A Total Diva Tantrum

Sami comes into the DiMera mansion rumpus room and announces to EJ that she's gotten the kids asleep. She asks about work and EJ gets frustrated. Sami digs, "I have this feeling something's wrong."

Rafe continues to grill Anna, "Who were you working with when you kidnapped Sydney?"

Anna agrees to tell all, "It was..."

"CHOKE! ACK! GZORPFFT! HACK!"

Rafe tells her to quit stalling.

Stefano sits at the pier. He gets a call, "How long ago was it delivered? Keep me posted."

Brady and Arianna are at the Java Café. Arianna continues to rant about Nicole, "You're addicted to her!"

Brady doesn't like her comparing Nicole to an addiction, "I do have some control." He loses control. Arianna has a tantrum and runs out.

Nicole is with Dick in his dive. She asks him about his partner as Hopeless listens outside, "You'd better keep your mouth shut, Doc." Hopeless continues to listen as Baker tells Nicole she's better off not knowing who his partner is. Nicole decides to drop it and starts to leave. Hopeless senses Nicole is on the way out. She pulls out her gun, holds it in stealth position with both hands and points it toward the ground. The gun misfires and a dead goose drops from the sky.

Sami hears Sydney crying on the baby monitor and goes to check. EJ worries about Anna.

Rafe grills. Anna chokes. Rafe continues to accuse Anna of faking it. Suddenly, Anna slams face first into the table. "Dang," says Rafe, "Watch it. If you hurt that table, they'll add the repairs to our hotel bill."

Maggie gets a call. Mia comes into the kitchen as Maggie hangs up. She tells Mia Alice isn't feeling well. Mia suggests baking cookies. Maggie suggests medical attention. She also suggests something may be wrong with Mia, "I see a sadness there."

Brady leaves a message for Arianna, "I don't want to leave things like we did."

Arianna sits in bed and sees the message come through, "Taking won't help." If talking helped, this verbose show would solve the problems of the world.

Baker stops Nicole and asks how they can frame Arianna if she has an alibi tonight. Nicole tells him not to worry. She says she will make sure Arianna doesn't have an alibi. Hopeless moves away from the door. Nicole leaves. As Nicole walks away, Hopeless aims her gun directly at Nicole's back and fires. The bullet obliterates a trash can behind Hopeless.

Sami has Sydney down in the rumpus room. EJ takes her in his arms.

Down, Ejamis. It's Sydney he takes in his arms.

Rafe checks out the unconscious Anna,

Baker wonders how he's going to pull things off as Hopeless comes in. She rants, "Conspiring with your old partner in crime? Are you trying to make me jealous? You betrayed me. Not a smart move. Whatever happened to staying true to your partner?"

Nicole finds Roman at the Java Café and asks if he has leads on Brady's mugging. Roman has no comment. Roman thinks it's funny she's interested in justice, "If justice were being served you'd still be in prison." Nicole says she regrets what she did as Brady listens. "Too little too late," says Roman, "If you come close to my granddaughter again I'll make sure you get what you deserve."

EJ comes back and tells Sami he got Sydney to sleep. Sami is amazed at his parenting skills, "You have a special bond with Sydney."

The paramedics have arrived in Rafe's hotel room. They asks Rafe if Anna took any meds, drugs or alcohol. Inspector Cluelesseau looks at Anna's food, and figures she may have been poisoned, "Dammit!"

Maggie says she knows Mia has been cutting classes. Mia makes excuses. Maggie lectures. Mia whines, "Nothing prepares you for the real world and since I'm leaving DOOL I have to face reality." Maggie understands, but says it's no excuse for being irresponsible. Mia says she has a plan. She's decided to drop out and go to New York and be a dancer.

Baker insists he didn't betray his partner. Hopeless says she overheard him talking with Nicole. Baker says he said those things to protect them, "Nicole is going to turn us in if..."

Hopeless screams, "Us? she doesn't know I'm your partner."

"I won't tell," says Baker, "But I don't want to go to jail."

"Cross me and your fate will be worse than that," says Hopeless, "I don't care if Nicole wants you to frame Arianna Hernandez or Hillary Clinton. I am in control. Am I making myself clear?"

Nicole asks Brady if he thinks people will ever forgive her, "As long as you forgive me, that's what matters. Tell me you'll never turn your back on me." Brady turns his back on her and bolts out the door.

Kinzie comes up to Nicole and tells her Brady's in a bad mood, "His girlfriend pitched a fit and stormed out earlier after they argued." Nicole says she loves this news. "It was a total diva tantrum," says Kinzie.

Sami and EJ sit on the couch and Sami tells him she's jealous of him because of all the time he had with Sydney when she was a baby. EJ tries to encourage her, "You have all the Days Of Our Lives to build that relationship. Will, Johnny, Sydney and Allie all love you."

Sami says she regrets all the time she spent in the witless protection program away from her kids, "Sydney doesn't know me. Trying to bond is hard. Trying to find a babysitter is harder."

EJ reminds Sami she may have left, but it wasn't her choice, "When Sydney is older, you can explain things to her."

"I'll do that," says Sami, "I'll call her when she's in boarding school and explain everything."

The EMTs wheel Anna out. "She was poisoned," gasps Rafe. What tipped you off, Sherlock?"

Sami obsesses over Nicole and the kidnapper, "I swear to God when I find out who did this, I'm going to kill them."

Maggie wonders if this is about Chad. Mia insists not. She says mostly it's thinking about Grace. Mia has decided she needs to start a new life. Maggie thinks she's running away.

Baker backpedals and says he was just humoring Nicole. Hopeless asks, "How do I know you're not humoring me?"

"You're scarier than Nicole," says Baker, "Besides if we frame Arianna it won't sit well wit Brady Black."

Hopeless thinks Nicole is a fool taking risks for a bastard who will just jilt her in the end, "I will never let another man ruin my life."

Nicole stands outside and looks up at Arianna's apartment, "I have to make sure she's alone." She calls.

EJ says he's angry too, but the important thing is they have Sydney back. Sami whines, "I think Sydney wishes I were Nicole."

A doc stands in a hospital room and examines Anna. Rafe comes in and flashes his badge. He gives the doc a baggie containing the food Anna was eating. The doc says he's uncertain as to Anna's condition, takes the doggie bag and leaves.

Stefano picks a flower outside his door. His phone rings. He answers, "So, her supper did not agree with her? How unfortunate. It may just be her last supper."

Mia whines about nobody caring for her, except Maggie of course, "Wherever I go I think of Grace. I know Chad has been through it too, but he didn't give birth to her. It's different for guys, you know. Even so, he knows a little bit what it's like and I'm going to lose him, too. I feel like the only way to get past all this is to move away."

Maggie tells her every part of the house reminds her of Mickey, "He was actually here once or twice. If I moved away I'd still see him and hear him because he's in my heart. You can't run away from that."

Baker wonders why Hopeless is so down on men. Hope evades and tells him to shut up. She leaves to take care of something.

Arianna picks up. Nicole asks to talk to her about the exposé. Arianna tells her to get lost and hangs up. "That was rude," says Nicole, "but helpful." Arianna turns out the lights and Nicole goes into action.

Rafe stares at Vege-Anna. The doctor comes in and announces the food was poisoned. Stating the obvious is why doctors get the big bucks. He says he isn't sure Anna will make it, "This poison is usually fatal."

"You have to keep her alive," says Rafe, "Or I'll get stuck with her hotel bill, too."

Maggie begs Mia to stay in Salem and finish school. Mia agrees to stick it out, and says she and Maggie can help each other. Hugs.

Nicole comes into the Java Café and callas Arianna. It goes straight to voicemail and Nicole leaves a message asking her to call. Then she calls Baker. She tells him Arianna is in bed without an alibi, "So get that evidence on a victim. Any victim."

Arianna tosses and turns.

Hope returns and tells Baker she has a victim picked out. Baker grabs the brush and follows.

Rafe is back at the hotel. He grills the bellhop and finds out Diego isn't working. Rafe asks to meet with the staff and view security tapes. The bellhop leaves. Rafe stares, "Someone wanted Anna dead." OMG! How does he figure these things out?

Stefano tells his henchman on the phone he did an excellent job and says Rafe will never find him.

EJ says, "At some point, Sydney will realize she has the best mom ever. If you give her up for adoption, that is. You are everything a mom should be... brave... nurturing... caring... gentle... naïve enough to believe this BS..."

Sami thinks EJ is all those things, too. She gets closer... closer... closer...

An Ejami official calls for the action to stop. She walks up on stage and measures the distance between them, "Nine inches. That's a bit far, but just look at their eyes and the way they are staring at each other. I'm making the call. It's an official 'almost kiss.'" The Ejami section cheers.

EJ stops Sami from coming closer and thanks her. He and Sami stare at each other. He twiddles her hair as Sami says she should go check on Sydney. EJ asks to go with her. Sami agrees and leaves. EJ stares and smiles. And sighs.

Rafe is back in Anna's room. He's on the phone barking orders. The doc comes back in. he tells Rafe things do not look good. So let's review... Anna's unconscious, has been poisoned, the poison is usually fatal, she's lying in her hospital bed looking like death warmed over, and it takes an MD degree to tell us things do not look good.

Stefano plays chess alone, "Sorry, Anthony, but that was a move I was forced to make. At least poison is less painful than a palette through your gut."

Brady answers the Kiriakis mansion door. It's Nicole. She tells him she called Arianna and she sounded angry and upset. Brady tells her it's because they had an argument. He tries to call again.

Arianna tosses and turns, "I can't sleep until I settle things with Brady."

Roman putters around the pub, locks up and leaves. Outside, he starts to walk off as Hopeless comes up behind him.

KA-POW!

"Sigh".....another "almost kiss"-if only their lips could actually meet. BUT, this is EJ Dimera we are talking about-if only 9 inches separated them then Sami could still get pregnant!! I'll leave it at that, I know this is a "family" site-LOL!!
As for Rafe's new name, I could offer a few, but again-I am forced to behave myself, I don't know how to do a censored link........

haha - another coffee across keyboard moment (Prevuze should start selling keyboard insurance) on Rafe's new name Dipwad.

Obviously Anna is not going to die. No, she needs to stick around so she can get angry she was almost killed and fess up that EJ kidnapped his own kid and Rafe can reveal all of this at the most inopportune time for all Ejamis. Duh.

Arianna continues to rant about Nicole, "You're addicted to her!"

It’s more like Arianna is addicted to obsessing over Nicole.

She also suggests something may be wrong with Mia, "I see a sadness there."

Since the actress has gotten her pink slip, I think that’s pretty accurate.

Rafe checks out the unconscious Anna.

The last time Rafe stumbled upon an unconscious person, he thought Dr. Baker was dead. With Rafe’s track record, he isn’t the guy you want checking someone’s vitals.

She's decided to drop out and go to New York and be a dancer.

Mia dropped out of school to go to Japan to be a dancer and look how well that turned out.

Brady turns his back on her and bolts out the door.

Dr. Baker ought to take a cue from Brady and get the hell out of Dodge. He’s got to know that Hopeless would have a difficult time following through on her threats because he can implicate her in the muggings.

"When Sydney is older, you can explain things to her."

"I'll do that," says Sami, "I'll call her when she's in boarding school and explain everything."

…or after Sydney has had enough of Sami and escapes to Switzerland to be with Carrie and Austin where she’ll join Will, Johnny, and Allie.

"You're scarier than Nicole," says Baker.

…and Nicole doesn’t have a gun.

Stefano plays chess alone, "Sorry, Anthony, but that was a move I was forced to make. At least poison is less painful than a palette through your gut."

LOL!!! If Stefano were going to poison anyone, you would have thought it would be Rafe. After all, Anna has 5,000,000 reasons to keep her mouth shut. If nothing else, Rafe is persistent so eliminating him makes much more sense.

Prevuze - Dipwad is definitely an appropriate moniker for Rafe.
Bulldog – thanks for the great Monday morning censored link! By the way Bulldog, Mr. Gering recently had an emergency appendectomy. I’m guessing that means your guy won’t be doing a shirtless scene anytime soon, so you’ll just have to “settle” for EJ and Brady beefcake. LOL!!!

Who else will cheer when Hope clocks Roman? Anyone? Everyone?

Another almost kiss, much hotter than all the kisses & sex scenes on DAYS for the last year combined.

My word verification is fixing. Think the writers will ever get fixed?

EJ stops Sami from coming closer and thanks her. He and Sami stare at each other. He twiddles her hair as Sami says she should go check on Sydney.

Did EJ just c-block, er k-block himself? Is that guilt or did Sami have halitosis?

Hell yeah, i'd be a good thing if Anna keals over :) Unfortunately, we all know that's not gonna happen (: ... at least she can try to be violently ill for a while and keep Rafe there to give us Ejami's a chance at that elusive 'almost kiss' moment...

LOL at the "Down, Ejamis. It's Sydney he takes in his arms"...To tell the truth I was kind'a getting stoked at the thought that it was Sami he was taking in his arms...One can only hope...Sigh...

So funny as was Hope shooting the trash can behind herself.

She tells Mia Alice isn't feeling well.

Oh dear. Well, now it starts. Begin stocking up on keenex everyone.

Mia says she has a plan. She's decided to drop out and go to New York and be a dancer.

And how is that going to work out any better than her big trip to Japan to be a dancer? I haven’t seen her going to any dancing classes since she’s been back.

"This poison is usually fatal."

Especially when bystanders just stand there and jaw at the victim rather than getting them immediate help.

Prevuze & Bulldog also get my stamp of approval on Rafe's new name and on his titillation over the bathroom cam pictures. Censored links rock. Especially on Mondays.

The DOOL writers constantly repeat themselves so I will too - WHY is Dr. Baker still in town? What could Hopeless and Nicole do to him if he disappeared?? This is beyond the logic thing.

LOL over the Justin pic, the house reminds her of Mickey - he was actually here once or twice and my own censored link. I didn't realize it was that naughty. But I'm pleasantly surprised and honored!

And Leslie - I saw that on Galen's Twitter about his appendectomy. I wonder if he'd eaten at Denny's? (Sorry, inside reference. Years ago my husband had an emergency appendectomy after eating breakfast at a Denny's. HA) I wonder if they'll work an injury into the script or something so he can proudly show off his scar?

Thanks for the laughs on this STILL gloomy and rainy Monday, Prevuze. :D

Bulldog - That would work. GG could hold a press conference for all the soap magazines and show off his scar just like LBJ did when he had his gall bladder surgery.

Bulldog - Censored links are at the discretion of the blog owner / blog-nazi which would be me. So my rule of thumb is, "When in doubt, censor." Mainly, not because we are all a bunch of prudes but because people seem to get a kick out of censored links.

Besides, you've gotta admit, there is something just a bit creepy about a guy following a gal into the women's restroom (via video or in person) to get his jollies. The Guy Manual clearly advises against this. Rather, it suggests waiting until she exits the restroom to do something disgusting and inappropriate.

And while I'm ranting, you might suggest to your husband the next time he goes into a Denny's one Grand Slam is enough for any guy to have for breakfast. Have two of them and you never can tell what body part will blow up on you.

I loved the picture of Hope asking Dr. Baker what happened to staying true to your partner. His answer is perfect.

Maggie begs Mia to stay in Salem and finish school. Mia agrees to stick it out, and says she and Maggie can help each other.

So is this the final nail in the Maggie falling off the bandwagon storyline?

First Mickey died. Next, Alice will pass. She'll just start to deal with that and Mia will be killed, for which Maggie will blame herself since she talked Mia into staying in Salem.

Longing looks at booze bottles will become long drags off of said bottles and that's all she wrote.

Please tell me I'm wrong and Dena and her class-o-clowns disguised as writers aren't that transparent?

Word verification - oxyled...The DrOOL writers are oxy(contin)led!
