EJ/Lexie at the Hospital
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Taylor and EJ are at the pier talking about the scarf she dropped. Would he like her to show him what he can do with a scarf? He wraps it around her, pulls her to him and leans in to kiss her. All of a sudden EJ comes to (he was daydreaming) and calls someone. EJ is shown telling someone that he needs to talk to them now. EJ gets off the elevator. He needs Lexie to do him a favor. She cannot tell anyone. He wants Lexie to be a reference to get Taylor a job in New York. Oh! So he wants his wife's sister to leave Salem? Why is that? Why? She is his sister in law and needs a job. He is trying to help. Theo likes Taylor a lot. They made a connection. She doesn't want EJ to ship her out of town because he has the hots for her. She is his sister. Not some flunky. She saw the way he looked at Taylor at his own wedding. Everyone did. Theo is not the only one who made a connection with Taylor. Admit it. Ok. Fine. It is driving him absolutely insane. Wow! His feelings for Taylor are making him insane? Insane! He doesn't want Nicole to find out. Will she please call her friend? If he is so sure having Taylor move to another state will help him forget about her then why doesn't he do it himself? Because if he does that and Taylor finds out, she will come right back her just to prove a point. Lexie comments that it means she has a backbone. Please? No! She will not help him rearrange a woman's life because she makes him feel things that aren't convenient to his master plan. She says she is fond of Taylor right? Well, then wouldn't it be better if she stays away from him? So he is trying to protect Taylor? He is married to her sister! Right! There is no possibility of a good outcome here! If he is in love with Taylor...he cuts her off. He did not say anything about love. So, Taylor is just another one of his obsessions? The newest one? He saw her and then something happened. Something he had no control over. It must have been a very unique experience. He tells her it was like being struck my lightning. This is not a love song. It is life. Sometimes in life people meet the right person when they are married to the wrong person. Before he ships Taylor off to some other state, shouldn't he consider the possibility that maybe that is what happened with him? If Lexie will not phone her friend, he will find another way. He prepares to leave and she stops him. He is not unhappy. But he is not in love with her. He doesn't have room in his life for that kind of love. Please don't give her that. It is true. Nicole and he has an arrangement that makes him really happy. Sami and him are cooperating. He wants his life to stay where it is. She feels sorry for him. Why? Cause he doesn't share the domestic bliss she has with Abe? he will try to keep his chin up. She should tell him that he doesn't have to worry about Taylor. She talked to her and she said she found him attractive but that was before she knew he was married to her sister. Good. All he has to do is get over her. He will. Believe that. He leaves.

Taylor/Nicole/Faye at the DiMera Mansion
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Taylor is at the Pub and says it is just as well she dropped the scarf. It is her sister's husband. Her phone rings. She tells them she is sorry she ran out before but she hopes that her and EJ have a nice time on their date. Forget that. Taylor needs to get back there. Now! Nicole answers the door and Taylor wants to know what is up. She sounded serious. In walks Faye. She is sorry she couldn't make it to the wedding. Nicole didn't know she was coming. She just showed up and said she needed to talk to both of them. She is so happy her and Nikki are in the same town because she thinks they are going to need each other. Why? Faye tells them she couldn't come to their wedding cause she was in the hospital. They sent her home cause there is nothing more they could do for her. Cardiomyopathy (spelling?). It means an enlarged heart. THere is nothing they can do? He did put her on a bunch of medication. She is not really going to die right? The doctor told her that she should sign up with a nursing service and have them monitor her heart. The medication could help. But he also said that her condition could cause an arythmia. An irregular heart beat. That could be fatal. At any moment. She is not gonna die Nicole keeps saying. She married a DiMera. They will find the best doctors. She is not going back to Cleavland. She is staying there. In the guest house. She will only have to see them if she wants to. Taylor wants her to do it. It would be lovely but she can't. She thinks that she would be lonely in Salem. Nicole will fix that. Taylor can move in too! What? She can be with mom around the clock. Taylor has that dog poo look again. Nicole tries to convince her to stay. Taylor says no. There is no way she can live there. Why the hell not? Faye says she is not crazy about the idea neither but Nikki does have a point. She is not working right now and has nowhere to live. Taylor doesn't want to be Nicole's freeloading relative. She will find them an apartment. Promise. Nicole tries to talk her into it some more. Everyone knows that Taylor will not take advantage. She is the good girl of the family. That is why she cannot live there. She doesn't think it is a good idea to make all of these plans without consulting EJ or Stefano. Fine. She will. Why would they care if mom was living with a nurse in the guest house. She needs someone with her all of the time. Too bad it cannot be Taylor. Faye tells her if she is going to do this, then can she change her mind? At least think about it? Faye leaves to see the guest house with Harold. Taylor and Nicole are talking and EJ walks in. Nicole tells him that Faye came out of the blue and she is sick. EJ is sorry. Taylor and Nicole don;t want her living on her own anymore. Can she move into the guest house. Of course! You sure that is the best thing? She won't be alone cause Taylor is moving in too!

Brady/Victor/Maggie at the KMansion
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Brady is on the phone and is telling someone that since when does Titan Industries care whether or not something is legal. He doesn't care. Just make it happen. Enter Victor. Brady hangs up. Bad day? Nothing he can't handle. To Victor he looks like someone who is plans are falling apart right before his very eyes. They stare each other down. Victor tells him it is a shame that he never learned to play chess. It teaches you strategy, how to plan...instead of just winging up or waking up in the morning seeing that you have been screwed. Brady tells him that Titan is not a game. He had one ace and he played it. Too bad he didn't have a strategy as to what to do next. Always better to face defeat like a man or do it his way and have a drink. But whatever he does, Titan will be Victor's again. He tells Victor he keeps making one mistake over and over again. He keeps underestimating Brady. Victor wants to know how long this game is going to go on for? Until he wins Brady says. He thought Victor would be proud of him by now. He is exactly what Victor has wanted him to be. A man with killer instinct. He turned it on Victor. Brady tells him to be a Grandpa. Travel. Read books. Get to know his new grandson. Don't patronzie him. Victor is Titan. He built it with his own two hands. And then he lost it. Stuff happens, even to Victor. Why does Brady hate him? He doesn't hate him. He happens to love him. He loves him so much he feels the need to earn his respect. Unfortunately the only way he can do that is to hit him in the face with a 2X4. The company is his. Deal with it. (great scenes!) Both say they are not backing off. Brady tells him to walk away. He tells Victor to enjoy his life. Brady knows him better then that. He is not going to start building birdhouses or playing golf. You want to feel powerful? Fine. But why is it necessary to put Victor out to pasture. Why doesn't he make Victor his senior advisor? He can keep him from running the company into the ground. They both know that wouldn't work. First thing he would do is have Brady's secretary poison his cup while he organized his work. Has he seen the latest profit and loss sheet? They are far from being run into the ground. If he cannot be proud of Brady then he should be proud of himself because he is the man who made him who he is. Victor tells him that what is wrong with him is that no matter how wheeling and dealing he does to get back at Victor, he still thinks of himself as a two bit drunk who cannot hold on to a woman. Not even a low life money grubbing **** like Nicole. Brady tells Victor that his problem is that he is so in love with the legend of Victor Kiriakis that he doesn't see what is going on. He is just an old man who lost his grip. Maggie walks in to hear Brady yelling at Victor and tells him to stop it right now. Both of them. They look at her. What the hell is wrong with them? Brady is his grandson. Isabella's son. How can he say things like that to him? Brady's phone rings. He smugly tells them it is Titan's lawyer. He has business to take care of. Victor tells him the battle may be over but the war is still on. Bring it on. Oh, he will! This is just insanity Maggie tells him. He started it. Is he 6? He has to put an end to this. Listen to what Brady has to say. Victor means this in the nicest possible way but butt out! Butt out? Why should she? How is it her concern? Because that is how she is. Does she always sticks her nose in where it doesn't belong? Yes! When it is someone that she loves!
 
Jennifer/Maggie at the Horton House
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jenn is on the computer at the Horton house when Maggie comes in and tells her lasagna is in fridge for her and Abigail. Jack is online. Apparently he is traveling. He is in India at an ashram (spelling?)..Maggie wants to know if he mentioned anything about all the messages her and Julie had left for him telling him something serious had happened? No. Nothing. But he does say that he is stripped away all the pretentions. He is cleansed and seeing life in a whole new way. Maybe her and Julie called the wrong cell phone? But maybe he did and just doesn't care Jennifer says. Maggie hates to see her so sad. She is sad because she had such high hopes. Her and Jack will never have the marriage her and Mickey had. They always fought to be with each other. That is the operative word. Fighting. Maybe struggle is what makes them soul mates? Uncle Mickey was Maggie's. It is hard to fight with someone who is in the room with you physically but not emotionally. That's what happened. They drew further and further apart. He left her mentally way before he left her physically. He is off finding himself. What is he looking for? Whatever it is, it is not with her. It seems like Jack and her don't have their kind of love anymore. Maybe they never did. What is she going to do. She has no idea. Abigail thinks she should have an affair. She is just so hurt that she wants Jack to hurt too. Jennifer is a wonderful, beautiful woman and she deserves to be happy. She just feels so stuck right now. Does Jack know? No. Maybe the first step is to change that. Jennifer is on the computer again reading Jack's blog. He refers to himself as selfless. She laughs but picks up the phone and leaves a message. Wow. Crazy good to hear his voice even if it is a voice recording and not him. In case he is wondering where she is, she is in Salem with Abigail. She is great. Thanks for asking. But you know, she is not so fine. She ran into trouble a while back and it is gonna sound crazy but someone cut her heart out and metaphorically speaking it really happened and she almost died because he wasn't here. What else is really weird is that he hurt her heart more then someone who cut it with the knife so take that and burn it out of his karma. She throws the phone.

Abigail/Chad/Will/Gabi/T at Java
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Abigail is shocked they know him. Does his girlfriend stay with their kid when he hangs out with his old friends from high school? They tell her that Chad doesn't have a kid. But she saw them together. Are they sure it was him. Yeah, he is the jerk. Chad walks up and replies "yeah, and these are my friends, does that make them jerks too?" Awkward. Chad! Hey! I guess he already met his cousin Abigail. Cousin? I guess she told cousin Will about their first meeting. What a first impression he made. What she said was he was there with his son. He tells them he was with Johnny. Will's brother? But he said he was here with his son and he was not married to the mother. No. She decided he was his son. He said he wasn't married to the mother because his mother is Will's mother. She is married to someone else. He was just taking Johnny back to his father. She is so embarassed. Will's phone rings. It's Caroline. He excuses himself. Gabi is really sorry. She has this thing about guys who don't try to make sure a girl doesn't get pregnant. She knows any friend of Will's can never be that kind of guy. Gabi looks awkward. What? What did Abigail say now? Chad should just tell her. Chad says that he is totally wrong about him. Gabi is sorry. Chad says it's fine. Will has to go help Gramma at the Pub. Waitress never showed. Gabi offers to help him at the Pub. Will Chad and Abigail be OK by themselves? Sure. Why was she not totally wrong about him. He tells her he got a girl pregnant in high school. He is a father? No. Not anymore. His baby died. She is really sorry. Thank you. Are they still together? No. She is in New York. The only thing they had in common was Grace. He is the total jerk she thought he was. Her mom always tells her that she thinks she knows everything. When she gets older she will figure out that life is not so cut and dry. She always blew that off but maybe she knows what she is talking about. He tells her that he shouldn't have gotten Mia pregnant but all he can tell her is that he will never forget Grace. He is just trying to be a guy she would be proud to call her dad. (Really, really nice scene. I am falling in love with Chad more and more everyday! LOL) Why did she leave London for Salem U? Salem feels like home. Tad comes in. Chad introduces them. Kinsey is reading this What's happening in Salem blog. She read that he was best man at EJ DiMera's wedding?!?!? Yeah, he was. Because he is Stefano DiMera's son?!? What Abigail says. He tells them that he just found out about it a few months ago himself. When was he going to tell T? Maybe when he got used to the idea himself. What is there to get used to? He leaves to get a coffee and then Chad has to tell him all about it. Chad apologizes for the interruptions. It's fine. She has to leave. He tries to stop her. He thought they were having a good moment. If it's T then he can tell him to leave. It's not T she tells him. It's him. What did he do now he asks her. It isn't what he did. He is a DiMera. As if he had a choice in the matter. She has seen the things they do. She is sorry. Have a nice life. T comes back to the table. What happened to Abigail? Dude she was hot. Forget about her. She doesn't matter. Aww. Did Chad break her heart already? In order to do that, she would have to have a heart.

Will/Gabi/Dario at the Brady Pub
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Will and Gabi close up the pub. They are off the hook. He doesn't know what he would have done if she wasn't there. Should he call Abigail and see how everything went? No. Let them work it out. He would rather focus on her anyway. They kiss. We see someone spying on them from outside the Pub. They stop kissing and she wants to know what he is looking at. Don't be alarmed, but she only has one earring. She panics. They have to find it. They stand up and he finds it. She is going to put them away because it would kill her if she ever lost something that he gave her. They hug. It shows someone spying on them again from the outside. It shows us Dario's face. Caroline texts will to come into the kitchen cause she has tip money for them. He runs to the back and Gabi says she will be right back and runs upstairs. Dario walks into the pub. He looks through Gabi's purse and takes a small silver bag. I think it is the bag she put her earrings in. Will comes back in and Gabi notices the earrings are gone. Will saw her put them in there right? They are gone. She starts panicking. We see Dario at the pier. HE takes the earrings out and looks at them. These are worth some money he says.

Next on Days:
~~~~~~~~~~~
Maggie asks Victor what is it. Victor says "this" and leans in and kisses her.
Rafe2 asks Sami where she is going and she says out.
Nicole asks EJ and Taylor what is the problem?
 
Thanks missvicki!! I wasn't sure if you were still doing today's or not since it didn't get posted last night. I know Barb will appreciate seeing this! :)

Ya know, I have a bone to pick with the writers...if Fay has a heart issue then Nicole should want to send her back to Cleveland so Fay can be monitored by doctors at the Cleveland Clinic which has one of the world's best cardiac treatment facilities. Oh wait, let me guess, Dr. Super Dan to the rescue, with help from Super Nurse Melanie. :rolleyes:

So how much further are they going to bash Jack into the ground? Now he's in India at an ashram?? First a walkabout in the outback and now this. Stupid.
 
Oh, what a nice surprise, miss vicky, I was somewhat in a panic, as had not figured I would have to do the summary today.......and now I don't. Thank you!

I love this line...
Taylor has that dog poo look again.
I could just see that look in my mind's eye. LOLOL
 
I agree with you, Sparkster. Having Fay leave Cleveland due to a heart ailment was S-T-U-P-I-D!!!!! Since I'm in between Cleveland and Pittsburgh, people are sent to Cleveland Clinic, Allegheny, or University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. When I had my emergency heart surgery, there was a video conference between my surgeons and the ones at UPMC.

Needless to say, the EJ / Taylor scenes make me want to :sick:
 
The man who stole the earrings called Gabi " Chica"....which means "girl" in Spanish.

This is very odd about Fay, as she was supposed to return very short term.
So, the writers went so far as to actually learn the name of an actual heart ailment, and even the word "arhythmia", but take her from Cleveland to tiny town Salem.
Yep, sounds like the best cardiac specialist in the U.S. resides there, ....what is his name again? Oh, yeah, Dr. Daniel Jonas...right?

But then...look at Jennifer, prancing around without a single ache or pain, eating lasagna, apparently. I tell ya, that Salem water is miraculous, almost as good as that at Lourdes. :sarcasm:

P.S. Nicole was trying to convince Fay to stay there, Fay was reluctant, talking of having no friends around any more. And I am sitting saying....".how come you don't mention Kate, Nicole?". If I remember right, Fay not only got the down and out Kate a job at the Hudson St. Diner, but also opened her home to her, let her move in.
 
How do we know the mystery man's name???

Because we know that the guy playing Dario started airing today and it's not that difficult to make the deduction. :)

Wow, is EJ a spoiled little brat or what going to his big sis to have her take care of his Taylor problem. :rolleyes:

Loved the back and forth with Maggie/Victor at the end of the episode:
Victor: He started it!
Maggie: What are ya, six years old?!
LOLOLOL!!! Can't wait to see the continuation of their scenes tomorrow with that kiss! :kiss:
 
Sorry, not warming up to Abby. Hope she liked the taste of tootsies after putting her foot in her mouth with Chad (and the comment about not being the type of guy to get a girl pregnant).
 
Sparks......your signature is making sense even more than it ever did. LOLOL

Am so glad Lexie said NO. Loved, too, when she called him on his newest obsession...his latest "Sami". At least someone in that family has his number! Let's hope Chad doesn't get sucked into them all there.
 
P.S. Nicole was trying to convince Fay to stay there, Fay was reluctant, talking of having no friends around any more. And I am sitting saying....".how come you don't mention Kate, Nicole?". If I remember right, Fay not only got the down and out Kate a job at the Hudson St. Diner, but also opened her home to her, let her move in.

I instantly thought of Kate and the Hudson St. Diner as well. :)

And I actually liked EJ and Lexie's talk, specifically how much character analysis there was. Lexie's comparison of Taylor as the "new Sami" and his "latest obsession" was spot on, as well as her calling him out for being irritated by things (and so-called feelings) he couldn't control. It's scenes like that one that make me think the writers at least have some clue as to what they have made EJ into.
 
Thanks for the write up Missvickie! I've decided to read before I watch since I watch online the next day before work...the last couple of days have not been breakfast friendly. This looks safe!

So Fay has heart disease...odd that Nicole wants Taylor to move in with Fay unless it's some kind of control thing over the two of them. Nicole has never been close to either of them. Hmmm.
