Dressing The Devil Up To Look Like Santa Claus

We begin today in the hospital where EJ's death vigil has turned into amnesia control. Rafe and Lexie argue about whether Sami should go into EJ's room with EJ thinking they are now married. Rafe tells Sami she doesn't have to do it and Lexie reminds Rafe it's none of his business. Sami decides to go in. As she heads to Rafe's room Lexie reminds her to remove her engagement ring. Sami removes it and Rafe stews.

Inside, EJ and Sami stare at each other. Sami flashes back to splattering EJ's brains brain cell all over the room. "I'm so happy to see you," says EJ.

Nathan paces at the pier and leaves a message for Stephanie, "Think I screwed up pretty bad."

Stephanie walks up behind him, "Me too. I screwed up everything. Wah-blubber-sob-honk-wah." Nathan hugs her.

Kayla is with Daniel. He's confused, "Why would you come here to talk to me instead of Chloe?"

"Who wants to talk to Clhoe, asks Kayla.

Carly and Chloe are together. The novelty of knowing Chloe is a back alley whore has worn off with Carly, and now Carly wants to know whom Chloe was a back alley whore with. Unfortunately, the list is too long, so they concentrate on her most recent, not to mention productive, escapade. Carly asks if the horndog was Nathan. Chloe suggests they sit down, "We need to deal with this right now."

Lexie stands with a clipboard. Rafe walks up, "Test results on EJ?" Lexie says that's what she's looking at. "Is he gonna make it, asks Rafe.

"I don't know," says Lexie, "There's a whole bunch of medical jargon in this report."

Sami asks if EJ is happy to see her. "Of course," says EJ, "I love you. You're my wife." The blood drains from Sami's face.

Chloe tells Carly how much her cooperation has meant to her. Carly says she knows it was the right choice. Chloe says she's grateful Carly has never pushed for the identity of the man. Well, be grateful no mo' ho. Carly says, "Who that man was is important. To my curiosity."

Lexie cries and says it's a miracle EJ has recovered. She turns to Rafe, "Or is that bad news for you?"

Rafe says he doesn't want EJ to die unless it's a really painful death, "And what does that mean for Sami and her kids?"

EJ says when he gets out of there he's going to take Sami on a honeymoon and get her some shooting lessons.

Phillip and Melanie get back to Maggie's house complaining about the dreadful job of house hunting. "Oh, well," says Melanie, "Nothing's perfect."

"We are," says Phillip. He moves in for a kiss.

Stephanie bawls. Nathan hangs on only because there's not much you can do to stop a runaway train. Stephanie flashes back to her switcheroo conversation with Kayla. She huffs, puffs and tells Nathan she and Kayla had a fight, "She's disappointed in me."

"I know that feeling, says Nathan.

Daniel and Kayla agree each other deserves the best. Unfortunately, Daniel got Chloe instead and Kayla got Stephanie. They also talk about Carly being Melanie's mom. "You don't like that, asks Daniel.

"It's Melanie I don't like," says Kayla, "No matter who her mom is."

Carly says she took Chloe's word that the guy is no one special. Of course he's not special, he's Phillip.

Sami asks EJ how much he remembers about what happened. He says he remembers exchanging vows. His machines beep and EJ goes into a raging fit, "Who did this to me?"

Phillip and Melanie are in bed. Melanie asks, "Does it get any better than this?"

Only if I'm with Clhoe or there are internet cameras around," says Phillip. He gets a message and discovers its about a house two blocks from Maggie's place. Melanie looks at the picture on his phone, decides it's perfect and dives in for a celebration.

Nathan says, "I know. Your mom's upset because I'm living with her little girl."

"That's not it," says Stephanie, "She realizes you're not the first guy to help yourself to the Stephanie buffet. It's hard to explain, but this is just something between me and Mom. I need to find her and clear things up."

Nathan stutters, "If you need me..."

"I always need you even if I don't deserve you," says Miss Self-Esteem 2010.

"You are the best thing that's ever happened to me," says Nathan, "But I'm still hoping my life will improve." Nathan offers to talk to Kayla. Stephanie declines, kisses and leaves.

Kayla says Carly doesn't exactly make her feel warm and fuzzy inside since she broke up Bo's marriage. Daniel reminds her Carly gave him his daughter. Kayla, "That's my point," says Kayla, "Giving you Melanie was one of the lowest things anyone could do to you. But I know you'll be a great dad."

"Twice over," says Daniel, "Chloe's pregnant." Kayla stares.

Chloe shows Carly the permit she just got to hold their wedding in the park. She says if the mystery guy were important she wouldn't be marrying Daniel out in the open for all the world to see. She says she doesn't want to look back, and asks Carly to help with that.

Lexie has given EJ a sedative. He starts to remove his wires and Lexie stops him. EJ says he wants Sami in there.

Outside, Sami tells Rafe what happened in EJ's room. Rafe asks, "What are you going to do?"

Sami blows her top, "I'm not going in there and pretending that I am married to EJ."

Lexie comes out of EJ's room, "Sami, you have to.... if you want to keep him alive."

Melanie thinks this is great and decides to cancel coffee with her mom. Phillip tells her not to cancel the meeting.

Chloe says thinking about what she did is the worst thing for both of them. All she wants is for her and Daniel to be happy and she knows Carly wants that too.

Daniel asks if Kayla has a problem with Chloe. Kayla says she knows Daniel is in love with her. They talk about some incident that happened when Daniel first worked with Carly. "Daniel chuckles, "Yeah, I read that chart and thought it said 'amputation' instead of 'appendicitis.' I thought it was really funny and so does that guy out there with one arm." Kayla contemplates the way hospitals make errors.

Lexie says EJ can't get agitated. Sami says she doesn't want to go along with everything EJ says, "So you're saying a spike in his blood pressure could cause a setback."

"Yes," says Lexie.

"Spike away, says Rafe. He says he doesn't see why Sami has to pretend. Lexie says telling EJ the truth right now is the same as murder.

"Telling the truth is always murder for me, says Sami. She goes back into EJ's room. Sami tells him not to think about being shot. EJ agrees and says he loves her. No answer. EJ asks her to stay there while he goes to sleep. He takes her hand and asks where her wedding ring is.

Sami knows, "I think I shoved it up your..."

Melanie comes into the pub and sees Nathan. She flashes back to his dream when she heard him say he loves her.

Carly and Chloe decide to drop things. Which means they continue to talk about it ad nausea.

Daniel gets a call and says he has to go to the hospital. He invites Kayla to the wedding. Kayla says if she's till in town she will be there. Daniel leaves.

Sami says she took her ring off when she was giving Sydney a bath. EJ asks when she was doing that, but Sami says she doesn't remember. EJ agrees it isn't important. He apologizes for putting her through this. He says he misses the kids and asks her to bring them in to see him.

Stephanie gets back to her apartment. Kayla asks if she's OK. Stephanie lies and says yes. Kayla says she wasn't mad at her, but was concerned. She says Daniel was just there but she didn't tell him about the tests, "We have to make sure someone actually changed the results."

Phillip is outside telling his agent to put in a bid, "Give them whatever they're asking, unless it's an arm and a leg. I'm running low on appendages." Chloe comes up, overhears and asks if they're buying a house. Phillip says yes, "It's in Maggie's neighborhood. We don't want too much privacy." Chloe tells him the wedding is next week and Phillip promises to be there, "Carly is still on board?"

"She's on board, but the ship is sinking, says Chloe.

"Does she know," asks Phillip, "Tell me she doesn't know."

Melanie tells Nathan about the house purchase, "It's close to Maggie." Nathan says he hopes things work out as Carly comes in. Nathan leaves. Carly senses something is wrong. "Is this a mother daughter thing," says Melanie, "Can you read my mind?"

"No," says Carly, "I don't read small books." Melanie tells her about Nathan's dream.

Sami tells them EJ wants to see the kids. Rafe booms, "Yeah, well, maybe he doesn't get everything he wants." Or maybe Rafe doesn't get everything he wants.

Sami says she is tired of hearing she has to do everything EJ wants or he will die, "Lexie, why don't you just give him a sedative." Unfortunately, that's a form of medication Lexie has never heard of.

"It gets worse," says Sami, "He noticed I wasn't wearing his ring. I threw them at him." Lexie says she'll call 'The Service' and have them look for the rings. She asks Sami to play along for a couple more days. Lexie leaves.

Sami turns to Rafe, "It's like a nightmare. It won't stop. Just like DOOL. Every time I pretend I'm married to him it's like I'm betraying you."

"It wouldn't be the first time you betrayed a guy, says Rafe. Sami says she doesn't have any choice but to bring the kids. They smooch and head to get the kids, if they can find them.

And... in an instant, they're back with the kids. They find Lexie. Sami puts on the newly found rings and heads back into EJ's room.

Kayla says hospitals make mistakes, "Especially Salem hospital. In fact it doesn't even think anything is a mistake unless the patient lives." So she figures how that might have happened at St. Mary's, and runs through that scenario, "Facts never change. Unless you write for DOOL. Computers change. There is no mystery... just a mistake that was fixed."

Stephanie concludes, "So Phillip isn't the father, Daniel is."

"Right," says Kayla, "So the best thing to do is not to say anything, which is advice we all wish you would follow no matter what the situation."

Melanie says what Nathan said was clear.

Carly asks, "How did that make you feel?"

"It made my heart jump a little bit," says Melanie, "but I'm married to Phillip. I don't love Nathan."

Carly asks, "Are you sure about that?"

Daniel finds Rafe. Rafe isn't exactly happy Daniel helped save EJ. Daniel reminds him, "A doctor's job is to save lives."

"Not at Salem Hospital," says Rafe, "But my job is to make sure a kidnapper gets what’s coming to him."

Sami and the kids are in EJ's room. Well, actually Sydney has cut out for her lion training session. EJ's happy he got to see her for a second, anyway. He shows Johnny the boo-boo on his head. Johnny asks when he's coming home. "Really soon," says EJ, "and we are going to be a family."

Melanie says she and Phillip are doing well and tells Carly about finding a house. She swears she's over Nathan. Carly says Nathan has issues and marrying Phillip was the right choice.

Chloe says Carly thinks she slept with Nathan, but she got Carly to back off, "If she finds out it was you, she'll grab hold and never let go."

"That's for sure," says Phillip, "She's a damn pit bull."

"I don't know about being a bull," says Chloe, "but she's certainly the pits. I didn't deny it was Nathan, but I didn't say it was him either. I thought about it and figured if I started ruling out guys she'd finally decide it's you and we'd be stuck."

"Amazing, says Phillip.

"What," asks Chloe, "That she thinks it's Nathan?"

"No," says Phillip, "That you thought about something."


"Trust me," says Chloe, "She's never gonna know that it was you." Translation: I wonder how Carly will react when she finds out it was Phillip.

Maybe Brady and Chloe should hook up again: They'd be the wino and the whino.

Stephanie thinks this is great and also thinks it means Daniel is the father. Kayla says it's just a theory, but they have to make sure, "And I know how."

Rafe says, "Anything is possible when you go to court with a DiMera. They're good at dressing the Devil up to look like Santa Claus."

Daniel asks, "How ugly are you willing to make this?"

"As ugly as a DOOL script in a backed up toilet," says Rafe, "See... I'm willing to do anything to protect Sami and her kids."

"Even shut up, asks Daniel.

"That's going a bit too far, says Rafe.


Sami prepares to leave. EJ asks Johnny, "Is it lonely in that big house without me?"

"No," chirps Johnny.

"Really," chuckles EJ, "Why is that?"

"Because we don't live there any more," says Johnny, "We live with Mommy and Rafe now."

CRASH!

The lead balloon that drops almost gives EJ another head injury.

EJ is certainly lucid for someone who has basically been a vegetable for a couple of weeks. Those leeches must have been miracle workers.

Well, be grateful no mo' ho.

As outspoken and up-front as Carly has been lately, I could almost see that as actual dialog. LOL

I read that chart and thought it said 'amputation' instead of 'appendicitis.' I thought it was really funny and so does that guy out there with one arm.

Hospital humor - always a knee slapper.

So the best thing to do is not to say anything, which is advice we all wish you would follow no matter what the situation.

To tell the truth that’s advice I wish almost ALL of these dweebs would follow.

Since DAYS is supposedly "speeding up" their storylines, I wish to heaven that they'd get to the end of this who-is-the-daddy-switcheroo s/l ASAP. I don't give a rat's posterior for any of these couples or most of the characters involved.

At least there was a Dimera there to liven things up - little Johnny. You can always count on three-year olds, God love 'em. Not having developed a self-censor yet they'll pipe right up and say whatever comes into their heads. LOL

Not unlike Prevuze who always pipes right up and says what's usually in OUR heads. Here's to the abolishment of self-censorship. Live long & prosper, Prevuze snark.

why wouldn't dr lexie KNOW that sending kids in there would be a bad ides - she should know, given theo has said things in the past - she could have easily explained to ej that kids just can't be in the icu - dah!

Kayla automatically assumes it was a hospital error? Well I guess when you live in Salem.....they don't even know how to deliver 2 babies at the same time and keep them from getting switched!

If you didn't watch Passions, let me be the first to tell you, This is a repeat of Sheridan and Antonio! Only this time It's Sami not being able to tell EJ or she'll kill him. Once again Dena's digging around in JER's trashcan....Doesn't she have any imagination of her own?? Wait, Sparkles the Orangutan has come to tell me, "No she doesn't."

Word verification: 'acksball'. That's my new DOOL inspired curse word.

Rafe needs to GO! Like yesterday. And, really, who didn't see Johnny spilling the beans about Mommy and Rafe?

Not only are the current "couples" dreary, the writing is even drearier.

I thought the monkey was Precious, not Sparkles, mot that it matters.

Is there a pool going on where everyone guesses when DAYS will be worth watching or when it gets cancelled??

"Lexie cries and says it's a miracle EJ has recovered. She turns to Rafe, 'Or is that bad news for you?'"...Bad news!?!? Isn't that a mild way of putting it??? I have a feeling Rafe doesn't share in the enthusiasm of the EJami section...

"Oh, well, says Melanie, Nothing's perfect."...
"We are, says Phillip."...He keeps forgetting that he's a couple limbs shy of being labeled DOOL's first human robot...

Nathan says, "I know. Your mom's upset because I'm living with her little girl."...for a doctor Nathan sure is dense! She's upset cause you're "doing" her little girl!!!

"Twice over, says Daniel, Chloe's pregnant." Kayla stares...unlike Nathan, Kayla's NOT dense...she can smell something fishy about the mother in the 'who's the baby daddy' s/l...

"Lexie comes out of EJ's room, Sami, you have to...if you want to keep him alive."...SAMI SHOT EJ!!! Oh, that's right! Lexie doesn't know that...

"'Because we don't live there any more,' says Johnny, 'We live with Mommy and Rafe now.'"...Someone on the DOOL writing staff sure has it out for EJ! A line like that in the script can put the guy into another coma...not to mention what it would do to his blood pressure!!!

So, EJ wants to take Sami on a honeymoon when he gets out of the hospital...where to? World's biggest indoor shooting range?? If they do end up going anywhere, I hope the hotel is equiped with a state of the art metal detector gate!!! EJ seems to be a bullet magnet on this show...lol!!!

Have a great Monday everyone!

"So you're saying a spike in his blood pressure could cause a setback." "Yes," says Lexie. "Spike away," says Rafe. Not only did this make me chuckle, it's the best advice of the day. Just walk in there, Sami, and tell EJ the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. If it's true that would upset him and die then we'll all be out of our misery. If he's faking and he really does remember he'll have to fake going into a coma again or put on his big boy pants and deal with it. I'm all for anything that might get this storyline moving!

Kayla says Carly doesn't exactly make her feel warm and fuzzy inside since she broke up Bo's marriage. Uh, no, Kayla, Hope did that pretty much all by herself.

I can't imagine Phillip buying a house in Maggie's old neighborhood. A little beneath a Kiriakis don't you think? And I bet Maggie will just be thrilled to have Melanie within a stone's throw. (Not).

Loved "A doctor's job is to save lives." "Not at Salem Hospital." and "Can you read my mind?" says Melanie. "No," says Carly, "I don't read small books."

Well, as always, I'm glad I read Prevuze to get me going on a Monday. Thanks!

To Maggie Mae, Yes, the Orangutan was Precious on Passions, but it is 'Sparkles' on DOOL. Apparently changing the name makes it completely different! :P

We should see the Sparkles scenes today I believe. Too bad she's already dead. The Vivian-Brady storyline is already great, the orangutan could really add some zest to the rest of the show.

"I'm so happy to see you," says EJ.

I thought the first words out of EJ’s mouth would have been “what the hell am I doing here?”

Nathan paces at the pier and leaves a message for Stephanie, "Think I screwed up pretty bad."

Yes you did Nathan. You got involved with Stephanie.

Carly says, "Who that man was is important. To my curiosity."

You think? Since Chloe is pregnant, elevated blood pressure isn’t a good thing. Dr. Carly missed OB/Gyn 101.

Lexie cries and says it's a miracle EJ has recovered. She turns to Rafe, "Or is that bad news for you?"

HIPAA, Lexie, HIPAA. Bad news? You bet! Since EJ had empowered Sami with his health care decisions, Rafe was hoping that he had also changed his will so that Sami would inherit EJ’s millions.

"That's my point," says Kayla, "Giving you Melanie was one of the lowest things anyone could do to you.

So true, so true.

"So you're saying a spike in his blood pressure could cause a setback."

"Yes," says Lexie.

"Spike away, says Rafe.

Rafe and Carly are on the same page.

He says he misses the kids and asks her to bring them in to see him.

EJ just woke up from a coma. How does he miss anybody?

Rafe booms, "Yeah, well, maybe he doesn't get everything he wants." Or maybe Rafe doesn't get everything he wants.

I think you’re on to something Prevuze. Anyway, they’re EJ’s kids. It’s really none of Rafe’s business.

Sami says she is tired of hearing she has to do everything EJ wants or he will die.

It would appear that Sami has stopped having independent thoughts, because everything she says sounds like it's coming out of Rafe's mouth.

"Facts never change. Unless you write for DOOL.”

Bravo Prevuze!!!!!!!!

Rafe isn't exactly happy Daniel helped save EJ.

Didn’t Agent Flip Flop just tell Lexie that he didn’t want EJ to die?

"We live with Mommy and Rafe now."

CRASH!

The lead balloon that drops almost gives EJ another head injury.

…and EJ’s blood pressure is somewhere around 240/100.

Kids really do say the darndest and most accurate things. Art Linkletter is smiling down upon Johnny. Have a great Monday everyone!

Sorry Leslie, but since Rafe is engaged to Sami IF they ever get married those will be his step children so yes, they are his business.

Okay, I'm not a huge Rafe fan either, but I've heard many posts from everyone saying that Rafe is too involved in Sami's kids lives, and tries to be there dad, but when you are with someone with kids isn't that supposed to be the way it is? I don't get it.

Step-parents should be involved in their step-kids lives but they also have to respect the actual parents of the children. ALL of Sami's children have living fathers who support and are involved in their children's lives. Rafe is NOT that father. So, it's great when he steps up in a pinch, and is kind to the kids, but he is not their parent; he's not even a step-parent yet. He gets to have input, mixed in with Sami's, but his opinion alone should in no way, shape, or form displace or outweigh EJ's or Lucas'.

Frankly, I don't understand how Sami allows it. She was always big on drawing a line for EJ when he had bonded with baby Allie. Lucas was her father and that was that. Sami is suddenly singing a different tune with Rafe and EJ's children, all but encouraging her kids to call Rafe "dad." It's disgusting.
