The Long Anticipated Return Of Beauregard Aurelius Brady

Carly comes into Bo and Hope's house. Suddenly, as I live and breathe, who should come up behind her and startle her, none other than Beauregard Aurelius Brady. Carly jumps out of her socks. Bo hugs, and hopes to get her out of a lot more than her socks.

At the hospital, Abe announces the fingerprints found on the flashlight are Arianna's. Brady and Arianna protest and ignore the fact that the mayor is playing cop. Abe says it's no mistake, "The SPD already made its quota of mistakes today."

The boys play poker at the dive. Baker flashes back to Roman's mugging. He zones out and one of the players asks, "Are you in, Dick?" Dick's in.

Stephanie continues to badger Phillip at the Cheatin' Heart. Phillip turns the tables and says things do not seem good with her and Nathan.

Melanie asks Nathan why he doesn't think things are good with Daniel and Chloe. Nathan wants to change the subject. Melanie wants to pester, "If you care about me or Daniel, you'll tell me."

Chloe and Daniel dress after their non-encounter. Daniel wants to know if he did something to upset her. Chloe says no and flashes back. She's going to need a new bra. We've seen Phillip rip that one off so many times it's got to be worn out by now. "Daniel," she whines, "look, you are the kindest person I've ever met, but even you would have a hard time understanding this and I pray you love me enough to forgive me."

Arianna insists she's never seen the flashlight before. Brady wonders if it's Caroline's and she's used it in the pub. Nicole soaks it all in. Abe asks, "Can anyone give you an alibi?" CENSORED.

Bo and Carrie munch on each other. Bo says he was a model patient during the bone marrow transplant with Kimberly, "It would have been different, however, if I were the one donating the bone marrow."

Carly asks if Bo stopped by the hospital. Bo gets macho, "I don't need a checkup — except from you. Bo wants to play doctor. Carly stops the sex machine long enough to tell him Roman was attacked.

Hope's phone wakes her. It's Abe with the news of Roman's mugging. He tells her they have evidence and Hope springs into action.

Brady tells Arianna he'll call Justin. Arianna says she doesn't need a lawyer. Nicole jumps in to help, "That's right, I'm sure someone with Arianna's limited abilities couldn't be doing this."

"No one asked your opinion," snorts Abe, "And clubbing someone isn't exactly a sophisticated crime. Switching babies and then kidnapping the kid — now that takes a little more creativity." They all remember Carly saw someone matching Arianna's description fleeting the scene.

Melanie continues to press Nathan about Chloe. She says Daniel and Chloe fought, but she doesn't know what it was about, "I just want them to be happy." Phillip joins them. Melanie gets a call and says she has to go to the hospital to cover for Judy. She and Phillip leave while Nathan goes back inside the Cheatin' Heart.

Nathan joins Stephanie, who asks if Melanie said something to upset him. "Yeah," says Nathan, "she did."

Chloe continues to dangle her problem in front of Daniel without saying anything of substance. Saying things of substance is not Chloe's strong point. She thinks Daniel wants to push back the wedding date because he doesn't want to marry her. Daniel disagrees, "I love you as much as ever. More."

"I love you, too. So much," says Chloe, "All I feel toward myself is disgust." See, things are looking up. Feeling disgust for Chloe is a normal, natural thing to do, which proves she's not totally insane.

Daniel hugs her, "I wish you could see yourself as I do... A great pair of knockers with an empty attic." He blames himself for all this, "You can talk to me about anything."

"OK." Hugs. And whining.

Carly gives Bo the details on Roman. Roy and Dale head for the hospital.

Hope arrives at the hospital. Brady immediately runs up to her and tells her Arianna did not do this.

Hope asks, "You know this for a fact?"

"Fact," asks Brady, "When did a Salem cop ever let facts get in the way of an investigation?" Hope reminds him Roman was marked and says she has to consider every possibility. She goes into Roman's room and Arianna joins Brady. "Don't worry," Brady reassures her, "Hope is keeping an open mind."

"That explains how all her brain cells escaped," says Arianna. Nicole soaks it all in.

Phillip and Melanie walk by the park bench. Melanie thinks he's awfully quiet. "That's because you do enough talking for everyone," says Phillip. He asks about her conversation with Nathan.

She tells him he shouldn't be jealous and says they were talking about Chloe and her problem with Daniel, "I have to find out what it is for my own peace of mind."

"A piece is all you've got."

Daniel tells Chloe he has to go in to the hospital. He does a smooch 'n go and promises her they will handle things.

After Daniel goes, Chloe contemplates the situation, "We'll handle it as long as you don't find out I slept with Phillip."

Stephanie wonders if Nathan and Melanie were talking about her. Nathan says the conversation was work related. Nathan don' wanna talk about it. So they talk.

Brady tries to reassure Arianna. Nicole offers her two cents worth and reminds them the SPD is good at going after innocent people. At least it's good at something.

Bo rushes into the waiting area looking for Roman. A nurse intercepts him, "Even though this is Salem Hospital and we don't do many things right, we sometimes actually put the patients in rooms, not the waiting area." Bo's eyes meet Hope's. Oh, the angst!

Phillip comes into Maggie's kitchen. He calls Chloe. Chloe answers, "You sound strange. Is something wrong?"

"No," says Phillip, "I am strange." Chloe insists she and Daniel are good and she's not going to tell him because it will never happen again. Phillip asks, "So we have nothing to worry about." Translation: worry.

Chloe drops the bomb, "Except I've told Nathan."

Phillip jumps out of his skin, "Nathan knows about this?"

Hope welcomes Bo back. They talk about Roman's mugging and the symbol.

Bo asks, "So, you think a woman was involved?" Carly reminds them she saw a woman leaving the scene.

Hope asks for a moment alone and tells Bo she has to question Arianna. Bo thanks her for filling him in, "You did a great job while I was away. Down at the station they say I was hardly missed."

"That's because you're never there anyway."

Brady tells Abe he thinks Arianna will need a lawyer. "Well," says Hizonner, "I'm not really in a position to advise you..." So he advises Brady to get Arianna a lawyer.

Nicole tells Arianna she wants to help Brady and asks her if anyone saw her or talked to her. Arianna says she was alone and had her phone turned off, and had just turned it on to call Brady when she heard the ruckus. Arianna suddenly thinks Nicole is accusing her of the crime.

Nicole says she doesn't want to believe Arianna is guilty. They snipe about each other's prison records. Nicole threatens her if she hurts Brady.

Hope wants people down at the station. She says she'd question everyone at the hospital but unfortunately left her set of rubber hoses in the interrogation room at the cop-shop. Brady takes Arianna off. Nicole tells Hope she'll pass any information she gets along to her. Hope brushes her off. She tells Bo she has things under control, makes a little crack about Carly and leaves.

Stephanie says she thinks Nathan is a good guy and she thanks that's sexy. Of course Stephanie thinks anything in pants with two legs is sexy. Actually, two legs are optional.

Melanie arrives at the hospital and finds Daddy Dan, "I didn't know you would be here."

"I got called in for an appendicitis attack. They would have called you and Nathan in, but they wanted this patient to live. And it turns out my patient's appendicitis just turned out to be gas."

"EEEEUUUWWWWW..." Ever get the feeling Melanie may not be cut out to be a nurse?

Melanie just wants Daddy Dan to be happy. Daniel wants to talk about what's bothering her. She asks if Chloe really makes him happy.

Phillip has a conniption, "Nathan knows we slept together?"

"He doesn't know it was you."

"Oh, OK," says Phillip, "Then it's your problem. You know, Nathan has a thing for my wife. What if she starts pondering the possibilities?"

"I wouldn't worry about that," says Chloe, "In order to ponder, you have to be able to think."

Nathan shows up at Chloe's door and she hangs up on Phillip.

Baker calls Nicole. Nicole isn't happy to hear from him, "Why don't you just lose my number, Dick?"

"Loan me $50," asks Baker, "You owe me."

"No," says Nicole, "You owe me." Brady and Arianna walk up.

Melanie starts in, "Now that I have a semi-normalish family, I..."

Daniel interrupts, "I know you mean well, and I also know I have to keep my life together for you. And I'm doing that." He asks about what's going on in her life. Nervous Melanie hems and haws and says she wants advice on how to deal with Daniel's godfather. She says Vivian asked her over to get back into Victor's good graces. Daniel doesn't want that.

Melanie gets a call. She hangs up and says, "Mr. Fedderman needs a bedpan." As she goes she promises Daniel she'll stay away from Vivian. She rushes off. Daniel, also leaves.

Chloe lets Nathan come in. He tells her he and Melanie are still friends and she's been sensing tension between Chloe and Daniel, "I realize not everything has been perfect since you started sleeping around on him." He says people will find out. Chloe wonders if he is going to tell.

Brady asks, "Who owes you what, Nicole?"

"Not that it is any of your business," says Nicky, "but that was a source." Arianna wonders which story she's talking about. Nicole doesn't think that should matter to Arianna since she's headed for jail. Brady suggests he and Arianna go home. Hope comes up and announces Arianna isn't going anywhere.

Chloe tells Nathan trashing her to Daniel won't score points with Melanie. Nathan says he won't tell. He says he's there because he's battling with his conscience. He says he wants to help. Chloe don' need no stinkin' help. He tells Chloe there are options for her, but she won't get to the root without facing her problems. Chloe thinks the root of the problem is Carly.

Nathan asks, "Have you ever considered sex addiction therapy?"

"No," says Chloe, "I don't need help with that. I'm already addicted."

Stephanie and Melanie bump into each other at the hospital. Melanie asks, "How's the headache?"

"Headache?"

"Yeah," says Melanie, "You know, the one that made you swear off drinking. You're spending the night with Nathan, aren't you. I Hope you have your birth control pills."

"I do."

"Show me."

Arianna, Brady, Nicole and Hope are at the cop-shop. Hope grills. She asks Arianna if she saw Roman today. Arianna says no. "That answer will decide your fate," says Hope.

Baker stands alone and decides he should leave town, "But I can't leave Dodge without money. That detective will hang my entrails when she finds out I planted evidence."

Hope asks for a DNA sample from Arianna. Arianna asks what if there is a match. "I would have to place you under arrest," says Hope.

Stephanie thinks Melanie is insane. Melanie rants and accuses Stephanie of being up to something. Stephanie insists she's not up to anything. Melanie demands to look in her purse to confirm she has her birth control pills. Stephanie refuses. Melanie grabs the purse and...

CATFIGHT!

Phillip worries about what else Chloe may have told Nathan.

Daniel shows up at Maggie's back door and confronts Phillip, "You bastard, what did you do to Melanie?"

Phillip says, "I did it to Chloe, not Melanie. I didn't mean for it to happen."

Chloe blows a gasket, "SEX THERAPY? Thank you Dr. Ruth." She swings the door open, "Get out and keep your friggin mouth shut."

Nathan gives her a look like he's seen a ghost. "What," asks Chloe. She turns and looks into the hall, and who should be standing there soaking it all in but...

CARLY!
