Several Orangutans And A Couple Of Wombats

I have to do a shorter recap this morning. Not only am I on the road, but I have to get to an early breakfast meeting. I think they're having it at breakfast because the food is cheaper, the room is cheaper and they don't have to serve alcohol, so no one will enjoy it, but we'll all sit there and pretend we do. Of course it also means Brady Black won't show up.

Mortimer cooperates with Brady and arranges to move "Sparkles" as Nicole watches.

Victor visits "Isabella" at the crypt as Vivian rants.

Lexie informs Stefano that EJ is awake. He tells Kate and says he's going to the hospital.

Now that Johnny has blabbed about Sami living with Rafe, EJ wants to talk about Sami's living situation. Sami bobs and weaves, and then Lexie interrupts for tests. Sami scrams.

Sami has had enough kid time, so she dumps Johnny on Maxine, who apparently is not only a nurse but a nursemaid as well. Rafe senses something is wrong. Sami announces that Johnny shot off his mouth about her living situation. Lexie joins in and tells Sami she has to fix things or EJ will have a brain hemorrhage, and that would be icky.

Sami goes back in. EJ insists they are married and will be living in his house.

Brady gives Mortimer an address to send "Sparkles'" remains.

Chad shows up at the hospital and tells Lexie he's pulling for EJ.

Kate hangs back as Stefano leaves for the hospital. She worries Stefano will find out she drove Sami to shooting EJ.

Sami tells EJ she and the kids are staying at the pub because she hates the mansion, and doesn't like being there alone. Also, it gives her access to Caroline's free babysitting service because God forbid she should spend time with her kids. EJ freaks as Sami tries to settle him down and promises they will be together. EJ can't wait.

Nicole approaches Mort after EJ leaves. She showers him with praise and presses for information on Brady. Mort recognizes her as a reporter, but Nicole denies. After Mort leaves Nicole wonders what's going on.

Brady taunts Vivian. He tells her Victor is glad she's gone but Vivian insists Victor will rescue her.

EJ settles down and begs Sami to stay. She kisses him which, of course, is Rafe's cue to barge in.

Nicole goes back to the Kiriakis mansion. Victor finds her and attempts to kick her out. Nicole asks about the pet situation there and wonders if there are any orangutans running around the place.

Kate frets. She wonders if this would be a good time to tell Stefano about his long lost son Chad.

Back at the hospital, Chad tells Stefano he's praying for EJ. Stefano gives him the bum's rush. "I'll can the praying, then," says Chad.

EJ wonders why Rafe is there and also wonders what they are both keeping from him.

Brady continues to taunt. Delusional Vivian tells him his scheme will go up in flames. Brady says Victor will kill her when he finds out what she did.

Victor tells Nicole, "Oh yes, around here we have several orangutans and a couple of wombats." He tells her to get out and leaves. Henderson suggests Nicole check the crypt.

Stefano joins the party in EJ's room, where workmen are tearing down a wall to accommodate bigger crowds. EJ says he loves Sami as she and Rafe leave.

Kate changes her mind about telling Stefano about Chad. She gets this epiphany when she remembers Stefano hates him. Kate has called Chad and asked him to come to the mansion. He arrives.

EJ tells Stefano Sami has been his savior. Stefano tells EJ he must learn the truth.

Rafe reminds Sami she made the decision to pull the plug on EJ, so in a sense she's already made the decision to kill him. You can't argue with logic like that. Sami says this situation is torturing her. She falls apart and Rafe kisses her, giving the Safes equal time, but not helping the case of chapped lips she'll have after serial-kissing half the guys in town.

Brady tells Vivian she's clinging to false hope. Vivian continues to cling and begs him to have some compassion. He has scotch instead. Nicole eavesdrops as Brady tells her she brought it all on herself.

Kate offers Chad a job at DiMera Enterprises. Chad is skeptical that Stefano will want him there and then figures Kate has amorous intentions. Kate assures him she's happily married. She wants to say it with her be there for him.

Stefano walks on eggs as he talks to EJ about Samantha.

Rafe and Sami go back to the pub where Caroline offers them Chinese food. Dim Sum for dim bulbs.

Victor finds Brady and tells him Nicole was there.

Nicole goes to the crypt and figures Sparkles was Isabella's and thinks Brady is digging her up to be with Izzy. She finds an earpiece on the floor.

Vivian gets weak and prays for someone to discover her. Nicole listens and her jaw hits the floor.

Chad says he'll think about the job and leaves. Kate vows to make this work come hell or high water. Translation: Forget the high water.

Sami sits on Rafe's lap – a little known tradition for couples eating Dim Sum – and Rafe says he has a surprise for her.

EJ vows not to lose Samantha as long as she keeps believing he thinks they are still married, "I remember, Father. Everything."

OK, if ya didn't see that one coming, please speak up...
