A Slippery Road To Hell

Daniel joins Carly and Chloe in Chloe's hospital room. Chloe says, "Carly was just leaving."

St. Carly says, "The hell I am."

Daniel wants to know what's up, "Does somebody want to clue me in."

"Getting you a clue is a bigger job than the two of us can handle," says Carly, "But there is something I have to tell you about you and Chloe."

Phillip and Melanie are in the pub. Melanie says she overheard his conversation with Kayla and wants to know why Phillip didn't let them keep Pocket.

Shane startles Kimberly in Bo and Hope's living room, "I have something to tell you and you're going to listen."

Rafe advises Arianna to get rid of EJ. He says he will help her, "I'm not much of an attorney, but I can give the judge an advanced algebra demonstration that will knock his socks off."

Arianna asks, "Is this about me or Sami?"

Rafe insists EJ is poison, "I'm not here for Sami. I am (say it with him) here for you."

Arianna says, "You're still in love with her."

Sami is shocked, stunned, flabbergasted. EJ says he really means it, "I love you."

Sami stammers and stutters, "You can't just come out and say something like that. It's overwhelming."

"Well," says EJ, "I notice you're still here. You didn't leave."

Daniel waits for an answer. Carly and Chloe convince him they were just talking about the baby's health. "The fetus is fine," says Daniel.

"That's a relief," says Chloe, "Good feet are very important."

Sami says she's not threatened, "You said you had feelings for me..."

EJ interrupts, "Love. I said I love you." Stammerin' Sami yammers. EJ wants her to admit she's living at the DiMera mansion because she wants to be with him, "Why don't you just admit that?"

The suspense (choke) in Chloe's room continues. A nurse comes in and announces there has been a big accident, "We need all hands on deck." Carly and Daniel rush out.

Chloe obsesses, "Carly just won't quit. She will tell Daniel this baby might not be his and then Daniel won't quit digging."

Nicole rushes into the room babbling, "I'm sliding down a slippery road to hell with nothing left to grab onto. EJ is trying to ruin my life..." She finally notices Chloe isn't listening, "Have you even heard a word I've said?"

Rafe don' wanna talk about Sami. So they talk about Sami. And EJ. Arianna says she likes him better than the public defender she was assigned, "He believes in me." Rafe asks where Brady fits into all this. Arianna gives Rafe the bad news, "We broke up."

"What," asks Rafe, "He said stay away from EJ and you said get the hell out of my life?"

"No," snorts Arianna. Rafe gets even more cynical... if that's possible. Arianna insists EJ is helping her, and reminds Rafe that EJ was a victim. Rafe thinks EJ is doing this to get into Sami's good graces.

Sami continues to recover from the fallout of the hydrogen bomb EJ has dropped, "I'm flattered."

EJ pulls out the Guy Manual and looks at the chapter, "When You Tell Her You Love Her." He reads:

"If you have foolishly ignored our advice and blurted out that you love her and have no way to take it back, you must consider her response carefully."

EJ looks down the series of responses until he comes to Sami's. He reads on:

"I'm flattered – See the section of this manual entitled, 'How To Deal With The Fact That You Are A Schmuck.'"

Sami says, "I think it's great we're getting along."

EJ asks, "Why can't you admit it's more than that?"

Sami says, "When someone... but I don't feel that way about you."

"What are you saying," says EJ, "We're just friends?"

"Yes, we are friends," says Sami, "That's how I think of you. I really care about you... as a friend."

EJ looks back at the Guy Manual's list of responses:

"Friends – A euphemism for 'I really wish I were someplace else and hope I never see you again after today.' You've painted yourself into a corner. Friends are people you get together and play Parcheesi with... not exactly what you've got in mind. You're totally out of options and have to resort to damage control. Tell her she's lying."

"Amazing," chuckles EJ, "That is the biggest lie I've heard yet."

Kimberly doesn't want to talk. Shane does. This is an unusual position for a man and woman... usually it's the other way around. Kim huffs out.

Phillip and Melanie walk at the park bench. She asks him about the Pocket affair. Phillip says he wasn't ready to be a father. He didn't want to be reminded of a part of his life he wanted to forget, so he chucked the kid. What a guy!

Nicole notices Chloe isn't wearing a wedding ring, "OMG, you didn't get married! You didn't tell him about your fling, did you?"

"It wasn't a fling," says Chloe.

"OK, revenge sex," says Nicole.

"It wasn't that," whines Chloe.

"OK, desperation sex," says Nicole, "Whatever it was you didn't tell him, did you?"

Chloe ramps up the whining, "It wasn't a fling, desperation sex or revenge sex or anything like that. And nobody has said anything about it yet. Daniel and Carly got called into emergency surgery before anyone said anything." Nicole thinks this gives them time to make a plan. Chloe takes whining to levels never before seen, "They're probably talking about it in surgery together right now. Carly will open up my veins along with the patient she's working on. I might as well be dead."

"You're already brain-dead," says Nicole.

Outside, Daniel is with Carly. Daniel shrieks, "IF YOU HAD TOLD ME THIS A WEEK AGO I WOULDN'T HAVE BELIEVED IT!"

Carly says, "I know it's terrible, but she will regret this for the rest of her life."

Do you feel appropriately set up? Manipulated? Bamboozled? Are you sitting there thinking Carly has spilled the beans? Of course not. This is DOOL... the place where writers go after they have been rejected by the "Dick and Jane Reader" series.

Daniel has a stroke, "The law says the baby should have been strapped in."

Carly says, "The mother knows that, too. The mother made a mistake. Mothers do that. And children suffer."

Daniel asks, "What... are you talking about the baby in the ER, or you and Melanie."

"Me and Melanie," says Carly, "In a way and Chloe, too."

Lame... Lame...

LAME!

Rafe says that came out wrong. He says EJ and Sami connected before he came back. Arianna asks where he was. He says he was off chasing Anna and found her. He tells her about Anna's poisoning and his stint in jail, "I got nothing. I did all this for Sami and now we're farther apart than we ever were."

"It's fate," says Arianna, "I don't think you were meant to be together."

Sami has a complete meltdown after EJ calls her a liar. EJ yells, "You are a giant pain in my ass and always will be."

"And I am not changing," snaps Sami. She starts to rush out but EJ grabs her.

Shane knocks on the door of the pub. Kimberly looks through the glass, "We're closed." Shane doesn't care. He threatens to break a window. Kimberly opens the door, "Make it fast."

Shane hands her a folded piece of paper, "Is this fast enough? Read it."

Phillip brings coffee to Melanie and they sit on the bench together. She asks about the people he gave his son to. Phillip says he checked them out and knows they were kind and loving.

Melanie is skeptical about that, "I'm sure my old man would have passed the smell test and look what happened."

Phillip insists, "This kid has a great life. He's doing fine. I've been keeping track of him. His name's Tyler. He's happy. He's..."

Melanie interrupts, "OK, I don't think you're a selfish bastard." Hugs. Barf bags are located in the seat pockets in front of you.

Nicole tells Chloe to stop crying. Chloe whines that Carly will ruin everything. Nicole tells her to concentrate on what she wants, "Don't give up."

"You're right," says bawls Chloe, "That bitch isn't going to take away my happiness. I'm going to end this right now!" Chloe heads for the door but Nicole stops her.

Sami agrees to listen, "But you don't get to tell me how to feel." EJ grins and says he marvels at the fact she doesn't change, "You get backed into a corner and you come out fighting. It's one of the things I don't like about you and one of the things I love about you."

"Stop using that word!"

EJ asks why she kissed him. She says it was a crazy momentary thing. He thinks she should admit it was more. He walks toward her and she backs up as they continue to bicker. "Be honest with me," he demands, "That kiss... that said everything." He gets closer. Sami pants. "It said you need me and want me as much as I need you. You may not be in love with me but I know you have feelings for me. Why not admit that?"

Closer... closer... closer... pant... pant... pant... EJ moves in for the kill, "We belong together. The children are proof of that. This is so real... so deep... so..."

So cell phone.

Lame... Lame...

LAME!

Sami breaks away and tells him to get it. EJ looks at the screen and says it's Arianna, "Her arraignment has been moved up."

"Saved by the bell," says Sami.

EJ says, "I'd like to continue this conversation." He kisses her and leaves.

Sami stands alone. She chugs a glass of water. Pant... Pant... Pant...

Daniel wants to know what is going on with Carly and Chloe, "Has Chloe made a mistake."

"No," says Carly, "It's my mistake. If there is a problem she has to tell you."

"Tell me what," asks Dr. Clueless.

"Whatever it is," says Carly, "It's for Chloe to say." She goes to check on a patient.

Chloe rants as Nicole tells her not to go after Carly, "I'm in the same place myself. If I don't do things the right way I could be in trouble."

Chloe agrees not to do something stupid – A real challenge for her. Nicole brings up EJ and wonders if he can bring her down. Chloe freaks again, "What am I going to do if Carly tells Daniel I slept with someone else?" And who should walk in...

DANIEL!!!

Phillip says he can't say how much it means to him that Melanie thinks he didn't do something wrong. Melanie smooches him. "What was that for," asks Phillip.

"You complete me," says Melanie.

"I'm glad one of us is complete," says the bionic man.

Hugs. Melanie says she's been meaning to talk to him about something. She asks if he ever wants to have a kid again someday. Phillip consults the Guy Manual, "If she brings up the subject of kids, you'd better hope she's talking about goats."

Daniel asks for a few minutes alone with Chole. Nicole hugs Chloe and leaves. Daniel asks what they were talking about. Chloe evades and says Nicole is upset with EJ, "She's my friend. My special friend who keeps me supplied with flesh-eating bacteria."

Daniel asks, "Did you tell her you were pregnant?"

"No," says Chloe, "We agreed only to tell Melanie and I would never betray your trust. Unless there was hot sex involved. Why do you look so serious? Did you and Carly talk about me?"

"Yeah, we did," says Daniel, "And there is something I need to know. Chloe, you wouldn't lie to me would you?"

"Of course not," she lies.

Kimberly reads, "So you're leaving the ISA."

"They accepted my resignation," says Shane, "I wanted you to know. I wanted you to understand I have finally decided I don't want to spend my life being somewhere my family isn't. My whole life has been about 'the mission.' That's over. From now on my only mission is to spend all the Days Of Our Lives together. I hope you'll let me back in."

Rafe agrees maybe he and Sami aren't meant to be. EJ walks up. He asks for a moment with his client. Rafe chuckles and tells him he's fired, "Maybe you should leave. Mys sister doesn't need you any more. No one does."

EJ tells Rafe he's about as useful to Arianna as he was to Sami when he vowed to find Sydney. That does it. Rafe makes a move toward him, but Arianna calls him off, "I'm due in court soon. I need someone to help." Rafe cools down, tells EJ not to screw it up and leaves.

Phillip says he does want kids. So does Melanie, but not yet, "When the time is right." The walk off.

Chloe asks, "Why would I lie to you? What did Carly say?"

Daniel says, "If there was a problem with the baby you should tell me."

"You're the doctor," Chloe reminds him, "You said there was nothing wrong with the baby, so I assume that's correct."

"So it isn't the baby," says Daniel, "Is it something else?"

"You mean like the third degree you keep giving me," asks Chloe, "I won't keep anything from you."

"Worry," says Daniel, "That's what I do. I love you so much."

"I love you too," says Chloe, "More than you know." Daniel suggests she tell him all about it on the way home since she has been discharged. Smoochies.

Carly watches from out in the hall, "Oh, God, what do I do now?" God should suggest she mind her own business.

Kimberly thinks this is a lot to process. Shane says she doesn't have to answer right away. He turns to go but she calls him back.

EJ consults with Arianna. She wonders what she will do if the judge denies bail. EJ says, "If he does, we will appeal."

Nicole is on the phone with Baker. She says she didn't find out what EJ has on her, "If he stands up in court and says he can prove we planted evidence to frame Arianna, we are dead meat! Understood?" She turns to see...

RAFE!
