10-31-2017 (Tuesday) A Creepy Night in Salem

Chad and Abby talk about how much fun they had trick or treating with Thomas; she says she can’t wait for next year.  Chad checks his phone; Abby asks why.  He says, “it’s Ben.”  Rafe tries to scare Hope, but his attempt fails; she recognizes his after shave.  JJ and Lani return to the police station to tell Hope and Rafe that Ben escaped; we see someone dressed in scrubs, mask and all, exit the hospital elevator, but are then directed to a conversation between Kayla and Steve.  Of course he is dressed like a cowboy; he says he is going to check on the Pub and asks Kayla to meet him there when she gets off work.  She says she just wants to go home; Halloween isn’t her favorite night after being locked in a coffin last year.  Steve tells her it’s okay because “he’s dead, and the dead are going to stay dead.”    Ben pulls down his mask after entering the morgue; he calls a dead man “sleeping beauty” and pulls out a syringe.

The man who bit down on the cyanide tablet yesterday (Rolf) wakes with a start; he asks who Ben is… he says, “I’m Clyde Weston’s son.”  He tells this man, his dad told him he brought Will Horton back to life and he has a whole list of people he wants him to work his magic on.  Next thing we see, this newly resurrected man is at the graveyard, digging up someone’s grave.  Rafe gets a call from some kids who saw a man in the cemetery ‘disturbing’ a grave; he and Hope go to check it out.  Kayla scares Steve when she shows up at the Pub after all; Steve gets them each a beer.  She talks about not taking life for granted and tells him he has made her happier than she ever expected to be; they kiss.  She is acting weird, he says; she does seem nervous.  A policeman knocks on the door; he tells Steve that his wife was strangled to death tonight.  Steve laughs and says his wife is right here, but when he turns to look, Kayla is gone.

Rafe and Hope stop the man; it is Rolf – Hope is surprised, but he tells her his “return from the dead should not be that big a surprise.”  He speaks into his watch, “activate the satellite” and Hope falls to the ground, eyes closed; when she wakes up, she thinks she is someone else, “Princess Gina.”  JJ, while standing in the Square, thinks about the day he met Page; all of the sudden, she is standing in front of him.  He asks if it’s really her; she says it is.  He hugs her; he says there were so many things he wanted to tell her… if only they had more time.  Lani returns and asks who this is; he, excitedly, tells her this is Page.  Lani just seems irritated; she tells Page she is JJ’s girlfriend and Page gets angry that he “cheated on” her again.  She looks over and sees a pitchfork, and grabs it; she stabs Lani in the stomach.  JJ holds Lani and asks Page how she could have done that; she just laughs and says he’ll have to be faithful to her if they are going to be together again.  She asks him to make love to her, but he pushes her away.  She pulls out Lani’s gun and shoots JJ.

Hope is talking in an accent, she says she despises Hope and tells Rafe not to touch her; Rafe can’t figure out what is going on.  The officer takes Steve to the morgue, where we are shown Kayla on a steel bed; he starts crying.  He hears Ben’s voice; he turns to see him standing there.  Ben says, “I’m really sorry.”  Steve grabs Ben by the throat and strangles him until he stops fighting and falls to the floor.  “Princess Gina” grabs Rafe’s gun and ties Rafe to a bench; she threatens to shoot him, but Rolf says he has another plan.  He gives her two lipsticks; one that is a “protective coating” for her, and the other which is deadly poison.  She gripes about it being “orange” but puts it on anyway; Rafe begs Hope to “come out.”  She kisses him; he dies.  She starts feeling back, saying she can feel Hope still inside of her, and she remembers things… Hope returns to her own psyche and gets upset that Rafe is dead.

Chad calls out to Abigail and surprised when Serena answers instead; he thinks she’s a hallucination.  She says, “weird, isn’t it?”  She looks in the mirror and says she looks pretty good for being a couple years dead, claiming she came straight from the cemetery.  She blames him for her death, saying if he hadn’t chased after her, Ben wouldn’t have killed her.  Abigail comes in and asks who she is; Chad tells her.  Serena says she came to “make things right,” adding, she will get to Ben Weston later.  She jumps on Chad and starts to choke him, then slams his head into the coffee table.  Abby checks Chad and says, “you killed him.”  Serena laughs and tells her “too bad.”  She picks up a statue and throws it at Abigail; Abigail wakes with a start.  It was all HER bad dream.  Hope and Rafe, Lani and JJ sip coffee at the station, talking about what a quiet night it’s been, and Kayla comes home to Steve, saying it wasn’t a bad night at all.
