DOOL update for Friday, December 4, 1992.

J&J's house:  Jack and Jo made final preparations for Carly's wedding 
shower -- Jo's done all of the work but the agree to tell Jenn that 
they found a caterer.  Jack tells Jo that he and Jenn both owe her a 
great deal for all her help.  She says she's his mother and would do 
anything for him.  He interrupts her saying they won't have to rely on 
her for long because he'll get the book published soon.  Jenn comes 
down and is surprised to see everything ready.  Jo excuses herself to 
check on things in the kitchen and Jenn tells Jack they really owe Jo 
a lot.  "You don't know the half of it," says Jack.  Jenn tells him 
she regrets it but she's going to have to miss the shower because 
she's been called to a meeting.

The church rectory:  Bo and Carly are meeting with the priest (Father 
O'Toole) to discuss the wedding.  Fr. O'Toole excuses himself for a 
moment and leaves Carly and Bo alone.  Bo uses the phone to call the 
station about his lead in Lisanne's case.  Carly looks worried as Bo 
tells her he might be able to wrap the case up soon.

The pub:  Shawn (who's making bachelor party preparations) frets at 
Roman for doing too much too soon when Roman tries to offer some help.  
John walks in and Shawn says he can help instead but Roman says they 
need to talk first.  Shawn insists again that he take care of himself 
and heads toward the kitchen.  John tells Roman there's no sign at all 
that Marlena was ever in DC.

The warehouse:  A couple of construction workers talk about the final 
preparations for demolishing the warehouse.  Marlena, who's apparently 
quite weak and can't even sit up, can just barely hear the men and 
mutters to herself that she's going to die.

------

The pub:  Roman tells John the key to finding Marlena is Paul Whitman, 
the guy who arranged her trip to DC.  John tries to reassure him and 
tells him they'll find her.  He leaves to check on Brady and says to 
tell Bo he'll try to get back in time for the party.  Roman tells him 
Bo understands that finding Marlena comes first.

The loft:  Carrie's playing with Brady when Billie stops by with her 
economics book so she can study for her test on Monday.  She says 
Jesse told her where Carrie would be before he left for New York with 
Roger.  Carrie seems to be upset with Billie and puts Brady down in a 
play pen.  Carrie demands that Billie tell her where she got the money 
to pay off the loan sharks.  Billie sidesteps the question saying the 
important thing is that Austin's not in trouble for the moment.  
Carrie asks if she went to Cash and Billie says no.  Carrie insists 
again that Billie tell her and she finally says she got the money from 
John.  Carrie says that John was in DC.  Billie says she didn't 
exactly ask him for the money.

The church rectory:  Bo tells Carly that he's sure Lawrence isn't 
telling the truth -- the question is whether he's covering up for 
himself or someone else.  Carly asks if he's making any headway in the 
case and Bo says he hopes so.  Fr. O'Toole returns and tells Bo that 
there's a policeman waiting for him outside.  Bo leaves in a rush and 
Carly tells Fr. O'Toole that she'd like to this opportunity now that 
they're alone to discuss something with him in confidence.

------

The church rectory:  Carly has a hard time telling Fr. O'Toole what's 
bothering her.  She says she knows that marriage involves a commitment 
which requires total honesty between two people.  She says she's 
keeping something from Bo because she's afraid if she tells him, 
someone else she cares about will be hurt.  He says he's known Bo for 
a long time and is sure if she just explains things to him, he's sure 
Bo will be understanding.  She says she knows Bo will want to help but 
that he'll also have an obligation as a police officer.  He realizes 
that if she's honest with Bo, he will be forced to take action as a 
police officer that will hurt someone else she cares about.  "Quite a 
dilemma, isn't it?" comments Carly.  He says he can't condone lying 
but there are times when certain things are better left unsaid -- 
particularly when revealing the truth will do more harm than good.  He 
tells her she needs to decide if this is one of those times and he's 
confident that she'll make the right decision.  He tells her just to 
give it more thought and prayer.  Bo returns at that point and asks if 
they're done with the wedding preparations.  Carly tells him they were 
actually discussing other things.  Fr. O'Toole excuses himself saying 
he's just got time to make his next appointment and they'll have to 
continue the wedding plans another day.  Bo tells Carly he thinks he 
knows what she and Fr.. O'Toole were discussing -- having another 
child.  She starts to interrupt him and he tells her that as soon as 
they get married, they'll go to more doctors and find a way to have a 
child.  In the meantime, she's got him and ShawnD.  She says okay and 
smiles at him.  He says they need to get going to their parties and 
she asks if his lead panned out.  He says no but that's okay -- sooner 
or later he'll find out why Lawrence is lying to him.

J&J's house:  Jack asks Jenn if she thinks it's a good idea for her to 
leave.  She says she can't help it -- she needs to go to work because 
they need the money.  He tells her to trust him and asks her to let 
Phillip handle the meeting.  She finally agrees that it might be okay 
to miss one meeting just as Alice and Julie arrive.  They say they 
came early to see if they could help and Jenn tells them everything is 
ready thanks to Jack.  Alice says it's really worked out well for them 
moving into the house.  Jack agrees that it's been great and leaves 
for the bachelor party.

The loft:  Carrie can't believe that Billie would take John's check 
without asking.  Billie says it doesn't matter -- she took a check 
from the back of the book.  Carrie [geesh...I'm *almost* liking her in 
this scene as she points out to Billie how stupid she's being] tells 
Billie that John will get a bank statement and it will let him know 
there was a check written for $5,000.  Billie doesn't understand why 
Carrie's so upset since she did it -- not Carrie.  Carrie says it's 
because she let her into the loft, she trusted her, and John is her 
family.  She says she can't believe that every time she turns around, 
Billie is causing trouble her again.  Billie asks what she's supposed 
to do -- she can't just let them beat up Austin.  Carrie says she 
could have done something else and Billie says she'll put the money 
back in the account after Austin's fight.  Carrie says they don't want 
Austin to fight -- that they're going to get Austin out of town on the 
night of the fight and won't bring him back until it's too late.  
Billie says she's not so sure that's a good idea -- that Austin will 
be really upset after all the work he's put into training, he'll be 
furious with them.  She says she's been thinking and they should stand 
by Austin.  John gets home just then and Billie makes a hasty retreat.  
John picks Brady up and Carrie asks if Roman had any info on Marlena.  
He says no and asks if she can keep looking after Brady for a bit 
longer so he can make a few more phone calls.  He suggests they go for 
a walk and she agrees.  As she's gathering up everything needed to 
leave with Brady, John thanks her for all her help.  She says she 
found an earring when she was hanging up his coat and comments that it 
looks like Marlena's as she hands it to him.  He's making a phone call 
and doesn't pay too much attention as he takes the earring and puts it 
in his pocket.

------

J&J's house:  The final guests arrive for the shower and Julie tells 
Jo that all the food is marvelous.  Julie asks Jo if she got the name 
of the caterer and Jo's rather flustered and says she didn't.  Julie 
says she could use someone like that at Wings.  Everyone starts 
wondering where Carly is and Julie says she's sure she's just being 
fashionably late.  Caroline and Kim go over to a corner of the room 
and Caroline tells her she's been reading a book about Multiple 
Personality Disorder and wants her to know that she's there for Kim if 
she needs anything at all.  They hug and Jenn walks over with Abby to 
ask how things are.  Kim says Abby's adorable and Jenn thanks her but 
says she needs a change.  Caroline says she'd love to do the honors 
and Jenn hesitates but hands her over after Caroline insists.  [Gee... 
what fun...changing a baby's diaper...you can bet I always jump at the 
chance to change a diaper!]  As Jenn's about to tell Caroline where 
the diapers are, Jo interrupts saying they're in the top drawer.  
Caroline heads off and Jenn looks at Jo curiously wondering how she 
knew where the diapers were.  Just then the doorbell rings and Carly 
arrives.  

The pub:  Roman finally gets in touch with Paul Whitman by phone and 
insists that he needs to get in touch with Marlena.  Whitman tells 
Roman that he hasn't seen her at all and doesn't know anything about 
her counseling someone in DC.  He says he's been in Europe and has no 
idea where Marlena might be.  Roman's more confused then ever as he 
hangs up the phone.  He calls Marlena's secretary to see if she knows 
anything.

The pit:  Marlena's in bad shape and starts mumbling to herself.  She 
says she can't hear them and asks what they're trying to say.  
Suddenly, there's a very bright light above and she sees a very 
ethereal image of Samantha, her dead twin.  Samantha tells her not to 
be afraid and Marlena starts to cry as she says it's good to see her.  
Samantha says it's good to see her too.  Marlena asks why she's here 
and she says, "I'm here to get you, silly -- to take you back with 
me."  Marlena says no and Samantha says she knows it's frightening and 
that's why she's come -- to make it easier for her.  Marlena begs 
Samantha to stop doing this to her and Samantha says this isn't like 
when they were kids, this is wonderful...peaceful.  She says Marlena 
has a lot of friends waiting for her and reaches her hand down toward 
Marlena.  Marlena asks if DJ is there and Samantha says he's wonderful 
and is waiting for her.  Marlena is happy to hear that but says she 
just can't go now...she has too many things to do.  She's choking back 
sobs as Samantha disappears.  Marlena calls after her and continues to 
cry out that she can't go now.

The loft:  Roman is thanking someone named Cooper on the phone and 
says he's on his way to the Brady Pub and he can be reached there.  He 
starts looking on the countertop for another phone number and finds 
the answering machine.  He wonders who it belongs to and plugs it in 
to listen to the message tape.  He hears one of the messages Roman 
left for Marlena and is very confused.  Then he hears a message he 
left and realizes it's the machine from New York and wonders how it 
ended up in the loft.

------

Outside the Brady Pub:  Carrie and Billie are arriving with Brady.  
Carrie tells Billie that she should face up to John.  Billie says she 
just borrowed the money until after the fight and will pay it back.  
Carrie says they already had a plan to help Austin.  Billie says there 
were holes in that plan but Carrie doesn't really care -- she says 
they could have worked things out.  Billie insists Austin wouldn't 
ever forgive them if they went through with the original plan.  Carrie 
says at least she cares for Austin and doesn't want him hurt.  Billie 
says she cares for him too and Carrie asks her why she keeps letting 
him get into trouble on her behalf if that's true.  Carrie says she 
wonders what Billie really wants out of all this and Billie says maybe 
she just wants to make him happy -- and if fighting makes him happy, 
she's going to stand behind him.  Carrie says she doesn't believe her.

Inside the pub:  Roman gets a call telling him that Marlena never made 
her flight to New York.  He tells the person on the other end to check 
all the out-going flights and see if she went somewhere else.  Bo 
arrives and everyone starts singing a "so long" song.  Shawn asks 
Roman where John is and Roman says he must have been held up.

J&J's house:  Carly takes a negligee out of a package from Julie and 
everyone "oohs" and "ahs" over it.  They joke about how much Bo will 
like it.  The next gift is from Jenn who says she wanted to give her 
something very special.  Carly opens the gift and it's a brass plaque 
[I guess it's a plaque?] with the title "The Brady Family Tree" with 
Bo, Carly, and ShawnD's names on it.  [Hmmmm...no mention of Hope... 
interesting.]  Jenn comments that it's pretty empty right now but she 
knows that Carly and Bo will have lots of children and grandchildren 
to fill it up with.  Caroline watches on -- concerned about how Carly 
will react to the gift but Carly just thanks Jenn.  Julie comments 
that according to superstition, the two broken ribbons from other 
gifts Carly opened will guarantee that she and Bo have at least two 
children.  Alice says they've opened all the presents and eaten all 
the food so it's time to go crash Bo's party.  Everyone starts getting 
ready to go.  Caroline goes aside with Carly and asks if she's okay -- 
commenting that nobody else knows she can't have any more children.  
Carly says it's okay -- she's just going to concentrate on the future 
from now on and Caroline is glad to hear it.  

------

Outside the pub:  [Gee...isn't cutie little baby Brady getting a 
little cold hanging out in the snow?]  Billie tells Carrie that if 
Austin hadn't met Carrie, he'd still be gambling and wouldn't need to 
fight.  Carrie says it was gambling that got him into trouble in the 
first place and he wouldn't have gotten into gambling if it hadn't 
been for Billie's drug problems.  Billie says Austin's going to do 
whatever he wants.  Carrie says she's going to go through with her 
plan on her own and Billie tells her not to count on any help.

Inside the pub:  Bo opens a gift with some red long johns from Jack.  
The guys all laugh and Bo comments that they're very hot.  Jack says 
Jenn picked them out and said something about keeping warm while 
Carly's on night duty.  Tom gives Bo a savings bond from himself and 
Alice saying it matures in 25 years and they expect Bo and Carly to be 
together and redeem it together.  Bo thanks him and Shawn says there 
are still lots of gifts to open.  He says Phillip couldn't be there 
but left a gift.  Roman says he heard about John's gift -- the trip to 
Cancun -- and so he called up Prof. Moore and arranged it so Bo and 
Carly could have their own night together and Chichenitza.  Bo thanks 
him and Roman says he knows how much the place means to them.  Just 
then the ladies come in.  Shawn says he'd like to see a kiss from the 
"charming couple to be" so Bo kisses Carly -- lots of hooting and 
cheering ensues.  Kim walks over to Roman and asks if he's waiting for 
someone.  He says he's just wondering about John and tries to call 
him.

John's car:  John's on the phone with someone at the police lab saying 
he's on his way in.  He hangs up and tries to call Roman to tell him 
what's going on but the phone is busy.  He puts the answering machine 
tape into his tape deck and listens to the messages again.  As he 
listens, he says to himself that Marlena would have called if she'd 
heard about Roman no matter what sort of problems they were going 
through.  He starts thinking back about things and starts to put the 
pieces of the puzzle together:  the earring Carrie handed him, Roman 
telling him about Stella's last words, himself finding the earring at 
the warehouse.  Suddenly he realizes what may have happened and heads 
toward the warehouse.  

------

The pub:  Billie comes in and Bo encourages her to join the party.  Bo 
thanks Shawn for a great party and Carly thanks Jenn for the shower.  
She says to Jack that she heard he arranged it all and thanks him.  
Jack says it was no problem -- really.  Jenn says Jack's been 
wonderful and she could never have done it without him.  She says Jack 
has just made her life so much better lately and that Abby's wonderful 
and she wants to spend every moment of her life with her.  Carly says 
she knows what Jenn means and excuses herself.  She goes to the pay 
phone and calls Lawrence to ask if it's okay with him if she takes 
Nikki with her and ShawnD to the Christmas tree farm to buy a tree.  
[Excuse me but...WHERE on the boat are they gonna put a tree?  
Outside?  Why are these people still living on a boat?]  Lawrence 
tells her Nikki's having trouble sleeping and she says she'll be right 
over.  She tells J&J that she's got to run a quick errand and asks 
them to tell Bo that she'll be back as soon as she can.  Roman goes 
over to Shawn and asks if he's heard anything from John and Shawn says 
he hasn't.  Roman says he should have arrived at the pub by now.

Outside the warehouse:  A couple of construction workers discuss the 
final plans for the warehouse demolition.  One guy says they'll blow 
the whistle twice then once more just before they blow the site.

The pit:  Marlena's in worse shape and is just kind of shaking and 
mumbling to herself.  

Outside the warehouse:  John runs up...slips on the ice...scrambles up 
and runs into the warehouse.  [I must say...Drake's fall on the ice
looked quite realistic.]

------

The pub:  Roman gets called to the phone.  Jack tells Jenn that he 
hasn't seen her this relaxed in a long time.  She says not since she 
started the show -- saying she feels like she's really complicated 
their lives.  He says he's not complaining.  She says that's just him 
-- he drives her crazy by never complaining.  He tells her he'll solve 
that problem and will start complaining first thing in the morning.  
She says she just wishes he'd tell her how he manages to keep 
everything together and he says that's not for her to worry about -- 
just know that if she ever needs anything, she can count on him.  He's 
kind of hugging her from behind and she turns around and they kiss.  
Jack and Jennifer kiss...in public...they kiss.  [Sorry to be going on 
but it's so unusual for those two to kiss at all -- much less in 
public.  I can't help myself.]  Meanwhile, Roman calls McCall at the 
police station and tells her to put out an APB on Marlena's car -- 
that it turns out she never took *any* flight out of Salem.

Lawrence's house:  Ivan opens the door to Carly who asks about Nikki.

The warehouse:  John runs around looking for Marlena and yelling out 
her name.  Down in the pit, she hears him.  The first two whistles 
blow just as she musters up enough strength to yell out John's name.  
He just has time to turn toward the sound when the last whistle blows 
and the explosion hits.

Roll credits...

Joanna.
