They are both drowning their sorrows over their recent troubles, but a drunken bonding between Chad (Billy Flynn) and Serena (Melissa Archer) will suddenly take a horrible turn on Days of Our Lives.

Theresa's Plot Has Dire Consequences For Xander

The unthinkable will happen after the two continue getting wasted at the club as they brood over their respective downfalls. Serena is mourning the loss of any sort of relationship with Eric (Greg Vaughn), as well as the $250,000 she was supposed to get from smuggling blood diamonds, which she had to pay to Nicole (Arianne Zucker) in her civil suit. Chad, meanwhile, is still upset over losing Abigail (Kate Mansi) to Ben (Robert Scott Wilson) for good because she is pregnant, and the fact that Stefano (Joseph Mascolo) has disowned him because he revealed the truth about the Irish land to Abigail and betrayed his father.

They've bonded over their losses together, but things could quickly turn South after both reach a blackout level status from their drinking-and when Chad awakens from his stupor he will realize something horrible has happened -- and Serena is dead.
