REAL GOOD EATS
John, Marlena and Eric were still sitting at a table. Marlena's cell phone rang.
MARLENA: Excuse me for a moment.
Marlena got up, walked to a different part of the restaurant, and answered the phone.
MARLENA: Hello?

PENTHOUSE
NicDevil has morphed into Belle.
NICOLE (as Belle): Hi, mom.
MARLENA (over phone): Hi, sweetie. How are you?
NICOLE (as Belle): I'm great. How are you?
MARLENA (over phone): I'm wonderful, sweetie. What's going on?
NICOLE (as Belle): Well, I'm in town for a few days. Can you meet me at the Penthouse in a few minutes?

REAL GOOD EATS
Marlena suddenly got a look of realization.
MARLENA: I'll be right there. Don't move.
Marlena hung up her phone and then went back to the table.
MARLENA: I have to go. Urgent meeting to get to.
Marlena kissed John and gave Eric a hug.
MARLENA: I love you. Both of you.
JOHN: We love you too, Doc.
Marlena walked away.
ERIC: What was that all about?
JOHN: Not a clue. But, I intend to find out.
ERIC: Same here. But, before we do that, I wanna talk about this exorcism idea you and Mom had.
JOHN: Okay, what do you wanna know?
ERIC: Who's gonna perform it? Father Matt's in a coma. I've never learned how to do it. What about the guy who did Mom's exorcism: Father Francis?
JOHN: No, sadly he can't do it. He died back in 2000.
ERIC: Oh, that's sad. Hey, wait a minute, you were a priest at one point, weren't you?
JOHN: That's a fact.
ERIC: Maybe you could do it.

[fluffysmom]

Yikes.

Wonder if John knows how to perform an exorcism. Hmmm....

[sportsgirl]

I think John if he doesn't already know it, will have to google it up ASAP..

[MrsM]

Uh oh...

[gapeach]

Glad Marlena knew it wasn't Belle on the phone.

Chapter 38

REAL GOOD EATS
John cocked up his eyebrow.
JOHN: Me?
ERIC: Yes, you. Why not?
JOHN: Kid, I'd love to, but I gave up the cloth years ago.
ERIC: But you know how, don't you?
JOHN: Well, yes. Father Francis taught me after the incident with your mother.
ERIC: Then teach me.
John sighed.
JOHN: Okay, here's the deal: I'll try to perform the exorcism. But, if, for whatever reason, it doesn't work, you'll have to do it. And I'll teach you before I try it.
ERIC: Okay. Sounds great.

PENTHOUSE
Marlena walked in the door. NicDevil had morphed into Belle.
NICOLE (as Belle): Hi, Mom.
MARLENA: Hello.
NicDevil (as Belle) got up to give Marlena a hug. Marlena put a hand up.
MARLENA: I have a cold. I don't want to get you sick.
NICOLE (as Belle): Okay.
She went to touch Marlena's hand, as soon as she did, she quickly took her hand away.
NICOLE (as Belle) Mom, your hand is hot.
MARLENA: Of course it is, Satan.
NICOLE (as Belle): What?
MARLENA: I said "of course it is, Satan".
NICOLE (as Belle): Mom, how could you call me that? I'm your daughter.
MARLENA: Oh, no you're not. You're the Devil.
NICOLE (as Belle): What? What are you talking about? Of course I'm not!
MARLENA: Really? Then how does this make you feel?
Marlena pulled out a cross.
NicDevil (as Belle shrieked. She morphed back to Nicole's body.
MARLENA: Hello again, Satan.

[sportsgirl]

Wow!! So glad John & Eric will do this together.

[fluffysmom]

Glad Marlena wasn't deceived into believing it was Belle.

[André DiMera]

Previews

John begins teaching Eric.
JOHN: You gotta really feel it. This is the real deal.

Tony continues his new reign as the hospital's head of HR
TONY: No, I'm sorry, but that's all there is to it.

And the confrontation between Marlena and the Devil heats up.
MARLENA: You should never have come back.
NICDEVIL: There's gonna be hell to pay.

All this and more next week on FORGIVE ME, FATHER

[MrsM]

Glad Marlena didn't fall for it!!

[gapeach]

I knew she didn't fall for it, but I wonder what gave it away!?!?!?!

Chapter 39

SALEM UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
Tony sat at his desk, looking through some paperwork. His phone rang. He pushed a button.
TONY: Tony DiMera's office.
SECRETARY (over phone): Your 11 o' clock appointment is here, sir.
TONY: Very good. Send her in, please.
Tony pressed another button. He went back to looking at paperwork.
TONY: Shane and Kimberly's daughter.
He shook his head.

PENTHOUSE
MARLENA: I should have known you'd come back to haunt me eventually.
NicDevil laughed.
NICDEVIL: Oh, please, Marlena, don't think I'm doing all of this for your benefit. I have my own reasons for being here.
MARLENA: Which are?
NICDEVIL: If I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise. I want to see the look of terror on your face when you figure out who my next target is.
NicDevil laughed again.
NICDEVIL: But on to more important matters. While I am flattered that you recognize me, I must confess that I'm slightly confused. How did you know?
MARLENA: Oh, I've known for weeks. I knew as soon as you started inhabiting Nicole's body. You see, Satan, when you possessed my body, you did something to me. From now on, I can always sense when you're near. Always.
NICDEVIL: That's a nice story. But, how about the truth?
MARLENA: You mean you don't believe that?
NICDEVIL: Not a bit.
MARLENA: Darn! Okay, the truth is, you picked a really stupid disguise: my daughter Belle. You see, I got a call from her yesterday saying that she was in Queenstown, New Zealand. Even with an airplane, there's no way she could get home that fast. Plus, I knew there was something off when you called me using her voice. It sounded like her, but it wasn't her.
NICDEVIL: You're one smart cookie, Marlena. A little too smart, perhaps.
MARLENA: You should never have come back here!
NICDEVIL: And you should never have abandoned me, Marlena. Now, there's gonna be hell to pay.
NicDevil laughs.

[sportsgirl]

I wonder if Marlena will help save the next victim...
