Lexie catches Marlena and blurts out about Tony wanting to punish Larry before stopping herself. Tony walks in and looks back with a smile as Marlena and Lexie watch him. Marlena softly talks to Tony and asks him to leave Larry Welch alone. If he won't do it for Rex and Cassie, then to do it for her. Rubbing his forehead and clearly smitten, he tells her very well. Tony asks Abe to give Larry Welch a message for him before he returns to the courtroom. He asks him to tell Welch "that today is his lucky day". A confused Abe is encouraged by Lexie to do as Tony asks and Abe agrees. Abe joins Welch and asks if he's decided what to do. He gives him Tony's message and we see Larry's expression change at the news.Victor joins Nicole and tells Kate to leave his wife alone. Roman escorts Kate to their seat and she tells him that Victor and Nicole are up to something. Bo tells Hope something's going on here and he's going to find out what. Victor tells a nervous Nicole to shut up and show some dignity and act like a Kiriakis. Court is resumed and Larry looks out over the courtroom as he announces he'll accept the deal and pleading guilty to the kidnapping of Hope Brady and her son, two counts of attempted murder of Hope Brady and Belle Black and the 2nd degree murder of Colin Murphy. Hope covers her eyes in relief and Tony smiles, knowing Victor feels he did it for him and will now be in his debt. Larry begs for the courts mercy in determining his fate being he came forward to plead guilty. He'd like the court to leave a possibility of parole in his sentence. Later the judge signs her verdict. Two terms of life in prison to be served consecutively and therefore no chance of parole. Larry and Hope exchange looks as Bo whispers it's over in her ear. He suggests they go celebrate that they'll never have to see Larry again as Larry watches while being taken out. When the door shuts, Bo and Hope both say buh bye and hug and kiss. From March 2003.
