Days of Our Lives
Tuesday, April 25, 2017

Salemites are interacting all over, but not really much is moving forward. Abby chats with Hope at the cop shop, all excited over her upcoming interview with Raines. He comes in, "let's get this over with". Abby is back with Hope, thinks she did well, Hope says if she gets the job, they can do lunch more often. (and don't ask where Thomas is, no idea!). Later, Raines comes back, tells Abby that tho he had a couple more interviews, did not want to waste his time or theirs, she has the job. (Was there any doubt?) Report 9 a.m. tomorrow morning.

Dario is with Myron, who is talking of hacking into some small bank, which is easily done, and small banks never report it, don't want to lose customers. Dario is not keen on that, Abby will be working at the Salem P.D. got to stay squeaky clean.

Abby does show up, all happy, she did get the job.

Sonny meets up with Paul, figures something is going on with Deimos, wants Paul to double check the e-mails, etc. as he thinks Deimos may be expecting a shipment. Paul says he is giving up the townhouse, gonna move in the Martin house, fully staffed, meals included, etc., wants Sonny to move in with him. Sonny says no, he has to stay at the Kmansion to keep an eye on Deimos. Paul is hurt/ticked, leaves. Later, Sonny finds him elsewhere, apologizes, explains. Not that he would not want to move in, but when they nail Deimos, then Paul could move in with him, as the Kmansion will be his.

Deimos has gotten a confirmation about Nicole's whereabouts. He is smiling, pours himself a drink, Vic inquires. Deimos mentions getting advice from Maggie, which he thought about for 2 seconds and discarded. Vic tries to dissuade him as to the hunt for Nicole, saying she will not come back to him, but Deimos is confident, she loved him once, she will again. Vic does his usual insulting of Nicole, calling her names, but warns Deimos that if Brady or the children are harmed in any way, there will be hell to pay. He overhears Deimos chartering a private plane, wonders why not use Titan's, but Deimos doesn't trust the pilots, whose loyalty might be to Brady, since they evidently managed to get him out of the country.

Now Deimos is alone, another phone call, hangs up, well, Bridget & Freddie, here I come, Manitoba. He has a long, long flashback to the last time he saw Nik, she told him she did not love him, etc., and Brady coming and them leaving.

As he leaves the house with his suitcases, Sonny comes in, asks where he was going, Deimos says Quebec, business with Jon Luc. Later Sonny talks with Uncle Vic, learns Jon Luc is on a sabbatical til Sept. Hasn't been in Quebec in months. Sonny calls Paul, tells him to check all the private airports, any flight plans, etc.

JJ & Lani discuss a case of 6 missing girls......all connected to a pimp named Snake. Lani mentions a young girl she helped out, took to the Horton Center, then a halfway house, She calls the gal, gets info and appt. w/Snake. JJ is not happy she is going undercover, but she outranks him, is going to do this, and if he is not going to support her, she will get assigned a different partner. He agrees.

Now Lani is in her hooker outfit, meets with Snake in that alley, JJ is watching nearby, but Snake wants to "test" her first, takes her to some apt. or house, plies her with Champagne. She barely sips at it, he is not drinking, but he keeps talking about the test. JJ meanwhile is putting out an APB on the car, as he only knows it went west, he lost them. Snake insists she drink a bit more, she sips, says she is not much of a drinker, gets woozy. He sits her on a bed, holds her hands, says he will be taking good care of her, as he kneels in front of her.

In Canada, replay of Monday's scenes of Nicole telling Brady she loved him, and them going off to the bedroom. But they get interrupted when Holly wakes up, and more of the same. Go out, get Holly back to sleep, start to make out, interrupted, etc. Both talk of loving the kids, loving the life, loving each other. Finally, Holly quiets down enough and they get the chance to make love in the bedroom. Both are very happy, feel very lucky, time for round 2.
 
Thanks for the summary.

Today's episode was better than yesterday's show. And yet, just like yesterday, I really don't know what to comment. A lot happened in terms of interaction, and yet at the same time nothing really moved forward much.

I am enjoying Brady & Nicole for the time being.
 
Gosh, so much "NOTHING happening" goin on today...almost forgot that JJ goes to see Roman to ask what he knows about Snake, who has a lot of files in the past. Roman says they could never pin anything on the guy, very slippery.....also mentions he retired to take care of the Pub while Mom is with Kim, but in his heart, he is always a cop.
 
Holy cow. Who knew Salem was so big that a pimp would meet a prospective worker in an alley and then drive someplace? People DRIVE in Salem?? I guess only when they need to crash into someone or something.

So Lani is drinking a drugged drink. This is amazing. 6 girls missing. Well NOW we know why Claire's YouTube channel crashed and burned. Her audience is out working.

I have a couple more minutes before this amazing bit of blah airs in my time zone. It might be just what I need to sleep. :)

Thank you so much for the preview of what's to come slowly today.

Wait.... that teeny tiny baby.... is now sitting up in a chair and throwing cereal around??????

wow.... things are amazingly confusing in the baby/child growth department.....

Tough-as-nails Raines is slipping. Today, he hired an ex-mental patient who's still legally married to a DiMera, and who's way too chummy with career criminal Dario. The pickings for aspiring,low-paid receptionists must be pretty slim. Were those other two candidates that Raines mentioned Jade and Rory's old pot-loving pal, Bev?

Elsewhere, it appeared that slippery Snake was "entertaining" Lani at a room in the Salem Inn. Is there no type of guest that this place won't accommodate? Mayor Abe should trump up some building and health code violations and shut this den of inequity down.

Finally, Deimos actually thinks that he's the purveyor of "pure love?" What a delusional idiot. Could it be that Victor keeps him around purely for entertainment purposes? (E.g., Victor: "Maggie, you'll never guess the stupidest thing that Deimos said today. Laughing at him is keeping me young.") And does Manitoba want the likes of Deimos? It would serve him right if he's picked up by the RCMP as soon as he lands and is then escorted to a Winnipeg jail.

I have it on good authority that they were actually failed former hooker and babysnatcher sympathiser Kinsey and pill-popping polka-dot bra wearing Carly.
 
I looked at a map of Canada so I sort of know where everything is now.

I wish we could have seen Abigail's interview. It would have been interesting
to hear her answers about some things that happened before she ran away.

I don't know who Jean Luc is in Salem, but I thought of Jean Luc Picard when they
said the name.

Was Lani wearing a snake style skirt when she met Snake?

Nice to see Roman today.

Paul said he was moving into the renovated Martin B&B. Did Kate sell it?
Sonny told Paul he could move in the mansion after Deimos is taken down.
I don't know if I would want to live with Victor and Maggie.

Victor had some good comebacks to Deimos today.
 
Abby says that she wants to "be on her own" and in the past, jobs were handed to her by her mom, or Chad, and that definitely includes the hospital job. However, in MY lowly opinion, sneaking a paper over your brother's desk in the police station to learn of a job opening is not exactly getting a job on your own.

Just curious as to why a police station needs a receptionist. ??? Tho I live in a small town, anyone who works in the police dept. is a cop. And when you walk in, the one who "greets" you is behind a small, caged window. LOL But then, I guess someone has to "file" all those reports the cops have to write out in the proper file cabinet, huh?
 
Can someone explain why Abigail wants to be a receptionist at the Salem police department? Didn't she have a good job at the hospital? This is lame.

Lame indeed. If she doesn't want to work at The Spectator or The Horton Center, why not go back to the hospital then? Sami is gone and Aunt Kayla is Chief of Staff. But she would get this based on past experience. Such a stupid plot point.

Also, was Raines flirting with Abby? What was going on in those scenes???

I'd take Hope with Roman or Raines any day over Rafe. Much better chemistry.

I think Roman is foreshadowing a return to the police force. Between Tripp's arrest last week and what Hope and JJ said to him, I think it will happen. They just need a younger Brady to take over the Pub.

So sick of Victor being nice to Deimos.
 
Victor's "warnings" to Deimos are empty threats, in my opinion. Whether he thinks Nicole is not worthy or not, the fact remains that his grandson is with her, along with his great-grandson, and Holly is the child of his revered god-son and is Maggie's grandchild. I honestly cannot imagine just WHAT Deimos is thinking. Nicole will detest him forever if he tries to drag her back to Salem, or harms Brady/Holly/Tate in any way.
 
So Lani, a highly-trained police officer, is accepting a drink from a non-drinking pimp? Is Lt. Raines aware of her and JJ's ingenious plan? I had sort of been expecting Abigail to take on the undercover role.

Poirot correctly predicted that publican responsibilities were the cause of Roman's retirement.

When/how did Paul become an expert (and speedy) computer hacker. And, try as I might, I can't recall his undergoing DNA testing. :rolleyes:
