I'm A Slut – There, I Said It

Melanie meets EJ, who chastises her for being late. "I'm not a morning person," says Melanie.

"I figured that," says EJ, "In order to be a morning person you have to be a person, which means you have to be human."

Melanie says she's there to seal the deal. "I don't know," says EJ, "You've been consorting with the Kiriakis family."

Phillip rushes around. He's off to work but Victor asks him to stay for breakfast. Phillip says he is worried about the Kaiser account. Victor says Brady already convinced them to sign.

Daniel calls Chloe. Avert your eyes. It could be phone sex. She tells him she ended things with Lucas but he doesn't know the truth. Daniel announces after Kate's big exam today they may be able to leave Salem together tonight, "I love you."

"I love you, too."

Daniel hangs up and turns to find Kate. Chloe turns to find Lucas and Allie. Stares abound.

Allie runs up to see Chloe. Lucas tries to pry her away and says they have to go.

Melanie tells EJ she's not sure how much Phillip knows about their deal, "He found the money in my purse, but I handled it like a pro."

EJ gets his best laugh of the day, "You are not a pro."

"I know exactly what I am doing," says Melanie. EJ tells her the DiMera scientists are working round the clock on the half-formula and it's no time at all until they crack the code, "You are completely disposable."

A gal in the audience stands up and shouts, "So dispose of her!" Her neighbor pulls her back into her seat and she apologizes for causing a ruckus, "Sorry, I just couldn't control myself."

Phillip sulks and reminds Victor the Kaiser account was his. He struts around and rants at Brady for stealing it. Victor whoas him up, "I think Brady handled things well. He's spent a lot of time in Europe and knew how to communicate wit him. They responded to his demeanor."

"Yeah," sneers Phillip, "He gives great demeanor." Victor asks about the Alternative Fuels Project. Phillip blows up and says it's handled.

Victor says, "I asked Brady to step in and see if he could do some PR with Melanie Layton."

Phillip asks, "PR?"

"Panama Red," says Victor, "If we can get them busted smoking drugs, we'd have to sacrifice Brady, but it would be worth it to get Melanie out of our hair."

"Nobody understands what makes her tick like I do," says Phillip.

"That's what worries me."

Daniel and Kate share an uncomfortable moment. Kate says if the news on these tests is good, it's all because of him. Hugs. Maggie The Mouth walks up and soaks it in.

Since Lucas can't pry Allie away he decides to let her stay. Then he shoos her off to play in traffic. He tells Chloe he doesn't want Allie anywhere near her. Lucas wants to know why she broke it off with him, "I want to know why. Or who."

Melanie gives EJ her fakey stupid smile, "I'd have to be nuts to mess with a DiMera."

EJ is starting to worry me. He's been showing a lot of perception lately. He continues his winning streak with, "You are nuts. For Phillip as far as I can tell."

Melanie says she is over Phillip and his stupid little dimples. Melanie tells EJ, "I get it – I have to prove my loyalty to you. So, I'll do anything. Really. Anything."

EJ asks, "Does that include leaving town?"

Phillip and Victor argue about the Alternative Fuels Project. Phillip asks for just one more chance. King Victor grants it, "But one mistake and Melanie won't be the only one looking for a new job." Victor walks off. Phillip scowls.

Maggie walks in on the dannygrannyfest. She asks if Lucas told Kate why Chloe broke off the engagement. Kate dunno. She says she still has hopes the wedding will go through. Kate walks off and Daniel becomes the object of Maggie's wrath.

Chloe blubbers, "Just tell me how much you hate me."

Lucas says, "I can't, because I sill love you."

Chloe says, "I still love you, too."

EJ fondles Melanie's cheek. He gets dangerously close to fondling other things, "I admire you, Melanie, but always remember... When you wage war... there are always casualties." He gives her a little cheek slap and walks off.

Nervous Melanie calls out, "OK, uh... EJ, you've won the war. Just show me where to sign."

EJ looks back, "We'll see."

Phillip and Brady bicker. Brady says he has no interest in working with Melanie. Sarcastic Phillip says, "My spirits are soaring now." Kate interrupts. Brady takes off. Kate Phillip him the test results aren't in but she's trying to maintain a positive attitude. Phillip hugs, "Once you get those good results, you can start a new life again."

"Right," says Kate, "I'll be back walking the streets in no time."

Maggie rants and lectures, "What Chloe is in love with is the excitement of doing something forbidden. She barely knows you. That girl is in for a rude awakening."

Chloe says if she could change things she would.

Lucas says he has had it with the clichés and stomps off. Chloe collapses in tears onto the park bench. Father Methuselah walks up, "Are you all right, dear?"

EJ meets Brady outside of the pub. They banter about Nicole and the wedding. EJ tells Brady he's not on the guest list. Brady is sorry about that, "I wanted to watch Nicole make the biggest mistake of her life by marrying a DiMera."

EJ reminds Brady he's a DiMera, "And Father does not take kindly to family members who are traitors."

Victor joins Kate and Phillip who are planning a trip together with Lucas. Phillip takes off. Kate senses something is going on between the two of them. Victor says Phillip screwed up and he called him on it. Kate says if she gets good news she's going to make things right for her sons.

Lucas bellies up to the bar at the pub. He eyes the booze.

Father Methuselah asks Chloe if she wants to talk. Chloe bawls, "I've done a terrible thing, Father."

"Did you have an impure thought," asks the Father.

"No," says Chloe, "An impure life."

Lucas orders a bloody Mary. Melanie recognizes him.

EJ and Brady wrap things up as Phillip spies. He walks up to Brady, "What the hell do you think you're doing?"

Victor tells Kate to cut her sons some slack. Kate zones out, "I wish I knew what happened with Chloe."

Victor comes up with a few choice words, "She's a two-bit tramp who sweeps through men like a tornado." Kate defends Chloe. She decides to intervene and make things right between Chloe and Lucas.

Daniel tells Maggie to butt out. It's all in vain since Maggie's butt is too big for anyone to take on.

I'm not Catholic," says Chloe, "My soul is beyond saving."

The compassionate Father says, "That's never the case, my child."

God jumps in, "You don't know her."

Chloe gives the priest her life story, "I'm a slut. There – I said it."

Kate reminds Victor Chloe risked her life for her. Kate says she knows Victor is a good man, but a crummudgeon. She says she distanced herself from Daniel because she didn't want him to go through with her what he did with his wife, but she still cares for him and will tell him.

Daniel tells Maggie he and Chloe won't be ashamed for what they have done. Maggie brings her wrath down on him and reminds him he will have to tell Kate, "Hell hath no fury like Kate Roberts scorned."

Chloe tells the priest about her "two men." Father Methuselah sees Chloe is conflicted. Chloe thinks she deserves to wind up alone.

Melanie introduces herself. Lucas tells her he's busy. Melanie notices he's sitting there alone. She looks around and wrinkles her brow, "Uh... yeah... I can see you're really busy. Look, I'd like you to give me some advice."

Lucas grumbles, "Floss before you go to bed."

"Wow," beams Melanie, "Move over Jerry Seinfeld." Lucas says he wants to be left alone. Melanie goes off and sees Brady and Phillip talking outside.

Brady and Uncle Phillip continue to argue. Phillip stomps off.

Lucas contemplates his bloody Mary, "Don't do it Lucas." He decides to call Maggie, and then takes Chloe's ring out and looks at it. Flashback to the deringification. That does it. Lucas falls off the wagon.

Maggie pops pills as Melanie comes into the kitchen. Maggie sees her come in and takes a double dose. Melanie tells her about meeting the infamous Lucas.

Maggie asks, "Did he seem OK?"

"No," says Melanie, "He bugged me out a little and shooed me off and ordered a bloody Mary." Maggie chokes and heads for her phone. As fast as the town gossip works, we can't be sure if she's calling Lucas or the ladies in her bridge club.

Kate runs into Daniel at the hospital. She invites him out to get a drink and suggests maybe after that they could go to his place. Daniel's lack of excitement is overwhelming, "There is something I need to tell you."

Kate thinks he's about to give her bad news about the test results. "That's it," says Daniel, "I tested positive for Chloe cooties."

Father Methuselah cheers Chloe up. He advises her, "I think I know exactly what you need to do."

Phillip pounds on the door of the DiMera mansion and shouts, "EJ answer the door!" EJ answers and Phillip explodes, "You SOB, you're using Melanie to steal the Alternative Fuels Project. It's over DiMera. We're going to settle this right here, right now."
