Now without further ado ...



BASED ON DAYSCAFE NOON TWEETS WITH DETAILS ADDED!

At DiMera mansion, two sleepy Salemites stir on the sofa. Chad removes his arm from Gabi and she wakes up. Adorable Arianna gazes at the pair. Gabi thanks Chad for letting them stay and they share a tight hug. Enter cop JJ, who dropped by. He stops in his tracks at the sight ... At the hospital Dr. Kayla complains to Steve that strict Seth the hospital administrator is no longer admitting patients. How to save lives while in this ludicrous lockdown! Steve is sympathetic. Seth appears and insists he knows how to run this hospital ... At the pub, Hope slowly moves the table with the bomb onto its side ... John tells phone Orpheus you don't wanna do this but yes he does. He rages if they try and leave the pub he blows it up ... until later ... John wants the bomb squad stat. Jen goes to get Caroline as the remaining pub patrons huddle at the back. There is no way out. John tells the woman he loves and Hope he has no choice. He has to give Orpheus what he really wants That means HIM ... Rafe arrives at the hospital, where Ed updates him on Dario being alright. They discuss what Dario did. Ed insists Dario regrets his past actions and they felt closer when they last spoke. Rafe expresses his doubt as Dario courted danger and deception. Eduardo does not judge Dario and blames the fact that he was a bad dad, for setting a selfish example. He knows Dario did not want the goon to go after Gabi. Ed sincerely hopes his two other kids - Gabi and Rafe - will find it in their hearts to forgive Dario for they have all made mistakes. Rafe blinks ... Back at the pub Marlena begs John not to sacrifice himself. Hope bears bad news about the bomb squad. They are simply too far. Orpheus calls John and dares him to look at the door. The maniac is standing outside the pub door with his bomb detonator in hand. John dramatically declares he will be his hostage as soon as he lets the others go. Orpheus wants confirmation that he comprehends he would be sacrificing his life to save the others. John drawls that's a fact and Orpheus laps it up. Marlena soap stares. This is her worst nightmare come true ...

JJ greets his girlfriend with a hug and a kiss. She is happy to see him. JJ the cop on duty solemnly states things are worse in Salem. He stopped by to take Gabi and Ari somewhere they will be safe - at Horton house, with the family, including Julie. Gabi exclaims NO JULIE for she can feel her dislike. She would be better off staying here. Chad agrees. JJ grows silent as Gabi takes her daughter to the guest room. JJ looks in the baby bassinet and asks after his sleeping nephew. Chad notes he slept through all the chaos. JJ gets choked up about how his sister would have loved to see him. She loved her son so much. He thanks Chad for his hospitality toward Gabi and then gets a call that makes him bolt. There is a bomb at the Brady pub and mama Jen is there ... Orpheus has orders for John. First he will enter and apprehend him, then and only then will the others be freed ... and no funny business or they all blow to hell! John assures anxious Marlena he will find a way to win. Marlena woefully wonders what if he cannot stop him and win like the old days. He poignantly promises to find his way back to her and holds her face in his strong hands. Orpheus steps in and snaps to come with him. First John wants the bomb disarmed. Orpheus requests the clips from John and Hope's weapons first. Done. He disarms and the red button goes off. Now he demands his prisoner be tied up and delivered to him. Hope ties his hands and Orpheus backs out with him. John and Marlena look into each others' eyes as he slowly disappears into the darkness. Hope assures Marlena he is a fighter who will triumph. Seconds later Jenny comes downstairs with a mother of a bomb strapped to her scared little body. They have been had!

Ed senses romance trouble. Rafe sighs Hope wants no contact. He tells Ed they are on a break. Rafe now uses the L word - love - and insists they are far from over. Ed offers to talk. Rafe calls it complicated ... Back at the pub, Jenny cries Laszlo did this to her. Hope frantically calls and finds out the bomb squad ETA. It is not soon enough. She makes Marlena go ... Marlena will be at the hospital helping ... Hope tells her crying cousin to stay calm. Jen asks for the cold hard truth and urges her to save herself. Hope, however, refuses to leave no matter what. She flashes a courageous smile ... Steve has overheard some Salem PD chatter and updates Kayla on Orpheus having John a a hostage. Kayla knows what he has to do ... JJ is on the move at the foggy desolate square. Gabi calls and begs him to stay safe. JJ does just that and then spies Orpheus with John, moving through the mist with a gun on his hostage. JJ pulls his own gun and demands he drop his weapon. BANG! JJ writhes in pain and realizes he is losing blood from the bullet in his side. JJ goes down! Gabi calls out to him from her phone, having overheard, but gets no answer ...

Kayla agrees with Steve that he simply has to find John. He will stop Orpheus. She will help him leave ... Meanwhile Orpheus has taken John to his townhome, where he makes him wire millions to his Swiss bank account. Now that the deal is done John suggests he leave Salem. Orpheus leers he would like to kill him first. The former pawn growls then do it but be sure to go afterwards. They do not need his brand of danger. Orpheus the snake slyly smiles he had another bomb planted at the pub ... Hope calls Rafe for help diffusing an explosive situation ... Back at DiMera mansion Gabi is in hysterics over what she heard. She gasps there might have been a gunshot. Chad calls the cops to report a possible shooting and they take off together. Lucas and Adrienne are still at the mansion so Arianna will stay safe here ... Meanwhile gasping JJ gets saved by Marlena the medical angel, who was on her way to the hospital ...

Rafe is furious the fiend strapped a bomb to Jen! Hope whispers there is no bomb squad. Rafe laments he is lousy at it but has someone else who can help ... Kayla the rebel is helping Steve plan his escape. A passionate smooch and her hero is off ... John drawls they had a deal. Orpheus is amused by his sense of fair play. Furthermore, he will not disarm the second pub bomb. His only regret is that Roman is not there. Then his revenge would be complete. The villain values retribution more than money. He explains he has felt pain from all his victims. Death would have been an escape from being on that island and losing his wife. To add to his pain his son and daughter denounced him. He was not always this way. John replies but he did become evil and his kids were better off without him. Orpheus angrily orders him to his knees. He places his gun to his forehead and asks if he is ready to die right here right now. John doesn't bat an eye. He plays it with the coolness befitting a soap superhero ...

Ed and Rafe decide to disarm the bomb over the phone with Hope. Rafe makes a live video call. Ed wants to see the device. Hope shows him. He suspects it is straightforward and starts to tell Hope to detach ... All of a sudden the connection goes dead ... Marlena is trying to stop JJ's bleeding by pressing on his wound. Blood oozes from his mouth. Gabi and Chad come running. Marlena needs an ambulance and urges JJ to deep breathe ... Hope calls back when she gets a signal and they continue. Ed the expert says to detach the red wire. She pulls it with a well manicured hand. One down two to go but the signal is lost again! After it comes back Ed instructs her to pull the blue wire, then adds no that would be too easy. Yellow ... Rafe starts to sweat ... Hope yanks out the yellow wire and Jenny shuts her eyes ... The last wire to remove is the green one. Jenny is crying, feeling the end is near. Success! The bomb is neutralized with only four seconds to go. They gush and hug over their success. Rafe calls Hope and asks how she is, his voice deep and seductive. She praises Ed for saving the day. Rafe blurts out he loves her and could not bear the thought of losing her. Hope loves him too but must clean up the pub. Jen and Hope hug. Jen is overwhelmed she stood by her. Hope smiles always ... JJ is still bleeding. Chad could find no one, nothing, no ambulance in sight. JJ is getting worse ... Marlena and Gabi beg him to hang on. He seems to be slipping away ... John dares Orpheus to shoot him while facing him. Orpheus leers he will not be able to stop the inevitable. An unexpected click is heard. Steve has slipped in and hisses he can stop the insanity. He now has his own gun aimed at the back of Orpheus' head and demands he drop his weapon now. John quietly considers his next move ...


END!
