That Hinky Feeling

I have rediscovered civilization and was able to get the feed today. Before diving into that, however, here is a brief recap of yesterday's "lost" posting:

For guys only: Sami finally covers her amply revealed boobs. Not to worry — there are flashbacks.

For gals only: The flashbacks also reveal half-nekkid Rafe. Also, EJ is nattily attired in his ever so well-tailored gray slacks.

Sami asks to set a date for the wedding. EJ suggests tonight unless Sami's willing to have premarital sex, at which point any old date will do. Sami wants a big St. Luke's wedding.

Kate learns of the wedding plans and nearly has a stroke. Stefano is gracious but Sami doesn't buy it.

Stephanie gets an earful as she hides in Daniel and Chloe's closet. Daniel and Chloe discuss baby names, but somehow Phillip Jr. never comes up. Stephanie learns the paternity of the baby may be in doubt and that Phillip might be the father. After Phillip and Chloe leave, Stephanie comes out of the closet and proposes to Ellen DeGeneres.

Daniel and Melanie discuss Stephanie. Melanie announces she has an interview at St. Mary's and wants to know if Daniel is OK with that. Daniel tells her he's OK.

Melanie discovers Stephanie looking at data at St. Mary's.

Nicole speculates Rafe is drowning his sorrows because he lost Sami to EJ. Rafe claims he's celebrating because Arianna won't go to jail. That leads to a conversation about Brady.

Nicole lies to Brady and says she took the money from a developer she found out was cutting corners; she claims he bribed her to keep quiet. Brady gives her another chance. Either that or he's just primed for another booty call.

The lab has reconstructed Fay's CD. Tim gives it to Rafe. Rafe figures there are other CDs and thinks he has to find a copy before Sami marries EJ.

Victor and Brady discuss women/she-monsters. Translation: Nicole.

* * * * *

Phillip and Chloe are at the pier. Nathan walks up and asks if everything is OK. "It was until you showed up," says Phillip.

Daniel meets Carly at the Cheatin' Heart. He asks her opinion on a bracelet he has for Chloe and says he's excited about telling people he's going to be a father, "We can just relax and be happy now." Carly freezes up and gives him a look.

Stephanie sneaks into a computer at St. Mary's. Melanie discovers her, "What are you looking at."

Stefano interrupts Sami and EJ's makeout session. He thanks them for including Kate in the wedding plans. Will walks in, "So this train wreck is really going to happen?"

Nicole and Brady play grab and smooch. Brady backs off. Nicole finds a way to encourage him.

Rafe stands in the woods, "I'm sick of playing by the rules. Nicole will help me nail EJ whether she likes it or not." He pulls out his phone and makes a call, "This is Rafe Hernandez. You're surprised I had your number? Well, I have a few other surprises, too. Like the fact that I dialed it correctly after only five attempts. I need your help."

Stephanie jumps when she sees Melanie and clears the computer screen. Melanie asks why she did that, "What are you doing here?"

Sami says they thought it would be great for the kids to make it official. Will says she can sell herself on that, but not him. He leaves. Sami chases. She catches up with him out in the foyer. Will asks, "Are you going to wear a white dress? Are you going to spend all the Days Of Our Lives with EJ DiMera?"

Rafe tells the mystery person on the phone, "I want to spend a little time with you."

Chloe says she and Phillip are upset because Hope is in jail. They talk about money for the free clinic and Nathan leaves. "I can't stand that guy," says Phillip, "If he had figured things out he'd be running straight to Melanie right now."

Daniel thinks Carly seems upset. Carly says she blames herself for part of what happened to Bo and Hope. Daniel thinks there is more to it. Carly storms out.

Stephanie says she's at St. Mary's checking up on a patient because Daniel was involved in her case, and she needs the information for PR. Melanie tells her she has a job interview. Stephanie wishes her luck. Melanie leaves. Stefano huffs, "That's exactly what I did not need."

Brady's into it now. Nicole drags him onto the couch and clothes start to fly.

Rafe wanders and waits. Victor shows.

Sami says, "I see the hypocrisy of my life isn't lost on you." Will says he thinks Sami's relationship with Rafe could have worked because he's different.

Will leaves and EJ joins Sami, "Are you OK?"

"That was a walk in the park compared to telling my dad and grandma," says Sami. EJ offers to go with her to drop the bomb... uh... give them the news.

Nicole and Brady pant and paw. She suggests taking it to a more private place. Brady calls it off and tells her to get dressed. "What's going on," asks Nicole.

"Everything," says Brady. Not any more.

Roman is with Caroline at the pub. Sami calls, "Daddy, I have some news and want to come over and tell you."

Roman says, "When you call me 'daddy' you've either totaled the car or gotten a D in Spanish. Am I gonna hate this?"

"I'll be there," says Sami.

Rafe thinks Victor might enjoy seeing EJ get what's coming to him. Victor wants details about what Rafe is up to. Rafe plays it close to the vest. Victor thinks Rafe is wasting his time and starts to go.

Stephanie computes. Clickety-clack... clickety-clack... clickety-clack...

ACCESS DENIED!

Stephanie whines, "I have to find out who's baby Chloe is carrying. Think... think... think... Clickety-clack... clickety-clack... clickety-clack... Got it!" She makes a call.

Phillip and Melanie are at the run-down free clinic. "I can see why this clinic is free," says Phillip. Melanie says sister Anne wasn't there for the interview. Phillip says he doesn't want her working in an unsafe neighborhood so he doesn't want to leave. Nathan walks in. Phillip gets upset that they will be working together.

"Do you have a problem with that," asks Nathan.

"No," says Phillip, "I just had a meltdown for no reason."

Chloe meets Daniel at the Cheatin' Heart. Daniel gives her one of her birthday gifts. She opens it to find a silver cup and spoon, "That's cheesy," says Chloe, "This is for the kid. It's my birthday."

"It's the first present from our baby's dad," says Daniel.

"No," says Chloe, "Phillip hasn't given him anything yet." Daniel thinks Chloe seems distracted, but she tells him She's just happy. She goes to the women's room. Sister Anne comes in. Daniel sees her, "What's a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?"

Sister Anne says says she got a call about a fifteen year old girl in labor and came there looking for her mother. She also says she wants to apologize to Melanie for missing her appointment. Daniel suggests sister Anne stay and meet his fiancee.

Roman and Caroline speculate about what Sami has to tell them. She and EJ walk in. Caroline doesn't want to talk in front of EJ.

Rafe calls Victor back. He says he has a theory. "Oh," says Victor, "You mean that hinky feeling law enforcement types get when they have nothing?" Rafe says he's 99% sure EJ hired Anna to kidnap Sydney. He thinks he did it for revenge and changed his mind. "What a putz," growls Victor.

Rafe says, "I need Nicole to roll on EJ."

"Nicole pretty much rolls for anything in pants," says Victor, "Let me guess... she doesn't share your interest in seeing justice done."

"I thought you could help."

"What's in it for me," asks Victor.

Ian shows up at Stephanie's apartment. She thanks him for making time for her. Ian says he hasn't seen her since the hospital benefit dance when she was with Phillip. "Phillip and I are all over now," says Stephanie, "I have a favor to ask."

Chloe comes out and sees Daniel and sister Anne sitting across the room, "I am so dead." Brain dead, anyway.

Carly comes into the Cheatin' Heart. She sees Dan and Anne sitting across the room and then turns and sees Chloe the frozen deer staring into the headlights.

Phillip says he's just surprised to see Nathan will be working with Melanie. Melanie assures him he has nothing to worry about.

Sami stammers, "I've decided to accept EJ's proposal."

Sami assures Caroline and Roman she's happy and wants them to be happy for her. Roman wants to know if she's sure.

"I'm sure," insists Sami, "Or I wouldn't have said yes."

Roman is blunt, "Well then, you really have lost your mind." EJ steps in and says he understands how they feel, but assures them he and Sami love each other.

Rafe says he knows about Victor's arrangement with Stefano. He wonders if EJ buys into it. "You still haven't said what this has to do with me," says Victor.

"If I can put Nicole away," says Rafe, "she can't get her hooks into your grandson."

Will interrupts Stefano in the rumpus room. Stefano says he knows Will isn't happy about EJ and Sami's engagement. He says he had trouble accepting it at first, but has changed his mind and part of that reason is Will, "My son and your mother have made mistakes, but look at the children they've created. I want to be part of your future, William. I believe in the power of family. And if the power of family doesn't work, I believe in the power of violence." Will sees the light.

EJ reminds Roman he has a daughter too and says he can understand what Roman feels. He says he has grown up a lot, "I'm ready to be the man Samantha deserves."

"You don't have to be that big of a louse," says Roman. He asks to talk to Sami alone.

Sami says she didn't come there asking for his permission or blessing, "I've made my decision." EJ and Sami leave to get a marriage license.

Rafe says if Brady finds out what Nicole did he'll dump her. Victor says he won't help, "But Nicole likes to make everyone think she is tough as nails. She has an Achilles Heel. Get to that and you'll get to her."

Brady rants about his relationship with Nicole, "We need each other and get together only to satisfy that need."

"You're making it sound like I'm a drug," says Nicole.

"That's what we are to each other," growls Brady.

"Our relationship could have worked if you hadn't found out about the money," says Nicole. Brady pours himself a stiff drink. Nicole gasps, "You're drinking!"

"Yes," he admits, "But I'm not snorting cocaine up my nose... you don't happen to have any around, do you? Drinking isn't the problem. You're the problem and one way or another I'm going to kick the habit."

Carly surveys the situation. She shoos Chloe into the back room and goes over to Daniel and Anne's table. She tells them she forgot her glasses. Sister Anne says she has to get back to work and leaves.

Carly apologizes for the meltdown she had earlier. Daniel gets a call. It's an emergency and he says he has to go, but asks Carly to check on Chloe for him.

"That was close," mumbles Carly, "Just one more day." Translation: That's a day in DOOL time. We could find out in five seconds, or we might have to wait for November sweeps. She calls Chloe and tells her she can stop cowering in the bathroom.

Stephanie asks, "Do you still work for that software company?"

Ian says he does. He asks if this is really about her computer, "Boot it up... if you can."

Stephanie kicks her computer, "It didn't turn on, but maybe that's because I'm not wearing boots." Stephanie tells him her problem is complicated, "Are you in? Are you going to help me?" Ian looks at a picture and asks if Nathan is her boyfriend. "Is that a problem," asks Stephanie.

"It depends on what you want me to do," says Ian.

Victor asks if Rafe knows about Nicole's porn history and asks if that is a problem for him. He says it was her dad who launched her career, "Fay sure can pick 'em." Victor says he thinks Nicole is looking for a father figure, "Convince her you are that white knight and you can help her. She will give you what you want. By the way, we never had this conversation."

Nicole insists Brady just can't throw her out. Brady says he didn't buy the load she gave him about where she got the money, "I'm done listening to you." He storms out.

A bum comes into clinic, "I need something." Melanie tells him the doctor isn't there at the moment. The bum grabs her, "Don't tell me no, bitch!"

Stephanie tells Ian she needs to access hospital records, "It's for a paternity test."

Ian misunderstands, "Stephanie, you have a right to those results."

"Ian... I'm not the mother. Are you going to help me or not?"

Chloe and Carly are at the dock. Chloe thanks her for her help. Carly says, "I'll pick you up first thing in the morning."

Danny walks up, "What are you two up to now?"

Brady meets Phillip at the pub. Brady orders a drink, "What are we celebrating?"

"You don't usually drink," says Phillip.

"The booze is not my problem," says Brady, "And I have to swear off everything that is."

EJ comes in to see Stefano. Stefano advises him to get himself under control before he sees Sami again, "You're acting smug. Be careful. Hernandez might not be deterred." He picks up a megaphone and points it toward the door, "What would happen if he or Samantha found out you arranged the kidnapping?" Sami comes in.

Nicole hits the Cheatin' Heart. She puts the incriminating CD in her purse, "Dammit EJ... I thought I would finally have you when I got this confession. Instead, it just ruined everything good I had in my life."

Rafe looks in and sees Nicole crying, "Well, Victor, you said to strike when she's vulnerable..."
