Fabulous Fiction
You'll never guess what EJ and Nicole are talking about. EJ rages and Nicole drops the bomb, "You are Sydney's real father."
Carly complains to the flight attendant about not getting phone reception. The attendant runs outside and adjusts the antenna. Carly decides to try to call Justin instead of Bo. Justin's on the other side of the table where reception is better.
Daniel has Stefano stabilized at the hospital. He orders a screening for poisons.
Sami chases Johnny around her apartment. Will comes out and announces Allie in the other room getting the laughing penguin. That doesn't go over well with Johnny, who runs into the next room to ace out his sister and get the prized penguin for himself. Will suggests he and Sami only think of fun stuff tonight and maybe watch a movie with the kids. Sami announces it's EJ's night to have Johnny and the mood changes. "Now we just have to figure out some way to get rid of Allie, too," says the perfect little mother. She wonders why EJ hasn't called since he's supposed to come over and pick up Johnny.
Back at the DiMera ranch, EJ wouldn't buy it right now if Nicole told him the sky was blue. Nicole says EJ would believe her if Stefano were there, "Sydney really and truly is your child." EJ blows his stack.
Justin looks at his phone, "Whaddya know, it's an in flight call." It doesn't dawn on him to answer it, though.
Meanwhile, it's rock and roll at 30,000 feet. Carly gets nervous and flashes back to the murder. Unfortunately, you won't get a very good view of it. Since they've played it several hundred times, the tape is getting pretty worn. The guy next to her asks if she is all right. She assures him she's as good as a murderer on the run can be.
Nicole begins to weave her tale. She says she wanted to give EJ a child more than anything but she knew she couldn't get pregnant again after the miscarriage. Just as Nicole is about to reveal the truth, her version of it anyway, Chloe interrupts and tells EJ Stefano is in the hospital. EJ orders Nicole to stay there as he rushes out.
Kate and Maggie tangle. Maggie wants Kate to get out of the hospital. Kate insists she had nothing to do with Stefano's illness. Maggie contemplates the potential lawsuit if it turns out the food at Chez Rouge made Stefano ill. Kate defends herself and reminds Maggie it's her right to stay at the hospital since she's Stefano's wife.
Maggie snaps back, "I didn't just fall off of the turnip truck Kate. I won't believe your lies. Your husband is married to a homicidal maniac." Kate insists this is due to Stefano's diabetes. Maggie shoots back, "I saw you at the restaurant. I know what you did to him."
Nicole tells Chloe EJ knows Sydney is not hers. Chloe, as usual, doesn't get it, "What are you saying."
"What part of 'Sydney is not my baby' confused you?"
"Then who's is she," asks Chloe.
"I haven't made that part up yet," says Nicole.
Justin finally picks up, but the call drops. Bo's turn. His phone rings, and it's Ciara. She says she misses Bo. Bo asks where she is. She says she's with Hope.
Carly's plane, which they're now calling The Jumping Bean, bounces around. The guy next to Carly turns to her and says, "I take this flight a lot. This turbulence is extreme. Shall we pray together?"
Carly panics, "OMG! We're going down!" She removes her sunglasses, throws them out the window and the plane, now much lighter, stabilizes.
Maggie says she saw Kate put something in Stefano's food. Kate gets huffy and leaves. She heads for Stefano's room. Daniel walks out as Kate approaches. We flash to the clock on the wall... 11:59. We watch the second hand slowly tick. Do Not Forsake Me, O My Darlin' plays... Kate and Daniel square off.
Chloe digs for info. Nicole tells her about the miscarriage, "Then I pretended I was still pregnant. I wore padding and told EJ he couldn't come close because I was fragile and hormonal. Then I found a woman who was as far along as I was and she agreed to give me her baby."
"I'm in no position to judge," says Chloe. She proceeds to judge and wonders how Nicole could think she could get away with this. Nicole points out that she did get away with it until now. She wants to go be with EJ at the hospital. Chloe advises against it and refuses to let Nicole go.
EJ rushes into the hospital. Daniel tells him Stefano is stable, but had a heart attack. He says he's ordered a toxicology report and will get back with him.
Ciara tells Bo she loves him. Bo tells her he loves her and asks her to give mommy a hug. Justin wonders who made the call.
Carly's plane slams around like a pinball. Carly prays, "Please don't let me die. I want to be with the ones I love."
The guy in the seat next to her turns into Lawrence, "But you are, DARLING... you are."
Will figures if EJ isn't answering Sami's calls Johnny can spend the night with them. Will's usually a hamburger short of a picnic, but he does have a point.
Chloe suggests Nicole just take a step back and calm down. She figures EJ won't take this well. Nicole whines, "Are you saying he will never forgive me?"
"I don't know," says Chloe, "He needs time."
"To do what," asks Nicole, "throw me out on my ass?" Out of nowhere, Nicole changes the subject and asks about Stefano. Chloe says he might die. Nicole says that means she needs to be there. Since Mary isn't at the mansion, Nicole asks Chloe to babysit as she barges out. Chloe realizes she's painted into a corner. She stares at Sydney. Sydney stares back. Chloe turns to stone as she realizes she's actually trapped with a kid.
Kate tells EJ that Stefano gorged himself into this heart attack. She also tells him the pre-nup they signed gives her nothing if they divorce, but if he dies she will be rolling in it, "I will have controlling interest in DiMera enterprises." Kate doesn't exactly keep her cards close to the vest, does she? Daniel asks Kate to come with him.
Bo figures things out, "Whoever tried to call is someone who wants to reach me." You've gotta get up pretty early in the morning to put one over on Bo Brady.
They inspect the hotel room and find blood. The hotel manager stands and barks orders, "Find the wife... Immediately! It was her. She did this. The cleaning bill will be enormous."
The plane gyrates. Lawrence grabs Carly's hand, "You killed me. Now you'll join me in death." Needless to say, Carly thinks that's the worst idea she's heard all day.
Sami comes to the DiMera door and Chloe tells her about Stefano's crisis. The panicked babysitter dumps Sydney on Sami and takes off like she's shot out of a cannon. Sami stands there with her jaw wide open and contemplates her new responsibility.
Daniel tells Kate he figured why Stefano had a heart attack. "Wow," mocks Kate, "You figured it out. He's a diabetic, his health isn't great, he sat there gorging himself and had a heart attack. You should alert the Nobel Prize committee. I didn't hurt the man."
Daniel scoffs, "That's where you're wrong Mrs. DiMera."
Nicole shows up at the hospital. EJ ain' happy. Fortunately Nicole brought the script from the DiMera mansion so they have something to say to each other. He tells her to go home, scoop up Sydney and leave forever.
Daniel says he knows Stefano covered Kate's tracks and in return she married the SOB. "Oh," sneers Kate, "That is fabulous fiction."
"No it isn't," says Daniel, "You won't find fabulous fiction on this show."
Phillip is on the phone talking about anticipating his first hot air balloon ride. Victor walks in and wonders what that's all about, "There must be a woman involved."
Melanie opens the oven. Black smoke rolls out. She pulls a pan of carbon dust out and sits it on top of the stove, fanning the smoke away. Nathan comes in and wonders if he should call the fire department.
"No need," says Melanie, "The SFD isn't equipped to put out a fire this big." She tells him it's meat loaf and claims the oven is broken.
Alas, the meatloaf is lost so Nathan suggests going out to dinner, "It doesn't have to be a date. Just two people going out to eat... unless you want it to be a date."
Sami calls Nicole and leaves a message to let her know she's taking care of Sydney.
EJ says he refuses to live with a lie. He turns to leave. Nicole grabs at him but he slaps her way and tells her to shut up. Nicole promises no more lies, "I'm going to tell you everything."
Victor asks, "Who's the balloon girl... not Stephanie I Hope. Stephanie added no joy to your life."
"Like you," says Phillip. A referee tosses a flag and give Phillip 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct. Phillip tells Victor this is someone he has known for a while, "Everything about her is unique... her looks... her smile... the way she gives it 110% to put out the best Internet porn ever..."
Victor gets it, "Good God!"
God chimes in, "I used to think I was good, but then I created Salem and everything started to fall apart."
Victor asks, "It's Melanie Layton, isn't it?"
Melanie and Nathan wonder if this should be an official date. He asks what the ideal date for her would be. Melanie contemplates, "I really don't know. No one has ever asked me that before."
Kate accuses Daniel of hitting the bottle. He says Kate looked the other way as Stefano ignored his diabetes, "You want him to die."
Stefano's machines beep away in spite of the fact that Lexie is in the room attending to him.
EJ continues to erupt, "I can't believe how foolish I was. I didn't see through you." He stomps off
Phillip tosses accusations, "You are a cynical bastard... A flaming misogynist. I could date Joan of Arc and you would think I was scraping the bottom of the barrel." Victor rants against Phillip's former girlfriends. He asks where Stephanie is now. Phillip thanks him for his support and starts to leave.
"Wait," says Victor, "If you like Melanie, maybe I shouldn't disapprove. Sell her to me."
Melanie and Nathan discuss what would be her ideal date. Nate asks, "How about Paris? Rome? Madrid?"
Melanie suggests somewhere closer to Salem, "How about a place where we can listen to music on a jukebox, play pool and dance?" They decide on the Cheatin' Heart and agree to meet in an hour. Melanie goes to the door, "Our first official date."
Nathan beams, "Yes."
Melanie scowls, "We'd better make it memorable, so let's use a hi-def camera." She giggles her way out.
Kate accuses Daniel of harassment. She insists Stefano has her best interests at heart. Daniel says he has his best interests at heart for his patients and bans her from going near Stefano. Kate threatens to fight. Daniel tells her to stay away and leaves.
Sami calls EJ and gripes about being stuck with babysitting duties.
EJ goes into Stefano's room, "Any news?"
"No news," says Lexie.
"Good," says EJ, "When you're the doctor, no news is good news."
Lexie asks where Nicole is and EJ tells her Nicole is out of his life. Translation: EJ remains delusional.
Nicole stops at the elevator. Ah... where it all started... She gives herself a pep talk, "Nicole, you're not leaving. There is something you have to do first."
Carly complains to the flight attendant about not getting phone reception. The attendant runs outside and adjusts the antenna. Carly decides to try to call Justin instead of Bo. Justin's on the other side of the table where reception is better.
Daniel has Stefano stabilized at the hospital. He orders a screening for poisons.

Phillip is on the phone talking about anticipating his first hot air balloon ride. Victor walks in and wonders what that's all about, "There must be a woman involved."

Sami announces it's EJ's night to have Johnny and the mood changes. "Now we just have to figure out some way to get rid of Allie, too," says the perfect little mother.
Maybe DOOL can SORA Ciara or Theo enough so that one of them can take Allie off Sami’s hands.
Just as Nicole is about to reveal the truth, her version of it anyway, Chloe interrupts and tells EJ Stefano is in the hospital.
Huh? Was Kate too concerned about ruining her manicure to call EJ to let him know his father was in the hospital? If Chloe was the designated messenger of doom, she should have used one the standard issue DOOL cell phones to contact EJ. If she didn’t have his number, she certainly could have contacted Nicole. Apparently, Salem is tree city and Chloe preferred taking a leisurely drive on a lovely fall day to calling EJ to let him know his father was in the ER. Geez!
We flash to the clock on the wall... 11:59. We watch the second hand slowly tick. Do Not Forsake Me, O My Darlin' plays... Kate and Daniel square off.
“High Noon” won an academy award. All DOOL can hope to win is a bottle of Hai Karate.
"I will have controlling interest in DiMera enterprises." Kate doesn't exactly keep her cards close to the vest, does she?
…and she doesn't even bother to wait until the corpse is cold. First, if Stefano dotes on EJ like he says he does, EJ would have been aware of the contents of the pre-nup, and he would have had major objections. Secondly, if EJ is really the crown prince of the DiMera empire, the pre-nup wouldn’t have guaranteed Kate a controlling interest upon Stefano’s death. Stefano is also well aware of Kate’s penchant for attempted murder and her love of power. Ain’t no way a smart guy like Stefano would give Kate an excellent reason to whip up another batch of poison brownies.
The hotel manager stands and barks orders, "Find the wife... Immediately! It was her. She did this. The cleaning bill will be enormous."
Sign this guy up with the SPD stat!
"Oh," sneers Kate, "That is fabulous fiction."
"No it isn't," says Daniel, "You won't find fabulous fiction on this show."
Well what do you know? Daniel is now Dr. Grope-A-Truth!!
Phillip and Melanie – why? Was she that good in the sack? Good gravy, Melanie just turned 18 last year. What could a mature guy with a lot of money possibly see in someone like Melanie? On the other hand, Phillip was engaged to personality devoid Steponme. Get this guy a decent love interest!
Yep, for the DOOL creative crew, reality really bites. Great Prevuze and great pictures so everyone should have a great day!

Leslie you took the words right out of my fingertips on the Melanip front!
Bulldog, you are so good at capturing the pain & angst DOOL characters (and the audience members) go through. Cracked up at the pictures of Carly's sunglasses and foam rubber padding blocking EJ's view!
Johnny...runs into the next room to ace out his sister and get the prized penguin.
I thought there were two penguins. Or is it just the case of one kid wanting what the other has at that moment? Now THERE’S some realism. LOL
She removes her sunglasses, throws them out the window and the plane, now much lighter, stabilizes.
Seeing Prevuze' picture I can understand.
Bo figures things out, "Whoever tried to call is someone who wants to reach me." You've gotta get up pretty early in the morning to put one over on Bo Brady.
Whew, for a minute there I thought things were a little too subtle for Bo to figure out.
This stopped me dead in my tracks for a minute with a big HUH?!
Victor, "If you like Melanie, maybe I shouldn't disapprove. Sell her to me."
And by HUH?! I mean, “Huh?”. I must not have had enough caffeine this morning. I had to read that 3-4 times to understand what Vic was saying ‘cause my first impression was that he wanted Philip to literally SELL Melanie to him and thought, “Eeeuuuw, that’s not right.” LOL
It's official, my day can now start. I hope it isn't as nasterly (word verification) as poor Nicole's.
I'm still chuckling over Bo figures things out, "Whoever tried to call is comeone who wants to reach me." And it's not even a Prevuism! HAHAHAHAHA
Melanie and Nathan wonder if this should be an official date. OMG, have they started a new storyline showing flashbacks from Salem JUNIOR High School? Do you suppose he "likes" likes her? Maybe they'll pass some notes on their "date".
Why would Nicole think EJ wants her there with him? Grab Sydney and get outta Dodge while you can while Do Not Forsake Me, O My Darlin' plays.
And, along with the illogic of Chloe going over to the mansion instead of just calling, why did Sami traipse over there? Apparently she hasn't paid her phone bill either.
Loved Carly's sunglasses and Nicole bringing the script along so they can just repeat it all.
Thanks, Prevuze, and happy Tuesday all.
