Days Of Our Lives Recaps
DAYS Week of April 21, 2008
Monday
Chelsea was rushed to the hospital. Daniel ordered tests. Nick arrived and asked what was going on. Kate explained that there was a complication from the surgery. Nick reminded his girlfriend that they were supposed to have a movie marathon that day. While Kate and Nick waited outside, Dr. Jonas chatted with Chelsea. She was anxious to get her test results. He calmed her down by distracting her with talk of vacationing in Australia. She fantasized about him kissing her. He felt her pulse racing and asked if she was okay. She said she was. He left to go to the lab. Kate and Nick went back into Chelsea's room. He told her he canceled his class so he could be with her. Outside of the room, Daniel told Lexie that the results of the tests they ran on Chelsea weren't good.
At the DiMera mansion, EJ excitedly told Sami about his new office. She was taking the twins to the park. He wanted to go, but she said he shouldn't bother. She snidely announced that he should wait around in case his client, Nicole, needed him. He accused her of being jealous of Nicole. "How could you even suggest that?" she scoffed. They bickered about the leggy blonde.
Ava was still flipping out about Steve leaving her on their wedding day. He said he was sorry, but she didn't believe him. "I will never, ever forgive you," she sobbed. She lashed out at the group, then accused Kayla of destroying her life. Kayla pointed out that Ava destroyed the lives of Shawn, Sr and the pilots. Ava apologized. Steve insisted it wasn't Kayla's fault. He then pulled Angelo aside and urged him to get Ava to snap out of it. Angelo told George to put the gun down. George and Angelo tied their captives up and left with Ava. The foursome regrouped, but a bleeding Hope was fading fast. Steve apologized to everyone; Hope passed out. Kayla and Bo urged George to call 911 or untie Kayla, but he reported that Hope was still breathing so there was no need. Bo got angry, so George pistol-whipped him. Angelo returned and felt Hope's pulse, which he said was strong. Kayla urged him to let her check Hope out, to no avail. Steve called for Ava. She came in and calmly reported that said she had news. She decided that she wouldn't kill anyone, but would claim Kayla's baby as her own once it was born. "Do you really think I'm going to give you my baby?" Kayla asked incredulously, then insisted it would never happen. Steve echoed the sentiment. Ava said it would be payback for him ruining her life. "You're never going to get away with this," Kayla cried. Ava then told them that once Kayla had the baby, Ava would decide who gets to live and die.
Tuesday
Victor, Nick and Kate visited with Chelsea in the hospital. Turns out, she has peritonitis and Daniel ordered a course of treatment. Lexie tried to track down Bo to tell him about Chelsea being hospitalized but was unsuccessful. Kate fumed that Chelsea never should have risked her life for Bo, but Chelsea said it wasn't anybody's fault and defended Daniel. Lexie told Victor that she couldn't reach Bo, Hope, Steve or Kayla. Lexie asked Victor about the Vitalis. Victor told her it was a mob family and that they probably had something to do with the disappearances.
Nick walked in as Chelsea and Daniel were bantering. Kate and Nick were later relieved when Chelsea's fever subsided. "The age of wonder drugs," Daniel noted, then left to report the good news to Victor. Vic told his godson that Bo was missing. Daniel said it was a big risk for Bo to be out of the hospital.
Chelsea daydreamed about Daniel kissing her and telling her he loved her. Nick asked what was wrong. "Nothing, I must have been dreaming," she grimaced.
At the Salem gym, Sami was working out on the treadmill when EJ came in. He asked her what happened to her going to the park. She said she needed to work off some steam. Nicole came in and complimented Sami on trying to lose the postpartum pounds. "Baby fat is not your friend," she snarked. The women bickered. Sami and EJ then began to squabble. Maggie came in and Nicole insulted her. Jillian, the trainer, came over and made a snide remark about Nicole's "assets bottoming out," then praised Maggie for how well she did with her workout. Earth Day chatter ensued. Sami headed for the steam room, then talked with Maggie about Lucas and EJ. Nicole and EJ discussed her impending divorce from Mr K. "I want to watch Victor bleed money," she explained. EJ pointed out that Vic would do everything he could to keep her from getting a penny. EJ went to check on the twins. After, Sami spied Nicole holding Allie and told Nicole to keep her hands off of her children. Allie began to cry. Sami stormed off with the baby. When she returned, she warned Nicole to stay away from the kids. Nicole remarked that it was good Sami didn't have triplets, since it was already hard to keep the babies' fathers straight. Sami punched Nicole in the face. EJ broke it up. Nicole hoped she didn't bruise since she had a date with John that night. Sami was flabbergasted.
Morgan came into the gym to find Philip pumping iron. They flirted. Philip told her his problem was not her, it was her father. Morgan told Philip that her father said he was innocent of the charges against him. "Of course he did," Philip scoffed. They argued. Philip told her to advise Paul to steer clear of John. She told him he had some nerve, then said she didn't want to talk about her father or John anymore and just wanted to work out. Philip asked her what was wrong. She told him that Chelsea was in the hospital. He didn't know, then called Victor for an update. Morgan was relieved to hear that Chelsea was okay. Philip offered to take her to the hospital. She sad she had her own car. He once again warned her about her father and John. "I didn't know you cared," she smiled.
Paul visited John at the DiMera mansion. John said he needed some information and asked if Philip or Victor had ever tried to bribe Paul. Paul said he never took money, but that they had offered twice the money John did. He then insisted he was loyal to John but rued the day he got involved with him. John asked what he wanted. "To get my life back," Paul replied. John said he would be hearing from him in a couple of days. John assured Paul he would get his life and Morgan's respect back. "To the rebirth of Paul Hollingsworth and the demise of the Kiriakis empire," John toasted, then headed to the gym. He approached Philip and Morgan and made a veiled remark about working out.
Wednesday
At the DiMera manse, Sami walked in to find a shirtless John and was quite uncomfortable. An amused John put on a tank. She was relieved to hear that EJ was out of the house. After she left the room, EJ came in from the gym and whispered to John that he didn't want Sami to know that he was back. "And people think I have a bizarre marriage," cracked John. Speaking of, Marlena returned from her Colorado vacation, looking fetching in a black trench coat. The usual smoldering glances and husky murmurs ensued. Marlena said that she's ready to accept him as is — even though she'll "never give up on the old John." John mused that maybe she's afraid that she'll like the new him more. A flustered Marlena said she was going to take a bath, prompting John to start with the sexy talk again. He reached into her shopping bags, pulled out a lacy, black negligee and crowed that she was planning to wear it for him. Sami and EJ both walked in and Sami happily reunited with her mom, EJ slinked off and John ordered Rolf to put away the bags and work on his accent. Rolf was so not pleased. He went into a safe, hidden behind Stefano's portrait. When Marlena caught him, he stammered that the painting was crooked, then rushed off. Sami came back, raving about the gifts her mom had bought and asked her about the negligee. Marlena didn't want to talk about it. Sami warned her mom that "men are pigs." Marlena realized that she was talking about EJ. Sami unloaded about EJ agreeing to be Nicole's lawyer despite her protests. EJ eavesdropped as Marlena observed that it sounds like Sami has feelings for EJ. Sami got defensive at the suggestion that she might be jealous. She accused her mom of giving EJ too much credit for helping her find John. Marlena advised that she give her hubby the benefit of the doubt, EJ walked in and told her to listen to Marlena. Doc Evans was appalled to hear that her daughter had tried to "rearrange Nicole's face." Cranky John, who was trying to work, ordered them all to pipe down — or else.
Morgan showed up at the pub and confided to Max that her father is still in trouble. He was giving her a comforting hug when Stephanie walked in and got a little snippy. Max asked Morgan to give him and Steph a moment alone, then he assured Stephanie that the hug was innocent. A lurking man, one of Angelo's goons, watched them. Max served the girls apple pie la mode and everybody seemed to be getting along, but Steph was peeved by the southern belle's flirtatious ways. After Max talked some sense into her, Stephanie went to apologize to her sorority sister, who was getting cozy with a cutie named Joel. Before Stephanie could apologize, Morgan sweetly said that she was sorry for giving Stephanie the wrong idea. She encouraged Stephanie to let Max know that she loves him. Stephanie approached her beau, but then got shy about making her declaration of love in public. Max left for moment and the lights suddenly went out. Max announced there was an outage and asked the diners to leave the the pub. Alone with Morgan and Stephanie, a smirking Max turned the lights back on. Morgan took that as her cue to leave. Once they were alone, Stephanie told Max that she loves him. She regretted that she had blurted it out at the pub instead of in a romantic setting like the beach. Max grabbed some wine, put on some soft music and told her that he loves her, too. She beamed and then they started kissing passionately. Max pulled her into a slow dance. Creepy Thug watched through the window.
At the Vitali lair, Kayla demanded that Angelo let her speak to Ava alone. He threatened her, but she retorted that he'd never hurt her because she's carrying a baby, "the baby Ava wants." Sure enough, Ava showed up and the women began arguing over Steve. Kayla noticed Ava clutching a pill case and asked what she's taking. Ava was cagey about where she got the meds, Kayla gently said that she wants to help. Ava admitted that she's been to a lot of shrinks and none have been able to help her. Seeing Ava's bandaged hand, Kayla asked if she'd tried to kill herself. Miss Vitali admitted that she'd try to do herself in after Patch left and said she'd been on suicide watch ever since. Ava explained that her diagnosis is Brief Psychotic Disorder, adding, "not so brief, huh?" Kayla explained that the symptoms should have lasted only a month. Kayla explained that the pills may be doing more harm than good, but Ava argued that her psychiatrist was hand-picked by her father, insisting, " Daddy would not hire a quack, if that's what you're implying. He takes very good care of me." Despite Kayla's offers to help, Ava got angry and ordered her goons to lock up her rival. She warned them, "Don't hurt her — she's carrying my baby."
Thursday
Paul asked John what his plan is, but before John could answer, Marlena came in. She asked Paul point blank if he had anything to do with the Kiriakis dock business, but Paul played dumb. The doorbell rang; it was Philip. "Why am I not surprised to find you two together," he said after spying John and Paul together. Bickering ensued. Paul left. Philip and John got into it. Philip tried to put an end to the Kiriakis/Black battle, but John would have none of it. Philip left. Marlena told John that she is disappointed in him. "Maybe you wouldn't be so disappointed if you would stop comparing me to the old John," he noted. She tried to explain that life isn't about winning and losing. He countered that he needs a reason to get up in the morning. She said she'd give him one, then planted a kiss on him. He pulled away, asking if she is trying to bribe him. They kissed some more. When they finished, she said she had done a lot of thinking while she was gone and that she felt she needs to be aggressive in getting him to remember. He said that was good to know, but that he had to get ready for his hot date.
Daniel checked in on Chelsea at the hospital. Kate worried that she was still running a fever. Tony came by with flowers for Chels, but wanted to talk to Kate about the commercial. Chelsea asked about the commercial. Tony said it was for Kate's Hearth and Home. Chelsea urged her not to postpone it because she is sick. Kate told Tony she would be at the shoot. He was pleased.
Abe asked Lexie if Bo had heard from Hope. Lexie reported that Bo was now missing, too, as were Steve and Kayla. They shared Ava information. Abe went in to talk to Chelsea to see if she knew anything about Bo and Hope. Chelsea was alarmed that they could be in danger. Abe assured her they would be found. After, Daniel went back into Chelsea's room to check in on her. She said she wished he weren't her doctor. He asked why. "Did I say that out loud?" she gulped, then covered that she knows there are rules between their doctors and patients. "If I wasn't your patient, then maybe you could or we could be like ... you know, in the normal way." She added that she was delirious from the drugs, but that he was way too worldly and too much "Older," he said.
Steve woke up in bed with Ava. "Welcome back to the good old days," she purred. He asked what she did to him. She said she took his clothes off, but that nothing happened. He demanded to know where Kayla, Bo and Hope are. Ava insisted they are fine, then turned the conversation to their baby. "It's not our baby, Ava," Steve reminded her. They discussed him leaving her at the altar again. He said he knew in his gut that something is wrong, even before Stefano's men came to get him. Ava insisted he was still the man she fell in love with. "I think you're fooling yourself," he told her. He also acknowledged that they had good times and good sex together, but that it was the past and she had to move on from him. She said she wouldn't give up. He asked if she would let everyone go if he stayed with her. They could make their own baby, he added. He kissed her, but not passionately. He said he'd have sex with her if she let Kayla, Bo and Hope go. She said no. "When we make love — make love — that's what it's gonna be because I want you, all of you —your whole heart, your whole soul. I don't just want your body." He told her he couldn't make those promises because he is still in love with his wife. Ava was not happy with that remark, but she took his terms. They got into the bed and began to kiss.
Friday
A bedazzled Marlena walked into the study to find John setting a romantic table. She thought it was for her, but when he said it wasn't, she asked who he was dining with. He told her it was Nicole. "I didn't realize you were that well-acquainted," she remarked, then asked if it was a business date. "I believe I used the word 'hot,' " he replied. Marlena reminded him that they were still married and that the date with Nicole is inappropriate. "Jealousy becomes you," he grinned. "In fact, it's very, very sexy." She insisted she isn't jealous, but is upset. She wanted him to start acting like her husband. He said as long as she acted like his wife and slept with him.
Victor visited Chelsea, but she wasn't in her room because she was getting tests done. Nicole entered and railed at Victor because he was kicking her out of the house. She insisted she had every right to live there and said she was prepared to fight dirty and reveal his secret. He said she was bluffing. She told him he was making a big mistake and stormed off.
Chloe tracked down Philip at the Pub and informed him that Victor was throwing her out of the house.
Max and Stephanie continued their romantic dance at the Brady Pub. He let the customers back in and asked the bartender to cover for him. They went up to Max's room. He put on music, dimmed the lights and he and Steph began to kiss. They sat on the bed, where he assured her that they didn't have to do anything but talk if she didn't want to. She said that it felt right. "I want you, Max. I want us to be together," she told him. He was still unsure, so she told him to just kiss her. He complied. Things got really hot and heavy when Max backed off, saying that with Steve and Kayla gone, it wasn't the right time. "For the first time in my life, I know exactly what I want. And that's you, Stephanie Johnson. I want us. I mean, that's worth waiting for," he explained. She said she didn't know how much longer she could wait. They got dressed and went downstairs.
Abe and Roman took a table at the Pub to discuss Bo's disappearance, along with Steve, Hope and Kayla's. Abe feared their lives are in danger. "We have to find them now," he said. They met with Bo's informant and asked him to direct them to the Vitali compound.
At the Vitali compound, Kayla demanded to see Steve. She walked in to find Ava and Steve in bed together. Kayla freaked out, but Steve tried to calm her down. Ava told her to leave so she and Patch could continue their lovemaking. Steve and Ava got dressed. Steve was angry on Kayla's behalf. "What happened to you happened to Kayla, too. She lost the love of her life," Steve explained. Ava was peeved that Kayla ruined their night together.
In the hall, Bo got loose from the rope tie and beat up Vitali's thugs, knocking them out. He and Hope took their guns. Inside her room, Ava pulled out her gun. Bo came in. Steve knocked the gun out of Ava's hand and smacked her. He held the gun on her. Bo wanted to get out of there, but Steve was worried about Steph and the guy who was following her. They used one of the guards cellphones to call Steph and left a message. Steve threw the phone to Bo and told him to call the Salem PD and get some protection on Steph. Angelo came to and Bo swiped his walkie talkie. A guns-drawn Roman and Abe approached the house. Bo came out with Hope, Kayla, Steve and Ava. Abe cuffed Ava. Inside, Angelo made a call.
The doorbell rang at the DiMera mansion. It was Nicole. Before she came in the room, John assured Marlena that his dinner with Nicole was strictly business. Nicole came in and took off her fur coat to reveal a slinky dress. "You like?" she asked. "Oh, I like," he replied. Marlena glared in the background then left. Doc Evans ran into Rolf and insisted he reverse John's condition. He said he couldn't. Nicole noted that she was surprised to see Marlena there. John told her that he didn't want to talk about Marlena. She asked what he wanted to discuss. "You. Me. How good we could be together," he purred. He suggested they go to Napa, then Paris over the weekend. She said it sounded great as long as it didn't interrupt his schedule too much. "I know that you and Victor are engaged in a war of control of the docks," she said coyly. "Took you long enough," he replied, then informed her that he knew she was there to spy on him. Nicole denied it and accused him of being paranoid. He asked who sent her, Victor or Philip. She said neither and rushed off, but not before telling Marlena, "I'm sorry for your loss, Marlena. This man is nothing like the old John." Nicole suggested he get professional help. Marlena told her to do the same. They exchanged barbs and Nicole left. John commended Marlena on her spirited defense of him. He said that the evening was significant in that Marlena was beginning to accept him. She told him not to read too much into her reaction to his date. He told her that Victor and Philip made a big mistake trying to trick him.
Nicole found Chloe at the Pub and they shared a surprisingly nice moment. Nicole told her there was something she needed to know about Vic. "He knows where Brady is. He always has," Nicole announced. At the hospital, Philip confronted his father about kicking the women out. Victor wouldn't budge about Chloe and criticized Philip for taking Nicole and Chloe's side against the family.
Steph sat at the bar of the Pub. A man approached her and put a gun to her waist. "Make a sound and you're dead," he whispered.
