Days of our Lives begins today with Nicole having a panic attack at the DiMera mansion, looking for Rolf. She's upset that EJ would choose Sami over her.
Oh gawd, Nicole starts imagining the worst about EJ and suddenly, the picture cuts to black and white, and we see Lucas (Bryan Dattilo) narrating in noir-style about all his troubles. It's Days of our Lives meets the The Maltese Falcon. He's all upset about the heat and the fact that the "little woman" is cheating on him. Quick cut to EJ (James Scott) and Sami (Alison Sweeney) in bed together. You know, I love Alison Sweeney, but she's doing this high-pitched baby voice thing, and it's not pretty. Suddenly, they hear a noise and realize that EJ's wife Nicole comes in, so Sami scrambles in a panic into the closet. I think Arianne Zuker is the best one so far in the noir genre.

Down in the hospital lobby in today's Days of our Lives, Roman (Josh Taylor) suspects that Stefano might be responsible for the lockdown, but Abe (James Reynolds) isn't so sure, since Stefano is supposed to be in a coma. Lexie (Renee Jones) pipes in to give her two cents, since she is aware that something might be going on with Stefano.
On yesterday's Days of our Lives, Tony (Thaao Penghlis) and John (Drake Hogestyn) were working together to get the ventilation system back online. As soon as Tony agreed to help John, Stefano appeared before Tony, threatening vengeance for his betrayal. Tony picked up a wrench and wielded it at him, but in today's episode, we find out that it was just a hallucination. John takes the wrench away from him, and Tony runs away in a panic.

Today on Days of our Lives, the Salem PD headed by Roman (Josh Taylor) brings a team of officers to the hospital to investigate the lockdown on the seventh floor. Philip (Jay Kenneth Johnson) and Nicole (Arianne Zuker) are also present.
Stefano (Joseph Mascolo) has sneaked into Marlena's (Deidre Hall) room. He's got revenge on the brain. Marlena manages to whisper that she is sorry, but he monologues on and on about what he wants to do to her.
John (Drake Hogestyn), Tony (Thaao Penghlis) and Anna (Leann Hunley) have tracked down the control panel for the ventilation system. Anna takes offense that Tony won't let her touch the controls, even though she just wants to play eeny-meeny-miny-mo. Tony and John get into an argument over their differences instead of working together to figure out the controls.

Days of our Lives continues with the crisis on the seventh floor of the Salem Hospital. Kayla (Mary Beth Evans), coughing up a storm, puts an oxygen mask on Marlena (Deidre Hall) before going out into the hallway to see what's going on. Steve (Stephen Nichols) is locked in the lab and tries to break out, while simultaneously comforting his crying son.
Lucas (Bryan Dattilo) is also a patient in the hospital. He's in bed with tons of bruises and bandages. Chloe (Nadia Bjorlin) is at his side, and they start panicking when they realize that a mysterious gas is coming in through the vents. In fact, panic ensues with everyone who is trapped on the floor.

Days of our Lives continues in the hospital today. Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) promises Sami (Alison Sweeney) that she will have the residue in the syringe tested to determine what Marlena (Deidre Hall) was injected with. Steve (Stephen Nichols) comes to the hospital for Joey's checkup and Kayla fills him in on what happened.
Over in Stefano's room, Stefano bitches out Anna, so Tony (Thaao Penghlis) defends her. By the way, Stefano (Joseph Mascolo) is doing a terrible job at keeping his newly awakened state a secret because the blinds aren't even drawn on the windows. John (Drake Hogestyn) walks in and demands that Stefano tell him what he had done to Marlena.

Days of our Lives begins in the dimly lit church. John (Drake Hogestyn) is still lurking about in the shadows. Everyone has left already. Anna (Leann Hunley) sneaks over there and tells John that Stefano is awake.
Speaking of Stefano (Joseph Mascolo), he is in the hospital, telling his two sons EJ (James Scott) and Tony (Thaao Penghlis) that Marlena is the one who put him in a coma. Sami (Alison Sweeney) walks in the door and learns that Stefano is awake and that he has done something terrible to Marlena.
Indeed, Marlena (Deidre Hall) has just been pumped with a drug by one of Stefano's henchmen and she is slowly being paralyzed.

Today's episode of Days of our Lives begins right where yesterday's left off. It's the end of Bo (Peter Reckell) and Hope's (Kristian Alfonso) wedding vow renewal, and Mr. Baker, a newspaper reporter, threatens to expose Bo of corruption. Caroline (Peggy McCay) wants to know if Victor (John Aniston) knew anything about this. John Black watches the whole spectacle through a crack in the door.
In Marseilles, our favorite long-lost half-sister, Melanie Layton, has been brought down to the French police station where another American ex-patriate girl accuses her of stealing her diamond bracelet. The French cop outshines his counterparts in the Salem PD with his ineffectualness and doesn't stop the catfight. Max (Darin Brooks) finally shows up and has to break the two up. He has the bracelet in question.
