On June 12, Days of Our Lives showcased heartfelt scenes as characters honored the memory of John Black, finding comfort in one another during sorrowful times. A group consisting of Marlena, Steve, Roman, and others convened at the Brady Pub for John’s memorial service. Simultaneously, Jennifer and Julie mourned Abigail and Doug. Meanwhile, Bo and Hope reminisced about their past as they strolled through Salem hand in hand.
Jack honors Abigail as Jennifer mourns Doug and John
Jack went to Abigail’s grave, laid flowers there and asked her to accept John into heaven. Meanwhile, Julie came back home and saw Jennifer feeling upset on the day marking Abigail’s passing. Instead of attending John’s funeral, Jennifer chose to stay with family and discuss how she’s dealing with losing Doug and John so soon after each other. Julie offered comfort to her, reminding Jennifer to focus on the good things they still have left.
Later on, Hope arrived, and the trio shared a warm hug. Jennifer stepped out to buy some ice cream, allowing Julie and Hope to chat about Jennifer’s resilience. Hope confessed that she felt a pang of guilt for rejoicing in Bo’s comeback amidst her sorrow for John, but Julie comforted her, explaining it was perfectly acceptable to be both grateful and grieving.
While enjoying their ice cream, Julie reminisced about persuading Bo not to abandon Hope during their trip to Paris long ago. The discussion then shifted towards nostalgic moments from the Cruise of Deception, where Jennifer admitted finding her one true love in Jack. A brief flashback appeared, depicting Jack and Jennifer on the island. Jennifer suggested that Jack get some rest while she kept watch over Hope instead.
Later on, Hope and Jennifer delved into the enigmatic necklace Doug had acquired. Jennifer had been investigating it already, and Hope proposed assistance. However, Julie intervened, causing Jennifer to retire for the night. In turn, Hope and Julie conversed about embarking on a new phase with Bo and the sense of gratitude that accompanies second chances.
John’s wake at the Brady pub
In the local tavern, Steve was the one pouring drinks while Bo sat down with Marlena, Steve, Kayla, Roman, and Shane. Steve raised a toast to John Black, expressing him as the most exceptional man he had ever encountered. As memories flooded back for Marlena, snippets of John’s life unfolded, showcasing significant events such as his stint as The Pawn, Marlena assisting him, and their journey through West Virginia.
As I delved into memories, I couldn’t help but revisit old adversaries such as Stefano and Orpheus, reminding myself of the moment John and Marlena found their love. Shane brought up his son Andrew’s forthcoming nuptials with John’s son, Paul. Roman took a step back to reach out to Kate, and Marlena trailed behind to console him. We spoke candidly about the hurt inflicted by Stefano, shared a touching embrace, and found solace in each other’s arms.
Steve discussed with John their annual custom of identifying foes. Their community followed suit, reminiscing about Orpheus’ act of vengeance. They offered comfort through encouraging words, shared recollections, and memories, such as Marlena’s spiritual takeover.
Marlena says goodbye
As the night wound down, Bo discussed a potential new trio – himself, Hope, and Steve – with Steve. Shane bid farewell, and Bo expressed gratitude to Roman for managing the pub. Alone with Marlena, she apologized once more for their past. Roman informed her he’d moved forward and valued the friendship he nurtured with John.
As the episode ended, Marlena walked out of the pub by herself. She gazed at the heavens, her eyes glistening with tears, as memories of her resurrection flooded back. In a poignant farewell, she bid adieu in a manner that was uniquely hers, surrounded by an air of tranquil sentiment.
