Blow It Up, Blow It Out

OR... "One Hell Of A Bachelor Party"

OR... "The Sequence Leaves Something To Be Desired"

OR... "Vladimir Putin And Michael Vick"

Stefano drinks liqueur as EJ comes into the rumpus room. Stefano says he has ordered a car, "Do you want a drink? You might need one." EJ pours a double. Stefano adds more and salutes, "To Anthony." They drink up. "This is not only your wedding day," says Stefano, "It is also the day Phillip Kiriakis will have paid in full for what he did."

Masi checks his pistol.

Phillip walks into a hotel room and finds Stephanie dressed in a... well, actually, "dressed" is an overstatement. Phillip does a double-take, "Wow! I wish all my clients dressed like that."

Stephanie says, "This is strictly business. Because business is all that gets your attention." At the moment, something else seems to have Phillip's attention. Cheesy trumpet music plays as Stephanie takes his cell phone and they get down to, uh... business.

A nurse tells Lexie she's working too hard, "My God, you've been here five minutes already!"

"You're right," says Lexie, "I'd better take a break before I collapse. I have to go read scripture at my brothers wedding."

Dr. Baker watches and hears Lexie talking about the wedding, "Well, I guess my invitation got lost in the mail."

Nicole sits in the sanctuary and tells Sydney pretty soon her daddy will make an honest woman out of her. There must be a new definition of honesty.

Sami calls Rafe as she walks out of her apartment with Grace. Back inside, Johnny and Allie play with matches. Sami leaves a message and tells Grace she has a sick feeling and her hands are shaking, But it's better that the truth comes out now."

Chloe finds Nicole and tells her she needs to finish getting ready, "Just think, at the end of this day we will be a couple of old married ladies."

Nicole gasps, "NO!"

Chloe says, "I was kidding."

"It's not that," says Nicole, "I left my pearls in the car."

"Oh," says Chloe, "Well now I can see why you went suicidal. I'll go get them." As she leaves, she bumps into Brady in the narthex and tells him to get out.

Nicole prays, "Dear God, if you take care of EJ and Sydney... I just want to be a good mother to her. And I want to be a good wife to EJ. I know I screwed up. The reason I'm doing this is... I just need your help. Thank you." She turns to find Dr. Baker watching. Not finding him exactly to be the answer to her prayer, Nicole turns back to the altar, looks up at God and says, "That's really not funny."

God tries to stifle his chuckling, "That was a good one. I learned it from Lucas."

Nicole turns back to Baker, "Get out now."

Dr. Baker asks, "Do you really expect me to stay away on your big day?"

Lexie sits at the bar in the pub. Max comes up and tells her the order will take a minute. He offers his condolences about Tony. Lexie says she is is conflicted about going to the wedding after what's happened. Max reminds her after she eats food from the pub, she won't have to worry about the wedding since they'll be rushing her to the hospital instead. She thanks him for his concern and Max goes for her order.

Brady tells Chloe he wants to see Nicole. Chloe doesn't think that's a good idea. Brady disagrees, and Chloe comes unglued, "I'm sick of men who think they know what women want more than the women do."

Brady asks, "Where is this coming from?"

Chloe snaps, "From me... telling you to turn around and go home."

Dr. Baker says he's hurt by Nicole's attitude. He thinks he had a lot to do with putting this day together. Nicole just wants him to get out.

EJ and Stefano stand like statues in the rumpus room and watch the plants grow. "This is turning out to be one hell of a bachelor party," says EJ, "If it gets any less exciting I'd swear it's an episode of DOOL."

Stefano tells EJ how much his love for his children will grow, "You will come to love them more than you can ever believe."

"Just like Victor loves Phillip."

"I know," says Stefano, "That's why this is being done."

Stephanie helps Phillip undress. "No one," she says, "even has a clue where we are."

Masi searches.

Sami rushes into the pub all in a dither, "MAX! I got a flat tire and need you to blow it up, blow it out, or whatever.!"

Stephanie nibbles. Phillip can't believe how happy he is right now. Things get happier.

Stefano says they shouldn't tell Nicole about Phillip's fate before it happens, "She has no role in the family business. Tell her she is the only person who could have saved Phillip's life and she chose not to. Now it's time for you to make her a real member of this family... in the eyes of God."

"God help all of us," whispers EJ.

Dr. Baker says he did not appreciate Nicole replacing him as Sydney's pediatrician. He says he is there to remind her she should not get on his bad side. Nicole doesn't want him at the wedding. "I was thinking of bringing a guest," says Baker, "Maybe Mia." Nicole says she doesn't want him to rain on her parade.

Chloe tries to get Brady to leave. Brady refuses. "If you barge in there," says Chloe, "you won't even have a chance at this. You know... in 'The Graduate' when Benjamin whisked Elaine from the church at the last minute... that was just a movie."

"And this," says Brady, "is just a two bit soap opera."

Nicole prays. She flashes back to Mia telling her she lied. Apparently Dr. Baker has gone for a pre-ceremony crack at the punchbowl.

Max agrees to go fix the tire. Sami tells Grace things are not going well.

Stefano and EJ arrive at the church. Lexie tells them Abe isn't there because he thought it wouldn't be a good idea for the mayor to show up at a DiMera wedding. Father Mac greets them. They all go into the sanctuary except EJ, who gets a call. Masi tells them the Kiriakis mansion is empty.

Stephanie and Phillip. Phillip gasps, "Are you sure?" Stephanie is sure.

Soft porn ensues. As they writhe around, music blasts in the background, "Come on baby take me. Do just want you want to do. Baby I can't stop. Not when it gets this hot." Man, this is a classy show.

Masi rages.

EJ sees Brady and asks him to leave. Brady asks, "What are you going to do throw me out?"

"If I have to."

Chloe brings the pearls and tells Nicole Brady wants to talk to her. Nicole frets, "Brady's here? Who else is going to show up at this wedding? Sami? Victor? Vladimir Putin and Michael Vick?"

Stefano and EJ instruct their flunky to keep an eye on Brady. EJ tells Stefano Masi can't find Phillip. Stefano pulls a card out of his pocket and tells EJ to give Masi the number on it. Another flunky comes up and EJ gives him the card, "When everything is done you destroy that." Stefano tells EJ to forget about business and concentrate on Nicole.

Chloe tells Nicole she looks beautiful. She heads out as Nicole continues to worry. She takes a deep breath, "Damn the torpedoes and full speed ahead!"

Max returns and tells Sami the spare in her car is flat, too. Chelsea has his car and Caroline is on jury duty, so Sami can't use her car. Sami decides she has to walk to the church. She runs out of the pub to get the stroller from her car. Outside, she bumps into Masi, "Jerk."

Max leans down and tells Grace she won't have a boring life. Suddenly Max scowls, "Are you OK? You don't feel good do you?" Dumb-da-dumb-dumb! Apparently, not only will Grace not have a boring life, she also won't have a long one. Unless... unless... she can get a blood transfusion from her... gasp... MOTHER!

Chloe comes down the aisle. Then Nicole. She and Brady share a stare as she heads in. Nicole arrives at the altar and Brady leaves. Flunky #1 follows.

EJ asks Nicole, "Are you ready?"

"Absolutely."

Father Mack begins the ceremony. He looks at Sydney, "Not long ago we had a ceremony here in the church with that little one, and now today we joyously join her parents in holy matrimony, although the sequence leaves something to be desired."

Brady watches from the foyer, "Good luck, Nicole, you are gonna need it." Flunky #1 follows him as he goes.

Masi is on the phone, "It won't be a problem." He hangs up and gets another call. A pair of lips tells him, "Phillip Kiriakis is at the Ambassador hotel. 1812 East Main."

"Which room," asks Masi.

"I don't know," says the voice, "But there are only a few hundred of them."

Masi hangs up, "As the Americans say, you're gonna go out with a bank." In this economy, that's how most Americans did go out.

Stephanie. Phillip. Afterglow. Stephanie says she's glad they had all those fights. "Fights," asks Phillip, "I act like a jerk and you tell me I'm acting like a jerk. That's not a fight." Stephanie is glad they happened because it made them face their issues. She says she acted like she did because she was scared he was going to hurt her. Phillip says he's going to try to be the guy she can trust, and then heads in for seconds...

Sami comes back into the pub and rants about a parking ticket. Max tells her Grace is sick. Sami doesn't buy it, but Max tells Sami she should take Grace to a doctor.

The wedding...

Sami tries to convince Grace she doesn't have a fever. Vultures circle. Max offers to take Grace to a doctor. Sami insists she's fine, "What... do you want her to live? "

The wedding... "Like all couples," says Father Mack, "Nicole and EJ have had their ups and downs. In fact that's how this all got started." We go through a series of flashbacks. Arguments... The switcheroo... Nicole cries and EJ hands her a hankie.

EJ peeks at his watch, "It seems like this episode has lasted for hours."

Sami goes nuts trying to convince Max Grace is not sick, "I am taking her to EJ right now!"

The wedding...

Brady wanders at the pier. Flunky #1 follows. Brady turns and sees him.

Flunky #2 gets a call.

Masi paces outside the room. He takes out his gun and listens.

"I love you," gasps Phillip. We pan out through the window, where we find Johnny and Allie dangling from a ledge on the 96th floor.

Sami walks outside and hears the church bells, "No! We're too late!"

EJ takes Nicole's hands as the priest asks the dreaded question, "If there are any here present who know any just cause that this couple should not wed, speak now or forever hold your peace."

We wait...

We wait...

We wait...

Mia steps up, "I would like to..."

As EJ's head spins like a top, the priest asks, "Yes dear, what is it you would like to say?"
