One Big Stiff Pain In The Ass

Nicole and Brady come into Vivian's bedroom talking about Vivian. Nicole is concerned maybe Vivian already kicked the bucket.

Gus shows up in Salem to rescue Vivian.

Sami and Rafe are in the Hernandez Hovel. The pair suddenly realize they are alone. Rafe gets ideas. Sami says she wants to do something for him. Rafe gets bigger ideas, but Sami shows up with his tacky dog picture. Not what Rafe pictured, so to speak. The start talking about the shooting and Rafe tells her not to worry. Sami worries. Or at least, most of her personalities worry.

EJ asks Arianna why she is at the DiMera mansion. Arianna hyperventilates and says she has something to tell him that could change his life.

Phillip and Melanie arrive back at Maggie's after the wedding. Phillip tells Melanie she did the right thing by keeping her mouth shut. Always a good idea for Melanie, if you ask me. Melanie says she was ready to blab but Brady changed her mind.

Brady says he knows Vivian is still alive. But in desperate need of a catheter. Brady and Nicole get busy with other things.

Sami tells Rafe about Arianna coming to the Hernandez Hovel and prying. Rafe decides he will have to have a little talk with Arianna. Ever notice how 'a little talk' is always 'a big talk?'

Arianna says she knows EJ isn't a monster and she thinks she can help him since he once helped her.

Daniel and Chloe are in their hotel room. Chloe rambles as Daniel sulks. Chloe thinks Daniel is still mad at her. She thinks he'll never forgive her.

Melanie tells Phillip about her conversations at the wedding and with Daniel. She figures Daniel will be happier if he doesn't find out. Carly shows up. Melanie is pretty inhospitable, but Carly says she thinks Melanie did a wonderful thing for Daniel. Melanie says she understands why Chloe did it, but will never forgive her. Suddenly, dozens of others show up and crowd into the room. Now everyone who knows about Carly's affair are finally together in one place.

Victor walks in on Nicole and Brady in the den, "Oh, for God's sake, get a room!" He asks for a word with Brady in private. Nicole leaves. Victor says he thought Brady was using Nicole and wonders if he's in love with her instead.

Rafe says Sami and her kids are his life and he'll talk some sense into Arianna. If he's successful, one of them will actually have some sense. Sami brings up her phone conversation with Kate.

Arianna says Rafe has made a mistake getting involved with Sami. I think that would be a bit of an exaggeration unless he did something stupid like quitting his job for her. Kate walks in and wants to know what's up. EJ tells her it doesn't concern her. Kate begs to differ.

Brady insists he's not in love with Nicole. "Compared to Vivian Nicole is like Mother Teresa, so back off."

Gus stands outside the pub and talks on the phone with Vivian. He says he will be in contact with her. He hangs up and puts on a pair of cheap sunglasses. Nicole walks up as he walks off.

EJ tries to dispose of Kate, but Kate lectures. She says she will defend her children and grandchildren, and that includes Will, who she knows is innocent. EJ says if Will is innocent, then Kate doesn't have anything to worry about.

Carly tries to mitigate things but Melanie attacks like a cobra with a bad-i-'tude. She huffs out.

Daniel pulls Chloe onto the bed and says she was careless with what he said, but Dan knows she respects that Melanie is a part of his life. Chloe thanks him for being so forgiving. Tell him the rest and see how forgiving he is. Chloe wonders if Melanie will ever forgive her. Daniel dunno.

Rafe thinks maybe EJ was contemplating suicide. Sami wonders if he was contemplating coming after Rafe. She also worries EJ will try to take the kids and disappear, "I'm never going to get him out of my life."

Kate reminds EJ Will is part of his family now. Arianna gets a call and leaves. Out in the foyer she answers. Gabi reminds her of the dinner they have scheduled together. She tells Arianna to hurry up.

Meanwhile, back in the rumpus room, EJ reminds Kate she's a member of the family too, and should be loyal. Kate looks the word 'loyal' up in the dictionary.

Carly doesn't want pity, but is sad Melanie is so angry. Melanie asks Phillip to leave. Ya don' have to ask him twice. Phillip skedaddles. Melanie says she wanted to have a normal family in spite of the fact that Carly and Daniel were her parents.

Victor rants. He says he knows something is wrong, "You're becoming one big stiff pain in the ass." Victor leaves for the mausoleum, "I'll give her your love."

After Victor is out of earshot, Brady mumbles, "You'll actually be giving it to Vivian."

Gus arrives at the crypt, but the door is locked.

EJ gets a call and reminds the henchman he just got out of the hospital, "I pay you to fix problems. FIX IT!" He hangs up and tells Arianna to get on with her big announcement. Arianna starts to tell but...

Suddenly...

THUD!

EJ collapses.

Phillip finds Nicole at the pub. Nicole wonders how Phillip convinced Melanie to keep her mouth shut. "Crazy Glue," says Phillip.

Daniel comforts Chloe but says he can't be sure things will be OK again between her and Melanie. Chloe says she'll do anything she can to make it better. Hugs.

Melanie decides she never should have forgiven Carly in the first place, "I understand you have reasons for keeping things from Daniel, or doing what you did by not telling Daniel about me. But you've made decisions that affect all these people who never got a chance to have a say. Then when it all blows up you apologize. Of course you're sorry, because it blew up in your face, but if you could do it again, would you do it differently."

"Probably not."

Rafe cooks dinner as he and Sami reminisce about the safehouse. They take the food to the table. Rafe goes back for the wine as Sami digs in. She thanks him for always making her feel better. He reminds her of the times she screams and throws things at him. Sami goes into a litany of his good points (which only lasts a couple seconds), "You always make me feel loved and safe (no pun intended)."

"And I will for all the Days Of Our Lives," says Rafe.

EJ insists he's fine. Kate tells Arianna Lexie said EJ is not to have any stress, so Arianna leaves.

Gus radios in and tells Vivian the door is locked. Vivian spits out a few expletives as Gus tries to pick the lock. He succeeds and creeps in. He thinks it's creepy.

"There's nothing creepy in here but me," says Vivian, "I mean..."

Phillip says Chloe said it was a one night thing and he's always been curious to find out who the guy was. Nicole wonders with all the people who know the secret if it's not a matter of time until Daniel gets wind of it.

Melanie says Carly should have told Daniel but now everyone knows but him. They have a contest to see who can shed the most tears. Melanie wins, opens the door and tells Carly to leave. "Goodnight," says Carly, "I will love you always," Once she leaves Melanie becomes a tower of tears.

Arianna is with Gabi in the pub. Gabi says Rafe took her to get a dress and she needs Arianna to hem it for her. She also says Rafe didn't let her pay because credit cards are no fun at all until you max them out. She also tells Arianna Rafe quit his job.

Rafe promises Sami and the kids a good life. No money but a good life. She thinks he got a little sad when he mentioned Johnny and Sydney. Rafe says that's because he knows Johnny has a good relationship with EJ. Sami says Johnny will grow up knowing he has a good relationship with Rafe, too.

EJ blows his stack because Kate wouldn't let Arianna talk. She says the important thing is for him to get better.

Rafe and Sami romp.

EJ calls Arianna and asks her to call him back to tell him what it was she had to say.

Arianna sees her phone buzzing but declines to pick up. She asks why Rafe quit and Gabi tells her. Gabi leaves.

Nicole walks in on Brady as he pours himself another drink. She thinks he seems edgy. He pours another and says Victor gave him an earfull, but says he didn't tell Victor they have Vivian stashed. Nicole decides they need a long term plan. Brady says he's working on it, "Here's to that plan."

"No," says Nicole, "Here's to us."

Gus tells Vivian he's inside. Vivian directs him to the lever, then suddenly screams, "Watch out! There is someone behind you."

BONK!

Gus hits the deck.

Rafe gets ideas.

I was eating lunch – not anymore.

Phillip tells Melanie she did the right thing by keeping her mouth shut. Always a good idea for Melanie, if you ask me.

I don’t think many of the faithful would disagree with you on that point Prevuze. Geez.

Brady says he knows Vivian is still alive. But in desperate need of a catheter.

The lining of that sarcophagus must really be taking a beating.

She thinks he'll never forgive her.

Move over Daniel. I’ll never forgive myself if I don’t zap my way through all this nonsense.

Arianna says Rafe has made a mistake getting involved with Sami. I think that would be a bit of an exaggeration unless he did something stupid like quitting his job for her.

You think? LOL!!!

Nicole wonders how Phillip convinced Melanie to keep her mouth shut. "Crazy Glue," says Phillip.

…and I’m sure he needed a couple of tubes. LOL!!!

"You always make me feel loved and safe (no pun intended)."

"And I will for all the Days Of Our Lives," says Rafe.

Translation: Stand out of the way of the speeding train, because it's about to hit a great big brick wall.

Sami says Johnny will grow up knowing he has a good relationship with Rafe, too.

…but it will be Johnny’s job to go down to the train tracks to look for coal to help heat the house.

Let’s see. Arianna can’t stand Sami and thinks she’s ruining Rafe’s life, but she can’t get beyond the small talk to rat Sami out to EJ. By the time EJ finds out that Sami shot him, Rafe and Sami will be using food stamps to pay for groceries. Since Rafe has the key to the storage locker, Marlena's furniture should be showing up on eBay before November sweeps.

TGIF & TGFP!!!!!!!!!

Arianna says she knows EJ isn't a monster and she thinks she can help him since he once helped her.

Somehow, Ari's idea seems poorly planned. he's only been home one day and already about to stroke out. Oh my...what could happen??

Sami and Rafe are in the Hernandez Hovel. The pair suddenly realize they are alone.

Aren't they always? And whatever has become of Ali? or is she still visiting Lucas in HongKong?

Chloe thanks him for being so forgiving. Tell him the rest and see how forgiving he is.

Chloe's charms have really taken their toll on Ol Dan..he was once the medical savior of Salem, now hes just a poor clueless sob. Wake up Danny Boy and walk away from the "salad bar"!!

Nicole wonders with all the people who know the secret if it's not a matter of time until Daniel gets wind of it.

Oh the agony of waiting!

BONK! Gus hits the deck.
I guess Hope got out of prison for a weekend furlough as a reward for comforting that sick girl this week!
TGIF!

How long since Sami's had a REAL job?? I remember she applied at the FBI awhile back, but they weren't biting.

A la Blanch DuBois in "A Streetcar Named Desire," Sami apparently has always depended on the kindness of strangers--or in her case, relatives.

Marlena wouldn't think of charging her a dime for rent & utilities during the Penthouse days. And I guess we are to assume Lucas has been sending child support for Will; but that comes to a halt when he's 18, no? And since Lucas has custody, I'm sure she collects nada for Ali.

As dastardly as EJ is, before she moved in the DiMera compound, Sami must have been collecting handsome support for Johnny & Sydney. So I've never understood the storyline assumption that Sami is such a strong, resourceful character.

Wouldn't it be refreshing if soaps actually devoted a small amount of time to storylines such as Sami wondering where the next meal is coming from? And longer than one scene. Considering Grandma Caroline must be approaching 75, and that she babysits A LOT for Sami's brood---if it were me, I'd be working at the Pub for Grandma to show my appreciation. Who knows? She could end being a real restaurateur, like Maggie.

But alas, slinging chowdah just could never measure up to beef Wellington at Chez Rouge!

Like a big ol' sack of taters? The image of this made me chuckle. Altho the conveeeeeenicnce of this happening right before Arianna spit out the big reveal is just typical DOOL. In real life (I know, I know) she'd have said it right off the bat.

For a Friday it sure seems like a snoozer of an episode. How many months are we going to have to endure the Danloe conversation about Melanie - over something that never even happened?

Another stalling tactic - Gus stopping to phone Vivian. If he's there to rescue her why wouldn't he just go straight there?

Oh well. Thank you for the Friday afternoon pick-me-up, Prevuze! Happy rest of Friday and weekend everyone. :D
