At the Loft, Rafe and Sami discuss her health situation. Sami is trying to stay positive about things. Rafe says he has an idea to make her feel better. He gives her a massage. Then he offers to take her out to dinner. She’s not really up to running into anybody so they decide to order Chinese. Sami gets a call from Lexie. They can do the procedure in the morning due to a cancellation. They discuss. Sami hedges a bit but Rafe says they need to take care of it right away. Sami finally agrees and calls Lexie back to take the appointment. They discuss logistics with the kids. Sami doesn’t want them to know. She starts to get emotional, saying she’s scared. Rafe hugs her. Later Rafe is unpacking the food. Sami grabs a fortune cookie and reads the fortune, “your past deeds are coming back to haunt you”. Rafe laughs it off but Sami thinks it’s probably true. She thinks she’s being punished by God. Rafe doesn’t think God works that way. Maybe it’s karma, she says. She rattles off some of her misdeeds convinced it’s karmic justice. He mentions Johnny having cancer, was he being punished too? No of course not, she says. She’s just having trouble thinking about her kids without her. He says to have faith. She can’t seem to move past the karmic payback. He asks have good things ever happened to her and does she deserve those? She softens saying she doesn’t deserve him. He tries to explain that this is not a divine punishment, it’s just something they’re going to have to get through. But it’s not happening to us, it’s happening to me, she says. He says you’re my wife, I love you, whatever happens to you, happens to me. She apologizes. He says they’ll get through this together. And by the way God loves you. Have faith.

At the Station, Hope is pleading with Roman about the undercover operation idea. He’s against it. Hope thinks they’re doing nothing. Roman says Hope is not dressing up as a hooker, she could be recognized. Roman says they’re going with his plan. Hope asks what that is. In due time, he says. Bo comments that family in the workplace has a certain stress level. Hope tries to reason with Roman. The perp is specifically going after prostitutes, who aren’t comfortable with opening up to cops. Bo, looking at something says, we may not need them to. He reads a note from the perp that says “I am your ally. I come to bring justice. Evil women must pay.” Bo says he doesn’t think this guy is stopping anytime soon. Bo sticks it in an evidence bag and Roman says he’ll run it to forensics. He tells them to stay out of trouble while he’s gone. Bo and Hope take off to the streets.

Outside Cheatin’ Heart, Quinn is on the phone trying to get information on Mandy’s condition to no avail. Taylor comes up and gives him an update having just seen Mandy. She says don’t worry, Mandy is determined not to talk to the police. However, in her sleep she said his name. He worries someone heard. Only her, luckily for him. He again warns her to stay in line. More arguing. Now they go into the bar where Taylor asks the bartender to turn on the TV. Roman is giving a statement to the people of Salem about the case and gives a number to call for information. Taylor hands her phone to Quinn saying she already punched in the number, call it. They sit down and argue a bit. She sneers at him about his line of work. He mentions paying for all of Mandy’s hospital bills. He then says just give me back my tablet. She has no idea what he’s talking about. She can’t believe he keeps all his business information on that thing. She doesn’t have it and apparently he has no idea who does. She gets worried that some lunatic has his tablet. He says he’ll find it. She says he better or their little arrangement is over.

At DiMansion, Chloe is outside incessantly ringing the doorbell. Kate answers and Chloe immediately starts calling her *itch. She can’t believe she didn’t figure it out sooner, you set me up, damn you! And she starts choking Kate. Kate pushes her off saying she’s crazy and how dare she go after Stefano DiMera’s wife like that. She makes a few snide remarks. Chloe tells her what she did to her is inhuman. Kate says she’s been a whore since high school, she’s just getting paid for it now. Chloe says, so you admit you paid Quinn to blackmail me into doing this. She says Kate will pay for this. Kate says she’s not done with her yet. Kate says Chloe destroyed two of her son’s lives and she won’t give her the opportunity to do the same to her grandson’s. Chloe says and she’s such a great mother that she can make that call? She calls her a hypocrite. She tries to reason with Kate about even after all the horrible things she’s done she still loves her kids like no one else could so why can’t she afford the same to her and Parker. Kate says nice try but she needs to drop the custody suit because at the most opportune time she will drop her bomb to CPS. Chloe calls her bluff saying she’s got nothing. She then tells Kate that after all these years and all the things she’s tried to do to her one thing remains the same: Kate never wins in the end. She says Kate has to hide behind a disgusting old man and in fact they both have the same job except Kate has one exclusive client. Kate calls her a *itch. Chloe says she’s becoming Kate’s worst nightmare because she is living proof of what a loser Kate really is. She leaves.
 
Outside the Pub, EJ is on the phone with Stefano saying he took care of that “thing” and the wheels are in motion. He hangs up as Nicole walks up asking what he’s up to now. He tries to deflect, as she points out, saying she knows him so well. She chides him about not having his kids and Taylor dropping him. He tries to leave but she tells him she’s on to him. He’s probably cooking something up with Stefano again, probably having some British/Italian screaming match to distract from the fact that his life sucks! EJ just laughs. He thinks it’s funny that someone like her, who is not exactly on top of the world, is telling him that his life sucks. She makes fun of the fact that all he has is his daddy and her ex-hooker wife. He warns her not to cast stones seeing as she’s still caught up with drunk Brady. She sarcastically says that’s so like him to use the word “whom” in a sentence. He smiles saying he just didn’t want to end his sentence with a preposition. She says, that is something up with which you will not put. LOL. The conversation goes back to Brady. Nicole says you know what else hasn’t changed? He replies, he uses you and then he dumps you? Nicole says you’re still jealous of him. EJ says he’s always liked how easily she can distort reality. Now Bo and Hope walk up remarking how interesting that Nicole is chatting it up with the man responsible for her mother’s death. They make a few quips to EJ. He goes to leave but Bo wants to ask a few questions. Hope asks how he’s been spending his evenings lately. They explain that someone has been attacking prostitutes, what kind of sick b-tard would do something like that so they decided to go talk to Junior. EJ can’t believe they’re accusing him of attacking the women. Hope says his family owns a lot of property in the areas where the attacks have been happening and they were hoping to review some of the security tapes. Bo mentions the drug business and Nicole chimes in “oh he sold that” (LOL!) EJ gives her a look while Bo and Hope giggle a bit. Bo says drugs and prostitution go hand in hand. Like crime lords and porn stars, says Hope. Nicole says “Hey!” Bo asks EJ who he sold the drug business to. Nicole says do you really think he’s going to answer that? EJ says he can handle himself. He offers a non-answer to Bo and Hope and they eventually take off. Nicole apologizes, she was just trying to help. He knows. She says those two drive her nuts how can Taylor work with them. What? Says EJ. Nicole informs him she’s working at the PD, not sure why. Nicole goes to take off. He stops her telling her to take care of herself. Wow, you do care, she says. She’s one of his favorite ex-wives, always will be. They sort of stare at each other for a bit and then she walks away.

Chloe now sits with Quinn at Cheatin’ Heart. She’s still fired up about Kate but he’s worried about his own problems. She wants to know how much Kate paid him to ruin her and her son’s life. She says “I quit!” He says you can’t. She says Kate has no proof and she needs to get her son back, she thought he might actually care about that. He says he does, more than she knows. He says he does want that. He gets a text of the note, presumably from Taylor. He shows it to Chloe saying this is why you can’t quit because I’m the only one who can protect you. He has filled her in on his tablet getting stolen. She worries about her picture being on there which could make her a target. The bartender comes up giving Quinn a package that was just dropped off. He opens it. It’s his tablet and scratched into the back are the letters R.I.P.

Taylor returns to the PD. Roman asks if she saw the press conference and thanks her for her help. He shows her the note from the attacker. Taylor says they really are targeting prostitutes. Sure looks that way, says Roman. Taylor says this is getting worse by the minute, what is she going to do? Roman comes back and asks Taylor to compare the note with the FBI files to find any similarities. She gets right on it as Nicole comes waltzing in. She asks Taylor what’s wrong, why so jumpy? She wants to know the real reason she’s working there. Roman comes up asking Nicole to excuse them, he needs to talk to Taylor. Nicole whispers in Taylor’s ear that she knows she’s up to something. The last time that happened she was sleeping with her husband. She will find out her dirty little secret.

Kate walks into the living room and picks up a piece of mail and opens it. What on earth, she says. EJ returns and Kate asks about the letter saying it’s a transaction she had been working on for months and he put a stop to it, why? She shows him the letter. He’s not sure Stefano would have approved this deal and wonders if Kate is trying to do things in the company behind Stefano’s back.

At the docks, Hope hears from the station with an update on the note, nothing new to report. Hope tells Bo that the guy is looking for evil, she knows just what to give to him. She says maybe she can’t go undercover but they can’t stand by waiting for him to attack again. As the gloved attacker hangs out behind some crates watching them.

Next on Days:
EJ to Kate: Why did you lie to me?
EJ to Kate: I have more power than you can possibly imagine!
Kate: Am I supposed to be scared by you? EJ: You should be scared.
 
Thanks for the excellent write up, Sparkster!

If only today had been Chloe's turn with the Salem Brain. She should have had a recorder to capture Kate's confession and then played it for Philip, the cops, anyone who would listen. Of course, if she'd had access to it months ago, she never would have gotten into this mess in the first place ...

:beathorse: :beathorse: :beathorse:
 
Thanks for the summary Sparkster :) I do have to say that I am glad to see Kate back to her shananigans rather than oooh-ing and aaaah-ing over Stefano. This is that Kate that I loved to hate.
 
I have to say that Hope really made me mad today! When her and Bo were giving EJ a hard time, I thought it was funny but for her to make the porn star comment to Hope was unnecessary!. I am so over everyone saying that to her..... Hope doesn't have a squeeky clean past. :mad:
