They tell her that they will pay for the surgery as she doesn't have any insurance. They all have lunch later - Roman cooks pasta, but Sami binges on a big bowl upstairs and then throws it up.

They head off to Johnny Angels while Marlena calls the hematology lab. Frank tells her the results are in yet and when she asks about her personal code, he tells her what he's been using, of course, Sami is conveniently at the lab to hear this exchange. She asks Frank if he can give her a lesson on haematology and he gives her a text book. She takes it away and finds out John and Roman's blood types, and then works out that if the baby has type O blood both J&M are type O so then the baby is John's. However Roman is AB so if the baby is either A or B, then it's Roman's. Back at the mall, Carrie decides to Sit with John and Rebecca so Marlena sits with them. At the hospital, Sami heads back down to the lab when she sees Frank leave. In the lounge a nurse tells Frank that the bloodwork results have just been entered into the computer. In the lab Sami is checking it out.

At the hospital, Sami heads for the lounge and writes in her diary. She doesn't hate her Mom but she hates what she did to her Dad.

It's finally over.
John finds Marlena at the chapel and she tells him that she knows that he had hope for the two of them, but she's not sure there was ever any hope.

Lucas takes Carrie to the Penthouse Grille for drinks and dancing since she can't eat because she's having surgery tomorrow.

He takes her in his arms and does just that.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Carly confronts Vivian and works out that she's been killing her patients. She can't work out how Viv is walking and keeps muttering that she should be paralyzed. Vivian says a will and the herbs helped. She tells Carly about her original plan to frame her for her death and says that she doesn't mind going to hell as long as she can take Carly with her. The phone rings but Vivian, holding the syringe won't let Carly answer it. They have a struggle and Vivian drops the syringe as Carly manages to incapacitate her (or so she thinks). She turns her back on Vivian (big mistake) to check on Caroline and call security and Vivian comes at her with the syringe. Carly struggles but Vivian stabs her in the arm with it and Carly sinks to the floor as she loses consciousness. Viv hightails it back to her room and Ivan helps her get into bed.
Alice finds Carly in Caroline's room and calls Bo (who is with Roman at the Cheatin' Heart). They rush to the hospital to find that Carly is being taken to ICU - there was morphine in that there syringe. Ivan overhears the conversation and Vivian works out that the syringe with the morphine must have fallen out of her pocket in the struggle and that was the one she stabbed Carly with. The security men find the other syringe on the floor and Tom, Roman and Bo are even more astounded to find out that it contained cleaning fluid. Vivian realizes that she may just have found a way to frame Carly for the deaths. As long as the good doctor never wakes up again.
At the hospital, things are beginning to look more and more like they are suspecting Carly of killing her patients. They give her something to counteract the morphine and hope it works. Bo decides he will find something to prove Carly's innocence and heads off to find her diary - the diary that Vivian has just forged an entry in. Bo is shocked when he reads that Carly thinks Caroline might die a painful death and she can't let her suffer like that.
Billie comes across Bo in the lounge. He's holding onto Carly's diary and is confused. He tells Billie that Carly would never try to kill anyone, let alone his mother. Billie doesn't want to say it but tells him how upset Carly was when Caroline suggested they delay the wedding plans. Bo goes to see Caroline who confirms it. Mickey tells Bo that Mrs. Levin's lawyer has permission from the DA to exhume Woodrow's body and do an autopsy. Bo ends up handing the diary over to Mickey as Mickey comes back with the results of the autopsy. They found the same chemical in his body as in the syringe in Caroline's room. Mickey says this changes everything - now they're talking about murder. Bo gets this wide-eyes totally gormless look on his face as he comprehends what Mickey is saying.
Vivian works out how to silence Carly permanently. She gets Ivan to get another syringe full of morphine and orders him to contact Mr. Wu. Dressing up as a nurse, she goes down to Carly's room, but finds Lawrence inside, distraught and telling her he loves her. He gets up and walks away and from the door, Vivian sees Carly's fingers move.
Ivan tells Lawrence there's a call for him and it's urgent and Vivian injects the morphine into Carly's IV. She gets back to bed and says it's all running wonderfully. Outside the room, Bo and Lawrence are arguing, but Lawrence opens the door and Bo sees Vivian's head flop back down.
Lexie turns up at the hospital and tells Bo they have to do a cursory search of the house. Of course they do and find the cleaning fluid that Vivian had planted there (and Carly had picked up only days before). Bo heads back to the hospital and goes to see Carly, telling her she has to wake so she can explain this (sounds like he's starting to doubt her). But then the monitor blips and flatlines and Bo starts screaming for a nurse.
Lawrence tells Nikki the bad news about his mother and the kid doesn't take it well. He heads down to the funeral home where he tells Katerina he will always love her.

Lawrence heads down to the funeral home where Carly is busy talking to herself inside her head but nobody can hear her. Lawrence tells her how much he loves her and then leaves as Carly is saying I'm alive in her own little nightmare world.
Jenn and Jack go to the funeral home to see Carly. She is trying to tell them she's alive but they leave, Jenn crying. They go back to the house but while Jenn is upstairs, Kate turns up and tells Jack to meet her at the airport in half an hour, they have to go to Chicago for an important Spectator meeting. She leaves and Jack follows her to Titan. He tells her he can't go as he has to be there for Jenn who is burying her best friend today. Kate tells him she needs him too, in fact she close to throws a temper tantrum and threatens Jack with selling the paper to Victor unless he comes. Jack goes home and tells Jenn he has to go to Chicago if he wants to keep his job. Jenn can't believe he is going. Meanwhile Billie turns up at Kate's office and eventually accepts her offer. Bo isn't back and the funeral is having to take place today because Carly's body is not being embalmed.

Ivan is balking big time, he thinks what Viv is doing is monstrous but Viv tells him if she goes down, then so does he and she has money and ways to get out of the country. They dress Carly and do her makeup and then Lawrence arrives to take Carly to the hospital for the service.
It's the day of Carly's funeral and she's in an open casket at the hospital chapel. Austin turns up at Jenn's to see how she's doing and she tells him Jack has gone off. Austin says he'll come with her. Lexie is clearing out Carly's locker and finds a ripped black sweatshirt in a rubbish bin in the locker room. She realizes it could belong to the Pacifier and that he might work at the hospital. At the chapel the service begins, people get up and talk about Carly. Jenn, Marlena, John and Shawn. People go up and say their last goodbyes and Bo arrives. He goes up to put his jade ring on her finger but gets a shock when he realizes she's still warm. Although no-one seems to have an explanation for it or even want to check if he's right they get him to sit back down. He sits in a back pew and continues to look as if he has a bowel obstruction. Vivian gets up to say something and then whispers to Carly that shortly they are going to bury her alive. The whole time Carly is screaming out that she's alive. Eventually, the service ends and everyone leaves for the cemetery.

He tells Carly that she broke her promise to him to grow old with him.

After the grave is filled in Viv gets down to ground level and rolls around on top of the grave, telling Carly she did it for Lawrence.

Billie has a nightmare that someone is chasing her, but she won't tell Bo about what happened. The gunman however, tracks her down and while Bo is gone, jumps out at her in the woods. She runs, with flashlight in hand until he catches up with her. She hears him laugh and shines the flashlight in his face. She begins to shake her head, repeating "No. No way." Until she says "No way Daddy, you're dead. No. No." Curtis doesn't really explain a whole lot to Billie, other than telling her he was the gunman and he was forced to do it or she and Austin would be killed.
