A gunman targets Victor at Fisherman’s Village as Carly tries to stop him securing Bo’s cure. Victor is shot and the serum destroyed, but Carly salvages a vial and, with Marcus and Kayla, reconstructs the missing element before risking Bo’s life on the experimental cure. Lawrence secretly engineers the chaos. Jack and Jennifer craft a humorous Hoffa cover story to protect the investigation. Marlena awakens from a five‑year coma, learns it’s 1991, escapes the hospital, and hides in a cargo crate bound for Miami—where Roman is shopping for an engagement ring for Isabella, who misses her flight due to the shooting.
