Frazzled

Unfortunately, we've lost the DOOL satellite, perhaps permanently. While everyone who uses the feed is continuing to assess the situation, I am, in conjunction with Barb at the Salem Spectator, asking for a Canadian reader, or someone in the US who can receive the Canadian broadcast, to help by recording and uploading the show. That way, our blogs will remain at least a bit ahead in the US. If you think you can help Prevuze and other blogs, please contact me at prevuze@gmail.com. Thanks.

We start out today's episode back in the park, where Kinzie has brought Sydney for another round with Nicole. Nicole gushes, oohs, aahs and greets her.

Bo comes into the pub and joins Kayla. Kay wants to talk about Carly. I'm sure that thrills Bo to no end.

Carly arrives at Maggie's and wants to talk to Melanie. Melanie wants her to leave.

Nathan and Stephanie are off from the hospital but still playing doctor as they bounce around on the couch. Nathan says he has something important to do before Kayla and L'il Joe leave. One thing he ought to do is find L'il Joe, since no one has seen him. As Stephanie goes to get her coat, Phillip arrives asking for her. Phillip tells Nathan about Arianna's death. Nathan starts to call and console Melanie but Phillip forbids it.

EJ reads about Arianna's death on the Internet and remembers talking to her when she was in the hospital.

Sami arrives at Arianna's apartment and goes in. she remembers Arianna showing her the "proof" and starts ransacking, "Let's trash this place!"

Melanie wants Carly to go. No go on the go. Carly comes in, "I'm (say it with her) here for you if you want to talk." Melanie don' wanna talk. So what do they do? They talk. Carly says Arianna's death should make Melanie realize they should love and cherish each other while they can. Melanie wants to love and cherish those whom she loves and cherishes, however, and that would not include Carly.

Kayla lectures Bo about his Carlyvorting, "Do you really know who Carly is now? What she is capable of?" Bo tells Kayla exactly what Carly is capable of. Kayla blushes.

Sami, on the other hand, is capable of trashing a room. She gets a call from Will. She says she's at Arianna's but hasn't found anything. She says she hates doing this but that's not about to stop her. She hangs up and goes back to work. Suddenly, she stops, "OMG!"

Nicole says she's happy to see Sydney. Kinzie starts to take Sydney to the playground, but winces in pain. She tells Nicole she has hurt her arm, so Nicole takes over the duty of lugging Sydney over to the playground.

Melanie says Carly wouldn't have told Daniel even if it weren't his baby. Carly begs to differ. Melanie asks if Bo knows about Chloe's indiscretions. Carly cries. "I guess not," says Melanie.

Kayla says she thinks Bo could never abandon Hope. I wouldn't be so sure. Right above the entrance to Bo and Hope's house is a sign that says, "Abandon Hope all ye who enter here." Bo says he won't abandon her, but she has to accept the reality that Carly is his future.

"That's where you are wrong," says Kayla.

Sami has found some sort of box and hunts for a way to open it. She flings the door open and...

EJ!

Phillip thinks Nathan has done enough damage since he made Melanie lie to her own father. Stephanie comes out and tells Phillip this isn't Nathan's fault.

Carly says, "I know I've kept things from Bo... and You... and Daniel... Everything I've done was in the interest of protecting the people I love."

"Dang," says Melanie, "I'd hate to see what you'd do for the people you hate. Why have you done those things — because you feel guilty for what you did when I was born?"

"YES!"

Well, let's hope that settles it Carly runs out. Melanie bawls.

Bo says he's tired of the lectures, but not tired of the reason for the lectures. He insists his future is with Carly, "But I will do what I can to support and help Hope. She will always be a part of my life, my heart, my child support payments, so please, don't diminish that." He gets a call and leaves. Kayla stews.

EJ leans against the doorjamb with a smirk and plays the part of the cat that ate the canary. Sami says she was there for a rosary. EJ pushes her inside the room.

Nicole tells Sydney she has pictures of her on her nightstand, "I miss you so much, Munchkin." Suddenly, Kinzie and Caroline walk up.

Caroline nukes, "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?"

Melanie imagines what will happen when Daniel finds out about Chloe cheating. She imagines he accuses her of holding the truth back and letting him marry Chloe. He walks out on her as she begs him not to.

Carly sits on the park bench as Kayla walks up. Kayla says she's leaving tonight. "What a shame," says Carly.

Poor choice of words around Kayla. Speaking of shame," says Miss Holier Than Thou, "You should be."

EJ asks where the rosary is, and why the room is tossed. Sami starts to leave. EJ blocks her way and they fight. Sami's purse spills and EJ sees the mystery box.

Stephanie lectures Phillip for lecturing Nathan, "All we want is for Daniel and Chloe to be happy. Nothing else matters. Are we good here?"

"Yeah," grumbles Phillip. He leaves.

Stephanie screeches. Nathan tries to calm her down, "There is a lot more to say."

Kayla wonders how Carly lives with herself. Carly says she knows this is more about Bo and Hope than it is about her. She reminds Kayla they were apart before she got involved with Bo. Carly stomps off.

Caroline asks Kinzie to take the baby home. Kinzie insists Nicole tricked her. Nicole tells Caroline she's blowing this out of proportion. Caroline tells her never to touch Sydney again.

Phillip arrives back at Maggie's and asks Melanie what's wrong. "You mean besides my best friend dying," says Melanie, "Carly came by." Melanie says she doesn't need Carly trying to make everything right, "Arianna had the biggest heart of anyone I've ever known but I wondered what if she had regrets. I was thinking about how my mom has lied to me since I met her. What if you have regrets at the last moment of your life? I'm not having regrets but..." She stops short and then comes out of left field, "Are you supposed to be at work? You should go back. I want to be alone for a while." Hugs.

EJ rattles the box. Sami says it's a box with the rosary inside. She goes to grab the box back and they start fighting again. They wrestle, fall on the bed and use it for a trampoline." Out in the Ejami section, hearts flutter. They roll off the end of the bed and race to get to the box. EJ asks where the rosary is as Sami grabs the box and runs out. EJ hangs back and reminisces, "Whew! That's the most action I've gotten on a bed since I was married to Nicole."

Daniel comes in and hugs Melanie, "Lexie told me about Arianna. It's horrible." Melanie cries and says, "Nothing makes sense." That's something you hear a lot from Melanie. She says she should have spent more time with Arianna. In fact, half of Salem wishes she had been running across the street with Arianna.

"You spent a lot of time with her and shouldn't worry about the fact you didn't spend more. After all, her life was tragic enough." he says he tried to reach Chloe but she wasn't answering her phone. Daniel tries to comfort Melanie and says he knows it's been painful, "I just wish I had been (say it with him) there for you."

"No," says Melanie, "You are always (say it with her) there for me. It's about time someone was (say it with her) there for you." After that exchange I'm not sure who is (say it with me) there for whom.

Kayla arrives back at the pub and finds Caroline, who tells her about the Nicole and Sydney incident. Caroline says she has to have a little chat with Kinzie and there will be no more babysitting for her, "I'll keep her at the pub, though, because it looks like I'm the only one left who can watch Sami's kids." She thinks Sami will go ballistic if she finds out Nicole was holding her daughter. Of course Sami would go ballistic if she found out the sun came up this morning.

Kayla says she's going crazy, "I'm about to destroy Bo's life and there is no way around it."

"What," asks Caroline, "Did you figure out a way to get Hope out of jail?"

Bo meets Carly at the pier. He senses something is wrong. Carly having a complete mental breakdown in front of him tipped him off.

Nicole stares at a picture of Sydney as Chloe comes up. They share big hugs and Chloe tells her about the honeymoon.

So, let's recap. Daniel and Chloe get back from their honeymoon and Chloe just wanders off into the woods alone and stumbles on Nicole. Maybe she was practicing to go off into the woods and have her kid like they do in some cultures considered to be primitive. Although, let's face it, there is no culture primitive enough to assimilate Chloe.

Nicole says, "I'm glad you're happy. And now I know what it will take to make me happy — Sydney."

Nathan says, "I have to do this now."

"Do what," asks Stephanie.

Chloe reminds Nicole Sydney isn't her child. Brilliant observation, for Chloe. Nicole promises to give up that line of stinkin' thinkin' and tires to change the subject and talk about Chloe's baby. Chloe says she knows she should be happy but Melanie is dangerous and could destroy her life.

Kayla says, "What I am about to tell you has to remain between us."

"Of course," says Caroline, "I'll just paraphrase it when I tell everyone else in town."

Kayla whispers, "Daniel might not be the father of Chloe's baby, even though there was a paternity test that proves he is." Caroline thinks that makes no sense and she wonders why it would ruin Bo's life. Kayla says she thinks the results were switched, "Carly switched the results. And given what Bo has gone through with Hope, when this comes to light, it could ruin Bo emotionally."

"How can you ruin something that's already ruined," asks Caroline. Kayla swears she has to tell Bo.

Caroline begs her not to, "Besides, I thought you said this has to remain between us."

"Don't you dare confront me with facts," snorts Kayla.

Nathan takes Stephanie's hands, "I'm so lucky to have you in my life. You're amazing. You are my first thought in the morning and my last thought at night. And then I puke." He takes a knee, in fact he supports it on his unread copy of the Guy Manual, "Stephanie Johnson, will you marry me."

Stephanie beams, "I can't believe it. I actually snagged a guy with two legs."

Nathan and Stephanie plan to marry for better or worse. She couldn't do better, he couldn't do worse.

Carly asks how Kayla seemed when Bo saw her. Bo thinks she was tense. Carly says Kayla will never accept them as a couple. Oh, she'll accept them as a couple, all right. A couple of adulterers.

Caroline insists Carly didn't switch the results. "How could you know that," asks Kayla.

Daniel and Melanie continue to argue about who should (say it with them) be there for whom. Finally, Melanie wails, "I have to tell you the truth about everything." Vegas odds are about a billion to one that 'everything' will include the truth about Chloe, so don't bet the house.

Nicole says, "Melanie made her decision. She won't tell Daniel about your little infidelity."

Chloe says she can't control that but Nicole can control the Sydney thing, "You have to let it go."

Nicole gets upset and tells her to go away, "You don't get it. Sydney will always be a part of me. Call me crazy and deluded and judge me but..."

Chloe judges, "You are crazy and deluded."

"I swear I will get her back," says Nicole.

"I was wrong," says Chloe, "You are completely crazy and deluded."

Back in Arianna's room, EJ decides Sami didn't do a good enough job of trashing it, so he finishes the job, "Where is it? Arianna, what have you got?" Rigor mortis.

Sami arrives back at the Hernandez Hovel. Will greets her, "So EJ just showed up at Arianna's place?"

"How did you know that," asks Sami.

"You called and told me when you were on the way over here," says Will, "Don't you remember that?"

"No," says Sami, "That's how frazzled I am." She tells him she found nothing in Arianna's room.

Will asks, "What if it doesn't matter. Maybe the person who has it didn't watch the video, or lost the camera?" Sami sighs.

A pair of hands goes through mail. The same hands shuffle through a couple of CDs, and then pick up Arianna's video camera. One can never tell, but the coat attached to the hands seems to have the same gaudy brass buttons as Bo's Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band coat.
