Summary: Another really good show here! More drama as Sami gets some payback. Wonderful scene with Abe and Brandon (get out the kleenex) as Brandon decides to leave town. John and Marlena team up to get Tony out of their lives as she has an idea. BRAVO to James Reynolds (Abe), Alison Sweeny (Sami), Ariane Zucker (Nicole) and Matt Cedeno (Brandon) in particular.

DOT COM
Philip’s outside looking in the window when John calls him from the penthouse. He got the lab results back on the piece of metal Philip found at the warehouse and wants to meet with him and discuss it. Philip tells him it’s not a good idea for them to be seen talking, so John says he’ll send someone else in his place.

Shawn and Belle talk about the action movie they just saw..he loved it and she demands equal chick flick time. She remembers the kiss with Philip as Shawn suggests they call Philip and Mimi to come over (shouldn’t it be Mimi and Rex???). She’s not in the mood to see Philip, figuring he’s too busy anyway. Phil joins Belle and Shawn and learns that they were talking about him. Belle comments she was just saying he left Salem a spoiled rich kid and came back as a macho stud. Shawn asks what HE is then. Belle says a jock. Phil says jocks are kids and studs are men. Shawn is mildly offended and essentially calls Philip out to prove he’s not a kid, but he and Belle start to Belle head out as Philip has other things to do. They’re interrupted by a reporter from the newspaper. Thinking he wants Belle and him, Philip says no, but the reporter wants Shawn about how he stopped the mayor from leaving town. He says Philip and Belle had their 15 minutes of fame, LOL!!

When Shawn and the reporter go off to talk, Belle and Philip talk about their kiss in the warehouse. He’s surprised she didn’t tell Shawn about it, but she explains thinking it was no big deal and he’d want to know what they were doing in there, etc. A message appears on their computer monitor saying Philip’s latte is getting cold and six o’clock. Nervously Philip looks around and sees his contact as Belle figures out the message and time being a location. She asks Philip if guys come on to him all the time like this (oh paleez…) He says it’s his ride back to base. The guy comes over and introduces himself Thomas Edward Kramer, but everyone call hims Tek. He mentions Belle’s name which puzzles her. He says he saw her on Love is Blind when Philip chose her. Shawn joins them and the guys supposedly are heading back to the base as Shawn and Belle leave for a burger. Shawn has a feeling Tec is not a marine. Belle wonders if Philip got himself into trouble again and should they talk to him about it. Inside Phil learns Tec was testing Belle by using her name and she passed with flying colors. He suggests they use her (don’t think he’s run that by their boss, her father) The job comes first above family and friends. The steel casing Philip found had a lead underbelly. Most likely it’s used in containers that are run through the xray machines. The hunt is on.

JOHN & MARLENA
Marlena wakes up from a dream of when Tony kissed her (why is she in bed while the rest of Salem’s bright eyed and bushey tailed?). She calls someone saying she needs to see them. She asks to come by in the morning to talk about what happened. She hangs up as John opens the door (after talking to Philip) asking who she was talking to. She tells him Tony and she’s going to the mansion tomorrow to talk to him. She agrees they need Tony out of their lives and wants to help. He asks what happened between her and Tony. John wants to protect his family and they break into godfather talk as they decide to help each other bring down Tony (cute). All they have to do is find Tony’s weakness. Later, holding a red dress, Marlena thinks she knows Tony’s weakness.

THE HOSPITAL
Sami rants at Lexie about the way she switched the test results. Lexie tells Sami she KNEW she’d switch the results and planted the false results so that Sami could show her true colors and switch them. She knew it would show Brandon that Sami always puts her own needs in front of anyone elses. Now it’s up to Brandon (who’s silently watching) to do what he feel’s best. “The jigs up Sami”, Lexie says. “Your days of playing God with people’s lives is over! Now she knows what it feels like to be played with.” Roman won’t let Sami walk away from Lexie’s lecture.. Lexie reminds Sami how she switched Belle’s dna test results, then Will’s so that poor Austin would think he was the father. Sami says poor Austin left her crying at the altar (as opposed to crying after the altar with Brandon??). Lexie was hoping to save Brandon the same fate, but was too late. He can get an annulment though. Lexie tells Sami she herself is finally happy being a wife and mother now. Sami fires back that she’s happy too as Brandon loves her. Lexie asks if he does, then where is he? Sami turns around and once seeing Brandon’s gone, rushes after him. Eugenia has grabbed him in the hall apologizing for not telling him sooner. He pulls away as Sami rushes out and manages to escape in the elevator.

Sami cues the next elevator as Nicole takes her opportunity to slam dunk Ms. Brady. Nicole blasts Sami that she wrecks other’s lives. Her brother Eric loved her (Nicole) and Sami made as much trouble as she could for them. Nicole is crying as she reminds Sami how she blackmailed her, made her life with Lucas hell at the mansion and even tried to pull the cord to her life support. Sami pleads innocent and Nicole says it’s almost worth all the misery she put her and her brother through to see Sami’s life fall apart now. There are many others who would like to see her dead and suggests Sami do herself a favor and jump out a window.

Sami tries to leave but Roman stops her. Kate’s next to him and Sami wants her out of her face. Roman refuses, saying Kate’s with him. She doesn’t want a lecture after Roman tells Sami how disappointed he is with her and now Will’s lost another father figure. She tells Roman she’s doing this for Will and in a few weeks Roman was going to walk her down the aisle when she got married. Roman realizes that Lexie is right, Sami doesn’t learn from her mistakes. The ends do not justify the means. Sami cries and sobs. Sami tries the guilt trip about if her parents had been with her to teach her right from wrong while growing up she wouldn’t be like this. Roman tells her to stop right there and do not even try to blame him or her mother. She’s got to take responsibility for her own actions. He walks away after saying softly how ashamed he is of her. Kate softly tells Sami she deserved that and follows Roman.

Lucas asks if she’s having fun yet, as he is. She tells him this is all his fault and he’s happy to take the blame. He got to get her back and not even get his hands dirty. He tells her he’s on top and she’s in the dirt as she leaves in the elevator.

SAMI’S APARTMENT
Brandon’s packing his bag in the apartment. Nicole arrives, announces herself from the hall. She invites him to move into the mansion with her and Victor. She knows he gave up his loft, but the mansion is like an armed fortress and he’d be safe from Sami there. He tells her he’s moving away. He called Taylor and she offered to share her place with him in Chicago. He takes the blame for being taken. He knew what happened between Sami and Austin and should have known better. Nicole cries, knowing she sounds pathetic, but she hates that he’s leaving and needs him. He tells her a married woman shouldn’t need her brother and she doesn’t tell him differently. Abe knocks on the door and Nicole asks if he can handle this (not knowing the truth about Abe and Brandon). He tells her yes and Nicole kisses her brother goodbye and leaves.

Abe asks Brandon where he’s going and when he’ll be back. Brandon tells him he won’t be back. He quit his job and there’s nothing in Salem for him now. Abe tells him he can’t move on from the past without processing what happened in it. If he had known, if Faye had told him, he would have been there. He would have been his father in more then name. He wouldn’t have turned his back on his child. When he first came to Salem and saw how much Brandon hated him, he should have had some recognition…but it never occurred to him. Did Brandon think he knew that he was his son and had abandoned him? Brandon knew that thinking would have gotten him into trouble. Abe mentions what happened between with Lexie and he’s having a lot of difficulty with that. Brandon tells him it wasn’t about him. Abe finds it hard to believe that Brandon didn’t realize he was sleeping with his father’s wife. Brandon asks Abe to sit and talk about it. Softly Brandon admits thinking about revenge, justice and payback about what had happened to him. Brandon tells him Lexie thought it was over with her and Abe and it just happened, just.once. Abe softly says he still wants to kill him and does Brandon get that. Brandon nods, saying yes (so civilized these men) Brandon questions if bonding between them would be right now? Abe figures it’s normal for a father and son to do so. Brandon asks Abe if he could forgive him for what he took from him? Abe says Lexie doesn’t belong to him, they chose each other. Abe asks if they both can forgive each other. Confused, Brandon hasn’t had that much experience doing that. Putting his arm on Brandon’s shoulder, he tells him hate only hurts and to do it for the family he’ll have one day. The steps he took today will change his future. Looking him in the eye, Abe orders Brandon to stay away from selfish women who will only use him (ROFLMAO!!) and to stay in touch with his mother and sisters and him. They all love him so much. He smiles saying he has two sons born to him today and he now has a little brother. Abe offers to bring his brother up to see him some day soon and hopes to get an invitation to his wedding one day. He’d like him to put away the anger. Brandon doesn’t know who he is without the anger. Abe tells him he does…he’s THEODORE BRANDON CARVER’S big brother. Abe says he and Lexie wanted to give his little brother his name. Brandon breaks down in tears and goes into Abe’s arms for a hug (get out the Kleenex!!!)

Abe returns to Lexie and finds her holding Theodore. He tells her that Brandon is leaving town and she asks if Abe’s okay. He will be and takes the baby to hold him. He looks at the baby, saying MY SON, as Brandon watches from the doorway. After hearing Abe and Lexie say how much they have to be thankful for, he quietly walks away without interrupting.

Sami returns to the apartment and finds a note from Brandon to Will (that guy’s FAST!!) saying he has to leave and it’s not Will’s fault, it’s his. Sami breaks down while reading it and drops it on the table. Later Lucas comes back home and hears Sami sobbing though her door. He walks in and finds her crying on the couch and says aww…poor Sami. She gets up off the couch, walks over and right hook punches him smack in the face, knocking him down as the previews for tomorrow roll….

Marlena (in her sleeveless red dress) is at Tony’s as they suggest going to his bedroom, saying what better place for them to enjoy themselves.

Chloe tells Philip she won’t leave Brady. Philip tells her she’s making a big mistake and will regret it.

Sami storms into Tony’s study pointing her finger at him. She tells him he’s just like his father by the only thing that turns them on is screwing with other people’s lives. Tony and Lucas just laugh at her….as the credits roll…

Summary: Lexie fesses up to Abe…Sami gets busted…Chloe makes a heartbreaking decision…Bo and Hope get their man. Really good show here! Lots of drama and some really good payoffs. Thumbs up performances from James Reynolds (Abe), Renee Jones (Lexie), Alison Sweeny (Sami), Ariane Zucker (Nicole) and Matt Cedeno (Brandon) in particular.

At the Blue Note…
Chloe is moping around as Brady fetches her some tea (the Salem cure-all). He tries to cheer her up as she says she blew her big chance. He tries once again to convince her to go to Europe and she thinks that he is breaking up with her. He denies it, trying to get her to put herself first, and not give up her dreams. But she says that her decision is final, she is NOT leaving. Later, with tears flowing down her cheeks, she and Brady slow dance to a beautiful song. (Apparently he finally convinced her to go).

In Texas …
Bo and Hope are asleep as someone puts a gun to Bo’s head. He wakes up and kicks the gun away as Hope wakes up screaming. The guy is one of Vin’s goons and they struggle as Bo takes him down demanding info. As Hope holds him at gunpoint, Bo finds out that Vin sent him and that Bo has a price on his head. Bo says “well, let’s go collect”. Later they set up a sting for Vin. The guy signals Vin to come out to his car as Bo and Hope watch. Bo sneaks up behind Vin and holds him at gunpoint as Hope cuffs him. He puts Vin in the car with Hope and tells him if he makes a move…shoot him. Vin asks her how she got mixed up with that cop. Hope turns and with a sparkle in her eye, says he’s no cop…he’s my HUSBAND. Later, they arrive at the store to say their goodbyes to Carlos and his mother Carmen (I don’t think we have seen her before). She is startled to see Vin there, but Bo assures her that he will not bother them anymore. Later, Carlos and Carmen see them off with hugs and food as Bo gives Carlos an old sheriff’s badge. He tells him to keep watch over the town and if he needs his help, just call. They put Vin in the back of the car, but Bo is uneasy having Hope drive all the way back to Salem alone in the car with Vin. So she has an idea. Later, we see her in Bo’s leather jacket and taking his helmet. She tells him that she will see him at the rest stop. (Yes SHE is going to take the motorcycle). She gets on and takes off, leaving a smiling Bo. (Bo & Hope fans will love their scenes).

Going to the Chapel and I’m Gonna get BUSTED…
The wedding begins at the Justice of the Peaces as Sami tries her best to speed things up. Brandon is wary and pulls her aside to ask what is going on. She says she wants it short and sweet. They start back as Sami keeps on rushing the justice. Brandon asks her AGAIN why she is in such a hurry and suggests they rethink it. But she persists and he gives in. They start once again and the third time seems to be the charm and they are finally married. (LOL as she asks the justice to jump to the I do’s). As soon as they kiss, she rushes the justice off to sign the paperwork.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Nicole becomes very impatient to see Sami’s head on a platter. Kate is on the phone with Roman asking for his help in finding Sami. Later, Roman shows up wanting to know what is going on as he put an APB out on Sami's car. But Lucas won’t explain to anyone. LOL as Nicole says “whatever it is, it had better be good…I’m missing ‘Fear Factor’ for this!” Roman gets a call, telling him that Sami’s car has been spotted at some address. Lucas checks and learns that it is the Justice of the Peace. So, everyone rushes over there.

Lucas and company arrive looking for Sami (Nicole picks Sami's bouquet up off the floor and smacks it into Lucas' gut...guess the sister in law didn't want it either), but find off that they have already left for the Salem Inn, so off they go again. Sami and Brandon have now arrived at their room and kiss. Sami is thrilled that she is finally married. As Brandon goes to take a shower, she orders champagne and lots of chocolate covered strawberries from room service and bounces on the bed…a happy little camper that she has gotten away with it. Brandon comes out towel-clad and they are kissing when there is a knock at the door. Thinking it is room service, Brandon puts a robe on (must come with the room?) over his towel and Sami opens the door, only to find Lucas, Nicole, Kate and Roman to come pushing their way in. (LOL…just too funny for words). Brandon demands that they all leave, asking Nicole what is going on. She says that Lucas is in charge of this little field trip, ask him. As Brandon threatens to toss them out, Lucas blurts out that Sami switched Lexie’s paternity test and congratulates Brandon on being a new father. Brandon asks Sami if it is true and she stammers around until she finally admits that it is true, but she did it all for love. Brandon storms off to the bathroom to get dressed as Sami pleads at the door for forgiveness. He comes out dressed and storms out, saying he is going to see Abe and Lexie. Being quite the little bunch of troopers they are…all follow along. But as all of this was going on, room serviced had arrived. On her way out the door, Nicole sticks a large chocolate covered strawberry in her mouth then grabs the bottle of champagne, saying “waste not…want not” and takes it with her. (ROFLMAO!!!)

Meanwhile, at the Hospital…
Lexie has been begging for forgiveness from Abe and bracing herself for the worst. Abe realizes when it happened (remember, he went to Brandon’s that night he kicked her out and found her scarf there). He says he had a feeling but never wanted to believe it. She continues to apologize and grovel for their son’s sake. She asks if he can ever forgive her. He feels that Brandon used Lexie to get back at him and is disgusted by it. Abe finally loses it (after the shock wears off) and yells at Lexie as her tears begin to flow. He says that Brandon went after the one thing in this world that meant the most to him…only for revenge. She tries to comfort him, telling him how much she loves him and how sorry she is. Abe then begins to blame himself for never realizing he was Brandon’s father. He says if he knew that and perhaps loved Brandon, this would have never happened. Lexie urges him to focus on the present and future, not the past. Through the tears, Abe finally says that he wants to help Brandon and love him and be a real father to him as both are crying (great acting by both James and Renee here). The nurse brings in the baby as Abe softens and tells Lexie that no matter what has happened, they can find forgiveness through their son and have a new beginning. She tells him that she has one more thing to tell him and he may not like it.

In the lobby, Brandon arrives to see the nurse taking baby Carver back to the nursery. She shows him the baby as he says nothing and storms off to Lexie’s room. As soon as he is gone, here comes the gang off the elevator, looking for him. The nurse points them in the direction of Lexie’s room and off they go, hot on his trail. Brandon into the room with all the rest on his heels. He asks to speak privately with Lexie. But she says no…no more secrets. You can talk in front of everyone. So, he asks “Am I the father of your baby?” as everyone stands there and you can almost hear their jaws hit the floor. After a LONG silence, Lexie says NO, Abe is the father. Nicole says that SHE needs a drink and Sami seems to breath a sigh of relief. Lexie goes on to say that yes Sami did switch the test results, but they were fake…she had set her up. Sami screams “How could you?…you BITCH” and rushes over to Lexie’s bed and jumps on top of her and begins choking her…as the previews roll.

On the Next Days of Our Lives…

John asks Marlena what happened between her and Tony…

Sami telling Roman that she doesn’t want to hear how he is disappointed in her. She doesn’t have time…she must go and find Brandon.

Lexie: He’s gone Sami…Brandon has finally walked out on you (as Sami goes running from the room screaming for Brandon).

Brandon: “I’m leaving town.”…

As the credits roll…

Week of June 9, 2003

Summary: Mimi and Rex find an appropriate place to stash Rolf, Nicole goes hunting, Bo and Hope make a hard decision, and Chloe FINALLY decides what to do. Her farewell song to Brady is beautiful and touching though.

BRADY HOME
Bo’s concentrating on the lap top as Hope tells him that Zack’s spending the night at the pub. She fills him in on what Zack’s been doing with his grandparents (it would make me tired too) and while folding clothes, realizes Bo’s not listening. To prove it, she tells him Caroline wants to get Zack’s tongue pierced and he says okay, LOL. She asks what he’s looking at and when she sees, asks if he’s out of his mind. It’s a new car they can use for their business (an SUV I heard) but they need to make a sacrifice. Hope gets sticker shock and asks if they can afford it (nice to see them actually talking $$ after all the trips to Europe, house, clothes, etc.) Bo refuses to touch her trust fund as that’s for the boys college. He suggests they sell the Fancy Face. She’s having a hard time deciding and asks him to go with her. He says anywhere. Hope steps on the Fancy Face 2 and says she can’t do it, they’ll have to find another way. Bo knows they have to and they head down to the galley to go through things. Hope figures lots of the stuff they haven’t used in three years, they might as well get rid of it. Bo tempts her into their room and they fall on the bed kissing.

LARRY’S VISITOR
As Larry finishes sampling the goods (er, Nicole) and obviously approves. (how did she escape Niko to visit the prison?) He needs to be out to off her hubby though. She’ll find a way. He wants to know what will happen to him after the deed is done. She suggests flying him wherever he wants. Worried that Bo will find out he’s out, he starts back pedaling. Nicole has an idea how to hide the fact he’s out there. She suggests they kill him. He asks if Victor knows she’s there as he’ll put a contract on him if so. She assures him Victor’s bodyguards won’t come near the place. He asks where she’ll get a body. She thinks of Sami and asks if they’ll notice the body is female (LOL). She’s told it’s time to leave and he asks his wife for a kiss goodbye. (fun scenes with these two)

MIMI, REX, and BERNIE (oops, I mean ROLF)…
Mimi suggest they call Tony about Rolf, but he refuses. Rolf sits up (how long before they get stiff?) as Mimi goes on about what they should do. Rex tells Mimi about who Rolf really was and how he had created them, making Marlena their surrogate mother. Rex complains about Rolf’s smell and Mimi goes ewwww when she gets a whiff. Mimi refers to Crossing Jordan and knows a good place to find a body sized refrigerator where a corpse wouldn’t be a surprise. Rex wheels Rolf into the morgue in a wheelchair (Rex explains he and Cassie stayed just down the hall, so he knew where it was) and plops him on an empty table. They cover him with a sheet as Rex puts JOHN DOE on a piece of paper to identify him. Hearing a noise, they rush out. Nicole comes in, donned in hospital hat and gown, looking for a body (now, isn’t that convenient?) Rex and Mimi scurry to his car and Mimi assures him stuff like this happens all the time there, hahaha!! They’ll probably blame it on some new orderly. Then she says they’d blame it on Sami, but she’s in a coma (ROFLMAO!!)

BLUE NOTE
Chloe arrives to hear Brady and the manager talking. Brady tells him the music they have at the Blue Note is not something Chloe’s interested in. If she wants to stay in Salem that’s her business, but there’s no future for her there. (I agree with Laney..what’s with this long drawn out poor Chloe farewell, yet Craig and Nancy disappear without even a hug goodbye. It’s bad enough there gone, but hate how they did it too!) Philip arrives to see Brady. Brady had summoned him to talk about Chloe’s future. Knowing they had both made mistakes with Chloe, Brady asks Philip if there’s anything he can do to make Chloe let go and to do what she’s dreamed of over the years. Philip agrees to help Brady help Chloe.

The new female singer Brady hired to sing there arrives, meets Philip and finds Chloe sitting alone in the lounge. She congratulates her on her wonderful offer with Cecilia Marin. The two have a heart to heart about dreams and singing. She counsels Chloe and helps her realize she should follow her dream. If Brady loves her, he’ll be here when she returns. Chloe appreciates talking to someone who’s shared the same experience. The new singer tells Brady and Philip she got her music and talked with Chloe. Brady was surprised she was there and Philip goes in and talks with her. She asks for his advice. He tells her he left his home, family, friends and she’s a lot braver then he is with more talent to get ahead with.

Later Chloe’s in a black dress with her hair combed loose. She’s on the cell and hangs up as Brady joins her. She tells him she just accepted Ms. Marin’s offer and is flying off tonight after she sings (yeah, and her parents aren’t anywhere around…yeah, right…wouldn’t happen!). She can’t say goodbye to him and both are in tears as she leans in for a kiss. They kiss tenderly, both knowing what’s really going on. She heads off to sing and Philip stops Brady from going after her as she’s introduced. She stops the intro to her song when she sees Brady walk in. She tells the audience she’s changing her program as she has something special to say to someone she loves. She sings a heartfelt song saying he was her strength, her inspiration, she’s everything she is because you loved me (sorry, don’t know the song’s title. Email me if you do). Brady (and Philip) both stand on the side and listen. Brady walks in the bar and back out again as she finishes the song. He whispers “I’ll always love you Chloe” with tears running down his face…as the shows closes and previews for tomorrow roll…

Nicole walks in the morgue asking if anyone’s there as Rolf pops up into sitting position…she says “oh my God” as she looks at his face.

Lucas is kissing Cassie and tells her he works for her father and will not corrupt his daughter…she tells him she’s a woman…

Rex and Mimi are in his bed in the mansion. Tony walks up to his door and knocks, asking if he’s there and saying it’s his father….Mimi sits up surprised (it IS Tony’s house)

As the credits roll..

Linda

Summary: Nicole and Larry come to an understanding…Shawn begins his new job, much to Belle’s dismay…Rex and Mimi’s evening goes from bad to worse…Chloe and Brady have a tearful goodbye as Bart and Rolf have a comical one. (I just have to comment on this…it really bugs me that Chloe gets this dramatic, drawn-out goodbye…and even that Rolf gets one…but NOTHING…not even a parting shot…only a phone call explaining their departure…for a popular beloved couple like the Wesleys??? Shame on you Days! What a disappointment!!)

At the Wesley House…
Chloe is still in shock over Craig’s news as Brady tries to convince her that it is a good thing. She becomes angry, refusing to let him push her away. He says if she passes on this opportunity, she will live to regret it. (Haven’t we already heard all this?) She talks about how he stood by her when she was sick and not to do her any favors now, she is determined to stay in Salem. He says if she does, then they are through. She becomes furious and runs upstairs crying. She goes to her room and slams the door. Lying on the bed, she picks up his picture and has flashbacks of them together on the dock and their trip to Colorado. She ends up throwing his picture across the room against the door. She has a hissy fit and starts throwing things all over the floor. Brady comes up and tries to get her to open the door and she yells at him to just go away. (Excuse me, but isn’t Joy supposed to be asleep? She must be a HEAVY sleeper!) He sits outside her door as she whines and moans from inside. She goes on about how he has no respect for her feelings. She also says that he is just as controlling as Philip and starts crying and yelling, saying she never wants to see him again. He tells her that she doesn’t have to…after she sings at the Blue Note tonight. She yells that she hates him but from outside the door, he softly says “I love you…I’m sorry”. She yells for him to just go away and never come back. Finally, he leaves, telling her to be at the Blue Note. She snaps that she will, but it will be the LAST thing she will ever do for him again. (So, I guess we are set up for the big goodbye on the next show…FINALLY!)

At the Pub…
Belle and Shawn are there as he is still worried about her (they are having the Salem cure-all’s, hot tea and clam chowder). She still doesn’t remember what happened to her (But now she has on new dry clothes and her hair/make-up are perfect). Philip watches from outside as Cassie sashays up, startling him. She begins to come on to him immediately (what a loosey goosey she is). (Note: he asks her about the crutch and she jokingly tells him that she was in a bar-room brawl, with guys fighting over her, LOL). He keeps his distance, telling her that he has to get back to work. She offers her “company” and he turns her down so she goes on inside the pub. TEK comes by and watching Belle, tells Philip she seems fine, but Philip is still upset over what happened. TEK has new orders for him, he is to attend a party at the Kiriakis mansion. Philip is shocked that the ISA believes his father could be involved in the smuggling operation, but TEK explains that Victor could be in danger. Philip finally agrees to go and TEK explains that he needs to take a date and is NOT to tell Victor what is going on.

Inside, Belle and Shawn are talking as Cassie wanders up being her usual smart-ass self and invites herself to join them. Belle is quite direct with her and tells her to just go away so she goes and sits at the bar and watches them. Shawn and Belle talk about his new assignment (with Mickey), something about a civil suit against an art collector. He shows her a brochure for the gallery with a picture of a beautiful woman on the back (Maya Leano, the client) which seems to disturb Belle (so much for the trust factor, Belle). Belle asks if he can get out of it but he is determined to follow it through. Caroline (who we never see) sends over chocolate cake for them as they talk about Belle’s family problems. She laments over Sami’s condition and now how it seems that Chloe and Brady are breaking up. Belle just wants her family to be happy. At the bar, Cassie begins to eye some other guy(he recognizes her from Love is Blind) and then comes on strong to him. (Future spoilers say that she is arrested for prostitution…and I can surely BELIEVE it! She comes on as strong as a hurricane). Shawn has to leave to meet with the client and promises to call Belle afterward. After he leaves, Philip comes in and talks to Belle. Cassie walks off from the other guy and makes a beeline over to Philip and Belle and begins ragging on Belle for Shawn’s leaving. (Oh, please Belle…just pop her one). Belle tells her that Shawn would never give HER the time of day. Then Cassie begins hitting on Philip again, asking him to buy her a drink. Philip pulls Belle aside and asks if she is okay. She tells him about Shawn’s job and he asks if she has plans for the eveing and if she wants to go to a party.

At the Prison…
Nicole is still there with Larry as he begins coming on to her. She says she needs a killer…not a lover. He says if she plays her cards right, she can have both. She pushes him for an answer, but he wants to think it over. She talks about how hatred makes strange bedfellows…THAT is what Larry wants to talk about as you can see he is getting turned on by her. She tells him to make her a widow and she’s his. He grabs her and pulls her close and slobbers all over her neck (wanting a sample) as she winces. She asks if they have a deal and he finally agrees…but on HIS terms. She asks if it is money he wants, but he wants his freedom and HER. She finally says that they have a deal and he roughly pulls her close and starts kissing her.

Rex and Mimi’s Wild Adventure…
Rex and Mimi are riding around (with Rolf in the back seat, now with sunglasses) as she pleads that he not die on them like common roadkill. Rex wants her to check him out to see if he is still alive, but she insists on taking him to the hospital. Rex tries to explain how it happened and wants her to check his pulse. The look on her face is priceless as she refuses to touch him. She finally takes out her mirror and holds it in front of Rolf’s mouth for about 2 seconds and then announces to Rex that he IS dead and has joined that Heavenly choir (LOL). She urges him to pull over and call the police. Rex finally stops with Mimi hysterically babbling on that she is going to have a nervous breakdown. Rex tells her not to talk anymore as he beats his head on the steering wheel. They don’t know what to do next as Mimi suggests that they call Tony, since the DiMeras are “old hat” at this sort of thing. About that time a light shines in her face as a cop walks up asking what is going on. He asks whatsup with the guy in the back seat as Mimi blurts out that he is dead. Rex adds “…dead to the world” and the cop suggests that they get him home and leaves (typical of our Salem PD, huh?) A group of kids rush up, recognizing Mimi from ‘Love is Blind’ and want to hang out with them. The kids beg them to go roller-blading with them as the one guy tries to wake up Rolf. In a panic, they agree to go skating as Mimi rushes off with the others to get the skates. Later, we seem Mimi and Rex on roller blades, with Rolf between them (also on roller blades) going through the park. The other kids have disappeared for the moment, so they sit Rolf down on a bench. They prop up and cross his legs and put a paper in his lap (an Intruder). The other kids come by and they take off with them, leaving Rolf sitting there. While they are gone, Bart comes by singing and sees him. He sits down with “Rolfie” and tells him to stay quiet and let HIM do the talking (ROFL!). He goes on and on about what good times they had together in the past, but Tony is NOT Stefano and how it just isn’t fun like it used to be. He talks about dressing up in drag and being elves at Christmas and how he will miss working with him. Finally, he tells him goodbye and as he leaves, tells him that he is looking good and to take care, he will never forget him. After Bart leaves, Mimi and Rex return and load Rolf back into the car. She wants to take him the DiMansion, but Rex says that is not an option, so they decide to drive around until they decide what to do.

At Mickey’s Office
Shawn is there all dressed up (but no Mickey in sight) meeting with Maya Leano. She crosses her legs in her (very) short skirt, saying she is all his. She tells an uncomfortable Shawn to relax…she won’t bite. Using a lot of sexual innuendo, she says she knows that Mickey is using Shawn to size her up. She tells him that if they win her case, she will make him and the firm very wealthy. Later, she says she was impressed with Shawn and that they will be spending a lot of time together. She tells him to call her Maya and that she wants him to step into her world. She invites him to come to the gallery the next day for a tour and to keep his dinner plans open. After she leaves, he finally takes a breath and plops down in the chair, tossing the pencil in the air as the previews roll…

On the Next Days of Our Lives…

Nicole (to Larry)…I have a plan so that Bo and Hope will never know that you are out there…how about we KILL you?…

Mimi (to Rex)…If his death was an accident, we should just go to the police…right?

Chloe: I’m leaving Salem tonight after I sing. We see her singing as there is a shot of Brady with tears rolling down his cheeks…

As the credits roll…

Episode #9577
Taped 5/20/03
Director – Roger Inman

Brady & Brady get their man while Rex & Mimi have their own adventure, Belle runs into trouble, & Marlena tells Tony exactly where to go…well, almost.

AT THE WESLEY HOME Chloe is opening a large brown envelope containing opera brochures with her picture on them!!! Brady arrives, tries to apologize and sees the brochures featuring “a new star from the U.S.A., Miss Chloe Lane”. (Bet all you struggling, hard working singers wish it was this easy to become a STAR, right?) Chloe protests she doesn’t want to go, everything she loves is in Salem, and she now has all she wants. Somehow the scene returns to a naked Brady & Chloe on the sofa in the afterglow, with the baby monitor going off. Chloe goes to check on Joy, while Brady has a fantasy of married life down the road. A suited Brady comes home to the Donna Reed like wifey, Chloe, telling her all about his latest coup. His P.R. company, Sensations, has taken Cecelia Marin on as a client, which includes singer Monica Burton, the one who replaced Chloe when she refused to go on tour. He wants her to listen to Monica’s latest CD, and Chloe looks forlorn, as Brady mentions her still regretting not taking advantage of a career when she had the chance. End of fantasy as Chloe comes down, having gotten dressed. They argue again about her singing career, staying in Salem, etc. and the phone rings. It’s Nancy, with the news she just received from Craig. Brady takes the phone from her, as she cannot believe what she is hearing. Seems Craig has accepted the position of heading up the Manhattan Medical Center, and they are moving to NY. (Sorry, but I think this turn of events really stinks. Thought perhaps the Wesleys would at least still be in town, and now we obviously have had no “farewell” scenes with them) He asks Chloe what she will do now…..when her family will be leaving Salem.

AT DIMANSION Tony tells Marlena that the hospital told him that Sami is going to pull thru, and is happy to hear it. Marlena angrily spits out that Sami’s injuries could result in brain damage, damage to her spine, her vocal chords, and perhaps permanent paralysis. She holds him responsible, will never forgive him. He tells her she can leave, but she asks if he doesn’t still want to possess her, his intention. He claims he knows she is not interested in him, and she talks of how she defended him when he first returned to town, but no more. She tells him he should leave town, get DiMeras out of her family’s lives once and for all. They go back & forth, and talk of sharing children (Both are gonna be pretty surprised, soon!). Tony asks her to come up to Rex’s room, to see something interesting. Marlena goes on about not intruding on her children’s privacy, but enters the room. Tony shows her a drawing of a piece of machinery (that laser thing for the coal into diamonds). They have no idea what it is, but Tony feels if it was something for the good of the environment, for instance, Rex would have told his proud parents (??) about it. Marlena tells him off, leaves the room, slamming the door. Tony shudders, wondering WHAT he ever saw in that woman! LOL (thank goodness that potential triangle is out the window now – yayyyy)

DOWN ON THE DOCKS Belle & Shawn arrive, talking about Sami. Belle says her whole family feels guilty about being so hard on Sami (perhaps they should have been so hard on her long ago) & now they are all so worried. (but NONE are at the hospital, huh?). Mimi comes up, looking for Rex, but they have not seen him. She babbles on about him, sounding like a gal in love, so says Shawn. Belle doesn’t want her hurt, and both agree Rex needs someone to keep him grounded in the real world. Mimi leaves to search further.
The scene returns to Shawn, shirt off, tank top, throwing balls out across the water again. (Jeez, doesn’t that get to be expensive?). Belle comments on season being over, glad he won their game, and talks about being worried about Philip. She explains about being at the base, the other soldiers seemingly deferring to Philip, as if he was someone important, when he is just a private like everyone else. Shawn gets a call from Uncle Mickey, with another job for him, and he takes off. Belle stays behind, on a bench, with her book, sunblocker (LOL) and says she will just read. She hears a noise, hides behind the bench, as Philip & TEK arrive, talking about another shipment arriving. They hear a noise, TEK whips out a gun, as Belle stands up, and TEK shoots her close range. She falls into the river.
Later we see a shirtless Philip, in the river, getting her out with Tek’s help. (Can we tell it is summer with all the shirts off now, lol). He remonstrates with TEK, who claims it was only a tranquilizer dart gun, and she will come to in a bit. He mentions her being John Black’s daughter, and he leaves, as Philip cradles Belle, saying he will take care of her.
Later, Shawn returns, to find a soggy, groggy Belle on the bench, just waking up. She cannot remember what happened, or who must’ve aided her from the river, as she obviously fell in or something. Shawn takes her home. As they depart, we see a crouched Philip, fully attired in his scuba gear, stand up, and lower himself into the water.

Meanwhile, in the warehouse, Rex is beside himself, with Rolf lying dead. He is perplexed, but then hoists him over his shoulder, taking him out to his convertible, dumping him in the back seat. Of course, Mimi comes up just then, wanting to know what he is doing. Our wonderful, babbling Mimi, goes on about Professor Putnam, where is his hair, (Rex says it was a wig), and tries to convince Rex he did not kill Rolf, it was an accident, and he should go to his father, Roman. Rex is horrified, saying he could never explain this, it would be his word against a dead man. He tells her he has to bury the body somewhere. Now Mimi is horrified, & tries to talk him out of it. (Loving these scenes) Suddenly we all hear a groan. Aha! Rolf is NOT dead. (too bad, thought it about time he paid for all his dastardly deeds, especially for Marlo!)

AT THE BRADY PUB Bo runs into Philip, and they play catch up with the happenings of their lives, talking of Vin Ramsell & bounty hunting. . Philip explains his lack of uniform as not being required to wear it off base. (Hmmm, thought he was working in the recruiting office in town?) Hope arrives, reporting that no sign of Weeks on the docks, and Philip abruptly leaves. Hope wants a burger but Bo hustles her out of there, as outside, TEK pulls Philip out of sight. (What for?)
The duo arrive at Echelon, running into Tommy, a street kid who has straightened up and is flying right, and now doing valet parking for Echelon. He admires Bo’s hot looking babe, and is full of chagrin to be introduced to Bo’s wife. LOL. They tell him about Weeks, describing him as smoking a pipe, liking redheads and having a tattoo. Tommy promises to let them know if he sees the guy, and leaves to park a a car. Bo takes Hope somewhere and when they return, they are in different clothes, Bo has his hair slicked back. Bo goes in, pretending to be a professor from the college, dealing with underage gals all day, so Echelon is his lifesaver, as he asks to borrow tobacco for his pipe from a group of men sitting playing cards. Three guys offer theirs, as Hope comes up in a short haired red wig, coming on to the men, talking of seeing their muscles. They take off their jackets to show off, and one has the required tattoo. Bo & Hope take the guy down, with Hope delivering the final bottle blow to the head. Outside, Tommy stops them, asking to take a picture of “Brady & Brady"”. Freeze frame as the previews show……..

Brady to Chloe…..Go to Europe, stay in Salem. Either way, we are finished.

Cassie to Belle…..You don’t know the kind of hunk you have, as Belle comes back with, yes I do. The kind who wouldn’t give you the time of day

Nicole to Larry…..I’m a killer, not a lover, as Larry retorts if she plays her cards right, you can have both. We then see them kissing!

Mimi to Rex……..(Both are wearing helmets & skates, with Rolf inbetween them, also with skates on, tho they seem to be supporting him, as they skate him to a bench and sit him down) Please don’t let Professort Putnam die on our watch. Don’t let him breathe his last like road kill or something. ROTFL…truly funny scene

Barb

Summary: Brady breaks it off with Chloe…Rex tries to beat the truth out of Rolf…Mimi ends up in trouble…Kate and Roman get goodnews/ bad news on Sami…A down and out Lucas finds himself in a compromising position…and Nicole makes a deal with the devil.

At the Wesley House..
Brady goes to see Chloe and receives a very chilly reception. He tells her that he is there to break up with her. He says he doesn’t want to, but they have to. She gets angry with him and tries to toss him out. They argue as he tries to reason with her and explain. He says he is doing this BECAUSE he loves her. She thinks that he has found someone else but he swears that there is no one else and that he loves only her and is doing this because of that. He says if she stays in Salem and gives up her dreams it will ruin their lives. She becomes furious, saying he is being stupid, twisted and condescending. He says this is now the second time he has tried to get her to fight for her life but she says without him, she has no life. She yells for him to leave and opens the door. Without a word, he walks out and she slams the door behind him.

At the Brady Pub…
Bart tracks Mimi to the pub, where Roman and Kate are having lunch as he worries about Sami. Mimi stops by and asks about Sami’s condition and offers her words of encouragement. Bart calls Tony and gives him an update and is told to keep an eye on her. Mimi asks about the rest of the family and Roman says he had been putting it off (waiting for some good news) but needs to call his son. Mimi asks “Rex?” A confused Roman asks what she is talking about, but she covers, saying she meant Eric, she just has Rex on the brain. Kate points out that Roman didn’t even touch his food, so he offers it to Mimi as he and Kate leave. Mimi sits down and starts munching on the fries as Bart comes over and strikes up a conversation. He sits and they talk (LOL at these 2…he calls her Mimimi…until she straightens him out, telling him it’s only 2 mi’s…talk about 2 of a kind!) He tries to pump her for information, trying to find out what she was talking to Roman about (He thinks she was telling about the diamonds). Mimi talks about her mouth always gets her in trouble. She describes it as being “as fast as a high-speed internet connection”. He tries to find out what she said, but she said she has said too much already. Bart steps away and makes a call, telling the other person they were right…and Rex’s big mouth girlfriend is history. Outside, some goon arrives as Bart points her out to him. He says that she is special (reminds him of himself) so make it quick and painless. Mimi comes out as Bart bids her farewell, saying he liked her…to bad she blabbed to Roman about the family jewels. A confused Mimi asks what he is talking about, saying she was talking about Rex…and that he does happen to be a gem. Bart realizes his mistake as a confused Mimi leaves and Bart tells “two Mi’s” to take care of herself. He tells the goon that the hit is off, it was a huge misunderstanding.

At the Hospital…
Sami is still unconscious as Lucas watches over her. He asks the nurse about her condition and is told it is critical. Cassie shows up on a crutch (Alexis Thorpe had an accident in real life) and explains her injury from roller-blading (I think that is what she said) saying that Rex has always said she is hell on wheels. Cassie talks about Sami’s condition and Lucas says if anything happens to Sami, Will will be devastated and HE will be to blame. She asks him about it as he talks about the history of how he and Sami have hurt each other and says that this time he went too far. He talks about how he was there pushing her further and further until she cracked and went over the deep end. Cassie tries to tell him that Sami probably deserved it, but Lucas just keeps beating himself up and wants to stay by her side until she wakes up. Apparently Cassie talked him into leaving because later they are at his place and he offers her a drink and fixes one for himself as well (vodka). As they relax on the sofa, he talks about when Sami was on death row and says if she dies, he won’t be able to live with himself. They keep on talking and drinking and she offers a massage. Lucas is wary because of Tony’s warning, but Cassie keeps on (saying she likes a man who lives dangerously) until he gives in. Before long, she has his shirt off and her hands all over him. Lucas says “to hell with Tony” as they fall back on the sofa kissing.

Kate and Roman return to the hospital awaiting the latest test results. Roman is a wreck waiting and feels helpless. She talks about how she felt when Lucas was in the coma and how she never gave up. She tells Roman not to give up on a miracle and that she will pray for one for him. Roman talks to Sami, telling her that he loves her and not to give up as the doctor comes in. He tells them that he has news, there has been a change for the better. But there is a possibility for long term complications…possible brain damage, vocal chord damage and paralysis.

Nicole hatches a Plan…
Nicole goes to visit someone in prision…Larry Welch. She got in by claiming to be his wife (yeah, right…I’m SURE they would check something like that out). Larry asks who the hell she is as she explains that she needed a private meeting with him. She says she decided to talk to him because he detests Victor as much as she does. She says she knows that Victor sent him away twice for something he didn’t do. She says she KNOWS he didn’t kill Colin Murphy, but doesn’t tell him HOW she knows that. She says she also knows he wants revenge against Victor. Larry talks about being in prison, saying he is living “la vida loca” and asks her to enlighten him. He says that they only thing that they have in common is that both of them hate Victor and asks her what she wants, to team up to bring Victor down? Larry is confused, asking what can he do from behind bars as she explains that she has a plan to bust him out, but would require his help in return. She does her best Sharon Stone impression (crossing her legs) which gets his attention and he says yes, he is interested. He asks what is the plan. She says it’s simple…she will help him get out. All he will need to do in return is kill her husband.

Down at the Docks…
Rex yells for Rolf (who comes out with a gun) and they struggle. Rex takes him down demanding answers. He says he will beat the truth out of him if necessary. He wants to know who his mother is. Rolf tries to avoid the question but Rex persists and begins choking him. Rolf persuades him to let him go and tells him that Marlena gave birth to him but Rex punches him. He then throws water on him and tells him that he doesn’t want to hear his lies anymore. Rolf tries to get out of answering his questions, but Rex tells him that he tested his DNA and already knows that Roman is their father and demands to know who their mother is. Rolf is impressed that he broke the genetic code, saying that no one was supposed to ever know. He finally confirms that Marlena gave birth to them but she was only a surrogate, someone else was the donor. Rex demands to know who but Rolf will not say. Rex punches him again and Rolf finally cracks, saying he will tell him. But before he can say a name, a huge stack of crates tumbles down and crushes him beneath. Rex checks him (apparently he is dead) as he looks disgusted…and the previews roll.

On the Next Days of Our Lives…

Marlena tells Tony that Sami is condemned to a life of pain and suffering and that she will NEVER forgive him…

Belle is snooping around the docks, when a guy jumps out and shoots her and she falls in the river…

Bo is fighting with a guy in a bar as Hope (in a red wig) cracks the guy over the head with a liquor bottle and smiles at Bo…

And the credits roll…

Episode #9775
Tape date – various
Director – Roger Inman

Summary: Jack and Jenn are back as they welcome a special guest star to “In the House”…the Bradys and Carvers celebrate Zack’s birthday…Bo and Hope begin their new career…Rex seeks answers as Mimi’s loose lips put her in danger.

Jack and Jenn are “In the House” with Phil Vassar…
The show starts with an exterior shot of the Deveraux house (don’t think we have seen that one before) and the “In the House” them plays. Jack and Jenn are dressed in Hawaiian shirts complete with leis and banter and talk about their honeymoon, promising to show pictures later (which, BTW, we NEVER get to see). They talk about their special guest star country music’s Phil Vassar. They introduce him (saying he is direct from Fan Fair) and tell how he was name the ACM’s Top New Male Artist this year. Phil joins them as they talk about his career and awards he has won. Jenn gushes about his hit “American Child” being her one of her favorite songs (Jack confirms it that she knows all the words). They talk about his humble beginnings as a bartender and cook in a Nashville bar and about his family. He tells them about his daughter Hayley being in his videos and how his wife helps him write songs (he calls her a ‘babe’). He goes to the piano and performs “American Child” (quite beautifully, I might add) and as he sings, we get to see a few clips from his video and Jenn mouths along (Hey, she really DOES know the words, LOL). After the song, Jenn begs him to sing another, her favorite “This is God” as they plug his album and book. He performs it as Jack and Jenn listen (with a few clips from his video thrown in). (Thumbs up Phil…great job!) After he finishes, they thank him for coming and they sign off. Later, after the show, Jack and Jenn talk about coming back from their honeymoon. Jack tells her that it didn’t matter where they were, all he would have seen would be her and they kiss.

Brady & Brady are Open for Business…
At the Brady house, Hope and Zack are piled up on the sofa watching a Mr. Magoo cartoon and laughing (as we see a huge Happy Birthday Zack banner behind them). She tells him that she grew up watching that as he chatters away (so cute). Bo walks in with the paper, showing how they made the headlines by catching Ramsel. She tells him that she has been thinking about his idea and worries if they can really do it. He tries to convince her, telling her that Abe will help them out. Abe and Lexie arrive with little Theo and a nanny (Clara Smith) in tow. Hope just HAS to hold him as Lexie passes him over. She shows him to Zack, who seems more interested in a piece of paper he has. Later, we see Zack riding an electric 4-wheeler (his birthday gift) as everyone cheers him on. They talk about how he has grown as Hope says a lot of credit goes to them. They talk about how they called JT this morning first thing and he had already opened the gifts they sent him. Abe and Lexie have a present for them. They open it to find Zack’s bronzed baby booties. Abe explains that they changed the name to read “Beauregard Isaac Theo Brady. Bo and Hope are both touched by the gesture as it almost brings them to tears. Later, Zack rides in from the kitchen as Hope shows the booties to him, explaining they used to be his (oh, that is so cute). Later, they bring out the cake as Zack blows out the 3 candles and all cheer. Lexie asks if HOPE baked the cake (LOL at everyone’s reactions) as she stammers around and finally admits it was a mix. Bo chimes in, saying it was baked with a LOT of love. Abe and Bo have an aside conversation and talk briefly about Sami (explains that Shawn is with Belle because she is so upset). Abe talks about Roman being so distraught and tells Bo that they miss him down at the station. He asks about his plans as Bo explains their idea. Later as they clean up the mess, Abe is trying to talk them out of it (Lexie and Clara took the kids upstairs). He explains that it is too dangerous, but quickly sees that they are determined. Lexie comes back down asking what they are talking about and they explain to her as she is worried as well. Finally Abe promises to help them out and calls the station to have the records of a criminal (Ray Meeks) brought over. Lexie promises to help them out on the homefront in anyway she can. Later an officer brings over the files and offers the case to them, if they are interested. They accept and are anxious to get started. Abe and Lexie offer to stay with Zack until Caroline comes for him, so with hugs all around Brady & Brady are in business!

Over at DiMansion…
A repair guy arrives to measure for a new door (Bart shows him…good to see him again) as a morose Tony has a flashback of Sami crashing through. Mimi comes by as Rex meets her at the front door. She immediately starts asking him about when he is gong to tell Tony what he has learned. But Rex doesn’t want to tell him, he likes being a DiMera. Tony gives Bart instructions to get hourly updates on Sami’s condition as he spots Rex and Mimi and calls them into the den. Mimi sees the broken door and begins babbling about the ‘crime scene’. Tony quickly corrects her, saying it was an accident and Mimi urges Rex to tell Tony what he learned. Rex won’t talk so Tony begins pumping Mimi for info. She tries to cover and talks about Tony’s clothes (LOL). But Tony can tell that something is bothering Rex and asks if he is okay. Mimi blurts out that they found out that Sami is his sister OOPS…(she covers and says half-sister). (Geez, she’s not letting the cat out of the bag…she is YANKING it out!) Finally, Rex tries to cover it all up, saying that they both offered to give blood and he learned that he and Sami have the same blood type and he is on the donor list. Rex and Mimi head upstairs as they hear Bart on the phone with “Rolfsky”. Mimi has no idea who that is, but Rex sure does and sends Mimi on ahead of him as he eavesdrops and learns out where Rolf is staying (The Riverfront Motel, I think). Tony bellows for Bart, so he cuts it short and heads to the den. Rex goes upstairs to find Mimi on the bed flipping through a magazine. He calls her beautiful which stuns her. He chuckles and asks if she would rather he call her “bigmouth” to which she apologizes for the scene downstairs. Of course he forgives her and they kiss, with him telling her that his life is perfect right now and he just doesn’t want it to change. He tells her that he needs to run downtown and asks her to wait until he gets back. Downstairs, Tony questions Bart about Rex’s odd behavior. Bart says that Stefano NEVER cared about his children and is impressed with Tony’s concern. Tony picks up a photo of Rex and Cassie, saying that they mean EVERYTHING to him. Later, Mimi is flipping through a book and becomes impatient and leaves Rex a note and leaves. In the den, Tony tells Bart he wants to see the “goods” as Bart pours out a pouch of diamonds. Tony tells him that NO ONE is to know. But Bart sees Mimi leaving and tells Tony, afraid she might have overheard them. Tony becomes upset and orders Bart to bring her back so Bart follows Meems as she leaves. To himself, he mutters how she is in trouble. Tony goes upstairs and meddles in Rex’s stuff as we see Rex snooping around the docks. He goes into a building and yells for Rolf. He yells that he needs his help and has questions about his past and that HE has the answers. He sits down, saying he is NOT leaving until he gets them. Meanwhile, Tony sees Mimi’s note and chuckles, until he turns it over and sees (what I assume to be) the DNA results. With a shocked look on his face, he says “Oh my God Rex…it can’t be!”…as it fades to black and goes to the previews…

On the Next Days of Our Lives…

Chloe is screaming at Brady: “You heard me Brady…now GET OUT!” as a sad-faced Brady leaves…

We see a shot of Sami in the hospital bed as we hear Lucas say “If anything happens to Sami, I’d be the one to blame” (Cassie can be seen in the background on crutches)…

Rolf (to Rex): “Allright…you want me to talk…your mother is…”

Nicole saying “Well, well, well…look at you”…

And the credits roll…
