Tony ( opens the door) I'll be fine. Now go on John and Marlena will be waiting.

EJ Well then lets celebrate the holidays.

Anna's Hospital Room

Anna lays in her bed with her face still bandaged. Andre sits in a chair across from her.

Anna( weak) Andre could we please go back to salem. Please I'm begging you. I just want to say goodbye to Tony and my son that I'll never get know really. Please Andre.

Andre Sorry Anna that's not going to happen. I think you better get used to being by yourself.

Doctor(entering the room) I don't think you've received an accurate diagnosis.

Anna(wiping her eyes) What do you mean?

Doctor(calmly) I believe you might be able to treat whatever it is that's bothering you.

Anna So you don't really know what it is.

Doctor Actually I'm only at liberty to discuss your condition with you and blood relatives.

Andre leaves without a word.

Anna Who are you exactly.

Doctor I'm the woman who's going to save your life.

Anna(calmly) Marlena what the hell are doing here.

Int. Brady Pub .Morning

Salem turns 200 years old this thanksgiving and the pub is fully decorated in lavish fall colors. Caroline and Victor stand behind the bar. The rest of the Bradies are decorating the pub for Thanksgiving.

Tony enters the pub with Sami following.

Sami Tony are you sure you don't want to stay here for Thanksgiving.

Tony I'm sorry Sami but I really can't I have to go to Austrailia and try to track down Andre before he can ruin everyone else's lives. I really need to get going. Besides there is no reason for me to stay here now. EJ's in the hospital. Anna's gone and you don't need me.

Sami (hugs Tony) Have a safe flight Tony but I still wish you were staying.

Tony I will. Listen Sami I'm always going to be there for you no matter what. No matter what happens between you and EJ

Sami- You too Tony. These past couple of weeks you've became like a father to me in some ways even more than my own father. So thank you for that.

Tony: Oh darling you don't have to thank me. I told you that I only treat you like a daughter because you are a daughter to me. But I am a bit curious as to why you're telling me this now.

Sami: Because we all need to stick together and EJ needs you. He needs you Tony. He needs his father. (anger rising) He needs his father.

Tony: Sami I have to go. EJ he has you he'll be fine.

Tony turns to walk away.

Sami: If you walk out on him now. You're no better than Stefano.

Tony: I'm sorry Samantha. I have to go. (Tony kisses Sami on the cheek before walking away)

Tony walks away when Sami's phone rings.

Sami(wiping her eyes) Hello EJ look now's not really a good time.

EJ(smiles) Samantha yes could you come over here now

Sami (confused) Yeah sure.

Sami hangs up and heads out of the pub.

Outside the pub Sami's phone rings again.

Sami(answers the phone) Hello

EJ What are you thankful for.

Sami: EJ what are you talking about. I'm on my way to see you.

EJ So you want to see me?

Sami Yes.

EJ turn around.

Sami turns around.

Sami (excited) EJ you're up and you're here. What the hell are you doing here.

EJ ( smiles) I came to ask you a favor.

Sami ( moves closer) What kind of favor?

EJ (takes her hand) I love you Samantha and I was wondering if you would do me the honor of marrying me. I know I don't deserve a second chance but

Sami Interupts Him with a kiss.

Sami(laughs) Yes I'll marry you. A million times yes. I missed you so much Ican't believe you're here.

EJ (surprised) I can't wait to see Tony its amazing that he's really my father. My real father. Where is he? Is he inside?

Sami (sad) actually he left.

EJ ( confused) Where did he go.

Sami (calmly) Australia.

EJ (puzzled) For How long?

Sami(calmly) Forever. At least that's what he said after he lost the house and most of all Anna. He was so heart broken and you said you didn't want anything to do with him. He decided to go to Austraila. He's going there to retire. He said he didn't have anything to stay for. Since Anna died he lost his way. He took care of me and the kids for awhile until he lost the house. Andre is still out there. He's just laying and waiting for us to fall into his clutches. You know everything would be much simpler if he were gone for good. Tony really took me and our children in. He truly treated us as family.

EJ: I can't believe he's going to let this happen

Sami: EJ why don't you come in and sit awhile with me until I go and meet John and my mom.

EJ: Is your mom better now or is she still grief stricken?

Sami: She's doing much better especially since they removed the drugs from her system. She's still grieving but I have done best to forgive her and I have for Will but I still don't allow her around my kids.

EJ: Because of me.

Sami: Yes I am still very angry that she let it get that far without letting anyone help her.

EJ: I thought with Stefano finally dead I would get to live the life Iwant but apparently Tony is to afraid to face Andre and end all of this. I guess I was just hoping that when our children grow up they would have grandparents on both sides. I mean is it really so bad of me to want two parents who love me and are there for me. I thought I finally had that now its gone. Your mother didn't cause me too lose it. I threw it away. I forgave her a long time ago.

Sami(hugs EJ) I'm so sorry EJ. Maybe you should try and talk to Tony. I know you're mom is gone but you still have a chance with your dad. I know the perfect way to give you a family unit. Why don't we start with a party. I'm just happy to have the man I love back. I don't want to wait to get married now. I know your family is not here but you have your own with me. Lets just make it official.

EJ Are you asking me to marry you now? (pulls Sami in closer) Because it seems to me that I already did that. Samantha you know I love you. You know I want to marry you but I want my family there too. You still have your family mine's gone. (breaks down) Their all gone Sami why did my father leave me again.

Sami: We don't have any other choice then we have to go to Austrailia to see Tony.

Bo comes outside

Bo (frantic) Sami EJ you two need to see this.

Sami and EJ run into the pub children folowing.

The entire family focussing in on the television news report.

Nicole (upset) Hello I'm Nicole Walker and this is Titan news. With the 200th anniversary of Salem just around the corner the city council was put on display when earlier this morning Salem businessman Andre Dimera marched into city hall this morning and bought out the entire town. The land will be cleared in a matter of days. Mr. Dimera then sold the Town of Salem over to a real esate developer. The developers are planning on demolishing Salem and turning it into a weekend getaway for tourists. Andre Dimera has also inheirited the entire Dimera estate.

This is Nicole Dimera signing off.

Sami: He can't do that can he? Can he just turn our town into a resort.

Victor: actually he can.

Caroline: What do we do now?

Victor: We pack up and leave.

EJ: I have to find Tony. He has to know what is going on.

Bo: We can't just let Andre Take everything.

Victor: We don't have any other choice. Not if you wish to do this the law abiding way.

Caroline: This is our home. The two hundred year celebration is in one month.

Victor: Not anymore. ANd there wont be a town to celebrate will there.

Bo Ma why don't you take the children into the kitchen.

Caroline( heads into the kitchen) Come on kids.

Bo(angry) What the hell are you talking about Victor. There has to be a way

Victor(calmly) Andre's not only bought out the town but he also bought out all the stock in titan. I have nothing. You see Andre some how stole Tony's inheritance and set up a fake company to buy out all of Titan's stock. He took all of that money and bought Salem's land and sold it.

EJ (frustrated) Its still not his to take. But I think I know how we can stop him. He might of bought the land but our homes and businesses are ours to do with as we please.

Victor( looks at the door) That's not part of your plan is it.

Marlena (opens the door and enters the pub) Hello all. EJ glad to see you're up and awake. I also know somebody else who will be glad to hear that. Anna come on in here.

Anna(enters the pub) Well it seems you've all seen a ghost.
