Sorry folks - the show cut out here for 9 minutes (from :39 to :48), so I missed a few scenes. Would appreciate "filling in" the blanks for those who can. [Caught it on youtube and filled in the blanks! Thanks DaysD!!]
Daniel, Serena, andSilent Bob Parker are eating at the Club and talking about how well Parker likes the elephant (which was from Eric's collection). Serena says she knows the elephant, Parker has good taste. She draws a picture of it which he positively IDs, she says it brings good luck. Eric arrives, he's not interrupting, and Serena is glad he's here. They kiss. They talk about the elephant some more. Daniel and Parker are going to leave, say goodbye to Serena & Eric. Serena explains she's been moody, but not because of them, she's very happy with him. She has to head to the hospital, but they make plans to meet up later. Depart.
Nicole is walking through the bushy clearing, talking to herself, about how Jeannie T screwed over Brady and Daniel, and how even she couldn't be stupid enough to tangle with Melanie. She reasons that Daniel will be furious when Daniel finds out about Jeannie T targeting Melanie, then has a fantasy where she reveals this to him and he's appreciative, decides to call him. She stops though, deciding she needs Melanie on her side before going to Daniel...now how can she muzzle "that rabid dog Theresa"? She gets an idea, goes to make a call. Later, she's at Eric's apartment, immediately says she's not there to talk about Serena, but about his "crazy cousin Theresa" who is out of control. Nicole declares that Jeannie needs an intervention, thinks it might be better coming from Eric, whom Theresa won't see as an enemy. Why is she doing this, Eric wonders; he posits it's because she has a big heart. Outside, Nicole breathes deeply, telling herself to focus on Daniel.
At the hospital, Jeannie T confronts Melanie about Mandrake. Jeannie T's getting angry, loud, when Brady runs over to break it up. Jeannie T reports that Melanie's been spying on her, is really on a tear, Abby comes over to ask them to keep it quiet, Jeannie tells her to shut up, tries to get Melanie to admit to spying on her. She gets violent, Brady pulls her away; Abby and Melanie talk about how crazy, etc., Jeannie T is, though Melanie admits this time there's a reason. Brady pulls her to a waiting room area, Jeannie T is ranting that she's kept away from Melanie, but Melanie's been investigating her. She relays how Melanie was looking into Mandrake, a fertility specialist. Brady is clueless, Jeannie T admits she doesn't know what this all means, but Brady better tell Melanie to keep off her back. At the nurses station, Melanie vows to keep away from Jeannie T, wonders what she's telling Brady now. Abby knows it will be a lie, is sure Brady is on to Jeannie T. Brady takes Melanie out, Abby and Jeannie exchange dirty looks.
Eve and Paige are talking about the Jen/JJ confrontation in the square, she flashes back to Jen finding them; Jen isn't just mad at JJ, but at her, too. Eve says that Paige needs to stay away from JJ...and Jen; Paige is upset because Jen's never been anything but nice to her, Eve goes on about the royalties, how Jen cornered her at the hospital, etc. (Some truth, some fib, including how Jen had her keys.) Eve's not sure how much more she can take, they have to leave Salem. Paige thinks she's overreacting, but agrees perhaps should leave town...but she won't go with her. Eve tries to get Paige to transfer to Stanford, rehashes how she'll run into JJ, Jennifer, etc. Paige thinks none of this has to do with her, Jennifer will be fine when Eve leaves. Eve keeps pushing about how crazy Jen is;Paige finally leaves.
At the Horton House, JJ is telling Jen he only wanted for Paige to be happy, but he's lost that chance. Jen doesn't think so. She brings in some tea, tells him that she's hurt, angry, but nothing changes that he's her son and that she loves him. Jen declares that JJ was victimised by the "predator" Eve because he's Jen's son, and Jen wasn't paying attention. She should have been stronger when JJ was dealing with the Jack/Kayla situation. JJ tells Jen it wasn't her fault, but Jen declares they're in this together. She could never hate him, not her "miracle child," she assures him. They hug, but she needs to know one more thing about Eve. There's no more to tell, JJ asserts; they talk about how it would hurt Paige to learn the truth, but neither of them will tell her. JJ doesn't want Paige to hate him even more, and he'll never love anyone else. Jen knows about loss; JJ feels the situation isn't comparable but he lost Paige on his own fault. She talks about losing Daniel, how much it hurt; JJ is sure he'll never be happy again, nor does he deserve it. Jen tells him to stop talking like that, nothing is more important to a mother...she trails off, and tells JJ to listen to her carefully. Jen changes the subject, has to work what she's about to say out in her head, is going to go for a walk; if he wants to tell Abby, he can, but maybe wait a little while. They will figure this out; hug.
Second Half
Jen calls Eve and tells her to stay put. A few moments later, Jen slams her bag on Eve's table, Eve says Paige could be back at any moment, Jennifer tells her she better shut up and listen then. Jen declares that she is the only hope Eve has for Paige ever to speak to her again. She orders her to stay away from JJ. Eve sits, hears her out. Eve's secret weapon has always been that she could never be hurt, but she loves Paige, and doesn't want to lose her. Now, Jen has her "on her knees" and at her mercy. (Several metaphors of this nature.) Eve begs her not to tell Paige. Whether Jen spills the beans or not is up to Eve. Eve destroyed JJ's compass, Paige still loves JJ; Eve tries to leave, Jen orders her to sit down, calls Eve trash, orders her not to tell Jeannie, wants it to stay between the 3 of them. What does Jen want? Jen wants to give JJ/Paige a chance to be together again.
At Daniel's, Parker continues to play with the elephant. Nicole shows up, asks for a quick minute, needs to ask him for a favour, for him not to be so much like himself, "What Would Nicole Do?"
Serena calls Melanie trying to arrange a meeting at Melanie's place; Melanie (at the Kmansion) will have to call her back, Brady comes in behind her looking furrowed. Later, she is frantic, looking for the elephant. Navidad enters with it, asking if she's "Looking for this?" Navidad is upset that Melanie doesn't have the right elephant, "he" will be here soon.
At the hospital, Jeannie has attempted to call Mandrake, wonders why Clint would have been calling a fertility doctor. Drugs, she thinks, but still can't figure out Melanie's connection; maybe, at least, she got her in trouble with Brady. Later, she goes to Eric's apartment, wondering if Melanie ratted her out. Not Melanie, Nicole, he explains.
At the Kmansion, Brady asks if what Jeannie T said was true. Melanie admits she's been asking questions, had heard Mandrake checking in on Jeannie, found out she was a fertility doctor. They argue about how he told her to stay away, she sarcastically jokes that she got out of line, storms out.
JJ is playing his guitar when Abigail comes home and, seeing that he looks miserable, asks what's wrong. Abby is confused, she thought the Roxanne thing was a ploy, now JJ's saying it's over. She has to go back to work, he'll explain later.
Eric tells Jeannie T that although Nicole & him are over, and Nicole came to him because she's concerned about Theresa. Melanie could get her fired, bla bla. Jeannie T weeps a bit, Eric professes to be on her side, gives her tough love, tells her to grow up.
CLOSER
Jen tells Eve that they are the only 3 who know about JJ/Eve, they can keep it that way. JJ can get another girl, but Eve can't get another daughter. Eve says she will give blessing to JJ/Paige over her dead body, Jen says whatever; Paige arrives.
