Days Of Our Lives Recaps

DAYS Week of May 3, 2010

Monday

Dr. Baker pocketed his cash, then went to leave the poker game. He opened the door to find Hope there. She asked where he was going, but he told her it was none of her business. "We're partners," she reminded him. He demanded to know who she was. She revealed that she was a detective who was assigned to the muggings. He was freaked and wanted out. Hope refused. "You and I are just beginning," she informed him. He still wanted out, so she asked him for a check before he left to cover the money he filched from EJ's bank account. She pulled her gun, so he handed it over. She ripped it up. He thought she was nuts and went to leave, but she pleaded with him not to. She cried that she used to have a partner she loved very much but he's gone and she feels alone. He agreed to stay with her; she was thrilled. They headed out.

At the Brady Pub, Stephanie asked a boozing Philip why he referred to himself as a bastard. He flashed back to having sex with Chloe, but lied that he had a fight with his dad. She didn't believe him and asked what he did to Melanie. Philip got annoyed, pointing out that Steph didn't even like Mel. Steph insisted she did, but explained that if he did something, she didn't want Melanie getting all upset and turning to Nathan. Adrienne came in as Philip was exiting and asked her niece what was wrong. Steph told her about her fear that Nathan would comfort Melanie over whatever Philip did. Then, Steph vowed to get Nathan to commit to her. Adrienne reminded Steph how terrific she is and advised her to be herself. "Spoken like a true aunt," Steph smiled. Adrienne took off. Steph held her birth control pills and got an idea. She tossed them in the garbage.

Chloe met with the motel clerk at the Cheatin' Heart, who explained that someone knew she was jealous over Daniel and Carly and was yanking her chain about it. She blamed him, but he pointed out that he never confirmed Carly and Daniel were together at his motel. He hurried out and called Vivian to report that Chloe bought every word he said. Viv was thrilled. She had a drink in her room with Gus to celebrate.

Melanie and Carly ran into each other at the hospital. Melanie asked her mother what she thought of Chloe. Before Carly could elaborate, Bo called to report that Kimberly was doing well and was expected to make a full recovery. After, they sat down. Melanie explained that she felt Chloe looked at her in a judgmental way sometimes. Carly insisted her daughter was funny, charming and smart and Chloe was lucky to have Mel in her life. A softened Melanie told Carly she hoped they could get closer. Carly was happy.

Nathan dropped some files off at Daniel's apartment. Dan invited Nate to stick around to go over the files with Carly. Nathan asked if Chloe was coming. Daniel asked what difference it made. Nathan covered that because he was Lucas's cousin, he didn't think Chloe wanted to be around him. Daniel thought that was crazy and insisted everything was fine. He then realized it was about Melanie, but Nathan said that wasn't it, either. Nate finally said he had a date with Stephanie and thought it sounded unprofessional to blow off a work opportunity for a girl. Dan said it was no big deal. Nate headed out and met Steph on the pier. Carly arrived to work on the files.

Philip joined Chloe at the Cheatin' Heart. She told him that Carly set her up. Philip couldn't understand why. Chloe claimed that Dr. M was selfish and manipulative and wanted to mess up Chloe and Daniel's relationship. She sighed that she didn't deserve Daniel. Philip assured her she did. Chloe went on a rant about Carly.... Philip returned home to find an amorous Melanie. She asked if they could go to Daniel's and hang out with Chloe and Carly. He said okay, but was clearly uncomfortable. He left Chloe a message for her not to do anything rash where Carly was concerned. A confused Melanie overheard and asked what was up.... Chloe returned and found Carly on the couch. She went off on Dr. M. "I know what you did," Chloe spat.

Brady and Arianna made out on the couch at the Kiriakis mansion. He wanted to go skinny-dipping in the pool, but his cell phone rang. It was Nicole. He didn't pick it up. He and Ari got busy on the couch, then there was a knock on the door. It was Gabi, who was freaked out and needed to see Ari because her computer froze and she lost her history paper and was totally flipping out. She needed Ari's help to rewrite the paper. Ari said she would help. The sisters left. After, Nicole knocked on the door. Brady was not happy to see her and wanted her to leave. She said that he had to tell her he didn't have any feelings for her before she did. He invited her in. At the Pub, Ari tried to retrieve Gabi's paper and texted Brady that she would be back soon. Nicole read it while he was out of the room. She also unbuttoned her blouse, which made Brady frown upon his return. He kicked her out and told her never to return. She headed to the Pub, where she tousled her hair, then pretended to be on a fun, flirty call with Brady, which both Hernandez sibs overheard. Ari doubted Nicole was telling the truth and headed back to the manse. Brady wasn't home.

A distracted Brady went to the park and realized he forgot his cell phone. Hope and Doc Baker came upon him and Hope attacked him from behind.

Tuesday

Chloe told Carly she knew what she'd done and called her a "lying manipulative bitch," who killed her husband, gave her baby away ... She wasn't going to let her ruin anyone else's life. Daniel interrupted and asked what was wrong. "Chloe thinks something terrible of me, but she won't tell me what it is," said Carly, quickly making her exit. Daniel probed Chloe. She revealed all about being led to believe Daniel and Carly went to a sleazy motel together. "So you think Carly and I slept together?" asked Daniel. Chloe said that's what she was told and was sure it was a rumor Carly started. Daniel swore it wasn't true. He loved Chloe. Chloe explained how a nurse and motel clerk led her to believe Daniel and Carly had checked in for a night of passion. Later, at the pier, Daniel and Chloe ran into the motel clerk. The guy swore he'd never seen Chloe before. Daniel and Chloe returned home. Chloe worried Daniel didn't believe her. He said he did and that they'd figure this whole thing out.
Melanie overheard Philip leaving a message for Chloe not to do anything rash and questioned him about it. He said Chloe was having a hard time dealing with the Carly, Daniel and Melanie situation. Melanie wondered what that had to do with Philip. He explained Chloe didn't have many friends. Melanie relented, noting Chloe was lucky to have him as a friend. Philip flashed back to his sexcapades with Chloe and muttered he'd made things worse. "What is it you're not telling me?" asked Melanie.
Philip explained about Chloe's bout with leukemia that left it nearly impossible for her to have kids and her recently thinking she was pregnant, only she wasn't. Melanie didn't get why that would make Chloe smash a picture of Daniel, unless she thought he wanted to be family with her and Carly. Philip noted Chloe was emotional. Melanie decided her husband was wonderful for being there for Chloe. Philip suggested he and Melanie give Daniel and Chloe some space. Later, Philip and Melanie were in bed, where Philip thought back to romping with Chloe.
Nathan asked if Stephanie would be disappointed if they didn't go out tonight, explaining he wanted to spend a quiet night at home with her. Later, at his place, Nathan told Steph he wanted to take her to Paris. Steph whispered sweet nothings to Nathan in French, and they made love. Afterwards, Steph and Nathan chatted some more about Paris. Steph recalled tossing her birth control pills in the trash on the pier, just as a homeless woman discovered them in the trash.
Baker wanted to run, after Hope knocked out Brady. Hope ripped open Brady's shirt, as Baker watched in awe. "I left my mark," she noted. The pair left, just as Brady started to stir. Hope asked Baker about the guy they attacked. Baker remembered back to Brady ordering him to stay away from Nicole. He said they'd had a disagreement, but were even now. Hope wanted details. Baker wouldn't give any and left. Hope returned home, hid Brady's wallet, and poured herself a drink. Baker arrived at a poker game with his fresh stash and played a few hands. When the cash ran out, he presented Brady's gold money clip.
Arianna searched for Brady to no avail. At the pub, Gabi and Nicole exchanged barbs. Gabi brought up Nicole's past, insisting she wasn't going to let some washed up porn star ruin her sister's life. Nicole vowed she was going to make Brady see the light about Arianna. Gabi went off about Nicole lying to her the first time they met and the whole baby switch. Brady stumbled into the pub. Nicole raced over to him, and he collapsed in her arms. Gabi called an ambulance. Soon, Brady was being wheeled into the hospital. Nicole followed. Carly stopped her. Roman arrived, while Gabi left Arianna a message to get to the hospital at once. Carly examined Brady. She and Roman discussed this being just like the other muggings. Then, Carly pointed out something different: a tattoo was put on Brady. Roman accused Nicole of attacking Brady. Nicole swore she hadn't. She loved Brady and had an airtight alibi: Gabi. Arianna arrived. Nicole wondered if she could account for where she'd been. Roman phoned Hope and left a message about the mugging. Hope dreamt about marking Brady and woke up abruptly. After Gabi told Arianna what happened, Nicole called her on being furious with Brady earlier. "Are you accusing me of this?" asked Arianna. Carly told Roman the muggers new branding thing scared her. "Whoever did this is obviously trying very hard to send a message," deduced Roman.

Wednesday

Vivian and Victor visited Brady in the hospital. Victor vowed to find out who harmed his grandson. Arianna came in to check on her guy. She blamed herself for not being with him the night before. She mentioned she was at the Kiriakis mansion, but Vivian noted that she didn't see her there. Nicole approached the room and overheard. She realized Ari didn't have an alibi. A furious Victor headed to the station to see Roman; Vivian sat in for him at his board meeting. Ari left the room and ran into Nicole. They bickered. After, Nicole headed in to check on Brady. He thanked her for getting him to the hospital and apologized for being hard on her of late. Ari returned with flowers so Nicole took off. Vivian spied her making a face as she left the room. After, Viv warned Ari to keep an eye on Brady.... Nicole got a call to follow a lead on an illegal gambling ring.

Anna was in her cabana, where she ran into her old pal, Calliope. Calliope noted that it seemed as though Anna was hiding out. Anna tried to be casual, but Calliope knew something was up. Anna deflected, then asked what Calliope was doing there. She revealed she and Eugene were having IRS problems and looking for a country that had no extradition treaty with the U.S. A nervous Anna headed off to get a hot stone massage. Calliope met with Rafe after and reported she'd made contact. "And for the record, big shot, I don't like it. Not one bit!" she exclaimed.

Sami and EJ went to the Brady Pub, where they engaged in some playful banter. EJ went to check on the kids upstairs. Roman came in and told Sami what happened to Brady. He said he needed to talk to EJ and heard Sami was with him when she left the hospital. She revealed she was moving in with him. Her father was surprised. He asked if there was a future for EJ and Sami. "Maybe," Sami replied. What about Rafe? Roman asked. She recounted what happened with her ex. EJ returned and assured Roman that Sami would be fine chez DiMera. Roman said he'd be keeping his eye on them.... Sami and EJ headed to the DiMera manse with the kids. Kate showed Sami upstairs. EJ and Stefano talked alone. The Phoenix assured Elvis that nobody would find Anna.... Sami and Kate faced off over Will. EJ and Stefano heard the commotion and asked what was up. The women smoothed it over. Stefano and Kate took a walk. He asked his wife not to fight with Sami.... Back at the mansion, EJ assured Sami she could make things right with her son. "That's the reason I'm here," she pointed out. He wondered if he was part of the reason, too. "Sure," she replied, but noted that she was already butting heads with Kate and didn't think things would work. He wanted to talk to Kate on her behalf.

Hope woke up in her room and found her makeup on the floor. She called Ciara in and told her to ask in the future if she wanted to play with Hope's makeup. Ciara insisted she didn't do it. Roman called Hope and told her about the mugger striking again. She headed to the station, where she encountered an angry Victor. Roman told Vic that Hope was on the case. Victor worried things we too complicated in Hope's life for her to focus on the case. Hope insisted she was fine. Vic took off. Roman showed Hope a copy of the symbol found on Brady's chest. She recognized it as a Celtic symbol she saw in Ireland one time with Bo and Shawn. The three rings represent three Celtic deities, one of which is a goddess named Brigid, who represents female empowerment, she revealed. Roman realized the mugger could be a woman. Hope headed out to question Brady.

Thursday

Kate and Stefano returned home. He was surprised that she was being so agreeable about dealing with Sami. Kate admitted she was more preoccupied with Madeline. Stef urged her to keep Madeline in the past and he would take care of her. Nevertheless, Kate looked through an old photo album and took out a shot of her and Madeline together. Will came in and asked what she was looking at. "Photos," Kate smiled. The conversation turned to Sami moving in, then Kate got a work call. She left the room and Will grabbed some papers and left.

At the Brady Pub, Gabi approached Madeline and Chad's table to take their order. The duo asked for sodas. Chad pressed Madeline to explain why he couldn't hang out with Will. "As long as Will Horton is living with Stefano and Kate DiMera, I want you to stay away from him," she ordered. She then headed off to court. Gabi came back to the table and Chad asked her to keep the fact that he hangs out with Will a secret from his mom. Gabi said she would. He left. Ari came in and asked her sis if she had heard from Rafe. No, replied Gabi. Ari was crabby and explained she needed Midol, which was conveniently located behind the bar.

Sami was still freaking out that she agreed to live chez DiMera. EJ didn't understand her sudden change of heart. Sami said that she had made a hasty decision when she was worried about him after she found him on the pier but was headed back to the townhouse. She walked out, but he stopped her and insisted she tell him the truth about what was going on. She suggested he spend time with his kids and left.

EJ told his father that Sami was moving out.... Kate was worried when she couldn't find the photo of her and Madeline. Stefano came in during her search. He assured his wife that the maid probably threw it out by mistake. EJ entered and told Stefano he could say good-bye to the kids. Stefano said it wouldn't be necessary. Before EJ could find out why, Sami returned to the house. EJ told her the kids' bags were packed but she said they weren't going anywhere because the townhouse was flooded. One alone, EJ said she and the kids could stay with him, adding that they could find many ways to make Kate's life miserable. "I'm in," Sami laughed.

Chad and Will did school work at Java Caf. The picture of Madeline and Kate fell out of Will's stack of papers. The teens wondered what was going on. Chad summoned his mom to Java and told him about the photo. She covered that she was the lawyer on a deal for Kate's company. He wasn't so sure she was being honest. She rushed out. Outside, she called Kate and said they had to meet. They talked in the park, where Kate asked "Maddie" what she wanted. "Don't call me Maddie," she replied, adding, "What the hell are you doing giving a picture of the two of us to your grandson?" Kate said that she meant to throw it out and it wound up in Will's papers. Madeline told Kate about her cover story to Chad and warned Kate that she would ruin Stefano and Kate if the truth came out.

Will returned to the manse and found Sami and EJ in the living room. Will was looking for Kate, but Sami asked to talk to him. EJ excused himself. Sami told her son that she missed him. Will admitted he was angry because she blew it with Rafe for EJ. An argument ensued. A teary Sami pointed out that Will forgave Kate for everything she had done to hurt people and that because EJ is Johnny and Sydney's dad, they love him no matter what, too. Will couldn't understand her logic and walked off in a huff. EJ returned to find a bummed out Sami. She told him that she wanted to be clear that her stay in the manse was temporary and that she was only there for her kids. He wondered if she felt like she was betraying Rafe by being there. She finally revealed that he kissed her.

An angry Calliope told Rafe she didn't like him using her to nab Anna. He didn't care and pointed out that either she and Eugene were going down for tax evasion with the IRS or Calliope would help bust her pal. He put a wire on her.... Ari got a message from Rafe and called him back.Rafe said he couldn't talk but was still on Anna's trail. Ari urged him to stay the course.... Anna tried to get a charter flight off the island. Calliope went to Anna's cabana, but she wasn't there. Calliope reported that to Rafe through the wire, just as Anna came in and asked who she was talking to. "Myself!" Calliope lied, then tried to get her old pal to open up about her problems. Rafe warned her via her earpiece that she was pushing too hard. Anna felt the same way and asked why Calliope was being so nosy. Calliope insisted she was just being a good friend. "Okay, I guess I'll tell you everything," Anna told her.

Friday

At the hospital, Melanie came upon Nathan and Stephanie making out. She couldn't help but stare, which Nurse Maxine couldn't help but notice. Maxine asked Mel to do intake on a homeless woman in a room. The woman, Rae, just happened to have the birth control pills Steph threw away on the pier. Melanie found them in Ray's things. Steph and Nate came in. Steph needed to set up Rae's social service consultation, but first, Nate too Rae to X-ray. After they left, Mel told Steph they needed to talk. She showed her the birth control pills. Steph lied that they must have fallen out of her purse. Melanie didn't believe her and accused Steph of trying to trap Nathan. Steph insisted it wasn't true and told Mel it was none of her business. Nathan came in while they were arguing and asked what was going on. Before they could tell him, he got paged.

Victor checked in with Brady. He was determined to find the mugger. Maggie came in while they were talking and overheard Victor say how important family is. Melanie entered to see how Brady was doing. Victor and Maggie left together. In the hallway, she asked him for a ride home. He said okay. Back inside, Melanie asked for advice regarding the Nathan and Stephanie situation. He told her to mind her own business and believed Stephanie wouldn't trap Nathan with a baby. Stephanie visited after and realized that Melanie blabbed about the pills. She was peeved.

Maggie and Victor arrived back at her house and had a chat. She said she wanted to help him mend fences with Philip. He was touched. When they went to stand, Maggie passed out.

At the mansion, Sami told EJ about the kiss on the pier. He didn't remember and asked how he reacted. She said it wasn't a big deal, but he believed it was. He told her he felt embarrassed but finally understood why she had been so awkward around him lately. She asked if he knew why he did it. "Absolutely," he replied. He admitted that he had always been attracted to her and probably thought he was in a different time and place. He apologized. She was happy it was all cleared up and said she was grateful that they had become friends. EJ told her he was going swimming. He invited her to join him in the heated pool. She said no, thanks. Johnny came running in. EJ suggested swimming to him and Johnny wanted to go. EJ noted that Sami could supervise in the pool. She smirked at him and reluctantly agreed. After, they came back to the manse, wet and cold. EJ game Sami a robe to cover herself. He put his robe on, but his shoulder was bothering him. He said he needed a massage. She offered to work through the knot for him. Cue the sexual tension. They moved in for a kiss.

Calliope tried to get Anna to come clean about everything while Rafe watched from his computer. Anna told her old pal about Sydney and the baby's complicated history. "I'm going to need a much stiffer drink if I have to learn all of this," Calliope sighed. Anna then began to cry over Tony's death and explained why she decided to kidnap Sydney, to get money and make Stefano suffer. She also said she didn't regret it a bit. Anna then marveled that she and Calliope wound up in the same far-flung spa. Suddenly, Calliope had to go. She went back to Rafe's room, stunned by Anna's admission. He said he already knew Anna had kidnapped Sydney, he needed her accomplice's name. Calliope refused to go any further because Anna was one of her best friends. Rafe tried to make her see that she was helping the U.S. government by getting Anna to tell the truth. Calliope returned to Anna's cabana to try and get her to spill more. Calliope noted that the idea of Anna kidnapping a baby was crazy. She asked who Anna was working with. Anna asked why her pal was grilling her.
