Today's episode begins on Bo's boat where Shawn Douglas and Nikki have
been playing computer games.  Bo comes out from the bedroom having just
spoken to Jack on the telephone.  He tells Carly that Jack has asked him
to be Abby's godfather and that he has said he'd be honored.  Carly seems
distracted and Bo asks why.  She says she's been thinking about what
Nikki said earlier about Vivian having secrets.

Over at the Brady Pub Billie is trying to talk Austin out of having
anything to do with the fight promoter again.  He says he needs money
because he's gone to a loan shark for the $45,000 he owes on the bet. 
Billie says it's dangerous.  Carrie finally puts two and two together and
says to Austin, "You were a fighter?"

At the warehouse Marlena hears Roman's voice and looks up to see him
peering down at her through the floorboards.  He says he's going to come
down to get her out.  She tells him it's too dangerous, that he should
just throw down the ladder and she'll climb out.  He is angry that she
can't accept his help even when she needs it.  At that moment a shot
rings out and Marlena sees Roman's head fall forward.  She then awakens
from her dream screaming.

At the Donovan house, we see a replay of yesterday's final scene when
Kim/Claire shoots Roman in a struggle over the gun she's aiming at him. 
Kim screams and drops the gun.  Phillip:  "What have you done?"  Kim,
shaken and crying: "Did I do this?"  Kim sends Phillip to call the
police.  "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry," she cries.

Back at the boat Shawn D. and Nikki want to play one more game but Bo
insists that it's time for Shawn D. to go to bed and for Nikki to go
home.  He takes Shawn D. away to brush his teeth and Nikki asks Carly
what she thinks of his cousin Lawrence.  He says Lawrence is so different
from Bo, that he isn't so strict, that he'd have let them play another
game.  "That doesn't mean he wouldn't be a good father, does it?" he
asks.  Carly doesn't answer the question but asks about Vivian.  Nikki
says she's already up and around.

At the pub Carrie, Billie and Austin are still discussing Austin's
decision to fight.  Austin says he quit before and he'll be able to do
that again.  Carrie thinks he quit to play the piano, but Austin says it
was to gamble.  Carrie still wants him to take the $5000 she got from
John, but he wants her to stay out of it.  He thinks he can make the
money he need by boxing and leaves to go work out.

At the warehouse Marlena is pounding bolts with a monkey wrench.

Meanwhile, Kim remembers nothing about shooting Roman and Phillip tells
her not to say anything when the paramedics arrive.  [After commercial]
the paramedics are attending to Roman.  One of them says that the bullet
is lodged in the back of Roman's head but that it looks like there's no
skull penetration.  Someone asks if there's a family member around and
Kim tells him that Roman is her brother [mind you, Abe is standing right
there ... like he doesn't *know* that already?????!!!!!].  Abe asks what
happened.  Phillip says it was an accident and tries to take the blame,
but Kim won't let him.  She tells Abe that she did it.

Billie and Carrie are still at the pub.  Carrie wants to know why it's
crazy for Austin to fight if he used to be a good boxer.  Billie says he
could get killed in the ring.  She talks about her father getting killed
by the cops and says she doesn't want to lose Austin, too.  She talks
fondly of her father but acknowledges that he was often high on cocaine. 
Carrie thinks they should talk Austin into taking the money she got for
him.  Billie says she has a better idea.  We don't get to hear what that
idea might be.  Instead ....

At the warehouse we see what Marlena's been up to with all that pounding. 
She'd been making a ladder from those bolts.  As she starts to climb,
Stella arrives and wants to know "what the hell [she] thinks [she's]
doing."

Then it's back to the pub.  Carrie says she's going to try to talk Austin
out of fighting.  If she can't they'll go with Billie's plan [whatever
that is].  Billie thinks back to her childhood.  She remembers telling
her father she doesn't want to sing.  He says he'll give her something
that will make her give the performance of her life.  Then the police
arrive, her father and whoever else is there try to "stash the drugs" and
her father gets shot.  [After commercial] the police arrive at the pub
with the news about Roman.

At the warehouse Stella tells Marlena they're going to play a game --
Truth or Consequences.  Marlena must tell the truth or pay the
consequences.  Marlena thinks she can handle that.

Stella:   When my husband kissed you, what was your reaction?
Marlena:  I was so startled I didn't know what to think.

Stella:   And afterwards?
Marlena:  I knew it was a terrible mistake.

Stella:   [clapping]  Good answer.
          Your second question:  Did you kiss him back?
Marlena:  [emphatically]  No, I did not!

Stella:   I'll let that one go for now.
          Now for the bonus question:  What do you think of me?

Marlena is puzzled.

Stella:   Do you think I'm crazy?  Bad?  Or a little of both?
Marlena:  I'm not sure how to answer.  Maybe if you tell me why you want
          to know ...
Stella:   It doesn't matter why.  You're the master shrink.  You should
          be able to come up with an answer.

Just then the phone rings and the tape machine records Caroline
explaining that there's been an accident, that Roman has been shot and is
in surgery, that everybody's worried and that they need Marlena.  Marlena
pleads with Stella, crying, "You *have* to let me go.  Please."

At the hospital Carly has no news about Roman for Caroline.  Over at the
Donovan house Abe questions Kim about the shooting.  Phillip interrupts
and tries again to take the blame, but Kim says she fired the gun ... she
was holding the gun after it went off.  Abe wants to know what she was
doing with a gun.  Kim, distraught and in tears, says she doesn't know. 
She tells him she thought she was losing her mind but then she realized
she had multiple personality disorder.  She says she can't account for
things she's done recently.  Phillip tries to get her to stop talking. 
Kim says they're in trouble because they've been keeping this a secret. 
She says she doesn't want anyone else hurt.  Phillip tells Abe that Roman
found out about Kim's problem and thus became a threat to one of her
personalities.  Kim confesses that she is the person they've been looking
for in connection with the Randy Houston murder -- Lacey James.  [After
commercial] Abe asks if Kim is sure.  Kim says she wishes there was a
doubt.  Phillip insists that Kim needs psychiatric help.  Abe says he's
sure she does but that she's just shot a man and confessed to a murder. 
He reads her her rights.  Kim cries and Phillip holds her.

Billie runs into Bo on her way out of the pub to find Carrie.  Bo notices
she seems upset and offers to "listen."  Billie says she can't tell him
and goes on her way.  Carrie is at Austin's apartment telling Austin that
this fight promoter could ruin his career in music.  The phone rings. 
It's for Carrie.  She listens, then drops the receiver back in place. 
"What's wrong," Austin wants to know.  "My dad ... you have to take me to
my dad," replies Carrie.

At the warehouse Marlena is screaming, "Let me out!"  Stella tells her to
shut up.  Marlena:  "He could be dying."  Stella: "Well, that's *his*
problem, isn't it."  Marlena tries to reason with Stella, reminding her
what a friend Roman has been to her.  "If you have any decency you'll let
me go to him."  Stella:  "All right, *if* (and it's a big IF) I *did* go
along with this what would happen."  Marlena assures her that nothing
would happen, that she wouldn't tell a soul.  Stella is hesitant ... she
still thinks Roger is a problem.  Marlena states emphatically that she
has not interest in Stella's husband.  At that moment, the phone rings,
and Roger's voice is heard asking why Marlena hasn't returned his calls,
that it's important he see her.  Stella:  "Not the least bit interested,
huh!?!"

At the hospital Carrie, Bo and Caroline wait for news about Roman. 
Carrie tells Bo about how Billie lost her father.  Bo:  "That explains a
lot."  Carly arrives on the scene and tells the family that Roman is
still in surgery and that his condition is critical.

At the pub Billie phones Cash [is that the guy's name?] to arrange to get
some "stuff."

Meanwhile Stella is playing Roger's phone message over and over and over. 
Marlena is angry:  "LET ME OUT!"  Stella rants that Marlena deliberately
went after her husband ... that he was just another admirer to add to her
collection ... that Marlena never cared that she tore apart a family. 
"We're starting a new policy," she declares, "lights out early ...
tonight and every night."  She leaves Marlena in the dark ... alone and
crying.

Over at the police station Abe has called Bo into his office [now that
Roman's in the hospital he gets to use it again, I guess].  He says he's
found Lacey James.  Bo want to know what that had to do with him; it was
Roman's case.  Abe relates Kim's story.

At the hospital Carrie tells Caroline she's called Kayla but couldn't get
through to Shawn.  She's afraid she'd going to lose her dad.

Marlena hears a noise above her.  It's Cash and Billie making their drug
deal.  She yells for help but the two just run from the building.

Austin has materialized at the hospital and is comforting Carrie [I guess
he'd been parking the car all this time].  Carly says Roman isn't out of
surgery yet.  Carrie worries he won't make it.

Next we see Billie sitting on a bed looking at the drugs she's bought,
then tossing the vial across the room.

Marlena is becoming more determined to get out of her predicament.  "This
won't beat me ... you *will* get out of here," she says to herself, and
begins banging on those bolts again.

In the operating room a doctor calls for "suction" and says "we've got a
big bleeder here."  Out by the reception counter (or whatever that is
where everybody's always congregating) Bo arrives again.  Caroline tells
him it could go either way with Roman.  She wants to know what happened
... "who shot my son?!?"  Bo says they need to sit down and talk.

Cut to Kim being fingerprinted and having her mug shots taken.
