Kayla will run more tests. Eerie music is heard. Exit Marlena. John then starts to walk out. Kayla and Anna stop him. John notes Kayla's urgency. Is he dying? She is not sure. Exit John. - Meanwhile, Marlena pays Stefano a visit at the DiMera mansion and demands the disk of John's memories. He plays coy. She recalls he had it when she was in hospital. John has had a seizure He needs help. They are brothers! Stefano calls it an unfortunate mistake. Marlena accuses the phoenix of inflicting pain. He says then they are not that different. Marlena laments if they do not restore his memory, John will die! She leaves. Rolf later has news as he has seen the hospital records. John's unraveling could make it easy to program him into pawndom. Stefano decides it is time to retire the pawn, however.

Anna is sympathetic but points out Ava is really gone. For Marlena, it's not enough. She is more than just a woman to keep his bed warm. Anna does not mince words. Is she outta her mind?!

His cell rings. It is Anna, who announces they need to have a talk. - At Abe's place, Roman and Bo drop by to discuss police business. They want him back! He says no way! Roman worries the crime rate will go up. Abe suggests Roman replace him as commissioner. Roman resists. Anyhow, he supports Abraham in everything so Mayor Marino would not be keen. Abe thinks City Council would want him in. Bo is all for it. Roman points out he is not a bureaucrat. Abe then zeroes in on Bo. He says no way, he has broken the rules too many times in the dept. He is a detective, not a suit and tie kinda guy. Roman gets paged by the office and leaves. Abe takes a sip of his coffee. Salem deserves an honest man as top cop.

Stefano is not sorry. Lexie laments Abe is tired of people like the phoenix manipulating the system. Abe, she warns, is going to go after him. He will not have police restrictions. Stefano wonders - will Abe now be on the dark side of the law? Lexie points out everyone is out to get him so he should leave Salem now. Stefano accuses her of supporting her husband's vigilantism. She calls it justice. He is not surprised. She never helped him when he was comatose, just like the others. He deserved better than a life of horror. She admits they did not want to try. He retorts he would never have turned his back on family the way his children turned their backs on him! She accuses him of trying to destroy their lives. He accuses her of insolence.

He fears he still owes dangerous Claude money. Mel has harsh words, Trent states the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. He knows about her parties and rich boyfriends. They are the same. Max walks up and orders him away. Trent's cell rings. He will continue with Mel later. He walks off to take the call. - Inside, Bo and Hope sit with upset Caroline. Vic takes a phone call as Nicole awaits at a table. Bo decides it is time to illuminate Vic. He approaches him, and announces there is something he needs to know about Nicole. Bo then gives Nicole the chance to explain. She asks Vic to step outside with her. "My past has finally caught up with me. You weren't my second husband, you were my third." Who was her first husband? Trent Robbins. Why should Vic care? Cos she and Trent are still leally married! The Greek tycoon hears her tale of woe and starts to laugh. He does not owe her a settlement so she is about to become dirt poor! Nicole rushes back in, sick to her stomach. - Inside, Steve, Steph, and Kayla discuss Trent.

He wants Nico to take care of Trent Robbins! Still inside, Chelsea gives Bo the 411 on what went down in France. Bo decides he needs to make a phone call. Chelsea laments to Hope she could have lost Nick. Hope sees that Chelsea still loves Nick. Nervous Steph comes back, she was unable to find Max. - Meanwhile, Nick walks outside, hearing Trent tell someone on the phone that yes, he will.
