Don't Play A Player

Brady and Arianna steam things up. He picks her up, drops her on the chaise and gives it all he's got. Earl Snodgrass, the Kiriakis' next-door neighbor, fine tunes the settings on his telescope and zooms in on the free show.

Nathan and Stephanie sit together in the Cheatin' Heart. They decide not to talk about Melanie and Phillip, and then proceed to talk about Melanie and Phillip. Stephanie thinks maybe she should call and try to calm Melanie down, "I know Melanie. When she gets mad, she gets even."

Down at the docks, Melanie says she wants to make Phillip feel better. Phillip wonders exactly what that means, so he consults the Guy Manual, "If you don't cash in on this, you've got rocks in your artificial brain."

Bo and Hope run through the woods screaming for Ciara.

Mr. Sucker has Ciara tucked away in his dingy cabin. She tells him she wants to go home, "I want my mommy and daddy."

Mr. S tries to calm her down, "Don't be scared. You have me."

Brady helps himself to Arianna's wares but just as DOOL is about to earn its X-rating, Daniel walks in and spoils the fun.

Bo and Hope. Panic. The cops show up and Bo gives them instructions, "Find Ciara." It took everything he had to come up with that.

Mr. S hears sirens and tells Ciara they are good friends and asks her to be quiet. Being Hope's daughter this is quite a challenge, so he threatens her with never seeing her parents again if she doesn't zip it.

Brady and Arianna come up for air, straighten themselves up and Brady makes the intros. Arianna leaves. Brady lectures Daniel, "You of all people should know not to interrupt a guy when he's in the middle of a good grope." Daniel says he wants Brady's help saving Chloe.

Chloe's machines beep and chirp. A nurse says, "We're losing her."

Another nurse asks, "Any way we can speed up the process?"

Nathan tells Stephanie no one owes Melanie an apology. Nathan contends they are nothing more than friends and he will smooth things over with her. Stephanie worries that Melanie thinks Nathan invited her on a date while he was on a date with Melanie. This circular convoluted logic spirals into a bottomless abyss.

Melanie thinks Phillip is torn up inside and insists she can help him. She asks if he still loves Stephanie and wants to be with her. Introspective Phillip starts to leave but comes back and says he knows she really wants what's best for him. He leaves and Melanie stares.

Mr. Sucker is relieved the sirens have stopped, "We're alone. Finally. Now there is just one more thing you have to do."

Bo, Hope and Justin are back at the cop shop. Bo barks instructions from his office. The cops leave and the Three Stooges make plans. Bo wonders how Ciara got the bear back. He gives Hope an accusing glance, "Did you give it to her?"

Daniel insists he had nothing to do with what happened to Chloe. He says he's locked out of the hospital and needs help. Brady agrees as Victor comes on the scene. Victor says he wants Brady to help Daniel however he can. Phillip walks in as they strategize.

Nathan says, "When she say us together, Melanie got the wrong idea in her little head."

"It may be little," says Stephanie, "but it fits her brain."

Nathan insists Melanie won't be mad very long. He says he doesn't want Stephanie to get hold of Melanie and swears he will take care of things. He wants Stephanie to enjoy the beautiful night with him.

Hope says she didn't give Ciara the bear. She wonders what Bo is insinuating. "It's just that there are more questions than answers," says Bo.

"You couldn't find an answer with a flashlight and a GPS," says Hope.

"The important thing," says Bo, "is to get Ciara back."

"Congratulations for figuring that out, Sherlock."

A cop comes in and tells them the search team came up with nothing. Not surprising, since it was an SPD search team.

Mr. Sucker ties Ciara up and says they're just playing a fun little game.

Justin tries to be upbeat as a cop rushes in with test results.

Nathan and Stephanie walk through the park as the carnival is in full swing. He worries about living up to the legend of Tom Horton. Stephanie just wants to talk to him instead of going to the carnival, "What fun is a carnival when I can listen to a guy obsess over his long-dead great-grandfather."

Phillip asks Victor for a word alone. Victor agrees, so Phillip goes off to a corner and talks to himself.

Daniel tells Brady he has to get to Chloe, "So how the hell do we get in there?"

Brady says, "There's gotta be a way."

"I know," says Daniel, "We can use Will."

"Why him," asks Brady, "He's just a kid."

"I know," says Daniel, "But you know what they say... Where there's a Will, there's a way."


Arianna arrives back at the pub. She gets a small scale out, but a knock at the door stops her illicit activity. She puts the contraband away and opens the door to find Melanie, who claims she has just stopped by to say hi. Well, that and whine about Nathan and Stephanie. Arianna tells her this isn't the time, "I have work to do."

Melanie doesn't buy it, "Don't play a player. What's really going on?"

Phillip wonders what murderous Daniel is doing at the Kiriakis mansion. Victor says he's family and belongs there. Phillip thinks Victor is shutting him out and wants to know what's going on with the family. Victor wants to talk later. Phillip wants to talk now. Victor hands him a note, "Here's something I want you to do."

Phillip grumbles, "More dirty work."

Victor explodes, "Stop whining."

"I'm not whining," says Phillip, "I am quitting... for good." Translation: The odds the sun will go supernova today, destroying itself, the earth and the entire solar system are less than one to the -900 quintillionth power, which is fourteen quadrillion times greater than the odds that Phillip has quit for good. For the non-mathematicians in the group, this means, to speak in technical terms of course, ain' gonna happen.

Bonnie and Clyde walk into the shack where Mr. Sucker has Ciara tied up. Mr. Sucker asks, "Is it happening?

"As we speak," says Bonnie.

Bo holds a ransom note, which must have dropped out of the sky. He gives Hope the bad news, "Five million dollars."

Prevuze

Bo barks more orders as Hope frets and falls apart. Bo tells Hope and Justin the kidnappers will contact them within the hour. Hope bawls, "How can we get that kind of money in the middle of the night."

"You could huckster more jewelry on QVC," says Bo. Hope figures the kidnappers took Ciara because of the newspaper clipping which spilled the beans about her big donation.

Arianna asks Melanie to let things go for now. Melanie agrees and starts to leave. As she goes, Arianna softens, "I know something s bugging you and I want to (say it with her) be there for you." Melanie heads for the carnival.

Arianna goes back to the bar. She gets the scale and drugs back out and goes back to work as a part-time chemist right there out in the open where any passer-by can get an eyeful.

Brady has an idea but says he won't know if things work out until morning. Daniel blows his stack, but Brady tells him this is all they have. Daniel leaves. Brady stares.

Phillip quits again as Victor bounces off the walls. Phillip screams, "These past few weeks I've (say it with him) been there for you and given everything to this family."

"And now you've given up," squawks Victor.

"Carlo's death meant nothing to you," says Phillip, "I can't be as cold as you want me to be. I have some morals."

"Now you sound like Stephanie," says Victor, "complete with the squeaky whining. I'm sure she's lectured you many times on morality."

"This isn't about Stephanie," says Phillip, "It's about you and me and how I will never be the son you want me to be. He storms out. Victor stares.

Hope decides this is all her fault. She wonders if Bo isn't thinking she gave Ciara the bear back even though she's said she didn't. Bo insists he isn't accusing her.

Bonnie says she doesn't want to be left alone with the kid. Clyde tells her he has things to do. We pan in on blindfolded Ciara.

Arianna puts the concoction in her purse and leaves. As she opens the door she finds Brady.

Daniel sits in the Cheatin' Heart, drinks and moans, "It's out of my hands right now. She needs me. If I could just get to her... See her... Cop a feel... Save her.

Chloe comes up behind him and gives him her moronic smile, "Don't worry Daniel, you will save me." Suddenly the apparition is gone and Daniel sits alone. A woman sitting next to him at the bar gives him the once-over.

Phillip makes a call, "I need to talk to you. I just did something that could change everything. Call me."

Phillip hangs up and looks into the park. He sees Nathan and Stephanie frolicking like nymphs and feeding each other carnival goodies supersaturated with sugar. Phillip loses it and runs up to Nathan screaming, "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?"

RUMBLE!!!

Hope insists she didn't give Ciara the bear. A cop comes up with test results and says Ciara's DNA was on the toy. Hope collapses in frustration.

Mr. Sucker takes off tiara's blindfold. Ciara cries, "I want my mommy."

Nasty ole bonnie offers no comfort, "Shut up. We all want things we can't have."

Out in the audience, Mable turns to Gertie, "She's right about that. I want good drama."

The gal next to Daniel puts the moves on him. Daniel gets up and leaves. Outside, he wails, "Chloe, don't leave me. Please."

Brady apologizes for the little interruption they experienced during their extracurricular activities. He says he put in a couple calls for Daniel and won't hear back until morning, so if she doesn't hear from him that's why. He moves in for a little more extracurricularation, but stops suddenly. He walks over to the bar, stoops and picks up a dime bag.

Stephanie pulls Phillip off. She separates the guys and tells Phillip this is none of his business. Phillip tries to tell her something happened that will change the world, but Stephanie isn't interested. She tells him to leave. Phillip stands his ground so Stephanie and Nathan leave. Phillip sits on the ubiquitous park bench as Melanie walks up. They stare at each other.

Daniel wanders at the pier. Chloe finds him, "I know you're doing a lot for me and I know you care. I can feel it."

Daniel moves in, "Speaking of feeling..."

"You will always be in my heart," says Chloe Daniel kisses her.

Suddenly, Daniel pops back to reality and stumbles around the pier, "I will save you Chloe. Somehow. Until then you have to hold on."

Chloe's machines beep and chirp. A nurse gasps, "I think she is rallying."

Innocent little Arianna asks, "What is that?"

"Cocaine," says Brady.

"How do you know," asks Arianna.

I figured it out after a couple of snorts," says Brady.


Melanie notices Phillip's busted face, one of them anyway, and asks what happened. He tells her things have become clear for him. He moves in on her and kisses her.

Justin comes back to the mansion and tells Victor Ciara has been kidnapped.

Bonnie makes a call as Ciara watches.

Bo barks more instructions to the group of cops assembled in front of him. Clyde joins the pack.

What is the proper term for this – Phillanie? Whatever it is – just spare me!

Mr. Sucker has Ciara tucked away in his dingy cabin.

Didn’t we just go through this with Stephanie and Owen? The only difference being that Mr. Sucker is enamored with money, and, for reasons I can’t begin to fathom, Owen was obsessed with Stephanie.

"Find Ciara." It took everything he had to come up with that.

Prevuze, it’s called minimalist writing because it takes a minimum of talent and imagination to create such scintillating drivel.

Chloe's machines beep and chirp. A nurse says, "We're losing her."

Another nurse asks, "Any way we can speed up the process?"

That sounds like an excellent way to get this storyline moving.

Victor says he wants Brady to help Daniel however he can. Phillip walks in as they strategize.

Since the Three Stooges is already taken, I’ll go with Huey, Dewey, and Louie for this brain trust. Of course, Rafe is Winkin, Blinkin, and Nod all rolled into one.

"I know," says Daniel, "We can use Will."

"Why him," asks Brady, "He's just a kid."

"I know," says Daniel, "But you know what they say... Where there's a Will, there's a way."

Groan! Thank goodness I located my yellow flag because Prevuze gets a personal foul for that one!!!

Hope bawls, "How can we get that kind of money in the middle of the night."

"You could huckster more jewelry on QVC," says Bo.

OK, Prevuze, you have officially redeemed yourself. LOL!!!

Bo barks more instructions to the group of cops assembled in front of him. Clyde joins the pack.

Oh the drama! ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ – good heavens, it’s going to take NoDoz to get through this one. On the other hand, just a click of a zapper button will make it all go away. Prevuze, thanks for taking one for the team! TGIF and TGFP!!! Have a great weekend everyone!!

Oh, right. I get a yellow flag for "Where there's a Will there's a way," but Berg gets off unscathed after that one.

Where is the justice?

Hey Prevuze.
If this is a kidnapping with a ransom note shouldn't the F.B.I. be involved? I mean "IF" they were trying to make it seem more realistic. WAITWAITWAIT!!! WHAT WAS I THINKING THIS IS DAYS. Never mind. Glad I will not waste my time on this one. Thanks for the warning.c.

OK, Prevuze, you do make a very good point. Berg's comment was pretty unbearable so I think Berg deserves a penalty for unbearmanlike conduct. Berg, go to your corner and stay there until we get our $5,000,000 from Hope.

well now this could be exciting, the old going after the new. Innocent little Arianna asks, "What is that?"

"Cocaine," says Brady.

"How do you know," asks Arianna.

I figured it out after a couple of snorts," says Brady.

Hmmm... someone's awfully close to the edge here. I'm wondering if there are two seats in that corner. At least it will be a short penalty. I'm sure Hope can raise $5,000,000 in chump change pimping her jewelry on shopping channels in no time.

I don't intend to buy any of it, mind you, but I will (say it with me) be there for her.

I prefer Melanip. Either way, I'm with Leslie - spare me!

I love Hope's question "How can we get that kind of money in the middle of the night?" Not "How can we get that kind of money?" period, like anyone other than Victor or Stefano would ask. Which tells me they HAVE the money, just not access to the bank at night. After all, if she can whip out a donation to charity for half a mill they must have it stockpiled someplace. QVC must be quite lucrative. HAHAHAHA

I wonder, are they holding Ciara in the same cabin where Hope was held captive that time (can't think of that guy's name right now) and also the one with the Luclueless memorial beam? They gotta get their money's worth on scenery, you know.

And I still don't get it, please explain to me why it will be so hard for Brady Brady to get in to see Chloe but Kate - another person of interest - is in there constantly?

Loved the QVC Prevuism and the Arianna pic! You got us to Friday, Prevuze. (And let's not forget to give a nod of thanks to the satellite Gods for the miracle cure earlier in the week. ) Have a happy weekend all! :D

Leslie, very good point, however both you and I sitting in our little penalty corner - may be here forever if it comes down to Hope raising money using her line of Jewllery. Thank god the penalty wasn't being forced to watch DOOL until Hope could raise the money - I believe that is in the Geneva Convention for Cruel and Unusual punishment. I just couldn't bear it!

Talk about unbearable...I was traveling today and didn't get to Prevuze until 10:00 p.m.

Great pictures (a special shout-out to the Victor/Kate pic). Snarky Prevuisms. Well-crafted comments.

At this point I just have one thing to add. I expected the ransom note to say, "If you want to see your little girl again, DO NOT contact the police." LOLOL

A cop comes up with test results and says Ciara's DNA was on the toy.

They got DNA results in how long? Half an hour?

And how did they get enough material for a sample? Did Ciara spit on it?
