as Frankie is there for her, he knows she will be okay. He just wishes they didn’t have to watch him die…but he plans on being there until the bitter end. Jen hugs him as he tells Frankie that he is not to go anywhere either. He starts writhing in pain, sending Jen scrambling for his meds. She gives him pain meds and begs him to look at her and stay with her…she can’t lose him yet as he moans and groans in pain. Frankie tells her to give him more (he is taking morphine) but she is afraid she will kill him. He promises he won’t die…as long as she is by his side. Later, he is finally resting comfortably as Frankie urges her to go get some rest as well. She says she can’t but he says she needs to rest…for Jack’s sake. She finally promises that she will. As Frankie goes to leave, she tells him she loves him. She goes over and lies next to Jack as she has a long string of flashbacks set to music. She falls asleep as he slowly puts his hand atop hers.

At the Lofts…Mimi goes storming in and babbling about how Shawn never wanted her at all…he just “settled” for her because he couldn’t have Belle. She asks if he still loves Belle and he says a part of him always will. She rushes to the bedroom and slams the door. She lies on the bed crying, looking at their wedding picture. Philip and Belle arrive in the hall as they talk about Mimi being so upset about what Shawn said. He thinks that Belle still loves Shawn as well and asks what will she do when he comes crawling back to her. Belle explains that yes, Shawn was her first love, but now she loves Philip…he is her husband and the father of her child and they kiss. Shawn comes into the hall and wants to talk to Belle so Philip reluctantly goes inside. He tells her about Mimi wanting and divorce and he wants her to go and talk to Mimi, but she refuses, saying it’s not her place. He apologizes for what he said earlier about losing her and says he doesn’t want to go through that again. He doesn’t want to lose Mimi as well. She encourages to go talk to Mimi (as Philip listens). After Shawn leaves, Philip comes out asking if everything is okay. He tells her he overheard and apologizes for doubting her. He hugs her, saying he loves her so much. She hugs him back and with tears in her eyes, says she loves him as well. Shawn goes back inside and bangs on the bedroom door, begging Mimi to come out. She finally comes out, saying they need to talk about their future. He apologizes for what he said, saying he didn’t mean it…he used to love Belle, but it is Mimi he loves now and thanks God for her in his life. He says that after watching what his parents are going through, she is the only person he trusts and how he loves her. She yells NO…she doesn’t deserve his trust…she is a fraud…and starts sobbing. She cries that she is a monster…he can’t help…it is too late for them…and their marriage…then she storms back into the bedroom. Across the hall, Belle is now changed into her night gown as Philip returns from taking the sitter home. She tells him that Claire is asleep and it is time for them to get to bed as well…however, she doesn’t think they will be doing much sleeping. (hubba-hubba).

At Sami’s Place…Lexie proceeds with her expose of Sami, urging Sami to tell the truth. Everyone wants the truth as Sami is sweating bullets. Then we see the scene from a different perspective…the someone with the gloved hand is watching through the window. Kate thinks that since blackmail is a crime, they should call the police, but Austin quiets her down. Sami says that Lexie ruined her own marriage and that she isn’t going to take the blame for that. The gloved hand pulls out a cell phone and dials a number. Lexie starts to tell all when her phone rings and she steps out into the hall, telling them it may be a patient. While she is gone, Sami gets a chance to tell HER version of the truth. She explains that yes, she WAS threatening Lexie, but only because of her affair with Tek. She wanted Lexie to be faithful to Abe and not hurt him. They want to know HOW she knew about it and she says she practically saw them doing it in the park. She says she confronted Lexie and threatened her. But, she swears she did NOT tell Abe about it…that isn’t want she wanted. In the hall, Lexie answers the phone and asks who it is. With a shocked look on her face, she says OH MY GOD! (Well, I guess the “gloved hand” is NOT Kate). Inside, Sami swears she did NOT out Lexie. Lucas jumps in, not believing her. Austin says he wants to believe her as Kate chimes in, damning Sami and saying IF Sami has changed, it is probably for the worst. Lexie asks the caller how they know where she is and she says NO, she can’t do it…it’s not right. She listens and finally says she guesses she has no choice and goes back inside. Kate demands the truth from Lexie about what Sami has told them. Lexie says she is right…for once in her life, Sami is telling the truth (as Sami stands there in shock). Kate thinks she has snowed everyone again, but Austin says this may have not been her brightest move, but she was only trying to protect Abe. Both Will and Carrie are proud of her for trying to protect Abe as well. Even Lucas apologizes, saying maybe he was wrong about her. Austin asks her if she still wants to elope, but she says no, she wants the biggest wedding ever in Salem…and they will send the bill to Kate. As Lexie is getting on the elevator, she asks “This cannot be happening…who are you…why wont’ you let me tell?” The gloved hand is at Sami’s door. Freeze frame on Sami & Austin…as the previews show…

Bonnie (to Mimi): Belle is just waiting for you to lose your nerve and you are not gonna give her the satisfaction. (Mimi): Mom, it is over. I have finally lost him…

Shawn (to Philip): What's your problem? (Phillip): Stay away from Belle…

Lucas (to Sami): I don't know if you'll ever forgive me for blaming you without knowing all the facts…

Patch (to Kayla): Why don't you tell me more about the past?...Talk to me about Stephanie….

And the credits roll…
