Playing A Little Too Close To A Jet Engine

Unfortunately we had another bad transmission again today. This one started out worse than the last one. I got no sound and a picture that looked like a confetti factory exploded. As the show progressed, the picture got better and several minutes into the episode, it got good enough to be able to tell what was going on. We pick up the... ahem... action there. During the remainder of the transmission the picture came and went, so we did our best to figure out what was going on. Here's our interpretation...

Melanie and Brady are outside, where Melanie has dished up another helping of Brady's lips for herself. She says she never thinks kissing a hot guy is a bad idea, but now Brady probably thinks she's a loose woman.

Brady says that isn't the case at all, "You do have a screw loose, though." What Brady thinks is that he shouldn't have been kissing her at all. Melanie says she doesn't mind being a stand in, "I'm used to it. You're a sweet guy but you're dying inside."

"I'm dying to GET inside," says Brady, "as long as you stay outside."

Nicole plays with a little bunny toy she had when she was a kid. This is apparently her "something blue" thing. She decides she'll put it in her bouquet. Chloe gives her something old from her mom. It's a string of pearls that belonged to her grandmother. Nicole can't believe her mother sent her a gift, "I'm going to be ten times the mother she was. What is ten times zero, anyway? "

Lucas warns Sami, "If you tell the truth something will happen."

"Not on this show," insists Sami.

Lucas says she could have gotten away with her scheme as long as she wants, because the baby doesn't look like her or EJ, "What made you want to tell the truth?"

Phillip and Stephanie are together at the Kiriakis mansion. Phillip is busy on the phone while Stephanie waits not-so-patiently. Phillip gets off the phone with Mr. Grant and turns to Stephanie but gets another call, "Madame Secretary, good to speak with you!"

Melanie follows Brady into the Java Café, "You can run, but you can't hide."

Brady isn't thrilled that the lost puppy keeps following him, "I'm not in a sharing kind of mood right now. I never should have gotten involved with..."

Melanie fills in for him, "The mystery woman."

"Yeah," says Brady, "I had to give her up. She's getting married and all."

Melanie gasps, "Are you in love with Nicole Walker?"

"Actually," says Brady, "I have a thing for Misty Circle."

Chloe gives Nicole something new – A bracelet. Nicole raves about how beautiful it is. She thanks Chloe and hugs her, then wraps it around her wrist and the cheap thing breaks. Bracelet parts dribble across the floor as Nicole turns into a basket case.

"It's not your fault," insists Chloe, "Don't worry about it. The Dollar Store has a return policy."

EJ and Stefano discuss their enemies in the rumpus room. Stefano growls, "Today Phillip Kiriakis will answer for what he did."

Brady wants to drop it. Melanie wants to pry, "EJ DiMera is pure evil."

Brady asks, "He's writing for DOOL now, is he?"

Stefano tells EJ they can't let their guard down while they are at the church. He and Stefano argue about Nicole. Stefano asks him if he has doubts about what needs to be done. EJ stares.

Phillip gets off the phone and turns to say something to Stephanie. He discovers she has left and he chases her into the foyer. He promises to stop working, "Let's just start over. You go out the door, come in, say 'hi' and we'll take it from there." The only part that appeals to Stephanie is the part about going out the door. She leaves. Phillip sighs and goes back to work.

Nicole continues to clean up the bracelet. She thinks this is an omen that things will go wrong. Chloe tells her about breaking the bulb at Christmas. "I thought it meant Lucas and I wouldn't make it. Not only did we make it but I also made it with Daniel on the side, too." Chloe asks if Nicole is freaking out because Brady came by. Nicole evades. Chloe asks, "Is this about Sami?" Nicole stares.

Lucas and Sami talk about being honest. Talking with Sami about being honest is about as frustrating as talking to the class dunce about nuclear physics. "The nuns got me thinking," says Sami.

"God will get them for that," says Lucas.

"Then there is us," she says, "You and me – I still regret I didn't tell you the truth about Will."

"What's done is done," says Lucas, "No more lies."

Sami zones out, "EJ deserves to know the truth."

"Why are you doing this," asks Lucas, "For Grace? For EJ? Or just to stick it to Nicole?"

Melanie says, "EJ may be hot... oh, he's hot all right... really hot... hot hot hot..." She stares into space and considers the possibilities and then comes back to earth, "But have you ever seen him get mad?" She thinks it's a mistake for Nicole to marry him, "I don't want EJ to come near me ever again. You know he could make you disappear and then go out to dinner. If he ever found out you had a thing for his wife... I'd think about it."

"That would require the ability to think," says Brady.

EJ tells Stefano he has no second thoughts but thinks the timing is bad. Stefano thinks they need to strike while the iron is hot, "Think about Anthony. He should be here today with us. You'll never see him smile again. You'll never see him torment us and laugh again. We can never forget him." EJ jumps on board, and he and Stefano share a hug. A guy hug. EJ agrees to support Stefano. Stefano makes a call, "It is time."

Chloe wonders why Nicole is still concerned about Sami. Nicole says she has a weird feeling about the wedding. Chloe advises, "Stop worrying about that horrible bleach blonde witch with a soul the size of a pea."

"I'm not worried about Sami," says Nicole, "That stupid cow won't bother EJ and me any more."

Lucas and Sami continue to discuss the truth. Sami thinks Nicole has been taunting her since she got back from the witless protection program, "She is in for it when EJ finds out Grace is his daughter." Lucas thinks EJ will want visitation rights, "Wait-a-minute, that's what you want! I can't believe I'm falling for the same old story again. You still have the hots for him."

Stefano introduces Masi, the shady hit man who has joined them in the rumpus room. He tells EJ he has to be in complete agreement with the plan.

Phillip is on the phone again.

Nicole and Chloe continue to discuss Sami and what Nicole may or may not have told EJ. Chloe thinks what goes around comes around, "The more you try to hurt Sami the more your chances increase of getting hurt in return."

Sami insists she has to tell the truth. Lucas thinks she still has a thing for EJ, especially with her FBI guy out of the picture, "EJ will be furious when he finds out you kept this from him."

EJ instructs Masi to communicate with the DiMeras through him, but says he should never speak directly with Stefano. Masi leaves.

Melanie rambles, "You never can see EJ coming." She also thinks Nicole can't pull a fast one on him either, "He is capable of destroying her dreams and pushing her into her grave. How's that for a downer?"

"Just being here with you is enough of a downer," says Brady.

"Nicole is playing a little too close to a jet engine," says Melanie, "When she says I do, she's signing her death warrant."

Nicole and Chloe admire Nicole's wedding dress. Nicole says she thinks what she has done to Sami is justified. She convinces herself things will be wonderful and no one will ruin it for her.

Sami says she thinks EJ will be furious when he learns the truth, but the fury will dissipate as soon as he sees Grace and falls in love with her. She puts on the rose colored glasses and decides she'll tell him today. Lucas asks, "You do know that EJ and Nicole are about to be married."

"I sure do."
