On today's Days of Our Lives recap:
University Hospital – Kayla's Office: Marlena arrives and Kayla asks why she isn't home with John. Marlena says he isn't back yet. Marlena says John made a pit stop to help gain the drug to help save Bo. Kayla explains the entire situation and why they are simply trying to get a singular dose. She apologizes for the delay in John's return, but Marlena understands as she and John have the rest of their lives together. They both understand how their respective husbands have considered Bo a brother to them both.
Flashback: Bo telling his sister she can depend on him for anything.
In real-time, Kayla notes how many times Bo, John and Steve have stepped up to save their lives and provide the foundation for their families. Kayla thinks they are both so lucky to have them return and worries Bo won't be able to do so this time.
Kayla encourages Marlena to head home to get some sleep but she's not willing to leave. She says she was so excited to see her husband come home. Kayla is certain John will get his mission accomplished and come home to the woman he loves.
Hospital (unclear on location): Hope is at Bo's bedside, strokes his face, kisses him on the lips and wishes him a happy anniversary. Flashback to one of Bo and Hope's weddings and their amazing vows… In real-time, she says it seems like yesterday they had their adventures and wishes they could do it all over again. Just then, Ciara Alice enters and embraces her mother. Hope says Shawn Douglas will be their soon but makes no mention of Chelsea. They both admit how scared they are. Hope says the priest gave Bo his last right as but she thinks he's hanging on to give his family a chance to return.
Ciara says Ben is at the hotel with the kids. Hope asks Ciara to sit with her father for a while so she can go elsewhere. Ciara begins to cry as she sits next to her father and says how strange it feels to see him in such a sedentary state. She would give anything to fix her father so they could get on their motorcycles or their boats and take on new adventures. She explains how Ben is a great father to Bo and Addie and how he makes her feel safe and loved. Flashback to Bo telling his daughter to hold on to her necklace and remember how much her parents love her (C'mon, Lauren Boles!!!).
Ciara says they will be together no matter what. Afterwards, we see Bo walking in Horton Square, and he sees Tom and Alice's plaque. He has no idea with the hell he is doing there.
Back at the hospital, Ciara Alice talks with Bo about all of his children. She says she didn't always do a great job of living up to her middle name. Ciara wishes she had realized sooner how blessed she was to be his daughter and to be a Brady.
In Bo's mind, Bo wanders around and looks through the window of the pub. He sees Kayla and Steve eating and enters. Bo hears Steve and Kayla talking about him and then realizes they can't hear or see him. Suddenly, he is back outside and locked out of the restaurant.
In real-time, Bo's monitors begin to go haywire and Ciara calls for help. She goes to his side and breaks down, begging her father to stay with them. The doctor stabilizes Bo and Ciara wonders where her mother could be.
Random Alley: John arrives, and Steve introduces him to Dr Russell as their savior (the 'that's a fact' of it all killed me). Steve explains John is an expert as this kind of thing and insisted on showing up to help them. They discuss how they need to be ready for whatever comes next. Steve says the security system has a two-part security system, John can cover one part… and Hope enters saying she can cover the other.
Hope cuts the wires which unlocks the doors. She tells Dr Russell to come with her and help locate the drug.
Shawn Douglas is worried he will never get to say goodbye to his father. Steve knows he blames himself for his father's condition. That being said, he is counting on Bo to hold on and pull through.
Warehouse: Hope, John, and Dr Russell enter and a person on the floor (Asher?) begins to rouse from an unconscious state. Dr Russell spots the Sepsis drug just as Asher jumps up and attacks Dr Russell. Hope grabs the drug as Asher wrestles with the good doctor and the room begins to fill with smoke.
Asher, who seems to be high, pulls a knife and says he's going to kill them. John swings into action as flames begin to rise. Hope gets Dr Russell out and tries to go back in but the fire has engulfed the doorway.
The fire fighters have now arrived and Steve and Hope are trying desperately to get to John but are not allowed. They tell the group of four they have found a body. The medics bring John out on a gurney and he is still alive. Dr Russell wants to take a look but is told to stand down. The medic indicates John is badly burned as the suit didn't protect him.
Hope and Steve tell John he's going to pull through like he always does. Shawn Douglas looks down at John's open hand and realizes he secured one vile of the sepsis drug. He gives it to Hope and tells her to go save Bo.
Horton House: Julie calls Hope and leaves her a message to wish her a happy anniversary. Later, Julie is pacing the floor looking at a picture of Bo and Hope. She flashes back to an earlier, happier time. She pulls down a picture of Doug and asks him to help Bo in anyway he can.
University Hospital – Kayla's Office: Kayla takes a call from Shawn Douglas and tells Marlena there's been an explosion. She says John has been badly hurt.
University Hospital – Bo's Room: Shawn Douglas and Hope arrive to tell Ciara they secured the drug for Bo. They think it's the miracle they've been waiting for. Hope sits by Bo's side and tells him to fight.
University Hospital – Lobby: Steve tells Dr Russell the man who attacked him is dead. He says John not only saved Dr Russell's life but also his life's work. Steve hands him vibes of the drug saying John protected them with his body. He tells the good doctor to continue his work because John put his life on the line to save his important drug. With that, Steve takes a seat and breaks down.
University Hospital – John's Room: Marlena and Kayla are at John's bedside. Kayla says John inhaled a lot of smoke and has 3rd degree burns over 30% of his body. Marlena is in tears and says she called the kids who are on their way. She says she won't be leaving his side.
Endings
Julie takes a seat and wishes Doug a happy anniversary. She says she thinks of him every day and cherishes their love. She kisses the picture and pulls it close to her chest.
Hope, Ciara and Shawn Douglas recite the Lord's prayer as the doctor administer the sepsis drug.
Marlena knows John is exhausted but begs him not to leave her now. Steve enters and stands by Marlena's side. He says Stefano may have called himself the phoenix but had nothing on John Black. We now flashback to John's origin story, many of his identities and life-threatening adventures. With each heartbeat, we see a different flashback scene. In real-time, John whispers, 'I love you, Doc' to Marlena. As soon as he elicits the sentiment, the heart monitor flatlines. Kayla returns and says he's coding. Steve pulls Marlena to the side and she calls out to her beloved that she is right there.
