A Monster Lurks
We open up in the Patch And Billie Memorial Isolation Ward. Nathan wakes up and tells Melanie she looks good, for being on death's door, that is.
Carly finds Daniel working in the lab. He says he has found the virus strain, but it's not normal. No big deal... in Salem nothing is normal. Anyway, it's a mutation. He holds up a vial and says it's the antiviral, "But we don't have time to test the drug."
Nicole and Brady are in the Kiriakis den. Nicole figures Vivian is free despite what she has done. Brady says he has to go to the hospital since Melanie isn't doing well. Nicole tells him to go and also says they will figure a way to deal with Vivian. Then she stops him, "There is something I have to tell you and you should hear it from me."
Sami serves a lunch she has prepared. Water and ketchup. Allie asks when Johnny and Sydney will be coming home. "Not yet," says Sami.
"Not yet," repeats Will, "What does that mean?"
What part of 'not yet' confuses you," asks Sami.
Rafe suggests getting Allie to school. He takes her into the other room to get ready. Sami tells Will she had to turn Johnny and Sydney over to EJ.
"EJ got hold of Arianna's camera, didn't he," asks Will.
"No," says Sami, "I just couldn't find another babysitter on short notice."
Brady wonders how EJ got his kids back since he's a proven kidnapper. Well, Sami's attempted murder trumps kidnapping. Nicole says she doesn't want to lie about it, "Apparently Arianna had a recording of Sami confessing she shot EJ. It was with the things she left." Brady says that couldn't be unless it was the camera Rafe asked about. Nicole tells him she found it but didn't want to drop that piece of bad news on him.
"You gave it to EJ," snorts Brady, "That's why he has his kids back."
EJ says he has proof that Sami shot him. Kate fake-gasps. EJ says he confronted her and Sami admitted she came over because Kate called her. Kate denies. EJ goes into a rage. He jams a finger into Kate’s face, "Don't lie to me!" Translation: "Don't talk to me." "You are as responsible as she is," says EJ. Kate thinks the one one responsible for what happened is EJ.
"How are we doing," asks Melanie, "I'd like your opinion as a doctor."
"Let's put it this way," says Nathan, "What you really need is my opinion as a mortician."
Nathan tries to be upbeat and reminds Melanie of all the good things she does. After that two second exchange he tells her to concentrate on the positive things.
Phillip asks Chloe about word on Maggie. Clhoe says she's doing better. She says when she talked to Daniel she thought there was something he didn't want to tell her.
Carly says, "We need a guinea pig to test this on." Dr. Guinea Pig hauls out the oldest trick in the 'Doctor Book' and decides to test the anti-virus on himself.
Brady wants to know what EJ promised Nicole. Nicole says he wasn't specific. Brady reminds her EJ lies all the time and says she's a fool if she believes him. No doubt that means she believes him.
Kate says she has no regrets about doing anything and had no idea Sami was coming over that night. She admits to calling Sami, however. She says she sees EJ the same way Samantha sees him, "Beneath that charming little smile a monster lurks. Think about what happens to people who try to hurt me." She offers him a brownie and then walks off. Sami calls EJ. He tells her they have nothing to say to each other. Sami begs to differ.
Carly begs Daniel not to test the drug on himself. Daniel goes off to talk to people before he does the deed, and thanks Carly for backing him up on it. He leaves and Carly eyes the drug. She goes to the computer and scratches out her last will and testament.
Daniel finds Chloe, Stephanie and Phillip together. He tells them things for Melanie and Nathan might be looking up, "There's a two-for-one sale at the Salem Mortuary." Phillip and Stephanie leave. Daniel looks at Parker. Chloe wonders why he's looking at him like he will never see him again.
"If Phillip gets his hands on them, he gives them all away," says Daniel.
Sami begs EJ to reconsider, for the kids... for the holidays... for the sake of dragging this out into oblivion. EJ refuses and hangs up. Rafe comes back and he and Sami have a hug-a-thon.
Nicole shows up at the DiMera mansion and wants to know if EJ is going to follow through with his promise to let her see Sydney.
Brady wonders if he can see Melanie. Phillip and Stephanie say he needs a pass, "No one can hug or touch her except Nathan, though."
Chloe begs Daniel not to try the anti-virus on himself. Daniel says, "Melanie and Nathan might die. I have to help them."
"Your intelligence level certainly does," says Chloe.
Johnny greets EJ. Nicole slips through as EJ pays attention to him. He finds her in the rumpus room with Sydney.
Rafe rubs Sami's feet. Coincidentally, Sami reads the Gal Manual, "Caution... no guy just wants to give you a foot rub." Kate shows up and tells Sami EJ will try to ruin her life now that he knows Sami called her. Sami don' care. Kate says she should because she has a plan that could help.
Kate says she can't believe she's there taking Sami's side. Rafe can't believe she interrupted the "foot rub." Kate says she thinks it's wrong to take Sami's children from her. She says Stefano doesn't know about any of this and if she gets her hands on certain documents it could be a game changer. Rafe warns about crossing Stefano, but Kate asks if they can life without Sydney and Johnny. Brady calls Kate. She turns and tells Rafe and Sami she has another fire to go put out, "I think my plan is your only hope."
Carly leaves notes for Bo and Daniel propped up on the computer. She goes over, takes a hypo and contemplates the two anti-virus vials.
Daniel finds Brady, Phillip and Stephanie. He asks to talk to Phillip and they walk off. Father Matt finds Stephanie. He says he had a few minutes with Nathan and Melanie giving them last rights.
Whineanie says there is something she should have told them and semi-blames herself for their bout with Dungcootie Fever. Father Matt asks if that info might have been her way of making amends. Steponme says yes.
Melanie cools Nathan's fevered brow as Carly comes in.
Sami thinks Kate seemed not to be lying. She goes into a funk over the fact that the holidays are coming, but Mr. Reassurance calms her down. Sami goes to lay down for some alone time. "This isn't over," says Rafe. He grabs his coat and leaves.
Nicole, Johnny, EJ and Sydney play. EJ sends Johnny off. He says he knows Nicole is there for selfish reasons, but he's been thinking. STOP THE PRESSES! EJ HAS BEEN THINKING! He says he knows Nicole loves Sydney and tells her to take her to the garden and show her she loves her. "Let's go pull some weeds," says Nicole.
Chloe tells Brady Daniel will test the drug on himself. "If there is to be any testing of drugs around here," says Brady, "I'm your junkie." He asks how Chloe is doing. Chloe says she's an emotional wreck. She's as jittery as a whore in church. Or a whore in a hospital room with her ex-husband and newborn. She assures him she'll be fine. Brady leaves. Chloe picks up Parker. She sits with him and tells him she cheated and lied. She begs God not to punish Daniel for her sins. Then she starts to breast feed Parker.
"Holy cow," says Parker, "No one could be that hungry."
Daniel hustles into the lab all ready to work. She stops cold when he sees Carly's letter, opens it, reads and rushes out.
Brady tells Phillip and Stephanie Daniel developed the Dungcootie Fever drug overnight, and now has to test it on himself.
Phillip worries that Daniel is taking a real gamble taking the anti-virus himself, "If he pulls it off everyone will be happy."
"No," says Stephanie, "If it works, Melanie will still be with us and no one will be happy."
Melanie and Nathan freak out that Carly is in with them. Carly assures them everything will be all right.
Nicole and Sydney play in the garden. Nicole says she's happy because she's with her. Sydney says she's happy because EJ said they only have an hour to pull weeds.
EJ comes downstairs and finds Rafe, "What are you doing here?"
Kate tells Brady he can't ignore Vivian. Brady realizes that, and says he knows he will be first on Vivian's to-do list.
Phillip wonders why they wouldn't be happy if Nathan and Melanie make it out of this alive. Stephanie tells him it's because of the truth about Phillip and Parker.
Carly prepares the anti-virus and jams the hypo into her arm as Daniel watches and screams from outside the room, "NOOOOOO!!! That's the evidence from the SPD's last heroin bust!"
Rafe says Mary let him in, "I'm not here for Sami. I'm here for Will and Allie and the kids. You're not what's best for them. I'm hoping we can come to an agreement at least for the holidays."
"No," says EJ, "Never."
Nicole suggests she and Sydney have tea. Sami watches from the bushes and quiversnivels.

Prevuze!
I tried something new different and exciting. Instead of reading your posting before or after the show I followed along as I watched the show. It was great! It was just like having someone in the room offering snarky comments instead of me just yelling at the screen. HA
Especially when I got to "My love knows no limits," says Daniel. "Your intelligence level certainly does," says Chloe.
How did Carly know how much to inject? A few cc's or the entire hypo??
And how long, for Pete's sake, was Daniel gone for her to hand write three notes that were that long?
I still don't get Kate being so willing to help Sami, especially at the risk of crossing Stefano. This makes no sense whatsoever.
And anyone who thinks Steponme is really going to get around to spilling the beans about Parker this soon, I have some swampland I'd like to unload.
Loved Sami begs EJ to reconsider, for the kids...for the holidays...for the sake of dragging this out into oblivion. (I'm afraid it will) and Kate's Botox.
Enjoyed sharing this episode with you, Prev! :D
Carly finds Daniel working in the lab.
So- come up to the lab
And see what's on the slab
I see you shiver with antici . . . pation
If Daniel was making a man with blond hair and a tan, this whole storyline would be infinitely more interesting.
“Think about what happens to people who try to hurt me." She offers him a brownie and then walks off.
Kate and Betty Crocker are kindred spirits.
Sami begs EJ to reconsider, for the kids... for the holidays... for the sake of dragging this out into oblivion.
You think? Remorseless Sami was willing to deprive Johnny and Sydney of their father for the rest of the days of their lives, so she and Agent Enabler are coming off as incredibly hypocritical. Since EJ is in possession Arianna’s video, Sami and Rafe aren’t in a very good position to make demands of EJ.
Phillip and Stephanie say he needs a pass, "No one can hug or touch her except Nathan, though."
Phillip appears to be taking this whole situation rather calmly. His wife is supposed to be near death, so I would think Phillip would be camped outside of her room.
Kate says she thinks it's wrong to take Sami's children from her.
Somehow I don’t think a judge would agree with Kate. Attempted murder has a tendency to break up families, because Sami’s butt should be in the slammer.
He says he knows Nicole loves Sydney and tells her to take her to the garden and show her she loves her. "Let's go pull some weeds," says Nicole.
…and some weed. That’s got to be what the writers are smoking.
“I'm here for Will and Allie and the kids. You're not what's best for them.”
…and Sami and Rafe are? Sami tried to kill EJ, and Rafe is basically a dirty cop. Yep, two upstanding citizens – not!
Kate’s botoxed face! LOL!!! Great stuff Prevuze!!!!!
It was just like having someone in the room offering snarky comments instead of me just yelling at the screen.
I know. I was yelling at the screen.
So- come up to the lab

HA! Just watched it again last week. Ahhh... the classics!
Almost lunch time, so thought I'd better get on the stick and squeeze in some time to comment on yesterday's post.
It was stupendous. Yes. There. I said it. Stupendous. For example:
Nathan tries to be upbeat and reminds Melanie of all the good things she does. After that two second exchange...
STOP THE PRESSES! EJ HAS BEEN THINKING!
"Because it's healthier, I'm drinking 2% milk. The rest is 98% alcohol." -Brady Black.
Fantastic prevuisms all. I also loved the Botox picture and the new vocabulary word, quiversnivels.
The entire Daniel/Carly insta-anti-viral story is my HUH?!, OFPS, and Puh-leeze moments rolled into one. Daniel, by himself, with no high-tech research facilities available was able to isolate the viral protein he needed and then manufacture an anti-viral serum overnight???!!!
And then, as Bulldog has pointed out, Carly injects herself without any study on how much she should use?
Injecting an anti-virus serum into someone who isn't sick won't prove much of anything. Or, did Carly use the virus serum to infect herself and when she starts exhibiting symptoms she intends to test the anti-viral??
I hope today's episode will clear up this medical mystery. I'm not holding my breath.
Along with Leslie, I was thinking the same thing about Philip lately. He seems more involved with Parker than with his critically ill wife.
Since this is the last day of sweeps month they just MIGHT have Stephanie spill the beans to Philip about Parker. Doesn't necessarily mean Chloe or Dan will find out yet. We'll just have Phil and Steph and God knows who else "talk about it" until the next sweeps period.
OK, back to work and back to looking forward to my afternoon snark. Thanks Prevuze!
