The Epitome Of Dull

Sami and Will are at the pier talking about her shooting EJ as Arianna listens in shock and awe.

Kayla shows up at Stephanie's place. Stephanie tells her Melanie found out about Chloe cheating and will probably stop the wedding.

Well, the wedding starts and Melanie butts in, "I need to talk to Chloe - alone."

Rafe hands in his resignation and his buddy wonders why he's doing it. Rafe says it's for the woman adolescent posing as a woman he loves.

EJ signs his release papers. Dr. Walters cautions him to be careful. "I'll be the epitome of dull says EJ. A guy comes in and serves EJ with and injunction against him seeing his kids.

Arianna watches as Sami talks about shooting EJ. Suddenly Sami and Will hear a noise. "What was that," asks Will. He and Sami go noise hunting but Rafe interrupts with a call and asks her and Will to meet him at the Hernandez Hovel. They leave.

"OMG," whimpers Arianna, "Sami shot EJ. What can I do?"

Maggie starts to go off and check on Melanie. Victor encourages her to butt out. Maggie doesn't like the way he's telling her what to do.

Carly watches... Daniel and Phillip wonder what's up.

Chloe defends herself as Melanie lectures her for cheating. It's a good thing virginal Melanie is perfect so she can fulfill her role as the chief of the Salem morality police. Chloe begs forgiveness. Unfortunately for Chloe, there are two types of people in this world. Forgiving people and Melanie.

Stefano is upset EJ got served papers. Lexie leaves as Stefano tells EJ this will have a good outcome. EJ says the recording can't be used in a criminal court, but can in a family court.

Sami and Will join Rafe in the Hernandez Hovel. Rafe confirms he resigned to protect Sami. Protect yes. Support no. "No one," says Rafe, "can ever find out Sami shot EJ."

Stephanie and Kayla talk about the switcheroo and her concerns Nathan might dump her. Kayla thinks things might be better if the wedding doesn't happen.

Chloe continues to whine and beg. Melanie continues to whine and accuse. She finally decides she'll keep the secret, "Because you broke my heart and I don't know what else to do." Melanie don' wan' no stinkin' thanks, though.

"I'd be in great shape if I ran like my mouth." - Melanie Layton Kiriakis

Lexie joins Stefano and EJ again and tells Stefano to calm down. Stefano backs off and leaves to get the car. Lexie asks about EJ's memory. "I remember everything," says EJ, "Well, I remember everything I can remember, anyway. Sami is doing what I would do. I kept her daughter from her so she's reciprocating." Lexie thinks that's not good for the kids.

Arianna sits on the bench outside the pub, hyperventilates and tries to figure out what to do. She decides to call EJ, but then changes her mind and decides to tell him in person.

Melanie tells Daniel everything is OK, "I just needed to get some things off my chest." No comment.

The ceremony proceeds. Daniel vows to remain the only guy in Salem who doesn't know Chloe pre-cuckolded him. Chloe promises to keep the sleazy affairs to a minimum. The JP makes the pronouncement.

Phillip turns to Melanie and says he guesses she didn't blab. Melanie says she didn't, "Which makes me just as bad as my mom."

Arianna runs into EJ's room to find it empty. Dr. Walters tells her EJ has left. The empty room tipped him off.

Lexie, EJ and Stefano are back in the rumpus room. Lexie leaves and EJ flashes back to Sami's rant at the wedding.

Back at the loft, Sami's on the phone with Caroline. Rafe and Will agree to watch out for each other as Sami comes back. Rafe reiterates he quit his job to (say it with him) be there for Sami. "It's hard to wrap my head around this," says Will.

"Right," says Sami, "I'm not going to let you do it, Rafe. So... it's a shame you already quit your job and we're penniless."

Kayla says Nathan loves Stephanie and wouldn't leave her. Stephanie worries about the what-if situation, though. Like what if he finally wakes up and realizes who it is he's living with.

Maggie is happy for Daniel. Victor hopes Daniel is ready for the heartburn to come his way. The crowd lines up to congratulate the couple. Daniel interrupts Carly and Melanie and asks if everything is OK.

Sami and Rafe are alone. Sami says she won't let him throw his career away. You know... the one he already threw away. Rafe says he loves her and that will pay the rent, buy the food, buy the gas and let them tuck a little savings away.

Stefano continues to insist EJ will get his kids back. EJ misses them and hesitates to say it, but misses Samantha, too, "I lost her and I caused me great pain. Especially the bullet she put in my head."

Nicole and Brady sit on the park bench and decide they need to deal with Vivian. Victor, of course overhears and Brady makes excuses. He says he's sorry Vivian wasn't' there. Nicole goes off to say goodbye to Chloe and Daniel.

Victor starts to chastise Brady for still being with Nicole as Maggie interrupts and judges. She asks Victor to take her home.

Melanie says she and Carly just had a disagreement. Carly says they should all talk about it later. And you can bet they will.

Nicole tells Clhoe she really dodged a bullet, unlike EJ.

Stefano thinks EJ's desire for Sami proves he suffered brain damage. EJ says a bullet is exactly what he deserved, "I ripped her heart out."

Stefano wonders if EJ deserves never to see his kids again, "As they are being raised by that murderous whore!"

Sami wonders how Rafe feels about her being an attempted murderer. "We're in this together," says Rafe.

"I totally wrecked our lives, didn't I," asks Sami.

"Well," says Rafe, "I'll agree our life is a train wreck."

Maggie invites Victor to stay for tea. Victor agrees, but says he doesn't want to overstay his welcome. Maggie suggests he just let the Nicole-Brady thing play itself out. Victor isn't sure it will.

Stephanie decides the baby probably is Daniel's.

Carly looks for Melanie. Phillip says she got a text from Daniel asking her to see him before he leaves.

Chloe and Daniel pack for the plane. Melanie arrives. She and Daniel talk alone. Daniel asks if Melanie and Chloe worked things out. Melanie lies and says they did. Daniel makes a sales pitch for Melanie and Clhoe's relationship. Melanie falls apart, "Dad..."

"Is there something you need to tell me," asks Daniel.

"Yeah," says Melanie, "There is. And I'll tell you as soon as November sweeps rolls around." She says she just wants him to be happy as Chloe walks out. Daniel leaves and we rehash their previous conversation. "If you ever hurt my dad again," says Melanie, "I'll destroy you." Daniel comes back and the happy couple leaves.

Nicole and Brady arrive back in Vivian's room. Nicole makes a sales pitch for marriage. Brady says he gets what she's up to. He's at least read that much of the Guy Manual. He moves in on her.

Maggie says if Victor thinks Nicole is going to screw up Brady's life, Victor should step in, and beat Nicole to the punch.

Phillip finds Melanie in Daniel and Chloe's apartment. She tells him the newlyweds have already left. "I've been through a lot in my life," says Melanie, "And I'm just now realizing sometimes you have to lie for love."

"Right," says Phillip, "And I realize sometimes you have to lie to keep your sorry cheatin' a** out of hot water."

Rafe continues to insist things will work out for Sami, and they need to focus on Sami and the kids and not the career he's tossed down the toilet, "I'd die for you." Of hunger, probably.

EJ vows to find a way to protect his kids. Stefano tells him to rest and leaves.

Lexie answers the door to find Arianna. She says she's there to see EJ. Lexie says it's not a good time, but EJ overrules. "What's going on," asks EJ.
