Mr. Quigley Had Another Accident

Stephanie wanders around the hospital waiting area as she talks on her cell phone planning a trip to Greece. She hangs up and goes into Phillip's room. Phillip grumbles and growls. "Awwww," says Stephanie, "Do we have a case of the Monday's?" She smooches him and all is well.

EJ carries Nicole into the bedroom and flops her onto the bed. Munching ensues. EJ grabs body parts and whispers, "I love you so much." He backs off and looks her in the eyes...

SAMI!

EJ zones. Nicole asks if he is OK. He insists he is and goes back to work. She stops him and says if something is bothering her he can tell her.

Sami and Rafe continue to argue. Rafe decides he has to go. Sami spews and as her eruption subsides she tells him to leave. I think that's what he was doing in the first place.

EJ moves in. Nicole pushes him away and presses the issue, "I want to know what's bothering you."

EJ tells her those words every woman wants to hear in bed, "It's none of your business."

Sami orders Rafe to stop as he puts on his jacket. He asks what she would have done if EJ had left Nicole at the church and told Sami she is the one he loves.

Max tells Arianna she can take off early if she wants. As she starts to leave he asks if Chelsea has come back. "I haven't seen her," says Arianna.

Chelsea works on a computer in the hospital. She finds med school applications and snoops as Melanie watches, "Naughty Chelsea! You are so busted!"

EJ asks if Nicole wants them to be one of those pathetic couples joined at the hip, "I think you're just itching for an argument."

"No," says Nicole, "I think Mary forgot to put fabric softener in when she washed the sheets and they're giving me a rash." EJ's phone rings. He takes the call and Nicole leaves to check on Sydney.

Masi asks EJ where his father is. EJ says Masi reports to him now. "The job your father hired me to do is about to be finished," says Masi.

Sami gets sarcastic and says she would have jumped at that chance if EJ had dumped Nicole at the wedding. Rafe says the whole reason EJ thinks Sami's in love with him is because she interrupted the wedding. He thinks EJ wouldn't have come over if he weren't interested in her. Sami claims she isn't in love with EJ. She wants to pick up where she left off with Rafe. Sami moves in.

Melanie strolls up to Dr. Baker, "Hey, Dr. B, Whazzup?"

Baker looks over the top of his glasses, "Uh... Mandy... right?"

She corrects him, "It's Melanie."

"Melanie," he barks, "Could you do me a favor and make sure the floor in room 202 is cleaned up? Mr. Quigley had another accident."

Melanie mouths, "Lovely." Baker turns to leave. Melanie stops him, "Uh... before you leave, I thought you should know I saw a trainee doing something unethical and think I should report it."

"What was she doing," asks Baker.

"She was helping a patient."

"In this hospital," says Dr. Baker, "That's grounds for immediate termination."

Nicole wanders downstairs holding Sydney telling her she is a DiMera and no one can take her away from Nicole, "Miss Sydney DiMera... no, Mistress Sydney DiMera... it has such a nice ring to it. Someday you'll be attending a cotillion on the isle of a handsome suitor. You're going to have it all." Mary interrupts. "I thought you had the night off," says Nicole.

"I did," says the maid, "But..." GET THIS, VIEWERS... "my fishing charter got canceled. So there will be no walleyed pike tomorrow for breakfast."

Nicole says, "Well that's the way it goes sometimes. We may not have pike for breakfast, but EJ will be there and he's been a piker in the lovemaking department recently." Sydney gets fussy and Mary takes her off for a bottle and some adult company.

EJ and Masi fight a bad phone connection as EJ orders, "You listen to me. Whatever you have planned... stop it!" The signal goes. The connection breaks.

Masi hangs up, "This time the job will be completed!"

Nicole comes back into the bedroom. EJ pulls her over and goes back to work.

Phillip says he thinks something is up. Stephanie is coy. She hands Phillip the morning paper and he opens it and sees the front-page story about EJ and Nicole's wedding. His artificial circulatory system has an artificial stroke. He wads the paper up and tells Stephanie he has to get back to work.

Baker walks up to Chelsea and asks what she's doing on the computer. Melanie watches and dials Max. She blabs about Baker grilling Chelsea, "I think she ruined your chances for Salem med school."

Stephanie lectures Phillip for going back into revenge mode. Phillip reminds her the DiMeras ordered a hit on him. Stephanie wants him to get away from the pointless feuding, "And I have a way for you to do that. I want you to run away with me."

EJ's cell phone once again interrupts the 'proceedings.' He tells the guy he will check it out. Nicole asks if he has to do that right now. "It's kind of important," says EJ. Nicole shows him more important things to do.

Sami and Rafe are doing important things too. Rafe backs off and tells her he refuses to be a rebound guy. Sami insists those were EJ's words. Rafe says he thinks she likes the attention from EJ and also likes making him jealous. Womanchild says, "If you seriously think that, then I guess we do have a really big problem."

Chelsea apologizes for snooping in the computer as Max walks up. Baker wants to know what's so interesting about the med school admissions. Chelsea tells him about Max' application. She begs Baker not to tell her boss. Baker says he will let it slide this time. He walks away and Max comes up and asks what that was all about. Chelsea bobs and weaves. She asks what Max is doing there and then realizes Melanie must have tipped him off, "OMG! Did your sister call you?"

Phillip says he can't run away with Stephanie. Stephanie insists they both need the downtime, "We can start a new life in Greece. Doesn't that sound great?"

"And never come back?"

"If that's what it takes to protect you," says Stephanie.

Melanie wheels a cart up to the door outside Phillip's room. The guard Stephanie in front of her and she sticks her ID card in front of his face, "I know I'm way too pretty for this job. but..." The guard lets her pass. She rolls the cart into Phillip's room, "Time for some goulash!"

"On this show," says Phillip, "I expected re-hash instead."

Conveniently, Stephanie gets a call and leaves. Melanie serves. Phillip isn't sure he should eat anything she's been near. "Don't worry," Melanie assures him, "I only have a mild case of the swine flu."

Prevuze observers report that in Salem, the SWINE FLU isn't as big a problem as the WHINE FLU.

Melanie tells Phillip she is really sorry. If she had known the DiMeras would plug Phillip she never would have messed with them.

The festivities at the DiMera mansion are over. Nicole broods. EJ zones, apparently suffering from post homicidal triste. Nicole wants a clue as to what EJ and Stefano are up to. EJ reminds her, "You knew what you were getting into."

"Yeah," says Nicole, "An elevator."

EJ says Nicole has to accept being left in the dark or the marriage will fail. Nicole pouts.

Max and Chelsea arrive at the pub. She worries that Max is disappointed in her. Max insists he's not upset she looked at the application, he's upset she felt she had to. He says he's not going anywhere. Chelsea protests. He shuts her up with a kiss.

Nicole says she thinks that sounded like an ultimatum.

BINGO!

EJ reminds her she gives ultimatums too. He gets up an goes for more champagne and to check his email.

Left alone, Nicole says, "Something is distracting you EJ, and it's not just your business." She flashes back to seeing the envelope addressed to Sami, "That has to be it! You're out of envelopes! " Nicole vows no one will ever take Sydney from her.

Speaking of things that won't happen, Rafe starts to go. He tells Sami he lost the job in New York when he didn't show up and doesn't know what he will do. Will walks in as Rafe walks out. In other words, if this thing had gone a different direction Will would be getting a real eyeful right about now.

Will asks, "Mom, what just happened?"

Chelsea's phone rings. She looks at the caller ID, "It's a strange number."

"That's all right," says Max, "They're calling a strange person."

Chelsea answers and spews a chain of "Oh no's" and "OMG's," and then hangs up, "My mom was in an accident."

Max gasps, "My God."

Chelsea says, "No. My mom."

Nicole makes a call. Baker picks up. "I have something to say," says Nicole, "and you need to listen.

EJ talks to Stefano's painting, "Our friend will not be making any moves."

Masi moves.

Melanie says she was worried about Phillip, " I know we're supposed to hate each other but I think it's really messed up what the DiMeras did to you."

"Not everyone shares that sentiment," says Phillip.

Melanie says, "I have been on the wrong side of the DiMeras and would like to see them fry."

Stephanie hesitates outside Phillip's room. She tears up the brochure.

Masi is on the phone making plans, "Go to the pier. Next to the steps, there is a crate. Under the crate, there is an envelope. By now it's probably stuck to the concrete from lying in a pool of Tony's blood. Find the envelope, open it and do exactly as it says."

We pan in on a crate at the dock, and then pan down to an envelope beneath it. Slowly, gloved hands reach down, pick up the envelope, open it and remove the contents. THE GLOVE IS BACK! EJ IS HIS OWN FLUNKY!

Melanie decides she has to get back to work and wishes Phillip good luck. Stephanie comes back in as Melanie goes. She tells Phillip she's OK with not going to Greece and climbs into bed with him.

Melanie pushes her cart and stops by the waste basket where she just happens to find Stephanie's torn up brochure.

Will asks Sami why Rafe was there, "Are you guys getting back together?"

"I don't know."

Rafe walks outside. He curses Sami and tosses his brand new iPhone into the lake. Arianna walks up behind him, "Raphael Hernandez. You get over here right now."

Rafe turns, "Arianna..."

Arianna says, "I never thought I would see you again." Big hug.

Baker is on the phone with Nicole, "I delivered Sami's baby and that's it. Sami is not my problem." Nicole asks him to resign and leave town. Baker hangs up.

EJ checks his computer, "Well, looks like my instincts about Baker were right... More than a few skeletons in your closet, I see."
