The Streak

Stephanie and Chelsea sit in the Jacuzzi. As the water becomes increasingly acrid, they discuss Max' animosity toward Jeremy and the way he does business. Stephanie talks about how sweet and attentive Jeremy is, and shows Chelsea he bought her another present. Chelsea wonders what Jeremy must be feeling guilty about now, "Some guys are like that when they have done something wrong... they get all sweet and attentive."

Stephanie asks, "You mean like Nick got after he slept with your mom?" The water in the Jacuzzi freezes over as the cold stares lower the room temperature.

Sleazo tells Jeremy there is no way he can pull back on the deal. Jeremy says people are asking questions and he can't dodge them. Nick walks into the passenger area and Sleazo pulls a gun on him.

Roman is at Sami's apartment working on the bomb aftermath. He wants to move them to a new safe house. Sami and Lucas want to stay there.

Andre lies in traction in his hospital bed. EJ walks in and chuckles, "Don't get up." He taunts him about being Andre instead of Tony, "The moment you found out my father was considering a truce, you went behind his back. When he finds out he will not be pleased."

Andre whispers something. EJ can't hear, "What did you say?"

Stefano booms, "He said look behind you. He's paralyzed permanently and Bo Brady is responsible. We have to have a long talk, my son."

Maggie and Hope search for Nick out on the beach. Bo rushes up to them, "I just called Nick's bank. He used his credit card to purchase a ticket to Vegas. He should be landing pretty soon. While I was on the phone with his bank, I cleaned out both his checking and savings accounts and posted his account numbers on the Internet just to teach him a lesson. It's really convenient that the privacy laws in Salem are so much more relaxed than other places."

"Chelsea," gasps Maggie, "He went to find Chelsea!"

Jeremy tells Sleazo Rawlings Nick is his cousin.

Rawlings says, "Sorry if I made you soak your shorts. He leaves. Nick asks if that was a real gun. Jeremy says Rawlings is with airport security. Nick announces he has a date on the beach. Jeremy says they are in Nevada. Nick asks to lie down for a second. Too late – he faints, falls and lands in a seat.

Roman tells Sami and Lucas they are making no sense. They can't stay in their apartment. An officer walks in and gives Roman a piece of evidence they found. It's a little case. Roman opens it and finds a note in side. He reads the note, "May the two of you live happily ever after in heaven. Love EJ."

Rolf wheels Stefano out as EJ follows. EJ protests, "That is Andre in there."

Stefano says he knows it's Andre, "This is the one son that did not disappoint me. This man was the one son I could count on."

Meanwhile, inside the room, the paralyzed Andre unhooks his bandages and gets inside EJ's briefcase.

Stefano tells EJ he has disappointed him. He must reap what he sows. He calls on Rolf to wheel him back in. EJ follows. He rants at Stefano and says he has done exactly what he wanted.

Stefano rejects him and tells him to get out. EJ takes his briefcase and leaves. Stefano asks if Andre left a little surprise with Elvis.

"It's all set to go off," says Andre.

"Very well," sighs Stefano, "It is done."

Maggie frets. Bo tells her to take it easy. Maggie wonders if they can't put out an APB in Vegas. Bo says they can't since a person has to be missing 24 hours before they can do that. Bo thinks if Nick is hurt bad he will surely try to get help. Hope comforts Maggie.

Jeremy throws water on Nick's face. Nick wakes up. He's disoriented and Jeremy tells him he passed out. Jerkemy's phone rings. Nick contemplates his glass of water.

Jeremy answers. Bo asks about Nick. Maggie yanks the phone from Bo, gives Jeremy a recap of the latest gossip from Salem and asks how Nick is doing. Jeremy tells them to check back in a couple hours and he will give an update. Jeremy hangs up, "So, Geekenstein, you have everyone in Salem looking for you." Nick asks about Chelsea. Jeremy says he knows where Chelsea is but she might not be too happy when she sees him, "You know that thing about 'what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas?' That doesn't say anything about a boyfriend showing up."

Roman says, "Now you two are headed someplace safe."

Sami says, Let Stefano send all the DiMeras. Bring 'em on."

EJ steps in, "Amazing. I didn't think I could admire you any more."

Stephanie and Chelsea continue to argue. Chelsea suggests an STD test. If she comes back negative Chelsea will apologize. Stephanie huffs and walks out as Jett comes in.

Chelsea tells Jett Jeremy is cheating on Stephanie. Jett wants to talk, "We almost kissed. I could have wound up with a case of the cooties that would make Stephanie's STD look like diaper rash."

We're back at the pub. Anna walks in and finds Bo and Hope. She tells them about finding Tony on the island and bringing him back home. "He's fine," she assures them, "In fact, he's better than fine. He's amazing. Which is why I need to find Roman. If you see him would you ask him to call my cell?" She bounces out.

Hope tells Bo she thinks Roman is about to get his heart broken.

EJ asks if everyone is OK. They all determine everyone is fine, except for Nick. EJ apologizes if his family is behind this.

"Did you say 'IF,'" snorts MachoLucas.

"You're right," says EJ, "Obviously they are." EJ says he was at an SEC meeting all evening. He swears he had nothing to do with the bomb. Lucas gestures, postures and struts, "Oh, yeah, you would commit rape, but not leave a bomb!" EJ reminds Lucas they agreed to put their hostilities aside.

Stefano rants at the doctor, "We already know he is paralyzed! Either find a cause and start a treatment or I will knock this hospital down to its knees!"

"We think we're close to finding the cause," says the doctor, "We believe hitting the pavement after a nine story fall may have at least slightly contributed to his paralysis." He turns and leaves.

Tony walks in. Stefano gasps, "Tony!"

Tony sneers, "Yes, Stefano. It's so good to be back."

Bo says after all these years Hope doesn't know Roman. Bo thinks Roman will be relieved to be rid of Anna and back in the bachelor business again. Hope thinks Bo will be doing more diapers and slathering on more butt paste if he wants to make that bet. Hope suggests doubling the bet.

"What do you want me to do if I lose," asks Bo, "You want me to breast feed?"

"I want you to streak."

Bo's eyes grow wide, "You mean..."

"As the day you were born," says Hope.

"That's not gonna happen," says Bo.

"What happened to my Bo Brady," asks Hope, "My 'anything goes' Irish rebel who wouldn't think twice about risking it all on a dare?"

Bo agrees, "OK, if you win, I'll streak."

"God, you're easy," says Hope.

He moves in on her, "You've never complained about that before."

Sami tries to get he-man Lucas to back off. EJ and Lucas bicker. Sami yanks Lucas nose ring and things calm down. EJ says he will do anything he can to help. Roman wants to know if that includes turning in Stefano. Sami tells EJ if he's going to do that, it means he's in danger, too. EJ says he will do whatever it takes to protect Sami.

Sami doesn't want to go back to a safe house. Roman says they can move in with him.

Stefano tells Tony he's looking well. Tony walks over to Andre's bedside, "You look as if you went a little over the top. HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Tony accuses Stefano of having no compassion. He says the tide is turning. The people he has attacked are coming together and gaining strength. Tony will not rest until he sees Stefano and his minions get hurt, "Your reign of terror is over. Period."

Sami wants to stay in their home. So does Lucas. They want to make the place a home for the twins. Lucas promises to protect Sami and the twins. Roman OK's it. He says he will post guards outside the door. He hugs Sami and leaves. "What now," asks EJ, "Shall we have a game of hearts?"

Chelsea tells Jett she is tired of obsessing over relationships. She heads for the hot tub. He follows. She tells him the near-kiss was not a big deal. Jett says he was a jackass and was really mad at himself. He was using her to get over Danielle. Chelsea says she was using him too. They decide to forgive and forget. She invites him into the Jacuzzi. Jett hops in as Chelsea says, "What matters is not letting things that don't happen get in the way." Jett agrees.

Stefano claps and says bravo. He says Tony has a sense of drama.

Roman interrupts. He and Tony have a joyful reunion. Tony says Anna and he would like to have Roman over for dinner. Roman thinks that's a good idea.

Roman tells Stefano he missed with the bomb. Stefano acts like he doesn't know anything about a bomb. Obviously, he hasn't been watching DOOL lately. Roman says whoever planted it is trying to frame EJ, "After the smoke cleared, the smell was like an old man ready to die." Roman vows they all will soon be dancing on Stefano's grave. He suggests Stefano spend as much quality time with Andre as he can, since Andre will be going to prison. Roman leaves.

Outside, Roman tells the officer guarding the room to call if there is any trouble. Tony comes out and tells Roman to let him know if there is anything he can do. Roman asks about the key. He tells Tony to find out what lock it goes in and get his hands on it whatever the cost.

Hope wants to rip Bo's clothes off and strip him down just to practice for his upcoming streaking event. Bo says it won't happen because Roman will love his freedom.

Tony and Anna walk in and we have a joyful reunion. Tony says he told Stefano he came back to bring him down. Roman walks in. He stomps over and says a few words to Bo. Roman is in a bad mood. He says he has other things to do somewhere else. Anna chases, but Roman runs away.

Things aren't going Bo's way. Hope says, "Roman's running out before the other shoe drops." She grabs Bo's shirt... RIP! "Speaking of dropping...I don't mean shoes."

EJ says he's just trying to make everyone relax. Lucas decides to be civil. He hands EJ his briefcase, "We hate to see you go but... Cheerio. You don't want the door to hit you on the way out do you?"

Chelsea is glad she and Jett have talked all this out. Jett thinks they might become closer friends because of it. Suddenly, they both feel really hot and decide they need to cool off. They stand up and nervously talk about the strip, the moon, the weather, whatever. Jett gets out to dry off. Chelsea crawls over the ledge and slips into his arms. Of course, Jeremy and Nick walk in as Chelsea and Jett hold on to each other and giggle.

Dr. Lewis calls and asks for Roman. He wants him back at the hospital.

We pan out to see Andre's hospital room. The guard who used to be outside the door is in Andre's bed tied up and struggling. Dr. Lewis says, "We don't know how this happened."

Roman runs back out into the pub and tells them about Andre escaping, "Stefano has disappeared, too." He looks around the room and asks, "Where did Bo go."

Bo the streak comes back in and stands behind a carefully placed curtain. A small curtain. They all tell him Andre has escaped.

"Let's go get him," says Bo.

"Maybe you should put some pants on first," says Roman, "Maybe with a little luck, we'll catch someone with their pants down."

EJ says it was under different circumstances when he promised to move out of his apartment. Lucas vows to keep watching EJ. EJ looks down at his briefcase, "Is it me, or is my briefcase beeping?"

"OMG," gasps Sami. They all stare at the briefcase.

Max says, "I just want to know that you're OK." Ilsa says, "I cannot talk to you." Max says, "I'm one of the good guys. I swear, Ilsa, just talk..." Creepo interrupts, "Hey! The little lady is with me, so just back off, Jack!"
