SUMMARY:
At the Brady House, Hope comes downstairs, worried that she slept so late only to find the living room filled with red balloons. Bo suddenly pops up from hiding behind the chair and tells her "happy birthday!" He got up early and had Caroline pick Zack up and decorated the house. He says that there are surprises there, but she must find them. She wonders how? He hands her a pin and tells her to "start poppin'". As the day goes on, we see them running around the room and she is popping the balloons, looking for her present. She finally pops one and out comes a note. It is a day at the Salem Inn Spa and a suite reserved for them for the night. She is happy and she hugs him, but over Bo's shoulder in one of the balloons, she sees Larry's face and remembers him telling her, "I shot Shawn with a camera, next time, I'll use a gun". Her instincts kick in and she wants to know where Shawn is as she is worried about him…
Meanwhile, at the Horton Cabin, Larry is cleaning up the place, just in case anyone goes there, he doesn't want to leave a trail. Suddenly, he hears a noise outside and sees Shawn and Belle approaching. He hides behind the wood for the fireplace. Shawn and Belle had come there for some time alone and glad that there are no snooping parents...or no Cassie trying to hug Shawn...or no Rex making goo-goo eyes at Belle. It's cold in there and they decide to build a fire. Shawn goes to get the wood when his cell phone rings…it's Bo. He's calling to see if Shawn wanted to wish his mother a happy birthday. He wishes her a happy birthday and Hope asks him if he's ok. Shawn insists he's fine and he'll see them soon. He then gets back on the phone with Bo and tells him that he and Belle are at the cabin and they are going to build a fire. Bo says that's fine, but to make sure they open the flue, the tool is in the shed. After they get off the phone, Hope is still uneasy. Shawn goes to get the tool and Larry watches Belle, holding his gun. Shawn notices that there are ashes in the fireplace and that the flue is already open, but figure that maybe Mickey and Maggie had been there. They go to get wood and as Shawn takes and knocks a chunk of wood off the back, which hits Larry in the head. (that was just too funny!!!). After they leave with the wood, we see blood rolling down Larry's head and he passes out. Shawn can't seem to get the matches to light because they're too damp so they decide maybe they should just go. Larry suddenly comes to, and is still watching them. As they head to the door, Shawn notices the Santa beard, but pays no attention and tosses back down and they leave. After they are gone, Larry says that they are lucky he didn't have to shoot them...he is after the big fish…
In Victor and Nicole's room at the Salem Inn, we see a replay of Victor snooping through Nicole's stuff and finding the check to Collin. He puts it back and Nicole comes out of the bathroom in only a towel. She wonders what's up? He tells her that he forgot he had a meeting and has to go and then he rushes out. After he is gone, she realizes that he must have found the check and panics...

Jack is still at Dot.Com calling around everywhere trying to locate Jennifer. Brandon is there as well, looking for Sami. Brandon calls Sami on her cell phone, just after Sami witnessed Jennifer and Collin in the hall. She tells him where she is and that she had seen Jennifer earlier. She tells him to order her a latte and she will be there. They hang up and Brandon tells Jack that Sami had just seen Jennifer at the Salem Inn. Jack suddenly rushes out to go there.
Meanwhile, up in Collin's room, he is suspicious about Jennifer coming on so strong, thinking she is up to something. She swears she isn't and he tells her that he loves her and that he wants to hear her say that she loves him, which she reluctantly does. We next see them in bed, kissing and undressed and she is having flashbacks of Christmas night with Jack and their kiss. She thinks she loves Jack and would do anything to protect him. The two of them have made love and afterward, she has her back to him and is crying. He wonders what's wrong? She tells him that she is okay and she loves only him and that Jack is NO THREAT to them…

Back downstairs, Jack arrives and runs into Sami in the lobby. He asks about Jennifer, but Sami tells him that Jennifer left. She walks off and thinks she is NOT going to be the one to tell him that Jennifer is two-timing him. Jack picks up a phone and has the front desk ring Collin's room, but there is no answer. Jack is panicked just as Bo and Hope arrive for their day and see Jack. Hope goes on to her facial and Bo volunteers to help Jack out. Jack tells Bo he is worried that Jennifer has taken on Collin all by herself and he needs to stop it. He wants to go up to Collin's room, but Bo insists he will take care of it, and heads up to Collin's room himself…
Jennifer and Collin are still in bed when there is a knock at the door. Jennifer freaks and gathers her things and goes into the bathroom. Collin puts on a robe and opens the door. Bo wonders why Collin is in his robe? He tells Bo that he was sleeping because he worked all night at the hospital. Bo comes inside and asks him if he's alone. He tells him he is and Bo seems satisfied and leaves. Collin slams the door wishing him a Happy New Year. Jennifer comes out, fully dressed, telling Collin that she has to leave because she has to go pick up Abby. He tells her again that he wants her to go back to Ireland with him, but she makes up excuses...her job...her family...Abby in school. He thinks it's because of Jack, but she tells him no. She asks him to stay in Salem a while longer until she can work out the details. After she leaves, Collin is more sure than ever that he needs to get rid of Jack…

Bo returns to the lobby, informing Jack that Collin was alone. Suddenly, Jack gets a call on his cell phone, it's Jennifer. She's crying and just keeps telling him that she is so sorry...she begins to cry harder and can hardly talk. She covers and tells him that she was chasing down a story and he wants to meet up with her, but she says she can't. As the camera pans back, we see that she is around the corner in the lobby watching him. They hang up and Jack is sure that Jennifer is in some kind of trouble…

Hope comes to get Bo for their massages and as they leave the lobby, she sees Larry, telling her that she can't get away from him…
Meanwhile, back at dot Com, Brandon meets up with Nicole (who is visibly shaken). She tries to explain it as pre-wedding jitters, but Brandon isn't buying it. She eventually cracks, telling him that she has been unfaithful to Victor and she thinks he knows. Brandon tells her that marrying Victor is a mistake and tries to get her to just call off the wedding. But she won't and eventually tells him about the tape and that someone, she is not naming names, is blackmailing her. Brandon tells her to tell him who it is; he will kill him. She refuses but does tell him about how she suspects Victor saw the check and knows. Sami just then walks up, asking what they are talking about. Nicole is very upset that Sami is there and starts crying…

We see Victor on the phone with the wedding planner telling them that he wants one more wedding invitation delivered...to "Dr. Collin Murphy at the Salem Inn". He makes it clear that Nicole is not to know about this…

Just at this time, Collin makes a call to Sami and demands that if she wants to keep Brandon from finding out the truth to meet him NOW! Sami rushes off. Nicole then decides that she needs to go home and feel out Victor, to see if he knows anything and she leaves. But once she is gone, Brandon says to himself he's sorry he went through her stuff, but he had to know. He pulls out the check from his pocket. He sees the $5 Million before anything. But then he suddenly sees the name on the check is none other than the good doctor, Collin Murphy…
In an alley, Sami gets there and Collin makes sure he rides her about how long it took. She demands to know what he wants as he tells her that he saw her in the hallway earlier, spying on him and Jennifer. He tells her that he wants her to take Jack out to Lookout Point tomorrow night at exactly 11:30 pm and tell him what she saw and heard. He says that it is only fitting, since she is the biggest snoop in town. She tells him no way, but he threatens to expose her DNA switch to Brandon. Sami says she will do her best, but doesn't understand why Collin wants Jack to know. Collin tells her not to ask questions and to do what he says. She reluctantly agrees and leaves. After she is gone, Collin fantasies about what it will be like and he sees Sami and Jack standing on Lookout Point and her telling Jack. Jack seems very upset and asks Sami to leave. After Sami is gone, Collin walks out and pushes Jack over the cliff. Back to reality - he says "what a tragedy, Jack loses Jennifer and takes his own life." Then he laughs and...fade on Collin's face…… Expand
