Max arrives only after Crawford Decker left, having succeeded in making Chelsea and Steph break down and confess their homicide, albeit without mentioning their noble accomplice. The Salem police willingly looks away while Marlena first tries to drag the truth out of Stefano by serum or blackmail, then administers him a cocktail promised to keep him captured frozen in his own flesh for life. meanwhile the Brady conspiracy intends to let Shawn off the hook for intrusion and beating Rob McCullough viciously, while the victim remains arrested without ground and is taunted as a hostile witness.
