Whatever the reason Bo and Jack do return, it sets up some good, old-fashioned Salem reunion scenes when they return.
Hope: "Bo, how dare you disappear to work for the ISA! Everyone knows its chances of "bringing down" the DiMeras are even worse than my police force!!
Ciara: "Daddy, you were very bad running off like that, but you can make it up to me with a visit to the Baron's jewelry counter."
Jen Jen (ranting): "Jack, don't you ever get tired of disappearing without notice. And don't tell me that you had amnesia. Only John Black ever really gets amnesia!
Love Doctor: "Jack, glad you're back. This time, they'll be no competition for Jennifer. You can take her, please!"
Eve: "OK, Jack, now that you're back, you can get off your butt and start promoting your book. If the royalties dry up, I might have to start to work for a living. And, by the way, tell your son to find a new girlfriend."
Zoe Browning: "Mr. Deveraux, it's good to meet you. Would you consider writing for Sonix? My readers are complaining that the articles by Will Horton are badly-written trash."
