Bonded Over Booze

Vivian lies in the sarcophagus and contacts Gus. Gus thinks he's hearing things.

Daniel is with Maggie talking about Melanie. Phillip joins them. Maggie gets a call and leaves. Daniel and Phillip talk wedding. Daniel wants to talk about Phillip's relationship with Clhoe.

Meanwhile Nicole disses Melanie to Chloe.

And the ever-effervescent Melanie confronts Nathan about Chloe cheating on Daddy.

This isn't about a dysfunctional family, it's a dysfunctional town.

Stephanie and Kayla talk about Stephanie's future with poor Nathan. Kayla tries to give some sane advice, but you usually have to give that to a sane person.

Nathan bobs and weaves and tells Melanie to talk to Chloe about this. Melanie don' wanna. So Nathan comes clean and says Chloe cheated on Daniel.

Maggie joins Phillip and Daniel and says she has to run. After she leaves Daniel and Phillip go back to the Chloe thing. Clueless Daniel is so glad Phillip was (say it with him) there for Chloe. Boy, was she ever there for him.

Nicole tells Clhoe things are getting better for her, but she withholds details. Chloe tells Nicole her parents can't make the wedding, and frets about other things that might go wrong. Nicole reassures her. Hugs.

Victor asks, "You and Nicole have what...bonded over booze? She's going to lead you straight to hell and watch you burn." Brady insists he's in control, but won't say more, except to tell Victor he would approve of the project, "I'm using Nicole." Victor should be able to relate to that.

Vivian begs Gus to listen to her. Gus tries to drink away the voices in his head.

Kayla says Adrienne told her about Stephanie's birth control scheme. Stephanie gets defensive and Kayla gets overbearing motherly. Stephanie admits she made a mistake. Kayla lectures, "You are a beautiful, educated, honest tramp but suddenly feel like you have to cheat to get a man. What is going on with you?"

Nicole leaves. Chloe decides nothing will go wrong. Translation: Three mile island decided that years ago and we all know what happened.

Daniel and Phillip talk about life and babes. I mean babies. Phillip wishes him happiness, not to mention continued cluelessness.

The poo hits the fan in Nathan's apartment. Melanie falls apart and questions him about how he heard and how much he knew and why he helped hide the lie.


Gus agonizes as Vivian calls. Augustine FINALLY figures it's coming from a speaker. Vivian is sooooo relieved.

Victor likes the idea of Brady being in control of something, but advises him it's not a good idea to have Nicole around. "She's just a tool," says Brady. Frankly, Brady's kind of a tool himself.

Daniel and Nicole arrive. Victor leaves to tell Henderson hide the silver. Daniel speculates Brady and Nicole are "together."

Stefano has a little tantrum as Kayla asks if Nathan knew if she was trying to get pregs. She says he did. Kayla asks her to have confidence in who she is, a doormat with no self respect. Make that a loose doormat with no self respect.

Kayla leaves as Adrienne arrives. Stephanie says she thought she could trust Adrienne.

Phillip shows up at Chloe's place, "We almost wrecked our lives." Instead they just made a train wreck.

Melanie's sanity has left the building. She lectures Nathan, "I thought I meant something to you."

"You do," says Nathan, "You're my backup sex-buddy in case Stephanie and I break up."

Stephanie gives Adrienne both barrels. Adrienne says telling Kayla was necessary. She says she was worried and thought Stephanie needed a mother. Stephanie needed a shrink.

Victor finds Maggie in the park. He tells her he has an issue with Brady and he thinks Brady's life is a mess, "He's gotten back with Nicole."

"OMG," says Maggie, "It's more serious than I thought."

Brady and Nicole tell Daniel they are back together. Brady gets a call and leaves. Nicole thanks Daniel for coming through for her when she stayed with them. She congratulates groom-to-be Daniel and leaves.

Brady comes back and Daniel tells Brady he thinks Nicole is bad news. Brady insists he has things under control.

Vivian tells Gus she's been kidnapped and is in the sarcophagus, "You've got to get me out."

Stephanie tells Adrienne they aren't friends anymore and leaves.

Brady tells Daniel his relationship with Nicole is just a work thing. Daniel leaves. Nicole wanders in. Brady tells him things are cool and they are in the perfect place to monitor Vivian.

Vivian tells Gus Brady put her in the sarcophagus, "It's worse than an Edgar Allen Poe story. Worse even than watching DOOL."

Chloe wants the past to stay in the past. That way the future can be the future, the present can be in the present and DOOL can be on whatever time it's on, which nobody has ever been able to figure out.

Roman Brady: Wishes he needed a cure for erectile dysfunction.

Nathan says his feelings for Melanie are... friendly. He says what happened with Chloe is between her and Daniel. Melanie wonders if the baby is Daniel's. She points out that Chloe cheated on Lucas and now has cheated on Daniel. Ya think maybe we're seeing a pattern here? "I'm going to find out the truth before my dad makes the biggest mistake of his life," says Melanie, "and I don't have much time. And you are not my friend. You are not the man that I... I don't know who you are."

Phillip and Chloe talk about being friends and family. Kissin' cousins, so to speak.

Stephanie shows up and Melanie tells her she has a few questions about Clhoe's affair. She tells Stephanie even tho she's a bitch she deserves somebody with a spine and leaves.

Nathan tells Stephanie this is all his fault.

Maggie says Nicole won't be any help to Brady right now. Maggie thinks Brady breaking up with Arianna made Brady more reckless, assertive and headstrong. Victor worries that Nicole will destroy him and he may go back to drugs. Maggie thinks there are two ways to approach this. Interfere and alienate Brady or step back and be ready to butt in if necessary. Maggie, of course, is the butt in type.

Gus wonders if Vivian doesn't deserve this. Vivian reminds him Maggie was a threat to her marriage, "Are you gonna get me out of here or not?"

Maggie realizes Victor isn't going to stand back and wait. Victor asks her to keep an eye on Brady too. Maggie agrees and Victor leaves.

Brady escorts Nicole into Vivian's old room. Uh... Perhaps "escort" isn't a good word to use around Nicole.

Vivian begs Gus not to leave her. "You've made your bed, now you have to lie in it," says Gus. Vivian throws a fit.

Stephanie tells Nathan Melanie is wrong. She says it wasn't Nathan's job to be a tattletale. Nathan worries that Daniel and Chloe's marriage will blow sky high. Stephanie promises things will work out.

Phillip finds Kayla at the dock. They talk about Melanie and Stephanie. "Stephanie found out who you were. It's just a matter of time before Melanie does, too," says Kayla.

Daniel is at the hospital, but remembers he has to go back to the apartment.

Chloe dresses for the wedding as Melanie shows up.

Chloe answers the door, "Hey, Melanie, what are you..."

SLUG!
