[Senusret I]

First things first, Jan built a cage in her cottage home, lured Shawn-Douglas there, drugged him, and now has him tied to a bed and locked in a cage.

Phillip likes Belle (still/again) and Kate is being a schemer to get Belle and Phillip together.

Sami and Lucas are sorta together....they're having problems (mostly, Sami acting like a douche bag all the time) but they do care for one another, have admitted it, and have had sex.

Now onto Marlena. They gave her truth serum and she confessed to all the murders except Victor's. She not only confessed, but she was evil and devious about it. Like, no regard for the dead or the survivors. It was like a completely different personality. She also admitted to the attack on Bo and Hope at the fasion show.

She claims that she killed Abe because "he knew I still loved Roman" or some DUMBNESS. It really didn't make any sense at all. Basically, for three days, the judge stood in Marlena's hospital room and oversaw the "confesssions" while Bo, Hope, and John looked on....and each victim's surviving family watched her confess and just get angrier and angrier.

So of course, Belle, Sami, and John are in disbelief and Belle and SHawn continue to be on the rocks.

Marlena is sent to jail. Stuff happens, but it's insignificant (jail cell fights, corrupt corrections officers, etc).

Meanwhile, Nicole calls Sarah Buxton from "Sunset Beach" and tells her she will hire her a lawyer to get her out of jail if she kills Marlena. So, Sarah Buxton (as Crystal) lures Marlena to the roof, bops her on the head with a gun, wipes the gun clean of prints, and leaves it on the roof with Marlena. Marlena wakes up, only to find that Bo has issued a "shoot to kill" order. The 'copters are circling and shooting at her. John comes to the roof to rescue her, but the snipers take Marlena out. Same witnesses this on the news, Belle sees this on the internet.

They take her into the hallway of the jail, and some random ass reporter has made their way into the prison with a camera man, and Marlena says goodbye to John, Sami, and Belle, and she croaks.

It's pretty sad actually.

John then takes Marlena's body directly to the church, where Sami accuses John of setting Marlena up sohe could be with Kate, but of course Sami is just hsyterical AS USUAL.

Celeste, who has been MIA since most of this went down, had a vision of Marlena on Friday. She said "EVERYONE IN SALEM WILL DIE!!!!!"

OH YEAH.....so I am not sure, but I think Tek is boning Lexi, which I am disappointed in because how predictable is it that the only two African American characters would hook up? He was at the Carver house playing with Theo, wearing some sweatpants and a sleeveless t-shirt. I am like "Um, who told you you could be up in Abe Carver's house playing with HIS son? And put some clothes on!"

I kinda wanted to see Tek steal Belle away from Sean, or with Nicole, or with ANYONE his own age. Tek is like under 30, Lexie is damn near 50.

ETA: I found out that they edited a few scenes out, probably to make sure we are still "on schedule" because of that one day that Days didn't come on. Here is what happened with Lexie, Tek, and Celeste:

Celeste has a vision of the serial killer's mask burning. When Tek arrives to see Lexie, Celeste enlists him in a tarot card reading. She ends up learning about Tek, who has never been married but has almost proposed before. Before she can delve further, Lexie arrives and Tek gives her a gift for Theo.

THEN Marlena's ghost came.
