Lexie knew Nicole had something on E.J., but agreed to keep quiet and deliver his message to Taylor. At the hospital, Jennifer caught a rattled Carly by surprise and told her about Lexie's memo and their plan to catch the person responsible for the drug thefts. Carly had a vision of Lawrence, who taunted her about all of her lost relationships and how she had to rely on drugs to get her through the day.

Carly covered her tracks and told Abigail that she had used her other name because she was very ill and didn't want her family to worry about her. Abigail agreed to keep Carly's secret for the time being. Jennifer confided to Carly that she felt inadequate in the beauty department compared to Daniel's ex wives.

Stefano told E.J. that unless he wanted to spend his life in jail and apart from his children, that he must eliminate fake Rafe. Chloe seemed excited about her growing relationship with Quinn, unaware of his line of work or his plans for her.

E.J. was furious that Nicole had forced Taylor to leave town, and out of desperation at losing Taylor, told Stefano that he would personally eliminate fake Rafe. At the pier, E.J. was shocked and overjoyed when he bumped into Taylor.

Even a night of passion with E.J. wasn't enough to convince Nicole to give their marriage another chance. E.J. pleaded, but Nicole insisted that he sign their divorce papers. She told E.J. that though they connected on a sexual level, there was no real substance to their relationship. Brady teased Madison that they'd had too much to drink the night of the storm and had engaged in sex, but then explained to her that nothing had happened. Later, Madison challenged Brady to make peace with John and man up. Brady and John reconciled, and Marlena thanked Madison for her help in reuniting father and son at such a critical time in John's life. E.J. admitted to Stefano that he was the mastermind behind John's troubles, and that he would succeed in taking him down. Roman gathered the family together at the Brady Pub the morning of the trial to support John. Sami agreed to stand by John and attended with all of her children, who enjoyed visiting and playing with John. As John thanked Sami for her support, a sniper fired several bullets into the pub. In the confusion, Johnny went missing. Stefano and E.J. heard about the shooting at the pub on the news, and a horrified E.J. realized that his plan might have backfired.

November 14 to 18, 2011

Madison felt Sami's pain after she learned that Johnny was missing and then confided in Brady about her own unhappy childhood. Sami lashed out at and blamed John and Rafe for Johnny's disappearance. She also accused Marlena of never being around when Sami needed her and for always choosing John over her. Kate asked E.J. if Stefano was behind John's legal troubles. E.J. told Stefano that he felt responsible for what had happened to Johnny because he had framed John and was blind with revenge. Austin panicked after the pub shooting and feared for Carrie's safety. John told Marlena that he planned to plead guilty to all the charges against him because it was the only way that he could protect his family. John appeared before the judge, pleaded guilty, and was lead away in handcuffs, pending sentencing. Sami went running to E.J. after hearing a frightening report that a dead child had been found wearing a shirt that matched Johnny's. Thinking that Johnny was dead, based on an erroneous news report, Sami and E.J. experienced rage, horror, and disbelief. They screamed, cried, blamed each other for being terrible parents, and then fell into each other's arms in grief. Meanwhile, Rafe and Will found Johnny hiding at the pub but were still unable to reach Sami to tell her the good news that Johnny was alive and well. Jennifer explained to a surprised Jack that he should not assume that they would get back together, because she still had feelings for Daniel. Austin told Bo and Hope that, based on his investigation of Alice's checking account, he suspected blackmail.

November 21 to 25, 2011

Madison and Brady grew closer during Johnny's search and rescue. Will saw Sami and E.J. having sex, but he was too shocked and disappointed to confront her. Sami's guilt haunted her as she celebrated Johnny's safe return with Rafe. Rafe walked in on Will blasting Sami for leaving the family when they needed her the most. Nicole and Madison had a heart-to-heart talk. Nicole decided to give her relationship with E.J. another chance, but she was unaware of E.J.'s recent tryst with Sami. Austin and Abigail's budding friendship spelled trouble for Chad and Carrie. Abe, Lexie, and friends prepared Thanksgiving meals for the homeless. Jennifer, thinking that Jack was up to his old tricks, apologized to him after he told her that he had been offered a teaching job at Salem University. Melanie confided to Daniel that there might be someone new in her life. Maggie celebrated Thanksgiving dinner with Victor, Daniel, and Melanie. Hope grilled Stefano about the connection between him and Alice. The judge handed John 50 years in prison with no chance for parole, which would amount to a life sentence. Marlena was devastated after John's sentence and inconsolable at the thought of spending her life without him.

November 28 to December 2, 2011

Madison and Brady almost made love, but Madison pulled away. Sami struggled with the guilt of her hasty one-night stand with E.J. when they thought that Johnny was dead. Sami could not understand why Will was so hostile toward her, unaware that he had caught her and E.J. in the act. Sami and E.J. vowed to keep their affair a secret. Kate and Quinn solidified their business relationship and plan to ruin Madison. Kate overheard Madison berate Sami for patronizing the competitor's products and services and taking time off from work. Kate told Quinn, and they decided to use the information to their advantage. Roman warned Kate to stay away from Quinn, and then told Madison to be wary of Kate and Stefano. Jennifer and Daniel spent the evening with Bo and Hope and discovered that Alice had a connection to Susan Banks, E.J.'s biological mother. Brady visited John in jail and promised that he would stand by the family. Carrie and Rafe decided to team up to help John. Carrie told John that there might be a way to prove his innocence after all. Jack confided in Marlena about the horrors of his capture in Afghanistan, and the loss of a good friend. Abigail seemed delighted that Carrie and Austin decided to make Salem their permanent home. Gabi was surprised and confused that Will asked her to share an apartment with him. Later, she told him that he seemed unwilling to commit to a loving and sexual relationship and broke up with him. Will, unable to deal with Gabi's decision, went berserk and trashed Maggie's kitchen.

DECEMBER 2011

December 5 to 9, 2011

At his deposition, John accused E.J. of framing him for embezzling funds from his investors, and then warned him that the truth would come out. Stefano told an infuriated Kate that he could not confide in her about his problems for her own good. Hope called Susan Banks in England and questioned her about Alice's connection to Stefano, but Susan panicked and then disconnected the call. Stefano refused to cooperate with Bo and Hope about the true meaning of the note they had found in Alice's Christmas ornament. Sami had harsh words for Carrie for inviting Marlena to her house for a Christmas celebration without asking her first. Will drank too much at the family gathering, lashed out at Sami for berating Marlena, and then implied that his mother was a hypocrite and had no right to judge others. Sami, Rafe, Austin, and Marlena were concerned over Will's nasty and sarcastic behavior, unaware that he was struggling to keep the secret that his mother had had a one-night stand with E.J. Marlena made some progress in her relationship with Sami. Kate offered a surprised Sami business advice on how to get the upper hand on Madison. Abigail's infatuation with Austin prompted her to invite him to attend her awards ceremony at Horton Square. The leader of the gambling ring and his associates kidnapped Chad, Melanie, Gabi, and Abigail, and forced Will and Sonny to get the site up and running again if they wanted to save their friends. Thinking that they would not make it out of the warehouse alive, Chad and Melanie kissed and then admitted that they had feelings for each other. Victor, Maggie, Daniel, Jennifer, Jack, and Rafe waited patiently to hear word of their family members. Bo, Hope, and Austin arrived in time to save the day.

December 12 to 16, 2011

Nicole manipulated the campaign schedule that left Abe with egg on his face and E.J. a shining star. Abe agreed to let Jennifer play dirty if it meant that he could win the election. Daniel decided to be the better man and broke things off with Jennifer. Jack was overjoyed at the news that Jennifer and Daniel were no longer a couple, but Jennifer cautioned Jack not to get too excited because she was not ready to get back with him, and that she still loved Daniel. Melanie and Chad struggled with their feelings for each other for Abigail's sake. Meanwhile, Abigail's feelings for Austin grew stronger, but she decided not to end her relationship with Chad. Melanie felt conflicted about her loyalty to Abigail and uncertain about pursuing a chance at happiness with Chad, whose feelings for her were mutual. Madison gave in to Brady's love and caring ways. Brady treated Madison to a much-deserved day off as well as the experience of feeling the true meaning of Christmas. Kayla returned to Salem with her son Joe to help at the Brady Pub during the holiday season. Kayla's first customers were the lovesick trio of Daniel, Austin, and Jack. Sami told Rafe that St. Luke's was booked for Christmas Eve services, so they would not be able to renew their wedding vows. Rafe suggested that they move the ceremony to Horton Square and renew their vows at Tom and Alice Horton's memorial because they were two people who had shared a happy, loving, and lasting marriage. Rafe assured Carrie that there was proof that someone had tampered with the photo of John at the café and could help clear him. Later, Bo and Hope decided to also use Stefano's IOU to Alice as a way to force him to drop the charges against John. John refused E.J. and Stefano's offer to turn over Basic Black to them. After the frightening experience of being held at gunpoint, the young women of Salem signed up for self-defense classes at Quinn's spa.

December 19 to 23, 2011

Madison and Brady warned Sami to stay out of their personal lives and concentrate on her job. Kate offered Sami a generous salary to switch camps and go to work for her at Countess Wilhelmina Cosmetics. Bo and Hope forced Stefano to make good on his IOU to Alice. Rafe, Carrie, Bo, and Hope figured out Stefano's clues and found the evidence they needed that would clear John. The judge granted John's release, and Marlena received her Christmas miracle when John joined her for Christmas Eve, a free man. In an intense argument with Sami, Will almost blurted out that he knew about her one-night stand with E.J. Sami gave in and welcomed John back home, and then invited him and Marlena to be her and Rafe's guests at their wedding renewal ceremony. Sami and Rafe renewed their wedding vows before family and friends at Horton Square. Abigail confided in Melanie that though she had feelings for someone else, they were not reciprocal, and she still loved Chad and decided not to say anything to him about it. Melanie, feeling guilty about her own feelings for Chad, told him that they should forget about what had happened between them because he belonged with Abigail. Chad reluctantly agreed, but could not shake his feelings for Melanie. Daniel confided in Maggie and Victor about his health concerns, and told them that he did not want anyone else to know about it until he learned the cause of his hand tremors. John's freedom caused concerns for E.J, and John vowed to retaliate against whoever framed him. Doug dressed up as Santa and read the Christmas story to the children. The Horton clan gathered at Alice and Tom's home to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas.

December 26 to 30, 2011

After much thought, Sami accepted the job with Kate at Countess W unaware that there was more to the job offer than she realized. Sami handed in her resignation at Mad Cosmetics, but Madison and Brady were furious and called her a traitor and an ungrateful employee. Daniel's initial test results were inconclusive. Kate told Daniel that she would never forget that he saved her life and tried to comfort him when she learned about his medical problem, but he was suspicious about her sudden concern for his welfare. Melanie fought off her attraction to Chad and convinced herself to move on. Marlena told a furious John that Stefano was in part responsible for his freedom. John and Stefano had a volatile confrontation that ended in their usual game of cat and mouse. Stefano had another secret; a letter addressed to him from Alice Horton that apparently held some significance in his next plan for John. John told Marlena that they were broke, but assured him that things would work out for them. Sami and Will's relationship problems continued. Carrie offered Rafe a partnership in her new legal practice, and Sami though not pleased at the news agreed to be happy for Rafe's sake. Will felt stressed at the party at Horton Square, and rushed off to see Marlena. After an emotional conversation, he finally broke down and confided to her that Sami cheated on Rafe with E.J. Abigail and Chad mutually decided to end their relationship. Bo and Hope were missing Zack on New Years Eve. Salem residents rang in the New Year at the Brady Pub and in Horton Square. Chad ran into a lonely Melanie, and then kissed her on the stroke of midnight.
