Episode #11,412 Taped 7/14 Director – Herb Stein
Lots of “filler” today, in my opinion, plus the obligatory flashbacks, of course. The first 4 minutes are repeat scenes from Friday’s show (just so you had not forgotten, after the long weekend). Rafe asking Sami to marry him, Stefano ordering Daniel to save his son’s life, even if Daniel is Victor’s godson, Daniel ordering the staff to page Carly, and get the O.R. ready, stat. We definitely take a tour of Salem today. So, now we are in the O.R., everyone is in scrubs, caps, masks and gloves, and guess what? A nurse begins to shave EJ”s head. Is that REALLY done in the O.R.? I thought everything was supposed to be so sanitary and the reason for caps is to prevent hairs from flying around. O.K. on with the surgery. Carly is assisting, hands Daniel the scalpel (isn’t he lucky, no student nurse for him!). They talk of the bullet being in the frontal lobe, lucky EJ is was just 22 caliber, uh, oh, sub dural hematoma. Worse now they are losing him, he is coding. Bring out the paddles. Sigh of relief, that worked, he is back in sinus rhythm, they can proceed. Ahh, Daniel removes the bullet, it goes into a bowl.
Nicole has the TV on, but no news about the shooting of EJ. She decides she is going to the hospital, Chloe tries to talk her out of it, to no avail.
Out in the hall, Stefano is in his full DiMera mode, pacing, anxious, threatening nurses because they have no news. Kate calms him down, he cannot go bursting into the O.R. now. Bo arrives, wants to talk, Stefano grits his teeth, turning away, saying not now. Bo tells Kate that with the number of people wanting EJ dead, he’d have to rent a stadium in order to question them all, lololol, but for now he wants to know who had access to that fortress they call a home. Kate tells him she & Stefano spent the night on the yacht, the staff knew they were not there. She flashes back to calling Sami, says she thinks she knows who did this. Stefano comes back, hears this, gets upset at Kate, but she talks of the scene on the dock with Victor. Bo is not convinced, but Kate tells of Maggie being able to confirm the confrontation. Stefano tells Bo whoever did this is going to pay big time.
Cue Nicole to arrive, with Tim & Chloe right behind her, and Stefano roars at her that she did this, she is going to pay. Nicole tells of EJ trying to kill her last night, Stefano doesn’t believe her, but she has Daniel Jonas as the man who stopped it, the FBI agents guarding her, the one agent who EJ also tried to strangle, and that she was at Daniel & Chloe’s all the rest of the evening, with several guards right outside the door.
Sami is watching the news, Rafe comes in with cups, turns it off, she doesn’t need the news before morning coffee, suggests they go see the kids. Next they are at the Pub, Caroline congratulating them welcoming Rafe to the family, is very happy for them both. She says the girls are sleeping, out runs Johnny, happy to see Mommy. Hugs, big time. Sami now tells him she has good news, Rafe is back, they are all going to be together now, she & Rafe are getting married. Johnny says “my daddy is not going to like that”. LOL. Sami says it isn’t going to be a problem, they are all going to be together, she & Rafe are getting married. Rafe & Sami are both kneeling down to Johnny’s level, Rafe talks of them all going camping together, playing football. Johnny is grinning, wanting to know if he can come to Rafe’s office. Rafe says heck, you can be king of my office. Johnny gives him a big hug.
And let’s take a quick side trip to Stephanie’s apt. where Ian has just arrived, Stephanie begs, pleads, wheedles….wants Ian to break into St. Mary’s system again, and see if Philip is the one who changed the results. Ian is reluctant, why is it so important. she whines some more, talks of how Philip gave away his first child…frankly, she didn’t make much sense, but she evidently convinces Ian, who agrees, and she leaves.
Nathan runs into Chloe on the docks, makes a bit of small talk, but gets Chloe’s dander up when he brings up her one night stand. Chloe gets indignant, tells him to shut up, informs him of her paternity test, tells him he is rude and insulting. He tells her he did promise not to say anything to anyone, and he won’t, he leaves.
Brady is looking thru the mail, Victor comes in, tell him of trouble with DiMeras, that he is sending Vivian to Tahiti for safety sake, that perhaps Brady should make himself scarce, too. Brady isn’t going anywhere, mentions his talk with Maggie (Vivian is eavesdropping) warning him about Victor. Wonders if Victor is just using this as an excuse to get Viv out of the way, so he is free to pursue Maggie, and it will not work. Brady leaves, Victor calls Maggie, telling her that he was thinking about the scene with Stefano last night, and he thinks Maggie should go on her trip after all. Maggie sweetly says she never changed her plans in the first place.
Viv comes into the room, telling Victor she is not going to Tahiti, she married him for better or for worse, is going to stand by his side. And besides, she wants to make sure the transition of Isabella’s remains goes smoothly.
Melanie is looking through Maggie’s cookbook, Philip comes in, loves that she wants to emulate Maggie. He wants to perhaps have a party for Chloe & Daniel, celebrate the baby, surprising Melanie, who remembers his solemn face when he first heard. He claims Chloe is a good friend, been thru a lot, cancer, chemo, etc. he was worried it might not “take”. But all is well now, so….Melanie suggests she throw Chloe a baby shower, Philip thinks this a good idea, Chloe will love it.
Back at the Pub, Caroline has taken Johnny to wake up his sisters, Bo arrives, telling Sami & Rafe that EJ was shot last night. Sami turns white, can’t believe EJ is dead. Bo did not say that, he only said EJ was shot, he is in surgery right now. Sami drops the glass of water Bo has brought her (she is seated at a table), apologizes, Rafe goes to get towels to mop it up. Bo asks Sami where she was last night, she just looks at him. Rafe has returned, says he can answer that, she was with him all night. Bo asks Rafe if she ever left, he says no, she was there all night. Sami is still trying to grasp the news, mumbling about him being the father of two of her children. Then says she didn’t know how she was going to tell them he was dead, and is glad she won’t have to.
Back to the hospital, Stefano is pacing, Lexie arrives, sorry she was off duty when all this happened. He wants her to go in, tell him what is going on, but out comes the solemn Daniel, his news delayed by a commercial. (!). He tells Stefano, finally, only that his son is alive, tells Bo they got the bullet, it was sent to forensics, then goes off with Lexie & Stefano to talk. Kate again contemplates her call to Sami, telling herself perhaps she made a mistake. Daniel is explaining to Stefano that they really do not know yet what sort of damage may have been done. It will take a few days. Lexie tells her father they just have to wait.
Stefano, Kate & Lexie are all together now, as Carly comes out of EJ’s room. “I have news”. Last shot is of EJ, lots of tubes and wires, machines.
