In the final episode of Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem Chapter Two we were left with a chilly cliffhanger, and we will get to that in a moment.
However for starters, the fifth installment gave several members in the ensemble cast some heart-tugging and emotional moments including: Kristian Alfonso (Hope), Victoria Konefal (Ciara), Steve Burton (Harris), and Christopher Sean (Paul).
In story, a doctor and nurse are talking about a cryogenic capsule with the DiMera Enterprises label on it. The doctor shares that when Megan (Miranda Wilson) has all three prisms, they should be able to bring the patient back to life. The nurse has concerns over the patients brain tumor in the capsule. The doctor explains the prisms collectively will help treat ‘him’. We were to believe, at first, this was Stefano? But, clearly it has to be Bo (Peter Reckell)!

Meanwhile, Megan is in Montreal, having revealed herself to Hope! She tells Harris to grab the prism out of Hope’s cleavage. After he does what he is told, she then tells Harris to shoot Hope! He pulls the gun on Hope. Now, Harris is welling up with tears. Does he love Hope Williams Brady, like, for real? Next thing you know, he passes out and Megan takes off.
Harris, who has now been arrested, gets a visitor, and it’s none other than Hope. She wants him to sign divorce papers, while he gets emotional. He apologizes to Hope, saying Megan ordered him to kill her, but that he did not want to. Hope is not buying it and furious that Harris kidnapped Steve (Stephen Nichols) and John (Drake Hogestyn) and John is MIA. Harris says he thinks Megan did something to change him and that he wasn’t always like this. Hope says she will speak to the ISA and Shane Donovan on his behalf and heads out.
At the gala in Hong Kong, Wendy (Victoria Grace) is held captive by a trance-like John and Steve. Li (Remington Hoffman) then gives John the prism. Joey (Tanner Stine) and Tripp (Lucas Adams) manage to out maneuver Steve as Li holds the gun on him. However, John has taken off. Later, Marlena (Deidre Hall) injects a captured Steve to try to get him ready for some hypnosis to undo his brainwashing as Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) looks on.

Now in Caracas, John shows up at Megan’s with the prism. She adds the prism to the other two to make it perfect, and to enable her to help revive the cryogenic patient. Just then, Andrew (Colton Little) and Paul bust in with guns in tow. Megan directs John to kill them. Next, comes a showdown between Paul and John as Paul tries to talk John into remembering him, and the father/son relationship they have. It begins to work on John, but as he is starting to remember, Megan fills the room with gas and escapes with the three prisms wearing a gas mask. Later, after Andrew and Paul wake up, and make sure each other is O.K., they check on John who is now back to his normal self.

On the docks, Hope says a final farewell to Ciara and Ben (Rob Scott Wilson). Before they part ways, Hope hears, “Tonight I Celebrate My Love For You” playing from the boat. It brings her to tears, and to flashbacks of her time dancing in heaven with Bo.
Elsewhere, Andrew comes to say goodbye to Paul before he heads back from San Francisco to D.C. The two share a passionate kiss.

In heaven, Angela (Loretta Devine) has some unbelievable news for Bo! Because he gave his ‘second chance’ to Hope, he is going to get a ‘second, second chance’. Bo does not know exactly what that means! But we do, right?
As Beyond Salem Chapter Two comes to its conclusion, Megan is with the doctor next to the cryogenic chamber frustrated that even with all three prisms they haven’t worked yet. The doctors tells her the body inside has been in this state for years and that she needs to be patient. It is then, Megan reveals that she has been patient for forty years and she wants to be reunited with the love of her life. After everyone has left the room, the cryogenic chamber door opens. We see what appears to be an alive Bo Brady! Did the prisms and Megan’s plan resurrect him … or will that be short-lived? Credits roll . .. and this edition of ‘Beyond Salem’ leaves us with a major heart-stopping cliffhanger!
