Sami lays on the bed in tears, then picks up the mail packet, looks at a few, then grabs one, tears it open, a letter from EJ. She reads it aloud. "If you are reading this, then I am dead, and the person who is responsible is my father. . I have given this letter to a lawyer who is to get it to you within a year of my death. He encloses a key to a safety deposit box (I think he said Zurich) where he has left his final gift to her. Plus an address. Sami folds the letter, grabs her purse and is hurrying out. Marlena stops her, Sami makes excuses, but in walks Sonny. She & Sonny tearfully embrace, she is so glad to see him. But, she quickly resumes her rush out the door, telling Sonny to just talk to her mom (he has questions).
Earlier, at the apartment, he opens the door to find Paul, who heard he was in town, figured he would come there. Sonny begins just talking, saying how everyone wants to help, how the apartment looks the same as it did when he left, despite so many who must have been there, in and out, taking things. No, he has not seen Arianna yet, could not handle that, just his parents. Paul has offered his condolences, Sonny is breaking down.
Stefano is telling the comatose Chad to fight, fight hard, he cannot lose another child. Rafe arrives, has a few questions. Stefano is ticked off, but Rafe said he could have made him come to the station, but figured to make it easier for Stefano so came there. He asks a few questions about when Stefano saw Chad the night Serena was killed, the argument that sent Chad out drinking, whether he or any of the servants saw Chad later. Stefano is abrupt, tells Rafe to ask them.
Abby comes home, calling out for Ben, no answer. She spies a piece of broken something, (a vase??) picks it up, murmurs "Chad". Ben comes out, asking why she said Chad's name. She said she can't stop thinking of the two of them fighting, glad Ben wasn't hurt (he says he is tough). She found the broken piece, glad no one stepped on it with bare feet, thought she had cleaned everything up, but must have missed this.
Rafe arrives with some questions for Ben, Abby leaves to take some papers down to work. Ben figures he already gave his statement, but Rafe just has a couple. He asks about Chad coming there, his attitude, swinging the first punch. While Rafe asks a question or two, Ben starts having flashbacks to the entire thing, you can see him getting angry as he talking about Chad raving, saying over and over she is not yours. Ben even appears to be snarling at times as he talks of Chad, but is actually describing himself. Rafe thanks him, is leaving, and then pulls the oh, so familiar Columbo move, where he is nearly out the door, turns, "oh, one more thing". LOL. Rafe comments at how Chad & Abby were not dating at all when she & Ben began dating, and they have been doing so for a year now. So..why would Chad suddenly decide he wanted her back. Why now? You have been together nearly a year, a baby on the way. Ben shrugs, guess he just could not accept it. Just built up, more and more. Rafe quietly makes a couple more comments in the same vein, then leaves. When Ben closes the door, he exhales deeply, has his hand over his mouth, ponders. He looks at a framed photo of him & Abby, then punches it, the glass is shattered all over the area of his face.
Sami runs into Eric, is glad to see him. Usually she would go see Gramma, but she cannot know Sami is in town, or why. Eric is concerned, keeps asking questions, Sami makes him swear to keep it between them, shows him the letter, wanting him to be objective now. Eric looks it over, says it could be a forgery. She denies this, EJ refers to things that meant something to them both, that no one else would know. Eric reminds her they were living in DiMansion, where Stefano has eyes and ears everywhere. He could be setting her up for something. He tells her not to be so taken in, to be objective herself. They talk of Stefano, how he did not like EJ and Sami being together. She is talking of Stefano being responsible for the deaths of EJ and Will. She'd like to strangle him. Eric holds her, her head on his shoulder. tells her to remember why she is there in Salem. Yes, she is there to bury her son tomorrow.
Sonny sits on a bench in the park, Paul is out running, sees him, stops, assures Sonny he is not stalking him. Sonny knows Paul likes to run at this time of evening. Sonny sits, asks Sonny what he is going to do......after the funeral. Sonny says he will return to Paris. Paul mentions Arianna, but Sonny says she is just 2 years old, and he cannot be there for a few days, a week, a month, then leave. She would not understand. They have a nice talk, Sonny thanks him, gets up and walks away.
Abby is at the hospital, and there is Sonny. They hug, talk a bit of Will. Sonny asks if "that" is Chad's room. Yes, he is going to be arrested when he wakes up. Sonny doesn't understand. Chad is his best friend. He was Will's best friend. How could this happen, it doesn't make sense.
Later, Abby is leaving, she looks in the window at Chad, mutters no, Chad cannot be that monster. The guard says pardon me. Nothing, Abby leaves, is at the elevator, and there comes Stefano. Stay away from my son. Abby tells him she helped Chad, she believed in him, found him a place to hide, Stefano listens, then waves his hand at his aide, who wheels him on to the elevator.
At home, Stefano & Andre' are playing chess. Andre' comments that they should hope Chad remains in a coma, at least until they have a way to get him safely out of the hospital and hidden away. Stefano listens...then makes a chess move, apparently taking Andre's king. He chuckles, holds up the chess piece, saying that there IS a 3rd option.

It played out exactly as I thought. Not even Sonny could salvage her scenes.I found myself switching channels while she was on. Something I have not done in months. Today's scenes also confirmed to me that future visits or whatever are unnecessary. ( Not talking about any spoilers in particular)
This whole EJ letter thing is so ill-conceived, poorly timed, and completely unnecessary. Stefano certainly has done his fair share of horrible things but just because EJ penned a letter at some point prior to his death saying Stefano is responsible for his death does not make it so. And I'm sorry, if someone is going to pull one over on Stefano and finally do him in, it need not be Sami. It should be John and Marlena, with a side of Roman, Bo, Hope, Steve. This whole thing has left a very sour taste in my mouth and at this point Sami can stay gone from Salem forever in search of her lovey-dovey smoochie-woochie. BYE!
