One For My Baby And One For The Road

We pan up on Brady at the poker game as Norbert spikes his drink and takes it over to the table. Baker watches as Brady sips, "Say goodnight, Brady."

Brady takes another sip, "Goodnight, Brady."

Sami reads the paper about Arianna's incarceration and rants about Arianna needing Rafe's help, "So where are you?" She gets a call and the blood drains from her face. It was probably Lucas telling her he's bringing Allie back home and she'll have another kid to take care of.

Meanwhile, Rafe is all choked up. He struggles with the guard.

EJ is talking on his phone at the pier and asks Stefano about Anna's condition, "No, Father, I'm not so interested in Rafe. He's been off our radar for a few days and the only person we should be concerned about is Anna. Things are going very nicely with Samantha and I and the last thing I need is for her to open her mouth and spoil things for us. I'm not doing all this for nothing."

Anna wakes up in her hospital bed.

Father Matt begins the ceremony but Chloe stops him, "I'm sorry, we can't get married."

Daniel asks, "What's wrong. And don't give me that line about your scars again."

Rafe struggles and the guard slams him into the bars.

Anna removes her tubes and wires and tries to get up.

Daniel asks if Chloe feels all right. She claims she's OK as she and Carly have a staredown. "What is going on," asks Daniel. telling.

Baker watches. Brady guzzles. He asks about the guy who had the money clip. Brady starts to sweat and zones out. He says he has to go and heads for the door. Baker bolts. Outside, Brady staggers off.

EJ comes into the rumpus room as Sami finishes her call. It was Lucas telling her about Alice. EJ says he was hoping Sami would hear it from him and offers to take her to see Alice. Sami thanks him and apologizes for being such a bitch this morning, "I shouldn't have kissed you last night."

EJ escorts her out, "It's not important."

Nathan and Stephanie join Jennifer and Bonnie Adrienne at Alice's. Stephanie asks about Jack. Jennifer says he'll be there soon. Nathan goes up to check on Alice. Adrienne offers Stephanie food. They go into the kitchen and talk about Alice. Stephanie tells her she's not pregnant. Adrienne says she thinks Nathan is a keeper, "He'll make a great husband just as soon as he finds the right girl." She tells Stephanie about seeing Phillip when he stopped by to pick up something for Chloe.

Chloe asks to speak to Daniel alone, and the herd moves outside. Daniel asks her what's up.

Outside, Melanie says she thinks that was weird and asks if they all have any idea what it was all about.

Back in her room Chloe tells Daniel she wants to marry him more than anything, but can't. Daniel doesn't get it. "You will," says Chloe, "Once I explain it all."

Jen and Nathan join Stephanie and Adrienne in the kitchen. Sami and EJ arrive. Nathan and Stephanie head back to the hospital. Adrienne sees them out. Jennifer and Sami go upstairs and EJ makes a call. He asks for word on Anna's condition.

Anna struggles to get dressed. She hears voices and gets back in bed and covers up. Mystery feet walk in and the guy stands over her.

Rafe attacks the guard again and overcomes him.

Carly says Daniel and Chloe have things to work out. "What things," asks Melanie. Phillip knows... he has yet another flashback to his romp with Chloe. Carly suggests they go someplace more private. Phillip gasps, "NO!"

Chloe starts to talk to Daniel. Father Matt sticks his head in the open door and asks if he can help. Chloe says yes, "I'd like to go to confession."

Father Matt checks his schedule, "I'll book you as soon as I have a free afternoon."

Melanie wants to know what's wrong with her and Carly going off to talk. "Nothing," says Phillip, "Just as long as I don't have to listen. I've been tortured enough today." Phillip says he just wants to know where to find them in case the ceremony starts. The girls go off.

Daniel asks why Chloe needs absolution. Father Matt says she needs to be in a state of grace prior to giving her wedding vows. Chloe asks Daniel to understand. Understanding Daniel leaves.

Father Matt sits beside Chloe, who begins the confession, "Bless me father for I have sinned. Boy, have I sinned."

Brady staggers at the pier. He crashes to the ground as Baker watches. Baker walks up to him, "I'm sorry pal, but it's the end of the road for all your questions."

Sami joins EJ in the kitchen. She says Alice seems peaceful and asks if she interrupted anything. "I'm just planning a meeting," says EJ.

Sami sees he got a text message, "No you aren't. Are you keeping something from me?" She snatches the phone from his hand and reads the message, "You weren't going to tell me about this, we're you?"

The mystery hand examines Anna and leaves. Anna opens her eyes, sits up and gets out of bed, "OK, this is it, kid."

The other guard brings Shane back. He surveys the scene inside the cell as Rafe examines the guard he just conked. Shane's guard points his pistol at Rafe, "Get your hands up or you are a dead man!" Shane and Rafe stare.

Shane quips that he shouldn't have left Rafe on his own. Shane's guard wonders who the other guard is. He becomes distracted and Rafe attacks. Shane dives in and they subdue the guard. Rafe and Shane cut out and lock the guards in the cell.

Sami runs right off the rails, "You knew about this and didn't say anything to me! My townhouse is fixed and I'm the last to know."

EJ says he called this morning about it and this message is from the contractor getting back to him, "In the interest of full disclosure, I wasn't going to tell you today, because of the news about Alice. You have to tell William and I want to (say it with him) be there for you when you tell him. If you want to leave, then leave."

Carly and Melanie are talking at the pub. Carly says, "I see how much you've come to love your father and I know that if Daniel needs you, you'll (say it with her) be there for him."

"You think Chloe is going to break his heart, don't you?"

Carly answers, "I'm afraid because of the kind of tramp person she is, she has the potential to hurt him."

Melanie asks, "What kind of person is she."

"She's just like you," says Carly, "Only she didn't put her sleazy romp with Phillip on the Internet."

Chloe tells Father Matt she believed Carly and Daniel were having an affair, "I was so distraught I ended up looking for comfort in the arms of an old friend — Phillip Kiriakis."

Father Matt wants a little clarification, "Comfort?"

"Monkey sex," says Chloe, "We cheated and then I found out Carly and Daniel never did anything. I could lose Daniel. I need your help. I need you to do something for me, Father."

Brady lies unconscious. Baker contemplates his flask, "What a waste of good scotch, but I can't let you remember anything. So it's one for my baby and one for the road." He takes a swig himself and then pours some into Brady's mouth.

EJ and Sami sit together. He asks her to wait to move out until this is all over. Jennifer comes back and announces Alice is asleep. EJ gets a call and leaves to take it. Jennifer asks about Sami's kids. She tells her about the ones she can remember. Jennifer asks about EJ. Sami tells her she's staying at the DiMera mansion. She also tells her about Rafe, "I thought he was perfect but he found out how far from perfect I am like everybody does. I thought he was the one."

Nathan and Stephanie find Daniel and Phillip. Daniel tells them they're getting married.

Concerned Stephanie asks, "You're not going to wait until she's released?"

Phillip flashes back again as Nathan goes on his rounds. Daniel goes to check on Father Matt and Chloe. Stephanie tells Phillip, "You look like you're going to jump out of your skin."

"No way," says Phillip, "My skin is one of the few original body parts I have left."

Chloe tells Father Matt about Carly's threats. She worries she will lose Daniel and Phillip's marriage will be over. She asks Father Matt to talk to Carly and stop her from ruining all their lives. Father Matt says that's not possible, "Whenever Carly's around, lives are ruined."

Carly says she wishes Daniel and Chloe weren't rushing things. Melanie says rushing works sometimes, like in her case when her feelings for Nathan went away the instant she married Phillip.

Father Matt says he agrees with Carly. He thinks Chloe should come clean and things will work out if there is enough forgiveness. Chloe whines, "But if I can keep it a secret, I will spend all the Days Of Our Lives making Daniel happy."

"Marriage cannot be based on a lie," says Father Matt. He leaves.

Outside, Daniel approaches him, "Is Chloe done?"

"In more ways than you know," says Father Matt, "I can't perform this marriage."

The Disney corporation has announced it will replace Soapnet with a preschool channel. Continuing this trend of increasing the intelligence level of television programming, Days Of Our Lives will be replaced by a test pattern.

Sami decides she's hungry and Jennifer offers to go to the kitchen and fix something. Sami wanders over and looks at a picture of Tom and Alice, "And what would you say, Mrs. Horton?"

Sami remembers talking to Alice who tells her, "The power of love hasn't changed."

Young Sami agrees. She asks Alice for advice, "I'd like to have someone in my life. Maybe you can help me."

"There is no magic formula," says Alice, "Kindness and understanding are what works. I'm sure you will find a wonderful man to be in your life. Over and over again."

Older but, regrettably, no wiser Sami stares at the picture, "I did. Too bad I blew it."

EJ is on the phone. He wants confirmation from Stefano that Anna will keep her yap shut.

Anna is weak. She rants about what Rafe has done to her, stands up and opens the door. Suddenly, she sees someone and reels backwards.

Baker pours the remainder of the scotch in the flask on Brady's shirt, "You picked the wrong loser to go after, pal." He puts the flask in Brady's hand and leaves.

Nathan returns to Alice's house. Jennifer tells him Alice is asleep and says when someone is dying they sometimes hold on until everyone they want to see arrives.

There is a knock at the door and strangers appear. Amidst all the hugging we figure it's probably Bill & Laura.

Melanie says once she and Phillip made the big commitment everything fell into place. Carly advises, "You need to (say it with her) be there for Daniel if things don't go well. If he goes through a bad time I hope you know you can rely on me until he gets back on his feet."

Melanie smiles, "Kinda like a mom?"

"Kinda like a mom."

An announcement comes over the loudspeaker, "Barf bags are located in the seat pocket in front of you."

Phillip says all this is none of Stephanie's business. She says it is because it's about Melanie, "If something goes wrong she'll run to Nathan. I don't want her to screw that up for me. I'm doing a good enough job of that myself."

Daniel comes into Chloe's room. He asks why Father Matt can't marry them.

EJ and Sami return to the DiMera mansion. EJ says, "You didn't say a word on the way home. I don't want you to feel forced to live here. If that's not what you want, you can leave."

EJ starts to go. Sami asks him to wait. She thanks him for his help with the townhouse, "I Hope you don't think that was a waste of money."

"Why would I think that," asks EJ.

"I'd like to stay," says Sami.

Rafe looks into the empty hospital room, "Anna?"
