Marlena confronts Kayla and learns the truth
On Days of Our Lives, Marlena went to the hospital, worried about John. While talking to Kayla, she realized John had gone to find a cure for Bo. Kayla admitted she knew but hadn’t said anything. Marlena was upset but stayed hopeful, trusting John like she always had.
They talked about the many risks their husbands had taken over the years. Kayla mentioned giving Bo Steve’s old jacket once, and Marlena said if anyone could save Bo, it was their husbands.
Emotional vigil at Bo’s bedside
Hope sat by Bo, remembering their wedding and whispering an anniversary message. Ciara joined her, crying as she feared losing her father again. Hope comforted her, believing Bo was holding on for his family. Later, Ciara spoke to Bo alone, remembering how he made her feel safe and wishing she could fix him like Ben once fixed her bike.
Bo’s dream walk through Salem
Bo dreamed he was walking through Salem. At Horton Square, he found a bow from young Ciara and spoke to the Hortons, though no one saw him. At Brady’s Pub, he saw Kayla and Steve, but they couldn’t hear him. He yelled, “I’m right here!” but remained unseen. Back in the hospital, Bo’s vitals suddenly spiked. Ciara panicked, doctors rushed in, and Hope ran back in fear.
Fire and fight at the meth lab
At the meth lab on Days of Our Lives, John, Steve, and Shawn were trying to disable the security system when Hope arrived to help. She and John cut wires at the same time, allowing them to enter. Inside, they found chaos, chemicals, unconscious people, and a surprise attacker. John fought the man while Hope got Dr. Russell to safety. A fire broke out, and Hope tried to go back for John but was stopped.
John’s sacrifice and the final push for Bo
After the fire, the team found John badly burned but alive, holding the only vial of Versavix. “Go, save Bo,” he whispered before passing out. He was rushed to the hospital in critical condition. Hope and Shawn gave the vial to Bo’s doctor. Surrounded by family, Bo got the treatment as everyone prayed with hope.
Marlena’s heartbreak and John’s final words
Marlena stayed by John’s side as Kayla explained his serious injuries. Marlena begged him to hold on for their kids. Steve called John a true Phoenix. As the show ended, John’s life flashed before him. He whispered, “I. Love. You.” Then his monitor flatlined, leaving everyone stunned and afraid he might not survive.
