This is a 12 hour edit on 3 dvds, you receive a bonus FREE 4 hour dvd with this order! I also decided to do a 12 hour edit to cover four months of storyline as made sense for this all to be together for fans who are more interested in B&H together.

Note: I did not have as good of quality episodes from Nov 25, 1998 - Jan 26, 1999. There are about 30 BH episodes during this time frame. I was able to find about half of these in decent quality from a private Jensen Eckles collector (who saved his shows). There are about 14 more shows that are not up to my normal standard of quality. Rather than delay this project, I decided to proceed to finish this project. This edit begins with their reunion, through her becoming Gina. So nice that it fit on 3 dvds. So the first 6 hours is of standard quality, and then the last 6 hours is a combination of similar level of quality alternating with scenes from slightly reduced quality episodes (very watchable just not up to my normal standard of quality). I'm very picky about quality.

Bo & Hope #36 September 29, 1998 - January 26, 1999: 12 hour edit on 3 dvds!

DVD #36A Bo arrives at Alice's house to see Shawn D., but he's at a friends house. Alice asks Bo how he's doing and Bo tells her that he's learning to deal with the loss of the baby. Bo asks about Hope and Alice says John may know where exactly she is. Alice knows Bo still loves Hope, but Bo tells Alice that he doesn't think she feels the same about him and he knows things will never be the same between them. Alice says that they belong together and believes they will be together again one day. Suddenly, Hope runs through the door and into Bo's arms. Alice gives a subtle "Yes!" as the two embrace.

9/30 The reunion: Bo and Hope are holding each other, both wondering if it is a dream. As they part, Hope tells Brady that she had no idea that he was at Gran's. Speaking of Gran, they look around the room and realize that Alice has left them alone. Bo tells her that Alice has always believed the two of them belong together. Bo looks tenderly into Hope's eyes and says that she's not the only one.

Bo notices that she looks different (her hair) and that she look beautiful no matter what, like a princess. They both admit that they missed each other. Hope is anxious to see Shawn D, but he is at a friend's house. Hope wonders where Bo went? Since there was nothing he could do for Billie, and could not stop Hope, he decided to go to the Bayou. The two start to talk about what Hope learned in Lugano and what Bo learned in the Bayou.

Bo tells Hope that she found Swamp Girl. He recounts everything that happened: locking Greta in the cage, escaping, finding the catacombs under Maison Blanche. Bo makes sure to tell Hope that nothing is between them but friendship. Bo then tells Hope that the reason she wore the mud was that she was in the cage over the acid, not Hope.

Hope reveals that she learned she was never burned or had plastic surgery from the doctor on the Empress Express. She also tells Bo about meeting Lili Faversham and a host of others who knew her as Princess Gina. She smiles as she remembers Lili and says it was so exciting being Gina, winning at baccarat, drinking kir royales. But, Hope explains, that is the one memory she has, being over the acid. Bo explained that Greta was switched with Hope to be in that cage and she fell into the acid.

Hope feels sorry for Greta for all the pain she endured. Hope asks Bo what he thinks happened to her during that time? He says they both know, Stefano took her, erased her memories and turned her into Gina. But why make her Gina? Bo tells Hope that Greta was hired by Ernesto at the last minute and has no idea why Stefano would take Hope.

Greta remembers being in the hospital with Stefano there, and threatening her not to tell anyone what she knows. Hope realizes that Greta has come to Salem at a great risk, but Bo assures her that he will protect her. Hope is lamenting that their future was ruined by Stefano, but Bo tells her that their future is just beginning. Bo tells her that he never wants to be separated from her again.

Bo is ranting how Stefano ruined their lives. That he knew all along who she was and made her go through the process of proving she was Hope. "He's made our lives hell," Bo says. But their hell is not over yet, says Hope. "In fact, it may be just beginning."

10/1 Gran's House: Hope is concerned that their hell may just be beginning because she does not know what she did as Gina, it may be something awful. They recap the fact they have so far: the photo John found at Maison Blanche was taken in front of Lili's house in Lugano. Hope starts talking about Lili and how wonderful she was when Hope arrived, even wanting to take her to Count Olenska's art festival. That's how she got on the Empress Express and met many people who knew her as Gina, including Stefano, who was using the alias Rudolpho. Bo wonders how Stefano took the news that Princess Gina was on board, and Hope tells him that he saved her life by pulling her up from the side of the train.

The two continue talking about Stefano and what he wanted with Gina. Hope was certain that she was close to finding out the truth. She suspects that Stefano engineered the accident to prevent her from learning anything else. Bo surmises that Stefano is worried Hope will find the truth, and that only makes Hope more determined. Hope confides in Bo that she never wants any one to ever control her like Stefano did.

Bo and Hope talk about Greta and how Stefano can't know that she is in Salem. Hope detects that Bo is protective of Greta. Hope continues to talk about the trip. She flashes back to all the people she met and how it was this great adventure being Gina. Gina has become a real person to Hope, and that is why she must continue on her quest. Bo looks worried, he is concerned that Hope will lose her identity as Hope. "I would never do that," Hope says, but Bo looks at her questioningly.

Bo tells her that he will never lose her again. Bo is upset about Stefano and they plan to find out why Stefano would take her. Hope is grateful that Bo went to the Bayou to find Greta. The conversation turns to Franco and that Kate hired him to break to two up. Hope is surprised that Bo knows, and he informs her that Billie told him when they met in the bayou.

Bo tells Hope that nothing will ever come between them again, and that they can't recapture their past, but they can recapture their love. Hope wants to believe him, but there is something that is between them....the loss of Bo and Billie's baby. Bo assures her that he does not blame her for losing Georgia. If anything, he is to blame. But that's his problem to deal with, he loves Hope and will do anything to get her back. He pleads with her to tell him it's not too late for them as he holds Hope in his arms.

10/5 Bo and Hope were on their way to the hotel to meet Greta. Hope was excited to meet Greta, and she also told Bo about all the new talents she'd acquired as Gina. She also said that it almost seemed as if Stefano were accepting her as Gina again. Hope admitted that when she'd been face-to-face with Stefano on the Empress Express, she'd felt a connection. Hope then feared that maybe Gina and Rudolpho had had more than a platonic relationship. Bo told Hope that he was sure that had never happened, even if she hadn't had her memory.

Bo called from the car and told Billie that he and Hope were on their way over. Billie then panicked and feared that Hope might sweet-talk Greta into telling her the truth about the baby, which she couldn't allow to happen. Billie started telling Greta how beautiful Hope was and how she was a supermodel.

She went on to tell Greta how Bo wouldn't be there for her whenever she needed him. Greta ran off, and when Bo and Hope arrived, Billie told them that Greta had just left. Bo went after Greta, and Hope told Billie that for some reason, she felt that was exactly what Billie had wanted to happen.

Rolf asked Stefano why he hadn't gotten Vivian to sign over power of attorney. Stefano said he'd tried, but Vivian had backed down at the last minute every time. Stefano feared that since John and Marlena were involved, he might never get his treasures back. He then remembered how much fun he and Gina had had stealing treasures.

Rolf was concerned about Hope's transformation back into Gina, but Stefano said he would be happy to turn her back into Gina so she could help him again. Stefano remembered back to Count Olenska's ball, and in the memory, "Gina" told Stefano it had all gone perfectly. Stefano told her that he wanted to give her something and handed her an emerald brooch. Gina jumped into Stefano's arms to thank him.

Stefano returned to reality and said that was the Gina he wanted back, the one he'd trained Hope to be after he'd taken her from Ernesto. Rolf hoped Hope never learned she had never been scarred. Stefano said Ernesto certainly wouldn't talk, and the only other person who knew the truth, Greta, was dead. However, Stefano said that both Bo and Hope would pay for trying to uncover the secrets of Maison Blanche by turning Hope back into Gina again.

10/6 Greta hopped in the truck, and Bo threw himself in front of the truck to stop it. The truck hit Bo and knocked him unconscious. Greta panicked and jumped out of the truck to check on Bo. Bo was all right; he'd just gotten the wind knocked out of him. Bo begged Greta to stay, so she stayed.

Bo apologized for not returning sooner. He told her that both he and Hope wanted to help her, but Greta told him to forget about her and go back to Hope. Bo told Greta that he didn't want to forget about her then asked if Billie had said something to her to make her believe otherwise.

Greta remembered what Billie had said to her, and Bo asked once again if Billie had said something to upset her. Greta dodged the question and said that Billie had helped her leave the bayou and that she knew Billie loved him. Bo said he had loved Billie once, but Hope had always been his true love. Greta asked if that had been true even when Billie had been pregnant, which sent Bo for a loop because he hadn't known she knew about the baby.

Bo admitted he'd made a mistake, but Hope was who he loved. Bo asked Greta to return with him to see Hope. Greta agreed, but then she said she was going back to the bayou. Bo told her that it wasn't just about Hope; it was about her as well. Bo reminded her that he had promised her a life without pain, and he intended to keep that promise. Greta didn't say anything, and Bo asked her if she believed him.

Hope accused Billie of somehow forcing Greta to leave to cause problems. Billie told Hope she wouldn't make Greta run away because she'd helped Bo talk Greta into returning to Salem, and she gave Hope the short version of the story. Billie took delight in telling Hope that Bo wouldn't be there if it weren't for her help.

Hope remained cautious and told Billie that she suspected Billie was using Greta to cause problems between Hope and Bo. Billie just laughed it off, but Hope was serious and told Billie that she was sick of being blamed for every little thing that went wrong in her life. Billie told Hope that she was to blame; she was to blame for Billie losing Bo and her baby. Hope said the death of Billie's baby was tragic, but it was not the reason she wasn't with Bo.

Hope told Billie the truth was that Bo didn't love her, and she had to accept it and move on. Billie told Hope that she knew all about Bo's love for Hope, but she didn't think he'd feel the same passion for "Gina." Billie started saying how much she looked like Princess Gina. Hope laughed and said that she was not Gina; she was Hope. She said that Bo understood her search for the past, but he wouldn't understand her attempts to sabotage her search for the truth by sending Greta away. Billie screamed that she hadn't had anything to do with Greta running away, but Hope didn't buy it and wondered what was happening to her.

10/7 Hope told Greta that for many years, she'd thought she had gone through horrible surgeries, but it hadn't been her. Hope told Greta that she was very sorry. Greta turned her back on Hope and asked her to leave; she said she didn't want anyone's pity and again asked Hope to leave.

Hope wanted to ask Greta questions, but Billie stood up for Greta and asked Hope to leave. Hope told Greta that she might not have endured the physical scars Greta had, but she had endured the mental torment, and that was why she felt sorry for her.

Hope told Greta that they were both victims of Stefano's schemes, and they could help each other by taking down Stefano. Greta looked at Hope and said, "You're not Hope. You're someone I used to know." Greta had a flashback of Hope reading to her at Maison Blanche while she had been bandaged. Greta said she remembered Hope's voice and presence there and how she would read to her, play her favorite music, hold her hand, and take care of her.

Greta said sometimes she had been there, sometimes she hadn't. Hope asked if she had been there the whole time and if she knew what she had been doing for Stefano. Greta said she didn't remember anything about her and Stefano; she just remembered that she had been very kind to her and would comb her hair with a beautiful comb.

Hope realized the comb was the one from Lugano, and she asked if Greta remembered a compact. Greta remembered the compact, but she didn't remember anything about it. Hope started asking if she knew anything about Lily Faversham, Count Olenska, but Greta didn't remember anything. Greta was tired, and Hope offered to stay with her, but Billie said she'd stay with Greta.

Hope told Greta that she'd see her the next day then she and Bo left. After they were gone, Billie thanked Greta for not saying anything about the compact. Greta told Billie that she remembered Hope and that she had been a very nice and compassionate woman. Billie disagreed. Billie told Greta the only way to have Bo in her life was to get rid of Hope. Meanwhile, Bo told Hope that they would take down Stefano by finding the secrets of her past -- together.

10/9 While Greta was taking a shower at the Salem Motel, Billie returned with coffee for Bo. Bo thanked Billie for returning Greta to Salem. They started talking about Greta and how strong she was for leaving the bayou and going to Salem. Billie steered the conversation to Bo's future and asked if he had made any plans. Bo said that his future was on hold. He had to concentrate on Hope. Billie started throwing the fact that Bo had made many promises to her when she had been pregnant in Bo's face.

Bo was obviously getting upset, but he calmly told Billie that he had gone to the bayou to grieve and that Billie should do the same. Billie started in on Hope, wondering how she could grieve and put it behind her when every time she saw Hope, she was reminded of the argument that had made her lose her baby. Bo told her that she couldn't keep blaming Hope. Billie was getting spiteful and said that when she'd seen Hope in Europe, it had been very strange, because Hope had been so immersed as Princess Gina.

Billie's comments raised many questions for Bo, and he wondered why Billie had been in Europe anyway. Countess Wilhelmina, Billie said. Bo was suspicious -- Europe was a big place, but Billie covered by saying it had been a coincidence. She again steered the conversation to how Hope had really gotten into the Gina persona. In fact, Billie said, Hope preferred being Princess Gina; she did not want to be Hope Brady.

Bo was getting angry, saying he was sick of all the lies and manipulations keeping Bo and Hope apart: Ernesto and Stefano conspiring to keep Hope, and Kate hiring Franco. By finding Hope's past, they could get control of their lives back. Billie then posed the question of what he would feel if Hope had been married or had even had a child during that time.

Bo conceded that it was possible, but he would deal with it. Billie was worried about him because she loved him. She told him that maybe they could get back together and have another baby. At that, Bo turned to her and told her, in no uncertain terms, that there was no future for the two of them. Even if things did not work out with Hope, Bo would never be with Billie.

Billie left and ran into Hope, who was wondering if Bo and Greta were inside. Billie sneered and said yes, they were, stating, "He's all yours, Princess," and she stalked off. Inside, Bo told Hope that he'd had a talk with Billie. He updated her on what the two had talked about. He loved Hope, and his future was with her. Bo then told her he had a way to stop Stefano for good.

In the Horton kitchen, Hope was reunited with Shawn D as Alice looked on. Shawn D noticed Hope's new hairstyle, and both commented on how they liked it. Hope said that she was still Hope Williams and was about to say Brady but changed it to, "I'm still your mother." Shawn D hinted that since she and Bo were back, they might get back together. Hope decided to plan a family dinner, and Shawn D was happy about that. He left for school, leaving Alice and Hope to discuss what had happened the night before. Alice asked the $64 million dollar question: if Bo and Hope were getting back together.

Hope told Gran that things were complicated, but the phone rang. It was Lili, who had called to check up on Hope. They talked a bit, and Hope mentioned Vivian's name. Lili got an angry look on her face. Hope inquired as to Lili's health, and Lili said she was fine and was still planning to visit Salem. Hope was very happy to talk to Lili. When Lili hung up the phone, she commented that it was sad that Gina lived in the same town as that awful Vivian Alamain.

Hope admitted that she would never have a love like she had with Bo, but Stefano had taken her away. Hope informed Alice that she had never been in the cage during the explosion and that Bo had found Greta, who had confessed to the illusion. Alice was confused about the whole situation, but Hope straightened her out. They just couldn't figure out the birthmark.

Alice was thankful that Bo and Hope were working together on the mystery. Hope told her not to get her hopes up, but Alice said to have faith. Hope started talking about feeling responsible for Billie's loss. Alice said that Hope couldn't keep feeling guilty; it had happened, and it was time to move on. Hope said it went farther back; Bo had betrayed their love by sleeping with Billie.

Alice then told Hope that Franco was dead. She was shocked and felt bad for Roman and Marlena. They returned to talking about Bo, and Hope told her Gran that she would love to be a family again, but she needed to find out about her four missing years. Alice assured her it was meant to be. Hope left to check on Bo and Greta but told Alice that she worried what would happen if Stefano ever found out that Greta was alive.

10/12 Bo and Hope arrive at Greta's room (she is still in the bathroom) as they talk about Sami's woes. Bo is terribly upset because he knew all along that Franco was bad news. They discuss their progress so far on Hope's past. Greta joins them and Bo says he has an idea on how to bring Stefano down. He excuses himself to go get coffee for them, leaving Greta and Hope alone to talk.

First, Hope thanks her for coming forward to help and tells her that she is truly sorry for all she has been through. She promises Greta that she and Bo will not let anyone hurt her. Hope also asks her to not form an opinion of her based on what Billie has told her. She tells her that they used to be good friends and how feelings for Bo came between them.

Hope tells her about how Billie blames her for the death of her baby. Greta questions her about tis and Hope tells her the whole story (Billie's version, that is) Of course, Greta knows it isn't true, for she saw Billie burying the baby in the Bayou. You can tell that Greta really wants to tell Hope the truth and struggles with it. It looks like it is right on the tip of her tounge, but she holds back and says "I can't believe this."

Bo returns and has coffee and sweet rolls (Greta's favorites) and wants to know how it's going. You can see that Greta is smitten with Bo. As they eat, Hope questions Bo about his plan to bring down Stefano. He wants to take Greta to Stefano and confront him and show him that she is still alive. Before he can go any further, Greta becomes agitated and upset. She yells that they tricked her, lied to her and she can't trust them.

10/13 Greta tells Bo he lied to her about Stefano. Bo says if she doesn't confront Stefano, she'll have to hide forever and he knows she doesn't want that. Greta says what she wants is to go back to the bayou. They continue arguing, but Greta says she won't face Stefano. Bo apologizes and says he won't make her do something she doesn't want to do. Greta leaves to go to the bathroom and Bo beats himself up for mentioning Stefano. Hope tells him it's okay and that Greta trusts him.

Bo tells Hope about how he and Greta hid down in the tunnels of Maison Blanche and how he got blinded down there. Bo goes on to tell her how he and Greta bonded and that Greta showed him her true face shortly after he regained his eyesight. Hope tells Bo he is the most sensitive man she knows and hugs him. Hope says they are all responsible for their pain. Bo hopes they can get back together again, but Hope isn't sure if it's possible, but then again she could be wrong.

10/14 Rolf tells Stefano they may have a problem with Greta. There has been activity in the catacombs under Maison Blanche. Stefano says that if she is alive then all his plans will go up in smoke. Rolf says that Greta may know more than they think she does. Stefano says that is why he's sending Bart to the bayou. Rolf asks Stefano what will he do if Greta is alive? He tells Rolf that he will find her and silence her! Rolf asks if he's going to kill her, but Stefano says he wouldn't do that to someone he cares about. He says that he'll just make sure she tells nobody, especially Hope, what she knows. Stefano sends Bart to the bayou, and when Bart says that someone has been in the catacombs, Stefano says he's flying down there immediately.

Greta sees Bo holding Hope and asking her if there is a chance for them to be together. Hope says that she has a feeling that they might have a future together. However, Hope says she can't commit to him until she learns what Stefano has done to her, she's afraid he could control their future. Bo says that he won't let Stefano control anyone he cares about.

Greta walks out and asks Bo if he thinks he can do it. Bo says he does and that they have the upper hand because Stefano doesn't know she is alive or that Hope knows so much. Hope asks Greta if they will help them, but she doesn't know how. Greta says that she was on medication most of the time and doesn't remember much other then Hope talking with Stefano about her trips and her success.

Bo and Hope start talking about what she might have been doing for Stefano. Hope mentions Lily and Greta asks whom. Hope tells her that Lily is her guardian angel. Greta realizes that Hope has done some investigating together before. Bo says they will solve this mystery, but Hope says it will be their toughest one because it involves them.

Hope mentions Greta's part in it all, but Greta says she sees no way that she will be a part of their lives. Bo says he won't abandon her and wants to have her face restored. Greta refuses to have anymore plastic surgery. Hope calms Greta down and says that Bo only wants to help her because he cares for her. Greta says she cares for them, but she doesn't know anything else that can help her. Greta says all she remembers is Stefano and the strange doctor.

Hope asks if Rolf was the Dr. and Greta says yes. Hope says that she knew Rolf recognized her in the compound and that he may be the one who brainwashed her and John. Bo says they must find him, but Hope says he's disappeared. Greta says she's told him everything she knows and she wants to go back to the bayou. Bo tells her he won't hold her against her will, but he does want to protect her. Bo asks if he trusts her and she tells him he's the only one he trusts.

10/15 Greta is pleading her case with Bo, she wants to go back to the Bayou where she feels safe. Bo tells her that he won't make her do anything that she does not want to. Greta is getting upset and Hope difuses the situation by leaving them for a while so the two of them can talk. Alone, Bo asks Greta for the real reason why she wants to leave. Greta feels that she is a distraction for Bo. He argues that she is not, but she is adamant. Bo finally gives in and says that he will let her go and Greta says, "Tonight, I want to go home tonight."

In another room, Hope dials up Lily to chat. Lily has been concerned about her, and Hope tells her that she just wanted to say hello. She updates Lily on the clues she's found and that Stefano won't be any trouble as long as he believes that Hope won't find any more clues. Hope and Lily agree that when she comes back to Europe, they will visit Count Olenska's art festival.

Greta says that she will miss Bo and he tells her that she misunderstood. He will let her go....out of her room and to that dinner he had been promising her. She is worried now that they will be at a restaurant, but Bo tells her that it'll be at the Pub, then up to Green Mountain and the wilderness. Greta is tempted and Bo keeps turning on the charm. She caves in and agrees to go.

Hope is happy that Greta is going to the Pub and glad that she was able to fill in so many blanks in her life. Greta is saddened that Bo and Hope are so close and Hope tells her that they've known each other since they were kids. Even though they were apart for a long time, they share a lot. It's Stefano that is the problem and as long as he is controlling everyone's lives, there will be no peace.

Stefano and Bart have arrived at the catacombs and Stefano wistfully tells Bart that Maison Blanche was his safest haven, but that the catacombs are all that remain. Bart surmises that Greta was hiding in the catacombs and Stefano vows to find out just who it was.

In one of the rooms, Stefano and Bart see a lock of hair. Stefano leaps to the conclusion that it is Greta's. He is wondering how she could be alive and Bart swears the two local yokels told him she died after being eaten by an alligator. Because of the tornado, the yokels are gone, so Bart could not talk to them. Stefano has a feeling that Greta was the one in the catacombs. Bart thinks that even if Greta is alive, Bo and Hope would have no reason to even come down to the Bayou. Stefano is not so sure, he cannot leave anything to chance.

Stefano tells Bart to get his men down to the Bayou to search every inch of it. Looking around in the library, Stefano finds a book of Longfellow's poems and in it a recent picture of Hope. Stefano realizes that Bo left the picture there and may have been there with Greta.

10/16 Greta is telling Hope that she knows how dangerous Stefano is first-hand. Hope commiserates with her and tries to get some more information about the time Greta was at Maison Blanche. Greta gets a funny look on her face and looks strangely at Hope saying that it's like looking at a ghost. Greta tells her that she reminds her of someone.

Hope presses the issue and Greta backs off saying that it was probably the time they spent together at Maison Blanche. That time is foggy in Greta's mind. Hope tries to get more answers and Greta is getting upset saying if Stefano ever found her, he would kill her. That, Hope says, is the big question. Why would Stefano kill her? Greta must know something. Hope swears that she and Bo will never let Stefano hurt her again. Hope gets frustrated about how Stefano has ruined their lives. She begs Greta to help her. Greta says she will try.

Bo arrives and Greta is happy to see him. She feels safe when he is there. He's glad that she is still there; he wants her to meet his family. This scare Greta, who was thinking they would have a quiet dinner. Hope chimes in that the Brady family will make her feel wanted and safe and that the Pub is a great place to be.

Everyone at the Pub knows about Stefano and how evil he is, so she won't have to worry. Greta starts freaking out, saying that she can't face everyone with the way she looks. Bo assures her that she won't scare these people off. They'll see what a beautiful, intelligent woman she is. The sell job works, and Greta agrees to go, but she is leaving in the morning and no one will stop her.

It's a family reunion as Bo and Shawn catch up at the Brady Pub. Shawn wonders where Bo has been for the past few month, but Bo does not give any answers. He wonders where Caroline is; she is feeding the homeless at the shelter. Bo asks his Pa if he would do him a favor....whip up some of that famous Brady Pub food for someone special. When Shawn asks who the special person is, Bo tells him he better sit down.

Bo updates his dad on the whole Greta/Hope situation. Shawn is baffled as to why Stefano would do such a thing, it’s like he wants revenge on the Brady family. Bo and Shawn agree that they can't let Stefano get away with it. The conversation turns to Greta and Bo wants to have her meet the whole family and show her how great life can be.

Bo comes out and everyone is glad to see him. Abe especially as now Bo can return back to work. Billie asks to talk to Bo privately and wonders where Greta is. Bo tells her not to worry, she is with Hope. Billie panics, thinking that Greta may tell Hope about Georgia. Roman sees the worried look on her face and asks her what's wrong.

Roman and Bo are sharing the details of their respective situations when Billie comes up and wants to talk to Bo alone. She's wondering if leaving Greta and Hope alone is such a good idea. Bo doesn't think it's a bad idea and wants to know why Billie is worried. She comes up with the lame reason that because Hope is so beautiful, it will remind Greta of the life she used to lead.

Bo doesn't buy it and brushes Billie off saying he has to go pick them up. Roman tries to get the real reason Billie is so upset out of her. She says that Bo made a mistake bringing Greta to Salem and Roman teases her by asking her if she is jealous of Greta.

Bo, Greta and Hope arrive at Shawn and Caroline's place. They are confident that once Greta meets the Brady's, she will want to stay in Salem. Greta is scared, not wanting to meet so many strangers at once, but Bo assures her that he and Hope will be with her the whole time.

Stefano and Bart are looking at the picture of Hope and Stefano is fuming that Bo was snooping. Stefano does not want to believe that he found Greta and worries what would happen if Greta and Hope met up. Bart asks again about the locals in the Bayou and if they lied to him. Bart doesn't believe that Greta could have survived. But Stefano has different ideas. Greta is the key to unlocking Hope's missing four years and John's past, and he can't have her running around.

At least, Stefano says, he left no incriminating evidence at Maison Blanche before it burned down. Bart confirms that he had to move it all to the secret room in his mansion in Salem. Bart then sees a champagne glass with lipstick and the realize Bo was not alone. Stefano is furious and throws the glass against the wall. They hear a noise and scurry behind one of the pillars.

Wayne and Earl enter the room, guns in hand. It was lucky of them to fall down the hole or they would never have found the catacombs. The boys lament that since Swamp Girl left, the Bayou has been ravaged by the tornado, causing them to lose everything. Bart moves and makes a sound and the boys go over to investigate.

As they walk to the pillar, bats start flying around and the boys get scared off as now that their lucky charm has left, the tunnels are probably haunted. Still listening behind the pillar, Stefano learns that Bo was down in the Bayou and that he must have taken their Swamp Girl back to Salem.

10/19 Bo FINALLY sees his parents, well, at least Shawn. Caroline is off feeding the homeless at the shelter. First thing Bo asks is for his folks to fix a special dinner for someone special. He has Shawn sit down to explain who this person is.

While Bo's at the pub, Hope has some time alone with Greta. She encourages her to try to remember whatever she can to help her. Greta stares hard at Hope, saying it's like seeing a ghost. It can't be true. Hope reminds her of someone. The subject changes to Stefano and how he had sent men after her in the bayou before. Hope swears she and Bo will not let Stefano hurt her again.

Bo and Shawn come downstairs and Bo is warmly welcomed by them all. He offers his help to Roman with Sami's investigation. Abe gives him a look and tells him it's about time he returns Detective Brady. Billie asks for a minute alone with him and pulls him away. She asks where Greta is and he tells her she's with Hope. Billie looks worried and after Bo returns to his family, fears Greta may tell Hope the truth about Georgia. Roman asks what's wrong.

Bo and Roman talk about Franco/Sami. Billie had filled Roman in, so he knew. Billie steps up and shoos Roman off to talk with Bo. She tells Bo that Greta shouldn't be alone with Hope. Bo returns to the room and Greta gives him a big smile. She feels so much safer when he's there. Bo tells her he was afraid she had run away before meeting her family. He and Hope assure Greta that everyone at the pub is great and will make her feel comfortable. Pop's got the chowder on the stove and he's starving. Greta agrees to go tonight, but she is going back to the bayou tomorrow and doesn't want them to stop her.

Bo and Hope bring Greta into the family quarters of the pub. They want to take her downstairs, but she's not ready to meet all those people at once.

Stefano is in the catacombs, in disbelief. Greta can't be alive! Bart swears those "boys" say Greta is dead. Bart finds a wine glass with lipstick on it and realizes Bo wasn't there alone. Stefano launches the wine glass at the wall. They hear a noise and hide behind the wall. It's Wayne and Earl. Stefano and Bart look worried with the entrance of Wayne and Earl, but bats move around and they comment how since Bo took Swamp Girl back to Salem, this place isn't the same. This confirms to Stefano who was there and where they went.

10/20 Rolf asks about Greta and Stefano tells him that she's in Salem with Bo, but he has a way to take care of her and looks at Wayne and Earl. He tells Rolf that he plans to use the Stone Age boys to bring Greta back to the swamp. Stefano fears the thought of John and Greta reuniting because she could remember because they weren't able to perform the "procedure" on her. After landing, the stone age boys make their way to the pub.

At the pub, Hope wonders what made Greta leave, and then she sees Billie. Hope realizes that Billie left the pub for awhile and must have said something to drive Greta away. Hope accuses Billie of driving Greta away, and for some reason she keeps trying to leave after they are alone together. Billie denies driving Greta away, but Hope says she knows she doesn't want her here and asks why.

Bo finds Greta staring into the pub window and Bo tells her that they are his family and friends, he's known them most of his life. Greta asks who they are and Bo points them all out. When Bo points out John Black, Greta says "Father John, I knew it!" Bo brings Greta into the pub and she jumps into John's arms and says "it's you, it's really you!"

John asks her if she knows him and Greta says of course she does and then thinks he's teasing her. Greta says "Of course I know you, Father John, but your clothes are different. Aren't you a priest anymore?" John is shocked and asks if she knew him when he was a priest. Greta is hurt that John doesn't remember and Hope explains to her that Stefano brainwashed John.

Greta realizes that Stefano brainwashed Father John just like he did to Hope. John shows Greta the picture of himself in Lugano and Greta says she knew him when he looked like that, in Europe. Greta says that she was just a kid, but she remembers him in Europe, not New Orleans. Greta tells John that he was a good friend to mother. John doesn't remember anything, but like Hope, he's trying to find his past.

John asks Greta who he was. Greta says that he was a friend of her mother's and that her mom sent her to boarding school, but when she came home on break he'd be there and help her with her studies. Greta tells John that she used to help him with her French lessons. John is shocked because he doesn't speak French. Marlena asks who her mother is and Greta says her name was Gina, but people used to call her Princess Gina.

10/21 Inside the pub, everyone is shocked that Greta revealed that her mom is Princess Gina. Hope tells Greta that Stefano brainwashed her into believing she was Princess Gina. Greta tells Hope that she looks a lot like her mother, the resemblance is amazing. Hope says that isn't possible, but Greta says she only meant she looked like her mom, she's not her mom. Hope asks where Princess Gina is now and Greta says that she died eight years ago. Greta says that she was studying acting in the states when she got word that her mother had died.

Wayne and Earl see Billie and says they should give her Georgia's casket now. However, Wayne says they should report back to Mr. DiMera. Wayne and Earl call Stefano and tell him that they saw Bo, but not Swamp Girl. Stefano tells them to go back to the pub and wait for Bo to leave, if they follow him they'll find Greta.

Back in the pub, Greta tells everyone that she didn't spend much time with her mom because she was in school a lot, but she has a lot of memories of Father John. John tells her to just call him John because he's not a priest anymore. Greta tries to tell them about her mother, but she gets choked up and leaves to get some water.

John and Hope talk about how Stefano must have taken her to play Gina, but the picture he is in is so old that he couldn't have known Hope when she was playing Princess Gina. Greta returns and tells everyone that her mother was born into an exiled branch of Prussian royalty and kept the title for show. She says her mom was briefly married to a prince, but never talked much about him.

John asks Greta if her mom knew Stefano DiMera, but Greta says she doesn't think so because the first time she met him was at Maison Blanche. Hope asks if her mom knew Rudolpho Meradi. Greta says she doesn't think so. Hope says this is very important and asks Greta if her mom had birthmark behind her ear, but before she can answer Billie spots Wayne and Earl and screams.

Bo asks Billie what is wrong and Billie says that she just saw Wayne and Earl. Bo doesn't see them and Hope asks if she really saw them. Billie says yes and that they've come for Greta. Greta says they won't hurt her and she want to stay with Father John. John tells her they'll have a lot of time to become reacquainted. Bo and Greta leave and John tell Marlena how excited he is to have meet someone who can tell him about his past.

Wayne and Earl go to see Stefano and tell him that Billie saw them. Stefano is furious and tells them to go find Bo and Greta now! They leave to trail Bo and Greta and Stefano says once he finds Greta, he'll take care of her. Bo and Greta make their way through an alley with Wayne and Earl right behind.

10/22 Wayne, Earl and Bart come in from their night of reconnaissance. they were camped outside Bo's hotel room all night, but Bo never returned. Earl, seeing the lavish food at the table, mentions that some breakfast might be nice. Stefano tells them to help themselves and they remove the cover off one of the dishes. Wayne looks strangely at the eggs and wonders what the yellow gunk on top of them is. Stefano sighs and informs the two it is a hollandaise sauce.

Stefano starts analyzing what possible damage has been done. He figures Greta has told Bo and Hope about the Ernesto/switcheroo, and he can live with that. But if Greta comes into contact with John and starts filling him in on his past and Stefano's involvement with the real Gina, then that would be a catastrophe.

Bo and Hope are at the Horton's having breakfast. The two banter like the old times. They talk about Greta and her reaction to seeing John and the real Princess Gina and the relationship between the two. They both feel sorry for Greta in that her mom was never around. Bo continues saying that he thought Greta was about to tell them a lot more when Billie saw Wayne and Earl. Hope says that she does not believe Billie, but Bo does. Bo tells her that if anything, Billie has it out for Hope, not Greta.

The conversation turns to where Bo and Greta are staying and Bo wonders if it is okay they are staying with her. She tells him yes, in fact, it is nice to have him under the same roof as her. She moves closer to him, and they are about to kiss when Greta walks in. Hope jumps back and quickly asks if Greta wants some coffee. She says yes and Bo asks how she slept. Not well, she concedes. She is worried that if Stefano erased Hope and John's memories, there is no telling what he would do if he knew that she was alive.

Bo is not concerned about Stefano, but he is worried about Wayne and Earl. They will have to outsmart them, which prompts Hope to tell them that should be easy, they aren't the brightest lights in the universe. Hope is anxious to get the answer to the question she posed last night to Greta: Did her mom have a birthmark? Greta says she does not know, which disappoints Hope. She slowly brings her hand to the back of her head, rubbing the mark and wondering.

Bo asks if Greta will tell them anything and everything about her life and her mom's. Greta says that she was born in London, but lived in Europe for most of her childhood. She was raised by a host of nannies as her mom was always out traveling. Greta is saddened as she recalls her lonely life. When she was ready for school, she was shipped to many boarding schools.

Greta figures this is why she was able to spend so much time in the Bayou alone. Hope feels bad for her and says that she probably can't wait to go back to the Bayou. Greta surprises the two by saying that now she does not; she wants to spend as much time with Father John as possible. Hope leaves and Bo is worried that they can't stay with Mrs. Horton. Greta says that's OK, she'll stay with the one person she feels comfortable with: Father John.

Greta has fond memories of Father John, saying that while her mom was always off with her jet setting crowd, Father John was there for her. Bo agrees that John is like that. Hope wonders if Greta can fill in the missing years of his past. Greta says that John never really talked about his past and agrees to go to talk to him some more.

10/23 Greta and Bo are munching on Mrs. H's famous donuts. Greta says that she can feel the love and safety of the Horton household. She recalls that the only other person who made her feel that way was Father John. On cue, John walks in and Greta rushes to hug her old friend. She can't get used to the fact that John has no memory of her when she has lots of memories of him. John is happy about this and asks Greta to fill him in on everything she remembers.

John surmises that Stefano erased John's past, erased Hope's four missing years and brainwashed her into portraying Greta's mother, the real Gina. Greta says that she can't even comprehend that kind of evil. Bo asks her if she remembers seeing Stefano in Europe; she says the first time she ever heard of him was in New Orleans. She does not remember Stef asking her about her mother. Bo goes on to say that Stefano must have known Gina very well to give Hope her memories. Greta comments that Hope looks like her mother.

But John wants to know how he knew the real Gina. Greta has no idea how Gina and John met. She also does not recall when she first met John. John was the one constant in her life, as her mother's other friends just came and went. Gina, according to Greta, needed to be the center of attention. Bo decides to let the two talk, and he leaves to try to find Wayne and Earl.

Bo is in Salem Place and gives Erlene a call. Using a phony New Orleans accent, he asks if either Wayne or Earl are there. Erlene says they went out of town and Bo asks if they went to New Orleans. When Erlene says no, she asks who it is, but Bo just says he'll call them later and hangs up. Bo surmises that the boys are in Salem when Abe walks up. They know the boys did not fly commercial and Bo figures they drove up, so he puts an APB out on their truck.

They walk to the Java Cafe and Abe wonders why the boys want her. Bo explains that Greta is their good luck charm. He vows to keep Greta safe, even if he has to move her. Abe offers his place and Bo tells him he may have to accept. Bo then asks about Stefano and Abe confirms that he is in town. Bo figures Stefano must not know about Greta or he would have made a move by now.

Bo then asks about Sami and if they found any more evidence. Abe says no, but Sami's actions are building the case against her: by giving Austin and Carrie guardianship of Will instead of Lucas, she appears to be a vindictive person who could commit a brutal murder. As Abe is leaving he tells Bo that at least one good thing has come out of this turmoil, that Bo and Hope appear to be reconciling. Bo says that he's working on it, and Abe leaves.

Billie saunters down the stairs of the Kiriakis mansion, upset that Greta has not left town; she fears Greta will tell Bo and Hope where Georgia is buried.

Billie is exasperated that Hope has come over, but Hope knows what Billie is up to and won't let her get away with it. Billie wonders what Hope is accusing her of. Hope says that Billie made up the story of Wayne and Earl (which Billie denies) to get Greta out of town. Billie agrees that she wants Greta out of Salem to protect her; Stefano won't find her in the Bayou.

Hope doesn't buy it; there is another reason why Billie wants Greta gone. The claws come out with the women; Billie says that Hope is selfishly searching for her past and Greta's safety be damned. Hope counters that Bo will protect Greta from Stefano and Hope will protect Greta from Billie. Billie can't believe Hope would harass her, and brings up the fact that because of Hope, she went into premature labor and lost her baby. Hope rolls her eyes and tells her to get over it. Hope tells Billie to stop living in the past and take some responsibility.

Hope figures that Billie wants Greta gone because the bond that the two developed pose a threat to Billie. Billie tells her that she is wrong, but Hope goes no to say that Bo won't go back to Billie and she admits that she knows that, but he won't go back to Hope either. Bo does not blame her for what happened to their baby. Billie tries to get to her by saying that's what Bo may say, but he doesn't mean it. Billie tries to get Hope to slip and tell her where Greta is, but Hope catches on and won't tell her.

Outside, Wayne and Earl deliver a large crate to the front door. Inside the crate is little Georgia's grave. As Billie continues to denigrate Hope, Henderson interrupts with news that a package has arrived for her. The crate has been moved to the foyer, where Billie assumes it is Countess Whilemina stuff. Henderson begins to open the crate, but Billie takes over and lifts the lid. She recognizes Georgia's coffin and looks at it in horror. She is stunned that it is here. She drops the lid and backs away saying "Oh my god, oh my god." She backs right into Hope's arms and jumps away. Hope looks at her and asks her what is wrong. 10/26 Stefano tells Rolf that they must proceed with the next phase of his plan, turning Hope back into Princess Gina.

Hope asks Billie what she is hiding in the crate. Billie becomes angry and tells Hope that it is a private matter. Billie, who is on the verge of tears, asks Henderson to remove the crate. Hope asks Billie what she is hiding and Billie screams that this is none of her business and because of her she's lost everyone she loves. Billie cries and screams at Hope to leave her alone, stop badgering her, and get the hell out of her house!

Hope leaves and Billie breaks down. Hope tells herself that she has to find out what is in that box. Billie calls Erlene and asks why she sent Georgia's casket to her. Erlene says that the baby was unearthed during the tornado and she believes that when a grave opens, it must be buried somewhere else. Therefore, she sent it to Salem. Billie says she doesn't understand and says that she lied about where her baby was buried and now it's come back to haunt her.

Erlene says she knows that and unless she confesses her lies they will destroy her, and Georgia can never rest in peace. When Erlene mentions that she sent Wayne and Earl to Salem, Billie realizes she did see them. However, Erlene is upset that her boys just left the casket on her door step. Billie and Erlene say goodbye and Henderson tells Billie he put the crate in the garage.

Roman tells Bo that they need to talk about Hope and Billie. Roman tells Bo that Hope is being too hard on Billie, but Bo says that Hope had a good reason because of Billie trying to break them up. Roman says that was Kate, not Billie. All Billie wanted was to love him and have his baby. Bo defends Hope, but Roman does the same for Billie. Bo asks Roman just how close he and Billie got in Europe and Roman tells Bo that he and Billie were working undercover with the ISA.

Bo is angry for letting Billie risk her life, but Roman says Billie set it up and left him no choice. Still, Bo asks Roman what his relationship with Billie is. Roman tells him that they are just good friends. Hope shows up and tells Bo and Roman that something weird is going on at Billie's and tells them about the crate. Bo tells Hope that he called Erlene about Wayne and Earl and knows they are in town.

Hope says she was wrong about that, but she's not about the crate. Roman decides to leave and check on Billie. Bo and Hope take a walk and go to the Horton house, unaware that they were followed by the bayou boys.

10/27 Bo and Hope return to the Horton House to find Greta, but she doesn't seem to be around. Bo and Hope start franticly searching and Hope finds a note from John that indicates they went for a drive. Meanwhile, Wayne and Earl are peaking in the window for Greta. Hope and Bo talk about Greta and how important John must have been to her because she's decided to stay in Salem because of him. They soon end up talking about Billie and how Hope feels that Billie wants Greta to leave Salem.

The soon change the topic to Billie and Roman and Hope says that in Europe, she had a hard time believing Billie and Roman were acting by the way they were pawing at each other. Bo becomes upset and Hope asks him if it bothers him. Bo says no, he just thinks it's strange that they are keeping it a secret.

Hope starts telling Bo how she and John ran into Roman and Billie while they were undercover and she learned from Roman that Lily was robbed of her art collection and one of the paintings was Garden at Twilight. Hope starts talking about how much fun she had with Lily and hopes she'll come to Salem soon. Bo tells Hope that she lights up every time she talks about being Princess Gina.

Hope says it's just very fascinating, especially now that there really was a Princess Gina. Hope tells Bo she is more determined than ever to find out about the real Gina and her missing years. Hope and Bo start talking about Gina, they both wonder why Gina was so important to Stefano. Bo says hopefully Greta will provide them with that answer. Hope thanks Bo for finding Greta and he says there is nothing he wouldn't do for her.

Wayne and Earl make too much noise outside and Bo goes to see what the noise is. Bo can't find anyone and Hope tells Bo that she's scared of what she might discover in the future. Bo tells her hugs her and says he'll be with her, they'll never be apart again.

11/2 Hope is grating some cheese for Bo's chili. They talk about Greta and how sad it is that John doesn't remember Greta. Bo tells Hope that he would like to get Greta's scars fixed, but Hope is more concerned for Greta's safety. Little do they know that Wayne and Earl are watching them from the bushes, but they don't see Swamp Girl.

Hope starts telling Bo about all the fancy food she ate in Europe with Lily. Bo chuckles that if he was with her he would have embarrassed her because he doesn't know which fork to use. As they are about to end up in a food fight, they hear something outside. However, Hope attributes it to Halloween pranksters.

Still, Bo can't help but wonder if it could be Wayne and Earl. Bo and Hope begin talking about Princess Gina again and Hope tells Bo that she wants to go back to Europe. Bo says he'd love to go with her, but they need to make sure Greta is safe first. Bo asks Hope if she minds if they wait awhile before returning to Europe and she doesn't. Bo is happy and says they will find out the information together. Bo mentions all Hope's personality changes when she was playing Gina. He hopes she won't revert to them when Lily comes to Salem for a visit and that she won't let Gina take over and prevent them from having a future together.

Hope tells Bo that her Gina habits won't take her over, but she's not sure if they can have a future together. Bo says they can reclaim the life they once had, even if they Billie can't let go of her anger. Bo says he wants to ask Billie for a divorce, but he didn't think she could handle this news right after Georgia's death. Hope says that Billie will never get over it and will play the victim till the day she dies. Bo tells Hope that if she can get past her guilt about Georgia's death, they can have a future together.

Billie places a call to Wayne and Earl and offers to tell them where Greta is if they perform a service for her.

11/3 Bo tells Hope to stop blaming herself for Georgia's death. Hope says she's trying, but Billie keeps reminding her that it is her fault Georgia is dead. Hope says that Billie still thinks if it wasn't for her, she'd have Georgia and him. Bo tells her that he's made it clear to Billie that he loves her (Hope). Bo tells her to forgive herself, but Hope says she can't because she saw the look on his face when he learned the baby was dead. Hope says she caused Billie to go into labor, but Bo says he is responsible as well because he didn't pay attention to Billie.

Bo says he can't imagine his life without her, and Hope feels the same. Bo asks Hope why are they apart then? Hope tells Bo that it's not just the baby that is standing in the way, it is the fact that he made love and a commitment to Billie. Bo admits he messed up and asks Hope if she'll ever forgive him. Hope tells him that she just doesn't know. Hope leaves and wonders why she can't forgive Bo, or herself.

Bo goes to the Kirkiais Mansion to see Billie, but Kate says Billie is out. Bo sees the lights in the garage and decides to check it out. Bo shouts Billie's name, which she hears. Billie panics.

11/4 Hope is in the Horton kitchen, recalling a raving mad Billie who screams that it is Hope's fault for killing little Georgia. Hope is saddened and distracted when Greta walks in. Greta wonders where Bo is? Hope shares that he has gone out for a while, probably to see Billie.

A frantic Billie hears Bo call her name from outside. Bo finds a spare key and, before he can unlock the door, Kate arrives. She wants to talk to him about Billie's mental state. She warns him that Billie has been moody and emotional because of him and the fact that he is still married to her. But while they are on the subject of unsolicited advice, he yells at her that Billie's current state is Kate's fault. He turns back to the garage door and opens it and calls Billie's name.

Dvd #36B Greta sees that is bothers Hope that Bo is still emotionally attached to Billie. Hope says that she knows Billie still loves him and they will always be connected. Greta surmises it is because of their lost child.

Hope tells her that it was she who caused Billie to lose the baby after their fight at Salem Place. Greta recalls Billie's plea to not let anyone know where she lost her baby. Greta looks at Hope and tells her not to blame herself, the baby's death had nothing to do with their fight. Hope is curious how Greta would know and she covers saying a verbal argument does not cause babies to die, there must have been something wrong with Billie's pregnancy.

Hope thinks it is sweet that Greta is trying to ease her conscience, but Hope says that she will always carry around this guilt. In fact, Hope tells Greta she thought Billie was trying to get her out of Salem and back to the bayou. She confesses that Billie was not lying about seeing Wayne and Earl and that she doubted Billie. Hope then looks at Greta and asks her if Billie did try to get her to leave. Greta says that she is just concerned about her safety. Hope says that Bo will always protect her.

Greta and Hope begin talking about Father John and Gina. Greta does not remember much about her mother, but recalls how safe she felt with Father John. They both want to know why Stefano turned Hope into Gina. Greta laments that she has no momentos of her mother. Hope perks up and says that she does. Hope brings out the handkerchief and the silver comb.

Hope tells her that there is a matching brush, and Greta happily says that she had it down at Maison Blanche. This leads Hope to the question of the compact. Hope tells her that she had it in the bayou when she lost it. In fact, when she and Bo were camping in the bayou, her backpack had been opened and the compact missing. Hope puts two and two together and realizes that Greta was the one who took it.

Bo sees that no one is there and turns back to Kate. He lays into Kate for hiring Franco to break him and Hope up. If she did not hire Franco, Bo and Hope would be together and none of this would be happening. Kate doesn't back down, saying she she loves her daughter and turns the conversation back to Bo's wrongdoings: getting her pregnant then not being by her side and then leaving her for months right after the loss of the child. It's Bo's fault for Billie's problems.

Inside the garage, Bo wonders where Billie is. Kate says that she was in a "bad way" and left. Kate then yells at him that he does not care anything about her daughter. Bo's own brother, Roman, cares more for her than he does. Bo can't believe that Kate is lecturing him, but tells her that he has not filed for divorce because he did not want to add to of all the other stuff Billie is going through. Kate keeps at him, and Bo turns to her and tells her that no one is blameless, even Billie.

Bo continues saying that Billie keeps tormenting Hope about the loss of their baby, and that's not good. That is why he is there now, to help her get past it. Bo still wonders where Billie may have gone, when Kate tells him that she is probably at Georgia's grave. Bo sees the empty crate and wonders what is in it. Kate's explanation that it is a Countess Whillamena shipment does not make sense to Bo, so he decides to look at the cemetary.

Carrying baby Georgia's coffin, Wayne, Earl and Billie have arrived at the graveyard and stop at Georgia's grave site. Billie is anxious for them to bury her daughter. A noise startles the group and it is a bunch of teenagers in halloween masks who are spray painting the headstone and vandalizing the graves. This angers the boys and they scare off the kids.

When they come back, Billie wants them to get started. Wayne and Earl are suspicious, and want to know where Swamp Girl is. Billie tells them once they are finished, she will tell them. They threaten to walk out unless she tells them now. Since Billie does not know, but knows that Hope does, she calls Hope.

Hope, who is trying to make amends for all the times she unfairly accused Billie, divulges that Greta is with her at the Horton house. After they re-bury Georgia, Billie tells the boys where Greta is. Billie decides to stay and begins talking to Georgia. She prays that she is finally at peace. Crying, she tells her that her mommy and daddy will always love her. Billie is holding the compact and when she turns around, she sees Bo at Georgia's grave. He wonders what is going on.

11/5 At Georgia's grave, Bo is wondering why there is fresh dirt on the gravesite. Billie lies and says that vandals were desecrating the cemetery and shows him other headstones that had been spray-painted. Bo believes the story but wonders why she is there. She says that she got a call from the groundskeeper about the vandals and came out to make sure Georgia's site was not disturbed. She was able to scare the kids off.

Bo still wonders why she is still there? She says that she wanted to talk to her daughter, that she feels that her baby is in her heart when she is there. Bo tries to comfort Billie, saying that she will always be in his heart, when Billie breaks down and cries. She wonders why Georgia had to die and she drops to the ground. Bo puts his arms around her and holds her, saying that she did not realize she was in so much pain.

Billie takes this as a sign that she can guilt Bo, and continues on. Bo says that they should come here more often to pray for their daughter, and Billie says that she would love that. She asks if Bo ever thinks about her, and Bo says he does. He says he wonders what it would be like to hold her. Billie says she thinks about the three of them as a family, pushing a stroller as they walk and people saying what a beautiful baby she is.

Billie starts crying again saying she really wanted to give Bo a daughter. Billie says that she needed to go there to tell Georgia how much she loves her. She then asks if Bo would like to talk to his daughter and he agrees. He wishes he could have had the opportunity to meet her, but that eventually they will meet in heaven. Until then, he will hold her in his heart, and her mother will too. He finishes by saying that he loves her and turns to Billie to take her home. Billie protests saying that she really needs to stay there.

He leaves, but not before giving her a kiss on the cheek. As he walks away, Billie puts a hand to her cheek and caresses it. She says that she has not felt this close to Bo in ages and that he still cares for her, but that Hope is in the way. If only Greta would leave Salem, everything would be perfect. Since Wayne and Earl are taking care of Greta, her secret will be safe.

Outside, Wayne and Earl and peering into a the window of the Horton kitchen. They see Hope and Greta talking. Hope asks her about the compact. Hope realizes that Great is the one that took it in the bayou, but she does not get angry. Greta has a memory of Hope, sporting the red highlights, looking at herself in the compact.

Back to reality, Greta tells her that Hope used to bring it with her to Maison Blanche. Hope is intrigued, and tells her that Celeste told her that it belonged to Gina. This prompts Hope to ask Greta if she recalls her mother ever carrying the compact around. Greta says she is not sure and wonders why Hope is so curious about it. Hope believes that it may trigger more memories of her life as Gina. Hope asks her if she brought the compact with her to Salem.

Before she could answer, the lights go out in the house. Hope assumes it is a blown circuit from the storm and goes to investigate. Greta is alone in the kitchen and Hope is at the breaker box. She opens the box and sees that the wires have been cut. Crying out Greta's name, she rushes back into the kitchen. Inside, Greta is screaming and fighting off Wayne and Earl, who are holding her and trying to kidnap her.

Hope arrives and starts fighting with Earl as Wayne still has Greta. Hope and Earl hear a crash and they look up to see Alice, holding a lamp that she has just bashed over the head of Wayne. Mrs. H. tells them to get out of her house and the two scamper out, but not before Hope kicks Earl in the butt on the way out. Hope turns to her Gran to make sure she is okay and does the same to Greta. Seeing that both women are okay, Hope takes off after the two. She runs out in time to hear the car take off.

Back inside, the three are sitting around the kitchen table in the dark. Bo arrives and wonders what has happened. When Hope fills him in, he wonders how the boys could have known that Greta was there, only they and John knew. Hope recalls her phone call with Billie and realizes that she is the one who told the boys where Greta was.

Without telling Bo of her suspicions, she quickly gets up and asks where Billie is. Learning she is at Georgia's grave, she takes off, quite upset saying that she has to take care of Billie once and for all. Bo assures Greta that she is safe and he will always protect her.

At the cemetery, Wayne and Earl show up and meet Billie. They tell her that they almost had her, but Hope came in and broke it up and some old lady conked Wayne on the head. Billie can't believe what she is hearing, and neither can Hope, who is hiding behind some trees.

11/6 Bo hangs up with Abe and tells Greta that she is going to have police protection and that an APB was issued for Wayne and Earl for attempted kidnapping. Greta is just thankful that Hope and Mrs. Horton were there to rescue her from the boys. Bo, laughing, says he wished he could have seen Mrs. H. whack Wayne over the head with the lamp. Greta asks where he was? He tells her that he went to see Billie about ending their marriage.

Greta surmises that it must have been hard for Billie to take, and Bo informs her that he never broached the subject; when he found Billie, she was at their daughter's site. Greta remembers when Billie asked her to promise not to tell Bo about Georgia's death. Bo brings her back to reality and asks what she was thinking about. Greta looks at him and tells him she was thinking about Billie and the baby.

Greta continues saying that Billie is a strong person. Bo agrees, but confides that he put her through hell this past year. He tells Greta that when he and Billie came back from Europe, he promised Billie that he would be with her. But no matter how hard he tried to keep that promise, he could not stop loving Hope.

Greta says because Hope is the love of his life, and he agrees. But, he starts beating himself up saying that it does not forgive what he did to Billie. He continues saying that when he saw her in the graveyard tonight, it was the first time they had a chance to grieve. He knows that Billie is hurting and that's why he could not bring up the divorce; it would be too devastating.

Greta, who is hearing the guilt and anguish in Bo's voice when he talks about Georgia, wants to tell him the truth. Bo is upset that he was not with Billie when she gave birth at the country doctor's place outside of Salem. He's sad that he never got a chance to hold his little girl. Greta looks at him and tells him that it was not his fault.

When he asks why she says that, she covers saying that things happen that are out of his control. But Bo continues to feel guilty, and Greta cannot stand it anymore. With her voice wavering, she tells Bo that she is sorry that she has not been completely honest with him, but she will tell him everything that she knows. She proceeds to tell him that Billie lost the baby in the bayou and that the gravesite that they came upon was his daughter's grave.

Hope can't believe what she is hearing. Billie is talking to the boys and learns that they did not get Greta, that Hope and some old lady beat them up and they had to run away. Billie is furious that Greta is not gone. She tells them that she went through a lot of trouble to keep her secret about Georgia from Bo and can't risk having it exposed by Greta. Hope is curious what that statement meant.

Billie continues to tell the boys that she lost the baby in the bayou and that she is thankful that they helped her to bury her here. Hope is stunned to learn this. The boys want to leave to try to find Greta again. Billie tells them that Bo probably has moved her and has police protection and that she can't help them anymore. They leave and Billie turns to talk to her daughter.

Hope walks up behind Billie, but does not let her presence be known. Billie says that tonight was the closest she and Bo have been in a long time and that she is certain Bo still loves her. If it were not for Hope, they would be together. Hope can't contain her anger, and tells Billie like hell they would.

Billie turns around, stunned to see Hope. She wonders how long Hope has been there? Hope tells her she knows the whole story. Hope goes on to say that Billie's lies have put everyone through hell. Billie continues to stick to her story that Hope is the reason she lost her baby and Hope says she can't wait to hear how this plays out.

Billie continues, saying that she went to New Orleans to tell Bo the good news about the amnio. But when she got there, he was helping Hope and the stress of the situation made her go into premature labor. So even if Bo learns the truth about how Georgia died, he will never take Hope back because she caused it. Hope yells back that that is the difference between them. Hope does not want to base a relationship on other people's pain.

Hope turns to leave, and thinks better of it. She looks at Billie and tells her that this is something she's been wanting to do for a long time. Hope hauls off and gives Billie a right hook across the face. Hope then says that she is going to tell Bo exactly what has happened and she will never have Bo again. As Hope storms off, Billie starts crying and sinks to the ground saying that she's lost her baby and she's lost Bo.

11/9 Stefano talks with Rolf about John and Hope's memories, which are on a couple of CDs. Stefano tells Rolf that he needs to turn Hope back into Gina to achieve his ultimate goal, the complete destruction of the Brady family.

Hope shows up and confirms Greta's story. Hope tells Bo that Billie lied to them to keep them apart. Bo refuses to believe it, but Greta tells him she saw them bury the baby in the bayou. She tells them that she wanted to tell him, but Billie convinced her not to. Bo doesn't understand because he buried Georgia in Salem, but Hope tells him that they buried an empty casket, but tonight she buried the real Georgia. Hope also tells him that Billie was the one who told Wayne and Earl where Greta was.

Greta apologizes to them, but Hope tells her it's not her fault. Greta decides to go out for some air and Bo apologizes to Hope. Bo doesn't understand how she could use their child's death to scheme to win his love. Hope says that is exactly why she did it, plus she knew it would keep them apart. Bo tells Hope that it has done just that. Bo asks Hope now that she knows the truth, can she love him again?

Hope tells Bo she doesn't know because so much has happened. Bo says that he knows there is more to deal with than Billie, like his horrible mistakes. He tells Hope that it will take time, but can they begin again? Hope tells Bo that she needs a little time. Bo tells her that is fine, but he will have her as his wife again and nothing will keep them apart this time. Hope hugs Bo and smiles.

11/10 Bo has made everyone pancakes. Shawn D is happy that his family is having breakfast together again. Shawn D mentions that he likes Greta and he owes her a lot for bringing his family together. Shawn D has to go to school and Bo and Hope talk about Greta. Bo says that until she confronts Stefano, she'll remain a prisoner of the past.

Hope and Bo talk about Wayne and Earl and how they are lucky Billie didn't tell Stefano, Greta walks in and says if Stefano knew she was here he would kill her. Bo says he thinks it would be best that she confronts Stefano because this way he can't hurt her because he'd be the prime suspect.

Greta refuses and says that he promised her that she wouldn't have to do this, he lied to her! Bo says he won't make her do anything she wants to do, but he thinks this is best. Greta refuses and says she wants to go back to the bayou where she is safe with Erlene, Wayne, and Earl. Bo says that the only way any of them will heal is if they confront Stefano.

Meanwhile, Stefano realizes John has already met Greta. Stefano thinks this is good because when John begins to search for his past, he'll be able to get his revenge against the Brady family.

11/11 Greta still refuses to confront Stefano and says she wants to go back to the bayou. Bo asks why, what is she afraid of, is she not telling them something? Greta recalls being alone and bandaged with Stefano. He told her that her mother and Father John were gone, so she must trust him and never reveal their secrets.

Greta snaps back to reality and tells Hope and Bo that she's told them everything. Bo begs Greta to trust him, but she says she can't and runs off. Hope suggests that Bo go after Greta. Bo tells Hope that they haven't really had a chance to resolve things between them. Hope says that they should focus on Greta.

Hope runs into John and Marlena in Salem Place and tells them that Greta has decided to go back to the bayou. Marlena wonders if Stefano got to her? Hope says that isn't possible because Stefano doesn't even know she's alive. Marlena tells Hope not to be so sure of that. Hope is positive that Greta is being nothing but honest. Still, Marlena says she feels they should question anyone who is involved with Stefano. Hope looks at John and asks what if she's right, what if they have been taken in by Greta?

As Greta is about to leave, Bo shows up at the door. He apologizes to her and tells her that he and Hope will protect her, she has his word. Bo leaves to make something for Greta to eat and she says nobody can protect her. Billie shows up at the Horton house to apologize to Bo. Bo tells her that she put Hope through hell and she betrayed Greta. He tells her that he can't forgive her for what he did to both him and Hope, as well as Greta.

Greta goes to Green Mountain and recalls coming up here with John. She is sad and says that she'll miss him, as well as Bo. She then recalls dancing with Bo in the catacombs under Maison Blanche. When she turns around she screams because Stefano is standing there. He quickly puts his hand over her mouth and grabs her.

11/12 At Salem Place, Hope, John and Marlena are still talking about Greta and her possible connection to Stefano. Hope and John are sure that Greta is extremely afraid of Stefano, but Marlena has doubts. She thinks that there is more then the obvious connection between the two and to be careful. She goes on to says perhaps Greta is not afraid of Stefano but of what he could reveal. John chooses to believe that Greta is on their side. He feels this bond between them.

Hope goes on to say that John was also close to the real Princess Gina. Marlena points out that Gina could have been working for Stefano. Whatever the relationship, John says, Stefano has been covering up stuff for years and he has major secrets that he does not want revealed. John and Hope agree that Greta can help them find their memories. Marlena is concerned saying she wishes they would just give up this dangerous mission of searching for their past. John and Hope can't. They decide to go find Greta to talk to her.

Bo's first question to Billie is how she could do something like that, use the loss of their baby as a lie. Billie tries to explain that she was afraid he would hate her, and after losing her baby she did not want to lose him too. Bo has no sympathy for her at all. He then asks how she could blame Hope, and Billie starts to explain again when Bo cuts her off and tells her that she will never get between them again.

Billie can't really explain herself except to say that she needed Bo. Bo is getting angry, asking questions like why she faked the death, why didn't she tell him so that they could grieve together. Finally, he yells, "How can you get so deceitful?" But the last straw for Billie is when Bo wonders how she could put Hope through all the pain and guilt. Billie is furious that Bo would mention her name, much less bring her into this. She shouts back to him that all he ever cared about was Hope. He doesn't care about their baby or anyone else.

Bo just shakes his head and says he cared about their baby. But, she has to face up to her lies. Billie says that she lied, but it was the only way she could make him see that Hope is not a saint. She says Hope was so vicious to her at Salem Place that day, that she really did want her to lose their baby. That's why Hope has always felt guilty. Billie continues to say that Hope is responsible for the loss of their baby. Bo just looks at her and shakes his head.

Bo tells her to give it up. Hope wasn't to blame. Billie disagrees saying Hope killed their love and now she's making Bo forget everything they once shared. Bo tells her that Hope had nothing to do with that. If she wants someone to blame, blame him because he was not there for her. Billie again says that's because of Hope. Billie changes tactics saying that maybe Hope will run off and becomes Princess Gina again.

Seeing she has struck a nerve, she continues saying that she saw Hope transform into Princess Gina and loves it. Partying with her society friends, playing Baccarat, Hope didn't care about Bo when she was gallivanting in Europe. Bo tells her it was not true. Billie keeps going saying Princess Gina would never go for Bo's type. Bo tells her to give it up. Hope is Hope, no matter who she is pretending to be. But Billie says she is not pretending, she is reliving a life she once led and enjoyed. Bo tells her to stop changing the subject.

As they continue to argue, Marlena, John and Hope enter the Horton kitchen. All three are not happy to see Billie there. They want to see Greta and Bo goes to her room to look for her. Hope lays into Billie saying they almost lost Greta because of her schemes. Billie defends her actions, when Bo comes in a announces that Greta is gone.

The five are frantic and Billie swears she has nothing to do with this. But, she has an idea who may know. She whips out her address book and says that she has Wayne and Earl's cell phone number. Hope is upset at hearing this, but Billie goes and calls the boys. They are in a car, headed back to New Orleans.

They tell Billie that they were to meet Greta at Green Mountain, but she was not there. To make matters worse, they think Stefano may have found her. Billie says Stefano's name out loud and the group is worried now. Billie continues her conversation and when she hangs up, tells the group what she learned from the boys. They take off after Greta, and Billie is forced to stay behind after Hope tells her that she is not welcome.

Up at Green Mountain, Stefano has his hand over Greta's mouth. She is visibly frightened. He tries to calm her down and says that he will remove his hands if Greta promises not to scream. She nods her assent and Stefano removes his hands. Greta looks at him with fear in her eyes and Stefano calls her his dear Greta. She wants to know what he wants with her. Stefano answers by saying that now that he has found her again, he has big plans for her.

Greta runs to the edge of the cliff and Stefano follows her. He is trying to get her to trust him, but she does not believe him. She is stepping backwards, closer to the edge. Stefano is trying to calm her down. He tells her when he found her in New Orleans, she was in pain from the surgeries and on medication and not thinking clearly and he helped her. It was only when she thought she had to go through more pain, she ran away. He tells her that all he wants to do is help her. She steps back and slips, falling down the side.

Greta is hanging onto the side, and Stefano is on the ground with his arms outstretched. He keeps trying to convince Greta that he wants to save her life and will not hurt her. Greta recalls when Stefano was talking to her after her surgeries and she was bandaged; he was concerned for her and just wanted her to get well. After a few slips, she decides to grab onto his arm.

He pulls her up to safety and when they get up, she hugs him saying that he saved her life. It is at this moment that Hope, Bo, John and Marlena see the two. Marlena looks to John and asks if he is sure he can trust Greta. Bo and Hope just look on in amazement.

11/13 Up at Green Mountain, Stefano and Greta are hugging Each other, and Stefano is trying to calm her down. Unknown to them, Hope, John, Bo and Marlena are watching and listening to the entire conversation. They can't believe what they are seeing. Stefano tells Greta that he is very glad she is safe and that she trusts him once again.

He breaks contact and asks her how it has been for her readjusting to the real world. Greta says that Bo had been very helpful, making her feel safe. This prompts Stefano to find out just what Greta has told Bo. She says that she did not tell him that much about her past with Stefano. Marlena hears this and looks at John with an "I told you so" look.

Greta continues, saying she told him about the cage and Ernesto, her childhood and her friendship with Father John and that Princess Gina was her mother. Stefano wonders why Greta would mention her mother, and she replies that Bo and Hope were so desperate to know. She tells him that is all that she revealed. Stefano says that they are together now and he can take care of her like he did in the past. Bo walks into the clearing where Stefano and Greta are, and she looks at him with a guilty look.

Next, comes Hope, and Stefano just sighs. Then John and Marlena appear. Trying to ignore Stefano, Bo asks why Greta is here. She explains that she wanted to leave for the bayou and if she told them, they would try to get her to stay. Hope asks why she would want to leave, and Greta says the bayou is her home.

Bo wonders why she would want to leave now and Marlena pipes up that perhaps Greta thought her work here was done. Greta looks at Marlena with a confused look on her face and realizes what Marlena meant. She turns to Bo and tells him that he's got it all wrong, she's not working for Stefano, but the looks on their faces say otherwise.

Bo wants to know how long she's been working for Stefano, and Greta plaintively tells him that it's not true. Seeing they do not believe her, she just stops talking. Stefano puts an arm around her protectively and tells the foursome to stop badgering her; she's telling the truth. Stefano asks Greta to tell them that they are old friends and that he has done nothing but try to help her. Knowing that Stefano saved her life, Greta is forced to agree, and Bo looks at her with a hurt look in his eyes.

John and Bo can't believe it. Bo says that when they were hiding out in the bayou, Greta constantly said she was in fear of Stefano. Greta looks at him and says that's not what she meant and she's sorry if Bo got the wrong idea. They want to know then why Greta ran away from Maison Blanche. Greta says that it was the pain. The doctors wanted to perform more painful surgeries, and she could not take it anymore.

Stefano wants to take Greta away, but John won't let him. John wants explanations about the explosion in the cage, Ernesto Toscano, Hope's supposed surgeries. He was involved with all that. Stefano won't admit to being in on the plot with Ernesto and lies and says that Greta and Hope were under his care.

Hope begins to refute what he is saying, but he continues his lies, saying that Hope had amnesia and was at Maison Blanch the same time Greta was there. Additionally, Greta called Hope Gina due to a striking resemblance to her late mother, but this was probably due to all the painkillers Greta was on.

Stefano says that he was all ready to take her back to Salem, but she vanished and probably thought her name was Gina. Hope tells him that's not true, they traveled together in Europe and Lili Faversham knew them. Stefano just laughs and says that Lili is not a credible witness, she suffers from flights of fancy. Stefano says that he was never in Europe with Hope and has no idea what she was doing there. He continues saying Hope was at Maison Blanche, suffering from amnesia, when she disappeared, so perhaps she thought she was Gina.

When Stefano finally found her, he had no idea what she had done, but apparently she had a good time. Bo and Hope are furious, but Stefano won't back down from his story. In fact, they should stop focusing on the past and look to the future. He turns to leave with Greta, but Bo stops them and says that he's not taking her anywhere.

Stefano swears he's only had Greta's best interest at heart, and wants to finish what he started, to fix Greta's face. Bo won't let that happen. John pipes up and says that he has a question, just what was his relationship with the real Princess Gina. Stefano claims not to know and says that John was a priest, if he was traveling in Europe.

John questions the use of the word IF. Stefano is about to lie again, when he sighs and says he is tired. Turning to Greta, he tells her to go with Bo, as a grand gesture. Bo holds out his hand to Greta and she goes to him. She turns to look at Stefano before she leaves and mouthes "Thank You." Stefano, alone now, says that he will have to turn Hope back into Gina as soon as possible.

11/16 Stefano goes home and talks to Rolf, who is working on the satellite. Stefano is upset that Greta didn't come back with him. He tells Rolf that he promised Princess Gina that he would watch over Greta, and he intends to do that. Stefano fears Hope may try to return to Count Olenska's, which is why he has to turn her back into Princess Gina ASAP. Rolf says they have to wait for the next lunar eclipse, which will be in a few weeks. Rolf tells him that as long as John and Hope have the chips in their brains, their pasts are gone for ever and they can't regain their memories unless he replants them.

Greta tells Hope that she understands why Bo doesn't trust her, but she swears to Hope she's not working for Stefano. Hope says it is hard to get past what they saw. John tells Marlena that he doesn't believe Greta is working for Stefano. Marlena is skeptical and thinks perhaps Greta and Marlena were long lost friends. Marlena says that whatever he finds about his past could hurt them.

Bo tells his mom and dad about what happened between Greta and Stefano on the mountain. He hates to think she is working for Stefano, but can't ignore the possibility. He tells them that he really wants to believe Greta, but doesn't want to risk being hurt by Stefano. Greta explains to John, Marlena, Bo, and Hope what really happened on the mountain.

She tells them that she was grateful to Stefano for saving her, but she'd rather be dead than see the doubt in Bo's eyes, and then she runs off. Bo thinks he should go after her, but Marlena says that maybe it's for the best she leave. Hope tells Bo that he should go after Greta because he promised to protect her. Bo says his first priority is to protect Hope but can't ignore the what he saw. Marlena is positive that Greta is a danger to both Bo and Hope and it would be best if she leave Salem. Both, John and Hope disagree because she is too important. Bo tells them that he can't shake the feeling that they are walking into one of Stefano's traps.

Greta goes back downstairs and hears everyone talking about why Stefano saved her life. Greta screams that she doesn't know why he did it, but she's grateful he did. Hope asks Greta not to leave and Bo asks her to stay because she is a victim as well. John asks her to stay and help them and she decides to stay. Greta thanks them and says that she's been alone most of her life and she ran away to the bayou to avoid the operations on her face alone.

Caroline takes Marlena aside and tells her that she doesn't look very happy. Marlena says she's not because she fears that Bo, Hope, and John are making a terrible mistake. Shawn breaks out the apple cider and they all propose to their futures, and to Greta.

11/18 Bo and Hope take Greta back to Alice's house. Greta thanks them for letting her stay here. She tells them that she feels Marlena doesn't trust her and Bo and Hope explain how much Stefano has hurt her and the ones she loves. Greta thanks them and she says she won't let them down. She decides that they need some time alone, so she'll take a walk.

After she leaves, Bo tells Hope that he wants to prove to her that there is nothing keeping them apart now. Hope still is hurt by his betrayal with Billie. Bo tells Hope that he will never doubt her love again and will prove that she can trust in his love.

John gives Bo a call and invites him and Hope to join them. Bo says they will and tells Hope that this can be their first date. Hope goes upstairs to change and Greta returns. Greta hopes Bo has a wonderful evening with Hope tonight. Bo gets dressed up and asks Greta what she is going to do. Greta says she's going to get out and see Salem now that she doesn't have to hide from Stefano.

Hope comes downstairs and Bo tells Hope she looks like a princess. Bo asks where she got her dress and Hope tells him that Ms. Faversham gave it to her. Greta becomes teary-eyed and says she looks so much like her mother. Hope says that when she wears these gowns she feels like a real princess.

Bo and Hope meet up with John and Marlena and John tells them that it was Greta's idea that they join them. Hope hears the waltz that reminds her of Princess Gina and she tells them all that for a moment, she felt like Princess Gina again. Hope tells Bo she is hearing the waltz again and doesn't understand why.

Hope mentions that Stefano warned her not to go searching for her past and Marlena says maybe she should have listened. John says that they will beat Stefano and they all toast to their future. Bo and Hope dance and Stefano tells himself that Hope won't be Hope for much longer. Bo tells Hope that dancing with her feels so right and he's dreamed of this for a long time.

11/19 Bo and Hope are on the dance floor as she has a flashback of when she was Princess Gina and is running in a dark alley. Back to reality, she looks up at Bo with fear in her eyes.

*11/24 At the pub, Bo is all giddy and tells his Ma and Pop that he knows he and Hope will be together again. Bo tells them that he will make this a terrific Christmas for Hope and Shawn D. Bo says that he's going to make everything up to Hope by helping her find the secrets of her past. Shawn and Caroline don't like that idea and fear that he could end up with his heart broken like Roman. Bo helps his Ma and Pop clean up the pub and says he has to leave to talk with Abe, and then to give Hope a surprise. Caroline tells Bo that she and Alice have decided to have a Horton-Brady Thanksgiving.

Bo goes to the station to see Abe. Abe hopes he was coming to return to work, but Bo says he needs a little more time to help Hope find what happened to her. He tells Abe that he thinks Hope may be the key to nailing Stefano, which Abe says he would love.

At Alice's place, Hope talks with Shawn D. He asks how her date with Dad was and she says it was great. Shawn D. says it would be cool if Dad could move back in for good. Hope knows how much he wants that. She then looks at a handkerchief and begins hearing the mystery waltz. Shawn D. asks his mom what is wrong and she says nothing.

Shawn D. tells her that she's been acting strange ever since returning from Europe. Hope says that is because she's just been searching for the missing years of her life. Shawn D. tells his Mom that he knows she loves Dad and wishes they could be a family for Christmas. Hope tells him that would be the best Christmas ever.

Later, Alice tells Hope and Shawn D. about her and Caroline's plans to have a Horton-Brady Thanksgiving. Shawn D. has to leave and Alice asks Hope what is going on in her head? Hope tells her Gran about the waltz she's been hearing again how is keeps making her feel like Gina. Hope tells Alice that last night, she had a memory of being Gina and running from danger.

Alice asks if this has happened before? Hope says she had some in Europe, but they were never ones about danger. Alice says maybe Greta's fears have just influenced her. Still, Hope has questions and says that her birthmark still hasn't been explained. Alice fears that this search will take her away from her family again, but Hope promises not to let that happen.

Mike says bye to Hope on the way out. Hope asks Alice why Mike was here? Alice tells her that he had a business problem. Hope tells Alice that she wants to do something special for Bo, she has a big surprise for him. Hope leaves and runs into Bo in the yard. They both have a surprise for one another.

11/25 Bo and Hope run into each other in Alice's yard and both have a surprise for the other. Bo tells her that he wants them to have a Brady-Horton Thanksgiving and Hope is thrilled about the idea as well. Hope says it will be nice to have a family holiday together. Bo tells her that he thanks God for bringing them back together again. Bo says he has something to tell her, but not here. He asks her to follow him.

Bo takes her to the playground where they fell in love. Bo and Hope swing and remember how they swung here with kids. Bo tells her that she's always wearing fancy cloths and a fancy face. Hope tells him that he's saying she's pretty, but Bo says that's not what he's saying at all. Bo and Hope almost kiss, but end up hugging instead. Hope tells Bo that she found something in Alice's attic, a scribble note she wrote in 6th grade which says "Hope Williams and Bo Brady Forever."

Hope asks what her surprise is? Bo makes her close her eyes and reminds her of a day long when he gave her his St. Christopher Medal as a sign that they were going steady, but some kid grabbed it and ran off. Hope tells Bo she was sorry that she didn't get to wear the medal. Bo pulls out the medal and asks Hope to go steady with him. Hope accepts and Bo puts the medal around her neck. They walk off hand in hand.

12/1 Stefano calls Rolf and tells him he's ready to start working on the satellite, but as he does, Hope may have memory flashes of being Gina.

Greta is looking at the Horton family photo album when Hope walks into the room. Hope senses something is bothering Greta and she asks what is wrong. Greta says that she feels like her and Bo don't trust her after seeing her with Stefano. Hope says that they were shocked because she had told them that she was afraid of Stefano. Greta says the reason she was afraid is because of the pain her surgeries caused her.

Hope tells Greta that there are many pain free surgery techniques nowadays, but Greta refuses to have any more surgery. She says she'd rather look like a freak. Hope tells her that she's a very beautiful woman, but Greta asks why everyone turns away from her? Greta tells Hope that she is a freak will never fit in. Hope tells her that she is not a freak, but Greta tells Hope about how some kids at Salem Place where making fun of her.

Greta says that Billie saved her, but she can't get over the betrayal. They begin to talk about Billie and what is keeping Bo and Hope apart now, when Hope begins to hear the waltz. Greta asks Hope if she's okay. Hope snaps to and tells Greta about the waltz she keeps hearing. She asks Greta if Gina liked classical music and Greta says she loved it and used to play the piano. Hope says she wishes she could remember her time as Gina.

Greta recalls being bandaged and seeing Hope at Maison Blanche and thinking she was her mom. Hope wonders what the real Princess Gina's connection was to Stefano. Greta says that the only person she knows that was friends with her mom was Father John. Hope tells Greta that she believes her mother and Stefano were up to something secret and he had to use her (Hope) to finish whatever he and the real Gina started. Greta becomes upset and says she doesn't want to talk about her mom anymore.

Greta tells Hope that she rarely got to see her mom, but used to dream about spending time with her mom when she grew up, but then her mom died. Hope tells Greta that her mom died saving her from getting hit by a car. Hope says that she doesn't even remember her mother at all. Greta tells Hope that being with her almost makes her feel like her dream of spending time with her mom can come true.

Greta tells Hope that she feels closer to her now that she knows she lost her mom too. Greta tells Hope that she remembers some things about her mom and tells her about her 10th birthday and how her mom played a special song for her and her friends. Greta remembers watching her mom play the piano and suddenly, Hope gets up and walks over to the piano and starts playing the exact same song!

12/2 Rolf tells Stefano that Hope may be Gina sooner than he thinks. Rolf explains that Hope may be having actual Gina memories, not just flashes now. Rolf goes on about the satellite and the computer on the same frequency and that Hope may have memories of being Gina. Stefano figures they can use this for their own benefit. Maybe Hope will blame Greta for her memory flashes and not trust her.

Hope continues to play “Que Sera Sera” on the piano. Bo has returned home and he and Greta watch open mouthed as Hope plays. Greta wants to know how she knew to play THAT song and Bo wants to know how she knew how to play the piano? Questions that Hope can't answer. She just sat down and started to play. She can't paint, play the piano or play baccarat either. Greta said when Hope was playing the piano, it was almost like her mother.

Hope wonders why Gina's memory is coming back and Bo figures it's because Greta mentioned her mother. Greta comments Hope shares a lot of her mother's mannerisms, like the way she flicks her hair back when she laughs. Greta is asked about what she remembers about her mother and she said she loved her, but was always being sent away to boarding school, which was normal there.

Bo & Hope plead Greta to keep talking and remembering. We go back to the past and see Gina telling Greta of course she'll see her again and promises her horseback riding and picnics. John pats Greta's back and said to think of the new school as an adventure. Gina promises to see Greta as often as she can, but Greta said she didn't see her very often after that and asks to change the subject.

Hope comforts Greta. Bo asks Greta the name of the school in New Orleans she went to and Hope tells Bo. She figures Greta had told her the name of the school, but Greta tells her she hadn't and she knew it on her own. Greta tells Bo & Hope she wants to help Hope and Father John find the answers to their past. Bo tells her that it's important to keep her distance from Stefano.

Greta again tells Bo if Bo can't trust her, she doesn't know what she'll do and runs off. He apologizes for upsetting her and she asks him if he trusts her. He admits seeing her in Stefano's arms concerned him. She reiterates she really wants to help him and he said ok. John calls and asks to speak with Greta. Bo hands the phone to Greta and gives her privacy. John tells Greta he's sorry for not seeing her more, but Stefano's been giving him a hard time.

Bo returns to Hope and standing behind her, holds her and confirms she's not going to lose him again. Bo promises to protect Hope and Stefano will never tear them apart.

12/7 Bo and Shawn-D are having breakfast at the Java Café. Shawn-D wants to know if his parents will reunite. Bo tells him he wants that more than anything. He then asks about the Princess Gina thing and tells his dad that he wants her to drop it, that it could be too dangerous with Stefano involved. Bo tells him not to worry about it. Bo changes the subject to Christmas and tells him that he has a surprise for Hope.

Hope is trying to play the song 'Que Sera Sera' again but isn't having much luck. Alice is shocked as Hope explains about the Gina transformations. Alice gives her some sage advice, quit worrying about Gina and concentrate on HOPE. They talk about Bo and Hope tells her that she loves him with all her heart and Alice asks what is keeping them apart. She says that they need to marry as soon as possible. Hope tries to explain that she is worried something will tear them apart again. Her instincts are telling her to be careful.

Alice tells her that she and Bo have always loved each other and that she knows they are soul mates and that is all that matters. Hope thanks her for helping and taking in Greta and that maybe she can solve the mystery of her past and move on with Bo. Alice tells her that she and Bo can solve the mystery together as they did in the past. Hope reminds her that she was a big part of helping as well and they share a smile.

Later, Hope is seen banging on the piano again trying to play the song. She goes to the phone and calls Lili Faversham. Lili is excited to hear her voice, but tells her that she hasn't been doing well and is terribly depressed since she left. They catch up a bit and Hope tells her that she has proof now that she isn't Princess Gina. Lili tells her that she will ALWAYS be her Princess Gina. Hope says she will explain when she sees her, as she and Bo may be coming to Lugano after the first of the year.

Lili invites her to Lugano for Christmas, but Hope declines, saying she wants to spend time with her family. Instead, Hope invites her to Salem and Lilli says she will think about it. After they end the call, she summons Lucille to make travel arrangements to Salem. She says it will be the best medicine for her. Lucille is none to thrilled about it.

12/11 Stefano asks how things are going with Gina? Rolf tells him at the next lunar eclipse, Hope will cease to exist. Stefano says that his plan for the future depends on Gina because she will help him get his art treasures back and accumulate more if needed. Rolf tells him that there is nothing to fear, it is all scientific and will work out perfectly.

Lucille leaves and Lili asks Hope how things are going. Hope says things have been good and not so good, but the future looks better than ever. Hope tells Lili that she thinks she and Bo will get back together, which bothers Lili. Lili says Bo has hurt her so much, but Hope says everything is better now and that she and Bo are soulmates. Lili asks Hope if she's learned anything else about Stefano, but Hope says she hasn't. However, she says she has Bo and John to help her.

Lili tells Hope that she'll always think of her as Gina and still believes she could have just been programmed to be Hope. Hope says that's not possible, so Lili asks how she explains the birthmark? Hope says that she can't, but Stefano might have given it to her to convince people she was Gina, because the real Gina died. This upsets Lili. Hope tells Lili that the real Gina died shortly before he made Hope into Gina to continue his agenda.

Shawn D. and Bo go to Salem Place and Shawn D. meets up with an old friend of his, who has been away at Radcliff. Bo picks up that Shawn D. would like to go there, but Bo says he wants him around as much as possible because they've been separated as a family for so much time.

John asks what she wants to know and Greta asks him if he regrets being a priest? John asks why she'd ask that and Greta says that he's such a great father figure, but he'd never get to have children. John tells her in French that he has no regrets.

Back in the present, John seems to remember the conversation and says "Je ne regrets." Back to the past, Gina comes to see Greta to say goodbye to her because she and John are going away. However, Gina has a surprise and gives her the music to the Nutcracker Suite duet. Gina tells Greta to practice and when she returns, they will play it on Christmas morning.

Mrs. Faversham calls Hope, Gina and Bo corrects her. Hope says that it must be very difficult to believe that the real Princess Gina is dead. Hope wonders if Stefano implanted her talents or if she acquired them when she immersed herself in Gina's life. Mrs. Faversham says that maybe Hope is really Gina after all. Bo and Mrs. Faversham talk about the life that Gina led and Bo finds it hard to believe that Hope led that kind of life. Hope has a memory flash of running into a man's arms.

Bo tells Mrs. Faversham that even though he is a beer and pretzels kind of guy and Gina is a Princess, he won't give up on Hope. Nothing is ever going to come between again. Mrs. Faversham isn't so sure. Hope has another memory flash, this time she embraces the man and then tells him that she wasn't so sure that she was going to make it this time.

12/18 When Hope returns from seeing Lilly, Hope reassures him that she knows that she is not Gina but Hope. He asks if Lilly knows that Bo will be in her life? She smiles and asks him if his wife knows? He tells her that he has had divorce papers drawn up and Billie will receive them as soon as she returns to town from her trip. He asks her if she doesn’t know how torturous it is to live in the same house as her but not kiss her or hold her. She asks him if he doesn’t think she hasn’t been tortured for months, no years? He promises that she is the only one he wants, the only wife he has ever had and they kiss sweetly. Meanwhile, Billie has received the divorce papers.

Hope assures Shawn D that she wants to be a family as much as he does. They are all looking forward to having a wonderful Christmas together.

Hope and Billie fight about Bo. Hope tells her that she's lost Bo for good. Billie says that she doesn't have Bo back yet and pretty soon he'll get tired of helping her look for her past and won't fit into her life as Gina with Lili. Billie tells Hope that she may have lost Bo, but she will make sure she and Bo never marry anytime soon. Suddenly, Billie is pelted with a snowball from Shawn D. He apologizes and says he was aiming for his mom.

Shawn D. and Hope leave Bo and Billie to talk. Bo asks Billie if she got the divorce papers, but she says she didn't. Bo tells Billie that his life is with Hope now and she needs to move on with her life without him. Bo asks her to sign the papers when she gets home. Billie walks off and pulls the papers out of the trash, and says Bo won't get rid of her that easy.

12/22 Rolf is working on getting the satellite into position. Stefano tells Rolf that he can not let Bo and Hope reunite before Hope becomes Gina again.

Bo, Hope, and Shawn D. are still in Salem Place, they just came from seeing Santa. Shawn D. sees a friend and decides to go visit with him. Bo tells Hope that John is flying Dr. Renault in to finish Greta's surgeries.

Stefano calls Rolf, from behind some trees, and tells him, he's running out of time and needs to transform Hope into Gina NOW. Rolf says there is nothing he can do right now. Stefano says he has to find a way to keep Bo and Hope apart.

Bo talks with Greta privately and begs her to at least meet with Dr. Renault. Greta eventually agrees to at least talk to him. Meanwhile, John and Hope talk about what Stefano is up to with Vivian. John says that since Stefano is focused on his aunt, they should use this time to find out about their pasts. Later, a man delivers Bo the signed divorce papers and he shows them to Hope. John decides to go see Marlena and Greta leaves Bo and Hope to celebrate together.

12/23 Lilly and Lucille show up at Salem Place and see Bo and Hope smiling from ear to ear. They share the news about Billie signing the divorce papers and Bo asks them to help them celebrate the good news. Why, Lilly would rather go shopping with just Hope and Lucille for new outfits. Bo gives her the look and said any other time, but not tonight as he has special plans with Hope. Lilly insists on buying them an espresso before they start their special night. Bo isn't too excited about that, but graciously accepts.

He doesn't want that old guy ruining their first Christmas together in years. Lilly watches on. They tell her about Stefano's master plan and Lilly can't believe Rudolfo would do all this. Bo asks her about Rudolfo and how well she knew him. She tells them both Stefano and Gina loved her Renoir paintings. Bo remembers the Garden of Twilight was the one Hope sketched before she knew she could draw and Hope agrees.

DVD #36C 12/25 At the Horton house, Bo asks Hope what is on her mind. She says the same old thing, what she did for Stefano while she was Gina. Bo doesn't understand why Lilly can't help her. Hope says that perhaps Gina never revealed anything to anyone. Shawn D. shows up and tells his dad they have to go wrap mom's present, so they leave.

Bo, Hope, and Shawn D arrive at the church. Hope tells Bo that overtime she communes here she remembers how they were supposed t get married. Hope apologizes for not trusting him then, but she trusts him now. Hope hugs Bo and has a memory flash of running into the mystery man in the alley. She tells him that now that he's here she knows she's loved and protected, and then hugs him. Later she has a very different vision, in this one she seems angry to see the mystery man and simply says "it's you!"

Hope is so happy to see Greta, who thanks her for all she's done. Mass starts and everyone takes their seats. Alice says to Tom that she hopes he stays in all their hearts and help them through the New Year.

Alice asks Bo and Hope if they will be there, but Bo says he has somewhere he and Hope need to go and Hope asks where?

Bo, Hope, and Greta go out for a walk and run into John. Greta is so happy and plops down into the snow to make a snow angel. While she does that, Hope has another memory of running into Stefano, who kisses her hand. She tells him that he always makes her feel safe and loved. Stefano tells Gina, Darling that he'll always keep her safe. Bo interrupts her thoughts to ask Hope what is wrong and she says a lot. Suddenly, Billie shows up and wishes them a merry Christmas.

Hope gives Bo a hug and has another memory, one of her hugging Stefano.

12/29 Bo goes to the pub and tells Caroline that Hope loved the present. Caroline asks Bo if something is wrong? Bo says that Hope is afraid of something. Bo and Caroline talk and Caroline suggests Hope give up the search for her past. Bo says Hope has to learn what happened before she can move on with her future, which includes him and Shawn D. Caroline says she wishes she knew why Stefano has this vendetta against their family. Bo wishes he knew too and says hopefully he and Hope will bring him down.

Hope meets with Lilly at the Java web for espresso. Lilly asks Hope what is wrong and Hope tells her that she's had very frightening memories. Lilly asks why these memories are frightening her. Hope says these memories are different from the others, which were always happy, the new memories are dark and Stefano is in them. Hope tells Lilly that she could sense a deep connection between herself and Stefano. Hope says for the first time she's actually terrified about what she might learn.

Hope doesn't understand why this is happening to her now, just when everything was going right. Lilly asks Hope if she's told Bo and she says no because she doesn't want to upset Bo. Lilly asks Hope what she is going to do now and Hope says she can't commit to Bo until she knows the truth. She says until she knows what the connection between her and Stefano was, she can't be with Bo.

Shawn D. shows up and wishes Ms. Faversham a merry Christmas. Ms. Faversham tells Hope she has an appointment with the hair dresser and has to go, but tells Hope she's here for her anytime she needs her.

Hope goes for a walk and remembers more about her encounter in the alley with Stefano. Suddenly, a hand is placed on her shoulder. Hope turns around to find Bo. Hope hugs him and tells her that she is so scared, but she wants to go to Europe now and search for her past.

Rolf says the transformation should occur soon, unless Salem is hit by a major storm or dense cloud coverage, which would block the satellite's signals from activating the chip in Hope's brain. Stefano tells Rolf that he better make sure this transformation happens.

Stefano tells Rolf to strengthen the signal, but Rolf says that may make Hope remember the truth. Stefano says he can't have Hope remembering she was an art thief. Stefano says he has to come up with something to distract Bo and Hope from digging into Hope's past, and he thinks he knows just what to do. Stefano makes a call and tells Rolf that everything has been taken care of. Shawn D. goes to the movies and is suddenly grabbed by a mysterious hand!

12/30 Rolf comes to see Stefano, who is pleased with the steps he's taken to keep Bo and Hope distracted until Hope is turned back into Gina. Rolf asks how and Stefano says he's had Shawn D. kidnapped and will hold him ransom for one million dollars. Rolf asks where they are supposed to come up with that money? Stefano says John will give it to them, but it will take time. Rolf thinks this is risky, but Stefano says the kidnappers have no idea that he is the one who hired them.

A man and woman take a gagged Shawn D. to a hotel room and tie him up to the bed. Shawn D. remains cool, which impresses the kidnappers. Shawn D. tells them that his dad will find them and they'll go to jail. The kidnappers call Stefano and he gives them the order as to what to do. He tells them that they will get the full one million dollars IF they hold Shawn D for the amount of time they agreed on.

For her birthday, Bo takes Hope to their new boat to spend the day alone. Hope says she feels like they are starting all over again like when they were first married. Bo shows Hope their wedding picture and Hope remembers when she and Bo first moved into the boat. Hope says she thought it burned up with the boat and Bo said it did, he made a copy of Mrs. H's. Bo hangs it up and tells her there is even room for another wedding photo next to it.

Bo gives Hope some presents, one is a brand new bear. Hope then has another Gina memory, Stefano giving her a very expensive piece of jewelry for her birthday. Bo realizes something is wrong and Hope tells Bo about her memories of Stefano. Hope says they have to get to Count Olenska's castle to find out what Stefano is hiding. Bo says they will, and they'll do it together.

Bo puts on their song and dances with Hope. Hope remembers dancing with Bo on the deck of the old Fancy Face, Bo kidnapping her from her wedding to Larry, when they first made love, when she and Bo married, their honeymoon, and the birth of Shawn D. Bo tells Hope that he has something very important to ask her, something he's been waiting for the perfect moment to ask her.

The phone rings and Hope asks him to hold that thought. Shawn D is on the phone, and then the kidnapper takes the phone and tells Hope it will cost her 2 million dollars to see her kid again!

12/31 On the new Fancy Face 2, Hope is frantic to learn who is on the phone. The kidnapper does not reveal himself, just warns her that they better deliver the $2 million. Hope says that her son is with friends, but the kidnapper says not any more. Shaken, Hope gives the phone to Bo, saying ShawnD has been kidnapped.

Bo tells them he wants to speak with his son. Putting the phone to S.D.'s mouth, he says "Help." Bo makes sure it's not a recording by asking him what the name of the boat is. S.D. answers correctly and Bo knows it is true. Outside where they are keeping S.D., the kidnapper is on the phone with Stefano, who is using a voice disguiser. He tells the kidnapper to lay low for a while; he wants to see them sweat for a bit.

The kidnappers tell Bo and Hope not to involve the police, they will contact them. They hang up and Hope is frantic. They hold each other. They try to rationalize, and Hope wonders if it was someone that Bo busted. He does not think so and begins to dial Abe's number. Hope is shocked and grabs the phone away, saying the kidnappers said no police.

Bo assures her that this is the best thing and talks to the commander. He gets off the phone and says that Stefano is the one behind the kidnapping because she is getting to close to the truth. Hope agrees that it is possible and Bo takes off. Hope remembers a Gina memory, telling Stefano that she feels so loved when she is with him.

Back in reality, Hope wonders why Stefano just can't leave them alone. Hope then says to herself that if anything happens to her son, she'll kill Stefano. Meanwhile, S.D. is lying on a bed, tied up and a gag over his mouth. He starts to cough and a kidnapper gets him a soda. With the gag off, he asks why they are doing this. The other kidnapper, a woman, tells him the less he knows the better.

At that moment, the doorbell rings and Vivian goes to answer it, thinking it may be Celeste. It's not, it’s Bo and he charges in and grabs Stefano, demanding to know where his son is.

1/4 Hope confides in Lilly that Shawn D. has been kidnapped. Lilly doesn't understand who would do this and Hope says Bo believes Stefano did it, and she agrees. Lilly says Stefano would never kidnap a child! Hope asks Lilly why she would say something like that, is there something she is keeping from her about Stefano. Lilly says that she knew Stefano as Rudolpho and he was a very caring man, not the monster she describes.

Hope says that Stefano is a monster and he's kidnapped Shawn D. to distract her from finding the truth about her past. Lilly learns that the kidnappers want 2 million dollars and she offers to pay it. Hope thanks her and says she prays this will be over soon. Hope tells Lilly about her memories of Stefano and wonders if they were intimate. Lilly says she doesn't know, but that Gina and Stefano were always happy to see each other and shared secret smiles. Hope wonders if Gina was in love with Rudolpho and if he was the man she always spoke of that was in her heart.

Bo confronts Stefano at the townhouse and demands to know where his son is. Stefano tells Bo that he has no idea what he is talking about. Bo tells Stefano that he knows he arranged Shawn D's kidnapping and if he doesn't talk, he's a dead man. Stefano says he had nothing to do with it and even offers to pay the ransom, but Bo says he doesn't want his money.

Stefano says he has no reason to kidnap Shawn D, but Bo accuses him of trying to keep Hope from remembering the truth. Stefano reminds Bo that he saved Hope's life. Stefano says nobody knows like he does what it is like to lose a son. Bo asks Stefano "then how could you take my son from his family?" Stefano says he did not do this.

Bo says that he will find his son and he will make sure he never terrorizes his family again. Stefano offers Bo his help and Bo simply asks Stefano to let Shawn D. come home unharmed. Bo leaves and warns Vivian that she could be her husband's next victim.

Bo returns to the Horton house and tells Hope that Stefano pretended to know nothing. Hope tells Bo that Lilly will pay the two million dollars and Bo says no, but she says she won't take no for an answer. Lilly leaves to get the wire transfer and Bo promises Hope that they will find Shawn D. and nail Stefano for it. Hope and Bo wait for the kidnappers to call and Bo tells Hope that everything will be okay.

1/5 Rolf tells Stefano that the lunar eclipse will take place any day now and that the satellite will be in position to turn Hope back into Gina. Stefano says Gina will be his permanently soon, and Bo will have lost Hope.

The female kidnapper takes Shawn D. to a boat and Shawn D. attempts to escape but he is caught. The male kidnapper warns him that he just made a huge mistake. However, the female kidnapper saves Shawn D who was about to be killed. Stefano calls the kidnappers and gives them more instructions, which they are to follow to the letter.

Bo and Hope are still waiting for the kidnappers to call. Hope is agitated and says she needs to know Shawn D. is okay, she needs to hear his voice. Bo tells her that he's sure Shawn D. is okay and they will bring him home. Lilly arrives with the money and the kidnappers call Bo and Hope. Bo speaks with Shawn D, who tells his dad that if he doesn't do what the kidnapper say, they'll kill him.

The kidnappers tell them that they will be in touch again and tell them where to drop off the money, and if they double-cross them, they'll never see their kid again. The kidnappers talk about their plan. The female is afraid their boss will learn that they are asking for two million instead of one. The male says that everything will work out and they'll be long gone with the money before anyone is the wiser, as long as the kids parents play along.

Bo gets another call where to drop the money, but this call is a recording from Stefano, which is a trick to throw Bo off track. Abe traces the call and it is from a voice service downtown. Abe says they better play Stefano's game. Bo says he will follow the instructions and hopefully when he returns he'll have Shawn Douglas.

Hope wants to go, but Bo tells her she must stay behind to see if the kidnappers call back. Hope tells Lilly she is afraid what Stefano might do to Shawn D, but Lilly says Stefano would never kill anyone. Lilly asks Hope if she thinks Stefano is capable of murder and Hope says she just doesn't know how far Stefano would go to get what he wants, which makes the situation even more terrifying.

Back at the townhouse, Rolf tells Stefano that the satellite is nearly in position. Stefano laughs and says his ultimate plan is about to go into effect, he will have Gina, and Bo will have Shawn D, if he doesn't play the hero. Stefano gets a call from a cop from his spy at the Salem PD and learns that Bo double crossed them, so he calls the kidnappers to warn them.

Bo and Abe go to drop off point. Bo is going to drop the money off and Abe is going to have the kidnappers nabbed when they pick the money up. Bo goes to drop off the money. Back on the boat, the kidnappers are preparing to pick up the money. Shawn D says he's hungry, so the female gives him some food. Shawn D pretends to choke and when she tries the Heimlich maneuver, he makes a break for it and falls right into the icy Salem River.

1/6 Hope is still waiting at the Horton house for Bo to call. Lilly brings Hopes some tea and Hope tells Lilly she has a terribly feeling that something has gone wrong. Hope has another memory of Stefano telling her he'd do anything to keep her smiling. Hope tells Lilly that she needs to go out and Lilly says she will stay by the phone. Lilly asks Hope where she is going and Hope says the only place she can get help for her son.

Hope goes to church and lights a candle and prays to Mary for help. Hope says she fears that something in her past has brought on this terrible event. She doesn't know if she had a relationship with Stefano or not and she says all the memories she is having are completely opposite of what she believes about him. Hope says if anything happens to Shawn D she couldn't live with herself and asks Mary to bring her son home safely.

Bo and Abe are waiting for the kidnappers to claim the money, but nobody has shown up. Abe tells Bo that the kidnappers must have been tipped off. Bo fears that they may have killed Shawn D. Bo says he screwed up big time and has no idea how he's going to tell Hope.

The kidnappers are talking and don't know what to tell their boss when he calls back. Stefano calls them and asks them where Shawn Douglas is. The female kidnapper tells Stefano that Shawn D. is fine, they are just hiding out. Stefano tells her not to let anything happen to the boy under any circumstance.

Stefano hangs up and the male kidnapper tells the female one that they have to get that money. They are watching the drop off point and see Bo retrieve the money. The male kidnapper is furious because now they aren't going to get the money at all. They decide they better get out of town before their boss learns the truth, but first they should cover their tracks.

Stefano is talking with Rolfe about all his plans for Bo and Hope, aka Gina. Rolfe tells Stefano that Hope will shortly begin to regain her memories about him. Stefano plans to swoop in and save Shawn D, to ingratiate himself with Hope to prove to him that he is still her hero. Stefano leaves, but before going tells Rolfe to finish the satelite today!

Bo returns home and tells Hope that the kidnappers never showed. They get another call from the kidnappers, who tell Bo that he went to the cops and now Shawn D. is dead! The shot pans to the docks, where Shawn D's jacket is floating in the water.

Back to the Horton house, Bo tells the kidnapper he's lying, but the male kidnapper just hangs up. Bo assures a crying Hope that this is just a scare tactic. Abe traces the call to the north side of the river somewhere, so Bo and Abe rush to find them. They search all over the docks and Bo finds Shawn D's jacket in the river and screams "God no!"

Hope remains behind with Lilly and starts remembering more and more about her times with Stefano. Hope tells Lilly that perhaps she should go back to the hotel and rest because she didn't sleep much last night. Hope assures Lilly that she'll call with any news. Lilly says she'll respect her wishes and says goodbye. Hope then begins to have more memories of Stefano, one of toasting to him as her patron, friend, and protector. Hope cries and later, Stefano shows up and tells her that he's come to help.

*1/7 On the docks, Bo is holding Shawn D's jacket. Abe tries to assure him that there is still hope and orders a search of every boat within a 2 mile radius. Abe updates Bo about the search, which is really no news. Abe has also requested divers to search the river, but Bo can't believe that his son would drown. Abe gets a call that the divers have pulled a body out of the river.

From the info that Abe got, the body had on jeans and a T-shirt with no jacket or shoes. Bo can't even remember what Shawn D was wearing, but the part about the missing jacket has him worried. Abe says that the body is going to the morgue and Bo wants to go. Abe tells him that he shouldn't; Abe will go and ID the body. Bo decides to go be with Hope and swears that he won't tell her that their child is dead.

Hope is staring at Stefano, furious that he is at her Grandmother's house. He claims that he only wants to help with her son, and Hope begins having flashes of her Gina life. Stefano enters, and Hope can't believe that she did not slam the door in his face. Inside the Horton house, Hope and Stefano are getting into it about helping Shawn D. Stefano swears he had nothing to do with the kidnapping. He asks what he would have to gain by this deed.

Hope just vows to kill Stefano is anything happens to her son. She knows how he operates, orchestrating disasters to come in and save the day. Stefano just shakes his head and says that he has changed. Hope jumps on this and begs for him to tell her where her son is and what she did as Princess Gina. He won't and Hope says that she is starting to remember, so he is lying. This worries Stefano and he asks exactly what Gina is remembering.

Hope picks up on his slip that he called her Gina. Stefano covers, saying that Hope looks so much like Princess Gina, he sometimes gets confused. Hope decides to roll the dice and tells Stefano that she is remembering her past as Gina. Again, Stefano presses to know exactly what she knows, but Hope won't divulge the information.

Suddenly, Hope is assaulted with the snippets of images she has been seeing for the past months as Gina dancing with Stefano; running down an alley; playing baccarat; receiving papers from Stefano; getting presents from Stefano. All the images show Gina and Stefano laughing and having a good time. Hope comes out of her daze and begins to break down crying. Stefano comes up to her and begins to comfort her.

Bo walks in to see Stefano holding Hope. He grabs the old man by the jacket and throws him out of the house. Outside, Stefano readjusts his jacket, furious that Bo interrupted his moment with Gina. He can't wait until the transformation is complete and Gina is his again. Inside, Bo and Hope hold each other. She asks if there is any word on Shawn D. when she sees his jacket. Hope starts screaming and Bo can only try to comfort her.

1/11 Bo tells Hope a body was found, but they can't give up. Abe calls and tells Bo and tells him it's not Shawn D. Bo decides to start his own search and Abe says he will go with him. Hope wants to go as well, but Bo tells her to stay and wait to see if the kidnappers call back. Bo and Abe go searching for Shawn D.

Bo tells Abe that something else is upsetting Hope. He tells Abe that he found Stefano comforting Hope when he came home. Abe asks why she hadn't kicked him out and Bo says he doesn't know. They talk about Hope's memories when they hear Shawn D yell for help. Bo says he's coming and dives in after Shawn D.

Rolf tells Stefano that the lunar eclipse should happen tonight. Stefano is thrilled and says he and Gina never had no problems mixing business with pleasure in the past. Rolf has drugged Vivian to keep her asleep during the transformation and Stefano prepares to call the kidnappers to tell them to release Shawn D. However, a news special comes on about the eclipse and Stefano opts to watch it. The next eclipse won't be for four years and Stefano has no plans to wait four years to change Hope back into Gina. Stefano calls the kidnappers and learns that the kid escaped. Stefano is furious. Stefano tells them that they better pray that Shawn D. is alive.

Stefano yells that they better find the boy alive when Hope walks in. Hope calls Stefano a lying bastard and accuses him of taking Shawn D! She says she won't leave until he tells her where her son is. Stefano tells her that he had nothing to do with Shawn D. and was trying to find him when she came in, but hasn't found him yet. She tells him to take her life instead of her son's.

Stefano says he has nothing to do with Shawn D's kidnapping. Suddenly, Hope begins to start going a tad crazy and accuses Stefano of playing games with her mind. Stefano gives Hope some brandy, but she refuses and smashes the glass. She tells Stefano she won't let him drug her too and starts acting crazy. She demands to know what he is doing to her mind. Hope starts hitting him and eventually falls, hits her head, and passes out. Stefano screams no.

*1/12 Bo returns home with Shawn D, but Hope is nowhere to be found. Shawn D. begins to worry, but Bo says not to, she will be back soon. Bo asks Shawn D. about the kidnappers and Shawn D. says they were wearing masks, all he knows is that one was a woman.

Hope is lying in a bed while Rolf works next to her on a computer. The satellite is almost in position, but Rolf says "what if she doesn't regain consciousness?"

Rolf goes to see Stefano and tells him that they have a problem, he may never get Gina back. Rolf tells Stefano that when Hope hit her head, the microchip could have been moved, which could effect the transformation. Stefano tells Rolf to get fix it, but Rolf says there isn't time. Stefano says that Hope's transformation must proceed as planned.

In her room, Hope has a memory of Bo telling her that he found Shawn D., but she doesn't know either of them. Stefano laughs and tells them that she is Princess Gina now.

Bo and Shawn D. show up looking for Hope and Stefano is glad to see Shawn D is okay. Shawn D spots Hope's gloves and Bo warns Stefano that if he hurt Hope, he will die slowly.

Bo and Shawn D. go upstairs and find Hope unconscious. They rush to her side and Shawn D. begs his mom to wake up. Hope opens her eyes and looks at them and Stefano walks in. Hope says nothing and Bo asks Stefano what he did to Hope. However, Hope recognizes Shawn D and Bo.

Stefano says that Hope slipped and fell and he put her in bed. Bo asks Hope if she remembers what happened and she says she remembers throwing things at Stefano. She's glad to see Shawn D. and Bo tells Hope she'll be fine as soon as they get her out of here. Stefano mumbles that Bo should enjoy his brief time with Hope.

Bo tells Hope that he's taking her out of Salem tonight. Rolf and Stefano hear this and Rolf says Bo can't take Hope out of Salem because the satellite has been programmed with Hope's exact coordinates. Stefano says he will stop at nothing to keep Hope from leaving Salem.

*1/13 Rolf tells Stefano that they must keep Bo from taking Hope away from Salem. Rolf begins the countdown till the satellite is in orbit, 5 4 3 2 1!

Bo, Hope, and Shawn D. arrive at the Horton House and Bo tells them both to pack, they are taking a voyage on the Fancy Face II. However, Hope tells Bo that she can't leave, she has to stay here. Hope says she just got back and doesn't want to uproot their family. Bo tells her to think of it as a vacation.

Hope says she can't leave till she says goodbye to Lilly and Bo says okay because he has errands to take care of anyway. Hope says she'll meet him at the boat and leaves. Later, Bo tells Shawn D. he's going to the boat to arrange a special surprise for his mom. Bo goes to a jewelry shop to buy an engagement ring.

Hope goes to see Lilly and tells her that Shawn D. is safe, which relieves Lilly. Hope tells her that she and Bo are going on a trip and Lilly asks Hope if she is running away? Lilly realizes Hope is having more memory flashes and Hope admits she, memories of Stefano. Hope says her closeness to Stefano is scaring her. She says the flashes are becoming more intense and she doesn't know why. As the satellite goes into orbit, Hope turns into Gina!

Lilly asks Gina if it is really her. Hope snaps back and Lilly tells Hope that she became Gina before her very eyes! Hope says she just had a very intense memory. Hope notices the Rennet art book and looks through it. Lilly's mind wanders, so she excuses herself to take her medication.

Hope looks at a picture of Garden of Twilight and remembers breaking into Lilly's place and stealing it! She's also smoking, dressed in black, and has very straight and dark colored hair with red streaks in it. Hope cries, "Oh my god, I was an art thief!"

Later, Stefano gets a call from Bart, who tells him that Hope is at the Salem Inn with Lilly. Stefano says he will be there soon. Meanwhile, Rolf is waiting for the Lunar Eclipse to occur to transform Hope into Gina via the satellite.

*1/15 At Salem Place, Bo is gazing at the big old diamond engagement ring that he bought for Hope. A gust of wind blows a glove by and as he drops to pick it up, the owner comes rushing up. They both look up at Bo sees that he has rescued Billie's glove. Bo wonders how Billie is doing and she tells him that she is okay.

Bo tells Billie his good news, which does not sit well with her. Billie covers and says that she is happy for the two. Billie tells him that all that she has done was for Bo. He tells her that they had some good times and that she will have a special place in his heart. They hug and Billie wishes them well.

Everything is in place for Hope's transformation, Rolf tells Stefano. Looking at the weather channel, Rolf sees that there is trouble: a storm is on its way, that will block the satellite's transmission, but it may not be strong enough to activate the chip in Hope's brain. Stefano does not care, just make it happen. The problem, Rolf says, is that Hope will still continue to have the Gina flashes. This infuriates Stefano, who knows the Hope will go to Bo with what she remember.

At Lili's, Hope flashes back to her days as Evil Gina. She remembers stealing Lili's painting. Hope is shocked to learn that she was an art thief. Lili returns and sees that Hope is distraught and wonders what is wrong. Hope tells her that she is fine, but Lili does not believe it. Hope chalks it up to the whole Shawn D thing. Hope flashes again to her and Stefano drinking champagne. They are toasting their acquisitions.

Back in reality, Hope knows that it is true. Lili returns with a glass of sherry. Lili wistfully tells Hope that she wanted to leave her art collection to Gina, but they were stolen. Hope probes when the thefts took place, and Lili remembers that it was years ago, when Gina was with her in Lugano. Lili recalls that the two were having dinner, but Lili became ill. Hope flashes back to that time, and that she drugged Lili's drink to make her ill. Hope is aghast that she did this to her friend.

Lili continues her story that her paintings were gone that night. Hope is guilt-ridden that Lili is going on about what a caring friend Gina was to her. Hope then recalls meeting up with Stefano and the two toasting to Lili's "trusting" ways. Lili goes on to say that there were no leads and that the thieves probably still have the paintings, somehow concealed.

Hope recalls painting on a canvas and says that she has seen that painting. Lili wonders what painting she is referring to. Hope covers, pointing to one in a book. Lili leaves to get another book, but Hope wants to leave. Flipping through the book, she comes upon a picture. Upon looking at it, she closes her eyes in disbelief. It is a picture of her and Stefano together. She says that she has to tell Bo the truth about her life as Gina.

Bo rushes into the Horton house, looking for Mrs. H. He has a very important question to ask her. He says that it is silly and old fashioned, but he wants her permission to marry her granddaughter. Alice is so happy to hear this. Bo promises that he will do his best to make Hope happy.

He shows her the ring that he bought, pledging to make up for all the lost time. Bo rushes off to find Hope and propose to her, but not before recalling many years ago, when he proposed to her as Rhett and Scarlett. Bo says that now not even Stefano can come between them.

*1/18 Bo and Shawn-D arrived on the boat, looking at the ring. Shawn-D wanted to call Doug and Julie, and Bo broke down and let him. Alone, Bo said that he was planning to go to Santa Rosa, and if all worked out, they would marry there. When Shawn-D returned, he said that Doug and Julie were excited and thrilled over the news. Bo sent him, with police protection, to Alice's to pack the rest of Hope's things and said that he had an errand to run before they left.

Bo arrived to see Greta before he left. He told John about Hope's flashbacks and how worried he was about her. They talked about what she might have done for Stefano. Greta became agitated and said that her mother wasn't a criminal. Bo also asked John to keep an eye on Stefano while they were gone.

Rolf and Stefano were working diligently on the transformation. Rolf said they only had a short window of opportunity to accomplish their task. Rolf was upset over the storm. Stefano told Rolf to do something about the "damned blizzard." Rolf replied that it was time for a reality check, he was not God. Rolf said it would either work or it would not, but they would know in a few minutes. Bart called and told Stefano that Hope was on the move. Rolf told Stefano to get ready.

Hope continued to look at the photo of her and Stefano. She was shocked when Lili returned. Lili wanted to know what was wrong, but Hope didn't tell her or show her the picture. Lili begged her, but Hope became agitated and said she had to leave.

Hope drove her car in the snowstorm. She had flashbacks and was angry that she was aware that she had been an art thief and involved with Stefano. She said it was her worst nightmare come true as she looked at the picture again. She saw herself and Stefano dancing in her flashbacks.

Hope said that she had to get to Bo, he was the only one who could help her. As she put the picture in her purse, she took her eyes off the road. The car swerved, and she screamed.

Bo returned to the Fancy Face, looking for Hope, but she wasn't there. He wondered where she was as he said this time nothing would go wrong. Hope, with blood streaming down her face, stumbled from the car and collapsed in the snow.

Rolf and Stefano started the countdown to activate the satellite. Hope lay in the snow, having flashbacks. She tried to get up but couldn't. Rolf counted 3-2-1 and the button was pushed. Stefano begged his Gina to return to him.

As she lay there, bleeding in the snow, Hope started having flashbacks of her life as Hope as well as Gina. Her memories went into fast motionm her wedding, Shawn-D's birth, dancing with Stefano, alternating between Hope and Gina. They grew faster and faster until her eyes flew open, and she just stared straight ahead of her.

*1/20 Bo waited for Hope on his boat. He didn't understand why she was late, so he called Lili. Lili said Hope had left but had been very upset. Bo thought maybe she was taking it slowly because of the storm, and both Bo and Lili promised to contact one another if they heard anything. Bo called the police to get accident reports, but none were of Hope's car. He began to worry as to where she might be.

Rolf and Stefano watched as the satellite went into position. Stefano said over and over, "Come back to me." Rolf told Stefano that the signal had been sent, and they just had to wait and see if it had penetrated through the blizzard. Stefano tried to call Bart, but nobody answered his cell phone.

Stefano started to worry then realized that Hope could have been alone when the signal was activated. Stefano asked if the signal would be more powerful if she had been outside, and Rolf said yes. Stefano said that meant Hope could be completely Gina. Rolf said that if she was Gina, she should also have Hope's memories.

Hope was lying at the side of the road, experiencing all sorts of mixed memory flashes, pieces of her life with Bo and pieces with Stefano. Hope woke up and said, "Stefano," but then collapsed again. She started to moan Bo's name as well as Stefano's.

Later, a highway patrolman found Hope. Hope was taken to the hospital, and Mike recognized her. Carrie told Mike that she'd call Bo. Carrie called Bo to report that Hope had just been taken to the hospital; she'd been in an accident. Bo told Carrie that he'd be right there. Bo showed up and went to see Hope; he told her that he loved her and wanted her to return to him.

1/22 Rolf and Stefano were at the hospital, talking about how they had lost Gina. Stefano remembered his Gina and stated how everything would be perfect if he had her back. At the DiMera Mansion, Stefano vowed to find another way to turn Hope back into Gina.

At the Horton house, Bo asked Hope to marry him. Hope hugged Bo then Bo kissed her. When Hope recalled the picture of her in Stefano's arms, she pushed Bo away and slapped him. Hope apologized and said she didn't know why she had done that. She told him she couldn't think about the future at that moment. Bo pushed her for answers, but she told him she was just not ready for that.

Hope said she wanted to rest and gave him the engagement ring to keep safe. Bo asked her why she was doing that and Hope just told him that she needed to be alone. She asked him to go. Bo refused to leave her that way because he was worried about her. Hope told Bo that she needed to be by herself at that moment.

Bo looked into Hope's eyes and told her that he cared about her. He said he wanted to know what was going on so he could help her. Hope told him that the only thing he could do was to give her some time and space. Bo told her that she would wear the ring one day, and then he left.

Hope told her Gran about Bo's proposal and how she had rejected it. Alice didn't understand, and Hope snapped at her Gran. She then apologized and said she hadn't meant to snap; she was just tired. Alice asked Hope if she was having more flashbacks. Hope said yes, but she could handle them.

Hope told her Gran that she couldn't move on with Bo until she knew what she had done as Gina. She told her Gran not to worry about her. Hope said that she had to go out and put on a new hat -- the fur hat she was always wearing in her Gina flashbacks.

Bo went to the hospital and ran into John. Bo told John about Hope's mood change and the accident. In her room, Greta had a dream that her mother visited her, and her face was revealed and it was Hope's.

Meanwhile, Hope went to the DiMera mansion and shocked Stefano when he opened the door to see her wearing the fur hat and looking very Gina-like. Hope handed Stefano the picture of them and asked if it looked familiar. He asked her where she had gotten it, and she said the only thing that mattered was that his game was over. She knew everything. Stefano tried to say he didn't know what she was talking about. She told him to save it and said she knew she had stolen Lili's paintings, and he would get what he deserved.

1/25 In the hospital corridor outside Greta's room, Bo tells John that Hope is acting very strange lately and he suspects Stefano is behind it. Bo then tells John he proposed to Hope tonight, but she refused and even slapped him! John doesn't understand and Bo tells him that Stefano is behind it. However, John doesn't see how Stefano could have pulled re- brainwashing Hope off while she is still in Salem.

At the DiMera mansion, Hope tells Stefano that she knows he made her steal Lilly's collection and paint over them to hide them. Stefano tells her that is ridiculous and denies Hope's accusation. Hope tells him that not only does she remember what she did, but she knows where the masterpieces are hidden. Stefano still pretends to know nothing and Hope tells him that she knows the paintings are at Vivian's townhouse.

Stefano says that is preposterous, but Hope says she knows he left the paintings to Jonsey, who left them to Vivian, which is why he married Vivian. Stefano asks her what she wants and Hope says she wants him to pay. Stefano tells her that he warned her about snooping into her past. Hope tells him that he's underestimated her again, she's told Bo everything! Stefano loses control and begins to strangle Hope. Hope breaks free and then begins to laugh.

Stefano asks her if she is mad and GINA says she fooled her creator, the great Stefano DiMera. She asks if he is going to welcome her home? Stefano hugs her and is so glad Gina is back. Gina tells Stefano that she's so glad he saved her from being Hope. Stefano pours some champagne and they toast. Gina says she enjoyed paying him back for taking her away from the life she so enjoyed.

Gina picks up Vivian's diamond necklace and they reminisce about the time they met a king. Gina tells Stefano that she wants to return to Europe now, but Stefano tells her they can't leave Salem. Gina is upset and says there is no baccarat, no opera, no art festivals here, she can't stay in a town where the only culture is grown in a petri dish.

Stefano tells her that they have work to do in Salem. Gina starts tickling Stefano and saying "Steffie's Getting Stuffie" over and over. Vivian goes downstairs and catches Hope/Gina tickling Stefano and demands to know what she's doing with her husband!

1/26 Gina is tickling Stefano when Vivian walks in and asks "Hope" what she is doing with her husband! Gina stops tickling Stefano and Vivian asks "Hope" what is going on here? "Hope" says that she still hates Stefano, but she was trying to get him to let his guard down to get some answers. Vivian tells "Hope" that she doesn't believe a word she says. "Hope" offers to leave, but Vivian leaves so they can resume their tickle war. Stefano goes after Vivian, who won't listen to his explanations. Vivian tells Stefano that she doesn't know if she can trust him and has to think.

Stefano goes to see Gina and tells her she has to be careful not to let others become suspicious of her. Gina becomes angry and says she doesn't want to be Hope, she wants to get back out and see her friends and daughter. Stefano tells Gina to stay away from Greta, he doesn't want her anywhere near her! Gina says she hasn't seen her daughter in years and misses her!

She asks if she can see her as Hope, but Stefano says that Greta will sense something is wrong. Stefano tells Gina that she has to keep up her act as Hope and convince everyone that she is Hope, especially Bo. Gina tells Stefano that Bo proposed to her, but she rejected him. Gina says she's tired of being Hope and wants to go back to Europe, to her old life as a princess.

Stefano says he knows that, but he needs her to help him get his art collection back first. Gina tells Stefano that she doesn't like being told what to do and she tells him that he needs her more than she needs him! Stefano promises not to keep her here for long because he has his eye on the last Rennet painting. Gina tells him that it's hard working alone after all those years with a partner, but Stefano insists she can do it on her own.

Gina asks Stefano what did happen to her partner and Stefano tells her that is of no concern. Gina tells Stefano she wants to get whatever he needs her to do done so she can get back to the good life. Stefano tells her "all in good time." Gina leaves and Stefano tells Rolf that Gina is back! Stefano say once he has his art collection back, he and Gina will go back to Europe. He confesses to Rolf that he doesn't want Gina to come into contact with Greta. Rolf says that Greta shouldn't be able to sense that Hope is gone.

Bo and John talk to Greta in her room about her mom. Greta assures them that Gina is somewhere in Salem. John tells Greta about how Stefano turned Hope into Gina and maybe that is why she is confused. Greta recalls being with Hope at Maison Blanche and thinking that she was her mom then. She tells John and Bo that they are right, if her mom was still alive, Hope could not have taken over her life.

John tells her that he knows she misses her mom, but her mom is gone. Greta says that she knows they are both right, but the dream felt so real. Later, Greta tells John that she knows her mom is dead, but it would be so wonderful if she was still alive.

Gina goes for a walk and says she can't wait to get back to Europe. She remembers dancing and playing baccarat with Stefano. She says Princess Gina is back and she's here to stay! As she dances around in the snow, Bo spots her and looks very worried.

Vivian shows up at the hospital and tells John and Bo that she no longer trusts Stefano. She tells them both that Hope was acting very friendly with him earlier, and she won't stand for it. Vivian leaves and Bo wants to see what is wrong with Hope, but John tells him that Vivian isn't well and has been imagining things for weeks.

Bo goes for a walk and runs into Hope, as she turns around in her fur hat looking very Gina-like, he stares at her in shock.
