DAYS Week of June 22, 2009

Monday

Mia was stunned to see Chad, who said he was back in Salem for the summer and missed her. Mia flashed back to getting hot and heavy with Chad in the back of his car. Back to the present, Mia told Chad to leave. Chad followed Mia around, insisting they talk. Evan interrupted, telling Mia he got someone to cover her shift. Chad thought that was great. They'd have time to catch up. "We're over,” announced Mia, insisting she never wanted to see him again. After Mia left, Chad talked to Evan, who gave him a job at Java Café.

EJ served Sami with a court order for custody of Johnny. "Just like you took my daughter from me. And eye for an eye,” seethed EJ. Sister Agnes arrived at the church and Father Matt started to introduce her to Nicole. Sister Agnes said she already knew Nicole. Nicole said she must have her confused with someone else. Rafe told EJ what he was doing was wrong. Will interrupted and asked EJ for permission to visit his brother. EJ granted it. Will turned to leave. Sami begged him to stop. Will barked that EJ had every right to do what he was doing, since Sami and Rafe lied to him about Grace. Rafe promised Sami they'd fight this. Sami and EJ fought. Nicole interrupted. Sami yelled this was all Nicole's fault. EJ told Sami she had one hour to bring him Johnny. Sami left, and Father Matt approached EJ. "Don't do anything you will regret," he warned. EJ accused Sami of being the one who tried to play God. Nicole approached Sami, noting she had nothing to do with EJ's court order. Later, Nicole told EJ that maybe Sami didn't tell him about Grace because she hated her. EJ left to get Johnny, as Nicole prayed and sobbed.

Kate summoned Daniel to the Kiriakis terrace via telephone. Chris arrived with a dish of appetizers for the Hearth and Home shoot. After he left, Kate slipped on gloves and poisoned the food. Daniel arrived and Kate gave him a letter, promising all the proceeds from him doing the show would go to the cancer charity of his choice. She also noted she'd put the whole situation with him and Chloe behind her and suggested they drink to "new beginnings.” Kate and Daniel clinked their glasses in a toast. When Daniel left, Kate lifted his fingerprints from his glass and put them on the bottle of poison. Meanwhile, at Maggie's house, Chloe prepared for the shoot, as Lucas and Maggie sensed her uneasiness. Maggie approached Chloe about not being over Daniel. Will phoned Lucas and said they had to talk in person. Lucas left to meet his son. Chloe ran after him and ended up running into the arriving Daniel. Lucas met Will at the pier and confronted his dad about knowing the truth about Grace. Then, he dropped the bomb about EJ taking Johnny from Sami. Lucas ra n off to support Sami. Mia found Will, who sensed something was wrong. Mia didn't want to talk about it. Back at the shoot, Chris gave Chloe and Daniel direction on how to make the show fun. Kate arrived and took charge, toting the poisoned appetizers. She cooed that they were "to die for tasty." Daniel handed Chloe one of the tainted treats.

Sami and Rafe were back at her apartment. Same announced she'd just spoken to Mickey and had no choice but to comply with EJ's court order. She had to take Johnny to EJ. Rafe promised to help her fight this. Rafe left, and Sami packed up Johnny's things. Lucas arrived and explained he knew what was going on. He promised to help Sami fight this. Later, Sami arrived at the DiMera mansion with Johnny. EJ was icy cold, telling her to shut the door on her way out.

Nicole paid a visit to Grace's grave, remembering how she helped deliver her a few short months ago. She lamented switching Grace with Sydney. Nicole wondered if that caused Grace's death or it was just her time to pass away. Nicole asked God to forgive her as she broke down and sobbed, "Oh Grace. I would do anything to bring you back." A confused Rafe looked on.

Tuesday

Kate flashed back to poisoning the tray of appetizers at the Hearth and Home shoot. Chloe flashed back to romping with Daniel. Suddenly, the tray went flying. Lucas returned as the mess was being cleaned up. Chris emerged with a new tray of treats. "No. They won't work," snapped Kate, realizing they were poison free. Alone, Kate pulled out her vial and tainted the deviled eggs. Chloe went to Daniel's dressing room and apologized for what happened. Daniel realized Chloe was nervous. "You don't think we can be together without something happening, do you?" he asked. Chloe admitted she didn't. The pair discussed doing the show, because of the large sum of money being donated to the cancer fund. Kate asked Chris to guard the plate of appetizers; then, went off to check on Daniel and Chloe. Lucas returned and took over the plate watch. Upstairs, Chloe helped Daniel put on a clean shirt, when he noticed her dress zipper was unzipped. Daniel stepped behind Chloe to zip it up, as Kate watched and seethed through the ajar door. Lucas started getting hungry and zoned in on the deviled eggs. "They won't miss just one," he noted.
Rafe found Nicole at Grace's grave and asked what she was doing there. Nicole said she was paying her respects. Rafe was suspicious, since she had no real connection to Grace. Nicole noted Grace was her daughter's sister and would always have a place in her heart. She felt sorry for Grace and Sami. First, Sami had to bury a child. Now she faced losing Johnny. Rafe asked Nicole to talk to EJ about the injunction. Arianna interrupted the twosome. After Nicole left, Rafe went on about baby Grace. He realized the best way to honor her memory was to help Sami. Later, Rafe walked through the cemetery and knelt at another grave: Emily Hudson.
Sami brought Johnny to the DiMera mansion and told EJ she wasn't leaving until they got things straight. After Harold took Johnny off, Sami laced into EJ about being a sociopath and unfit parent. EJ reminded Sami she'd kept Grace from him. Then, he went off on Sami for being duplicitous and shacking up with Rafe. Sami defended Rafe, noting he was a good father to Grace and would be a good dad to Johnny. "I'll kill him before that happens," swore EJ. Sami vowed not to be cut out of her son's life and reminded EJ how Johnny wouldn't go to sleep without kissing her picture, when she was in the witness protection program. She begged EJ to try to understand why she kept Grace a secret. She did it to protect Grace. EJ wasn't in a forgiving mood. Any feelings he had for Sami were gone. Sami wondered what EJ would do when Johnny called out for her. Harold returned with Johnny, and EJ told his son to say goodbye to his mommy. Sami left, but vowed to f ight for Johnny. Nicole arrived, and EJ shared the details of his spat with Sami. Nicole said it was cruel never letting Johnny see Sami again. She begged EJ to forgive Sami for Johnny's sake. EJ said this was none of Nicole's business. Nicole insisted it was and warned EJ not to underestimate Sami.
Stephanie chatted on the phone with Abby about her upcoming wedding to Philip. Henderson arrived and handed her a letter from her mother. Philip walked out, and Steph lamented how much she missed her parents, who are off running a clinic in a Third World country, and brother Joe. Philip wanted to help the needy facility. Later, he returned noting his accountant was sending Kayla's medical team financial aid. Steph rewarded Philip with a kiss. Philip suggested visiting Steph's family and went off to call someone to see if the Kiriakis jet was cleared to travel there. Sadly, it wasn't. Suddenly, Sami stormed onto the terrace. "I want to destroy EJ DiMera once and for all," she barked, explaining that EJ took Johnny from her. Steph and Philip couldn't believe it. Nevertheless, Philip was reluctant to get involved. "I lost my daughter. Please don't let me lose another child," begged Sami.

Wednesday

Kate watched through the door as Daniel zipped up Chloe's dress. Downstairs, Lucas picked up a poisoned deviled egg and prepared to eat it. Kate walked into the kitchen and pushed it out of his hand. Lucas flipped and asked if the eggs "were poisoned." Kate made up a lame excuse about the egg being under the lights too long. Kate announced the shoot was over and apologized for taking up Daniel's time. Later, Daniel met Kate at the Java Café. Kate admitted she was still hurt that Daniel and Chloe betrayed Lucas. Daniel swore that was over. Kate suggested Daniel was still in love with Chloe. Daniel said doing the show with Chloe was a mistake. Kate told Daniel he had to do it. She already promoted the show. Plus, there was the big donation to that cancer charity. Alone, Kate revealed she'd secretly taped their conversation.

Lucas and Chloe arrived at the pub and discussed the shoot and Kate's bizarre behavior. Chloe blamed herself for screwing things up. Lucas accused his mother of going postal. Chloe begged Lucas to get along with Kate. Later, Lucas, Chloe and Allie arrived at their new home. Lucas picked up Chloe to carry her over the threshold, as she imagined being in Daniel's arms.

Rafe approached Will to talk about Sami. Will wasn't receptive. Rafe suggested talking about Johnny, who was being raised by a bunch of murderers. "I think Johnny's better off with them than with my mom," countered Will. Rafe was stunned, but understand how mad Will is. He pleaded with Will to let go of his anger. Sami couldn't take it right now. "Just tell her you love her," begged Rafe.

Stefano and Nicole discussed Grace's funeral. Stefano lamented that EJ was grieving over her, when she wasn't even his child. However, he was glad EJ had custody of Johnny and wouldn't have to deal with Sami anymore. Nicole didn't agree, noting it was just pouring salt in Sami's wound. Stefano asked where EJ and Johnny were. Nicole explained EJ took Johnny to day camp and was going to explain the custody arrangements to him. Nicole mentioned how awkward it was going to be, since Allie went there too and Sami would be picking her up. Stefano accused Nicole of developing a conscience and said she shouldn't feel sorry for Sami. Nicole noted that taking Johnny away from Sami could blow up in EJ's face. "She could do something dangerous," warned Nicole. Stefano pointed out there was a lesson to be learned. Sami defied EJ's family and was now suffering the consequences. After Stefano left, Nicole told Sydney she was going to do something she never did: the right thing.

Sami begged Philip and Stephanie to call the police and expose EJ for the lying criminal he is. Philip said they couldn't and left to take a call. Sami pressed Steph to help her. Steph sympathized with Sami's plight, but insisted there was nothing she could do to help. Sami suggested Steph lie and say she saw EJ paying off Owen. "I can't," reiterated Steph. Philip returned and scolded Sami for pushing Steph after everything she'd been through. Sami scolded Philip for letting Steph get caught between him and EJ. Later, Philip told Steph that Sami was gone and things would be fine. He suggested going for a swim and headed off to change. Steph popped a few pills. Philip ended up having to work, so Steph went for a swim alone. Steph emerged from the pool, when she suddenly collapsed to the ground.

Sami returned home to find Rafe and shared her idea about kidnapping Johnny. Rafe tried to talk her out of it. She'd be playing right into EJ's hands and could lose custody of Johnny permanently. Sami cried about Steph not wanting to testify against EJ. "Everybody is scared of the DiMeras." she wailed. Rafe wasn't and vowed to help Sami get Johnny back. Sami got a call from Nicole, noting she had something to say to her.

Thursday

Brady ran into Nicole. She explained EJ was taking Johnny away from Sami, but that she was going to help her see her son.

He just wanted her to be happy.

Rafe found Mia at St. Luke's. Mia said she was thinking about Grace. Rafe went off, and Father Matt arrived. He remembered Mia from Grace's funeral and for stopping Nicole's wedding.

Rafe returned and was suspicious of the pair being together. Mia said she and Brady met at a 12-step meeting, noting she was a recovering addict. Rafe thought they were trying to hide something.

Steph took them, but revealed that Philip didn't know about the pills. She didn't want to dump that on him. Melanie said she had Steph's back. Nathan bumped into Melanie and apologized for being hard on her, earlier. Then, he questioned her about the pills she was taking. Melanie said they belonged to a friend, who didn't want her fiancé to know about them. She wondered if she should tell him the truth.
