worry about it. Things will work out...
Larry is furious with Brandon and thinks he's been using him. Brandon denies
this, but Larry wants the lowdown on what's going on between Brandon and Abe.
Brandon embellishes his story and says that Abe ruined his childhood. In fact,
Abe was the one responsible for putting his dad in jail so many years ago.
Brandon insists he's only trying to defend himself and his family, and he thinks
Larry needs to take some action, too. He strongly encourages Larry to go through
with the lawsuit...

will happen when Vivian and Victor arrive at the lodge...
The plane ride seems to be going smoothly until John finds the pilots
unconscious in the cockpit. John keeps this information to himself, asking only
Bo for some assistance. Shades of John's mercenary self shine through as he
starts to remember about the time he learned how to fly a plane. John radios the
Coast Control, so he thinks, but in reality it's Rolf. John explains the
situation and says he's going to need help landing the plane. At that point,
Rolf signals to Bart who presses a button on the remote device. The plane
suddenly starts to lose altitude...
Monday 8th May 2000
Vivian makes a huge self-sacrificing decision while up at the lodge. Instead of
exposing Nicholas and Kate's little fling, she decides to let them be together.
Vivian has come to realize that she will never get Victor back, so she
selflessly lets Kate and Victor be happy together. When Vivian gets a moment
alone with Victor, she tells him that she's going to take some time off to think
about her future and where she wants to be. So, for now, it's goodbye. A tearful
Vivian and Victor share a warm hug, perhaps their very last ever. Meanwhile,

loves Kate, but he isn't going to push it. He'll wait for her, and he's certain
that it won't be long until she realizes he is the man she truly wants...

Brandon here a few days ago. Before they really get into it, Sami and Austin

turret with a loaded gun and aims it at Stefano...
Unfortunately it doesn't look like luck is in the cards for the good people of
Salem today. Everyone reacts in horror when mercenary-like John announces
there's a bomb on the plane. John enlists in Shawn and Eric's help to disable
the bomb, which is inside Princess Gina's coffin. Bo and Doug try to keep things
under control inside the cockpit, and Marlene does her best to relax those in
the main cabin. But when an angry Rolf decides to take the life of his hired
steward, even more hell breaks loose. The steward, as well as the chef, are both
sucked out into space when Rolf presses a button which opens one of the airplane
doors. Marlene and Greta nearly lose their lives as a result of this horrific
ordeal. Meanwhile, John and the guys try to get to the bomb, but it's
booby-trapped. Will they be able to get rid of it before it explodes? Only time
can tell...

gun blasts, but Stefano has managed to dodge the bullet. Stefano and Kurt
struggle for the gun, but Stefano eventually prevails. Hope tries to run for her
life, but Kurt grabs her and uses her as a human shield. Kurt knows Stefano
would never shoot Hope. Stefano takes aim and hits Kurt in the shoulder.
Meantime, Hope makes a run for it. Will she escape?
Nicholas stops by the Kiriakis estate to speak with Kate about Vivian, but Kate
refuses to discuss this now. Later, Nicholas runs into Victor and tells him that

Titan. Victor is shocked and tells Nicholas there's no way he'll take over for
Vivian. Meanwhile, Kate and Lucas have a heart to heart. He knows she's hurting,
but he wants to know why. Will Kate reveal the truth?
The fatalistic flight continues for the good people of Salem. The bomb has
exploded, but the plane is still somewhat intact. John looks out the window to
complete darkness and has no idea where they are. According to their maps, they
should have hit daylight by now. Rolf chuckles as he watches this via monitor.

direction ever since the start. Bart is worried for the passengers on board, but
Rolf feels no remorse. it's all in john's hands now. Later, the pilot awakens

to forgive Nancy for this one...

decides to intervene, for her brother's sake...
On the island, Shawn is there for Belle who can't seem to put the tragedy of the

confronts John. She can't help wondering if the plane crisis has brought back
the mercenary in him. And if that is the case, she wants John to fight it. She
isn't going to lose him again...
Thursday 18th May 2000
Nancy tries to apologize to Chloe for her mistakes, but her attempts are ill

Abe's anger gets the best of him, which is definitely not a point in his
favor...
Greta screams out in horror when she sees her mother's dead body floating in the
lagoon. Eric tries to comfort her as Belle and Shawn rush in. Shawn's pent up
anger gets the best of him as he tells Greta that he can't believe Princess Gina

gets pregnant. But when he goes off to shower, we see Nicole's secret stash of

when everyone meets up for breakfast, and Victor announces that he wants Lucas,
Nicole, Sami, Austin, and Brandon out of his house within 30 days...
Brandon privately meets with Benny and explains his plans for Abe Carver. Right
now Larry Morris is their ace in the pocket. And they'll get more mileage
charging a police commander with putting an innocent kid in a wheelchair, than
from charging an out of work cop. When the hearing resumes, Brandon shocks
everyone with his "heartfelt" speech. Brandon insists he doesn't want
to profit from this whole ordeal, and he doesn't want Abe to lose his job...
Hope is an emotional mess as she pleads with Kurt to let her go. She wants to
have her baby in Salem surrounded by Bo and her family. Kurt tells Hope that's
never going to happen. In fact, he has other plans for Hope and her baby...
Wednesday 24th May 2000
Kate is appalled. She can't believe Victor is going to throw Austin and Lucas
out. Victor explains that they're grown adults and need to take responsibility.

Kate realizes Victor is right and reluctantly agrees to let her boys go. Philip
comes in, having overheard, and tells his dad that if Austin and Lucas are
splitting, he's going to need some wheels. Victor, however, reminds the boy of
his gambling debt and says Philip's not getting anything until he pays up...
Lucas and Sami battle it out over who their son will live with once they move
out. Sami privately tells Austin she's afraid it's hopeless. She doesn't have

isolated from her son. Sami realizes that if she wants Will, she's going to have
to play dirty. Will Austin help her? Meanwhile, Nicole, with her own agenda,
tells Lucas that if he takes Will from Sami, she's afraid the boy will hate
Lucas for life...

fact that he checked out the castle. John thinks they should go back and
investigate further, but Bo doesn't know if that's such a good idea...
Hope manages to get the gun from Kurt, but when she fires it at him, she finds
that it has only blanks. Later, Kurt leaves Hope to sleep, but that's the last
thing she wants to do. She looks out the window and cleverly devises a plan to
escape. Meanwhile, time is running out for Stefano, who is clearly on his
deathbed. But when he is visited by a vision of himself encouraging him to fight
for his life, we wonder if the phoenix will rise again...

Nicole...

Greta and Eric head to the castle cemetery so Greta can organize her thoughts.
Even though her mother caused so much chaos in everyone's lives, she's glad she
got to spend some quality time with her before she died. Greta thinks that when
Princess Gina's body surfaced in the lagoon it was a sign... her mother's way of
telling them to return to the castle...
Hope nearly collapses with delight when she sees John and Bo coming for her
outside of the castle. This is it... perhaps her last chance at escape.

and thinks that Philip has stopped by to ask Chloe out...
Abe and Lexie hit Lady Vi's to celebrate the outcome of the arbitration.
Ironically, Nicole and Brandon are there, too. Abe makes a selfless move when he
approaches Brandon and holds out his hand. Brandon feigns a smile as Abe shakes
his hand and says, "Peace, brother." Abe is thrown for a loop when
Brandon leans in close and whispers that they're not "brothers" and
they never will be...

is dead. Greta fills him in on the details of the unusual story, and this really
gets to him. Kurt accidentally slips up, and John jumps on this. He accuses Kurt
of knowing more than he's volunteering. Kurt denies this, but John doesn't buy
it. He slips into mercenary mode and grabs Kurt by the neck. He'd better tell
the truth, or else...

Upset that Chloe didn't give them her chem notes, Jason and Jan leave a headless
chicken on the Wesley doorstep. Craig and Nancy assume Philip is responsible.

gag, and he didn't want to rat on them. Meanwhile, Chloe is furious with Nancy
and wishes she'd just stay out of her life...
Brandon tells Lexie that he and Abe made up, but she's suspicious. She says that
after Brandon and Abe shook hands at Lady Vi's, Abe seemed very upset, but he
wouldn't talk about it. Brandon hides the truth and says he has no idea why Abe
would be upset. Later, Lexie tells Brandon that Abe doesn't hate him, he's just
concerned about Brandon's temper. But she assures Brandon that she believes in
him...

from his mommy. Maggie is proud of Lucas for really keeping his life on track,
and she advises him not to let Sami get to him...
Sami is totally thrown for a loop when Nicole says she thinks Sami deserves
custody of will. After all, she is the boy's mother. Nicole carries on about how
she is a firm believer in a mother raising the children. She knows it won't be
good for will if he's carted back and forth between Sami and Lucas every week.

that she and Lucas discussed it. And she thinks he just might come around.
Later, Nicole finds Austin working out in the Kiriakis garage and tries to
seduce him...
Sami corners Kate and asks her for a well paying job at titan. If Kate doesn't
cooperate, Sami says she may have to resort to the blackmail material. Kate
