Episode #10, 927 Director – Herb Stein
A really well acted show today, as the two moms to be wrestle with telling the father, while John wrestles with his own demons. Dialogue is just wonderful and I cannot do it justice, I know already. At DiMansion, John is kissing Marlena, who is kissing him back. She breaks away, saying “I think…”. John tells her not to think, resumes the kissing, wants to go upstairs. That is not a good idea. He smiles saying, well o.k. but someone could come in, more intense kissing. She finally pushes him away, picks up the papers on the floor, hands them to John, saying she wants him to sign them. John refuses, she tries to leave. Now he wants to know what he has to do to save this marriage. Go to the hospital and get checked. Absolutely not! She knew he would say that, and yes, she cares about him, but she cannot stay married to him. She wants her husband back, and asks if he can do that. John reminds her of why he doesn’t want to be in the hospital, of all that Stefano did to him. She understands, but his headaches are getting worse, and she is not going to watch him self-destruct. She leaves. John rolls the divorce papers up, contemplates for a bit, lashes out with the rolled up papers sending a glass flying and breaking into smithereens.
Stefano walks in, rhapsodizing over having taken Johnny for a stroll in the nice fresh air, advising John to go out and get some fresh air, and saying how sad it is he cannot be taking Claire for a walk. He asks about John’s headache, it is fine. John pours himself a drink (amazing how anyone can even look at liquor after experiencing a blinding headache like John gets). Stefano asks what is wrong, John says nothing, but Stef notes he saw Marlena leaving, tells him Marlena is a dangerous woman, he knows, he was in love with her. John thinks the word “obsessed” was tossed around a bit. Stefano laughs, saying he just does things on a grand scale, talks of how Marlena put him in that catatonic state, and then advises John to sign the divorce papers. John asks how he knew about that. Ahhh, Stefano knows everything, and John would be wise to remember that.
Lucas comes into Chez Rouge, and we have a repeat of him asking EJ if he heard from Sami. Ej replies yes, and she is full of surprises. When Lucas asks if EJ is cool with what Sami had to tell him, EJ is puzzled, says he only talked to her on the phone, she said she had something important to tell him, and wants to see him. Lucas realizes Sami has not told EJ yet, while EJ realizes Lucas knows something. Lucas denies it, Nicole walks in, spots EJ & Lucas, comes up, asking Lucas to take a hike. He leaves, she wants to talk, EJ claims he is waiting for a client. She talks of him abruptly ending their date without even a good-bye, he insists he said good-bye, she claims that he only said it is Sami, I have to go. They do get a table at last, EJ keeps looking around expectantly. Nicole wants to know where she stands, EJ tries to explain that Sami is the mother of his son, he naturally would care what happens to her. When he mentions that Sami had fainted & Lucas took her to the hospital, Nicole gets upset that EJ went running because Sami had the vapors. EJ explains he only stayed there a few minutes, but has something important to tell him, and is coming there. This sets Nikki off again, (man, she is so full of different emotions, and her face tells every single one). But EJ thinks Sami has something to tell him about Johnny, and that is his #1 priority. Nicole understands, but says Sami cannot be in their lives, then wants to know where she stands. She is tired of him playing ping pong with her and Sami, does he feel he has a future with Nicole? EJ waffles, saying he cares about them both, and just is not ready for commitment. Nicole has her answer, she would rather never see him again then continue this farce. She stands up, he asks what the important thing she had to tell him was…….nothing, she replies. It no longer matters.
Sami is at the cabin, worried about Stefano having been with Johnny, rummaging thru Johnny’s diaper bag, looking for his pacifier, finds a silver rattle with a picture of the Phoenix on it. This upsets her, she wonders how she can keep Stefano out of her son’s life. Later, she is napping on the sofa, and having a dream. She is coming down the stiars at DiMansion, spots some luggage in the hall, realizes Johnny must be home. She opens the door to the library/study/living room (whatever it is) and there sits her teen age son, about to light a cigar, telling Grampa Stefano how he told Allie to keep away from him, he doesn’t want anyone to know they are related. Sami grabs the cigar away, saying he is too young to smoke, as Johnny picks up the glass of wine, and she grabs that, too, saying he is too young to drink. Johnny tells her to cool off (Sami’s hair is cut shorter, just below the ear, and looks really great with that hairstyle). Stefano says they are making plans for the upcoming winter semester, as Johnny reports that Stefano is going to make sure his teachers all give him straight A’s. Sami protests he is smart enough to get them on his own, sure, but why have all this money and power and not use it, Johnny laughs.
Sami is restless on the sofa, tossing and turning, and now dreams of walking into that same room to find a man tied to a chair, Stefano & Johnny standing over him, the man pleading he has a wife and kids, Johnny cruelly saying too bad, getting the nod from Stefano, pulling out a revolver, and cocking it, aiming at the guy, as Sami watches from the doorway, crying No, No, as we hear a gunshot.
Sami wakes up on the sofa yelling No, no, as Lucas comes in, rushing to her side. Next we see them, she has told Lucas of her dream, and is very worried about Johnny being influenced by Stefano. She has to protect her children, and while it might be too late for Johnny, she will protect this unborn child. She is not going to tell EJ, which does not set well with Lucas. He thinks she should, warns her that if she does not tell him, he will. She says he has to respect her decision, he would not dare. He is going out the door, saying oh, no, try me.
Marlena comes into Chez Rouge, spots EJ, sits down, asking for a favor. She talks of John, his headaches, the need for him to get further tests in order to ascertain what is wrong, and wants EJ to encourage John to do so. Nope, but Marlena persists, saying how it would be a chance to do something good, something honorable, that she would appreciate it, and he should do it for Sami, and for Johnny. EJ capitulates, says O.K. he will give it a shot. Marlena thanks him.
John is pouring himself a drink, when he suddenly is looking up, and turning in circles. He falls to the floor as Stefano watches him. Nicole comes in, Stefano is no longer there. She rushes to John’s side, begins calling 911, John protests. Nicole is frantic, realizing John’s headaches are worse. She insists he needs to see a doctor, he promises he will make and appointment in the a.m. She now tells him she has changed her mind, does not want his help with EJ, has decided not to tell him about the baby, and will do this on her own. John is worried, she has no money, Victor has taken it back. She says she will figure something out. He offers to help monetarily, she says no. John insists, saying he has been told he has not been so nice since he returned, and this would give him the chance. Please let him help her. Nicole again refuses, appreciates his offer, knows he is trying to be nice, but she does not want his money. What she does want, tho…….she grabs his hand, clasping it in her own…..is his friendship. She could really use that right now.
