Your Baloney Has A First Name — It's B-R-A-D-Y

Chloe meets Nicole at the Java Café. They talk about Carly. Nicole says, "I thought you were going to put her on notice."

"I did," says Chloe, "Then she got back at me good."

Hope is in the Kiriakis mansion den. She flashes back to the time she ran up to her door and looked in to see Carly and Bo kissing.

As she comes out of her flashback, Hope hears Carly in the foyer talking to Henderson. She goes out as Carly says, "I want to get out of here before the ax falls."

"The ax being me," says Hope. So, I didn't even know how seriously ill Kimberly is. How did things get this bad?"

Sami is in great form. She hisses, "Answer the question, Stefano!" Stefano ignores that and says Elvis has something to say to her.

Brady and Arianna are in bed. "That's the most fun I've ever had without laughing," says Brady.

"I'm sorry I laughed," says Arianna. Brady wants her to stay the night. Arianna makes excuses and says she can't, but Brady tries to convince her.

Chloe tells Nicole about the Carly move-in caper. Nicole gasps, "Are you kidding? That woman can handle the Notre Dame offensive line."

"Recently," says Chloe, "Mrs. Murphy's Nursery School can handle the Notre Dame offensive line."

Nicole asks, "What if she decides she wants Daniel? You need to have a plan."

Carly says she knows Bo called Hope and she didn't return his messages. Princess Hope doesn't want Carly speaking to her like that. "Someone needs to," says Carly, "It might as well be me."

Sami wants to know what's going on. EJ says it's just something between him and his father. Sami blows her stack, "Did you hear the latest..." She turns her wrath on Stefano, "Now my son wants to move into the House of Frankenstein with you and Frau Blucher." Sami says she never trusts Kate's instincts when it comes to things like that.

Stefano chuckles, "House of Frankenstein... I like that. Actually the person you can't trust is my son."

Sami turns to EJ, "What is he talking about?"

Justin finds Adrienne working at the Cheatin' Heart. In today's episode, the part of Bonnie the bar wench will be played by Adrienne. Or is it the other way around? He tosses an envelope at her. Adrienne asks, "What the hell is this?"

Chloe says, "I don't think Carly is after Daniel but she acts like she has a claim on him. I did sort of twist what Carly said when I was talking to Melanie."

"Atta girl," says Nicole, "You need to face this head on and fight back."

Hope and Carly have moved the smackdown into the den. They throw a few wisecracks back and forth. Carly squeals, "Gosh, you drive me nuts!"

Hope snorts, "Do I? Good!"

Carly says, "I wouldn't be too happy about it. I tend to skewer people when I go nutty." She says Bo misses Ciara.

Hope gasps, "And why would that be? Maybe because I don't want my daughter in the presence of a murderer?"

Carly asks, "Isn't it enough that you threw your marriage away?"

"I did not," says Hope, "In fact, you should thank me. If Bo and I weren't separated you wouldn't have had a shot at him." It wouldn't have mattered. Carly misses everything she shoots at anyway.

"I agree," says Carly, "When Bo realized you were over he chose to be with me. Maybe you need to learn to live with that."

Stefano is in a good mood. He asks Sami, "Do you like popcorn?" Sami wonders if he's gone off his rocker. Stefano says he has a short film he wants her to see. Sami asks EJ if he knows what's on it. EJ flashes back to Anna's performance and stares.

Justin says the document in the envelope is from Adrienne's real estate agent. Apparently she's selling the Cheatin' Heart, "I think the new manager is dipping into things."

"Things," asks Justin.

"Yes," says Adrienne, "The till... the new waitress..." Justin suggests maybe she should stick around and run it herself.

Adrienne asks, "Are you asking me to stick around?"

Chloe wonders why Nicole came back to Salem. Nicole says it is because she likes it there.

"Baloney," says Chloe, "And... Your baloney has a first name, it's B-R-A-D-Y.

Arianna says people think the only way she can hold on to Brady is if she runs him in front of a priest, "I saw the way Nicole looked at you. My dad used to have that look when he landed a big fish."

Brady writes a new check and shows it to Arianna, "This will prove I'm serious. You think that's enough to get a girl out of town."

"WOW," says Arianna, "That's a lot of money! That's a WHOLE lot of money! When do you want me to leave? "

"I would pay ten times that amount if you didn't have to think about Nicole any more," says Brady.

"Holy cow," says Arianna, "You have TEN TIMES that amount? Maybe I'll stay." Kissing ensues.

Stefano holds the DVD, "The feature is about to begin, but to make the experience more like going to a real theater these days, first we'll have a half hour of commercials and previews."

Sami stops him, "No matter what is on that DVD I won't believe it."

Justin starts to leave. Adrienne calls him back, "Do you still suck at pool?"

"You know how it is," says Justin, "We rich boys stink at things that come so easily to you girls from the other side of the tracks. He suggests they make a wager, "Rack-em!"

Hope says, "When we lost Zack... Well, let me put it this way... When things get bad, Bo retreats into the past."

Carly says she can't know what it's like to lose a son, "But it's a cheap shot to say Bo runs out and has affairs and you have to do the grieving for both of you."

Hope whines, "I've gone through some very bad times alone."

Carly asks, "What about Patrick?" Ooooooo. That one went straight through the heart so cleanly it didn't even leave any blood.

Hope gasps, "Bo talked to you about me?" Who was the idiot who said there is no such thing as a dumb question? Hope is stunned, "You killed your own marriage, literally, and had the audacity to come here and kill mine. Are you getting restless? Bo will find himself all alone again."

Brady leaves. Arianna has dressed. She picks up the check and stares at it, "Sometimes we don't wait for things to work out. Sometimes we take matters into our own hands and single-handedly screw them up."

Nicole admits she came back to town for Brady, "He hasn't married Arianna yet and if I play my cards right he never will."

EJ takes Sami out into the hallway. Sami rants, "What is wrong with that man?" EJ says he's just trying to discredit him in her eyes. He also says he doesn't know what's on the DVD. She asks EJ to talk to Stefano, "I won't let him come between me and my family." EJ promises. Sami leaves. EJ goes back into he rumpus room.

Stefano sees him come in, "You are so lucky Samantha is such a stubborn bitch."

EJ asks, "What do you want?"

"Simple," says Stefano, "I want you to see the error of your ways and take responsibility."

Justin and Adrienne stand poised at the pool table. Justin says he knows Adrienne expects to win. He claims he used to let her win. Adrienne doesn't believe it, "What? You threw the game so you could nail me later?"

"Like I'd be the first guy ever to do anything like that."

"I guess nothing about us is what it used to be," says Adrienne, "I thought the reason you came to Salem was to defend Victor's godson in a murder rap. But you really wanted to play house with Hope."

Justin is a little confused. He gets on his iPhone and consults the interactive Guy Manual, "How does she get from the fact that I wanted to nail her, to the conclusion that I wanted to nail Hope?"

The interactive Guy Manual churns away and, as usual, comes up with the right answer, "'Women's Logic' is an oxymoron."

Chloe remembers being the 'other woman' when Nicole wanted Brady before, but they both realize Chloe got over it. What's a little flesh-eating bacteria among friends? Nicole insists Brady wants her, "He doesn't have to settle for second best. Arianna is wrong for him and I will prove it."

In yet another contrived DOOL coincidence, Arianna walks up to their table as Nicole says that, "Good luck with that."

Sami meets Brady at the pub. She tells him about Will moving in with Kate. Brady pukes his chowdah. He says Sami can't turn to EJ now.

EJ wonders if Stefano wants to see Johnny and Sydney again, "Because if you tell Samanther, she'll see to it that you don't." Stefano says everything he did, he did for his love of Elvis. And Buddy Holly.

"If you show me that same love now," says EJ, "You will keep this thing between you and me."

Adrienne huffs back to the bar and asks where she signs the papers.

Carly says she's been in love with Bo since they first met and now she's happy, "If I have anything to say we will be together for all the Days Of Our Lives. I love Bo and he loves me and that won't change."

Carly walks out. Hope asks herself, "Oh God, what's happening to me?" Henderson comes in and asks if she'll be dining there. Hope says she has a headache and won't, "I just want to go to bed." She leaves. It's an incurable brain tumor.

Chloe decides this would be a good time to get out of the Java Café before the big explosion, "Goodnight Ari."

"Goodnight Gracie."

Arianna sits down. "May the best woman win," says Nicole.

"Brady and I had a little chitchat," says Arianna. She holds out the check, "We would like to give this to you. Brady wants to help you start over anywhere but Salem. It's a one time offer. Take it or leave it."

Sami insists EJ has changed. Brady says he has heard that before. Sami defends EJ as Brady asks how EJ's stay at her place is working out for her and Rafe. Sami says Rafe wouldn't even let her provide an alibi, then tells Brady about the thing with DA Woods. Brady is exasperated, "Sami, let me remind you that you have four kids to take care of."

"Four," gasps Sami, "Wow, didn't realize it was that many. I guess I lost count."

Brady says Sami can't ever break the connection between EJ and his father.

Stefano rambles, "So... you want me to remain quiet. And you sided against me, and made me think that little girl was dead. You stood aside while I grieved." He gives EJ a sly little smile, "I couldn't have done it better myself."

Justin claims there was never anything between Hope and him. Adrienne gets snotty, "She was so in love with Bo she wouldn't give you a tumble, but if things were different, you would leave skid marks under this bar. I know the score now." She scribbles her signature on the papers, half-wads them up and shoves them back at him." Justin leaves. Adrienne breaks down.

Outside we look at Justin with a funny camera angle through a pair of doors to signify impending danger.

Nicole says, "Thank Brady for me. Actually I'll do it myself. So when is the wedding?"

"We've decided not to rush in," says Arianna.

"Good," says Nicole, "Brady took my advice."

Arianna snorts, "Brady wouldn't take your advice. It was more my idea to slow down. Brady is too good to abandon someone as needy as you. you mess with me and you won't like what happens."

Sami insists she's not relying on EJ. Brady tells her she needs to stand on her own two feet. Sami completely ejects herself from the game of mental stability, "I AM STANDING ON MY OWN TWO FEET." Brady wants to know why Will wants to move out.

"because EJ is living at my place," says Sami, "

Now it's Brady's turn to have a personal apocalypse, "WHAT? Throw the bum out."

Sami insists, "He's not a bum."

Brady cranks it up, "He gives bums a bad name. Do you think maybe EJ is trying to make another play for you?" Brady would be a pauper even if clues were a dime a dozen.

Stefano says he doesn't like being played for a fool, "But you made Roman Brady's daughter believe in you. You are a true DiMera."

EJ asks, "What is this... are you..."

"Don't get too cocky," says Stefano, "I found that medicine bottle and had my suspicions, but you kept going at it. you are the ultimate deceiver." He gives him the DVD.

EJ says, "This is not the only copy so this is... a gesture?"

Stefano pats EJ's shoulders, "It is a gesture of respect. Elvis, you played it well."

Chloe is outside her apartment and on the phone leaving a message for Daniel. She walks in and finds Carly. Chloe chokes, "Call me when you get a clue."

Carly is cheerful, "Hi. Daniel gave me his keys. I will do the best I can to stay out of your way."

Adrienne hears noises and wonders what's going on outside. She runs to the door, sees something, runs outside and goes down the alley. She finds Justin lying unconscious on the ground, "JUSTIN! NO, NO, NO, BABY!"

Nicole wonders if that's a threat. Arianna says, "Take the check and leave town, unless you want to watch Brady and me live happily ever after."

"Happily ever after is for fairy tales," says Nicole, "This is real life."

"This is DOOL," says Arianna, "Any resemblance to real life is purely coincidental."

Sami says now that Sydney is back she and EJ have to honor their promises to God, "EJ has changed. He's different."

Brady growls, "He's the same goon who ruined my dad's life and had me beat up on the dock."

Sami has an excuse for everything, "That's why I didn't want to tell him about Sydney. But he hates that person now. I believe now I am seeing the real EJ."

Back at the DiMera mansion, the real EJ doesn't know what to say.

"My boy has become a man," says Stefano.

"So," asks EJ, "it remains between us?"

"You are my son," says Stefano, "I'll always love you. It's over, but for there to be complete peace, there is one final condition..."
