Chew You Up And Spit You Out

Rafe and Sami turn up the heat. She drags him to the couch where they get a little more comfortable.

Chloe arrives at the hospital but the guard stops her from going into Phillip's room. Chloe demands to go in because she is Phillip's sister-in-law. After about five seconds of listening to Chloe whining, the guard is not only ready to let her into the room, but decides to quit his job as well. Brady comes up and drags her off.

Bo calls Hope and tells her the baddie suspected of attempting to whack Phillip is in south America. Hope wants a crack at Stefano herself.

EJ calls Nicole and tells her Stefano is going away fro a few days. He says nobody should know about it. He hangs up and misses her saying, "I love you." Nicole picks up Sydney and remembers telling Mia to stay away.

Sami and Rafe. More action, less clothes. Sami stops him for a second, "Rafe... do you have protection?"

"You know that's illegal in Salem."

Mia is distant. Will tries to break through the fog. Mia talks about Grace, but says she thinks they're having a rockin' good time there at the Java Café. Will agrees, "But there is something else we could do that's fun... if you're interested."

Rafe comes up for air, "Sami, do you know how long I've wanted to be with you like this?"

Sami catches her breath, "Why didn't you say something?"

"I didn't think you wanted to," says Rafe.

"I do," gasps Sami. They get back to business.

Will asks Mia to come and see his baseball game. Mia is completely underwhelmed, but tells him it sounds like fun, "At least while the game is going on I can watch the grass grow in the infield for excitement."

Nicole answers the door to find Hope. She gives her the brush off. Hope wants to know where Stefano is. "It's Wednesday," says Nicole, "Stefano must be bowling." She reluctantly lets Hope in. Hope asks about EJ. Nicole continues to resist. Hope wonders if they should be on their honeymoon. Nicole tells her they postponed it out of respect for Tony. Hope thinks it's strange they didn't postpone the wedding too. Nicole rants. She says they went ahead with the wedding to break up the sadness. Sadness, yes, boredom, no.

Sami and Rafe writhe and grab. A knock at the door interrupts the festivities. Just to show how stupid this show is, Sami actually gets up and answers. She swings the door open. EJ stands there and soaks in the half nekkid Sami.

Chloe asks what happened to Brady's face. He says it's nothing. She thanks him for coming to her rescue. They huckster "The Onion" and then talk about almost losing Phillip. Chloe points out that Nicole is now a DiMera. Brady says that doesn't affect him. Chloe insists he is in love with Nicole. Brady denies.

Sydney cries as Nicole lectures Hope. Hope follows Nicole as she goes into the rumpus room and tries to quiet the baby. She also tries to quiet Sydney. Hope tells her Sydney is beautiful, "Which proves you are not her mother." Hope gives Nicole the 3rd degree about Phillip's shooting. Nicole tells her to get out. Hope wonders where EJ is. She says he should be there since they are newlyweds, "Where is he Nicole?"

Sami rants at EJ for barging in at such an inopportune time, "Why are you here anyway?" EJ tells her he wanted to drop off some preschool brochures. Sami goes ballistic, "Why couldn't you have called or told me where to get the information on the Internet? This is not a good time! We were right at a critical moment. Why couldn't you have shown up just a few minutes later? This is a clear-cut case of... CENSORED."

EJ says he has a business proposal for Rafe. He says Nicole needs a bodyguard. Sami blows her stack, "NO WAY!"

Back at the Java Café, Will and Mia go over their Spanish lesson. Will's friend Ted comes up and talks about the baseball team, "We are gonna kick butt. Our opponents next week have lost some of their stars."

"Sounds like DOOL," says Will.

Suddenly Ted notices Mia. He asks where she is from. Mia says she transferred from Salem West.

Ted thinks he might recognize her, "Were you on the cheerleading squad? I know all about you!"

Nicole says she trusts EJ. Hope doesn't buy it. She tells Nicole she is now responsible for Sydney as well as herself. Nicole gets defensive, "Sidney is the only thing I think about."

"With a mind like yours, one thing is all you can handle," says Hope, "Just remember this... That family will destroy you. They will chew you up and spit you out, along with your daughter."

EJ tries to get under Rafe's skin, "If the bodyguard thing doesn't work out you can be a cable guy. Did you find what you were looking for at my house?" Rafe gets a call and says he has to take it.

After Rafe leaves, Sami tees off on EJ for interrupting the festivities. She tells him to leave, "Give my best to your witch... I mean wife." EJ reminds her she interrupted his wedding and tells her she not only made a fool of herself but almost ruined the most important day of his life. He wants to know why she was there, "I assume it has something to do with our child."

Brady tells Chloe, "If I never hear the words Nicole DiMera again I think I'll be better off." He says he has bigger and more important things to do. Chloe wants to know what that's all about. Brady says it doesn't concern her. She begs him not to be like Victor.

Nicole orders Hope out. Hope wishes her luck and leaves. Once she is gone, Nicole goes back into the rumpus room and picks Sydney up. She apologizes for the commotion, and promises everything will be fine.

Sami says she doesn't owe EJ an explanation. EJ mocks her as Rafe listens. He says he's worried about her behavior. He says he thinks she's having a hard time weaning herself away from him. Sami nukes, "I don't know how many different ways you need me to say this to you, EJ. I am not in love with you. Whatever we had between us is gone."

EJ says he's talking about her and Rafe... "It's a rebound thing. You know that, I know that. The only person who is oblivious is Rafe." Sami lectures as Rafe comes back. EJ saunters out. Rafe says he got bad reception on his cell phone and asks to use the land line.

Ted says he has a friend from Salem West who used to talk about Mia all the time. He turns to Will, "She was high school royalty." He turns back to Mia, "Brad is gonna die when I tell him about you. Brad Winters, a skater dude... do you know him?"

"No," says Mia, "I don't know him."

EJ arrives at the mansion. "Where's Sydney, " he asks.

"Light's out," says Nicole.

"That's where we differ," says EJ, "With me, the lights are on... but nobody's home."

Nicole tells him Hope stopped by and asked questions about him and Stefano. She assures him she didn't say a word, and asks where Stefano went. EJ is evasive. He tells her Stefano went for medical treatment. Nicole thinks everything in the house is one big secret. EJ changes the subject, "Listen... Silence... just you and me. I wonder what we should do with this amazing opportunity." Somehow they come up with something.

When EJ goes to lock the door Nicole finds the envelope addressed to Sami, "Did you and SAMANTHA have a nice little visit?"

Rafe tells Sami he's not taking the job in New York. Sami is ready to get back into action. Rafe stares.

Sami asks, "What's wrong, Rafe?"

"Why don't you tell me?"

Ted leaves. Mia apologizes for overreacting. Will shrugs it off, but asks, "Why are you so closed off?" She says she doesn't want to talk about things she did before she met him.

Brady gets off the phone and Chloe asks about the call. Brady is silent. Chloe wants him to know Victor has a dark side. Brady assures her he's not going to shoot first and ask questions later. He wants the investigation on Phillip's shooting done by the book. Chloe asks, "And if it isn't, then what?"

EJ tells Nicole it's there are preschool brochures in the envelope. He goes to work on her, I want you to think about the ocean. Think about the sun on the beach."

Nicole asks, "Why do you want me to think about Stefano at a time like this?"

EJ says, "I said 'son on the beach' not 'son of a...'" EJ moves in and carries her upstairs.

Sami pouts and broods and says Rafe obviously heard EJ and her talking. She says it doesn't matter what EJ thinks, "What about everything you and I said to each other. If I wanted to be with EJ I'd tell him about Grace."

Rafe still thinks there is a problem, "And we both know what it is."

Mia says she isn't deliberately keeping things from Will. She says nothing that happened before matters to her.

Brady asks how it is being married again, "Is everything with Lucas just wonderful?"

Chloe gives Lucas his most ringing endorsement ever, "Lucas squeezes the toothpaste from the bottom of the tube. I can't believe it's been a month already."

"Is it good?" Enquiring minds...

"It's chaotic," says Chloe, "but we love each other." Brady wishes her the best. He hugs her and says he has to go straighten some things out at Titan. Chloe once again begs him not to become like Victor.

EJ drops Nicole on the bed and goes to work... Time passes... clothes disappear... EJ runs his hand up her body and heaves, "Oh, I love you so much!" We pan out to see her face...

SAMI!

Rafe thinks Sami was hoping EJ would leave Nicole at the altar if she had dropped the bombshell about Grace. Sami denies that and we go back to one of their adolescent arguments. "EJ thinks you love him," says Rafe, "Why would he think that?"

"Men," huffs Sami, "Ya have a couple kids with them and they jump to conclusions."
