Eric and Marlena have lunch at the pub and talk. She's giving him a pep talk about not being a wounded bird. He tells her about Victor giving him the tongue-lashing. Marlena is pretty ticked-off. They hug and she leaves. Eric mutters "there she goes, straight to Victor."

Brady goes out and Scooter immediately comes in, starting to spread his slime all over the place. He threatens Nicole (asking if can call her Misty) that if she doesn't give in to his demands, he'll tell his wife who "Bridget" and "Freddie" really are. Brady pulls up and Nicole tells Scooter he better leave out the back door or Brady will beat him to a pulp.

Brady and Nicole head to the kitchen to bake cupcakes and there's a knock on the door. It's Hillary, crying. She tells Nicole that she and Scooter had a bad fight. Tells Nicole that even though they hide it well, things aren't great between them (really?). Says she can deal with his poor work ethic and constant porn viewing, but is really upset when he keeps comparing her to the tramps in the videos. She apologizes for saying that. She says his comparisons make her feel like he's cheating (with the porn), but then asks Nicole (in an abstract way) if maybe he really is cheating.

Nicole talks with her, saying she wishes she could help. Hillary asks, what, kill him? Then apologizes for the "joke", but says Nicole has really helped by being a friend and listening. Hillary says she's going to the shooting range to relieve some stress. She talks a little more but starts crying and rushes to the bathroom. Nicole removes Hillary's gun from her purse. She apparently returns the gun to the purse, as Hillary comes out of the bathroom and leaves. Nicole then goes online and searches "nearest gun store."

Tripp and Joey go back and forth. Tripp goes to the other room and Jade tells Joey she'll talk to Tripp on his behalf, so Joey leaves. She tells Tripp that her life was much like his, as an unwanted child. Says Joey can't really understand what it was like. But she tells Tripp how nice Steve really is.

Kayla comes over to see Tripp. Joey tells her that Tripp and Jade are out together. Flash to Tripp sitting in Club TBD drinking a beer (he's 21??). He's having a flashback to Angelo telling him he inherited the Vitali fortune. Jade joins him and they talk; she asks him to buy her a drink. He tells her she's underage and in the process of growing a new liver (LOL). She says her liver is fully regenerated (already??); says if he can't afford a drink, she'll go to a kegger somewhere. He agrees to buy her a drink.

Jade starts drinking the beer, says how good it is, the first one since her surgery. Said the doctor told her it was OK. Just then Kayla walks in and tells Jade to put the drink down. Tripp snaps at Kayla and says she can't talk to Jade that way just because she pays Jade's rent. Tripp storms off and Joey tells Kayla to just let him go when she wants to go after him.

Steve goes to meet cousin Angelo, who says he doesn't believe the ISA wanted Ava dead. Says he knows Steve killed her in cold blood. Steve tells Angelo to stay away from his family. Angelo reminds Steve that Tripp is his family, too. Angelo tells Steve that Tripp doesn't need him for anything, especially now that he's rich. He explains that he (Angelo) inherited the Vitali fortune and that he was the one who set up a trust for Tripp when he found out he was Ava's son.

Marlena goes to see Victor about what he said to Eric. "Eric went whining to mommy" was Victor's reply. Marlena says not to talk about her son and if he wants to talk about someone, talk about his brother, who is an animal. Marlena storms out, while Victor condescendingly asks if she's not staying for a glass of wine.

Eric, back in his office, is online hunting for signs of life from Nicole. He has briefly dozed off and dreams of running into Nicole somewhere and telling her not to do it, like she's in danger. He tries to work (at his desk), but is distracted and begins writing a letter to Nicole.

Nicole sits at the laptop, pondering what to do. Brady walks in, they talk. He says she seems more like her old self again. She says she feels like her old self again. He goes back to the kitchen and Nicole gets a wicked smirk on her face as she flashes back to Hillary saying "kill him??"
 
Oh no! I am now feeling very, very, fearful about Nicole's future!!!!!!!!! I so very much wanted her to have a "happily ever after" story with Holly. That is now looking very doubtful! Grrrrrrr.

I kind of like Jade and Tripp together. I think they work better than Joey and Jade.
 
Thank you for making it through this one, JS. It sounds like the best part of the show was Victor's snarkiness. Scooter turns my stomach, and Tripp is just a waste of space. Anything with Jade is just kind of meh.
I still think that "Waste of Space" Tripp should stand up and announce to the Pub customers that he's Ava's son. He'd get a real earful from the admirers of Dad Brady. As for Steve's other son, Little Joey, how foolish is he that he needs good advice from the likes of "meh" Jade? As for Marlena, she should know better than to confront Victor. He probably welcomes such visits so he can dream up new and better snark. Finally, the less said about Nicole-Scooter the better. Please, just make this mess go away.
 
Thanks, JS.

I enjoyed Marlena talking to Victor like he was a bull in a china shop.

At first, I was worried Nicole when touched Hillary's gun..but her looking at
a website that sells guns is worse. I wish she would tell Brady that Scooter
knows who they really are.

I guess we shouldn't be surprised Jade's liver has grown back already.
It's Salem.

I wonder if Eric will try harder to find Nicole since he had a dream with her?
 
While I like Victor's snark to SOME, I truly do not get what is going on with him. He actually doesn't want Eric to go out anywhere in order to have "proper respect" for Daniel? Huh? Where was the proper respect for Philip? What makes Daniel so important to Vic.....he was his godfather, while Deimos has caused much pain and anguish to so many people, including Maggie, and himself. Yes, Sonny as well.
Is he giving Deimos enough rope to hang himself, or is Victor just letting it all slide because he let Deimos be in prison for something he did not do?

Just wish Marlena would have added a few more items to her comments.
 
I don't like that Nicole's fingerprints are now on Hillary's gun. I don't trust her. She has been wayyy too nosy, and definitely way too friendly. She barely knows "Bridget", yet she comes over crying because of a fight with her husband? For a nosy neighbor, does she not wonder where he goes, when they don't associate with anyone there?

And then pervert Scooter comes over, commenting on Nicole's looks, or body, or something......and then Hillary tells Nik about him comparing her body to the tramps in the porn films.

Something is off there......Hillary even mentioned killing Scooter. Don't like it, not at all. And Nik won't tell Brady. Grrrrr.
 
So... Thank you to all for the summaries, Poirot, JS, Jason. But I am afraid I won't watch this episode. Nor will I watch the following ones for now. It has been a blast coming on this site, commenting, discussing with you all. But I have decided right now I won't waste any more of my time watching this show. Not just worth it, in my opinion. So bye for now, my friends from the Salem Spectator. Take care ! I'm taking a break, but I just might be back... We never know ! :hug:
 
You can take a break, not watch, but still visit and read. Heck, we have new writers coming in.......O.K. Sorry you are so upset with the show. We all are, at times. Heck, here I am, after all these years. I began writing summaries in 2000, and yep. ups, downs, yukkies, yays. That is a soap, any soap. Daytime, nighttime. Hope your break is a short one. We will miss you, and thank you for being such a huge part of the Spectator family here.
 
Thanks for the summary. A decent show. Nothing special, but nothing horrible either, I suppose.

TheWriter, keep coming to this board! I love reading your comments! I've quit watching numerous times (albeit keeping up with summaries) and still come on here to discuss. It's what is great about SalemSpectator!
