Anna runs into John at the church and tells him that Stefano is awake. John can't believe it but he accepts it anyhow. She says that she is terrified of him and he tells her that there is no reason to be concerned. He says that he is going to find Marlena. They decide to go to their townhouse but are stopped short because John's tires were cut. On the plus side, he has a motorcycle. She worries that her heels will get caught in the 'peg thingies.'
Tony and EJ tell Stefano that Marlena couldn't have done anything to hurt him and he says that he is going to destroy her. This is just when Sami comes in to ask what he has done to her mother. They argue and Sami is taken out by EJ, who assures her that she just hasn't been heard from in a few hours and that is not a crisis. She says that Stefano has some evil plot and she will find it. They argue about this of course.
Tony says that if something happened to Marlena, the authorities wouldn't have a long list of suspects. He tells him that he's a big believer in 'an eye for an eye'. Naturally he only understands that phrase in the literal sense and not in the fiscal sense that the rabbis intended. Stefano says that he is clearly not being loyal and explains that Marlena injected him with drugs whereas he could see and hear anything but not move. Not only that, but he heard his children talking about moving him into a "hideous medieval facility."
Marlena languishes on the ground. It's fortunate that soon, Anna and John come in and Anna calls for an ambulance. Soon, Sami and EJ come in. John does CPR on her and she wakes up. Soon, Kayla is there to save the day. She also yells at John for the way he was behaving at the wedding ceremony. She says he's clearly good on the inside because he saved Marlena's life. Sami thanks John for saving her mother's life and says that they will now stop waiting for the old John to come back. He says he will hold her to it. (Cue the old John coming back in 3...2...)
At the hospital, just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water... er, something like that... dark gas starts coming out of one of the vents.
