At St. Luke's, Jennifer asked Eric to verify that the press release
that she had written for the school project was acceptable. After
confirming that the press release was fine, Eric thanked Jennifer for
agreeing to do the work pro bono.
Noting that Eric looked kind of pale, Jennifer hoped that he hadn't
been working too hard lately. Eric assured Jennifer that he was fine --
or, at least, that he hoped that he was fine. Eric explained
that Daniel was still trying to figure out what had caused Eric's
mysterious illness. Pointedly stating that he had talked to Daniel
earlier, Eric wondered if there was anything that he could do for
Jennifer.
Avoiding the implied reason for Eric's question, Jennifer admitted
that she wouldn't mind a few prayers for J.J., who had made some poor
choices recently. Eric advised Jennifer to give J.J. a chance, reasoning
that every child simply needed someone who was willing to believe in
them. Eric added that he had heard that Jennifer had hired his cousin, Theresa.
Eric was glad that Theresa was working for someone who was
understanding and wouldn't hold things against her. Eric's statement
confused Jennifer, so he elaborated that Kim and Shane had a lot of
parenting stories of their own that they might one day be willing to share with Jennifer. Eric advised Jennifer to talk to Daniel, noting that relationships rarely seemed to work unless both parties were willing to communicate with each other.
Eric pointed out that Jennifer could still make J.J. her top
priority without removing everyone else from her life in the process.
Eric urged Jennifer to share her true feelings with Daniel. After
leaving Eric's office, Jennifer considered calling Daniel, but she
decided that she didn't want to send him mixed signals.
In Daniel's apartment,
Daniel accused Kristen of invading his privacy and snooping through a
patient's confidential medical files. Kristen feigned ignorance,
claiming that she had actually been reading a note from Jennifer that
Daniel had left on his desk. Kristen apologized and conceded that she
had a tendency to overstep sometimes. Kristen hoped that Daniel would
believe that her heart had been in the right place.
Kristen explained that she simply didn't want Daniel and Jennifer
to get their hearts broken the same way that Kristen's heart had been
broken. Daniel pointed out that Brady's
heart had also been broken, and he observed that Kristen probably
wasn't the best person to seek relationship advice from. Conceding
Daniel's point, Kristen agreed to leave.
Maggie
arrived as Kristen was leaving Daniel's apartment. Daniel told Maggie
that Kristen had been trying to repair the rift in his relationship with
Jennifer. Maggie was surprised to learn that she and Kristen actually
had a common goal for once. Daniel said that he had asked Kristen to
stay out of the situation, and he admitted that he wished that Maggie would have stayed out of it, too.
Maggie apologized, guessing that her interference had only made
things worse. Daniel informed Maggie that he and Jennifer had decided to
take a break. Maggie tried to probe for additional information, but
Daniel asked her to drop the subject. Ignoring Daniel's request, Maggie
pointed out that she knew Jennifer better than he did, and she insisted
that Jennifer didn't really want to be left alone.
Maggie urged Daniel to tell Jennifer that he didn't want to take a
break. Daniel considered calling Jennifer, but he decided that he needed
to respect her decision. Daniel thanked Maggie for agreeing to watch Parker for a while so that Daniel could continue to work on figuring out what had happened to Eric. Later, after Maggie and Parker left, Daniel received a phone call from the specialist who had agreed to examine Eric's medical files.
The specialist assured Daniel that there was nothing out of the
ordinary in the files. Daniel thanked the specialist and ended the call,
but he was clearly not satisfied with the answer that he had received.
Refusing to give up, Daniel started to examine the files again.
At the Brady Pub, Caroline offered to let Theresa live in the vacant room above the pub, but Theresa insisted that she hadn't moved to Salem
to take advantage of her family members. Caroline noted that, according
to Kim, Theresa hadn't wanted to move to Salem at all. Theresa believed
that her parents had simply wanted to get rid of her for a while, but
Caroline asserted that Kim and Shane had just wanted Theresa to have a
fresh start.
Theresa admitted that seeing Caroline in the hospital in California
the previous fall had been scary. Caroline warned that she would still
need Theresa's patience occasionally, prompting Theresa to reply that
Caroline had always been patient with her. Theresa didn't know what she
would have done if she hadn't had Caroline to talk to about her problems
lately. Caroline stressed that she would always be there when Theresa
needed someone to talk to.
After Theresa left, Eric visited Caroline, who was thrilled that
she had been lucky enough to receive a visit from two of her
grandchildren on the same day. "[Theresa] looks wonderful, you know.
Sometimes I wonder if that could be a curse more than a blessing, if you
know what I mean. Well, I mean, you should know, my handsome grandson -- you should know more about that than most people," Caroline told Eric.
In a secluded section of Horton Town Square, Kristen met with
Chyka, who said that he had examined the images of Eric's medical files
that she had sent him earlier. Chyka assured Kristen that the masking
agents in the drugs were working properly, meaning that no one would be
able to look at the files and figure out what she had done to Eric.
"All I've gotta do is one more thing. It's all gonna come out when
and where I want it...to the people I want to show it to," Kristen
muttered after Chyka left. Later, Kristen met with Sarah, the woman whom
Kristen had hired to make sure that no one would be able to tell that
the video of Kristen drugging and seducing Eric had been edited.
Watching the video clearly made Sarah uncomfortable, but she confirmed
that it looked authentic.
"I've said it before, Marlena -- karma's a bitch, and she's coming
after you in spades," Kristen muttered after Sarah left. Later, Kristen
visited Eric at St. Luke's. "I just wanted to share something with you,"
Kristen cryptically stated as she smiled at Eric.
At the hospital, Theresa rushed into Jennifer's office, where
Jennifer was already waiting for her. Jennifer said that she had heard
that Theresa had never made it to the human resources department
earlier. Jennifer reminded Theresa that the hospital wouldn't be able to
start paying her until she filled out the human resources department's
paperwork. Jennifer pointedly added that Theresa would only get paid when she was actually doing work.
Theresa apologized for her tardiness, explaining that she had gone
to the pub to visit Caroline earlier. Jennifer sweetly assured Theresa
that she understood, adding that she was simply trying to make sure that
Theresa didn't get off on the wrong foot at the hospital. Unconvinced,
Theresa suspected that Jennifer was really just trying to show Theresa
who the boss was.
Theresa guessed that Jennifer was probably still upset about
Theresa's earlier visit to the Horton house. After confirming Theresa's
suspicion, Jennifer suggested that it would probably be best for them to
just put that incident behind them and focus on their work. As Jennifer
assembled a packet of documents for Theresa to work on, she pointedly
informed Theresa that J.J. was about to start his senior year of high
school.
Jennifer guessed that Theresa was probably at the point in her life
where she no longer had any interest in the high school scene. Theresa
guessed that Jennifer was trying to tell her to stay away from J.J., but
Jennifer simply advised Theresa to use her time wisely. After Jennifer
left the room, Theresa eyed the bag of joints in her purse. "Sorry,
J.J.'s mom. I might be yours nine-to-five, but when I'm home, my life is
all mine," Theresa muttered.
At the DiMera mansion, Sami wondered how Stefano
had reacted to being kicked out of his company and his house. E.J.
gloated that Stefano had been furious. E.J. laughed as he recalled the
threats that Stefano had made before leaving the mansion, but Sami
wasn't amused. Sami's reaction puzzled E.J., who couldn't believe that
she was actually upset about what he had done to Stefano.
Sami said that she had every right to be upset about the fact that
E.J. had never bothered to warn her that he had been planning to destroy
their lives. E.J. told Sami that he had actually improved their lives
exponentially. E.J. insisted that he deserved some praise for pulling
off the coup of the century. E.J. proudly summarized that he had just
ensured that Sami and the kids would never have to worry about Stefano
again.
"You kidding me? I'm more worried now than I ever have been in my entire life, and that's actually saying a lot. You're really standing there, crowing about how you pulled off the coup of the century? E.J., from where I stand, you're a fool,"
Sami angrily replied. E.J. warned Sami to refrain from insulting him in
the future, but she dismissively reminded him that they regularly
called each other names.
E.J. wondered why Sami always felt the need to act like a petulant,
disrespectful adolescent every time that he dared to make a decision
without asking for her approval first. Sami guessed that E.J. hadn't
asked for her approval because he had known that she never would have
given it to him. "The reason I didn't tell you about it is because I
knew that you wouldn't be able to keep your bloody mouth shut!" E.J.
snapped.
Sami incredulously replied that she was better at lying and keeping
secrets than anyone else on the planet. E.J. claimed that he had simply
been trying to protect Sami, although he admitted that he had also been
trying to protect himself, since he had known that she would have
driven him crazy if she had known the truth. Sami said that E.J. was
being unfair.
E.J. countered that Sami was the person who was being unfair, since
she had chosen to "bitch and moan" about being left out of the planning
stages of E.J.'s scheme instead of celebrating its success. "Oh, my
God, you are missing the point! You left me out of the planning stage of
this because you knew I would never agree to it. I would never, in a million years, have agreed to you making a mortal enemy out of Stefano DiMera, because now he will dedicate himself to getting revenge against you, me, and our children!" Sami snapped.
E.J. once again called Sami a petulant adolescent, insisting that
if she would just listen to him for a moment, she would realize that
Stefano no longer had the power to hurt them. Still skeptical, Sami
wondered if Stefano had been left penniless. E.J. admitted that Stefano
was not penniless, but he impatiently added that Stefano had lost
everything that was important, such as the company, the mansion, and the private jet.
"So what about his pride? Did you take that from him, too? Did you
take back his need for revenge? Have you forgotten what he's holding
over us, or do you just not care that Stefano DiMera is not the
kind of man who is just going to crawl away and disappear? No, I'm
pretty sure he's going to be licking his wounds and planning his revenge
-- his vengeance against you -- and anyone who stands in his way will be history, including my son. He has evidence that could put Will in prison, but you're too busy dealing with your daddy issues to realize that I might lose my son forever!" Sami angrily shouted.
E.J. reasoned that Stefano could not expose Will without also
exposing Stefano's connection to Bernardi. E.J. was certain that Stefano
did not want anyone to find out about that connection, since Stefano
had fled town the moment that he had heard about Bernardi's death. E.J.
added that Stefano liked Will and would never punish Will for something
that E.J. had done.
Sami sarcastically agreed that Stefano had always played fairly.
Sami added that Stefano knew that the best way to hurt E.J. would be to
hurt E.J.'s loved ones. E.J. impatiently pounded his fists against the
nearby desk, loudly reiterating that he and Sami no longer had to worry
about Stefano.
"You saying that -- you shouting that at me -- does not make it true! You are standing there, callously -- irrationally
-- being so cavalier about -- about the safety of our children. If you
think Stefano isn't gonna come at you guns blazing, then you are a
fool!" Sami countered. E.J. wondered why Sami -- who seemed to think
that he was a foolish, callous, irresponsible, delusional man who didn't
love her or the kids enough to protect them and put their lives ahead
of everything else -- had agreed to marry him in the first place.
Sami said that she had agreed to marry E.J. because she loved him. E.J. wanted to know why
Sami loved him, so she replied that he had shown her a side of himself
that no one else had ever been allowed to see. Advancing toward Sami,
E.J. wondered if she also loved the side of him that other people did get to see -- the side that was strong and ruthless.
Sami said that she loved E.J.'s ruthless side when he was being ruthless for the sake of their family. E.J. shouted that everything
that he did was for the sake of his family. E.J. grabbed Sami and
pushed her against the nearby chess table, wondering if she believed
that he was more powerful than Stefano was. Sami whispered that she
believed that E.J. was the most powerful man whom she had ever known.
Sami and E.J.'s anger quickly turned to passion, and they started
to make love. Afterward, E.J. asked Sami to say that she didn't doubt
him and that she knew that he had done the right thing, and she happily
complied. "Stefano is never going to be able to hurt you or anybody in
our family ever again. If he does, I'll kill him," E.J. assured Sami.
E.J. claimed that he had seized control of DiMera Enterprises for
Sami's benefit, but she found it hard to believe that his desire to make
Stefano pay for disowning him hadn't been a motivating factor. E.J.
conceded that letting a good opportunity
for revenge go to waste would have been a pity. E.J. predicted that he
and Sami were going to be one of history's most compelling power couples, prompting Sami to name a few.
After Sami named Bonnie and Clyde and Antony and Cleopatra, E.J.
changed his mind, deciding that no known power couple was a match for
him and Sami. "I'll tell you this much -- we're going to have a very
different, very happy ending in our future," E.J. confidently predicted,
referring to the tragic endings of the power couples that Sami had
mentioned.
At the Kiriakis mansion, Adrienne stormed into the living room and
demanded to know when Justin had been planning to tell her that he had
gotten into bed with the DiMeras. Justin calmly replied that he was on
his way to a meeting and didn't have time to get caught up in Adrienne's
drama. Adrienne countered that Justin was the person who had inflicted
drama on their entire family. Justin said that he had simply been doing
his job.
Adrienne was concerned about what was going to happen next, but
Justin failed to understand why that was their problem to worry about.
"How clueless are you? What, do you think Stefano DiMera's just gonna
pick up his marbles and go home? You think he's gonna suddenly morph
into a gentle, passive person? Guess what, Justin -- I don't have your
faith in the man's essential humanity finally surfacing now that
you and his son have royally screwed him! He's gonna be out for blood --
yours, mine, and Sonny's, too!" Adrienne predicted.
Justin wondered if Adrienne really believed that he would have
agreed to do something that would have endangered his family. Adrienne
suggested that E.J. had managed to fool Justin into thinking that their
scheme would be perfectly safe. Adrienne said that Justin's willingness
to help Sami get away with murdering a cop had been humiliating enough before Adrienne had learned that he had also gotten himself involved in the DiMera family's illegal activities.
Justin stressed that everything that he and E.J. had done had been
completely legitimate. Adrienne shook her head and wondered what had
happened to Justin. "It's like the man I married has suddenly morphed
into some amoral bastard who doesn't give a damn about anything but
getting ahead -- or wherever you think this sickening alliance is gonna
get you. Where's your self-respect? Where's your integrity?" Adrienne
tearfully asked.
Insulted, Justin started to leave, but Adrienne stopped him.
Adrienne insisted that there had never been anything legitimate about
the DiMeras. Justin pointed out that Adrienne had never complained about
living in the forty-room mansion that Victor's money had paid for.
Adrienne noted that, with Justin's help, Victor had turned his business
into something that the whole family could be proud of, prompting Justin
to wonder if she believed that E.J. was incapable of doing the same
thing.
"Look, you know what? I really don't care what people are saying
about this deal. I really don't care, because it's all on the up-and-up.
So you can just keep on second-guessing me and -- and taking this
morally superior tone -- which is, as I pointed out, hypocritical, at
the very least -- but that's your problem, not mine!" Justin snapped. Adrienne suggested that Justin needed to start thinking about someone other than himself.
"Oh, I know. I hate thinking about other people!" Justin
sarcastically replied. Adrienne wondered if knowing that Sonny was
living with Will or that Sami was about to marry E.J. concerned Justin
at all. "No, it doesn't! Sonny is a grown man, and I trust him to make
the right decisions. But lately, I'm not sure I can say the same thing
about you," Justin said before storming out of the mansion.
Later, while Adrienne and Maggie were playing with Parker, Adrienne
decided to show him the video of Will and Arianna that Sonny had sent
to her cell phone earlier. Meanwhile, Maggie poured drinks for everyone
at the nearby bar. When Adrienne noticed that Maggie was having trouble
carrying all of the drinks back to the couch, she rushed over to help
Maggie, leaving the cell phone laying on the coffee table.
When the video of Will and Arianna ended, the video of Sami's argument with Bernardi automatically started playing.
