Game Over

Kate and Stefano come into the rumpus room as preparations for the wedding are in progress. EJ follows. "What is all this," asks Stefano. EJ tells them this is all for the pending nuptials.

Birthday girl Chloe sleeps. A rose comes into the picture. Chloe wakes and goes into an uncontrollable sneezing fit due to her severe allergy to rose pollen. Daniel wishes her a happy birthday. Smooching ensues.

Stephanie and Nathan jog and stop at the pier. Melanie comes up to them and completely freaks out, "This is a nightmare! I just found out Phillip is the father of Chloe's baby!"

Stephanie is asleep on the couch. She wakes from the nightmare and pries herself off the ceiling. She calls in and asks if Nathan is up. He says he's up. Stephanie calls Ian and says Nathan is leaving and asks him to come over and work his computer magic. She gets off the phone as Nathan comes out and announces he doesn't have to go to work today. Oh, the drama!

Phillip comes down and reminds Melanie they made plans to go to Chicago. She says they have to go to Chloe's birthday party instead. "Bad idea," says Phillip.

Kate and Stefano are astonished that Sami and EJ are getting married today.

Upstairs, Sami has selected a tarnished beige outfit to wear. She inspects it as she flashes back to seeing Rafe and Nicole fused together the day before, "I'm doing the right thing. I know I am... and if I keep saying it over and over, I might even convince myself it's true."

Nicole wakes. Rafe is across the room. Nicole asks, "So I guess our night of snuggling is over?" Rafe just sits there "what is it," asks Nicole, "The suspense is killing me." Elliott Mess holds up the incriminating CD.

Daniel and Chloe smooch. He promises the best birthday ever. Chloe flashes back to her conversation with Carly and remembers they agreed to meet. Daniel realizes she's zoned out and asks what's gong on.

Rafe drones, "You are busted, Nicole. Game over. What, no witty comeback?" Nicole leaps out of the bed like she's shot from a cannon, rushes over and flings herself at Rafe and the CD, "You SOB!"

Chloe says she's just feeling a bit queasy. Daniel announces he's taken the day off, "You're stuck with me. That is the first of a few big surprises I have planned." Smoke pours from Chloe's ears as she tries to think of something. She says she wants to open a present. Daniel agrees. He leaves to get it. Chloe panics and looks for her phone.

Stefano asks why EJ is dong this so suddenly. Kate jumps in, "Is Sami pregnant?" EJ says no and Kate wonders why the big rush. "Actually," says EJ, "If there really were a rush we'd move things on a bit. Instead, this whole episode will be a bunch of filler to get us to some big Friday-ending and if we're lucky things will pick up next week."

Will is with Sami. He lectures, "When were you gonna tell me, Mom?" Sami says they just decided to rush into things last night. Will wonders what the big hurry is. Sami says there is no hurry but there is also no reason to wait.

Rafe and Nicole struggle. Rafe finally shoos her off and Nicole rants about his lies the night before. Rafe says he talked to her mother and that's when he figured the CD was important. Another one of J. Edgar Loser's brilliant deductions. He holds up a recorder, "You're going to tell me everything you know. Right now, on tape. Even though this is a digital recorder."

Stephanie thinks Nathan should go get an x-ray. Nathan objects, says he's feeling better and also says he's just glad Melanie didn't get hurt in the attack. Stephanie won't let it go. She practically pushes Nathan out the door. As he leaves Stephanie says, "Love you." Nathan speaks volumes with his silence.

Stephanie sits alone and ponders, "Yeah, Melanie didn't get hurt yesterday but she will if this baby is Phillip's. And you will (say it with her) be there for her to pick up the pieces won't you, Nathan?"

Melanie suggests going to the party and then to Chicago. Phillip don' wanna. He thinks there is something she's not telling him. Melanie says Daniel finally convinced Chloe to tell people she's pregnant and she doesn't even seem excited, "You know why, don't you?"

"Yeah," says Phillip, "I do."

Carly arrives and asks what happened to Chloe, "We're supposed to be at St. Mary's. I thought you were anxious to do this."

Daniel picks the perfect moment to walk in, "Anxious to do what?"

Will wonders if other family members know. Sami says she's not telling them until after it's a done deal because doesn't want people trying to talk her out of marrying EJ. She asks Will to be there and walk her down the aisle and give her away. "Give you away," asks Will, "That's your father's job, but you don't want to tell him because he might try to talk you out of it. People usually get married because they love each other. But I guess you and EJ have your own definition of love."

A dead horse lies in the middle of the rumpus room. EJ and Stefano continue to beat it as they argue about EJ and Sami's big rush to get married.

Nicole snorts, "You want me to go on tape and tell you where to stick that thing?"

"You can say nothing," says Rafe, "It's your choice. I will listen to the CD. And all in all if there is proof of a crime you will be an accessory and you will go back to prison. If you help me I will do what I can to keep you from going back there."

Nicole whines, "Don't you see, this isn't just about prison. It's something much worse."

Daniel tells Carly he has a day off. Carly reminds him she and Chloe have arranged for facials. Daniel gets a call and leaves. Chloe asks Carly to go get the results. Carly leaves. Daniel comes back and hands Chloe the bracelet. Chloe opens it and gushes about it. Daniel kisses her and tells her it is the first of many presents. Chloe says she has a birthday wish and only Daniel can make it come true.

Sami says, "I hope someday you will understand. I want this. EJ loves me and he needs me. And I want to stick it to Rafe for throwing himself at Nicole." Will says he hopes they are happy together and agrees to walk her down the aisle. Hugs. Will leaves. Sami bawls.

Stefano can't let it go. He continues to badger EJ about the big rush as EJ wonders where judge Fitzpatrick is. Stefano goes to give her a call. EJ seethes, "Nicole, you'd better not screw this up for me this time."

Rafe wants to know what's worse than going to prison. Nicole says she's terrified of what EJ and his family might do to her and asks him to protect her. Rafe says he'll try. Nicole also asks for immunity. "I'll try," says Rafe.

Nicole falls apart, "Trying isn't enough." Her phone rings, "OMG, it's EJ." Rafe orders her to answer. Nicole does. EJ tells her he wants to make sure she's OK. "No," says Nicole, "I'm not."

Phillip says he's sure Chloe is a little worried about the baby. Melanie says Chloe has to stop being so pessimistic. Phillip agrees. He also agrees to bag the trip to Chicago and go over to Daniel and Chloe's apartment to help celebrate the big birthday.

Ian arrives. He and Stephanie discuss their little caper as Nathan comes back, "Ian, what's going on?"

Chloe says her wish is for Daniel always to remember this moment, "Remember it tomorrow, a week from now, a year... for all the Days Of Our Lives. I want to do right by you and be worthy of you. About the baby... I want us always to be a happy family and would give anything for us to be that so you have to promise to know this is exactly what I want."

"I promise," says Daniel.

"Then I can't ask for anything more," says Chloe, "Except maybe to catch a break with the test results." Hugs.

Nicole says she knows EJ has heard about her and Brady breaking up. EJ has and says he just doesn't want her going off the deep end. Nicole and the deep end parted ways long ago.

"I have five million," says Nicole, "How could I not be fine. And how are you?"

"I'm good," says EJ, "We will talk soon. And maybe next time it will be a conversation that holds the viewer's interest."

Nicole hangs up and turns to Rafe, "Let's make a deal."

Stephanie says Ian left his flashlight there and came over to pick it up. Nathan says he forgot his phone. He digs in the couch, finds it and leaves.

Ian asks, "So, do you think he's the father?"

"No," says Stephanie, "Not him. He' wouldn't do that. He's loyal and honest... not like someone else I used to trust who is about to ruin my life."

Phillip and Melanie arrive at Daniel and Chloe's place. Phillip takes Chloe aside and she tells him Carly will call any minute with the results. The viewers sit on pins and needles. The pain is the only thing keeping them awake.

Carly arrives at St. Mary’s. She introduces herself to a nurse and asks for Sister Anne.

Lexie arrives with Johnny and Allie.

Meanwhile, Lucas wanders the streets of Hong Kong trying to figure out where Allie went.

EJ tells Will he's glad he's a part of this. Stefano and Judge Fitzpatrick walk in. Fitz asks EJ, "So where is your bride?"

"I'm here." Sami stands at the door in her gown looking as if someone poured her into it and she forgot to say 'when.'

Rafe talks into the recorder and announces this is a statement by Nicole Walker who has agreed to do this in return for immunity, which Rafe, of course has no authority whatsoever to grant. Nicole blabs. "I was afraid EJ was framing me and I got into the DiMera mansion without being detected. I was trying to find something to prove I had nothing to do with the muggings. That's when EJ and Stefano came in, so I hid. I taped their conversation and you can listen for yourself." Rafe inserts the CD.

Ian computes, "So this isn't about Nathan?"

"It doesn't matter," says Stephanie, "I just need the results."

"It does matter," says Ian, "This is a felony." He gets cold feet.

Stephanie begs him to do it anyway, "It's complicated and if the test results come back negative there will be serious trouble."

"With Nathan," asks Ian.

"No, with Wayne Newton," says Miss Sarcasm, "YES... with Nathan."

"OK," says Ian, "I'll do it. I like you, I owe you and have nothing better to do today." In Salem, a day without committing a serious crime is like a day without sunshine.

Ian sits and computes. He tells Stephanie there is a problem getting on the site as Stephanie gets a call from Nathan. Just as Stephanie picks up Ian announces, "I'm in!"

Nathan asks, "Is that guy Ian still there?"

Chloe blows out her single candle (representing her mental age, not physical), then they all go over so she can open her gifts. She opens the gift from Melanie. It's some kind of a thingie and Chloe just adores it. Melanie says Phillip helped with the funding, "I want us to be friends, Chloe... not just friends but I want all of us to be a family. A real family. Completely dysfunctional, but real." Chloe cries.

Apparently Sydney has a fever and won't be attending the ceremony, but Johnny wants her there. Sami says she does too. The Fitzeroo calls for the ceremony to start.

Rafe listens to the CD and hears EJ say, "If Samantha ever finds out I lose everything."

Chloe bawls. Phillip declares, "Those are tears of joy."

"Yeah," says Chloe, "I'm just really happy and want us to always be like this."

Carly asks if the nurse spoke with Sister Anne and if she knows whether Sister Anne has the test results. The nurse says she did talk to her and the results are in.

Stephanie says Ian is still there helping with her computer. She asks to call Nathan back and gets off the phone. "I have the results," announces Nathan. He turns the computer screen so Stephanie can see.

Stephanie covers her mouth and gasps...

"OOOHHH MMMYYY GGGOOODDD!"

Rafe listens. Suddenly, the CD stops. Nicole says, "It must've stalled. It's broken."

"The hell it is," says Rafe.

Sami marches down the aisle. Will gives her away. Fitz starts the ceremony.

Mr. Fixit has gotten the CD working again. He listens as Stefano talks about Anna, "She knows what would happen if anyone ever found out that you paid her to kidnap Sydney."

"That's all I need," says Rafe.

"And then you get Sami back," says Nicole, "That's what you've been working towards, right? You did this all for her."

"Yeah. I did," says Rafe, "It's all for Sami."

And how's that workin' out for ya, Rafe?
