Mixing Business And Displeasure

Melanie and EJ meet on the seedy side of town to discuss the Alternative Fuels Project and prototypes. She suggests he should rustle up a hit on Phillip. EJ makes a call and tells his henchman to whack Phillip.

Phillip bumps into Stephanie at Chez Rouge. Stephanie says she has made her decision.

Maggie tells Daniel to stay away from Chloe, "You're not going after her."

Daniel says, "It's none of your business." That doesn't stop her since Maggie has no concept of something that is none of her business.

Chloe drops the "I can't marry you bomb" on Lucas. Lucas, otherwise known as P.W. Horton, begs and snivels.

Stefano and Victor meet up at Chez Rouge. Stefano says he knows about the injunction. "Let's talk about it another time," says Victor, "I don't like mixing business and displeasure." They declare war as Brady comes in – late. Victor scolds him for his tardiness. He's been with Nicole and Victor doesn't want any part of it.

Baker shows up at the DiMera mansion and starts threatening Nicole. Baker blackmails. Nicole threatens. Baker decides prison wouldn't be so bad, "I got nothin' to lose, Nicole."

Nicole asks, "How about your life?"

Baker retaliates, "You cross the DiMeras and they find out, you'll have all kinds of hell to pay."

Daniel fills Kayla in on the fundraiser. Kayla thinks Daniel seems lonely. Daniel denies it and Kayla assumes there is someone in his life.

Lucas grovels as Chloe cries. She says she's leaving him because she loves him. But she can't marry him until her mascara stops running.

Stephanie says she ran to mommy with her Phillip problems and Kayla reminded her she didn't exactly fall right in love with Patch, but thought Stephanie ought to break up with Phillip for good.

Brady and Victor argue about Nicole. Brady can't understand why Victor hates Nicole so much. Victor snorts, "She tried to kill me. Where is your brain?"

"I knew I forgot something," says Brady.

Nicole tells Baker about the breathing incident and wants to know about any warranties he might have on babies he delivers.

EJ fakes putting a hit on Phillip and Melanie panics. She backpedals like Gerry Cooney on the ropes against Muhammad Ali. He tells her he faked the hit order and says he has another solution. Melanie says, "Thank you, EJ, I knew I could count on you."

EJ says, "Well, I wouldn't be thanking me just yet if I were you."

Stephanie backpedals like Gerry Cooney on the ropes against Muhammad Ali. Suddenly she and Phillip are an item again and they clamp themselves together. Now that their dinners are ruined, the rest of the people in the restaurant run out screaming.

Lucas consults the guy manual for advice, "You're still OK unless she says she's not good enough for you."

"It's not you," says Chloe, "It's me. I'm not good enough for you." Lucas blows sky high. Chloe stands her ground.

Victor threatens to shut doors on Brady if he doesn't get off his Nicole kick.

Baker tells Nicole he wants $10,000. He says he'll be back to collect it tonight. He leaves and Nicole makes a call asking for help. We're supposed to sit on the edge of our seats wondering whom she called when we know well and good it's Brady.

Chloe gets a call and looks at her caller-ID. She sees it's from Daniel and doesn't answer. Lucas gets curious.

Phillip and Stephanie order a heapin' helpin' of each-other ala mode for dessert. They're the only ones left in the restaurant. Maggie, never one to butt in, winks at Phillip and gives him a thumbs up as he and Stephanie dance.

EJ wants proof the prototype isn't poppycock. Melanie assures him no DOOL writer was involved in its design. Although that should be enough for anyone, she tells him she doesn't have a copy of the blueprints, but doesn't think it will be a big problem to come up with them.

Nicole shows up at the Kiriakis mansion. She tells Brady about Baker's threats and asks for his help.

Phillip and Stephanie dance and once again find themselves in a restaurant all by themselves. Phillip challenges her to a pool rematch at the Cheatin' Heart. Stephanie goes to freshen up and Maggie butts in. She tells him she hopes everything is OK with Lucas, "Even though I'm doing all I can to ruin his relationship with Chloe."

Chloe tells Lucas it's nobody important on the phone. Lucas goes back to his groveling, "I love you more than I've ever loved anyone in my life." Chloe remains unmoved and says she just can't make it work. "What's not working," whines Lucas

"Me," says Chloe, "I'm a whoreable person.

Lucas yells, "You're the sweetest..."

Chloe screams, "No! I'm not who you think I am!"

"If you're not the person I think you are," says Lucas, "I guess I have to apologize for thinking you were a whiny, vain, self-centered easy lay who bounces from guy to guy like a hormone crazed pinball."

Kayla wonders if Daniel just called his "mystery woman" and made a date. In addition to her bullet wound, he diagnoses her problem as Maggieitis.

Brady agrees to help Nicole. She reminds him he's a trust fund baby and $10,000 shouldn't be much trouble. He reminds her as an addict, and people don't trust him with funds right now. He suggests she just tell EJ the truth before she gets attached to Sydney. Nicole blows her stack and lets it slip that Sami has something to do with this.

EJ and Stefano meet up in the rumpus room. EJ tells him Melanie took the bait hook, line and sinker.

Melanie snoops around Titan and tries to break into Phillip's account.

Nicole bobs and weaves and says she was just wondering how Sami would handle this. She begs him to help and says she doesn't want to lose everything, "How would helping that baby not be the right thing to do?"

Mr. Subpoena Server meets Phillip at the restaurant. Phillip congratulates him and gives him a bonus as Stephanie watches and seethes.

Kayla digs for details as Daniel evades her questions.

Chloe spews. Lucas wants.

Chloe gives him back his ring. Lucas refuses to take it, but she forces him. He reminds her how much trouble he went to in order to retrieve it from the river. Chloe runs off. Lucas hyperventilates.

Stefano wonders about Melanie, "I heard she's a nut bird out of control."

Melanie tries to guess Phillip's password, "Bears... nope... Colts... nope... Lions... oops. I knew I shouldn't try that one. I was putting in the name of football teams and they don't qualify." She presses a button and alarms go off everywhere.

Brady tells Nicole about Victor's warning and says the only place he can get that kind of money is from him. Nicole gives up and starts to leave, but suddenly Brady backpedals like Gerry... you get the idea.

Stephanie walks up to Phillip and asks who the shady character was. Phillip wants to forget about it and go have some fun. Stephanie drops him like a hot potato and leaves. Phillip stands alone.

Lucas contemplates Chloe's ring and sheds a tear, "It's not even paid for."

Chloe shows up at Daniel's place, "Daniel! Run away with me! Tonight!"

"What was your name again," asks Daniel.

Melanie gets the alarms to shut off and calls security to say she just hit the wrong button and they can call off the dogs. She goes back to work on the password and then figures she can just log in as administrator and get what she wants.

Mary tells EJ Nicole went out.

Brady insists this is the last time he will help Nicole. He goes over to open the safe as Nicole worries that Victor might come home. He makes her turn around while he works the combination. Brady gets the money and gives it to her. Nicole holds the cash and hugs him as Victor walks in and chants the DOOL mantra, "What the hell is going on here?"
