Episode #11,410 Taped /25 Director – Phil Sogard
Boy, another rather riveting episode. Maggie has come to the Kmansion, wanting to see Brady, who is not there, Victor has no idea, but realizes Maggie is worried about him, even tho, as his sponsor, she cannot talk about him with Victor. The speak in generalities about addictive personalities a bit, then Maggie tells him she is planning to go on a trip, which is why she wanted to see Brady. She talks of not wanting to go anywhere she & Mickey ever went for months after he died. Victor jokes it must have been hard to find a restaurant in town, she smiles…telling of not even being able to sit at the kitchen table, of eating Thai food standing up at the counter…..Mickey hated Thai food. Victor gets a call, asks if it is a fact, tells Maggie to excuse him, it is business, and he has to go.
Stefano & Kate sit in the Pub, he is anxious to leave for the yacht which is ready…she doesn’t want to go until they talk. More conversation about losing grandchildren, Stefano assuring Kate all is going to be well. She wants to know what sort of plan Stefano & EJ have cooked up, he claims there is none. She thinks he is trying to get her out of the way, flashes back to overhearing Elvis say he was gonna take the children and disappear, then tells Stefano that knowing EJ, she thinks he might just plan to grab the kids and vanish with them. Stefano assures her EJ is going no where, he is dead drunk, the kids are here upstairs, Sami is with Rafe, and EJ will do nothing tonight.
Vivian is with Gus in the mauseleum, waxing ecstatically over her plans for Maggie Horton. She has had a hole drilled for the straw, the one she intends to use to feed Maggie thin gruel laced with alcohol. (gruel??? What is this …Oliver!? LOLOL) Gus has found her a handwriting forger, she has some of Maggie’s tacky stationery so a note can be left to Victor, and perhaps a couple of her friends, Viv knows there is not many. Gus claims that folks will worry when Maggie doesn’t reach her destination…Viv claims she will, eventually, older, wizened, and unable to remember where she has been or what happened to her. Now she starts dictating into a recorder the letter to Victor that will come from Maggie….filled with flowery prose. Gus warns her Maggie was a plain spoken woman, would not write like that. Vivian starts anew, but is not very convincing.
Brady sits in the Cheatin’ Heart, boozing it up, Chloe walks in, joins him. She is surprised he is drinking, he claims it is not drugs, he is celebrating, asks what she wants, she says a gingerale. He asks if she is on the wagon …nope…she leans back a bit, touches her tummy, says she is “on the nest”. Brady is happy for her, knows she always wanted a baby and the chances were so slim. Some small talk, he mentions Nicole being out of his life again, Chloe tells him about Chloe being at her place, fearful for her life. Brady claims Nicole is always fearful for her life, warns Chloe not to let Nicole screw up things for her, that is what she does, reminding her how Nicole did things to Arianna and to Chloe herself. Yep, but Nicole was the only person she could talk to when she was having a rough patch with Daniel, she is her friend…again.
Over at the apartment Nicole is upset as the booze bottle is empty, there is not more. She is ranting a bit, Daniel comes out, warns her about behaving. Tells her she is there because she is Chloe’s friend, but if she causes a single disturbance for Chloe, Nicole will be out on her butt. So, Nicole is sorry, but calls George in, wanting him to call Rafe. Nope, he is off duty, will call in the morning. Daniel goes back to bed (not really) as now Nicole sits on the sofa, looking at some baby book, remembering how she read to Sydney. Daniel comes out to find Nicole in tears, she talks about Sydney, her life with her, her miscarriage, how glad she is Sydney is now safely away from EJ, but how her life is such a mess, all these things happen, but she has learned to survive. Just like a cat…she is going to land on her feet again. Chloe returns, gets filled in with a very brief version of the events…EJ kidnapped Sydney himself, Nicole learned about it, Sami knows, EJ knows Nicole is responsible for Sami knowing, is after her, already tried to kill her. (Chloe commented about there being 9 guys out there). Daniel & Chloe go off to bed, Nicole paces. She is having a total breakdown here.
At DiMansion, we have a replay of yesterday’s ending scenes. Sami calling for EJ, coming into the bedroom, finding him apparently asleep, turning away, remembering Kate’s phone call, EJ proclaiming he loved her, his phone call to her saying Sydney was dead. The voices come together quicker, over and over, She turns back to to EJ, picks up the gun that is in his hand, stands and fires. The sound of the shot is muffled, the gun must have a silencer. She stands there, and we see EJ, blood all around the ear, on his right side. Sami stands, seeming frozen, as EJ’s body seems to shudder, the glass he had in his other hand drops to the floor, and shatters. Sami is staring, turns away, seeing herself in the mirror, EJ behind her on the bed, she looks down at the gun in her hand, draws in a breath and rushes out.
Next, Sami is down at the pier (and interestingly, while her her hair has been drawn up in a tight knot all this while, it is now down, loose) She stands there for a bit, then throws the gun into the river and leaves.
And here are Stefano & Kate, arriving dockside but the yacht is not there. Along comes Victor, who evidently dismissed the captain, told him to leave. Seems Victor has had a shipment of artworks stalled at the docks for 15 weeks, Stefano replies that it is because he had an important shipment that took precedence. Tsk, Tsk, Stefano has violated the terms of their agreement. So, now you are going to pay me back? Victor flashes back to telling Rafe about Nicole’s Achilles’ heel, in order to get info from her. I already have, replies Victor, who then mentions he heard about the interrupted wedding, knows EJ is back at the mansion crying in his champagne, and wonders whatever happened to Stefano the loving parent. You’d better get back in line. Stefano laughs…Or what? Victor replies “you don’t want to know”. Along comes Maggie…”but I do”, she says.
Viv is alone in the sarcophagus, dictating a message from Maggie to Melanie into her tape recorder, as in comes Brady. What the hell are you doing here. Vivian sweetly explains about the Isabella memorial, Brady has a fit. He asks if his grandfather knows about this….then tells her in no uncertain terms to leave his mother and her remains alone, do not touch them.
Sami comes into the darkened bedroom, slips back into bed with the sleeping Rafe. His cell rings, and there is Nicole, ranting at him about his ineffectual bodyguard. Rafe says he promised her protection for life, he will talk to her in the morning, he hangs up. Rafe sees Sami is awake, she says she had a nightmare, a really bad one. His phone rings again, Nicole is furious he hung up on her. He assures her again all is o.k. he will talk to her in the morning. A frustrated Nicole throws something at the fireplace, smashing it. Out comes Daniel & Chloe, Nicole is once again apologizing, she is sorry, she is sorry. Daniel is ready to toss her out, Chloe calms him, he says they should go back to bed, Chloe decides to make some tea for us girls, he leaves, Nicole cries into Chloe’s shoulder.
Back at Rafe’s, he is comforting Sami, assuring her all will be fine. He holds her, she looks up, telling him she loves him so much…kisses him. And the camera is back in DiMansion, long shot of the motionless EJ laying on the bed.
