The Bees Knees

Lucas and Chloe rush around the Horton cabin and pack for Vegas. Since it's a long trip and the weather will be good in Salem, Lucas decides to leave Allie outside with the cat until they get back. He tells Chloe he had a chat with Daniel. Chloe panics.

Kate pops the big question, "Are you now or have you ever had a relationship with Chloe?" Daniel acts all insulted and starts to leave. Kate threatens to make a scene, "Sit down and tell me all about your latest lady love. The passion... The sorrow... The whining..."

Chelsea walks outside and bumps into Max. She reminds him it's over. We all know it is, too, but we're going to have to suffer through it for the next hour anyway. Chelsea flashes back to Max talking about wanting to be a father.

Melanie sits in the pub and computes. Brady finds her. She asks if her project is DOA.

Nicole tosses and turns. Her phone buzzes. She answers. Phillip badgers her about EJ, "Your fiancée screwed me over. Now it's payback time."

Melanie asks Brady if they fixed the computer system at Titan. "No," says Brady, "It's a total disaster... A real SNADU."

"Don't' you mean SNAFU?"

"SNADU," says Brady, "Situation Normal All DOOLed up."

"I didn't realize things were that bad," says Melanie.

Phillip tells Nicole every single file on the system was erased. He accuses the DiMeras, "Say ta-ta to your Euro-trash lover boy because I'm gonna tell him everything I know about your sleazy affair with Brady." Phillip hangs up. Nicole frets.

Daniel wonders why Kate's source wouldn't have gone to Chloe or Lucas. "My source wouldn't want to spread gossip," says Kate.

"So," says Daniel, "That rules out Maggie and Hope."

Kate asks, "What if what they heard was really out of context?"

Daniel says, "On DOOL, there is no such thing as context."

Kate asks, "So you're admitting that you're having an affair with Chloe?"

Daniel says, "Of course. But that doesn't mean anything because it's out of context." Daniel pounds down more booze and says he isn't admitting anything. He suggests someone saw them together at the hospital when Chloe was his patient and misconstrued what was going on.

Kate says, "My source says it was somewhere else, but I agree my source might have misconstrued why your tongue was down Chloe's throat. I'm afraid not just for Lucas' happiness, but his life."

Chloe wonders what Lucas and Daniel talked about. "We talked about eloping," says Lucas, "Daniel encouraged me to do it, but I told him I'd rather elope with you."

Chelsea whines and babbles. She tells Max it's nothing he did and she doesn't want to be with anyone else. She tells him she heard him talking to Will and heard him say he couldn't wait to be a dad. "Since I can't have kids..."

I know," says Max, "The gene pool is a safer place."

Phillip computes and rages. Stephanie brings coffee. Phillip tells her someone burned the only hard copy they had of the project.

Nicole sneaks around in the dark. EJ wakes up and she tells him she's headed for the store to get formula. EJ gets up and comes over to her, "Sydney is asleep. She doesn't need the formula urgently. You know what I need urgently." He moves in on her.

Melanie wonders if Brady thinks she sabotaged the files. Brady asks, "Why would anyone suspect you?"

Nicole pulls away and says she has to get to the store. EJ starts to go get Mary, but Sydney saves the day by crying. Nicole declares an emergency and rushes out.

Chloe thinks it's bizarre Daniel would be so interested in their wedding. "He likes you," says Lucas, "He thinks you are the bees knees. He said I should do whatever it takes to keep you happy." Chloe decides she doesn't want to talk about Daniel. She changes the subject. Lucas assures her the wedding will happen, "It's gonna be you and me for all the Days Of Our Lives."

Daniel dances around the subject of Lucas and Chloe. Kate thinks Chloe tolerates Lucas, but wonders if she loves him. She says she believes Daniel, "I can't even picture the two of you together. Chloe really is quite common. The hair... the makeup... Did you ever meet her mother? That's why I feel for Lucas' future. If we get back together, we don't have to worry about Chloe ever being jealous."

Daniel says, "I'm not sure where you're going with this."

"Since I'm in remission," says Kate, "I feel like a new woman. I want you back in my life." Daniel wants to be back in Timbuktu.

Contrary to public opinion, Poison and Cheap Trick are not rock bands. Instead, that's what Kate has planned for Chloe.

Max says someday he wants a family, but reminds her they were both adopted, "And look how we turned out... lousy." Max isn't sure they would eventually wind up together, but he doesn't want her telling him what he needs or wants, "I know what I want." He moves in for what he wants.

Out in the audience, a gal turns to the person in the seat next to her, "I'm not sure what Max needs, but I need a barf bag."

Phillip says he's going to try to keep this from Victor, "Who am I kidding. I might as well clean out my office right now. He nearly fired me for my tie being crooked. He'd be right to fire me. I let him down... and you. I'm not the confident can-do guy you thought I was."

Nicole talks into her cell phone, "Don't you ever answer your phone? I need to see you now." She rushes out the door.

Kate wonders if she has put Daniel on the spot. Daniel says he just thinks she hasn't given this enough thought. "I think about you night and day," says Kate, "Mostly at night. In bed. Fantasizing. Do you fantasize about me?"

Daniel sidesteps the question, "You and me – it's not gonna happen."

Chloe talks about going on a real honeymoon after they are married. Lucas says they don't' need a honeymoon. What they need are jobs and the money to pay for a honeymoon. They smooch as Will walks in.

Travis walks into the pub and finds Brady. Brady thanks him for all the work he is doing.

Stephanie says she hates to see Phillip like this but is happy to find out he is human. Most of him anyway. Phillip thinks they have to end things now.

Will practically hurls. He says he came there to pick up his phone, because he remembered where he put it. He walks over to the refrigerator, opens it and takes the phone out, "I can't afford an iPhone, so I didn't know how else to have a cool phone." Then he sees the suitcases and a brochure and wonders what's up. Lucas tells him they are going to Vegas to get married. Will pukes again. Lucas wonders if Will is worried that he and his mom are separated for good, "Why don't you come on our honeymoon with us?" Now Will really gets sick.

Phillip says he doesn't want to be fallible. He thinks that's weak. He admits he's scared. Stephanie says she will help and they are in this together. She declares they are officially back together. Phillip goes back to work. Stephanie moves in on him and says she wants him to relax. They relax together.

Melanie stomps into the mansion and tells EJ he is on her list. "And you..." says EJ, "You are a right royal pain in my arse."

"Cut the bull," she shouts, "You never intended to develop this project in the first place, did you?"

Lucas begs Will to come with them on their honeymoon, "Chloe and I will do our thing and then we can hang out." Will passes up the offer to stay in school, "Let's see... a trip to Vegas with you and Chloe vs. the drudgery and boredom of Salem High. That's a no-brainer."

Lucas gets a call, "You gotta be kidding me! I know there is nothing you can do, but if there is any way..." he hangs up and tells Chloe there are mechanical difficulties on the plane and they can't leave until tomorrow.

"Will the mechanical difficulties be fixed by then," asks Chloe.

"No," says Lucas, "But it will be daylight and we'll have a hell of a view of the crash."

Kate says that wasn't the reaction she was expecting, "I thought we were good together. Unless you think our relationship was a mistake."

"The way I handled it was," says Daniel.

"The way you handled me wasn't," says Kate. Daniel says he wants Lucas and Chloe to lead an enjoyable life. He pays and leaves. Kate says to herself, "This wedding needs to be stopped. If Danny Boy won't do it, I will."

Phillip suggests forgetting about the computer problems and getting out of the office. Stephanie goes for her purse.

Melanie rants about EJ's connections with the big oil companies. She says she thinks because of those connections, he didn't want her father's project to see the light of day. Tony listens. EJ laughs, "Why, you've forgotten the formula, haven't you?" She vows this isn't over. Tony smiles.

Nicole meets Brady at the pier. She tells him Phillip is going to blab about their non-affair, "That will force EJ to do some digging and he will find out I wasn't really pregnant."

Brady says, "EJ is so dumb he could dig to all the way to China and not find dirt."

Stephanie and Phillip share drinks at the Kiriakis mansion. She says she has been thinking about what it would be like to be together for a really long time. Phillip wonders if they're both thinking the same thing when she talks about a "really long time." He looks it up in the Guy Manual, which advises, "You're thinking a sleep over. She's thinking the ring... the house... the picket fence..."

Stephanie says she thinks Phillip is too hard on himself, "You have a good heart."

"Hmmm...," says Phillip, "Then that must be one of the body parts that's not really mine."

Chelsea finds Max going through Alternative Fuels Project blueprints at the Cheatin' Heart. He says it's a good things he has them because of the problems at Titan. He puts them in the safe. Apparently, some guy has given Chelsea his phone number. Max gets jealous, "Who was it?"

Chelsea points him out in the crowd, "That's him, over there."

Max asks, "The blind guy?"

"That's the one," says Chelsea.

Max says, "Well, if you're not interested in Steroid Stan, I'll just take that number off your hands." She wads up the piece of paper and kisses him.

Brady promises to help Nicole, "Go home and leave the rest to me." Nicole smooches him and leaves.

EJ tosses Melanie out. He slams the door behind her as the audience cheers wildly. "Kids!" He goes upstairs.

Tony soaks it all in and chases Melanie. Outside, he tells her they can be of benefit to each other.

Kate rushes into the Horton cabin, finding only Will. She asks where Chloe and Lucas are. Will checks the refrigerator. Seeing they're not there, he tells Kate they are on a plane to Las Vegas, "They're getting married tonight." The camera moves back and we get a panoramic view of the room with a cow standing in it. It's the one Kate just had.
