CLUES AND CURSES



PART 1

- It is morning in Salem. Stefano finds Elvis sitting disheveled by a bottle of wine in the dark living room. He wants him to stand up and be a man. He takes away his glass and notes he is exhausted. He needs to get some sleep and then when the time is right, he should do what he must to bring his son home. EJ stands up and slowly takes a few steps. He cries this is all his fault. He built this thing to make John look like a criminal and turn the town into a lynch mob. One of this mob he created was not happy to just go after John, and so he set his sights on an innocent, defenseless boy. "My son." If he has lost Johnny, it will be on his conscience for all eternity. The phoenix announces he will not let him turn himself into a martyr. This is wasted enerrrrgy. That sanctimonious John Black is to blame! EJ disagrees. They should owe up to the truth. That is, he and
he alone is responsible. "I went after John Black!" Thus, he put his own son in danger. He did that, no one else! Stefano clears his throat and explains this is the life they have chosen. Nothing will change that. EJ
gets sarcastic. The phoenix adds they must live by their own rules, with rewards and yet ...  He warns him not to be a fool and think there is no price. Sometimes it can be too much to bear. Despite their power, they are not always in control. EJ snaps does he mean this is justified? He thunders his son is not collateral damage, he is his son!
- Gabi and Carrie try to reassure upset Will, who is at the townhouse to apologize on Sami's behalf to John and Marlena. Marlena understands
she is worried and her anger was about something that happened in the past. Will wonders if he should stay out of it. John drawls he does not have to make it right. Marlena insists they will come through. They need only focus on finding Johnny. Crying Will asks John if he thinks they will find him alive. John drawls he only looks at facts and he believes he will be fine. He has to believe it. John praises Will for being so strong. Will decides to go home to Sami. Marlena loves him and reminds him to call
if he needs anything. Will intends to stay in touch and exits with Gabi. John now notices Carrie has something on her mind. She replies she is thinking of his case, but her face is very preoccupied. She intends to minimize the damage for John as a client, which was why she went to
the D.A. John wonders what she has done. What happened when she
met with the illustrious D.A. ...?
- At the loft, Sami is impatient that there have not been any DNA results. She complains to Hope about what John did, then stops when Rafe
enters the room. He is uncomfortable. He quietly thanks Hope for her help. She will call when she hears anything and takes her leave. Rafe sits beside Sami and asks her to eat. She stares ahead but does not answer. He starts to eat the sandwich so it does not go to waste, then slams it down and exclaims he too is afraid. They need to stay strong for Johnny. Sami screams eating that sandwich will not make the difference between that being Johnny's shirt or not. It is his fault they went to the pub. She screams all they have is a bloodied t-shirt. Rafe is sorry. She demands to know if he is sorry it happened or sorry he made them go to the pub. He asks if it makes a difference. Sami points out they should have kept far away from John and his bulletproof vest. They could have all been killed. She screams like an animal as Will and Gabi enter. Will rushes forward and tells her to stop. It is not Rafe's fault. They should focus on Johnny. Sami laments she should have trusted her instincts and not gone to the unsafe pub. They should have known better! Will disagrees with pointing the finger at Rafe. Rafe appreciates his defending him, but Sami is right. He pushed for them to go to the pub.
- At the station, Bo rages on his phone for not having enough men on
the ground. They are reaching the crucial 24 hour mark. Austin is at the station to pick up files he must turn over to the prosecution. They discuss Sami. Bo is worried she might do something desperate. The death of a child changes reality. He should know. Austin is sorry. He will always remember Zack. Bo will never forget his boy. His heart will not let him. Hope enters and adds neither will hers. They embrace. Austin soon informs them he studied Alice's financial records and could show them what he came up with as they wait for the phone to ring. It is almost noon. Bo and Hope agree.
- Bo is on the phone, ordering his men to canvass a playground and the woods behind it. He and Hope now sit with Austin at the computer. He points out the setup of Alice's finances in this case was the kind of thing an expert would implement to prevent a trail from being followed. The numbers indicate 9 different financial institutions spanning 3 continents - and Africa is one of them ...!
