DAYS Week of November 24, 2008
Monday
Maggie cried over telling Nick's parents he was a murderer. She prayed Mickey could get him off with a light sentence. Chelsea asked if Nick could plead temporary insanity or self defense. Bo and Hope weren't encouraging. Chelsea wanted to visit Nick. Bo said it wasn't a good idea. Hope thought Nick needed psychiatric help.
Marlena begged John not to shoot her attacker; then, grabbed his gun and it went off. Marlena hit the ground. John rushed to her side. The killer escaped. "What the hell were you thinking?" yelled John. Marlena scolded John. Her assailant was the man who Sami saw kill the mayor. They could have apprehended him, if not for John's behavior. Bo and Hope arrived to investigate. Bo told John the police could track down the killer without his help. When Bo and Hope left, Marlena told John his behavior had to stop. What if the twins had been there when his gun went off? John needed help. If he didn't get it, he'd no longer be part of her life. Meanwhile, Hope encouraged Bo to take a break from work and insisted on taking him out to lunch.
Kate was thrilled about being released from the hospital. Daniel didn't want to let her go. He feared she go back to her 80-hour work week. Kate said she was going to rest. She'd even booked a trip. Daniel didn't think it was good idea. Kate flipped, insisting she was going to live her life to the fullest. Daniel grabbed Kate and kissed her. Kate said she didn't want to waste the time she had left. She wanted to embrace life with Daniel.
Nicole doubled over in pain and phoned EJ for help. No answer. She dialed Brady, who was at the pub with Chloe and Lucas. Lucas told Brady he'd bought a house for him, Chloe and Allie to live in together as a family. Chloe noted Kate was joining them soon to celebrate being released from the hospital. Brady's cell rang and it was Nicole, begging for help. Brady raced off. Chloe called Lucas on how jealous he seemed of Brady, promising he had nothing to worry about. Kate and Daniel arrived. Everyone feasted on cake. Lucas and Kate got a minute alone and bonded. Daniel told Chelsea he was sorry about Nick. Chelsea noted how she broke Nick's heart for Daniel, only to have him break hers. Chloe consoled Daniel about Chelsea. Kate thanked Chelsea for coming to her party and they made peace.
Brady arrived at the lodge and rushed a bleeding Nicole to the hospital. A nurse checked the baby's heartbeat. Later, Nicole's monitors started beeping. She feared she was losing her baby. The doctor said Nicole was in pre-term labor and he'd try to stop it. Her baby couldn't survive if it was born. Nicole sobbed. Brady tried to calm her down. Later, Nicole rhapsodized about all the things she was going to do with her child, when she suddenly passed out.
En route to a business trip, EJ questioned Stefano about their objective and its legality. Stefano wondered why EJ took this position, if he doubted his ethics. "Because of Nicole," responded EJ, noting that when he was with Sami he was always trying to reassure her about his morals. Nicole accepted him as he was. She just wanted EJ to be loyal to her and their child. Stefano noted the purpose of their trip was for EJ to appreciate their "hidden assets" in South America and called EJ on his feelings for Sami. Stefano wondered if Nicole could make EJ happy. EJ said Nicole was pregnant with his child and asked for his father's support. Stefano agreed, thanking EJ for the chance to be a grandfather again.
Tuesday
Nicole passed out and her monitors went off, as a medical team raced into her room. The doctor announced they had to stop Nicole's contractions or she'd lose her baby. Nicole sobbed. Nicole's condition stabilized, and the doctor advised her to stay calm. Nicole tried, but her monitors went off as her contractions started, again. "My baby! It's too soon!" cried Nicole. Later, Nicole slipped off into fantasy land, as a nurse presented her with a baby girl. Outside, the doctor delivered the bad news to Brady: Nicole's baby didn't make it.
Chelsea visited Nick and expressed how sorry she was for what he was going through. "How can you be sorry for the things I did?" asked Nick, noting he'd killed two people and been dumped by two girls. He reflected on sending Melanie notes and scaring her, so she'd need him to take care of her. Nick said it was good he was going away. He'd never hurt anyone again. Maggie arrived, and Nick asked for her help. He said Melanie had no one and begged Maggie to let her stay with her. After Maggie left, Nick insisted he deserved going to prison and told Chelsea to leave. Chelsea asked for a hug. Nick declined. "If I stand up, my pants will fall down. They took my belt," he confided.
At the hotel where she'd nearly fallen to her death, Melanie chatted on the phone with someone who told her she had an hour to check out. Melanie realized she had to find a place to live and a job, pronto. She surfed the net, noticed Titan had an opening, and decided it was the perfect fit. Later, Melanie arrived at the pub for an interview. She marched over to the table of a man reading a newspaper and announced she was the answer to his prayers. Philip put down the paper and Melanie stared at him. Philip perused her resume and made a crack about it. Melanie said she needed a job. Philip couldn't help her.
John called Marlena's "get shrinked or get out of her life" ultimatum blackmail. Marlena didn't care. She urged John to see Dr. Kenneth Taylor, one of her thesis advisors. Maggie arrived desperate for Marlena's help with Nick. John retreated to the kitchen. Maggie said she was scared Nick would do something to himself. Marlena promised to give Mickey the names of some professionals, who could help Nick. Maggie asked Marlena's advice about Melanie staying with her, too. After Maggie left, Marlena told John she couldn't bear to watch something horrible happen in his life. John agreed to see Dr. Taylor, once. Marlena warned John not to use this as a stall tactic. If he did, they were back to square one.
After Melanie went off on Philip, Maggie arrived and informed her sh e could stay with her temporarily, but warned Melanie to stay away from Nick. Maggie left, and Chelsea arrived. She told Melanie she was the only thing Nick cared about. Melanie called Nick crazy. Chelsea reminded Melanie that Nick took a bullet for her. Melanie went off about everyone in Salem making her sick and brought up Chelsea killing her brother. The two gals got into a cat fight.
With his business trip canceled, EJ was eager to get home to his family. When he returned to the mansion, Mary told him Nicole never came home. EJ phoned Nicole's cell and left her a message. Then, he phoned the cabin and learned Nicole left with a man. Meanwhile, at the hospital, Brady entered Nicole's room and broke the news her baby didn't make it. Nicole wailed. A nurse informed her there shouldn't be a problem with another pregnancy. Nicole wailed some more, noting that miracles didn't happen twice. "What am I going to do?" sighed Nicole, as her phone rang and she saw it was EJ.
Wednesday
Philip was chatting on his cell phone outside the pub, when he saw Melanie and Chelsea fighting inside. The gals traded insults. Chelsea compared Melanie to Trent. Melanie taunted Chelsea about Daniel and Kate and Zack's death. Philip charged in and broke things up. After Chelsea left, Melanie ranted about her. "Watch her mouth," ordered Philip. Melanie reminded Philip he wasn't her boss. Philip walked outside, found Stephanie, and filled her in on the fight. Inside, Melanie asked the waitress if they served drinks on credit. Nope. A drunk approached Melanie. She encouraged the easy mark. Steph handed Philip a report and asked who he was interviewing for the administrative assistant job. He noted talking to Melanie about it. Steph couldn't believe she was qualified. Meanwhile, Melanie got tired of the sleazy drunk and left. She overheard Philip call her a troublemaker. "Take your stupid job!" spat Melanie, who was toting the drunk's wallet. Too bad he caught up with the little thief and grabbed her.
Max looked through a signed copy of Trent's book and slammed it shut. Chelsea arrived at the Cheatin' Heart to tell Max about her and Melanie's spat. Chelsea blamed herself for Nick's problems. If she hadn't broken up with him, Trent would still be alive and Nick would be free. Max insisted it wasn't her fault. Nick's mom was unstable, too. Chelsea apologized for dragging Max into all her craziness and headed for the door. Max promised to be there for her.
Rafe let Hilda into the safe house. He told her Sami was "out like a light" and he was off to do some fact checking. Rafe left holding a picture of EJ. Hilda sneezed and reached for her cold medicine. All she had was the nighttime formula. It knocked her out. Sami woke up and decided to head out. Sami entered a church, knelt down and started crying. Sister Teresa approached her and asked if she was okay. Sami admitted she wasn't. Sami asked the nun about their orphanage and if they still accepted children. The nun said yes, if they were in need. Sister Teresa asked if Sami's baby's father was still in the picture. Sami wouldn't say. The nun agreed to help Sami and handed her a medal to protect her. Sami promised to treasure it.
Nicole got a call from EJ, but wouldn't answer it. She sobbed about losing her baby and asked Brady not to say anything to EJ about it. She had to tell him in person. Back in Salem, Mary told EJ there was a message from Roman. Marlena was attacked by the person who killed the mayor, and Johnny was with Hope. Hope was in the park, when Julie appeared, noting she'd just been to see poor Nick. EJ arrived, and Julie made herself scarce. Rafe spied on them via a transmissio n device. Hope asked if Stefano had anything to do with the mayor's murder. EJ said no. Hope mentioned the assassin's attack on Marlena. EJ insisted Stefano had nothing to do with it, grabbed Johnny, and headed home. Julie returned and she and Hope went off about EJ and poor Sami and Johnny being caught in his dastardly family. "As long as Stefano is in the picture that little boy will be turned into a detestable DiMera," said Julie.
Brady and a distraught Nicole returned to the mansion. She thanked Brady for being there for her and wondered how she was going to tell EJ about losing their child. Nicole sobbed and told Brady she wanted to be alone. Mary found Nicole in her room, and Nicole screamed at her to get out. Later, EJ returned home with Johnny. He entered Nicole's room and asked if she was alright. "No, EJ, I'm not," cried Nicole.
Thursday
Gone for the holiday — Full recaps resume Monday. Happy Thanksgiving!
Friday
The drunk — whose wallet Melanie stole — caught up with her. A scared Melanie told him to take it. He did, but told Melanie he was going to teach her a lesson. Philip arrived and shooed the creep off. Philip gave Melanie hell for messing with a sleazy drunk. Melanie noted Philip had saved her life twice and snottily asked if he wanted a medal. Philip promised not to come to her rescue again. Melanie went off about what was really bothering her: everybody blaming her for everything. She didn't kill her father. Nick did. Philip told Melanie she needed to make better choices, like no more "petty thievery." Melanie blamed Philip for not giving her a job. Philip was tired of hearing her self-pity. Melanie called Philip spoiled and pampered. Later, Melanie returned to Maggie's and started complaining about her day. Maggie told the brat she was welcome to stay there, but she didn't want to hear her problems. Maggie gave Melanie a message from Philip: he'd called and offered her the job at Titan.
Lucas, Chloe and Daniel fetched Kate for a surprise party at Victor's. Meanwhile, at the mansion, Brady stopped by to see Victor. Victor explained he was having a get-together for Kate. Brady was anxious to see her. Victor didn't think that was a good idea, since Lucas and Chloe would be at the festivities. Brady noted he'd spoken to Chloe and Nicole and made peace with both of them. He wished Victor could do the same. Victor wasn't game. He filled Brady in on the fact that he and Nicole had never been married; hence, she'd been cheating him out of money for years. Chelsea arrived, followed by the rest of the gang. When Brady went to answer the door, Chelsea told Victor about horrible Melanie and how she'd driven Nick to commit murder. Brady returned with Kate and company. Everyone exchanged pleasantries, except Victor and Chloe. Daniel interrupted, noting if Victor knew how much Chloe had helped Kate, he might cut her some slack. Daniel got a phone call and returned to the hospital, where he got some distressing news. Back at the party the Victor/Chloe spatting continued. Philip finally arrived. He and Victor told Kate how wonderful she looked and that the worst was behind her. Alone, Philip told Kate that in light of everything Daniel had done for her, he was fine with their relationship. Chloe complained to Lucas for the way Victor was treating her. Lucas said that his loving Chloe was the only thing that counted. Daniel returned and Philip gave him a thank you gift for everything he'd done for Kate. Daniel refused to accept it. Treating Kate was a privilege. Philip proposed a toast to his incredible mom. Daniel couldn't hide his worry.
EJ brought Johnny to see Nicole and asked if she was okay. Nicole wasn't and admitted it was the baby. While EJ left to put Johnny to bed, Nicole got a call from Brady, who was checking on her. She cut him off as EJ returned. EJ asked who she was talking to and wondered if it was the same man she met at the lodge. Nicole noted it was more important why she wasn't alone than who she was with. "Something happened at the lodge," confessed Nicole. "To our baby?" asked EJ. "Yes," said Nicole, noting after EJ called and said he had to work, she went to her car and "felt this awful twinge." A guy took her to the hospital, where she was treated for hemorrhaging. Nicole assured EJ their baby was fine and asked for some time alone to rest. EJ left. Nicole cried, vowing to find a way to give EJ a baby some day. Meanwhile, EJ phoned the clinic to ask what happened to Nicole.
