Seems Will has possession of the Salem brain.

[fluffysmom]

Wonder what Cassie will do to Will.

[sportsgirl]

So glad that Will has the Salem Brain.. Poor Sydney, will it ever end for her?

Chapter 22

SALEM HIGH
Sydney and Ceri were standing at their lockers. Ceri was listening to something on Sydney's cell phone.
VOICE (VO, over phone): I know what you did, Sydney. I was there. I saw you. You're a very naught girl. Why did you do it? How could you do it?
Ceri hung up the phone.
CERI: When was the first message?
SYDNEY: This morning while I was getting ready to come here.
CERI: And is this the same thing the caller said this morning?
SYDNEY: He only said that he knows what I did, that he saw me. I didn't give him the chance to say anything else.
CERI: Any idea what the caller's talking about?
SYDNEY: No. I have no idea. As far as I know, I haven't done anything.
CERI: What about the others?
SYDNEY: What?
CERI: You told me that you have, or at least had a multiple personality disorder.
SYDNEY: Yeah, but I started taking meds for that this past summer. And I would know if I switched because when I do, I black out. I haven't had a black-out in months.
CERI: Do you think it's possible that the caller's talking about something that happened before you started the meds?
SYDNEY: I don't know, all I know is that I'm scared.
CERI: Come here.
Sydney started to cry. Ceri put her arms around her and held her.
CERI: Ssh. It's okay. It'll be okay.

SALEM PLACE
CASSIE: What do you mean she was murdered by her own half-sister?
WILL: I think we both know exactly what I mean.
CASSIE: But how could that be? I mean, Sami wasn't even at the wake. They only let her out for the funeral.
WILL: I'm not talking about my mom.
CASSIE: Wait, you don't think I had anything to do with it, do you, Will?
WILL: Oh, I don't just think, I know.
CASSIE: How could you?
WILL: I saw you!

One Year Later...

WILL AND SONNY'S HOUSE
GRACE: Did you really? I mean, did you actually see Aunt Cassie kill Aunt Carrie?
WILL: Unfortunately, yes I did. But, there was more to the story than even I knew at the time.

[MrsM]

Wow.

[sportsgirl]

I wonder if Johnny is the same connection to both these instances.

[fluffysmom]

Very interesting. Poor Will having to see that.

Chapter 23

1 Year Later...

WILL AND SONNY'S HOUSE
WILL: Have you ever heard of a play called "Julius Caeser"?
GRACE: I don't think so.
WILL: Well, a long, long time ago, there was a famous author and playwright named William Shakespeare. One of his most famous plays is "Julius Caeser", which is about an emporer and a conspiracy to have him overthrown. After Caeser's death, his faithful assistant and friend, Marc Antony gave a speech.
GRACE: What did he say?
WILL: Several things. Mostly, he tried to prove that Caeser was a good man. But, there is one quote that I want you to keep in your mind during this story.
GRACE: What is it?
WILL: "The evil that men do lives after them."

[sportsgirl]

This is not going to be a pleasant story by any means...

Chapter 24

SALEM PLACE
WILL: I saw you, Cassie. I saw you kill Aunt Carrie.
CASSIE: You can't have seen it, because I didn't do anything to Carrie...
WILL: Stop lying! I was there, I know what I saw! I was on my way to Grandpa Roman's funeral...

OUTSIDE ST. LUKE'S - FLASHBACK
Will is walking towards the church. He heard a noise and decided to look around. It sounded to him like some kind of struggle was going on. He turned around the corner and saw Cassie, wearing a black dress with Carrie. Carrie was unconscious and lying on a bench. Cassie had a knife in her hands and was repeatedly stabbing Carrie in various places all along her body.

SALEM PLACE
CASSIE: Well, that's an interesting story. Too bad it isn't true.
WILL: You can deny it all you like, Cassie, but you and I will always know the truth.
CASSIE: You know what I think, Will? I think you should keep your mouth shut and watch your back from now on. I should hate to see anything...unfortunate, any sort of accident happen to you.
WILL: Is that a threat?
CASSIE: Threat is such a nasty word. I like to think of it as more of a warning.
Cassie got up and walked away. When she was out of earshot she got out her cell phone and dialed a number.
CASSIE: Change of plan. I have a new person to add to the list.

PENTHOUSE
That afternoon, Sydney was at Marlena's house. She had told her about the phone calls.
MARLENA: And this is the only way you've been contacted by this person?
SYDNEY: Pretty much.
MARLENA: It is possible that these are just prank calls.
SYDNEY: But how would a prank caller know my name or number? Cell phone numbers aren't exactly listed in the Yellow Pages.
MARLENA: Sweetie, I'm not trying to scare you, but in this day and age, people can easily find out anything they want to. Now, has this person said anything else?
SYDNEY: No. Just that he knows what I did and that he saw me. You don't have any idea what he's talking about, do you?

PENTHOUSE - FLASHBACK
This flashback is back from when Marlena was just figuring out that Sydney had a multiple personality disorder. The scene takes place during a confrontation with Stryker, one of Sydney's personalities.
SYDNEY (Stryker): You see, Sami didn't kill E.J. But, I did.

PENTHOUSE
MARLENA: No. I have no idea what they could be talking about.

[gapeach]

Marlena you better keep a close eye on Sydney. You know exactly what the caller is talking about! Now all you have to figure out is WHO saw Sydney (Stryker) kill E.J.

[fluffysmom]

Poor Sydney. She has no idea that she killed EJ.

[sportsgirl]

So that's what it is about. I wonder who it is that knows! I still suspect the evil Johnny is involved in this.

I wonder how Will gets away from being killed by Cassie..

Chapter 25

OUTSIDE O'HAIRE AIRPORT
Mike was sitting in his car, looking around. His phone buzzed. He picked it up.
MIKE: Hello?
Pause.
MIKE: Yeah, I'm waiting outside. I'm in a brand new black cherry Toyota.
Pause.
MIKE: Great. I'll see you in a few minutes.
Pause.
MIKE: You too. Bye.

POLICE STATION
Bo, J.T., Shane, and Jeannie are all looking over papers.
BO: Well, I'm stumped.
J.T.: Still on 8 across?
BO: Yep.
J.T.: It's that new soap opera, Nights of Our Deaths.
BO: Oh, I get it! That makes sense now!
JEANNIE: You know what I'm stumped on? This case.
SHANE: I'm with you. We all thought for sure that Jeremy was the murderer. But, he's in jail, so he couldn't have killed Carrie.
JEANNIE: What if he wasn't working alone? I've looked through Jeremy's files, and he's always had an accomplice for his schemes.
BO: That much is true. Back in '07, he was teamed up with André DiMera and a guy named Kai Rawlings. That was the time he was arrested for smuggling.
JEANNIE: J.T., has the results from the evidence of Carrie's murder come back yet?
J.T.: No, the lab boys are still working on it. They say we should have the results by the end of the week.
JEANNIE: Good. Then we can find out who his accomplice is.

[sportsgirl]

I don't think Jeremy has anything to do with this...
