Days of Our Lives
Friday, April 15, 2016
A new day in Salem, revealing aftermaths, repercussion. A slow show, but a few good scenes. Eric is waking up, an empty vodka bottle on the floor. He is not in good shape, moaning a bit, then realizes he is late for his sentencing. He gets out of bed. Then we see Jennifer slowly wake up, obviously a bit hung over, she checks her phone, doesn't like what she sees, hears a phone buzzing, it is Eric's, she realizes what is going on. First a very hazy, out of focus flashback of her & Eric getting it on.
Over at the courthouse, Marlena, Roman, John & Belle are getting worried, as Eric is late, the judge is not going to be happy. Roman keeps calling Eric's cell to no avail, is about to send squads out, when Eric walks in. Everyone can tell he is hung over, Roman reads him a riot act, Eric doesn't want to hear it, yes he went drinking, since it was his last night of freedom. Roman is having a fit, he shows for for sentencing involving a DUI, reeking of booze and breath mints. He takes him to another room where he has a clean shirt, wants to get him cleaned up.
Now Jen comes rushing in, has Eric's phone, asks if he is in court. Marlena asks what she is doing there, how does she have his phone. Jen hesitates, stumbles as she tries to say, Eric did not want to be alone, we..uh, he..uh. Marlena drags her into a room where they can be private, and lets her have it. She is yelling, what is wrong with you, you let him get drunk, helped him to get drunk the day before sentencing, I suppose you also got drunk...or was it the painkillers. Oh, I know, Eric told me, wanted me to keep an eye on you. Jen is ashamed, embarrassed, with no excuses. Roman brings Eric out, everyone wants to go into the courtroom, Eric doesn't want them there. John knows the place will be crawling with press & media, so Eric says his good byes to John, to Jen (asking her to please get off the pills...she will try), to his father, apologizing for not being a good son, but promising to spend his time turning back into the son he raised. (These are very good scenes). Finally, he says good bye to his mother, telling her he knows she is going to say how disappointed she is in him. No, she only wants to tell him how much she loves him. He & Belle go to the courtroom.
Theresa comes out in the living room, makes a lot of noise, opens the drapes, Summer awakens. Theresa is very sarcastic, but tells Summer off, for her "poor little me" act, playing on Brady's sympathy, Theresa is wise to her, has done lying and manipulating herself. She gives Summer both barrels, Summer denies right and left, but Theresa wants her gone, and out of their lives.
Later, Brady comes home, first thing asking where's Summer (who slept on their sofa) but Theresa says she is taking a shower before leaving. Brady is all poor Summer, Theresa is not having any of it, Summer comes out, appears reluctant, but finally tells what Maggie said to her (flashbacks) Brady tries to tell her how this a.m. Maggie asked about Summer first thing. Theresa gets ticked, reminds them both, especially Summer, that Maggie's husband has had a heart attack, while Maggie herself has had surgery, unsure if she will be paralyzed for life, so any pain in Maggie's eyes would be from that. She tells Summer to stop being so full of herself. Summer finally leaves, Brady lights into Theresa, who defends herself, tries to make him see how Summer is manipulating him, but Brady feels sorry for Summer, & wonders exactly when Theresa is going to stop feeling so insecure.
Philip is at Victor's bedside, Fynn comes in, Phil wants to leave before Vic wakes up, as he has a fit if he sees Philip. Fynn leaves, but Vic wakes up before Phil can exit, more or less telling him to get out. They have a few words, Phil tries to see Maggie for him, but they are going to do an assessment. Vic chases him out, but says if he wants forgiveness, then destroy Deimos. Phil leaves, Victor removes all his monitor attachments, and dons a robe to go see Maggie.
Earlier, Brady had comes to see her, but didn't stay long, Maggie was tired, and would not tell him what happened between her & Summer last night. Now Maggie opens her eyes to find Victor there, he knows she is upset about something, but she won't tell him. He pesters, but she brushes it off. Fynn comes in, ordering Victor back to bed. Vic leaves, but stops just outside the open door, listening as Fynn does another test on both of Maggie's legs, to see if she feels anything. She doesn't, and bursts into tears, ...saying she will never walk again.
At the courthouse, Roman gets the call, Eric was given 5 years. Marlena bursts into tears, John holds her, Jen's eyes tear up.
And then we see chained legs, getting aboard the jail bus. (yes, folks, a real one). Three other men, one in an orange jump suit also get aboard, shuffle to the back, sit on the bench, hands in cuffs, in addition to the leg cuffs. A cop comes, and locks each man's legs to a long chain, then goes and sits at the front. The men sit in silence, as the huge vehicle starts up, the driver pulling out, then the camera is on Eric, as the vehicle seems to bump up and down, his body jumping a bit with each bump.
