Episode #11,373 Taped 5/7 Director – Albert Alarr
It sure is aggravating to see how easily guilty parties manage to weasel out of the truth being exposed, and today is no exception. Chloe & Philip are, as usual, talking of their little one night stand possibly resulting in him being father of her child. As Chloe reasons with Philip, he admits she is right, this has to be kept just between the two of them. And of course, Daniel walks in at that moment, wanting to know exactly WHAT should be kept between the two of them. Awkward pauses. Chloe tries to cover, but Philip says they should come clean, tell Daniel the truth, then “confesses” that Melanie told him about the baby, and he came over to congratulate Chloe, thinks the news is great, but did not want to get Melanie in trouble, since she was not supposed to tell anyone. Daniel is not angry, he is the one who told Melanie in the first place. A bit more awkward conversation, and finally Phil leaves, and now, Daniel, who has temporary custody of the Salem brain, confronts Chloe about Philip and her friendship with him. He knows they used to be a couple, they go way back, and she seems to confide in him. He is a married man, has a big important job, but manages to be able to just take the time to come over to congratulate Chloe over something he is not even supposed to know. Daniel lets Chloe know, in no uncertain terms, that her constant meetings with Philip make him uncomfortable. Chloe is surprised, didn’t realize this, tells him to remember Philip is married to his daughter. Daniel agrees, acknowledges they will all see each other as couples, but he really wishes Chloe would not spend so much time with Philip alone. She agrees, starts to talk, almost telling him about sleeping with Philip, but…doesn’t get that far…. he apologizes, says he was not in a good mood, had just had a run in with Vivian as he heard she had been upsetting Chloe. Now Chloe explains how Viv admitted paying off Greg, the nurse and the motel owner, and how she, herself, thought she was hallucinating about them. Daniel admits he did not believe her, is sorry, kiss, kiss, and next …..in bed in afterglow. LOL. He has to get to the hospital, shower first, both very happy. He gets out of bed, and Chloe once again tells herself he can’t know about her & Philip.
Philip leaves Daniel’s apt. telling himself that Daniel just HAS to be the father, and next he is at home, having brought his wife some daisies. (amazing how he doesn’t have to ever check in at the office!) Melanie comes out in a really cute sundress, loves the daisies, tells Philip about Viv’s visit, he gets mad, is going to call Viv, she broke the rules, but Melanie stops him, explaining how Viv was only trying to get them to move back in the mansion. She then gets into a conversation about how Maggie is doing really well, her illness in remission, wonders if perhaps it isn’t time for her & Philip to have some privacy and perhaps get their own house. Small one, with a fence, a garden, extra bedroom. Dumb Philip asks if the extra bedroom is for when Max visits. Mel explains perhaps a nursery. Philip’s expression changes, you can see him struggling with this, but Melanie goes on further that it would be there for ….later on. They will start looking tomorrow.
Earlier, Melanie was at the lake…actually, you know, that one and only picnic spot that we have seen a lot of lately. Blanket, paper plates, etc, as Arianna joins her. Oh, Ari thought they were just gonna hang out by the lake, did not know a picnic was planned. Melanie makes all kinds of cute excuses, Ari notices places for 3, and along comes wet and shirtless Brady, just back from a swim. More awkwardnessl, as they realize what Melanie is up to. She asks them to remember the Horton cabin last year, and how well that went, indicates there is no harm in them just talking, they agree, she grabs her things and leaves. Melanie is truly so chipper and funny in these scenes, kudos to Molly Burnett. So Brady & Arianna talk, she says she did not do what they say, he knows that, is not happy that she is trusting EJ. She talks of him getting her out of jail, paying her bail, Brady would have done that. She tries to make him see that their problems began when Nicole got out of prison, he tries to make her understand how every day is a challenge to him, he wakes up, vowing to stay sober one more day, he had hit rock bottom, and Nicole has, too. He thinks Arianna doesn’t understand people like him and Nicole. She says she does, is proud of him, but he cannot see what Nicole is doing. She gets a call from Frank, who calls her into work. She happily agrees, telling Brady that evidently Frank is a big believer in innocent until proven guilty.
And now let’s go over to the pier, where Sami has arrived at Nicole’s request, wanting to know what is going on. It is too bad Nicole continues to dance around what she wants to tell Sami, instead of coming straight out with it. Gives EJ too much time to think, but then we have Sami herself, who immediately starts yammering, chattering, going on and on how this has to be about Arianna, and Nicole doesn’t like that EJ got her out of prison, is trying to make trouble. EJ goes along with this, Sami has linked her arm in his, Nicole is denying this is the case, but still beating around the bush. Sami gets a call from Caroline about her kids, goes off to the side. Nicole tells EJ he was just saved by the bell, but not for long. He tells her how voice tapes are not admissible in a court of law, as they can be doctored, and since she already went to jail for kidnapping Sydney by her own admission, it will be easy to say she has faked the whole thing. Nicole is not put off so easily, mentions the pier being the spot where EJ threw Sydney’s bloody clothes in to make everyone think she was dead. Perfect place. EJ protests that he and Sami are very happy with their family, getting along great, he has bonded with Will, plus Will is looking at Stefano like a grandfather.
In the background, we see Will and Gabi have arrived, Sami, still on the phone, is talking with them. Nicole has gone off. Arianna arrives with the camera, wondering what Gabi is doing there. Nicole returns, tells Arianna the story is here, and good, cause this is going to be a doozy. Now Brady arrives, Nicole says perfect, everyone is here. Arianna is holding the video camera on Nicole, who announces she is Nicole DiMera, who is here to talk about a mystery, which up to now, has been unsolved.

Sami, you'll feel like a complete idiot when the Sydnapping truth comes out.
