One Hell Of A Jam

Abe and Bo stand in the cop shop and, between donuts, discuss the evidence against Daniel. Bo thinks he's innocent. Abe tells him he has to arrest Daniel anyway. Bo growls, "I care about finding out who poisoned Chloe. And it sure as hell wasn't the doc."

Abe says, "Careful, Bo. If you claim a guy is innocent, that's nearly enough evidence to send him to the electric chair."

Hope has Daniel on the rack. The gibbet awaits. She says she thinks if Daniel's theory is right, Kate has had a real streak of luck, "And tell me this, how did Kate get hold of leukocystine?"

"I think he was a former client," says Daniel. He begs her to protect Chloe.

Hope insists Chloe is safe, "If anything should happen to Chloe now it proves you didn't do it, and Kate's house of cards falls apart."

"So you believe me," asks Daniel.

"I didn't say that," says Hope.

"Watch her," says Daniel, "You watch Kate very carefully. I certainly do. All the time. I'd do a lot more but she won't let me grope her any more."

Victor and Kate argue. Victor says he won't have Kate framing his godson. Loserclueless runs up and interrupts, "What's going on?"

Victor smirks at Kate, "Will you tell him or should I?"

Kate hugs Lucas, "It's Chloe... she's in that room." Lucas runs into Chloe's room.

Victor chuckles, "You're going to have a hell of a time figuring out how to get out of this one."

Lucas finds Lexie inside Chloe's room, "Is she going to be all right?"

"We don't know."

"What the hell happened to her," he asks.

Rafe wonders why Sami is lying to him. Sami gets all indignant, but realizes she's busted, "It's none of your business."

"Were you snooping around in my past," asks Rafe, "That would be my business."

"I know how to end this argument," says Sami, "Just tell me about your past!" They argue about Rafe's past. OMG! Contrary to what we've learned on this show, apparently the past isn't in the past. "I've told you about my past," says Sami, "Well, the tip of the iceberg, anyway. Please, trust me!"

Rafe asks, "And if I don't tell?"

"Then we can't move forward," says Sami, "Come on! Just tell me what happened. All of it."

Lucas comes out of Chloe's room, "She is in a coma!"

"What tipped you off," asks Kate.

"She wasn't whining."

"Someone poisoned her," says Kate.

"How did it happen," asks Lucas.

"Tainted brownies," says Kate.

Lucas grits his teeth, "THOSE LITTLE SLUTS!"

Phillip comes up and says he just heard on the news Daniel did this. Lucas pops a cork. Victor chimes in, "Let's not get ahead of ourselves. My feeling is Daniel Will be exonerated. In fact, I'm certain of it."

Abe calls Lexie and asks about Chloe. Lexie says, "Her coma is deeper."

"Deeper," asks Abe.

"She's gone from unconscious to uber-unconscious." As Lexie hangs up she says, "I have to go give Lucas the gory details."

Bo finds out Lucas is back and decides he needs to question him.

As Lucas goes back in with Chloe he tells Kate and Victor to stay away. Phillip follows and tells Lucas he'll keep them at a distance.

Kate tells Victor Lucas would never believe she was involved in Chloe's poisoning. Victor scoffs, "The way he reacted he'd believe anything I said about you."

Phillip comes out, "Why would Daniel have done this?"

Lucas sits at Chloe's bedside and vows never to leave her again. I guess he'll throw himself on her funeral pyre.

Lexie comes in and drops the bad news on him, "Lucas, I have to tell you, Chloe might never wake up."

"But," whines Lucas, "I can't lose her."

"I can recommend a good taxidermist," says Lexie.

Bo goes into the interrogation room and says Chloe is slipping further into a coma. He has Hope come out as Daniel buries his face in his hands.

Victor taunts Kate, "I think you're in one hell of a jam." Kate thinks it will be OK once Daniel is convicted. Victor vows not to let that happen, "Maybe I'll tell Bo you confided in me."

"You'd be lying."

Victor nearly chokes to death chuckling, "You poison someone and I'm not supposed to lie? I want Daniel free."

Kate asks, "Why should he go free after what he did to my son?"

Victor continues to find amusement in the situation, "Isn't it ironic for you to be outraged about infidelity?" Phillip joins them and wonders what the bickering is about. Victor tells him they are arguing about Daniel. Phillip sort of sides with Daniel until Kate drops the bomb about Daniel's affair with Chloe.

Bo brings Daniel coffee and tells him this is off the record. He says only Daniel's prints were on the bottle. Daniel mocks, "Oh, yeah, super criminal that I am I got the bottle and wiped the pharmacists prints off but not mine. I guess if you really thought I did it, though, I'd be under arrest. You and Hope are listening to me very carefully, aren't you?"

Lexie tells Lucas, "I wish I had better news."

"I wish Chloe had a better doctor," says Lucas. Lexie leaves. Lucas pours his heart out, "This isn't how the story ends." The audience groans. "You're going to get better," says Lucas, "I swear to God you are."

Bo says he is preparing a lineup for the pharmacist and Victor is sending a lawyer. "So you do believe me," asks Daniel.

"That and a buck will get you a bus ride," says Sam Spade Brady.

Lucas buries his face. Chloe twitches.

Phillip asks if Lucas knows about the affair. Kate says no and she won't tell him tonight, "He's been through enough."

Phillip turns to go back into Chloe's room and mumbles, "I thought my life was a mess."

Victor gets back on Kate's case, "Your concern is touching... And a little bit scary."

Hope comes in. Victor sees her and says, "Hope, I have something to tell you." Kate squirms.

"So," asks Rafe, "This is an ultimatum?"

"No," says Sami, "This isn't an ultimatum. I'm asking."

"Well, then," says Rafe, "I'm saying no."

Desperate times call for desperate measures, so Sami decides to tell him everything about her past, "and then it's your turn."

"I get it," says Rafe, "Kind of like 'you show me yours and I'll show you mine.'"

Victor tells Hope Daniel had nothing to do with poisoning Chloe. Hope tells him he can be a character witness, "But I'm here for concrete evidence. I want to talk to Lucas."

"If it's concrete you want," says Victor, "Look inside his head."

Kate begs Hope to leave Lucas alone, "He's fragile right now." Victor drags Kate out for air.

As they go, Hope muses, "Hmmm... Kate doesn't want me to talk to Lucas and Victor doesn't want me to talk to Kate..."

Sami goes through her history. We shift from scene to scene as we hear about her changing the paternity test results when Marlena had Belle... Alan raping her... her shooting Alan, "I shot him in the worst place for a man. He'll never rape another woman..." Franco's death... Being on death row... and the classic soap opera switcheroo of all time, STAN!

Sami wraps things up by telling Rafe about divorcing Lucas and marrying EJ, "And now that's over and I'm with you."

Rafe sits stunned and open jawed like a guy that just got hit by a freight train. "That's my life in a nutshell," says Sami.

"Nutshell," gasps Rafe, "It belongs in a nut-HOUSE."

"And now it's your turn," says Sami. Rafe now realizes whatever piddling little problem he has with Emily isn't even a drop in a bucket.

Outside the hospital, Victor tells Kate he's trying to protect her. He says he doesn't care what she did to Chloe but won't let her pin it on Daniel, "You've dodged a bullet but you're not out of the woods. Hmmm... I think I just mixed a metaphor."

Hope comes into Chloe's room to see Lucas, "I need to tell you I'm here professionally." She drops the bomb that Lucas might be a suspect.

Rafe is stunned out of his socks, but not impressed, "As enlightening as that was I don't know that it changed anything. You chose to tell me all that."

Sami throws a fit, "I want to know who you are!"

"You do know me," says Rafe.

Sami stomps her foot, "I don't! How many brothers and sisters do you have? This is like living with a total stranger!"

Hope asks about any trouble there might have been between Lucas and Chloe. Lucas tells her they hadn't been married long enough to have problems. Hope tells him this is just standard procedure, "Were you ever at Daniel's apartment?" Lucas tells her he was and Hope says they found evidence there. Lucas says they found a scarf there and Hope ends the interrogation. Lucas says, "You find who did this and make them pay."

Hope goes back out and tells Kate she didn't say anything about the affair, "We both know you'd do anything for Lucas." Hope leaves and Phillip comes up. He senses something is wrong. "I need to ask you to do something and it won't be easy," says Kate.

Abe tells Bo the pharmacist couldn't ID anyone at the lineup, but the DA is ready to press charges, "Book Jonas."

The cops bring Daniel into the room. Danny boy is just ecstatic because the pharmacist couldn't identify him, "Can I go home now? Huh? Can I go home?"

Bo bursts his balloon, "Dr. Daniel Jonas you are under arrest for attempted murder." They haul Daniel off as he screams he didn't do it and once again the SPD has kept its perfect record intact by arresting the wrong guy.

"We just made a big mistake," says Bo, "Daniel is in jail and Luke O. Sistine roams the streets of Salem free to commit more crimes."

Bo and Hope go into the interrogation room and discuss the case. Bo tells her he booked Daniel. Victor comes in as Hope leaves. Bo tells him the DA insisted they book Daniel. "This place is so soul deadening," says Victor. Bo says he has something to ask.

Phillip says, "Dear God!"

"He can't hear it from his mother," says Kate.

Loserclueless picks this appropriate moment to walk up to them, "Hear what?"

Phillip tries to spill the beans, "It's about Chloe... She... She..."

Phillip just can't find the words. Kate spits it out, "She betrayed you!"

Rafe says he doesn't like being manipulated. Sami wants the truth. Rafe finally breaks down. He says there was a car crash on the day he and Emily were to be married, "I was driving too fast and I wrapped the car around a tree. I killed her. Don't make excuses for me. I loved her. Now her family hates me and I can't blame them. Now you know. Are you happy?" Rafe leaves. Blithering Sami calls for him.

Victor tells Bo he has no idea who did this.

Phillip mops up after Kate's revelation, "Chloe had an affair with Daniel."

Lucas gasps, "Are you serious? OMG! You're serious, aren't you?" Lucas staggers off. He goes into Chloe's room and stares at her, "How could you?"

Daniel leaves his things at the desk. We roll through scenes of fingerprinting and mug shots. They walk Daniel down that last long mile and escort him into his cell.

SLAM!
