Episode 10,000
Frances Reed's show 10,000 opening statement:
"Hello. I am Frances Reed, but you know me as Alice Horton on Days Of Our Lives. I am so proud and a bit astonished to tell you that this is the 10,000th episode of Days of Our Lives. Our very first show seems like only yesterday."
Fade to the first show...
Alice says, "Lovely Family, isn't it Tom?"
Tom responds, "Think we should quit while we're still ahead?" Well, if they could look about forty years in the future they should. Sorry, couldn't help myself.
"They're all grown up and on their own. Marie will be the last to go."
"And," says Tom, "You'll have the one thing you've yearned for all the Days Of Our Lives."
"What's that," asks Alice.
"Enough closet room."
"A lot has happened since that first day, nearly forty years ago, good times and bad and, my goodness, everything in between. We would like to take a moment to thank you, our loyal and devoted fans who welcome us into their homes; some of you from the very beginning. From our families to yours we're so happy you could join us then and now and all the Days Of Our Lives yet to come."

Billie picks up Bo and Hope's wedding picture. She remembers the scene in the shower. She smirks. Bo and Hope come down. Billie is going to go call her mom to see if she can stay with her. Bo can see why Hope might be a little upset. "A little upset," asks Hope, "With my husband NAKED IN THE BATHROOM with his ex-wife." Bo says it was an accident. Hope isn't buying it. She wants Billie, "out of our lives and out of this house for good." Bo gives her that, "I'm clueless" look where he pinches his lips and bobbles his head.
Mimi says she can't lie to Rex anymore, "The truth is, I was pregnant and I didn't tell you. That's why I'm sick now. I went behind your back and had an abortion. I'm so sorry. I never should have kept it from you. Please say you can forgive me." Rex shakes his head.
White-out explosion and we're back to reality. HA, we've been toyed with again. "Mimi," says Rex. She wakes up. "You said you had something to tell me."
She cops out yet again, "Rex, I love you very much."
Rex says, "I have something to tell you; something which will change our lives forever. I can't hold it in anymore. Mimi Lockhart, will you marry me?" Mimi stares.
Shawn asks Belle if she is really going to tell Phillip. She says yes. The phone rings. It's Phillip. He has something to tell her. She has something to tell him, too. "Maybe," he says, "you can save it and tell me in person. I'll be home before you know it." Belle has a migraine.
Kate remembers Brandon telling her if she set this up it would blow up in her face. Sami tells Lucas she loves him with all her heart. Lucas says, "And I love you and I want to marry you." Sami breaks out in tears and hugs him." Brandon tells Kate, "Looks like your little plan just crashed and burned sooner than I thought, something tells me you're next."
Poor Sami starts making plans for the big wedding. They will call everyone. Or maybe have it next weekend when everyone will be sure to come, "No, I'm not taking any more chances. We have to do it today."
"Stop it," says Lucas, "We can't." Sami gasps, "What?"
"I can't cut Billie out of our lives," says Bo, "we have a daughter together." Hope says the daughter might be a DiMera plot. Bo says it was a mistake to invite Billie into their home without asking Hope. Hope strikes back, "Just like it was a mistake with you and Billie winding up NAKED IN THE BATHROOM together. I wouldn't put it past Billie to deliberately arrange something like that. I don't care how it happened, I just don't want to have that vision in my head for the rest of my life." Hapless Bo backpedals. It won't happen again. Hope wishes she could believe that, but something always happens where Bo goes running off to Billie's rescue. "Not any more," says Bo, "after today she's on her own."
Billie comes in, "Oh, I interrupted again."
"Not at all," says Hope, "I think I've said everything I need to." Bo does the eyebrow thing.
Bo has to take Billie to the hearing. Hope is peeved, "What about Kate?" Billie left messages all over and couldn't reach her. With the wedding called off, Kate probably has her hands full. Billie can't understand what happened. Neither can Hope, "But women like Sami are disasters waiting to happen and whatever punishment they get is well-deserved."
Sami wants to know what's wrong. Lucas still wants to marry her, but he can't. It's killing him, "You blamed my mother for you being NAKED IN BED with your ex-husband the night before the wedding." Sami asks, "What if I can prove Kate set me up?" Lucas stares. Kate reaches for him. He elbows her away.
"You're proposing," asks Mimi, "Here? Now?" Rex gives her a ring, "It's over a hundred years old, and look at the inscription." Mimi reads the inscription, "2-14-05 R and M forever. You mean this belonged to another R and M on February 14, 1905?" Rex says yes, it was supposed to be her Valentine's present, but when she got sick he started thinking about what life would be like without her, "Not-that-anything's-going-to-happen-to-you," so he decided to pop the question. He's sorry there is no diamond on it. She says it's perfect; she doesn't need a diamond. Bonnie would disinherit her. "Yes, I will marry you." He slips the ring on her finger, "Nothing will ever come between us." He hugs her. Mimi scowls.
Phillip won't tell Belle why he is coming home. Shawn asks what's going on. Belle fills him in. Phillip asks, "Belle, is somebody there? Is it Shawn? Belle? Talk to me." Belle stares.
Bo escorts Billie into the courtroom, Mickey tells her, "I'm sorry, Billie, I'm afraid there's bad news."
By the luck of the draw, they just got the toughest judge in the district assigned to Billie's case. "Oh, no, says Bo, NOT JUDGE SHAY!" Yep. This guy is diabolical. He toys with people. Lets them twist in the wind. Loves torturing people. He's so evil he produces a soap opera on the side and really sticks it to the audience. Bo says, "He's very tough on officers of the law who transgress." What a coincidence. Patrick's case will be heard later. Mickey the crack attorney got Billie's case moved up so she can continue the search for her daughter. "What's the point of that," asks Billie, "if he's just going to throw the book at me." She'll get out of prison sooner?
The terrible Judge Shay makes his grand entrance. He tells Billie he will revoke her bail if she can't give a permanent address and someone to vouch for her. His acting is pretty diabolical, too. He should stick to producing. Bo starts to vouch for Billie. Shay cuts him off at the knees. Mickey tries to say something. Shay slices him off at the knees, too, "I am remanding her back into custody."
Hope assures Jennifer Billie is gone, "That woman will not be staying under the same roof as my family." Right. Jennifer gets a call. It's Alice. She's concerned about Lucas. "It's Sami, Gram, we know her track record. It shouldn't come as a surprise to us." OK, that's out of the way, we've worked Alice into episode 10,000. Corday, too.
Sami can prove Kate set her up, "And when I do, you're never going to want to have anything to do with her again." Lucas says, "Let's hear it."
"The proof is, she hates me." Well, that does it. I'm convinced. Lucas isn't. "When are you going to to stop blaming everyone else and take responsibility for your own actions." Sami says she's not responsible.
"What? Did you not drive yourself to Brandon's hotel room?" He's got her there. Yes, she did. "Kate didn't even know where Brandon was staying." Sami insists Kate was in cahoots with the psychic. Sami begs Brandon to tell them this was a setup. Brandon stares.
Mimi can't believe they're officially engaged. She wants to be the perfect wife, no more lies and secrets. Rex trusts her more than he's ever trusted anyone, "I don't care what Jan says." This peaks Mimi's interest, "What does Jan say?"
"She keeps going on and on [and on, and on, and on] about you lying to me. There's nothing Jan could ever do that would change the way I feel about you." Evil music plays. They hug. Mimi contemplates.
"Tell Phillip the marriage is over," says Shawn. Belle tells Phillip she thinks there is something he's not telling her. He will tell her when he gets home. "No, I want to know now and I want to know the truth." OK, he'll tell her. He's going on special assignment, "But remember I'm part of the most well-trained, best equipped force in the world." Yeah, a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link. Mr. weak-link tells her he'll be OK. He has to go. The mission of death awaits, "What did you have to tell me?"
Brandon wishes he could tell them Kate set them up, "I wish I could, but all I know is I woke up NAKED IN BED with you and I don't know how I got there." Kate says this is pathetic. Not only has Sami broken her son's heart, but now she is trying to turn it against Kate, "I was with John all night." Lucas tells Sami, "I don't know what the truth is, but I do know you decided to go see Brandon the night before our wedding of your own free will." Sami begs him not to throw away their dreams, "Please give me another chance."
Jennifer says, "I know Sami is Bo's niece, but she wreaks havoc everywhere she goes,"
"Sounds like someone else we know," says Hope, "When Bo gets home tonight, it's just going to be the two of us." Jennifer says Bo will be grateful to get Billie out of his hair. She'll get settled and won't even have a chance to call him for help. "That's one telephone call Bo wouldn't even think of answering," says Hope.
Crack attorney Mickey requests a recess to confer with his client. Hanging-judge Shay grants a two minute recess. Mickey asks Billie where Kate is. Billie doesn't know. "I'd take you in myself, says Mickey, "but..." Yeah, a Ménage à trois is enough for Mickey, "There is nothing I can do unless you can make some arrangement like you did last night."
Billie turns to Bo, "You know I wouldn't ask if it weren't for Georgia."
Shay calls the court back into action, "Counsel, do you have anything to add?" Yes, he does. Billie gives Bo the eyes and smiles. Bo sweats.
Phillip says, "I'm sorry we didn't get to talk at the air base. But I love you so much. I think about you every minute. You are the shining light at the end of the tunnel that will get me through whatever I have to do here." Shawn coaxes her to tell him. The commanding officer comes in, "Time to move out."
This is the happiest day of Mimi's life. Rex says, "The happiest day of my life will be when we say I do."
"I just hope you feel that way when you find out what I've done," thinks Mimi.
"I don't want to start out our marriage with any secrets," says Mimi. Of course, the Dr. comes in. Rex tells her she's not interrupting, "We just got engaged. We can't wait to get married and start a family." The Dr. gets that look of death on her face, "That's wonderful..." Mimi picks up on it, "You have news, don't you? And it's not good." Group stare.
Phillip tells Belle he has to go, "I love you Belle, Goodbye." He hangs up. Shawn goes nuts. "I couldn't tell him, I'm sorry," says Belle.
"Where does that leave us," asks Shawn.
Bumbling Bo comes home. Jennifer has to go. She doesn't like being around nuclear explosions. Hope begins to undress Bo as he tells her the sad story. He goes to the door, "Heeerrreee'sss Billie!"
Sami begs for another chance. Lucas won't relent. He dramatically tears up their marriage license.
Fade to Alice.
"Poor Sami. Something tells me her trials and tribulations are just beginning. But you may ask what more can possibly happen to the girl, or to any of us. Well stay tuned and find out, as we begin our next 10,000 episodes tomorrow. Until then goodbye, and bless you." Pan through pictures of Tom & Alice, Abe & Lexi, and other characters as the theme song swells. Alice stares.

Sami bawls, "Please tell them what you did to me." Kate says, "Sami's right."
"Rex will freak when he finds out," says Mimi. "Find out about what," asks Rex.
Bo asks Hope, "You really think you're going to lose me to Billie?"
Jennifer says, "If I were Hope, I wouldn't trust Billie either." Billie walks in.
Please plan to watch Days Of Our Lives episode 20,000, scheduled for May 21, 2045. Please note this day is tentative since it is impossible to know how many times the network will pre-empt the show with a gripping news bulletin about the President's hangnail."
