Who's Matt?
Bo stands in the front room of the Hernandez Hovel with Rafe, Sami, EJ, Johnny and Allie. The kids get the impression they don't belong there, so they go elsewhere in search of adult supervision. As they leave, the total IQ in the room takes a precipitous drop. Crack investigative officer Bo asks his usual penetrating question, "What's going on?" EJ encourages Sami to fill Bo in. The dead silence he's met with is unusual only by the fact that Sami is in the room. Sami and silence are like oil and water. Seeing as how Sami isn't in the mood for conversation, EJ steps up to the plate and volunteers to tell Bo everything. What a guy!
Phillip comes into Chloe's room as she checks on the Parkster. Phillip has a big wrapped box. He admires the baby and Chloe opens the present. It's some kind of clothing or something. The kid doesn't care since it's not a toy. Chloe gushes over how things have turned out.
Stephanie notices Nathan has a fever. Nathan denies, then falls face-first in his tomato soup. Stephanie tells him what Caroline did is really bad.
Melanie gets woozy. Daniel has her sit down.
Ben and Carly look at the Rodriguez case. Ben notices the doctor was Nathan and the nurse was Melanie.
Bo clams EJ up because EJ might have some real information for him, . He asks EJ to leave. EJ pulls out the video camera and offers to show something interesting to Bo. Bo says he's in violation of his restraining order and orders him to leave. Smarty-mouth EJ sasses the big commish. Bo takes him aside and makes threats, "Show me whats on that camera later. Get your ass out of here now or get dragged out in handcuffs." EJ gets his ass out. Ejamis watch his ass go.
Bo says he needs to pick Rafe's brain on a case. "It must be a small case," says Sami. She leaves.
Bo tells Rafe, "I know exactly what Sami's done."
Parker yawns. The show is putting him to sleep, too. Phillip tells Chloe she's a tough cookie, "You have the IQ of one, too, and your life is just as crummy." They both agree they made a stupid mistake but chuckle that they got away with it. Parker gets fussy and Phillip calms him down.
Carly panics because Melanie was the nurse on the Rodriguez case. She runs around like a crazy woman (sorry for the redundancy) and tries to get hold of Melanie.
Daniel asks Melanie if she's eaten anything unusual or had contact with anyone unusual. Being she's in Salem, it takes her about a half hour to tell him who she's been around that might be unusual. She tells him about Mr. Rodriguez, and says Nathan was with her.
Nathan gets sicker but, hey, consider whom he is with. He collapses and Stephanie orders someone to call for help.
Melanie gets sicker. Daniel asks her if she was wearing gloves when she treated Rodriguez. "Oops," says well-trained nurse Melanie. She collapses and Daniel carries her off.
Phillip says he has realized he's ready to start a family. Good thing, Daddy. They both agree each other would make great parents. Parker weighs in as the Loyal Opposition to that point of view.
Carly leaves a message for Melanie, then calls Daniel, who tells her what's going on.
They wheel Nathan in. Ben explains things to Stephanie, and says Rodriguez died. He orders Maxine to test Stephanie. Phillip overhears them talking about Melanie and wonders what's up.
EJ is back at the Hernandez Hovel. He says he saw the guys leave and wants to talk to Sami about the video. Sami says he has nothing on her, except an ironclad confession. She says she wishes she had succeeded in killing him.
Carly, Daniel and Ben reconnoiter. Daniel assures Melanie he won't let anything to happen to her. Stephanie watches and worries as they decide Melanie and Nathan have to be isolated. Phillip wants to know what's going on, "We don't know," yells Carly, "What do you think we are, doctors?"
Bo and Rafe are at the pub. He tells Rafe he's sitting on a ticking time bomb. Rafe jumps out of his chair. Rafe tells Bo Sami has no defense, and he can't protect her.
EJ says it's too bad he wasn't recording Sami's threat. Sami says she was out of her mind when she shot him (with Sami, the fact she was out of her mind goes without saying). EJ says he was contemplating suicide because Sami took his kids from him, "YOU TRIED TO MURDER ME!" Sami rationalizes and reminds him of everything that led up to the attempt. EJ insists Sami will go to jail for a very long time.
"You can't make that happen and you know it," says Sami.
"Try me," says EJ.
Stephanie sits with Phillip, who gets snappy, then apologizes for it. Stephanie snorts back, "Stop pretending like you even give a damn."
"Melanie is my life," says Phillip.
"Right... except for when she's not," says Stephanie.
The docs talk about the case as Maxine reports Nathan and Melanie are in the isolation unit. She leaves and Phillip walks up and offers to do anything he can, "I can get a private jet.. give money... bang a worried fiancée... — I'm especially good at that one..."
Bo advises Rafe to marry Sami and then he won't be able to testify against her, "My hands are tied." Rafe decides he and Sami will marry. Caroline overhears and drops her jaw.
EJ suggests Sami not lecture him on what is admissible in court. Sami brings up everything he has done and he claims none of it can be used in court. He also tells her the video is inadmissible unless he can find something to corroborate it, "I don't have to make something up. I know where the smoking gun is."
Caroline butts in and Bo tells her he and Rafe need privacy. Caroline says if her granddaughter is getting married right away she should know. Rafe and Bo calm her down and Caroline gives her blessing.
Sami insists there is no smoking gun. "What about the one in the river," asks EJ, "The one you talk about on the video."
"It certainly wouldn't still be smoking," says Sami. She backpedals and says there is no gun.
EJ wonders what if he produced it in court, "The one I retrieved from the river."
Stephanie walks into Chloe's room as Clhoe sleeps. Stephanie looks at Parker and Phillip walks in. Stephanie says she is in there looking for him, "I wanted to tell you I'm sorry for what I said about you and Melanie. I know you really care about her. I could tell that when I watched the two of you cavorting on the Internet." Phillip says he knows she cares, and Chloe wakes. Phillip tells her about Melanie and Nathan having Guatemala Fever and the guy who died form it. Chloe wants to know if Daniel has been exposed.
Carly tells Daniel both Melanie and Nathan are extremely weak. "This isn't about character," says Daniel.
Bo finds Carly, who tells him both Nathan and Melanie are critical. Daniel heads for the lab. Carly panics and Bo supports her.
Clhoe also panics. She worries about Daniel as Maxine walks in. Maxine calms her down a bit and Phillip and Stephanie leave. Chloe stops Maxine from taking Parker.
"Who's Matt," asks Melanie, proving she's blonde through and through. Nathan tells her the guy they caught this from died.
Rafe calls. Sami answers and tells him things are going fine. Rafe asks her not to answer if EJ calls. They end the conversation. Gabi walks in, "You've got that look."
"What look."
"The one you always have," says Gabi, "like there is only a vacuum between your ears."
Sami tells EJ Rafe will be home soon so he'd better get out, "And if you have that gun, just bring it to court." EJ asks if she wants to throw the rest of her life away. He says he chose not to show the gun to Bo because he wants control, "I have your life in my hands and I want to squeeze very hard." I'll bet he does.
Maxine tells Chloe she has to take the baby because of the Guatemala Fever outbreak. She wheels Parker out as Chloe huffs and puffs.
Bo leaves and Daniel comes up and tells Carly he has a clean bill of health. Ben says they have isolated the virus.
Speaking of isolation, we're back with Melanie and Nathan. Nathan gets up and tucks her in. They both lie there shivering. Melanie tells him she's scared. Nathan tries to be reassuring and they decide they're stuck with each other.
Gabi leaves the pub. Rafe makes a call to some mystery guy, "I need your help."
EJ says he knows it's difficult for Sami since she thought she would win. But now the tables have turned, "You tried to take my life away from me and now I will return the favor... only I will succeed."

I must say, I watched the show today, and it was pretty good...until the part where EJ said to Sami "YOU TRIED TO MURDER ME!"...really EJ? Give me an f'n break! How long has he "suspected" that Sami tried to kill him??? Oh yeah! For like 2 WHOLE months! Stefy told EJ that either Sami or Will shot him. I believe they ruled out Will as the shooter...which left Sami as the main suspect. So NOW, two months later, because his slutty X-wife Nicole wants Sami's child again, he has the nerve to threaten Sami? Yeah, good luck with that! EJ doesn't have a leg to stand on after all he's done to Sami and her family! I'm not a Safe fan, but I can see the appeal with Rafe...he actually WANTS Sami AND the kids(all 4 of them - a family unit)...all EJ cares about is to up one on Sami and to have his 2 kids at the DiMera mansion. Which blonde raises his kids, doesn't much matter to him! What court of commom sense would ever give him custody of the kids, I wanna know?!
I'm ready for EJ to have Sami by the short and curlies. This whole story is getting on my nerves. Of course, this gives a contrived reason for a contrived couple to marry. And the Bradys aren't exactly being portrayed as upstanding and law-abiding right now. Caroline is falsifying hospital records, Bo is turning a blind eye to his niece attempting to murder a man, and Sami is, well, Sami. Used to be a time when the Bradys wouldn't put up with this kind of crap, especially from Sami. And EJ absolutely has a leg to stand on. Sami started this particular mess in motion. I'm just tired of the smarmy looks on her and Rafe's faces.
She runs around like a crazy woman (sorry for the redundancy)
oh Prevze - I hope you meant Ccarly & not all women ...
This has no relevance to anything but I liked the previous Gabi better.
"Who's Matt," asks Melanie, proving she's blonde through and through. And with that Prevuze earns a big enough penalty to put it out of the stadium and into the parking lot.
But that is a cool picture with Clark Gable so the penalty is overturned.
This will surprise many (like Leslie) who know I was originally a Safe fan. As I've stated recently, it's now only because they deserve each other. (Maybe two half dopes will make a whole dope.)
I'm actually rooting for EJicole. I liked them before when they were together - MUCH more than EJami.
And I'm with you, TNCharger, what a way for a police commissioner to conduct business!
LOL over He tells Rafe he's sitting on a ticking time bomb. Rafe jumps out of his chair.
Thanks for the afternoon break, Prevuze. Happy almost TGIF.
Someone let the staff (or the writers) of Horton/Salem/DooL Hospital that if someone dies of an unknown and highly contagious virus, it might be advisable to have the staff wear masks and surgical gloves just for the heck of it.
Nathan and Mel could have infected a whole lot of other people. Sometimes the writing is stupid and then sometimes it's just so utterly stupid it makes me want to spit.
The kids get the impression they don't belong there, so they go elsewhere in search of adult supervision. As they leave, the total IQ in the room takes a precipitous drop.
Boy, that sums up the situation in the Hernandez Hovel nicely.
She runs around like a crazy woman (sorry for the redundancy)
LOL
The GWTW picture was funny and Nicole explaining jewelry to Sydney as inspired. Thanks for the evening lift!
EJ gets his ass out. Ejamis watch his ass go.
While a shot of EJ’s ass is always a treat, Bo’s behavior was absolutely ridiculous, and EJ should have accused him of using his position to protect Sami.
Parker yawns. The show is putting him to sleep, too.
…and he’s just a new born. Just wait until he’s been around awhile.
Being she's in Salem, it takes her about a half hour to tell him who she's been around that might be unusual.
…and
Nathan gets sicker but, hey, consider whom he is with.
Truer words have never been typed! As long as Melanie and Nathan lapse into comas, I think the “quarantine” storyline could be entertaining.
EJ is back at the Hernandez Hovel. He says he saw the guys leave and wants to talk to Sami about the video.
Why did dimwit Sami open the door to EJ? Oh that’s right. Since the door to the Hernandez Hovel looks like my high school gym locker on steroids, it doesn’t have a peephole or a dead bolt lock. If protecting Sami is Rafe’s life mission, he an unmitigated failure.
"I can get a private jet.. give money... bang a worried fiancée... — I'm especially good at that one..."
Clean up on monitor seven!! LOL!!!!!!!
Bo advises Rafe to marry Sami and then he won't be able to testify against her.
Bo is citing law Salem style. For Rafe to invoke spousal privilege, he would have had to have been married to Sami at the time she perpetrated her crime. The wedding is going to end up being a plot device, and Sami can add another dress to her collection. Since Rafe stopped EJ and Sami’s wedding, you can bet that EJ will crash the Safe bash. Sigh!
This will surprise many (like Leslie) who know I was originally a Safe fan.
Bulldog - Rafe is a conundrum. He’s either got a bug up his butt, or he caught the Sami Brady multiple personality virus. Rafe should be placed in quarantine with Melanie and Nathan.
Prevuze thanks for adding a touch of class to Salem with the GWTW homage. A photo of Clark Gable is always welcome.
Leslie - you brought up another point I've been meaning to ask.. is Sami just too dense to ask "Who is it?" before just flinging open the door? And Rafe - how about installing a peep hole in the door? I think they're pretty cheap from any hardware store and easy to install.
Anonymous about the doctors wearing gloves and masks: My first thought was to wonder why the heck they would remove a newborn from its mother during a "crisis" and separate him from her antibody-rich milk?
But I'm just a scientist, what do I know about writing a soap opera. On the other hand, what to the IIC?
Word verification: flariar. How DOOL writers hope we judge their efforts
Thank you Judith. I mean, I am more than willing to suspend my rational thinking for an hour a day, but these writers are insulting our intelligence with this stuff. They have an unknown illness, possibly incurable for all they knew at the time and yet the staff is meandering around like they're at the local Starbucks, no special measures being taken except locking Mel and Nathan up in quarantine. If any nurse came to take my preemie back to the nursery during a possible epidemic, it would be over my dead body. lol
