Days of Our Lives

If we all thought the lackluster "cliffhanger" episode before the 2 week hiatus for the Olympics would mean a slam bang welcome back episode when it returned.....not hardly.
Maggie is looking fondly at a picture of her & Victor on their wedding day, and begins to reminisce about it when Victor enters the living room. They both agree they are happy, that while their wedding did not have all the flowers & trimmings, it was perfect for them. She mentions them not even having a dance, he claims 2 left feet anyway. But promises they WILL have a dance. She agrees, that no matter what happens, they will find a way. Then it was how they came through the past year, the death of Daniel, loss of their home, Summer's part in the kidnapping of Tate. Victor doesn't want her blaming herself, not her fault. They talk of her upcoming surgery TODAY, and having a positive attitude. Nicole arrives, bringing Maggie a small picture of Daniel, which Maggie loves.
Next, Maggie is at the hospital, Dr. Hockman is sending her off to the anthologist Victor thanks him for coming out of retirement for this.
Chloe is tossing and turning, dreaming of Deimos learning about the baby, and accusing her of being a *bleep*. She wakes up as Claire arrives, but runs to the bathroom when Claire mentions bringing bagels. With Chloe out of the room, Claire notices a brochure on terminating a pregnancy, but puts it down, rumming thru her purse as Chloe returns. She babbles about not realizing Chloe was still not feeling well, but Chloe realizes she has seen the brochure, assures Claire she is not terminating the pregnancy, and says Philip does know, but to not say anything, keep it between them.
Shawn & Belle sit at Club TBD, talking of Claire’s decision not to attend college, etc. Belle has tried to reason with her, Shawn knows that she can still apply after being off a year, thinks they should. As they discuss, Belle admits she is being overprotective, Shawn thinks they should just let Claire make her own mistakes, and figure it all out for herself. She says he sounds like Philip, which ticks him off a bit...he is tired of every conversation they have ending up with Phil being mentioned. She is sorry, promises it won’t happen again. Philip walks in, Shawn spots him, kisses Belle, they do a bit of smooching, Phil watches a bit. Finally Shawn has to leave, Phil comes over to Belle, and talks a bit about her being a not so silent partner, getting in his face about Claire being Chloe’s asst., etc. Upshot is, he is going to look for someone to buy her out, which ticks her off, even tho she promises to keep her lip zipped. She leaves abruptly.
Nicole goes to see Deimos, who is playing a lively tune on the piano. She has thought it over, and decided to come and run Basic Black. She admits that what he did for Maggie, (getting the famous doc out of retirement) was what made her change her mind. He immediately is pushing for more, she reminds him, she just lost her fiance’ a few months ago, and he just spent 30 years in prison, plus was engaged to Kate just a short time ago. Slow down, take it easy. He says her fiance’ died just a month before their wedding, she should have learned a lesson about waiting. He talks of having a family...and Nicole immediately tells him all about being shot a few years ago, being told she could never have children, but got pregnant twice, losing both before carrying to term. Doctors had warned her, and Deimos wants a family, should think about it more. He starts talking of adopting, surrogate....then stops...knowing , as nicole said, just one step at a time. He wants to call Dr. Hockman, Nicole is going to hospital, tells him to come along. He is rather reluctant, but agrees.
Claire comes to Chloe’s empty apt., sits and begins writing, singing a bit, as she composes a song. She turns on some guitar music to accompany her. Chloe comes in, thinks Claire has a beautiful voice, Claire says she was writing the song for Chloe. Philip arrives, wants to talk to Chloe alone, Claire leaves. He wants to talk about the baby, asks if she intends to tell Deimos. No. So, then we have to have a baby daddy. Chloe doesn’t think it that easy to convince anyone, but Philip is hinting at himself being the one. With their own past history, it is easy to believe. He cares a great deal for Chloe & Parker, promises he will not interfere one iota with any parenting decision she makes. So, do you want Deimos to know or not.
Claire goes to the park, sits on a bench. and starts writing and singing the song. Shawn happens by, stands behind her, listening, smiling all the while.
Victor is pacing, Sonny shows up, hugs, Vic is glad he is there. In another area Deimos & Nicole arrive, he asks the nurse to tell Dr. Hockman he is there for an update. Nicole figures the doc is probably with Maggie.
Dr. Hockman comes out, telling Vic the surgery went beautifully, she came thru wonderfully, is in recovery. Vic is insistent whether it worked...but the doctor says that while everything looks really good, until the swelling goes down, and healing begins, they won’t know exactly. He says Vic can go see her now. Victor is at Maggie’s bedside, Sonny standing on the side, as Maggie’s eyes begin to flutter open. Amazingly (maybe I missed something) she doesn’t appear to have any IVs, or is hooked to any machines. Gotta say Salem is just a miracle town, isn’t it? Victor tells her how the doctor said it all went so well, She thanks God, then says “and Deimos....as Nicole & Deimos arrive. Victor scowls.
