As the episode drew to a close, the screen faded to black following a poignant moment between Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) and Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord). An “In Memoriam” tribute appeared, featuring the heartfelt message “In Loving Memory” alongside a photo of Hogestyn; his memory resonated throughout the episode, since much of the dialogue centered on John Black.
The storyline took a turn when Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) returned from Paris with surprising news for Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall).
He revealed that the woman Chad had married was not Abigail, but rather a woman named Catherina, affectionately known as “Cat.” Cat not only opened up to Chad but also revealed that her name comes from her mother, Catherina Meleounis, who is the daughter of Konstantin Meleounis (John Kapelos).

Overjoyed, Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) reached out to John, eager to share the wonderful news she believed would finally lift the burden of guilt he’d been shouldering.
John had struggled with guilt over killing Catherina ever since Konstantin set his revenge scheme in motion, trying to revert him to the Pawn. Hogestyn, known for his iconic role as John Black for almost four decades, sadly passed away on September 28, 2024; the cherished actor’s last appearance on screen was on September 9.

She also mentioned that John had discovered something significant that he was still trying to understand, promising to update Eric on it later. When Eric inquired if everything was alright, Marlena’s response was unexpectedly heartfelt; “Everything is more than okay. It feels like we’ve experienced a little miracle.”
