John hits a switch and activates the ventilation system, which pulls out the smoke and vapor. John finds Anna and Tony unconscious. He then hears Stefano's laughter. John calls for Stefano and finds a boy who claims to be Stefano. John thinks this is some kind of joke. He tells the boy they are half brothers; his mother was Colleen. The boy tells John he ruined his life and runs off. John then encounters a young Santo, who is sorry about Stefano's actions and wishes things could have turned out differently. Santo reminisces about Colleen, and how much he loved her. Santo tells John that he's making a huge mistake being cold to everyone, and hurting Marlena. John thinks Marlena might not be for him. The old version of John confronts new John. They argue about who the better version is. Old John informs new John that Marlena is the best thing that has ever happen to either one of them, and not to give up. As old John exits, Santo tells new John not to give up on love.

After a blinding flash, Marlena is shocked to see her twin-sister, Samantha, back from the dead. Samantha gives Marlena a lecture on how she broke her oath by hurting patient - Stefano. Marlena protests. Stefano must be punished because of what he's done to John. The sisters argue over whether or not Marlena should give up on John. Marlena tells Samantha that she may never get back old John, but she has seen him inside new John. Samantha fights back saying if Marlena has the will to stop the impending coma, then she can have the will to move on. Marlena attempts to reach over and inject herself with the antidote. Samantha believes in her sister and fades away as Marlena's hand begins to move.

Stefano holds baby Joe as a hurried Rolf enters. Stefano hands him the baby. Later, Rolf returns to Stefano and informs him that everything is taken care of. Stefano tells Rolf their plan is almost complete. ;-)
