Bo & Hope #61 January 5 - April 12, 2005: 8 hour original edit

DVD #61A 1/5 Maggie returns to Hope’s and reports that she couldn't find Bo. Julie asks if anyone knows where Billie is? Hope is convinced and insists that Bo is not with Billie!

On the plane, Billie remembers another time with Bo, taking care of Shawn-D, Bo telling her she's going to make a wonderful mother. Bo confirms there can never be anything between them again, that he loves her as a friend only. He's with her now to look for their daughter and to make sure nothing happens to Billie. But he warns, if he ever had to choose between Billie or Hope and his family that he would have to choose Hope.

1/6 Jennifer comes to see Hope. Maggie and Julie filled Jennifer in that Bo may have gone off with Billie again. Hope believes Bo would never do that but is worried. Jennifer points out that Jack would make promises not to go off and then get a hot lead on a story and couldn’t help himself. Lexie calls and tells Hope that Shawn tested positive for alcohol and drugs. Hope worries to Jenn about Shawn’s life being over as he has lost Belle as she is married to Phillip.

On the plane, Bo tries to call Hope but can't get through. He and Billie share more romantic flashbacks. About to land, Bo is determined to call Hope and fill her in even though he knows she is going to be furious.

1/7 Unable to find Bo, Hope learns Shawn has been arrested when Uncle Mickey calls with the bad news and she goes to the police station. Meanwhile, Kate calls upon Judge Fitzpatrick to make sure Shawn gets what's coming to him. Kate gets a call from the Basic Black pilot and learns that Billie is with Bo in Europe. Hope arrives and is furious. Hope asks Kate if she has heard from Billie and Kate says she has not. Hope goes in to talk to Shawn. Hope talks to Shawn. He wants her to unlock the cuffs and let him go to Belle. Hope refuses and Shawn lays into his mom. Hope retaliates by asking what he was doing drinking and taking drugs. Angry Shawn wants to see his father and Hope hesitates; Shawn realizes Hope doesn't know where Bo is and he is taken and processed for jail.

Bo and Billie arrive at the European Inn where there is only one room available. Bo tries to reach Hope but it's useless. Billie wants Bo to rest because his wound is bleeding; Billie nurses him. Alone, Bo finally reaches Hope, she demands to know where he is! He asks her not to get upset and tells her that he's in Europe with Billie. She says, “Damn you, Bo!” as Kate happily listens from the doorway.

1/10 When Shawn was taken to booking, Hope argued with Bo on the phone, finally hanging up on him without telling him about Shawn. After Billie insisted, Bo called back to explain to Hope why he left. Unfazed, Hope told Bo he should have let Patrick go after he volunteered. When Bo said he couldn't trust Patrick, Hope spit back, "I don't trust you." Hurt, Bo pressed Hope to talk. Hope finally spilled all about Shawn and Bo swore to return to Salem on the next flight. She was even more relieved when Shawn returned, out on bail.

Down the hall, Billie overheard Bo argue on the phone with Hope and counseled him to work things out with his wife. Billie went back downstairs to check the phone number she had against a reverse directory. Once she had an address, Billie asked the innkeeper if she knew the name. Smiling, the innkeeper told Billie they were a nice family with a fifteen year old daughter. Happy, Billie set off on her own to see the teen. Meanwhile, the innkeeper tipped off someone on the phone to Billie's investigation.

1/12 Hope updates Jennifer that Bo flew off to Europe again with Billie. Patrick overhears them railing about Billie's manipulation and chimes in that nothing is Billie's fault; she told Bo she didn't want him to come to Europe with her. Bo stops Billie from chasing down a lead because it could be another DiMera trap. Bo promised Hope he'd fly home to deal with Shawn and Billie refuses to go with him. Bo agrees to quickly check out the lead with Billie.

1/13 Hope admits her fears to Jennifer about Bo being with Billie in Europe. Jennifer tries to place the blame on Billie; Jennifer believes Billie coerced Bo to Europe. Patrick, however, disagrees and thinks Bo went because he wanted to. Hope has a memory of talking with Bo about Billie and Hope sadly tells Jennifer that she agrees with Patrick.

1/14 Bo and Billie talk to the family who adopted Georgia and it appears that they will finally find their daughter. The couple invites the two of them in. Bo comments on Georgia's name, says it's pretty. The mother says it was on their daughter's birth certificate. They ask the couple what they know about Georgia's birth parents and they admit they don't know much except that the birth mother was a whore. This doesn't sit well with Billie so she slips and exposes their real agenda. These "parents" turn out to be DiMera minions and tie up Bo and Billie.

1/17 On the staircase, Chelsea listened as a worried Hope entered the Deveraux residence to ask Jennifer to watch her boys. Hope explained that she had a bad feeling that Bo was in trouble, and she had learned he'd never shown up for his flight. Desperate, Hope informed them she was winging her way to Europe that night to help Bo. Patrick insisted on going with her, and after packing, off they went. In the faux Georgia household in Europe, Bo and Billie struggled to free themselves from the ropes tying them to chairs. Bo fretted over Hope's temper when he would not be going home as promised but then worried more that she would be impulsive and go to find them.

1/25 As Patrick and Hope arrive in Europe, Patrick warns Hope that the village may be filled with DiMera spies and it's best to lie low. Patrick pulls Hope into a kiss to avoid detection by a surveillance camera. Little do they know they've been captured in the background of a wedding photograph being taken in the lobby. Like Bo and Billie before them, Patrick and Hope pretend to be lovers visiting Europe on a romantic vacation. During their ruse, Hope swipes the registration book and realizes Bo and Billie were there.

Bo and Billie are still tied up when Billie sees Georgia, but it is a dream. Bo unties Billie and he's ready to leave but Billie won't go without Georgia. Emotional, she breaks down and Bo has to do his best to convince her that their only hope of saving Georgia is to leave now. Billie finally agrees with Bo and they take out the guard. The tables turn when it appears the guard will take out Bo. The guard points to a silhouette in another window and Billie and Bo are shocked to see "Georgia." The guard asks Billie if she wants to save her "lover" Bo or their "daughter."

1/26 Billie is forced to make a choice between saving Bo and trying to prevent Georgia from being taken away. Bo insists Billie save their daughter, he urges her to save Georgia or they may never see her again! Billie goes to an upstairs bedroom where she thinks she sees her daughter in a rocking chair. Billie and Bo are both captured and tied up again. They again quickly escape and Billie is emotionally devastated from the disappointment of not finding their daughter. Bo comforts her.

At the European inn, Patrick and Hope find the address where they believe Bo and Billie went and head out after them. When they arrive, they take out the guards and rush into the house. They find Bo and Billie in each other's arms as he comforts her over missing her daughter. Hope punches Bo in the gut so irate with him. She asks if Georgia was here? They admit that no it was a trap. Hope grimly reminds them that she told them so. Patrick leaves to get the car, and Hope pulls Bo aside grabbing his ear like a little Bo. She then slaps him upside the head (Peter complains, “Oow, that hurt! “ (LOL). As she is reaming him, he reminds her that she has always forgiven him before. She ominously points out, “That was then, this is now.”

1/27 Billie hears the noise upstairs and immediately thinks it could be Georgia. Bo and Hope do not hear anything and Hope wants to leave. Bo reminds Billie it could be another trap but Billie refuses to leave without her daughter. She rushes upstairs and Bo goes to follow but Hope steps in front of him blocking his way. She stops him saying he is bleeding and wants to leave. He needs to go check on Billie before leaving, and Hope declares that Billie can take of herself. He tries to grab her hand but she pulls away from him, so he puts his hands around her face and pulls her in for a kiss. She stops him as she knows he is trying to get her to forget what he did. She tells him sorry is not going to work this time. He promises they will work it out once they get home but first he just has to go check on Billie to make sure she is okay.

Meanwhile, Billie returns to the room where she previously saw the mannequin and finds a young girl! Billie is thunderstruck as the girl says her name is Georgia. Reeling, Billie introduces herself to girl as her birth mother. (Note: the young actress is perfectly cast as she has the same wide set Julie Pinson eyes). Bo arrives and gets a huge shock as Billie introduces Georgia to her biological father. An emotional Billie holds Georgia, and Bo holds tearful mom and daughter (how creepy for this girl with these two strangers telling her they are her parents and holding and stroking her hair). Hope comes in and sees the close family tableau and looks stricken.

1/28 Bo and Billie rejoice over finding their missing daughter but Hope is skeptical that it is another DiMera trick. The young girl's parents arrive and are horrified to find strangers in their house. At first, Bo and Billie think they are DiMera minions but the two prove they are Georgia's adoptive parents. They were sent on their own wild goose chase today and Bo figures DiMera got them out of the house in order to set Bo and Billie up. Billie declares she knew Georgia was her daughter since the moment she met her. Bo asks Hope what she thinks, if she thinks Georgia looks like them. Hope responds, “No. I don’t this girl is your daughter, Bo.” He looks so disappointed. Billie demands to know why Hope can’t just be happy for them! Hope says she will be thrilled if this girl turned out to be their daughter but she thinks this has DiMera written all over it and he wants them to believe she is their daughter. Hope points out that they don’t even know who these people are, their IDs could be fake.

1/31 In Europe, Billie and Bo continued to beg Georgia to return to the United States with them for a DNA test. Crying, a scared Georgia refused to accompany them. Georgia's adoptive parents broke out the birth certificate which showed Georgia was three months younger than Bo and Billie's Georgia. Not ready to give up, Hope intervened and asked for everyone's blood type. With the types not matching, Hope suggested they leave the family alone. However, Billie and Bo refused to let go so easily. Fortunately, Georgia's mother remembered a letter she had been given with Georgia. A cautious Bo opened it and read greetings from Tony DiMera informing them they had the wrong girl and to keep searching. Bo seemed to accept it but a desperate Billie continued to plead for the DNA test. Georgia stepped forward and cut off a lock of her hair for Billie to test. Seemingly placated, Bo, Billie, and Hope finally took their leave.

2/1 Billie is devastated as she comes to accept that the girl they found could not have been Georgia. She lashes out at Hope for her negativity and suggests that she's not welcome to help them search. Bo understands Hope's heart is in the right place but urges her to go easy on Billie. Bo's disturbed to see Patrick comforting Billie. Hope thinks it's none of Bo's business. Neither she nor Bo have any reason to be jealous. Then Bo sees the picture of Hope and Patrick kissing at the wedding reception in the lobby.

2/2 Bo and Hope have words about the picture of her kissing Patrick. Hope tells Bo the truth about the picture that he was just creating a diversion and not trying to seduce Hope. Hope lays down the law and says that Billie is taking advantage of him and it is taking the toll on him, on his family. Hope walks out the door, and Bo races after her and tells her not to walk away from him. She tells him that he has already walked away from her, Shawn, and Zack. Hope tells him that they are just lab rats running around DiMera’s game, one Tony set up years ago. She points out they don’t even know if Georgia is really alive and he grimaces. She suggests to Bo that he hire a private investigator to work with Billie. He emotionally tells her that Georgia is his child too. Hope asks if he is willing to give up on his family for possibly years.

Bo moves off to get his stuff and Hope says aloud what she's known all along, DiMera wanted nothing more than to destroy everyone's lives in Salem. Patrick comes outside over hearing this and tells Hope that she is right. The plan has always been to cause trouble for multiple couples. She laments Maggie and Mickey being split up and they belong together just like her and Bo do. She complains about Billie manipulating Hope, though Patrick claims she didn’t. Patrick assures Hope that Billie doesn't want Bo and isn’t interested in breaking them up, that she knows she could never come between them. Bo is reassuring Billie that he will not stop until he finds her. Billie tells Bo that he is not going to do that, she has to cut him loose from the search and he needs to go home to his family. This search is putting both of their lives in danger, and this isn’t fair to his boys.

Hope overhears Billie telling Bo can’t jeopardize his family by searching for a daughter they never find. Outside the room, Hope warns Patrick this sounds like another manipulating. When Hope walks in on Bo, she finds Billie all cozied up to him with her head on his shoulder.

2/8 Bo, Hope, Billie and Patrick arrive back in Salem and go to Jennifer's. Patrick and Billie are both staying there and Hope and Bo need to pick up Zack and take him home. Jennifer observes the incredible tension between all four of them and counsels them to try to come to some kind of peace. They agree to try. Patrick and Billie go out together to get a bite to eat and Bo and Hope head home with Zack.

2/9 Bo and Hope are home, and Bo has lit a fire, dimmed the lights, and in the process of lighting candles when Hope comes down still tense. He suggestively invites her to lay in front of the fire for a late night snack. She deliberately misunderstands his meaning and agrees that she is starving and offers to make soup and sandwiches as she heads to the kitchen. Stupid Bo agrees and then says he will just call Billie to check on her. Hope stops and tells him that he can make his own damn sandwich. She yells at him that they have only been home for twenty minutes and he is already calling Billie. She was a cop and an ISA agent and she can take care of herself. Bo doesn’t trust Patrick and is worried. Hope defends Patrick as Bo snarks what is it it about this guy who has all the ladies wrapped around his finger: Hope, Jenn, Billie. Bo throws up the picture he saw of Patrick kissing Hope. He declares that Patrick is trying to come between Bo & Hope, and tells her he is on the DiMera payroll.

She is furious with him and as he is lighting the final candles, he tells her he is glad as it is proof that she cares for him. He continues If she didn’t love him, she wouldn’t be mad. She picks up the candles after he lights them to blow them out and he re-lights them during this scene. (These two have such chemistry together and know each other SO well, taping scenes together is a dance between them and they read each other so well). Bo tells her that the madder she is at him, the harder he has to work. He tells her he rethought making that phone call. He starts kissing Hope, telling her he is hungry as she avoids him telling him that she isn’t going to make this easy for him. Soon they are sitting in front of the roaring fire, kissing softly. He asks her, “Isn’t this making up stuff fun?” He tells her that he loves her more than anything and never wants to hurt or disappoint her. She tells him that she loves him too and the kissing resumes as they fall back onto the floor to make love.

2/11 Bo is on the phone making plans and says that he doesn’t want Hope to know anything about this and has to get off the phone before Hope over hears. Hope walks in and is upset that he had to call Billie and they couldn’t have just one night alone. He tells her that he wasn’t talking to Billie, that he was planning a surprise for Hope to show her how much he appreciates her. She apologizes for spoiling his surprise. Hope wants Bo to convince her that he won’t go chasing after Billie again. She reminds him that Sean and Zach need him. She assures him that she wants to find Georgia but he doesn’t see that the DiMeras are playing Bo. He thinks that Georgia is alive and promises her that Billie is not going to come between him and his family. He asks if they can get on with her surprise? He blindfolds her and carries her upstairs to their bedroom which has been decorated with flowers, heart balloons, champagne and lit candles as he wishes her an early “Happy Valentine’s Day”.

He asks her if she remembers when he first kissed her (at the 4th of July picnic kissing booth)? He tells her that she has had his heart since that moment and she always will. After they make love, they dive into her favorite chocolate truffles from Paris. He gives her a charm bracelet with a sailboat charm to remind her of when they first got married and sailed off together. She is sorry she doesn’t have a present for him. He tells her that she is the best present a guy could want, every single day that he gets to spend his life with her. Bo promises Hope he will be here for his family from now on; he won't go racing off to Billie's rescue anymore. Billie and Patrick are arrested and the arresting officer calls Bo (she was out drinking with Patrick, got in a bar brawl and slugged a cop). Billie grabs the phone and begs Bo for help. A torn Bo leaves Hope asleep in their bed and goes off once again to rescue Billie.

2/15 Maggie stops by Bo and Hope's for help planning a romantic Valentine and anniversary meal for Mickey. Maggie talks to Hope about her situation with Bonnie and Mickey, similar to Hope's situation with Bo and Billie. Maggie gets a call from Mickey and tells Hope that Bo is at the station with Billie. Bo, Jennifer, and Mickey arrive to bail Billie and Patrick out of jail. Bo is angry when he learns Patrick was the one who started Billie drinking. Patrick learns about Billie's addictive personality. Billie and Patrick are out on bail but have to face a trial. Billie worries: if she's convicted, she could be fired from the ISA. Bo comforts her as Hope arrives and sees them together once again.

2/18 Bo has spent the night on the sofa. Hope recalls the argument they had when they got back from the police station the previous night when she accused Bo of running off to rescue Billie again and as Bo attempted to explain Hope would not be mollified. She stormed off to bed, telling Bo to spend the night on the sofa. Now, the morning after, both regret the fight. Bo should have told Hope what he was doing but Billie needed his help. Hope tries to get Bo to promise not to go running off every time Billie calls, that this is their home and their marriage has to be 50/50. Bo agrees and doesn't want Billie or anything to disrupt their home life. Just as she softens and he takes her into his arms, Billie appears, having spent the night in the guest room!

Hope is shocked as Bo explains he had Billie give his and Hope's address at her arraignment. Billie heads upstairs to change. Bo apologizes again and said he tried to tell Hope last night but they were having an argument. He promises that after the hearing Billie will call Kate and move in with her. Bo goes up to take a shower and walks into the bathroom. He finds himself face-to-face with naked Billie and Hope comes in with clean towels.

2/21 Dressed in red, a beautiful Frances Reid started the episode with an introduction to the 10,000th episode of Days of our Lives. A short clip of Alice and Tom talking fondly of their family from the first episode aired, followed by a special greeting from Frances. It has been almost forty years and she thanked all the "loyal and devoted fans who welcomed us into their homes. Some of them from the very beginning. From our families to yours, we're so happy you could join us. Then and now and all the days of our lives yet to come."

At the Brady household, a still upset Hope insisted the Bo and Billie nakedness was no accident. Hope explained that although she trusted Bo, she didn't trust Billie and wanted her out of their house and lives. Bo promised to send her packing that day, right after he took Billie to the hearing. Grumpy and reluctant, Hope told him to go to the hearing and cut ties. Jennifer and Hope drank tea and discussed Billie finally leaving. Alice called Jennifer, worried about Lucas but Jennifer told her to keep calm. Though Jennifer felt no surprise that a wedding to Sami was cancelled, Alice was a little shaken.

At the hearing, Mickey had horrible news for Billie. It seems the toughest judge in town, Judge Shay, was assigned to her case. When Bo tried to explain that Billie was no flight risk, the judge told him to pipe down because her history was irrelevant. Judge Shay demanded Billie have a place to live and a person to verify it. Terrified she would be locked up, Billie begged Bo to let her stay a couple more days. Bo came home and Jennifer beat a hasty retreat to leave Hope alone with her husband. While in the process of undressing Bo, Hope learned Billie was stood up at the hearing by Kate. A sheepish Bo opened the door to Billie, leaving an eyebrow arching Hope to stew in the kitchen over the turn of events.

Once again Frances Reid addressed the camera and wondered about Sami's fate. Frances said, "I think her trials and tribulations have just begun." Then Frances asked the audience to stay tuned and find out in the next ten thousand episodes. "Goodbye and God bless you," she finished.

2/22 Hope controls her anger when Bo brings Billie back to stay with them again. Billie assures Hope it's only temporary but Hope is not assuaged. Alone with Bo, Hope lashes out. When will Bo stop coming to Billie's rescue? Billie overhears them arguing and takes off. When they finally come to terms, Bo asks if Hope wants him to sleep on the sofa again tonight. Hope says she wants Bo to sleep with her and she won't let Billie get anywhere near her husband!

2/24 Bo gives Zack a bath as Hope returns from having her hair and make-up done. Hope overhears Bo talking to Zack as he is giving him a bath. Such a sweet scene as he tells his toddler that he wishes his mom would realize that his mom is the only woman that Bo will ever love as a wife and a lover. He admits that he has true feelings for a woman in his life that is not Hope. Hope fears that he is talking about Billie and she has tears in her eyes. Bo reveals to Zack that he is talking about his daughter, Georgia! He continues that the love he had for Billie never compared with his feelings for Hope. He wants to find Georgia and have her part of their lives and Zack would have a big sister. Bo says that he has a big surprise planned for his mom and is about to tell Zack when Hope interrupts so he doesn’t spoil it.

A teary eyed Hope is relieved and they put Zack to bed. Bo reveals a surprise for Hope, a beautiful blue gown is wrapped up laying on her bed. She declares that it is perfect but he tells her that she is perfect. Instead of trying the dress on and going down for dinner, Bo suggests they have desert first and Hope and Bo make love. Later, Hope comes down wearing the beautiful gown and Bo is waiting at the bottom of the stairs wearing a tux. He tells her that she takes his breath away. She finds a romantic table set with flowers and candles and a special wine from the year they were married, it came from his father’s wine cellar.

Bo toasts her that like this wine, every year with her gets better and better. He continues, “to the most beautiful woman in the world, to the mother of my children, my heart, my soul, my wife.” She toasts back to him as the only man she has ever loved. Hope is trying on a new necklace, (felt like something was missing here so I went back and checked the episode to be sure but they cut out Bo giving her this gift). She tells him that he is doing a good job of making up to her as they share a romantic evening together.

DVD #60B 2/25 She confides that she believes the DiMera are out to ruin what her and Bo have together. She reminds him that they deliberately put Billie in Bo’s path to try to get them to rekindle their relationship. Bo asks her to give him some credit. She apologizes for spoiling their evening by bringing this stuff up. He tells her they have all night and she hasn’t ruined anything as he smiles seductively and pours her some more wine.

2/28 At the Brady homestead, Bo promises Hope that they will work through everything and he tells her he knew Billie would find a place to stay. The doorbell rings and both are surprised to find Billie at the door. Trying to be honest, Hope told her it wasn't all right, and she would go get Billie's things to speed along her exit. While Hope was upstairs, Billie told Bo she couldn't find a place to stay because Kate was with John, Kate's suite was being remodeled, Roman's house was out, and Lucas and Will were bad off and already crowding Lucas' apartment. Billie insisted on a hotel, but Bo worried the judge would find out and put her back in jail for defying his orders. Bo insisted Hope could deal with it because the evening was spontaneous but not special like an anniversary. A hopeful Billie smiled just enough for Bo to remember it was his anniversary with Billie. A perturbed Hope stood at the top of the stairs and watched the scene unfold.

3/1 Hope was dismayed to hear that it was Bo and Billie's wedding anniversary. Bo tried to convince his wife that it meant nothing. Hope's upset only grew as Bo insisted that Billie needed to spend the night because they couldn't risk sending her back to jail. Hope finally gave in and said Billie could stay. Bo wanted to continue their romantic evening, but Hope said, "Forget it!"

3/2 Hope, upset with Bo, reluctantly allowed Billie to stay with them. Billie went upstairs and fantasized about celebrating her wedding anniversary with Bo. In the fantasy, Bo and Billie were still together, raising their daughter; they were a very happy family. Bo renewed his wedding vows and carried Billie upstairs to make love. In reality, Bo was downstairs with Hope, trying to get back to their romantic evening. Hope kept hearing Billie upstairs, which put her out of the mood. Romantic and sexy Bo seduced Hope and carried her upstairs to make love. That interrupted Billie's fantasy, and pained, she went to take a shower. Hope heard the water running, and that ended Bo and Hope's lovemaking. They fought about Billie again, and Bo stomped out to sleep downstairs. Hope had second thoughts and called after Bo. At the same moment, Billie walked out of the bathroom, and she saw there was trouble in paradise.

3/8 Billie overhears Bo and Hope fighting about her. Hope says she doubts Bo and Billie's daughter even exists, what if it is all a DiMera plot? Billie barges in and again accuses Hope of not wanting Bo and Billie to find their daughter! A huge argument ensues and when Billie storms out of the room, Bo says Hope didn't handle that very well. Hope steams as Bo goes downstairs to check on his ex-wife. Billie gets a mysterious call on her cell phone and an unidentified voice tells them both to look outside the front door to find what they've been searching for. Bo and Billie throw open the door and find a box with a locket of hair inside labeled "Georgia Reed Brady." Hope thinks this could be another set-up but Billie is convinced it is evidence that they need to prove their daughter really is alive!

3/9 Bo and Billie go to the hospital to have their DNA checked to see if the hair locket they received could be Georgia's/their daughter's. Hope arrives and repeats her warning that this could be a DiMera plot. Billie lashes out at Hope again that she doesn't want their daughter to be alive. Lexie commiserates with Hope as Bo and Billie go to get their DNA tested. When Bo and Billie return the tension rises and Billie prays the DNA test will lead Bo and Billie to find their daughter. Hope prays that she won't lose her husband to Billie.

3/10 Bo and Billie are waiting for DNA test results. Anxious Billie decides she has to get the charges against her dropped so she can be free to search for her daughter. Bo is upset when Billie goes back to the Cheatin' Heart and implores the bartender to intercede with the cop she hit. When Bo and Hope track her down there, Billie is with Patrick who seems to be very drunk. Bo goes ballistic and pulls Patrick off Billie. Patrick thinks someone drugged his drink but he can't prove it. Bo is very skeptical and Hope comes to Patrick's defense, further upsetting Bo. Hope makes sure Patrick isn't planning to drive home when Billie gets a call from the hospital that the DNA test results are almost ready. Kate calls and Billie tells her mother to meet her at the hospital.

3/11 Bo and Billie wait anxiously for the DNA test results; Kate arrives at the hospital. Privately she gives Billie the bad news about Philip and Billie tells Bo. Kate fills Hope in about Shawn's recent behavior pursuing Belle while she's still married to Philip and declares it is not right. Hope is concerned about her son and when she goes to Bo she walks in on him comforting Billie in a hug again. Hope tries to get Bo to come with her to deal with Shawn but Bo is torn about leaving Billie. Before he can go, the DNA test results finally come in.

3/14 Billie and Bo received the results of the DNA test on the lock of hair and it confirmed that it was a match for Georgia. An ecstatic Billie began to celebrate but a cautious Hope told her to ask a few questions to be sure. Bo asked whether the DNA sample was recent and the technician confirmed it was not from a newborn and was taken recently. Billie ran off to sign the paper work, leaving Hope to beg Bo to go with her to talk to Shawn. Kate interrupted to ask Bo to stay with Billie so that she could take care of John. Bo agreed, leaving Hope to talk to Shawn alone but promising to meet her over at Shawn's apartment later.

3/15 Bo and Billie find a new clue, footprints of baby Georgia, but they lead to a dead end. Bo comforts Billie and he vows they will find their daughter.

3/17 Kate convinces Bo that Billie needs him. She's still overwhelmed that the DNA tests on the hair follicle prove that Georgia is alive. Bo takes Billie to his home where she receives a taunting, evil phone call from Sami/Stan telling Billie that her daughter is in pain and needs her. Billie is deeply shaken by the phone call from Sami/Stan and Bo is forced to stay with her instead of going to Hope. Hope is upset that Shawn took off on his motorcycle. Belle is also worried. Hope knows that Belle's still in love with Shawn and counsels her that true love can't be denied. Hope advises Belle to be with Shawn. Belle goes up to bed. Kate, having heard Hope's advice, enters and accuses Hope of trying to destroy her son's marriage.

3/18 Hope confronts Kate. Hope defends Belle and Shawn's love. Kate, naturally, thinks Belle should remain married to Philip. Hope's argument about true love falls on deaf ears and Kate is convinced Shawn's a drunk and druggie and belongs in jail. The two women part as enemies. Bo is with Billie, who is reeling after Sami/Stan's vicious phone call. Bo is still determined to get to Hope and is about to go when a mysterious package arrives. It contains a tape of a young girl singing childhood rhymes that have been altered to torment and hurt Billie. Bo comforts her but Billie insists he leave and go to Hope. Bo goes but returns with the lock of Georgia's hair encased in a glass pendant, which he puts around Billie's neck. As Bo holds and comforts Billie, Hope walks in and sees them.

3/21 At the Brady home, Bo tried to comfort Billie with a hug just as Hope came home. An huffy Hope told Bo he should be out looking for their son who took his bike and drove off to god knows where. Billie apologized for monopolizing Bo's time, but Hope didn't think she was sorry. While Bo was off making phone calls to start a Shawn search party, Billie tried to explain to Hope that she told Bo to go to Shawn, but it was his decision to stay. Not quite believing her, Hope informed Billie that Kate confirmed she was after Bo. Rolling her eyes, Billie exclaimed she was sick of Hope's insecurities while Hope retorted she was just sick of Billie. After making his phone calls, Bo returned and told Hope it was his decision to stay with Billie. With her mouth agape, Hope stared in disbelief. Furious, she asked Bo who was more important: Billie and Georgia or Hope and the boys. Bo said the question was unfair, but Hope insisted he has consistently chosen Billie and Georgia up until now.

3/22 Hope is furious with Bo for repeatedly choosing Billie especially tonight, when Shawn really needs him. Bo explains about the phone call and audio tape Billie received and although Hope is sympathetic, she points out that Billie has other people she can turn to. Billie is tired of Hope attacking her and storms out. Bo is upset that Hope made Billie leave and Hope is left incredulous, Bo is angry at her?! She warns Bo that if anything happens to Shawn it is over between them.

3/23 Hope warns Bo if anything happens to Shawn because Bo was too busy with Billie, Hope will never forgive him and it will be over between them! Bo gives Hope a gift of family photos trying to reassure her of his love and his commitment to their family. Hope is moved but thinks Bo's actions will speak louder than words. They are at an impasse when the cops call with the news that they have found Shawn's wrecked bike but no body. Hope pales, fearing the worst.

3/24 Bo and Hope rush to the scene of Shawn's accident and see the mangled bike. Officer Cesarez thinks he was thrown off the deadly cliff. Hope blames Bo. They are tremendously relieved to hear that an eyewitness saw Shawn walk away from the accident and that he got into a car with a young woman. Bo and Hope figure it had to be Belle so they go to the loft and let themselves in with Hope's emergency key. Bo and Hope find Shawn and Belle asleep in bed together and they pray Shawn and Belle will be together and that Philip won't always be an obstacle like Billie has been for them. Bo tries to reassure her but Hope is afraid their marriage will not last.

3/28 Despondent Hope fretted that her son could have been killed. When Bo tried to comfort her, Hope told him he could have prevented it by being there for Shawn. Hope also assured him she meant her warning that she would end things between them if Shawn became injured because of Bo's absence from their lives. "I don't want to give up on our marriage but I don't know what else to do," she said. Pulling out the big guns, Hope finally told Bo that Shawn believed he cared more about Billie and Georgia than them. Bo did not want to believe it, but Hope reminded him he hadn't been there for Shawn so why shouldn't he think that. Worried, Bo and Hope headed over to Shawn's to try to talk some sense into him.

3/29 Bo confronts Shawn on the loft rooftop. Bo is strong yet loving as he tells Shawn he is worried about him and wants to help. Shawn is still sarcastic and defensive; he doesn't need or want Bo's help. Shawn thinks Bo is only getting involved now to score points with Mom. Bo admits he has made mistakes but it doesn't change the fact that Shawn needs help; he is acting out because he is afraid of losing Belle. Shawn has had it and goes to leave but Bo stops him and warns him that if he walks out that door now he'll lose Belle for good.

In the loft, Belle and Hope reverse roles and Belle talks to Hope about her fear of losing Bo to Billie. Hope admits it is true; she tells Belle about her ultimatum to Bo. Belle is horrified at the thought of Bo and Hope breaking up and reiterates that if they can't make it, what chance is there for Belle and Shawn? Hope asks if Belle thinks she and Shawn still have a chance. Belle prays they do but honestly doesn't know; not any more than Hope can guarantee that she still has a future with Bo.

3/31 At Shawn's loft, Belle, Shawn, Bo, and Hope get word from Rex (who has been monitoring secret government websites) about John's plan to rescue Philip. If Philip dies, there is no way Belle can ever be with Shawn. Philip appears on a satellite feed as Belle and Shawn, Bo and Hope watch on Rex's computer. Belle is very emotional as Philip says what may be his final farewell.

4/1 Belle tearfully watches another live video of hostage Philip swearing his undying love. Suddenly the screen fills with static and the satellite transmission is lost. Everyone reacts: Bo and Hope, Belle and Shawn, and Rex wonder if John will be able to pinpoint the exact location where Philip is being held prisoner. Rex hacks into the ISA website as Bo, Hope and Shawn watch the attempted rescue unfold. Belle insists on watching to see if Philip makes it out alive. Tension mounts as the rescue team arrives at the bunker but it is empty. Belle is a basket case and Shawn is very worried about her. He confides in Bo that he has his own plan to save Philip! Tony celebrates his triumph as Philip is brought to another secure bunker and the rescue attempt fails and Tony crows that they fell for the simulation.

4/4 Belle asked Hope for advice on how to handle her worrying. Hope told her to keep praying. Deep in melancholy, Belle thought about how much worse things would be if they had kids, then said she didn't plan to have any. Hope was visibly shocked so Belle clarified that she meant no kids until she was truly ready to be a mother.

In his living room, Shawn informed his father that he planned to save Philip so that Belle wouldn't fall apart. Bo plead with Shawn to leave the rescue mission to the professionals. Shawn kept hinting at a secret weapon and after much pressing, admitted to Bo that he meant Rex. Bo reiterated that neither are qualified for such a mission, but Shawn explained he couldn't watch Belle hurt anymore. Hope and Belle entered the room and heard of Shawn's idea. "I can't lose you too," Belle exclaimed, hugging Shawn. Shawn agreed to leave it up to the professionals, but disbelieving him, Hope pulled Bo aside and asked him to be there to stop Shawn if he tried to go through with his plan.

4/6 Bo and Hope are still at the loft with Shawn and Belle. Both Shawn's parents and Belle insist he not do anything crazy. Shawn promises he won't do anything reckless. Hope learns Mimi and Rex are engaged and she is thrilled for them. Belle wants to celebrate but Mimi says no, she wouldn't feel right about celebrating while Philip is still a prisoner. They decide to have a small dinner party for family and close friends. After they leave the loft, Bo and Hope end up on the pier where they almost argue again about Billie. Bo sees a boat for sale, the same model as the Fancy Face. He and Hope sneak aboard, reminisce about their time on the boat and make love. Hope wonders if they can recapture their past happiness.

4/7 Bo and Hope discuss Billie and Patrick, Bo is against Billie getting close to Lockhart. Hope thinks it would be good for Billie. When Bo and Hope get home they hear the bedsprings getting a workout in the guest bedroom. Suddenly, there is a crash as Patrick and Billie break the bed! Bo and Hope burst in on them and Bo is furious that they have been sleeping together!

4/8 Bo and Hope burst in on Billie and Patrick. Bo can't stand seeing Patrick being intimate with Billie. Hope is pleased that Billie and Patrick are together and in private, accuses Bo of still having feelings for his ex. Bo denies and Hope thinks Bo is in denial. Patrick asks if Billie hooked up with him just to make Bo jealous? Billie thinks that's ridiculous! Patrick leaves and tells Billie she should figure everything out before they get together again. Hope kicks Bo out of bed and Billie once again sees trouble in paradise.

4/12 Hope is still angry with Bo, who is sleeping on the couch, over his defense of Billie. She rudely wakes him up and informs him that Billie has to go. Hope goes for a run leaving Bo alone with Billie. They talk about Patrick and what happened the previous night. **The End**
