For the record (and I know we don't do exact summaries but I had to check, LOL), Eric said, "Holly begged" to go play with Ari and Thomas. Of course this could have been non-verbally. (There's even special terms for this type of communication and its responses.)
I suppose if they'd said, "Holly whined to go play with the kids," people would have thought Eric was a jerk. LOL
Finally - WOW I have no words for the Sami/Kayla scenes! Awful...there are DiMeras and their ilk lurking all about town, not to mention (as said above), her precious "two kids" (wherever they are) by that lout, and they are going to drag this identity reveal out? Insulting to our intelligence, at best.
