Days: Monday, August 9, 2010

Roman tells Sami that they've made an arrest in connection with the muggings. He tells her about Dr Baker first.

Carly comes home to find Julie at the house. Carly is surprised and Julie is rude. Carly asks her what's going on and Julie says that all she knows is that something is wrong.

Hope tells Bo that she doesn't want defended. That she needs help and needs to go away for a long time. She tells him that if he wants to do what's right for Ciara then he'll let her go away.

Sami is more surprised that Dr Baker is alive than she is that Hope was involved. Roman tells her about the sleeping pills.

Bo tells Hope that it wasn't her, that it was the pills. She corrects him and says that somewhere deep inside there is a lot of anger. He tells her not to give up on herself. That he's always believed in her and he always will. Carly is outside the door and hears that.

Bo asks Carly to give them a minute and Hope says that it's okay, that they're done. Then Justin shows up and Hope tells him that he deserves to hear what she's done.

Hope has told Justin everything and he starts to reassure her, but she tells him not to coddle her.

Bo and Carly are on the docks and he's just explained everything to her. She says, "Now I understand why you called me last night to ask about the drug. Why didn't you just tell me what was going on. I would have come straight home? Stupid question. I'm the last person Hope needed to see." I hate it when Carly is sad. :( Bo says that he's sorry. Carly says, "Don't be. You know I understand." Crystal is doing her amazing thing here. First of all you can tell that she really does understand, but that she's incredibly hurt too. She's had to compete with the ghost of Hope before, but never the living woman. Now that Hope is in a place where she needs help, Carly knows that Bo, being who he is, can't not help her. Carly has got to be feeling extremely vulnerable and insecure about their relationship right now. She knows that Bo loves her, that's not a question, but she knows that he has to help when he sees a need, and that Hope is someone Bo loves and wants to protect. When Carly sits down on the bench and she's talking to Bo about whether the medication Hope was taking will have lasting side effects now that she's stopped, she's clasping and unclasping her hands. Seriously! Crystal is really good at what she does. Carly tells Bo that stopping the pills will stop the behavior, but that the emotions behind it, the anger and the pain aren't dealt with as easily. She doesn't know what Hope's going to do with all of that.

Bo gets up and takes a couple of steps away. Carly says, "This must be hard on you too." and gets up to go to him. She's still playing with her hands. Aawwww Carly!!!! I wish I could tell you it will all be okay! He tells her not to worry about him, that Hope and Ciara are the ones suffering. She tells him that it will take time, but that he and Hope and Ciara will all get through it because they're family. Carly, don't give up! She says that he and Hope and Ciara are all strong because they have each other and there is so much love there. She sounds so much like she's stepping back and basically handing him over to Hope. Caaaarrrlllyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bo's eyes flash a little, and I think that he thinks Carly's walking away too.

Justin tells Hope that she needs a lawyer. She says no, that she's pleading guilty and it will be easier on Ciara. She doesn't want her to have to testify.

Arianna and Mel are trying to get Brady to stop drinking. Arianna figures out that it was something that Nicole did that has driven Brady to drink again.

Bo tells Carly that he's glad she's here and she says, "Are you sure about that?" she feels in some part responsible for what's happened. She tells him that she's not going to feel guilty about her part in this because she's not going to force him to take care of her right now. That he needs to be there for Ciara and Hope. She tells him that she loves him and he hugs her and tells her that he loves her too.

Hope is all teary and Justin is there for her. Let's not forget that Hope is still the one to leave Bo long before she started taking the loopy pills.

Brady tells Arianna that her name is cleared. That they've caught the mugger.

Mel is excited that Arianna is free. Brady says that he feels bad for Hope and Bo, but that he's happy for her. Arianna leaves to go to the station. Mel stays to talk to Brady. Mel gets a text message from her mom to meet her at home. Brady tells her to go, that he'll be okay. Mel reluctantly goes telling Brady that she'll always be there for him.

Carly gets to Maggie's and Mel tells her that she heard about Hope and asks Carly how she's feeling. Carly says that she's fine, that it's a tragedy for Hope that Bo is in shock and that Ciara is having a hard time and she wishes that she could reach out to her, but that it would be in appropriate for obvious reasons. Her voice is shaky and she's barely holding on. She turns and sees Mel looking at her and asks what she's looking at. Mel says, "You are so kind. Always thinking about everybody else's problems."
Carly: "Melanie, I just said that that family's gone through a tragedy, and for me to be thinking about my reaction and focusing on myself in any way...it's just..."
Mel: "Okay, then I will."
Carly: "You will what?"
Mel: "I'll focus on you." Carly is speechless. Aawwwww! Yay Melanie!!!!!! "Look, I know you said that this is a tragedy for Bo and Hope and their daughter and it is. This is, but this is a really sad and, and confusing time for you too, ya know. I think I getta worry about my mom, as your daughter." She's got tears in her eyes. Carly looks up at her and has tears running down her face. Carly looks away and moves toward Mel but doesn't look at her. They hug and Molly and Crystal are both just killing this scene. I'm so glad that Melanie is there for her mom. I love that Carly has someone to count on right now. :)

Bo is back at the station and asks Hope if he can get her anything. She says, no and reminds him that it's time for her to be booked.

Mel brings tea over to Carly.
Mel: "So is that okay? If I worry about my mom?"
Carly: "Of course it is. 'S sweet. But I will be fine."
Mel: "It's not your fault you know. You just fell in love with somebody who was single. Bo and Hope were separated when, when you guys got together."
Carly: "Married. They're married, and they had...they have children together, and maybe they could have worked things out if I had...."
Mel: "Except...I...ahem." She takes a breathe to compose her thoughts.. "Look at me." Carly looks up at her. "I know I've given you a pretty hard time the last couple of months, but um. You never gave up on me and you never stopped caring and you're an amazing person with a very big heart. I see that, now..." Carly dips her head and more tears come. "...so will you do me a favor?" Her hands are open in the middle of the table and Carly puts her hand into Mel's palms. Mel holds her hand in both of hers. "Will you see yourself the way I see you? Will you give yourself a break?" A very teary, and smiling Carly nods tiny almost imperceptible nods in agreement.

Bo begins the booking process for Hope.

Arianna walks into the station just as Roman was about to call her. He apologizes for her being arrested etc. She says thank you, but that he's not the one who owes her an apology.

Recap of Bo and Theo scene.
Recap of Hope and Carly scene.
Vivian: "Look no further. She's standing right in front of you. Didn't you know that Carly is an iconic black widow spider?"
Carly: "Vivian, grown-ups are talking here." Ha! Love it! It's about time Carly didn't cower around Vivian.
Vivian: "What did Bo do to incur your wrath? Squeeze the toothpaste from the middle of the tube?"
Carly: "Hope knows I had nothing to do with what happened to Bo."
Vivian: "Then I guess you started to realize you can't replace Hope. Their love is too strong." And there goes a little more of Carly's confidence in this discussion. :( "You see Hope there are women in the world who, rather than see their man love another woman, simply kill them." Funny you should say that to Hope, Vivian. :D

Bo tells Abe that Theo told him that Ciara's treasure is wallets that she got from Hope. Abe says that he's already heard. Then they send Theo away do they can talk. They are sure there is a logical explanation.

Vivian: "I don't think you can comprehend her."
Carly: "Stay out of this Vivian." Carly is eying Hope like she sees something turning in Hope's eyes or maybe she's afraid that Vivian's words will make Hope snap since she's so unpredictable these days. Vivian pays her no mind and continues...
Vivian: "You see a woman like this doesn't stop. Now Bo is still alive which means he's still a risk, and the anger that made her drug Bo and pour gasoline all over him won't stop. It'll grow and fester." Carly is looking from Hope to Vivian waiting for something to explode, and at the same time filling with fear for Bo and remembering the scare of almost losing him. Hope is looking from Carly to Vivian trying to figure out why everything Vivian is saying feels so personal and familiar.
Carly: //angry// "Damnit, that's enough! Stop it! Stop it!" Of course Hope quirks her eyebrow at Carly's outburst and Carly (never sure about Hope these days) looks to gauge Hope's reacion.

Caroline is tired of hearing Sami waffle back and forth between E.J. and Rafe. It would be funny if she weren't being such an annoying pain around Maggie.

Carly: //sotto whisper// "Why don't you get the hell out of here."
Vivian: ::offended gasp:: "Uh, this is my house."
Carly: "Out of Salem. Out of the United States. Out of my life."
Hope: "You know, mine too!"
Vivian: "Wha...what!?!"
Hope: "Jus... Oh ... huh ...what, what? Just... The, the father of my child almost died and what, to you all it is is just another excuse to spread your lies about Carly." Carly still faces Vivian, but cuts her eyes over to Hope. "Just get away from me." Vivian doesn't move. Hope does her eyebrow thing. "Get away before I do something I shouldn't."
Vivian: //looks from Hope to Carly and takes a breath// "Yeah." She walks to the door, "You're gonna be sorry, because if you trust that woman you could end up with a knife in your belly just like my poor Lawrence." and she leaves. Carly is smirking.
Hope: "I know you didn't try to hurt Bo. I know that."
Carly: "Can I ask you something?"
Hope: "Sure, yeah."
Carly: "Before when Vivian was spewing all those lies as you called it, you um... You seemed quiet and intent like it really really got to you."
Hope: "Well it did. I mean she says all this stuff about you and I know it's completely irrelevant. You have an alibi. But what she said. The way she described that person, the one who actually did try to kill Bo. That felt right."
Seeeeeeee Carly was paying attention to Hope's reactions. I sooooooo love Crystal for the way she makes Carly such a real character in a very unreal world. Kristian is knocking these scenes home too. I like Hope all cerebral like this and less emotional.

They're in the living room now. Carly is sitting and Hope brings her some water and sits too.
Carly: "You okay?"
Hope: "I could ask you the same thing."
Carly: //rueful laugh// "Huh, that woman."
Hope: "Yeah. I don't know how Victor puts up with her."
Carly: "I hate thinking about that last night with Lawrence and every time I see her she flings that in my face."
Hope: "It was self defense. You were trying to protect your daughter. But it's nothing like what happened to Bo."
Carly: "But I think the reason she gets to me...is because there's always a shred of truth in what she says." She's eying Hope for a reaction again. I'm thinking that Carly is only saying that to bait her. I think Carly suspects that an already unstable Hope is very capable of having attacked Bo. Let's watch.... :) "And yeah, I was defending my daughter. I was trying to protect her, but there was hatred his cruelty. His enjoyment of his cruelty it just twisted me up inside."
Hope: "That's what she said about who went after Bo." Yup. Ding, ding, ding! Hope, go look in the mirror over the fireplace. :D
Carly: "B...se...thss... doesn't make any sense because Bo isn't cruel. He doesn't set out to hurt anyone." Hope is lost in thought for a second. Carly is watching her. //pause// "Or maybe you have a different view of that." And, there you go. She had me for a minute there, but now I'm back to the idea that that she's opening herself up to Hope in order to get Hope to open up too and at least admit that something's wrong with her.
Hope: //visibly coming back from her thoughts// "Uh...no. No. He didn't deliberately set out to hurt me."
Carly: //teary eyed and sympathetic// "But he did." Holy cow, Crystal!!!! Hope looks a little stunned and thoughtful. Carly is watching for a reaction. Seriously Crystal!!!

Bo is talking to someone from the station (I think he calls her Justine, but it sounds more like Justin) who is watching Ciara for him. They're outside near the lake maybe? Anyway, the girl reminds me A LOT of Emma's camp counselor Shayna (except with lighter hair) on Guiding Light.
Bo tells Ciara that he needs to talk to her about Mommy and her treasures. Ciara says, no and that he can't make her.

Ciara says that everyone thinks she's lying. Bo apologizes and tells her that he believes her now. He says that he found out the treasures are wallets. Ciara turns away and he apologizes again. He says that he thinks Mommy needs his help. She says, "If I help you will you promise you and Mommy won't get divorced?"

Carly is getting ready to leave when Hope asks, "Did you know you were going to do it?"
Carly: "Excuse me?"
Hope: "Before you did it. Did you know that you were going to kill Lawrence?"
Carly: "Are you asking me if it was premeditated?"
Hope: "I'm just trying to understand what happened to Bo."
Carly: "I don't understand what that has to do with Lawrence and me."
Hope: "Whoever went after Bo disarmed the fire alarm, and /?not sure what she says here?/ went shopping for gasoline. They knew they were going to do it. They had a plan and they executed it. Is that what you did?"
Carly: //all shaky voiced and teary eyed// "I...I didn't know I was going to kill him. Grabbing that knife was um....m'yeah... yeah I was angry and I... I hated him, but it was m-m-mm-more... desperation. You know, I just felt like there was nothing else that I could do."
Hope: "And now? Do you, do you have regrets? That you did it?"

Okay, Carly is going to go through all of this.
Carly: "Of course I regret what I did. I took a man's life. But like I said, I was desperate...and...I had to protect my daughter. Lawrence was ruthless. He was, he was cruel beyond words. He, he was obsessed with what he perceived to be the ultimate betrayal and then, and he would have stopped at nothing to punish me."
Hope: "Then there, there was no other way?"
Carly: "I felt there was no other way at the time. 'Cause I believed, and I still do, that he was deranged enough to murder an innocent child and how am I going to live with a belief like that and not do anything about it? So when I plunged that knife into him..." ::shaky breaths:: "as horrifying as it was, I kept telling myself, you know, I still tell myself, 'You saved your daughter's life, and your own.' Two lives saved. I did what had to be done." Hope is thinking again.

Carly: //turning away// "I'm sorry. I don't know why I'm telling you all of this."
Hope: "I asked."
Carly: "I supposed sometimes I still feel the need to justify it to myself. How I could kill a man. I'll be haunted for the rest of my life. Even if I do believe that it was the only way. I'll never truly recover from the trauma of taking a life."
Hope: "I think you were brave in what you did."
Carly: "You've said that to me before, but I've had a really hard time believing that you meant it."
Hope: "I don't say things if I don't mean them. It's not who I am. Not at all." //she hardens a little// "Actually I resent you thinking otherwise."
Carly: //tired and not being able to keep up with the shift// "What?"
Hope: //almost a whisper// "Not who I am at all.."
Carly: "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I've obviously upset you. I..." she's turning to leave.
Hope: "No. It's okay. I just. I need to lie down. It's been a very long and trying day."
Carly: "Right. I'll go."
Hope: "Carly? You don't need to worry about me. I just need to get some sleep."

Hope goes to take a sleeping pills but finds them empty. She doesn't remember Avenger dumping them all into Bo's coffee. She finds one in the bottom of her purse and takes it. Aaahhh. Avenger didn't count on there being one left. This could be the slip up that reveals or opens the door to reveal what happened.

Ciara explains that the wallet treasures disappeared but that she doesn't know how. He asks her if she knows who they belonged to.

Carly finds Vivian at the pub and lays into her about pulling Hope "into our crap" and tells her to never do it again. Vivian is aghast that she's defending Hope and Carly says, "She's been through enough!" Seeeee people. Carly is the good guy! Carly tells her that if she doesn't leave Hope alone then she and Bo will make it their life's work to get Victor to throw her out. Vivian smirks. Yeah, um, Carly? Small thing here.... The only reason Victor married Vivian was to keep her from messing with you and Bo having to kill her. Soooooo if Victor kicks her out, then she's coming after you again. :(

Ciara says that she's a good reader and lists off the names of the owners of the wallets. "Uncle Roman, Uncle Justin, Uncle Abe." She asks why Mommy had them. Bo doesn't know, but he's going to find out.

Hope is sleeping.... aaaaaaannnnnnnnnddddddd Avenger wakes up. "That was refreshing." Uh, oh. This does not look good.

Days: Thursday, July 29, 2010

E.J. slips while talking to Sami and says, "When we're married..." Yeah. She catches that and calls him on it.

Nicole has tons of money now thanks to E.J.'s many accounts and is very happy.

Brady recognizes Dr Baker on the pier. Baker runs and Brady follows.

Carly is walking Bo through his memories and asks him if he remembers what happened. He says, "yes."

Sami tells E.J. that the two of them married is a bad idea. He's wounded by how adamant she is that it is a bad idea.

Brady meets Nicole for lunch and tells her that he just saw Dr Baker.

Carly asks Bo to tell them what he remembers from last night. He opens his eyes and turns to Hope with a look of surprise.

Nicole tries to convince Brady that Dr Baker is dead and that he didn't really see him. Heehee. She's clinging to hope there. He tells her that he called the cops to let them know the Dr Baker was in town. Heehee.

E.J. drops the married train of thought and says that what matters is that the children are happy. He tells her that if he asks her to marry him then she will know that he asking.

Bo hasn't said anaything. Hope asks if there is something wrong. Carly says that maybe he's losing focus. She begins asking him questiosn again. He smells gasoline. She asks if it was before he entered the house or after. He can't remember. She asks if he remembers seeing anyone else. He says that he does. When Carly asks who it was he looks toward Hope again but doens't say anything.

E.J. tells Sami how it would happen if he was proposing. He's very eloquent and romantic and Sami is moved. E.J. is also feeling it as a real proposal and his voice cracks as he speaks of Sami being his past and wanting to create a future.

Vivian is still sniping at Victor about Maggie.

Carly gets Bo to name who he saw. He says that he saw Ciara at Victor's but can't remember what they talked about. She gently urges him on. He remembers that they were talking about Hope.

Sami stops E.J. when she realizes that he's feeling the moment. She tells him that they aren't ready for that so she's glad he's not proposing. He steps back and agrees and sits in the other chair across the room and you can tell that he's upset that Sami keeps stopping him from actually proposing.

Brady questions Nicole about why she wouldn't want him to call the cops on Dr Baker. Hehehe. So close to busted Nicole! :D Dr Baker calls Nicole to say that they've got a problem. Dude, she knows.

Bo gets out that he was there to see Hope but that she was gone. Only Ciara was there. Carly asks him if he remembers anything else about being home besides the Gasoline. He's getting frustrated and she asks him if he had anything to eat or drink. He's struggling to find the words to the faint images in him brain and gets out, "Yes...I think...." before Hope shouts, "Stop!"

Carly asks what's going on and Hope says that she thinks it's too much stress for Bo. Caroline shows up and Bo is still in his relaxation trance. Caroline asks what's going on.

Nicole covers her conversation by referring to Dr Baker as 'Jane' on the phone. After she hangs up Brady doesn't take what she says at face value. He's questioning her and she says that she has to leave. He's still suspicious.

Bo is now out of his trance. Yep Caroline screeching like that would wake anyone from a coma. She starts laying into Carly about not letting Bo rest and working him. He jumps to her defense and says that it was his idea and that Carly is helping him. She gets upset and leaves. Hope explains that it's because she's upset that she wasn't called right when Bo was admitted last night. Carly says taht Roman wanted to wait. Bo says that he was right. Hope is leaving and tells Carly to wait and include her in any more of the sessions so that she can take notes. Bo wants to go to the station to look through his files. Carly is scared that the person is still out there and tells him that he's not leaving the house. She's so protective and loves him so much.

E.J. lets Stefano know that he intends on marrying Sami.

Carly and Bo are arguing about him going to the station. He kisses her and tells her he loves her and leaves. She says, "Fine! If you won't listen to me maybe you'll listen to someone else." Then grabs her purse and leaves also.

Hope walks into the Kirakis Mansion and gets a call from Dr Baker who really has to talk to her. Hehe. Um. I'm bettign she doens't have any idea who he if.

Brady is being stupid and instead of investigating on his own he asks Nicole what's up.

Dr Baker starts to apologize and Hope asks who he is. He thinks she's covering because she can't talk and tells her that he'll explain later. There is a knock on the door and it's Carly. She's come to ask a favor of Hope. She needs help for Bo and knows that Hope still cares.

Carly tells Hope that Bo needs to rest and wants Hope to speak to him. Carly explains, "He thinks he's indestructible. That rest is for sissies and I can't get through to him." Hope agrees to give it a shot even though she doens't think he gives a damn about what she has to say these days.

At the station Abe asks Bo why he's there when he shouldn't even be out of the hospital.

Bo pulls out his wallet to show Theo a ticket stub, but it's not in there. Theo say, "Wallet. Treasures. Ciara." Bo, unlike Theo's parents, gets it and asks, "Ciara's treasures are wallets?" Ding ding ding ding. We have a winner!

Hope says, "SO now you're telling me what I feel?"
Carly: "It's not a surprise that you would care about him..."
Hope: ::interupting her:: "Can we just get to the point please?"
Carly: "Excu... Wait, wha... I don't understand why you're annoyed."
Hope: "Excuse me? Honestly?"
Carly: "Honestly. I'm confused. I mean one minute you're trashing me and my relationship with Bo ..."
Hope: "My husband."
Carly: "...and the next you're acting like we're okay. Like you care how I am."
Hope: "Carly. I don't know what you're talking about."
Carly: "You honestly don't remember how you acted at the pub the last time we met?"
Hope: "Like I said, I really don't know what you're talking about. The only thing I care about right now is finding the person who tried to murder Bo."
Vivian pops in and says, "Well, look no further. She's standing right in front of you." and indicates Carly of course. Hope looks annoyed but not like she actually thinks that Carly did it.

Bo tells Theo that he didn't know that Ciara's treasures were wallets. Theo says, "Treasures from Mommy." Bo clarifies, "Ciara's Mommy?" and Theo says, "Yeah." Hmmm. Now we're moving. :)

Days: Wednesday, July 28, 2010

Bo is in his hospital room packing a bag when Carly walks in.
Carly: Where do you think you're going?
Bo: Home.
Carly: No you're not.
Bo: Not up for discussion.
Carly: You were seriously injured ...you are in no shape to walk out of here.
Bo: ::Talking over Carly:: "Uh...I am fine. I'm not gonna waste any more time lying around in this bed. I'm gonna get out of here and find out who did this to me."
Carly: No you're not. What if they find you again? What is it with you? Do you have a death wish?

Hope is on the phone at the station trying to get info on Bo's case. Justin walks up to her and rubs her back she starts worrying about Ciara and Justin comforts her.

Dr Baker reads the headline about Bo's attack and has a flash back of Avenger yelling at him for calling 911. He is still smitten. :)

Sami brings Giovanni to visit Rafe at his office.

Carly is blocking the door and won't let Bo leave. The dialogue at the door is cute, at one point Bo mentions that he has his own personal physician at home, but it's the way Carly really makes Bo fall in line with just a few unwavering and concerned looks and a well placed/timed hand on Bo's chest that sell that part of the scene. Bo gives in and steps back into the room and tells her that he's going nuts sitting there in that room. She says that she thinks that the hospital is the safest place for him. Victor walks in and says that Hell must have frozen over because he and Carly actually agree on something.

Hope is upset contemplating who would want to do something so evil as to burn her husband alive.

Giovanni wants to take a picture of the fingerprint machine to show and tell. Rafe is sooooo good with him. That little actor just shines with Galen in this scene. So cute!

Victor asks to talk to Bo alone and Carly leaves the room.

Justin is smothering Hope with caring and support and she tells him that he's sweet but that she needs space. He says that he's confused because he thought she wanted them to spend more time together. She has no idea where he got that idea. He explains about the kiss and she doesn't know what he's talking about. Maybe now he'll get what Adrienne and Bo and Carly were trying to say.

Rafe tells Sami that he's not going to stand in the way of her building a life with E.J. if that's what she wants. Rafe says that he loves Sami's kids but doesn't think that E.J. would like him hanging around them. He tells her that she has to make a choice because she can't have it both ways. She gets mad and leaves.

Hope thinks Justin is talking about the kiss in Vivian's room. She tells him that she may never be ready to move on.

Carly and Bo are home. She's not happy that he was released. He says that he can't wait on someone else to figure out what happened to him. He turns around and faces the fireplace when he suddenly gets a look. Carly asks him if he just remembered something.

As soon as they walk in the door Giovanni starts acting up again. He's acting out about not being with Rafe.

He doesn't remember anything specific only a sharp pain in his head. Carly starts to massage his neck and then suggests that he lie down. She's going to try some relaxation techniques to maybe help the pain and possibly help him remember. Hope walks in to the house. Um.... good thing they were dressed. She soooo shouldn't be just walking in to their house without so much as knocking to announce herself.

Dr Baker tells Nicole that he's leaving town and she knows that he's asking for money. She won't give it to him unless she's sure he's leaving town. She threatens him to keep quiet or she'll have him 'ling underground'.

Bo and Carly both stand up from the couch and Hope explains that she's following up on the case and didn't think he'd be out of the hospital so soon. Carly suggests that Hope stay for the relaxation exercise so that she can ask appropriate questions.

Bo convinces Hope that it's a good idea for her to stay. Carly talks Bo through the meditation and relaxation. She asks him to tell her what he sees, smells and hears. He has a flashback of himself and Hope on the boat. She asks him if he did it. If he was taken back.

Brady sees Dr Baker on the pier.

Carly asks Bo where he is. He tells her that he's on the Fancy Face about to sail around the world with Hope. Carly feels the hit and glances at Hope. She asks Bo how it makes him feel. He says that the pain is gone. Carly bows her head and takes a second to keep control of her emotions and then continues leading Bo through his memories.

Days: Tuesday, July 27, 2010

Chloe knocks on Mel's door looking for Daniel.

He's at the hospital and Carly wants to know why he came to see her last night. He tells her that "It's all going to hell with Chloe."

Rafe is working on Nicole's code when Arianna walks into his office.

Stefano thinks that Kate is obsessing over Maddie's death. She's not though. She's obsessing over Chad's birth certificate. Don't tell me that Kate is Chad's real father? Heehee. :P Chad calls and wants to talk to Kate. Hhmmm? Hehehe. :D

Ari wants to know what Rafe's hiding.

Carly tells Daniel that Chloe's pulling away can't be that she doesn't want to be with him because she's pregnant. He asks her if she knows something. She's all teary eyed. She hates this position that she's in.

Chloe and Philip scene. You've seen it before. No new information here.

Stefano rips up the newspaper with Maddie's obituary. She says that she doesn't understand because he was so nice to Chad at the hospital. Stefano says that was then. Now he could care less and kind of lays into Kate. She comments about not being callous like him. He seriously just scolded her for caring about Maddie and Chad. I do not like that he made her feel bad. >:(

Chad shows up to see Kate. She's curious about why he's there. He says that first he wants to thank you for reaching out to him when Maddie died. She says that she hopes that he's not still blaming himself. When he says that he is, she says, "Honey, don't..." and he says that he thinks he's going to until he can find out more about her past.

Mel shows up at the hospital to check on Bo and goes up to Carly. This is going to be a great scene.
Mel: "Hey."
Carly: "Hi. I thought is was your day off."
Mel: "It is, but I wanted to check and see how Bo was doing."
Carly: "Oh, he's stable. He's resting. He's gonna be okay, thank God."
Mel: "That must have been so scary for you."
Carly: "Yeah."
Mel: "I know how much you love Bo, an...and I know I've said this before, but I just want you to be happy."
Carly: "That means a lot to me."
Mel: ::looks down almost ashamed:: "It shouldn't."
Carly: ::shocked:: "What?"
Mel: "You should take for granted that I want you to be happy. You know, and that I care about you because" ::Mel starts getting choked up and teary:: "'cause you're my Mom." ::Carly tears up too and pulls her lips into her mouth to keep from breaking out in a huge grin and waterfalls of tears simultaneously:: "You know, how could I not care?" Carly glances away she can't make eye contact because she's got so many tears in her eyes just begging to fall. She steps forward and pulls Melanie into a hug. Such a sweet sweet scene! Molly and Crystal did an amazing job here!

Daniel is back home at his apartment, but Chloe comes in a few seconds later. She tells him that she doesn't want to put the wedding off indefinitely. He asks why she wants to put if off at all. She says that she'll tell him.

Ari asks Rafe if they can agree to disagree about E.J.

Nicole has a mini freak out when she sees Brady holding her code book.

Chad asks Kate if what he heard about his mom is true.

Daniel promises Chloe that he'll be patient and wait one more month, but the she has to do one thing for him. She promises to fulfill his request of always telling him what she's thinking. Always tell him the truth. .... Well, so much for that promise.

Ari tells Rafe that she sees E.J. as a human who is complex, not just 'the bad guy'. Rafe's contemplating something and Ari asks what it is.

Kate tells Chad that the way to honor Maddie is to focus on her love for him. Kate is all teary and emotional. Great job from Lauren Koslow here also. Emotionally subtle and moving.

More Brady and Nicole....

Rafe tells Ari that he has work to do and she leaves. He has the same coffee mug in his office that Bo and Carly have at their house.

Daniel shows up at Mel's for their father daughter day. He bought her diamond earrings. She wants to talk and is concerned about him and Chloe. He says that they're fine.

Carly is as Chloe's and she asks if something happened. Chloe says, "More of the same. Lying to Daniel..." Why is she sighing exasperatedly when it's her choice to continue lying?

Kate hopes that she's helped Chad. He's thanking her and leaving when Stefano is coming in. Stefano looks smug, Kate looks caught and Chad just looks tired and over all of this drama.

Carly tells Chloe that she's been able to move the paternity test up to tomorrow at St Mary's across town.

Daniel gets a call to do a surgery across town. He wants Mel to go with him tomorrow to St Mary's. Who didn't see that one coming?

Kate gets Chad out of the house before Stefano can get too agitated. Kate says that he was looking for Will and that since he was there and Will wasn't that he decided to talk to Kate about his mother. Stefano says that he's going to have the staff send Chad away from now on. He doesn't want Kate talking to him. "We must make Chad Woods disappear." I'm not liking this Stefano. He's not all cute and Grandpapa bear like he was before Maddie died. He's very controlling of Kate. I'm not okay with that.

Days: Monday, July 26, 2010

Bo wakes up with a sore throat. Carly told him that he pulled his tube out because he wanted to tell her something but then fell back asleep because of the drugs before he could tell her. He doesn't remember what he was going to say.

Hope is awake. She sees that Carly called her and wonders what she wanted.

Stefano is reading Maddie obituary. Kate comes in and says that she can't believe that Maddie's gone. Stefano says that he's not happy that she's dead, but the he's not sad that her secret died with her. Kate slightly sarcastically remarks that it's safe now.

Will tells Chad that he would understand if Chad blamed him.

Victor and Maggie are at the hospital. Caroline comes in and is NOT happy that Victor didn't call her.

Carly and Bo are talking about him waking up last night. He can't remember what he was going to tell her. Roman comes in. He's mushy brother for a minute then says that he needs to ask Bo questions. Carly teases him about not letting the mushiness last too long.

Victor tells Caroline that it was Roman's decision not to call. She makes a comment about Maggie being there. Maggie says that she just happened to be there when Victor got the call and came along. Maggie thinks that it's interesting that two different women think of her as 'the other woman'. She sends Victor after Caroline.

Roman tells Bo how he was found and that Daniel saved him, and that someone had called 911. He tells Bo how close he came and you can't see her face but you can tell that Carly is having a hard time with it. You can see her arm move up to nervously brush her hair back or run over her brow a couple of times. They finally turn and notice her and she makes a comment about them being Starsky and Hutch and acting like it's just a case and that Bo didn't almost get burned to death. The guys both apologize and Bo calls her over to him. She leans down on his chest so he can hug and comfort her. She's a little teary and sniffley and says, "Stop talking about this like it's just a case, okay?" Hope walks in and sees Bo comforting Carly and hears Carly say, "Like it's no big deal because it is. It is." Bo is rubbing her back saying, "Okay. I know." Roman makes his leave and turns to find Hope in the open door. Neither Bo or Carly notice her. Bo is placing a comforting kiss on Carly's head. It's a very very sweet scene and I love that Carly doesn't hide her feelings from Roman. She's not apologetic for loving Bo. It makes me smile.

Stefano caught Kate's tone of voice and questions her as to whether there is something else about Maddie that he doesn't know. She plays it off as being worried that she may have missed something while combing through the safe deposit box.

Chad tells Will that his mom had an aneurysm and that it was nobody's fault.

Victor apologizes to Caroline who is in tears and gives her a hug.

Lexi and Theo come into the waiting room where Abe is. He says that Hope is in with Bo. Theo says that Aunt Hope has treasure. Abe's ears prick up.

Roman says hello to Hope and Carly stands up and turns, both she and Bo look toward Hope. Hope says that Caroline is out there and doesn't look too happy with Roman. He leaves to got talk to his mom. Hope says that she's on that case so she needs to ask Bo some questions. Carly nods and says not to take too long and leaves the room.

Philip gives Mel her final exam grades. She's aced all her classes and thinks for a second that Philip bought her grades just like he bought their early release to her. She thinks that maybe since she's in the accelerated program that maybe she'll be certified before Chloe's baby comes and she can help deliver her little brother or sister. Philip doesn't look nearly as excited at the idea but can't help but hug a bouncing Melanie.

Justin asks Carly is Hope is still in with him. A nurse brings the results of Bo's tox screen.

Bo tells Hope that the last thing he remembers is being at Victor's. He says that it's weird that he doesn't remember anything after Victor's when he passed out at home. Carly brings in the report and says that there is a reason for that.

Philip gives Mel a bracelet. He's such a jerk trying to buy her forgiveness when he hasn't even told her yet.

Chad and Will on on the pier. Chad is placing flowers on the steps where Maddie fell. Will says that it's not important to remember what she did, but that she got out of the life.

Kate at the pub asking the D.A. if Maddie was involved in any charity because she and Stefano want to make a donation. He says her safe deposit box was empty.

Carly says that there were massive amounts of drugs found in sleeping meds and that they don't know how it got in his system. He has a flash of a coffee mug. Carly catches his expression change and asks him if he just remembered something. Caroline and Victor come in and Hope asks if she can talk to Carly outside. Once out there she asks Carly where she was last night.

Abe tells Lexi that he put Hope on the case. Smooth move Abe.

Hope tells Carly that she's trying to establish a timeline and that she needs to narrow down who might have known that Carly wouldn't be home. Carly tells her that she called and left Bo a message saying she had to work, that rotations are posted on the board at the hospital in plain sight. That Bo didn't mention anyone stopping by when he called. Hope gets a phone call and Justin walks up to her. The call is to tell her that the fire and security alarms were disabled. Justin thinks that since there was also a 911 call that it must have been a joint effort and that someone got cold feet.

Adrienne tells Philip that he owes her for talking her neighbor out of calling the cops when he tailgated a visitor to another apartment while sneaking into Chloe's building. Philip gets a little angry and defensive at the idea that someone would have called the cops. Dude! You were entering an apartment building like an unwanted person. You were NOT buzzed in. Mel asks what he was doing at her dad's apartment.

Chad thinks that his dad has answers and wants to dig more. Kate says that she's the only one that knows who Chad father really is. Stefano comes into the room, "What did you just say?"

Roman comes into Bo's room to tell him and Hope that he's going back to the station. Bo asks Hope if she's okay. She says, "Nothing happened to me." He says, "It almost did." They're quiet. Bo says, "What we're not talking about, are you going to tell Ciara?" She says no, that she doesn't want her to know that she almost lost her daddy, the softly says, "That I almost lost you."

Stefano didn't hear what Kate said, just that she said something. She easily dissuades him.

Theo is digging on the beach and finds a wallet. He takes it to his parents and tells them he found treasure. 'Auntie Hope. Ciara. Treasure."

Bo calls Hope over to him and takes her hand trying to console her. She says that they are family and they get through things. He puts both of his hands on both of hers as Carly walks in and he says, "We always will be."

Days: Friday, July 23, 2010

Avenger is in Bo's room...alone....except for Bo..... :)

Nicole is lamenting her 'hovel' accommodations. She gets a call about a hot story from a person with a disguised voice. She needs to go to the pier to get the info. Rafe is the one on the phone. He's luring her there but he won't be there. I'm guessing he's going to look for stuff in her room.

At the hospital Carly says that she should call Hope. Roman tells her that she and Caroline can wait to get the news since Bo is fine right now. He says to let them sleep.

Avenger kisses Bo, "That my dear, was the kiss of death."

Maggie is having some personal thinking time when she gets a call from Victor. He's knows that it's late but he has some ideas he wants to show her. She tells him to come on over. "I'm looking for a good spreadsheet." Aawww. Maggie needs the distraction from her thoughts.

Rafe is at Nicole's hotel room. He's going to search. :) I hope that whatever he finds doesn't backfire.

Carly is struggling to maintain her composure. She's just so emotional because in her residency during her E.R. rotation she saw victims from a car accident. A gas tank had exploded at the accident site so the patients all had sever burns. She can't stop her mind from thinking about what would have happened to a gasoline doused Bo if Daniel hadn't found him in time. (Crystal is totally rocking this by the way.) She tells herself cry and Daniel pulls her into a hug. Abe turns to Roman, "So this is why you didn't want Hope down here?" Roman says that if Abe had any doubt about how much Carly does care about Bo there's the proof. Abe thinks that Hope has a right to know since Bo is her husband and her house almost burned down. Roman says that it's personal and he won't call Hope in the middle of the night to relay that info.

Avenger's new plan is to pump an air bubble into his I.V. tube. It won't be as slow and painful as she had planned, but it'll do.

Vivian comes downstairs and finds Victor leaving for a meeting. She's not happy and figures out that he's going to Maggie's.

Rafe finds a baby picture of Sydney. He loves her so much. He says that at least if he can't be a part of her life he can keep her away from those Dimeras.

Vivian presents Victor with a business plan for Mickey Horton's scholarship fund so that he doesn't have to work with Maggie anymore. I'm sure that's going to make him happy. Heehee.

Nicole realizes that she was setup and isn't actually meeting someone with a hot story lead. Heehee.

Rafe is still rummaging around the room. In a drawer he finds something that we don't see, but that he thinks might be something helpful.

Victor says that the plan is crap work and that she didn't even do it, that she hired it done. She says that she just wants to make him happy. Happier than "that red headed cow" and that does it. Victor is livid and leaves.

Ah, Rafe has found a small book/journal thing. He opens it to see if there is anything good inside.

Bo is waking up and see Avenger. She hears Carly outside the door and leaves. Bo is calling Hope's name when Carly comes in. She asks him if he wants her to call Hope. He says, "She was..." and starts convulsing. Carly calls for the crash cart.

Rafe comes across a code matrix. Hmm? He says, "What the hell does this mean?" I'm wondering the same thing.

Avenger is back at the mansion and kisses Ciara who is asleep on the couch. She says that she did it all for her. Um, yeah 'Honey I killed your daddy to make your life better.' doesn't really work if he's a good dad there Avenger.

Carly is watching Daniel try to save Bo. He thinks he knows what's wrong.

Vivian is lamenting to Gus. He suggests that Vivian get back to her roots and remind Victor of the person she is. Gus is suggesting mayhem. :)

Victor tells Maggie that he has a pretty good business plan but that he needs a little more input from her.

Rafe takes a picture of the code matrix and is gloating about his smart team being able to crack it when he hears a key in the door.

Maggie admits to Victor that she can't sleep, she's been a little down. She says that maybe they shouldn't be friends. Is Victor getting to her? She looks like she's putting up walls because she can't resist him. Heehee. :)

Nicole comes into the room and knows that someone has been there.

Bo is stable now. Carly says that she can't wait and needs to call Hope.

Avenger is telling a sleeping Ciara that she has to protect her. That Zach died because of him. Her phone rings. Avenger sees that it's Carly and doesn't answer. She thinks that Bo told Carly what happened and that they are coming for her.

Heehee. Nicole thinks that E.J. is the one who lured her to the pier. She's relived to find that her code book is still there. Heehee.

Rafe has sent the code to be cracked and is waiting on the results.

Victor is not pleased with Maggie's suggestion that they maybe not be friends. She says that from now on he needs to talk to her lawyer. He gets a call about Bo and heads to the hospital Maggie's going with him.

Abe and Roman are trying to figure out who might have done this. They rule out the DiMeras.

Avenger lays down for a last sleep.

Bo is waking up and struggling against his tube. Carly tries to keep him from pulling it out, but he gets it out anyway. She's got tears on her cheeks and says, "Stubborn man." She figures out that he's wanting to tell her who did this to him.

Days: Thursday, July 22, 2010

Recap of Avenger dousing Bo and lighting a match.

Rafe shows up at the mansion and Sami asks if Tiffany (the secretary) isn't allowed out on school nights. He says that they weren't done talking at she says that yes if she thought there was a chance that she'd walk away from E.J. in a heartbeat. Rafe pulls her in and kisses her.. Aaaaand Sami wakes up from her dream.

E.J. tells Nicole that he didn't think anything would forge a truce between them so they need to keep this to themselves.

Chloe shows up at the hospital and asks Carly if she's positive that Daniel won't find out that she's asking for a paternity test. Carly assures her that it's confidential. Chloe is sulking from her fight at tells Carly that this whole thing is all her fault.

Nicole and E.J. leave before Rafe can hear everything, just that they're working together and keeping a secret.

Someone knocks on the door before Avenger can drop the lit match.

Dr Baker asks Nicole how she found him. She tells him that since everyone thinks he's dead then he can't be too many places. She tells him that they are off the hook for framing Ari.

Rafe shows up at the DiMera mansion.

Chloe tells Carly that Daniel is pushing for them to get married now. And she's pouting because she can't be sure that Carly won't tell him. Carly blames herself, Chloe claims a little responsibility then asks Carly if she's happy. Of course she isn't.

Daniel is the one who knocked on Bo's door. It wasn't all the way closed so he goes in and finds Bo on the floor covered in gasoline. Avenger is hiding in the other room. Daniel tries to get Bo to come to.

Rafe wants to know who who E.J. said he was going to be with. Sami says someone regarding Arianna's case. Rafe tells her that it was Nicole that he saw him with.

Chloe and Carly are having the same conversation.

Dr Baker is trying to usher Nicole out the door. She asks if he's expecting his partner in crime. He says that he doesn't know after tonight. She asks if they had a falling out. "No more fun bashing strangers in the park?" Heehee. :)

Daniel is trying to revive Bo and there are sirens in the background signally the approach of help.

Carly says that her whole take on the situation changed when she found out that Vivian was behind it. Chloe says that it did for her too, but that she still did what she did. Carly is trying to console Chloe and tell her that it's all because of Vivian's hatred of Carly with Maxine comes in and calls Carly to the E.R. for a consult.

Now Sami and Rafe are having the same conversation re: E.J.

Daniel says that it looks like Bo has drugs in his system. Daniel didn't have time to call 911 and asks how they got there. Roman says that some guy called it in. Way to go Dr Baker! :) Roman asks Daniel if he thinks that his brother will survive. Daniel says that it depends on if he got to him in time.

Chloe is meeting with Father Matt. He's not happy about her lying to Daniel. She tells him that she's pregnant and wants to know if he'll continue to keep her confidence.

Avenger is not happy with Dr Baker for tipping off Roman. He explains that he was trying to keep her out of trouble for killing Bo.

Carly comes into the room where Bo is Daniel tells her that he went to her place looking for her and found Bo unconscious and that he's got drugs in his system. She's frantic and Daniel tries to get her to calm down.

Sami questions E.J. about where he's been. He figures out what she's hinting at and says that while he was working on Arianna's case he ran into Nicole.

Rafe is at the pub when Nicole walks in.

Avenger is freaking out because she doesn't have control over the situation. She can't be what Justin wants her to be and she can't let her feelings for Bo go. He takes the blame and lets her rail. He's really concerned for her. Aawwww!!! Uh, oh! She asks him if he thinks that she's too weak.

Daniel tells Carly that there was gasoline all over Bo and the house. He is not doing anything to calm her down. She's trying to help and Daniel and Maxine have to send her out of the room. Daniel grabs her to get her attention and says, :You are not a doctor in this room. You are a loved one." Aww! Great scene from Crystal and Shawn.

Sami and E.J. .... you know how this goes...

Father Matt asks if Daniel knows that Chloe is pregnant. Heehee. She tells him that Carly is going to tell Daniel if she doesn't.

Bo is stable. Carly hugs him in thanks. Avenger is sneaking around the hospital listening in. Carly is crying because she almost lost Bo tonight. Avenger is smiling and goes into the hallway that leads to the side door of Bo's room.

Sami says that when E.J. says 'trust me' that it brings to mind every member of her family telling her not to. She tells E.J. that Marlena wants to sell the townhouse. She tells him that she was hoping that she and the kids could stay with him.

Waiter causes Nicole's wine to spill on her. He takes her to the kitchen to clean it and Rafe grabs something from her purse.

Father Matt tells Chloe that doing things her way has gotten her hurt so far. He's a smart cookie he tells her, "You don't want my advice. You want me to keep quiet, and I will."

Roman tells Carly and Daniel that the smoke alarms and sprinklers were disabled. Carly figures that whoever drugged him wanted to burn him alive. They're contemplating who would want to do that to Bo.

Avenger is in his room taunting him right now.

Days: Tuesday, July 20, 2010

Recaps from yesterday. Bo runs into Avenger, Chloe tells Daniel she changed her mind. Lexi tells the Woods that Maddie didn't survive. Kate looks shocked.

D.A. Woods calls Chad a son of a bitch and blames him saying, "You killed her."

Avenger tells Bo she's there to pick up a game for Ciara. As she's leaving she kisses Bo then turns to leave. He calls for her to wait and says that something is wrong. "Where's Hope and what have you done with her?"


Mel is eating chocolate. (It's a Hersey's Bliss product placement/ad spot.) Philip comes in and talk goes to Chloe for a second then comes back around to Mel apologizing for not being honest and promising to never let it happen again. (again)

Chloe says that Father Matt won't marry them because he thinks she's a bad person.

Avenger asks Bo what he means by that. He plays it off as a joke, then admits that she is different. She says that he's right she is and there is a very good reason. ...commercial.... I'm guessing she's naming him as the 'very good reason'.

Chad is trying to defend himself and the D.A. won't listen. Lexi steps in, Woods lays into her, Stefano steps in to defend Lexi. Kate pulls him away and apologizes. D.A. Woods lays into Kate. He is a spiteful slimey man. She resents Chad for think that he had no control over as a child. I'm hoping that Kate and Stefano take in Chad.

Avenger tells Bo that she's working on a case undercover tonight. He says it's not just that, that she carries herself differently and that something weird is going on.

She says that she's just trying to pick up with her life. That maybe the 'little gossip faeries' that Bo is listening to do want her to do that.. He says that they only have her best interest in mind and that he believes them. She says that she's sure he does and then goes angry and lay into him about Carly living there. Then asks if he has a problem with that. He says that his problem is that she's dealing with it in a way that Hope never wood.

Daniel doesn't buy Chloe story. She's upset because she thinks he's calling her a liar. He just wants to know what's going on with Chloe. She picks up the phone and tells Daniel to call Father Matt and tell him that it's okay to say what Chloe told him in confession.

Kate and Stefano leave and Chad tries to talk to his father. D.A. Woods is laying into Chad again when Lexi steps in and tells them that she was on medication for a serious condition and was living on borrowed time. That Chad didn't kill her.

Bo says that if he's done things to make 'Hope' do things that she wouldn't normally do then he's sorry. She says that he made his choices. Bo stops her and says, "This is not about Carly, and I will not apologize for her. I hate what happened just as much as you, but to put this on Carly? That's below us." He says that they may not be together, but that he still loves her. That she's family and they spent a large part of their lives together. He says that he will always care and so will she.

Daniel tells Chloe that he doesn't want her to be upset and since this conversation is upsetting her then he'll wait.

It seems that on top of hypertension which Chad and Dad knew about, Maddie also had a history of aneurysms. Lexi explains that to Chad. D.A. Woods takes it as the fall making it happen and continues to blame Chad. This boy is going to be severely more messed up than he is now.

Bo tells Hope that if there is anything she needs to talk about that he'll be there. Carly calls to let him know that she'll be in emergency surgery all night. He tells Hope that it'll give them a chance to talk. She likes that.

Lexi is talking to Chad helping him understand what happened. She's very gentle and tries to reassure him that nothing he did causes Maddie's death. Stefano walks up and tells Chad that his mother loved him very much. Kate's hoop earrings are HUGE!!! Seriously, they're bigger around than her biceps.

Avenger asks Bo to make coffee. She's talking to herself, she has plans for Bo and it has something to do with her pills. She's still convinced that Bo is being manipulative.

Daniel suggests going to a different priest to get married. Chloe says no because she doesn't want to. He thinks they should get married right away. She says no.

Bo brings in the coffee then gets a message and goes in the other room to call Roman back. Avenger fixes his coffee pouring in the remainder of her pills.

Kate comes up to Chad and tells him again that he didn't kill his mother. She tells him that right now he can't listen to his father. Chad says that he's never really acted like his father and walks away. Kate mumbles to herself, "I wonder why." Hhmmm? So the D.A. is not Chad's father? This is kind of fun. :) I'm sooo going to miss Maddie and Kate interacting though!

Daniel is leaving and Chloe stops him. Daniel explains that he's going crazy because he can't handle all of the back and forth that Chloe is doing with the marriage. He asks her what she's so conflicted about. She says that she can't explain it to him and he leaves.

Bo returns to the living room and Avenger hands him his coffee. He starts to drink it, but then turns to talk to her. He says that he means it when he says that he's worried about her. She asks him how his coffee is.

Days: Monday, July 19, 2010

Stefano and Kate are arguing about Maddie.

Maddie and Chad are arguing about Maddie's past. Recap Maddie falling down the steps.

Philip tells Mel that it's a bad idea to throw a baby shower for Chloe.

Daniel thinks that Clytemnestra is a good name for the baby. Or Ichabod if it's a boy. Chloe says she's worried about Victor and what he'll say when he finds out she's having a baby with his son. "Godson." Daniel corrects her.

Roman stops by at Bo's behest to talk about Hope.

Dr Baker confirms with Avenger that she plans to kill Bo. She says that tonight's the night.

Bo explains that Hope is all over Carly for being too public with Bo, then she's admiring her in the next few hours. Bo mentions Adrienne and Justin's experiences too. Roman tell Bo he needs to back off right now. Roman! Doh!

Avenger says that Dr Baker doesn't get a say and neither does she. She says that it's written in the stars that it's time for Bo to die. Yep, that's definitely creepy.

Mel wants to know why a shower is a bad idea. He says that it's too soon. Philip's a jerk. Just needed to say that. Mel remembers that she left a bowl and spoon of Maggie's on the beach when she was trying to get Brady and Ari to talk to each other. She's heading back to get them now. Nathan and Stephanie are there by the way.

Daniel didn't think anything of Chloe's slip up, but of course she's talking to herself mulling it over.

Awww Dr Baker is telling Avenger that she makes him all fluttery in the tummy. He can't say it, but when she asks him if he's falling for her he denies it at first and then admits it. He's trying to talk her out of her plan because he really is concerned for her safety.

Chad is talking to his mom trying to get her to stay awake while the ambulance is on the way. She's muttering and he hears, "I did it for you. I lied for you."

Philip goes to see Chloe he asks her if there is any news on the paternity test. He's not happy when Chloe tells him that Father Matt knows what happened. Daniel sees Father Matt at the pub and sits to talk to him.

Dr Baker is trying hard to get Avenger to take a different course that is less likely to end her in jail.

Roman thinks that Hope needs to live her life her own way. Bo is frustrated because Roman isn't listening. Hey, Bo? I'm frustrated with Roman too. I'll smack him for you. Bo is still concerned for Hope and won't let her go without trying to help.

Dr Baker's plan involves mugging and detaining Bo and taking all his money and running off. Just Avenger and himself happily ever after. She likes his honesty.

Philip is being a jerk. Nothing new to see here.... Chloe is talking in circles. I repeat myself.....

Father Matt tells Daniel that there is no problem with Chloe's annulment. Ooops.

Um. Maddie JUST came into the hospital and Lexi is calling for an O.R. Why is she gonna cut Maddie open? Maddie didn't look like it was that bad of a fall, and I didn't think that surgery was the preferred first course of action for head injuries.

Mel and Stephanie get into it. Steph accuses Mel of stalking them. Yeah Steph, I'm sure that little sight was high on Mel's must see list.

Father Matt tells Daniel that he needs to ask Chloe to explain the reason that the wedding had to be postponed.

Kate sees Chad in the waiting room and asks him what happened. He tells her that she hit her head. When D.A. Woods gets there Chad runs to his dad and tells him what happened. D.A. Woods (I think I know what D.A. stands for now... >:( and no I don't mean District Attorney )gets angry because they were fighting and doesn't let Chad finish. As much as I hate the character I have to give David Leisure major props for the portrayal.

Mel is still angry from her run-in with Stephanie when she gets home and when Philip gets home she kisses him and tells him that she's lucky to have him.

Daniel tells Chloe that he ran into Father Matt and the father told him that there wasn't a problem with the annulment.

Ciara tells Bo that she hasn't been telling stories that she saw mommy hugging that man. He asks if she's talking about Justin and Ciara say no, that it was a different man. Ciara says that maybe he's the man that took her treasures. She's a smart cookie. He sends her back to bed when Henderson comes back down the stairs. Hope isn't at home. That's because ...

She's at Bo and Carly's house. She's walking around talking herself into a vengeance frenzy.

D.A. Woods is reaming out Chad for causing his mother harm.

Mel and Philip are in bed. She's thinking about the fact that someday they'll be expanding their family.

Daniel wants to talk about what he didn't get from Father Matt. Chloe says that she and Father Matt don't see eye to eye on many things anymore. Now Daniel is upset that Chloe canceled the wedding plans and didn't tell him. Chloe tells him that she just changed her mind and wants a civil ceremony.

Lexi tells Chad and the D.A. that Mrs. Woods didn't survive her injuries. What?!?!Maaaddiiiiieeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to miss her.

Bo is coming home and runs into Avenger on her way out. Yep. It's showdown time! :)

Days: Thursday, July 15, 2010

Recap of the end of the Bo and Carly scene at the hospital. Bo mentions that they've got the house to themselves so how about they have some Mai Tais and pretend they're on an island then the way Crystal delivers the line, "I don't need a Mai Tai...." ::kiss:: "Just you." Absolutely adorable! Bo walks away for a second and Hope goes up to Carly. Hope says that she thinks that she can help Carly.

Justin and Adrienne are arguing over whether Hope is 'messed up'. I soooooo missed them.

Chad runs into Kate, he has questions about Maddie.

E.J. is talking to someone on the phone. He's boring today. Nicole and Sami are bickering again. They're boring today also. :::opening titles:: Giovanni walks into to the room E.J. is in and needs help with a puzzle. E.J. is frustrated and short tempered with him and yells. The little actor is so cute he's trying to look sad and scared and on the verge of tears, but he also looks like he's trying not to laugh at James Scott.

Carly tells Hope that she's busy and starts to walk away. Hope says, "Are you? You seemed to have tie for Bo just now." Hope talks about knowing Bo better than anyone and that some people especially women love that he's impulsive and spontaneous. She says that he's also police commissioner and that his public displays of affection while still married to someone else might be bad for his image. Seriously Carly is very patient right now. She should have clocked Hope the second she started talking about women being drawn to Bo. But she calmly says, "So this is about his image and not jealousy?" Hope lays on the guilt saying that any number of Horton's could have walked around the corner and seen them and that Bo isn't their favorite person right now. So that Carly is potentially hurting him by not thinking about him losing his bond with the Hortons. Bo comes up and says that he and Hope need to have a talk.

E.J. apologizes to Giovanni.

Victor overhears Brady on the phone talking about how he and Arianna agree that they are over.

Bo has pulled Hope into the lounge and starts in on her for yelling at Carly in the middle of the nurses station. She brings up his 'affectionate goodbye' in the same place. She tells him as Police Commissioner it isn't right to be so public. He is sarcastic when he says, "So this is JUST about propriety?" Hope goes a tad bit Avenger with, 'oh I'm just a grasping neurotic woman who can't seem to get on with it.'

Adrienne calls Justin on being snarky because he's feeling the same things. Adrienne brings up the subject of what happened in the bedroom last night. Just further picks a fight and Adrienne walks out.

Chad wants to know what his mother was like. Kate says, "She was funny and she was warm and she was very bright." He wants to know why they aren't friends anymore. He asks if Kate knows how she put herself through college and if she knows what she did for a living. Kate has to leave.

D.A. Woods and Maddie are toasting her nomination. He's asking her if she's ready for the review. Kate calls Maddie to warn her that she has a BIG problem.

Bo asks if Hope thinks that divorce is the only option. She brings up him sleeping with Carly in their bed. They have the same fight they were having when she moved out. She says that she absolves him and she will be as sweet as pie to Carly. She says the conversation is over, but Bo doesn't look like he believes her.

Maddie wants to know what kind of problem Kate thinks she has. Kate explains that she's just had a conversation with Chad who was asking about her past. Mr. Woods saw that something scared Maddie and now he's got the look like he's going to use it to his advantage.

Victor offers to be a sounding board for Brady but he turns him down. Then as he's leaving Victor says, "I hope you find someone who makes you happy." Brady say, "The way Grandma Viv makes you happy?" Victor says, "Bite me." Heeheee loved that! :D Brady thought it was funny too.

Brady enlists Nicole to share her info so they can take down E.J. together.

Carly can tell by Bo's body language that the conversation with Hope didn't go very well. He says that they didn't argue, but that it's like mindgames. Carly is confused by Hope's behavior and Bo says that he doesn't know who she is anymore.

Hope takes her Avenger pill.

Adrienne stops by Bo's to bring a scarf of Carly's. They need to talk about Hope.

Nicole has a flash of telling Brady that E.J. is the one who got Anna to kidnap Sydney. Brady has a controlled level voice of rage and says that E.J. is dead. Nicole snaps out of her daydream while Brady is still on the phone. I don't think she's going to tell him.

Maddie tells Chad they need to be more discreet. Chad figures out the Kate called her. Kate goes to see D.A. Woods and says they need to have a talk.

In this version of Nicole's daydream Brady doesn't believe her, then when she confesses that snuck into the mansion trying to get info on E.J. claiming that she framed Arianna and he figures out that she has a right to be afraid since she actually did frame Arianna.

It's hard for Adrienne to approach the subject of Hope. She tells Bo about Hope and Justin kisses and Hope denying it happened.

Carly is going into the pub and Avenger walks by and says hello to her. Carly is shocked by the friendly tone.

Kate figures out that it wasn't D.A. Woods who talked to Chad since he obviously doesn't know anything. Maddie is being evasive and Shad tells her that he knows the truth, "that you were a whore."

Sami thinks E.J. is cute and I think she needs some kind of domestic abuse/controlling husband/boyfriend therapy.

Days: Wednesday, July 14, 2010

Bo is on the phone at home talking to Carly who is at work. Caaarrrlllyyyyy!!!!!!!! :D He says that he'd like to 'take advantage of her' and she says that she's on her way. Just then Justin knocks on Bo's door. He wants to talk about Hope.

Hope is at the Kirakis mansion and is about to head to the precinct when Adrienne shows up to talk.

Dr Baker getting stuck with exposition again. Talking to everyone and himself. He flips the TV on in time to see Nicole's opening tag for her report.

Just has come to tell Bo that Hope isn't doing as well as Bo thinks that she is and that Justin wants to be the guy to be there for her.

Adrienne tells Hope that something isn't right and that it's Hope.

Nicole is interrupted by E.J. Ari pans the camera over to him.

Bo is annoyed that Justin is telling him that 'Hope needs someone.' Justin thinks that things are changing between them. Bo scoffs and says that Hope has said on more than one occasion that Justin is just a friend.

Adrienne is upset because Hope is refusing to acknowledge that she was hugging Justin and that he had her lipstick all over him. Hope thinks that Adrienne just doesn't want her to be close to him. Hope really can't remember Avenger kissing Justin.

Ooooo Abe just got a prescription from Hope/Avenger's doctor. He is a smart cookie and asks to know everything there is to know about the side effects.

E.J. is telling the camera that Nicole is a pathological liar and lies to the viewing public every night. Nicole breaks in and starts to defend herself and Ari yells cut and turns off the camera.

Justin thinks that Bo is trying to control Hope. They are raising their voices when Carly walks in. She points out that Bo seems to really be bothered by Justin's interest in Hope.

Psych doc is explaining that the side effects in women are different and that they include extreme sleep walking and alternate lives.

Ooooo Hope just told Adrienne that she's seeing things between Hope and Justin that just aren't there. Adrienne is very worried. She believes that Hope has no idea what Adrienne is talking about.

Ari explains that the broadcasters stopped the feed for breaking news. Nicole demands to know what the breaking news was. Ari is beaming and gets a valley girl voice explaining that the Snow Leopard at the zoo just gave birth. Nicole is pissed off! Gaby won the baby leopard betting pool at the pub. Nicole threatens to still spill the beans even if she's not on air.

Carly gets Bo to open up about Justin and why he's uneasy about Hope. Carly says that she gets it. That Bo and Hope are soulmates. That it hurt Hope when Carly and Bo got together so it's only expected that Bo is hurt when Hope finds someone new. He thanks her for being so understanding. She says, "I'm a highly evolved person, and I know it's the best way to hold on to you." He says, "You don't have to worry about that." and pulls her into his lap. "I fell in love with you a long time ago and fate or whatever brought you back in my life and I fell all over again." Smooches! :) Aaawwww!!!!!

Psych doc is concerned a little that Hope is back for a third refill of her pills. She says that she stopped taking them when Alice died because she needed to be alert. Now doc is asking about side effects.

The new segment producer tells Nicole not to break her story because she's already promoed it and she'd run the chance of getting scooped.

Hope says that she's had strange dreams but doesn't think that they're caused by the medication. Goober doc writes her another script. Good one buddy.

Carly and Bo are in bed and he asks if she's still stuck on their earlier conversation. She says that she knows that no matter what he says he's still bother by the idea that Hope may have found something with Justin. He says that he doesn't want her rushing into something. Carly asks if that what he thinks they did? She says that she doesn't regret a thing. She says that she hopes that Bo doesn't feel obligated to Carly because of her state of mind when she got back in town. She says that if them getting back together took her by surprise then it had to have him also. He agrees. She asks him to be honest and tell her if he has any regrets. ... commercial ...

Bo says that he does not have a single regret. He points out that every time Vivian pulled something that Carly offered to get out of his life. He says that maybe they rushed into things but that he would have told her if he thought it was a mistake. She says that she believes that. He says that when Hope took Ciara and walked out the he thought that his life was over but now he doesn't because of Carly. Carly says that the first time they got together that he was in a really bad place and that it didn't end well. He asks if it's because of his reaction to the Justin thing. Carly keeps on her train of thought. "We're past the 'Oh my gosh this is incredible' phase. Okay? So we can either deepen this or we can end it." Wow! (Shallow sidenote: Crystal is killing these scenes! ) "I think Hope is pushing on, but I'm guessing it's because she feels like she doesn't have a choice. ::she takes a deep breath:: If her moving on really bothers you I want you to tell me. I'd rather be hurt than live a lie. Does that make sense?" Bo says that it does make sense, but that he disagrees with her on their being past the 'oh my gosh this is incredible' part. More smooches!!!!! Seriously, Crystal!

Justin runs into Hope at the pub Adrienne runs into them both and Hope keeps heading to the station.

Brady and Ari are still going back and forth about Nicole and E.J. and everything.

E.J. and Sami are in the living room. E.J. is closing all the doors he tells Sami that he was thinking about taking Giovanni and Sydney away for the summer and wants Ali and Sami to join them. She calls E.J. on it being suspicious that he's making plans now, after Nicole says that she's got something on him.

Doc Baker tells Nicole not to poke E.J. because it will just prompt him to dig and uncover her framing of Ari.

Lexi finds Abe's script for sleep meds. Hope walks up during their convo.

Adrienne and Justin are talking about Hope. She's concerned that Hope is bad for Justin because she feels like Hope is leading him on. Adrienne explains that he and Hope have different ideas of what's going on between the two of them.

Hope is still at the hospital and sees when Bo walks Carly to the duty desk. Carly says that he didn't have to do that and he says that she better get used to it because that's the kind of thing that guys do when they're in love. More smooches!!!! Hope is not nearly as excited about Bo and Carly kissing as I am. lol

Recap of the Kate and Maddie scene.

Henderson reminds Vivian that Victor won't be home for dinner.

He's at Maggie's. He's come to tell her about the Mickey Horton scholarship foundation and to invite her to dinner to go over the details with her. She says that she's not going anywhere with him. Hehe.

Jen and Carly are on the docks. Jen is getting ready to head home. Carly is sorry to hear that. :( Jen asks Carly if she thinks that she should stay.

Bo is looking for a crayon for Ciara and comes across the divorce papers again. Hope arrives to pick up Ciara.

Dr Baker is having an Avenger flashback when Nicole bursts in.

Jen says that if Carly is in trouble then she wants to be here for her. Aawww. :) Jen asks about Daniel, Carly says that she hasn't told him. She says that she'd give anything not to know what she knows. Jen agrees that sometimes you'd rather not be involved. Carly says that it sounds personal. Jen say that it is. She wants to talk to Carly about Bo and Hope. Grrrrr. >:(

Hope is upset that Arianna was released on bail.

Nicole wants Dr Baker and Avenger to take out E.J.

Hope says that Arianna is dangerous and shouldn't be out on bail. Avenger is creeping into Hope's wakeful psyche and she's creepy.

Maggie is calling Victor on his bull. She says, "I can see through you. You may not want it to be true, but it is." Maggie turns him down again and Vivian shows up at the door.

Carly jumps to defending Bo having split with Hope before Carly showed up. Jen says that she actually wants to talk about Carly.

Heehee Bo picks up the problem with men aspect of Hope's rant. He says that maybe she's a little too close to the case. Hope says that she's concerned that Bo might be next. Oh, Hope, Nicole has other plans for Avenger tonight. Hehehehe. :)

Kate will help Maddie as long as she can as long as it doesn't cost her anything. Maddie says, "God my fate is in your hands, could it get any worse than that?" Kate says it already has, Stefano is in the doorway.

Jen says that Hope is always going to be in Bo's life. She's concerned that Carly is going to get hurt. Carly says that she already knows that and is going to have to get used to it.

Hope back tracks saying that she just means it will be someone like him.

Dr Baker tells Nicole no dice on taking E.J. out again.

Maddie is getting ready to leave but Stefano is blocking her path. He didn't hear what they were saying he just wants to know what she was doing there. HE says that if Maddie won't tell him then he'll just ask his wife.

Victor tells Vivian to leave. Maggie says that he does not give orders in her house. She wants Victor to leave and Vivian to stay.

Bo and Hope are talking about not talking about the divorce papers. Hope says that Bo's moved on and that she needs to find a way to do so as well and that that means they should go through with the divorce. Carly comes home and sees them both and feels the tension.

Carly starts to go upstairs to leave Hope and Bo alone for privacy. Hope says, no that she'll just go get Ciara.

Before Stefano can ask Kate a direct question she jumps in and says that Madeline just doesn't trust him. Kate says that she's not longer a threat to them.

Vivian to Maggie: "Do you think I like having a romantic rival that makes Betty Crocker looks like Lady Gaga?" Hahaha. Oh, Vivian you don't know Maggie AT ALL! :)

Carly apologizes again as Bo comes back into the house from seeing off Ciara. Bo says that Carly lives there and Hope knows that. Bo tells her about Hope walking in while he was holding the divorce papers and that Hope wants to go ahead with it. Carly asks if Bo still does. She asks if he's having second thoughts. He says no. She says, "Listen to me, and this isn't be being noble, because I'm not, but no one should have to go through anything as terrible as a divorce unless they're absolutely sure. Maybe I'm the one who should step back." You seriously have to love Carly. I adore her for not settling right now. She wants to make sure that Bo is in it for her and doesn't regret no being with Hope.

Jen is leaving and runs into Vivian. Jen backs up and says, "Whoa! Two more minutes and I would have been home free." Vivian is trying to be all nice and mentions Lawrence and Jen says, "Vivian are you out of your mind?!?" Heehee. Thank you!

Justin and Ciara are talking and Hope is getting a headache. Justin is going to Ciara sit while Hope gets some rest. Here comes Avenger!!!! :)

Carly is concerned that Hope is not all 100% and that it's not just Alice dying. She's not sure that given this information it might not be a good thing to go ahead with the divorce.

Jen is laying into Vivian for asking her to mourn the death of the man who raped her and when Vivian says, "He paid for it." Jen says, "Not enough! Because after he ruined my life, he went on to ruin Carly's life." Vivian can't believe that Jen is taking Carly's side. Jen says that she can't believe that she's talking to Vivian. She says that she's going back to London and that Vivian knows exactly where she can go. Heehee!

Carly reminds Bo of the 'nice' Hope while he was gone and how that changed after he returned. He starts to see her concerns.

Dr Baker stands up to Nicole. His partner matters to him. Aawww dude fell hard for Avenger. :D

Bo says that he's not comfortable talking about Hope with Carly anymore. She apologizes and he says that she just shouldn't have to deal with that. She has a flashback to what Jen said and she gets that sad, worried look on her face and goes quiet. When Bo asks what's wrong she says 'nothing' and distracts him with kisses.

Ciara tells Justin that he lost his wallet. He asks her how she knows that and she says that 'Mommy had it.'

Days: Thursday, June 24, 2010

Kayla shows up at Bo's. She says that she wishes it were under better circumstances. Kayla brought Kim with her. Yay! :)

Shane and Rafe are on a plane. They ended up on the same plane by separate paths and aren't actually 'traveling together.' Hehehe.

Carrie and Roman in the Pub. Carrie says that she's worried that Anna might do something crazy.

Hope is falling apart and asks who she will turn to now that Alice is gone. Doug says, how about me? Hope goes to hug her dad.

Maggie is bustling about. Bill tells her to take care of herself.

Salem character commercial spot. "Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters" In case you're interested. This time they had the little actress playing Ali do the commercial.

Kate and Lucas, Kate is wearing purple and her blue streak is very in focus today. Lucas is sad, Kate is missing Alice too. It's very sweet.

Jen is on the phone with the funeral place. Alice sat down and planned it after Mickey died. They won't have to do anything. Another Julie/Alice flashback. :)

Rafe asks Shane if he's going back to the ISA or if the fact that they let him rot in jail for a year soured him. Shane says he needs to make sure his family is okay before he does anything else.

Kim is telling Kayla and Bo that she hasn't heard from Shane. Heehee. She's going to be soooooo surprised. :)

Lucas and Kate are talking about Ali living with him and traveling the world. Lucas doesn't think Sami will go for it. Kate says that she was happy when Lucas took Ali with him because she feels like Ali is getting lost in the shuffle. I love a nurturing Kate. :)

Sami tells Carrie about Rafe and how she drove him away.

Maggie doesn't like being handled. She says that Marie showed up with a ham, then took the trash out and possibly washed her car. Bill says that she was a nun that's what they do. Maggie counters with Laura showing up asking if she needs a ride to the church. Maggie doesn't want to be treated as feeble. She says that she was lost after Mickey died but that she's found herself and she's fine. He asks if she's fine then why didn't she tell anyone that her Myasthenia Gravis came back.

Doug is talking to Hope like Alice thought she and Bo would get back together. Gggrrrrrr!!! >:( Hope isn't the same Hope. She's changed. Bo needs to be with Carly.

Lucas tells Will that he's thinking about running his business from Hong Kong meaning that he'd be away from Will for a longer time. Will is not happy. Of course he's not. He hates not having his dad nearby.

Kim is ranting about Shane being reckless (just like old times) when Roman walks in. Kayla and Kim are stunned.

Bill says that Alice asked him to look after Maggie because she was worried about her. Mickey asked Bill to do the same thing.

Abe shows up at the Horton's. Flashback of Abe arresting Alice. :)

Hope has an Alice flashback. Very 80's Hope shoulder pads big hair and everything.

Will is telling Lucas that he doesn't want to "leave mom and Johnny and Ali and Sydney." Kate clears her throat. "And Grandma. How could I leave Grandma?" He's so deadpan it's funny! Cute scene.

Shane asks Rafe if he's talked to Sami yet. Rafe hasn't so Shane says, "So no on has told you yet? Alice Horton died." How did Shane find that out, but not that hsi family is okay.

Bo says he's going to call Carly. Kayla jumps, "Carly?!? She's not coming to the funeral is she?" Seriously Kayla?

Okay, this is hard. I know that it's a very emotional scene for Kristian Alfonso, but I really want Hope to stop whining.

Bo and Kayla, she's all Hope belongs here. Bo says that he didn't plan it, but that after Hope moved out and Carly came back he fell in love and that changed everything.

Sami said, "I never expected to fall in love with a guy." Heheheheh. That just had to be pointed out. lol And Carrie states the obvious, "Sami is it possible that you love both these guys?" Yes, yes Carrie it is possible. Great detective skills. She was always a little dim though wasn't she?

Frances Reid voice over, reading a letter/poem about love never ending. Sweet. :)

Days: Tuesday, June 22, 2010

Okay in the re-shot scene It's clear that Melanie comes into the room after Chloe mentions that she slept with another man, then her closing the door and clearing her throat is actually what prompts Chloe to end the call to Nicole.

Jen is working on a scrapbook that she started a long time ago for Alice. She's worried she won't finish it in time. Ali is going to help her.

Stefano tells Maddie that she can have back everything that's hers. He says that he'll return everything untouched and unread she has his word. However Kate is reading a document that was in the envelope even as Maddie and Stefano speak.

Mike is delayed in Boston. Laura thinks that Alice is holding on just for Mike.

Jen is going to make something (doughnuts?) from Alice's special recipe. One that Alice never shared with Marie or Bill. She gives everyone a job including Ali who is charged with stirring in the love. Aawww. :) I love how they're including her.

Ha! Chloe tries to blame her indecision on her meds again. Mel says, "You're on antibiotics and maybe some aspirin. I don't think that's messing with your head." Yay Mel! :) Chloe brings up having doubts on your wedding day and pointedly asks Mel if she remembers. Now Chloe has gone from whining and hand wringing to manipulative with this situation.

Stefano tells Maddie that he has no interest in her family's affairs. She says, yes, they are very boring. Then I didn't catch the rest because when Stefano turned around it struck me just how amazing and handsome Joseph is looking lately. I never have thought Stefano to be charismatic, but in that shot it is very clear that he is indeed. Or the lighting for that scene was really really good. :D

Philip gets the message about the wedding. His phone was off earlier.

Mel asks Chloe is it's weird that Philip her old high school boyfriend is going to be her step-son-in-law. Chloe tells Mel that she's glad that she and Daniel found each other. Chloe tells her that she had a pretty bad foster family that even sent her back because she was too much trouble. So she says she would never stand in the way of their relationship. Mel visibly relaxes and says that she's so glad to hear that. She gives Chloe her necklace so she'll have something old and borrowed the new and blue being the flowers in a blue vase. Mel adds, "If you hurt him I will treat you like gum on the bottom of my shoe and I hate violence, so giiirl don't make me crush you." Chloe looks appropriately terrified. Mel is so her mother's daughter! :)

Chad and Mia walk into Maggie's as Maggie and Melissa are leaving. Chad tells Mia that he's not going to Wake Forrest, that he's staying in Salem. Mia is happy and kisses him.

Marie, Bill, Jen, Will and Laura are reminiscing.

Philip gets to the hospital and Mel tells him that he's not late that they are still waiting for the J.O.P. Daniel notices that Mel's necklace is missing and asks her about it. She lets him know that she loaned it to Chloe as her something borrowed. Daniel is so very proud of her and they hug. The J.O.P. is there and asks if they're ready. Daniel says that he has to do one more thing and asks Chloe if she's sure. She takes it as doubt and asks him if he's sure. She asks if he doesn't want to marry her. ... mid point commercial ...

Jen and Melissa looking through pictures. Jen has an Alice flashback. Aawww. I forgot she was a candy striper. :)

Chloe asks for a moment alone with Daniel. Mel and Philip and the J.O.P. leave the room.

She makes him promise that she's marrying her because he loves her not because he's afraid it will fall apart if it doesn't happen. Which is exactly what she's doing. He says he is doing it because he loves her.

Stefano is back home and tells Kate that they're done with Maddie. He tells her to pack up the other stuff and mail it to Maddie.

Dude! Lucas is using Alice guilt on Will to get him to move out of the mansion. Oh, Nathan says that Alice gave him Tom's medicine bag. Will tells Bill that he should have it. Bill says, "You want to go against the wishes of Alice Horton?!?" Hehehe. Cute. :)

Mel asks Philip if he wants to place odds on whether or not Chloe goes through with the wedding. Daniel pops out and says that they're ready.

Kate plays off her jumpiness as being upset about Alice and about not being able to see her son. Stefano doesn't look convinced but lets it drop.

Maddie goes to see Mia.

Carly goes to check on Chloe and asks Maxine for her chart. Maxine tells her that she might want to wait since Chloe is getting married as they speak.

Maxine comes in to call away the J.O.P. in the middle of the 'wedding'. Chloe is upset, they're 'halfway married' she pouts.

Will tells Stefano that he doesn't want to worry Alice and that maybe he should move out.

Kate is at the Pub and sees all of the Hortons through the window. Lucas comes out to talk to her. He invites Kate in but she says that she doesn't want to do that to Laura.

The scrapbook is done and Jen thanks Ali for all her help. Mike calls. He's in town.

Chloe is getting antsy that Kevin isn't back yet. When the door opens Daniel thinks that he's come back, but it's Carly. Philip is all "deja vu all over again" and Carly says, "Except this time I'm going to say what I came here to say."
