The Mother And Child Reunion

Kate visits Lucas in his hospital room, "Do you feel all right?"

"I feel terrible."

"Well," says Kate, "you certainly must feel better than you look." Lucas curses demon booze.

Daniel and Chloe argue. Daniel says, "I don't want to go through this again."

A gal in the audience shouts, "NEITHER DO WE!"

Chloe insists it's over. Daniel says none of this makes sense. Chloe interrupts him and says it makes perfect sense to her.

Phillip accuses Brady of having an affair with Nicole Brady denies it.

EJ insists this isn't jealousy. He admits he doesn't like Brady, "He's always hopping around like an annoying gnat. And he's made you paranoid. "It wasn't Brady," says Nicole, "

EJ asks, "Who was it."

Nicole ignores the question, "All right. I won't see him anymore."

EJ closes in, "I love you, Nicole and I promise I will cherish you for all the Days Of Our Lives. That is, right up until I find out what you've done and kill you." Kissing ensues. Sydney cries and EJ picks her up, "Did we scare you sweetheart? I'm sorry, but the noise is over." Unfortunately that would take a mute button.

EJ walks off. Nicole whines, "What am I gonna do?"

Chloe and Daniel continue to argue. Chloe thinks they need some privacy. Daniel suggests the park. Chloe suggests they meet there later. Daniel says they have to go right now, "I'm not gonna let you out of my sight. Not until you understand I will never let you go."

"Or," says Chloe, "Until you really get to know me. They you'll drop me like a hot potato and run out screaming."

Nicole calls Phillip and tells her she couldn't talk EJ into backing off. Phillip threatens. Nicole begs. Phillip gets nasty, "I don't make threats I don't follow through on. You didn't do your part. Now you gotta pay the price."

Phillip hangs up and calls EJ. EJ resists talking to him. "You'll want to hear this," says Phillip, "I have something interesting to say."

"How can that be," asks EJ, "Did the show get new writers?"

Nicole frets and decides she has to go see Phillip. She lets a bunch of hungry wolves into the room, puts Sydney on the floor where they can get to her and heads for the hills. As Nicole opens the front door...

SAMI!

Phillip tells EJ, "I'm only going to say this one time..." EJ scolds him for using such a big number.

Kate tells Lucas about her good test results. Lucas explod... uh... beams with excitement for her. Kate tells him now that she's had her miracle cure, she can work on getting his life back in order. She'll do everything she can to get Chloe back in his life. Lucas hopes her test results were wrong.

Meanwhile, out in the park, Chloe tells Daniel the explosion changed everything.

Henderson interrupts as Phillip is about to spill the beans. He tells him about the Lucasplosion. Phillip hangs up on EJ and rushes out because it's impossible to talk on a cell phone while you're going somewhere.

Sami forces her way in, "Sami's back. She's here to stay."

Nicole asks, "What the hell are you doing here?"

Sami says, "I came to take my baby."

Nicole snorts, "Johnny is a little boy, not a baby. Learn to speak English. He's with Caroline. She took him to the petting zoo, and people are lined up for blocks to pet him." Nicole shifts gears, "Any changes in your life while you were in the witless protection program?"

Phillip asks, "So, you're here to see your mom?"

"No," says Stephanie, "Actually my dad and I are here to take her home."

"That's great," says Phillip, "But I don't see your dad."

"He's my imaginary dad now," says Stephanie, "You have to play like you see him. It's a lot cheaper than having an actor play his part."

"But his acting has improved," says Phillip.

Kate wonders why Chloe was at Daniel's apartment. "Wherever you've got noxious fumes flowing out of an opening," says Lucas, "is where you'll usually find Chloe's mouth."

Chloe tells Daniel Lucas was dead after the explosion. Daniel gives us a medical lecture and insists Lucas wasn't dead. Chloe tells Daniel about her prayer, "It brought Lucas back to life and now I have to keep my promise. And I'm changing careers and going on the road as a faith healer."

Sami insists the witless protection program was boring. "Sure," sighs Nicole, "If that's your story..." Sami asks about Nicole's pregnancy. Nicole tells her about Sydney.

"You don't look like you were never pregnant," says Sami.

"I have a high metabolism," says Nicole, "It offsets my low IQ." she gives Sami the once-over, "You seem to have packed on the pounds. What? You thought a bigger target would make it easier for the killer?" Nicole says she doesn't object that Sami came there for Johnny. Sami zones out and gives us her thousand-yard stare. Nicole asks, "Did I say something to upset you?"

Daniel insists Lucas wasn't dead and it wasn't Chloe's prayer that brought him back to life. Chloe says, "You know, I've never really believed in miracles. Not even disappearing scars. But now I do, so I have to give you up for Lent. I can't walk away from my second chance."

"I get it," says Daniel.

"Not any more," says Chloe.

Lucas doesn't know why either he or Chloe was at Daniel's apartment. Kate wonders why he started drinking. Lucas doesn't know that either, "I just wanted to be numb – my whole body, not just my brain. But it didn't work. Now the pain is worse because I still love her."

Phillip apologizes to Stephanie.

Sami and Nicole continue to argue. Nicole gloats about her situation in comparison to Sami's. Sami bets EJ will never marry her. Nicole says they have already set a date. EJ walks in on WW III. That stops Sami in her tracks. She gulps, "Hey, EJ."

EJ whispers, "Hey, Sami."

Stephanie wants to know what Phillip is sorry for. She tosses out a few things he's done to get him started. Phillip says he thought he could run a business into the ground the way he wanted and still have her. But now he knows she's worth everything, "I just wanna do right by you, Stephanie. You gotta know that."

Stephanie whines, "So you're asking me for another chance... again?"

Kate reminds Lucas there are other women out there who are capable of making a fool out of him. "Not like Chloe," says Lucas, "She's special. But I can't figure it out. She was here when I woke up and said she wanted to get back together."

Daniel thinks Chloe is suffering from guilt over Lucas. Chloe reminds him she has reason to feel guilty. Daniel says being with someone out of guilt is the worst possible reason to be together. Being with them out of lust is a different story.

EJ and Sami stand frozen. EJ comes on in and they stammer around each other. Sami brings up the wedding date, "Wow, are you really going to marry the bitch?"

"No," says EJ, "Pookie's not my type."

Chloe whines, "I made a promise to God."

Daniel snorts, "And I can just go to hell, is that it?"

"I love you and I don't know how I will ever stop," says Chloe, "but this is the way it has to be."

"There is a a way out," says Daniel, "I will tell Lucas and you will be off the hook."

Lucas says he isn't ready to decide about getting back with Chloe right now. He asks Kate's opinion. Kate thinks Chloe is very special and she will be forever grateful to her, "If you have a chance at love, think twice before you walk away."

"I have problems thinking once," says Lucas.

Phillip begs. Stephanie rejects. She leaves.

EJ separates Nicole and Sami. He says he wants Sami's coming home to mark a new beginning, "Can't we all just get along?"

Rodney King sticks his head into the room, "Hey, that's my line."

Sydney cries. Sami asks, "That's your baby?"

Lucas asks if Kate has thought about why she walked away from Daniel. She says she thought she wasn't going to be around long and didn't want to burden him. Phillip walks in, "Hey, I came to see my brother who got drunk and blew himself up! So, bro, do you need to borrow a body part? " Kate says her goodbyes and leaves. As she goes, Lucas suggests Kate find Daniel and show him how grateful she is to be in remission.

Chloe begs Daniel not to tell Lucas, "What we had is over and you have to accept that."

Daniel staggers, "This is really happening."

"It has to," says Chloe, "somehow."

"I don't mean us breaking up," says Daniel, "I'm talking about the bad dialog."

EJ says, "Yep, that's the newest addition to our household." He goes to feed the baby. Sami and Nicole go back to sniping at each other. Sami asks, "Why did you give her a boy's name?"

"It's not a boy's name," says Nicole, "Sydney is a city in Australia I want to visit someday."

"In that case," snipes Sami, "I wish you'd named her Siberia and then you could go there instead." Sami warns Nicole to keep a firm hold on Sydney, because she's with the DiMeras. Nicole says she's about to become a DiMera. Sami backs off and turns to leave. EJ walks up with Sydney.

Lucas tells Phillip he doesn't know why he was at Daniel's or why Chloe was there. Phillip wants to know what Lucas is going to do about his engagement with Chloe. Lucas says he isn't sure. Stephanie comes up and eavesdrops as the boys talk about love.

Daniel presses. Chloe stops him and says her betrayal was unforgivable but she will make it up to Lucas. Daniel refuses to believe it or let their affair end. It already has," says Chloe, "It's over. Forever."

Daniel asks, "Does that mean forever in real time or forever in DOOL time?" They kiss goodbye. Daniel turns it into a hot one as Kate comes up and watches the show.

Mother and Child Reunion plays in the background. Sami gushes over Sydney. EJ starts to pass her off and let Sami hold her. Nicole panics...

"NO!"

Apparently Nicole is concerned about cooties.
