Episode #11,330 Taped 3/10 Director – Herb Stein
For a Friday episode during sweeps month, rather slow moving show today. Melanie comes onto the floor, spots Nathan & Stephanie being totally unprofessional, as they kiss and carry on. She is so distracted by the spectacle, she doesn’t notice Maxine come up behind her, glad to see her. Maxine sends her to get some info from a new patient named Rae, a homeless woman. In the room, we see, of course, that Rae is the bag lady who found Stephanie’s pills, and is now fingering them, putting them back in her bag when Mel walks in. Evidently Rae has a problem with her foot, been bothering her for a few days, and in case we were not paying attention, the camera zooms in on that pill container with Stephanie’s name emblazoned on the front a few times. Melanie says she has to check her bag of stuff, finds two pill containers, Rae says she gets headaches sometimes and takes whatever she can find. Melanie doesn’t think the pills in this container would be much good for a headache….unless perhaps she did not want to get pregnant. Rae smiles, she doesn’t even have a boyfriend, just thought the container was pretty and she could put something else in it. Here comes Dr. Horton to take Rae for treatment, and look, Stephanie is with him. Rae asks if she is a nurse…..nope, just there to get things started for social services. (Gee, wasn’t she in the P.R. office?? Guess she wears a lot of hats at Salem Hospital). Nathan leaves with Rae, Melanie stops Stephanie, shows her the pills. Stephanie claims to have lost them, must have fallen out of her purse. Yeah, right into the trash basket at the pier. Melanie says trying to trick Nathan by having him father her baby is not right. Stephanie denies it, none of Mel’s business. Nathan comes in, Melanie leaves.
In Brady’s room, Victor is visiting, Brady is feeling better, has had a lot of company, not getting much rest. Victor promises whoever did this will pay, talks of the person choosing rich and powerful men, and now putting their mark on Brady. He wants them all to get together and work with Salem PD to zero in on the mugger. Maggie comes in (gosh she looks so beautiful) small talk. Now Melanie pops in to get vitals, Victor & Maggie leave, with Maggie asking Victor to drive her home, she wants to talk to him.
Melanie takes his pulse, is fine, Brady is gonna live, smiles as he says he is relieved, but Melanie goes for a big hug, she was so worried about him. Brady can see something is bugging Melanie, she tells him about Stephanie & the pills, he strongly advises her not to get involved in another couple’s business, something he learned the hard way. She leaves. Now Stephanie pops in…for all of about 30 seconds. She asks why Brady is looking at her so oddly, guesses immediately Melanie has told him something about her, he only says Melanie is very concerned, Stephanie says her good-byes, will be back again.
Melanie find Nathan taking a break in the doctor’s lounge. Sits down next to him, and you can see her wrestling with herself as to telling Nathan or not.
At DiMansion, Sami is telling a rather surprised EJ that he kissed her, after the mugging, he was trying to get up, she was trying to keep him still. He is apologetic, can’t remember, but sorry if he was out of line. She assures him it was nothing. They go back and forth about it, finally agreeing that all is cool between them, Sami is no longer uncomfortable about staying there, since they got the big elephant out of the room, or at least off in the corner. She wonders if there is room for them all, being the elephant is so big, EJ grins, says Fatha has a preserve out back. Now EJ talks of going for a swim, something about his shoulder, and Lexie telling him he has to do 100 laps…or she is sending him to a therapist. He invites Sami, who declines, saying it is May, cold. EJ proclaims the water, tho, is 80°. She is not going to put on a bathing suit in front of everyone, he says why not, she is beautiful. Yada, yada. Johnny comes running in, wanting to go swimming, EJ scoops him up as Sami protests that he cannot go in the pool, Daddy has a bad shoulder. EJ laughs, cuz that means Mommy is going to have to come and supervise.
And so later, they all come back in the room, dripping wet, Sami sending Johnny up to get dry clothes from Mary. EJ gives her a robe as she is shivering a bit. (Sami has a big towel around the waist and a halter top). Barechested EJ goes to put a robe on himself, complains about that shoulder, talks of needing a massage, Sami offers to help get the knot out…….seems she went to massage school at some point (I don’t seem to remember that!!!) but never completed the course, there was an incident of some kind. She laughs. EJ complains she is hurting him, and now he knows how she really feels about him. He laughs, making her stop. She figures she was being to hard, and begins to knead the muscle again, he says it feels better, She is behind him, he turns, and their faces grow closer.
Maggie & Victor arrive at her place, she thanks him, saying Philip had driven her to the hospital, usually she drives herself. She tells Victor she is sorry for the strained relations between him & Philip, could see as Victor was with Brady how much his family means to him, and if he likes, she will try to help him mend fences with Philip and with Melanie. Victor thanks her, it means a lot. She has given him a cup of coffee, her hand begins shaking as she is putting the pot down, Victor gets concerned, Maggie says she is fine, but then slumps down unconscious in Victor’s arms.
And now let’s go to wherever South Sea spa Anna & Calliope are enjoying themselves, and tune back into Anna deciding to tell all to her good friend. We get only bits and pieces, and I guarantee you, to hear Calliope repeating the “condensed” version of Anna’s tale of woe is just too much. Anna starts with her happy life with Tony, being out of town when Stefano phone her with the news Tony was gone, how Anna left Salem after giving Stefano a piece of her mind, but taking nothing. Only later deciding she would get her share of Tony’s inheritance and brags of hitting the DiMeras for ransom. Then comes the story of little Miss Sydney, (Calliope mistakenly thinks this is Stefano’s wife, lol) Anna raves about this darling baby, explains the birth, Nicole, the switch, Both ladies are getting a bit tipsy, sipping on their umbrella drinks, as Anna goes on and on about how she figures EJ still cares about Sami. Calliope finally says she has to go, a hair appt. and leaves.
When she gets back to Rafe, she is done, through, etc. but he tells her no. She figures he has the info he needs, she cannot do any more with her good friend. Rafe reminds her that Anna kidnapped a baby…..that is horrible. Calliope agrees, cannot believe Anna would do that, and Rafe definitely agrees to that. Tells Calliope he thinks she was working with someone, that somebody else thought this scheme up, that Anna herself would not do this. He talks of being patriotic, loving their country, wanting justice, etc. Knows Calliope feels the same way, urges her to return. Ah, she does, claiming her roots can wait, her friend is more important. She goes on about it being 2 decades since they saw each other, Anna talks of what a relief it was to get all that off her chest. Calliope figures there is more, can’t believe Anna really kidnapped a child, urging her to tell all, wondering who put her up to it. Anna draws back, asking Calliope what is with so many questions, it’s almost as if you are grilling me.
