DAYS Week of May 18, 2009
Monday
At Maggie's, Mia confided to Brady that she never did drugs or alcohol and explained that she lied to a friend about being in rehab because she didn't want him to know the truth. Will came in at that moment but excused them to let them talk. "He doesn't know about the baby," Brady deduced. Mia confirmed it and explained that she was trying to cover her pregnancy with the rehab story. Brady urged her to keep the secret about Sydney, then took off. Will could tell Mia was upset and asked why. She explained that she lied about her addiction and that she doesn't go to meetings every night like she said. He didn't understand why she lied, but said he was still her friend.
Arianna overheard Rafe ordering flowers for Sami. She warned her brother that she thought Sami was a "bitch on wheels" and that she would surely break his heart. Things got awkward when she referenced Rafe and Sami's sex life. Arianna asked what Rafe even saw in Sami. Rafe tried to explain it to her and asked what Arianna had against her. Arianna said she had heard stories about Sami and again warned him to be careful.
Sami demanded to know what was going on at the DiMera mansion, but EJ told her it was none of her business. He assured Sami that Johnny would be safe.
At the K manse, a drugged Philip looked for Stephanie, then passed out on the living room floor. Steph, meanwhile, had been kidnapped by Owen and put in the morgue, in a drawer. Owen called EJ, but Sami grabbed the phone before EJ could answer. EJ grabbed it back. It fell and broke. EJ was peeved, as was Sami for him even thinking of taking a call during their discussion. EJ ordered her out. Back at the morgue, Owen panicked that he couldn't get EJ on the line. Owen's father, Walter, came in and asked what Owen was doing. Owen quickly hid Stephanie and asked his father why he was there. Walter explained that his mortician's convention had been pushed back. Owen covered that he was thinking of making a career change to work at the morgue. Walter advised him to stay out of trouble and left. Owen noted that Steph's earring was missing.
Daniel found Philip on the floor of the mansion and called an ambulance. Philip came to, overheard Dr. J on the phone and refused to leave and go to the hospital. Daniel canceled the ambulance. He feared Philip was drugged again and gave him a new prescription. Phil said he just wanted to stay home with his fiancée. Daniel was surprised by his news and wondered if it was the right time to be getting married. Phil said it was and went to look for Steph. When he returned, he told Daniel he couldn't find her.
Sami returned home. Rafe showed up with the flowers and noticed that she had lost some of her voice. She explained that she fought with EJ and lost it. She said she wanted Johnny to come home. Rafe said he would talk to EJ but Sami blurted out no. Rafe insisted he would protect her and would deal with EJ. Sami, moved by everything he said, grabbed him and kissed him.
Arianna came out of the Brady Pub as Brady was leaving a message for Nicole about Mia. He accused her of eavesdropping. She noted that he was in a public place and perhaps shouldn't talk there if he didn't want to be heard. He asked what she heard him say, but she told him she didn't hear a thing. He introduced himself, but she wasn't into making nice after he had been so rude. He pressed and told her he was Brady Black. When she heard his name, she worried she'd be fired from the Pub. He said he didn't have anything bad to say to Caroline about her. "I actually have a soft spot for feisty types," he smirked.
EJ found one of Stefano's secret cell phones and was relieved he could call Owen. Owen didn't pick up the phone, though.
Tuesday
Philip was frantic when he couldn't find Stephanie. EJ desperately tried to contact Owen, who wasn't picking up his cell phone. He texted Owen instead. Philip called Owen and asked if he had seen Stephanie. Owen lied that he hadn't, adding that he overheard Steph and Philip arguing earlier and perhaps she just took off. Philip called Steph's cell phone and left a very apologetic message, assuring her he loved her and it was the pain meds talking during their spat.
Nicole came upon an angry EJ, who was furious that Johnny wouldn't stop crying upstairs. A stunned Nicole shut off the baby monitor and calmed EJ down. EJ tried Owen again and he finally picked up. He reported that yes, he had Steph. Steph, meanwhile, woke up in the morgue drawer and whimpered. She grabbed her cell and started to make a call, but Owen pulled her out of the drawer before she could finish. He was very apologetic but said nobody could know where she was. She freaked out when she realized she was in a morgue and felt very weak. He assured her she'd be okay, then noted that in spite of the trauma, she still looked beautiful. He snapped a photo of her on her cell phone. She surreptitiously grabbed a pair of scissors and tried to attack Owen. He stopped her and insisted he was her friend. He shoved a sobbing Steph back in the drawer.
Victor called EJ to ask about the documents and whether or not they were signed. He reminded EJ that Stefano would die if EJ didn't turn over DiMera Enterprises. EJ said he'd be in touch. Stefano warned Vic not to underestimate Elvis.
Sami and Rafe kissed, then talked about how happy they were together. Grace started crying, so Sami went to give her a bottle, but promised to be back. Rafe disappeared for a moment, then returned, picked her up and carried her to the bedroom, where they made love for the first time. He told her she was all he ever wanted. "I'm so happy. I have never felt this way before," she cried.
Brady made another call outside the Brady Pub, this time a business call. Arianna once again overheard. They shared a chuckle about it. She returned his credit card and noted she had never seen one like it before. She remarked that he was rich and cute to boot. He smiled that she gave him a compliment. They flirted and traded barbs. He told her that for the record, he thought she was cute, too. Arianna took off. Philip came upon Brady. Brady asked where the bodyguards were and noted that his uncle seemed unsteady on his feet. Phil insisted it was from the meds and that he had to find Stephanie. The men argued over Brady's lack of loyalty to the family. A miffed Brady took off. Philip called Max to see if he had seen Steph. Philip wondered if Steph took off to see Patch and Kayla. EJ came upon Philip on the pier in the exact spot where Tony died. The men faced off. EJ dropped the bomb that he had Stephanie.
Brady went to the Java Café and ran into Arianna again. She spilled coffee on him by mistake.
Wednesday
Sami and Rafe basked in the afterglow of their lovemaking and had a playful time in bed. Grace cried; Rafe went in to check on her. Sami overheard him talking to the baby on the monitor. She got dressed and joined him and Grace in the living room. She told him she planned to tell Will that they are a couple. He said he should make a proper commitment to her. "I want to be a father to Grace in every way," he explained.
Victor taunted a captive Stefano, but the Phoenix was sure EJ would soon have the upper hand. On the pier, EJ revealed to Philip that he had Stephanie. Philip accused him of bluffing but EJ confidently declared that he nabbed her. An irate Phil noted that the feud did not extend to innocent parties. EJ offered a trade: Stefano for Stephanie. Philip realized that EJ drugged him, but EJ played innocent. Philip agreed to the deal. EJ said he wanted his father released immediately. "I'm sorry, EJ. I can't do that," Phil replied, then asked for proof. EJ whipped out his cell phone and showed the photo of Steph that Owen took. Phil said he would talk to Victor. EJ warned him not to get Bo involved, then ripped up the contract that Victor had drawn up and took off. Phil was peeved. He called his father and said they needed to speak immediately. Philip blew into the house and revealed that Steph had been taken. "It's unfortunate," sighed Victor. Philip demanded that his father release Stefano but Victor said no.
At the morgue, Stephanie cried and begged Owen to let her out of the drawer. He did, but told her she couldn't attack him again. She was confused about what was going on. A nervous Owen advised her to shut up and stop screaming. She tried to point out to him that he would be in a lot of trouble for kidnapping her, both with the Kiriakises and the cops. Owen insisted he was a good guy. "Under different circumstances, I bed you'd even like me," he told her. She said she would because he seemed like a good person. He said that was true and the kidnapping was a first-time deal for him. She tried to sweet-talk him into letting her out. She asked him for water and to sit up to drink it. He helped her up and apologized that her earring was lost. She said it had sentimental value, but understood that things got lost. Owen's cell phone rang but he ignored it. Steph claimed to Owen that she had back problems and her back was bothering her. He helped her off the slab. Owen's cell phone rang. She kneed him in the groin and picked it up, thinking it was Philip. She called out for him to help her, but it was EJ on the other end of the line.
After spilling hot coffee on Brady, Arianna got him ice. Melanie was also at the Java Café and debated selling Stephanie's earring online. She approached Brady and Arianna and checked out Brady's burn, then went back to her online wheeling and dealing. The waiter approached Brady to ask if he was in to play softball. Brady said yes, then noted his equipment was at Sami's place, John and Marlena's old house. Arianna asked how he was related to Sami. Brady explained she was his step-sister. Arianna said she wasn't a fan. He said Sami meant well, but admitted they didn't always get along, either. Arianna left. Brady sat with Melanie an asked what she was doing with the earring. She said it was Steph's and debated selling it but decided against it. Brady was impressed by her maturity.
Thursday
Rafe told Sami he wanted to make more of a commitment to her and Grace and adopt the baby. She asked if he was proposing marriage. Before he could respond, she thanked him but said she didn't think she could get married because it was too soon. He pointed out that he never asked her. She was miffed, which amused him. "Wait a second. So you're mad at me for not proposing, even though you don't want to marry me?" he smirked. "Yes. No. Maybe," she replied with mock-anger. He assured her they'd be together for a long time. "Good save," she smiled. She then pointed out to him that it would be hard to go to court for the adoption without revealing that she was Grace's mother. Sami added that him adopting Grace would mean a lot to her. He was thrilled that she was on board. She asked if she could make him something to eat. He said yes, as long as it wasn't oatmeal or formula or juice boxes. They began making out on the couch. Will came home and interrupted. His plans had gotten canceled. Rafe left. Will asked if Rafe would have spend the night if he hadn't come home. Sami was taken aback and suggested Rafe be a little more tactful when asking her about her personal life. He thought they were moving a little fast. Gulp. Sami told him that Rafe wanted to adopt Grace.
Arianna ran into Rafe at the Brady Pub. He was eating so she sat down with him and noticed he seemed quite happy. "Is it Tammy?" she asked. "Sami," Rafe replied. She laughed that she knew, but it was fun to get a rise out of him. He told her about adopting Grace. She warned him that Sami was trouble. He said it was meant to be. Arianna noted that Sami was lucky to have him but worried that "it's all happening again."
Philip and Victor faced off over trading Stephanie for Stefano. Phil informed his father that he wasn't asking permission to do the trade, he was telling Vic that it was for sure going to happen. Vic insisted that the DiMeras were bluffing and weren't going to harm Steph. "Either you help me get her back or I'll do it myself," Philip warned. Their standoff continued. Victor pointed out that since Steph was a witness, she may not be safe even if they let her go in exchange for Stefano. "Well, you sure know how to calm a guy down," Phil noted, adding that Victor had "screwed up big-time." Vic sighed and apologized. Philip told Victor that if he lost Stephanie, he would never forgive his father. Vic relented.
At the morgue, Steph yelled into the cell phone, hoping it was Philip, unaware that it was EJ on the other end of the phone. Back at the DiMera mansion, EJ was alarmed to hear that things seemed so out of control. Nicole entered and asked her hubby if everything was okay. He said nothing would be okay until Stefano returned. She pressed for him to open up to her, insisting she was loyal and that nothing he said would change how she felt about him. "I love you and there are no conditions," she assured him. A seemingly remorseful EJ eventually revealed that he thinks he may have crossed a line by having Stephanie kidnapped. Nicole wasn't shocked and told her hubby that she hopes Victor burned in hell for what he had done. She was supportive and then some. He told her about Owen. She assured him everything would be okay. Philip called EJ and told him the switch was on.
Stephanie got away from Owen, snatched her cell phone and tried to call Philip. Owen found her outside before she could do any damage and they struggled. She fell and hit her head. He brought her back inside then realized he left the phone outside.
Friday
Sami wondered why Will was so suspicious of Rafe's motives regarding adopting Grace. He thought it was shifty that it was happening so fast and that Sami and Rafe weren't getting married. Sami insisted Rafe meant well. Sami asked Will to watch Grace so she could go to the Pub. Mia came over. Will complained about the studying he was doing. Mia asked what else was wrong. He told her about his fight with Sami. Mia asked to hold Grace and smiled at the baby in her arms.
Arianna restated her belief that Sami was not right for Rafe. She pointed out that "it's all happening again." Max overheard and asked what was all happening again. Arianna introduced Max to Rafe. "Sami's Rafe, right?" Max asked. Rafe excused himself to make a phone call. Max asked Arianna about her ominous conversation earlier. She brushed it off as brother/sister stuff and asked him to forget what he heard. He said he would, then went to chat with Chelsea in London. Rafe returned to the table. Arianna assured him Max would keep mum.
Sami ran into Rafe at the Pub. She told Rafe about Will's reaction to the adoption and pointed out that she was lying to her son and he could tell. Rafe insisted it was all to keep Grace safe from EJ. He added that he was there for Sami and she didn't have to go through things alone anymore. They kissed.
In the morgue, Owen tended to an unconscious Stephanie's facial wound and covered it up with the makeup used on dead bodies. He marveled at her beauty and vowed he wouldn't turn her over to Mr. DiMera.
Philip and EJ made plans to meet up and make the Stefano/Stephanie exchange. Philip revealed that Stefano had received his dose of insulin. After, Philip went over details with Victor. Brady came in and asked what was going on, but they didn't respond. Victor excused himself. Brady confronted Philip, who insisted he and Victor were taking the high road and were going to end the feud peacefully. Philip cryptically added that he was going to make things right. Brady asked what he meant, but Philip said he couldn't tell.
Owen went to find the phone he dropped outside. It was ringing: EJ was calling. EJ demanded to know why Owen hadn't been in touch. Owen apologized. EJ asked him to bring Stephanie to a meeting spot. Owen asked if she would be okay. EJ told him not to ask questions. After they hung up, Owen sighed that EJ was planning something bad. Back inside, Steph came to and asked what happened to her. Owen told her she fell. She noticed that her hands were tied and asked him to untie her but he said he couldn't. She promised to be good. He told her it didn't matter because she would be leaving soon. She panicked that he was turning her over to the DiMeras. "They're going to kill me!" she exclaimed. She urged him not to take her to EJ.
Bo went to the Pub, where he was waiting for warrants. He told Max he put a tail on Victor, but Vic had dodged the surveillance team.
EJ called Philip back and they secured plans to meet. Brady overheard Philip's end of the conversation and deduced what was going on. Brady asked Phil if he had found Steph. Phil lied that he did. Philip took off. A worried Brady called Bo and asked him to meet. Bo hurried to the Java Caf. Brady reported that he was certain something had happened to Stephanie.
Victor fetched Stefano to ready him for the exchange. Stefano asked what had changed but Vic wouldn't tell. Philip arrived at the pier. Victor called to see if Stefano "the shipment" had made it there and Philip reported he had. EJ waited elsewhere to meet Owen, who was still at the morgue with Stephanie. He called Owen. Steph begged Owen not to answer, but he did. He told EJ that there had been a slight change in plans.
