Some Fish Are Passive

Sami is at the bar with Caroline. Caroline says she won't try to change Sami's mind about marrying EJ. Sami does what she can to talk Caroline into it.

EJ is on the phone, "I want it to be a total surprise."

Rafe is with his partner Whatshisface. They talk about the case and then suddenly, Rafe sees something important on his computer, "WOW! Prevuze wants to be my friend on Facebook!"

"I was friends with Prevuze on Facebook," says Whatshisface, "But got unfriended for sending all that Farmville crap."

Nicole pulls a disc out of her bag and remembers going to the locker and getting it... one step ahead of Rafe. She was a little slow that day. Usually she's a mile ahead of him. She gets a phone call and thinks it's Baker, "What? Are you in jail?" Oops. It's not Baker. It's Fay."

Bo is with Theo at the cop-shop. Theo tells him Ciara's mommy had wallets, "They were her treasures." Abe comes in and Bo says he's worried about Hope.

Carly talks about Hope's roller-coaster behavior. Vivian walks up and accuses Carly of trying to murder Bo. Carly sneers, "Vivian, grownups are talking here."

Vivian keeps it up. She hits pay-dirt about Hope when she observes, "There are women who see their man around another woman and simply kill them."

Bo tells Abe about the wallets. Abe says he already knows. Bo says Ciara got them from Hope. Bo wants a private conversation with Abe, so he sends Theo to draw pictures. Abe gets jealous and wants a coloring book, too. "OK," says Bo, "I'm not gonna freak out. I'm sure there is a logical explanation." He decides to talk to Ciara.

Vivian rambles on about Carly's shenanigans. Carly cuts her off, "That's enough! Stop it! Stop it!"

Sami goes on begging Caroline to make her important life-changing decisions for her like adolescents often do. (My apologies for insulting adolescents everywhere) Caroline gets frustrated. Sami pulls out the whinerator, "Grandma, I'm confused."

"You're not just confused," says Caroline, "You parked your head and forgot where you left it. You certainly didn't sound confused when you said you loved Rafe."

"That's the problem," says Sami, "When I'm not confused is when it really confuses me."

Caroline asks, "Do you love EJ?" Sami hangs her head. Caroline is about ready to head for the nearest cliff just to end the pain. She'll have to stand behind a lot of viewers. She blurts, "If you don't love him tell him you don't want to marry him and then please God we can talk about something else?"

"Not if the blonde bimbo is involved in the conversation," says God.

Rafe sees an address he remembers. Marshal Dillon heads for Dodge. He tells his man Chester to hold down the fort.

Faye wants to know why someone got arrested. Nicole says she's working with at-risk teens and hangs up. She calls someone — guess who — and says they need to meet.

Carly suggests Vivian get out of town. Hope backs her up, "Get away before I do something I shouldn't."

Vivian tells hope, "If you trust her you could wind up with a knife in your belly." She leaves. Hope says she knows Carly didn't try to hurt Bo, "I know you have an alibi, but the way Vivian described the perp... it felt right."

Hope and Carly take it to the den. Hope serves tea and they seem to have declared a truce. Hope says she thinks Carly killing Lawrence was self defense, but what happened to Bo was nothing like that. Carly says Lawrence was cruel, but Bo isn't, "Or maybe you have a different view."

"Yes," says Hope, "I see everything from above him while I'm flying around on my broom. But Bo didn't... deliberately set out to hurt me."

"But he did hurt you," says Carly.

Bo is with Twinkie the cop turned babysitter at Ciara's camp. She says Ciara seems really happy with all the kids. Bo pays her. The Twinkster says, "You could have given this directly to my landlord. I'm a little behind."

"There's nothin' little about your..." Bo cuts himself off and says he will try to make sure she gets more hours at the station. Twinkie leaves and Ciara comes up. Bo asks about Ciara's mommy and her treasures.

Obstinate Ciara yells, "I won't talk about it and you can't make me!"

Nervous Doc Baker sits in his apartment, "I can't live like this." He flashes back to his call to Nicole and then to his last conversation with Hope. "You can't go. She needs you. Sigh."

Nicole meets EJ at the pier, "I want you to do something for me but you can't ask what."

EJ looks that statement up in the Guy Manual, "We have no idea what it means except that you are definitely talking to a woman."

Rafe wants off the wait-list so he can get on a plane that is already overbooked, "I'm a federal agent!"

"Thank God I'm Canadian," says the operator, "because I just hate to see the federal government waste good money." J. Edgar Loser gets exactly what he had before he played the 'federal agent' card — a morning flight.

Caroline thinks Sami doesn't seem happy. The great paradox is the only time Sami is happy is when she's unhappy. "I don't know if Rafe knows I exist."

Caroline says Rafe has a job to do, "To marry EJ as a consolation prize... that's no fair. If you'll excuse me, I have to go add the salmonella to tomorrow's chowdah."

Pub Guarantee: "We will gladly replace any inedible meal with food of of equal quality."

Sami turns to leave the pub and bumps into — guess who — Rafe.

Bo tires to convince Ciara to tell him about the treasures. Mentally, he's out of his league. He tells her he knows the treasures are wallets. He apologizes for not believing her before, "I think your mommy might need my help."

Ciara negotiates, "If I help you will you promise you and Mommy won't get divorced?"

Hope asks if Carly knew she was going to kill Lawrence before she butchered him. Carly evades. Hope says whoever tried to kill Bo had a plan. Carly says her killing Lawrence wasn't premeditated. Hope asks if she has regrets. Carly stares.

EJ tells Nicole, "Don't push me, all right?"

"All right," says Nicole, "But only because there is no cliff around here." Nicole reminds him he could be headed for prison. EJ says he's not giving her any more money. Nicole don' wan' no stinkin' money, "I need Marco for a while."

Rafe and Sami share an uncomfortable moment. They yammer about Johnny and the fingerprint machine. Rafe sends his love to the kids and tells Sami, "I miss you, too." He invites her to stay for coffee.

Sami is overjoyed, "That would be great, I... uh... have something to tell you. It's about me and EJ." They find a table. Sami stammers. She finally starts to tell him but Rafe gets a call and leaves to take it. Sami grits her teeth, "Some things never change."

EJ agrees to have Marco meet Nicole at her place. Nicole gives him a nasty 'thank you' and strolls off. EJ makes a call, "I'm ready. Bring it to the pier."

Baker packs. He remembers Hope telling him where her husband lived and that he left her, "He traded me in for a newer model."

"Things will get worse," says Baker, "A lot worse."

Carly says she was desperate and had to protect her daughter, so she sliced and diced. She thinks that saved her life and her daughter's.

Rafe comes back to the table. Sami stews like tomorrow's chowdah. Rafe asks what she was going to tell him. Sami hesitates and reminds him he's too busy for her and couldn't even silence his phone. Rafe whines, "Oh, give me a break." Perhaps Rafe should silence himself.

Sami 'splodes, "I will! A permanent one! Your calls are more important than anything else. I don't want to be part of your case load."

"Tell me what you do want," asks the blind man.

Carly says she still needs to find a justification for what she did, "But in the end, here in Salem we can rationalize any action, no matter how despicable." Hope thinks what Carly did was brave, "You're a regular Joan of Arc the way you carved the bowels out of an unarmed man." She tells Carly she needs some sleep. Carly leaves.

Rafe doesn't know when to quit, "Part of my case load... what does that mean?"

Rafe is lucky she doesn't have Carly's knife handy, "For one thing I would like to be more important than that call! His phone rings. Defiant Rafe answers. At least he controls himself and doesn't stick his tongue out at her. "Fantastic," screams Sami. Rafe tells her he has to go. "A pleasure," she yells, "I can't wait to do this again."

Brainiac has a great comeback, "Give my best to EJ and your other DiMera roomies."

Sami nukes...

"JERK!"

Outside, Rafe mumbles to himself, "I'm not saying anything to her until I find out what Nicole has on EJ." I see. So he'll find out about the time the weather report in hell calls for a hard freeze. He walks off. He actually kind of waddles. It's hard to walk with your head up your...

Bo says he can't say what will happen with him and Hope, but needs Ciara to tell him the truth. She tells him the treasures were wallets. He asks if she got them from Mommy.

Mother Hubbard Hope digs for her pills but but the cupboard, a.k.a her purse, is bare. She finally finds one, "Oh, thank God! I'll call the doctor first thing in the morning." She swills the pill.

Ciara tells Bo her mommy had the wallets under her bed, but now they are gone. Bo hugs her and says he believes her, "Do you know who the wallets belonged to?"

Carly finds Vivian at the pub. She demands, "Never pull Hope into our crap again! She has been through too much."

"What Hope has been through," says Vivian, "is you doing her husband."

Carly threatens, "If you don't back off Victor and I will throw you out of town on your bony little ass!"

Baker waffles, "Leaving is the only sensible thing to do. Guess I'm stickin' around until tomorrow."

Marco comes to Nicole's hovel. Nicole hands him a picture, "I want you to pay this guy a visit."

Sami walks up to the pier. She stops and nearly chokes when she finds Dork-J fishing and wearing a doofus cap with lures stuck in it. Sami's choking turns into a laughing fit. EJ, looking for all the world like Mortimer Snerd with a fishing pole, says he thought this would be fun to do together. He has brought Sami a pole, "I don't have any bait so I'm using foie gras for bait."

"And for brains," says Sami. Sami takes his dunce cap off.

EJ says he wants to show her he can be a regular kind of... dork, "Oh, look, you have a bite."

"That's one more bite than you have clues," says Sami. She looks out at her line, "I don't have a bite. When the fish bites, you know... like you get a tug on the line."

"Some fish are passive," says EJ, "Reel it in." Sami reels. EJ grabs the hook and takes a ring off of it. He takes a knee. Sami whimpers.

Vivian keeps taunting Carly who leaves, "Leave Daniel alone."

Vivian watches her go, "Hmmm.. I must've touched a nerve." Vivian leaves.

Ciara says the wallets belonged to Uncle Roman, Uncle Justin and Uncle Abe.

Bo asks, "You're absolutely sure?"

Ciara is sure, "Why did Mommy have them?"

Bo dunno, "But I'm gonna find out."

Hope sleeps. Hope wakes, "That's refreshing. Thank you Carly. It helped me more than I can say." She gets up.

Nicole gives Marco the address, "Do whatever it is you do."

"It helps to know the guys name," says Marco.

"Baker," says Nicole, "Dr. Richard Baker."

Fay gets up to go back to work. She bumps into Rafe, "Hello Fay. I have a few questions... about your daughter." He flashes his FBI card.

EJ puts the ring on Sami's finger. Sami says, "I thought you said we would wait."

"I was going to," says EJ, "and then when you asked to come and live in the mansion with me I realized something had changed. Something I never allowed myself to hope would happen. I love you. I've always loved you. I could never fully describe the place you hold in my heart. I want to spend all the Days Of Our Lives loving you and our children so I am asking you to let me love you. Will you marry me?

"Whimper-bawl."
