Mind If I Get Dressed First?

Note: The DOOL feed was incomplete this morning. This is what fed until the transmission stopped:

Jan and Mimi fight. Jan falls and hits her head. Mimi freaks. She checks out Jan. Cold and dead, “OMG! OMG! OMG! Jan, please wake up.”

Stami thinks this is perfect. He calls the cops to report a murder.

Kate doesn’t give a damn what Shawn does. Belle won’t let him put his life in danger. Kate sucker punches Belle. John wants to know what Kate is doing. She can pack her bags and get out. Belle says it’s her fault.

Rex tells Shawn he’ll wind up dead if he goes over there to rescue Phillip. He won’t help him get himself killed.

Billie and Patrick go at it as Bo and Hope come in. Hope says she hates coming home to an empty house. They decide to be quiet so they don’t wake Billie. Hearing the racket, Hope decides Billie might just be awake. Bo runs upstairs and barges in just as the bed collapses. Hope invites Patrick to spend the night. Bo isn’t happy. Lockhart is the last person Billie should be with.

“Get outta here Lockhart, snarls Bo.

“Mind if I get dressed first?”

Hope defends them, “They aren’t teen-agers.” Hope is just happy there is someone in bed with Billie besides Bo.

Patrick tells Billie this was a mistake.

“Damn right,” says Bo, “a big one.” He thinks Patrick is dangerous and working for the DiMeras.

Billie tells Bo she knows what she is doing, “I trust Patrick.”

“You’re in bed with the enemy,” says Bo, “How did you do this Lockhart? Get her drunk again?”

Mimi frets over Jan’s body. She hears the sirens in the background. She scoots into the bushes as the cops arrive. The cops yell, “FREEZE” as they point their guns into the bushes. Don’t want those bushes moving.

John wants to know what in the hell Kate is doing hitting Belle. Belle defends Kate. She says she should have been more sensitive. Belle apologizes to Kate. “No,” says Kate, “I’m the one who should apologize. You’re Phillip’s wife. We should not be having words.”

John wants to know what they were arguing about.

“Shawn,” confesses Belle.

“Ah, what’s the hothead up to now,” asks John.

Belle tells him Shawn wants to go rescue Phillip and they argued about him risking his life.

John asks, “Dammit. Belle, when are you gonna admit how wrong Shawn Brady is for you?”

Shawn asks Rex to stop being a nerd and help him. Rex thinks Shawn would just get in the way if he went to rescue Phillip. Rex decides to put a lock on his computer programs so Shawn can’t get to them.

Stami comes out of the bushes with his hands up. He tells the cops he saw two women fighting, but can’t identify them. The crack cops can’t find Mimi in the bushes, but one of them finds an acrylic nail. Stami is relieved. This gets him off the hook. Mimi contemplates her missing nail, “What will I do if they arrest me? If only I could get out of here... but if I move they will catch me.”

Another cop brings a witness. He saw something. He’ll give a statement, “but I’m getting old and my eyesight isn’t too good.”

They get Jan breathing again. A cop tells Stami not to go anywhere. They will need his statement. The cops go into the bar to check out women missing fake fingernails.

And the rest of the story...

After the cops leave to search the restaurant for missing fake fingernails, Stami went over to Mimi to tell her he saw everything. S/he accused Meems of murdering Jan. Mimi swore it was an accident. She said she'd go in and tell the cops she didn't do it. Stami suggested she go ahead and and then listed all the reasons they'd throw her in jail in a second. Stami pointed out that it was all Meem's fault. If Mimi had told Belle way last summer about Jan holding Shawn hostage, Belle would have never married Phillip and he would have never volunteered for the dangerous mission just to get back to her. "And you say you're not a killer?" Mimi pouted that she WASN'T. Stami, "You've told so many lies you can't keep them straight anymore." S/he pointed out that if Mimi went to the cops they would see she was missing a fingernail and arrest her on the spot. If Jan dies, Meems is facing murder one - death row.

Squints ragged on about Shawn to Belle. "He doesn't use his head. Going over there by himself is completely brainless. What's he think he's going to do? Drive his motorcycle into their bunker?" Belle swore Shawn said he wouldn't. John, "And what's his word worth nowadays? " John & Kate kept pointing out that Shawn breaks his word every other day. Belle KNOWS Shawn won't go back on his word to her. Can we all say, "Delusional?" John would like to think that Shawn will keep his word, but in his experience Bo Brady's kid takes after him - in all the worst ways. (Therefore the shorthand name for Shawn, "Jr".) "He's stubborn, hot-headed, and because of all that there's no telling what he will do." Kate's afraid. John's skeptical. Belle's certain. We go round and round. John has another plan to save Phil. He'll go over there himself if he has to. Despite the agonizing pain, he has a strong will (and a magic bag-o-pills). He'll save the day. Hugs and kisses all round. Belle leaves. John goes for the handy hypo in his pocket. "Don't do that," barks Kate. Like we really believe she sees the hypo.

Jr's rationale is that the enemy expects professionals, so as an amateur he can get in, get under the radar and save UB. Rex says, "You're dumb if you think you're going to a foreign country, not speaking the language, and think you're going to get away with it." That's why Jr. needs Rex's help. Shawn claimed he wasn't doing it for himself, he was doing it for Belle and Phillip. Rex says, "So Belle can break his heart as soon as he comes home? Nice." Jr. claimed Rex was twisting the situation. "I don't think so!", then Rex hit the nail on the head, "You're just feeling guilty because you want UB's wife so you want to go save him and make yourself look like a hero." Jr, Mai Non!

Billie defended Patrick. He hadn't spiked her drink. She was just relaxed and loosened up for a change, it was fabulous. Bo just kept it coming. Billie says, "I don't need you looking after me. I asked Patrick to come back with me cause I wanted him to." She pointed out the lipstick on Bo's collar and said that it looked like he and Hope had been having a little fun of their own. Why couldn't she? "That's none of your business.", Snarly snarled. Hope jumped in, "That's Billie’s point exactly, take your own advice and mind your own business."

Hope stormed out. Bo went after her and they had it out some more in their bedroom. Hope was mortified at the way Bo acted. They got into the usual argument about Patrick. "What are you trying to do?" Bo sneered. "Trying to figure out why you are so darned upset", shot back Hope. Then back to Billie and the fact that Bo's overreaction proved he wasn't over her. Back to arguing about Patrick, then about Billie. Hope said she thought Billie had the right to be with someone available, "which you're not in case you've forgotten." Bo carps that he hasn't forgotten. How could he with Hope threatening to leave him all the time. Bo said Hope wouldn't be happy until he didn't have anything to do with Billie. Hope said, "It's the WAY you deal with her. You disappear with her without a call to me? You let yourself be run by the DiMera's plot? Billie's not the problem - it's you. What I witnessed tonight made it oh so clear to me. She could have been with any man in any bed and you would have been just as upset. We need to deal with that." Snarly sneered and shook his head in the infuriating way that just makes you want to take a 2x4 upside his head.

When they were alone, Patrick grilled Billie why she REALLY wanted him to come back with her. While Billie was ranting on about how tacky it was that Bo burst in on her like he was her father and she was some teenager with a guy in her room. Patrick helpfully pointed out it was more like Bo had walked in on his wife with another guy. Billie mulled this over a bit and it occurred to her that Bo did it because he didn't want her to be happy with anyone else. Patrick asked the big question - did you bring me back to make Bo jealous?

Stami continued to goad Mimi about going to the BIG HOUSE. Once she's convicted she'll spend all THE DAYS OF HER short, pitiful LIFE on DEATH ROW. Where she'll be all alone. Not even her mother can come in to console her. Drawing on her own experience, Stami explains every step of the execution process. "How do you know so much about that anyway? The only person I ever knew who went through that was Sami Brady and she got rescued at the last minute?", asked the ever astute Meems. Stami gulped and we have flashbacks of Sami going through the execution ordeal. "Who are you?", Mimi insisted. Stami told her she should be more worried about what will happen when Jan wakes up in the ambulance. It will be the end for Meems. If Jan doesn't wake up, the charges will just go higher. Mimi eventually runs off. Stami scratches another enemy off her hit list and decides the next person to squirm is ------ Kate.

Yeah, Kate doesn't want John to feel bad, but she has something to tell him...Kate is yammering and Squints' hand keeps trying to creep toward his pocket where the hypo is. Kate goes on and on about how she feels guilty about almost telling him to go ahead and take the pills, just to save UB. John just wants to get to his next fix.

Rex tried to point out to Jr that just having intelligence isn't going to do anyone any good unless they have the money and the personnel to act on it. Nope, Shawn can do it by himself. Jr pulled the, "he's your brother, you owe him" card. Shawn has finally convinced Rex to help him. Rex will only help if they work together and if Shawn doesn't go off on his own if Rex thinks it's too dangerous. Rambo can't promise anything until they get the intel they need. Rex heads back to the computer.

Billie assures Patrick she only wanted to be with him, but then she flashes back to when Patrick morphed into Bo at Alice’s. Patrick isn't sorry he came with her, but he isn't buying her denials completely.

Hope said that if Bo will hire someone else to help look for Georgia she'll believe he's over Billie. Of course, he won't. Hope throws him a pillow and tosses him out of the bedroom. Billie sees Bo slinking along the corridor as Patrick is leaving. She closes the door and semi-smiles. FF on Snarly snarling.
