Maddie shows up at the mansion to talk to Kate. :D

Chad and Will and some more guys are at the beach.

Brady is disappointed in the results his source has turned up.

Arianna has been in jail for a very long time without a bail hearing.

Rafe of course didn't hear Nicole's conversation, but he did catch her saying Ari's name. He's sure that Nicole is involved somehow in Ari's case.

Kim calls Shane back before he leaves. She says that her only regret upon her diagnosis is that she wasn't with him.

Nicole says that Rafe heard her in a private conversation and that no wonder people are losing faith in the police system. Um, Nicole, dude.... It's not private if you're on the docks in a public space and someone can hear you from 20 feet away.

Chad tells Will that his mom (Maddie) knows how to get things done and Will's mom "on the other hand ......."

Maddie asks Kate if she's going to spill the beans to Stefano. Maybe in five years we'll find out what those beans are?

They oddly bring Ari her personal affects before her arraignment. She pulls out her engagement ring. Tears, sniffles.

Brady tells his source guy to find the money clip and it will solve everything.

Kim tells Shane that it's too late. Noooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kiss him! Kim, he loooooves you! ::sigh:: I miss them!

Kate tells Maddie that she led Stefano to the one thing that she didn't want him to find.

Will jumps to Sami's defense and he yells at Chad. Chad says that he's sorry. Aw cute little fight. :D T and Kinsey are ready to go, but the just now notice that Gabby is gone. She's at Arianna's hearing.

Rafe tells Nicole that Ari was framed and that she will be freed. Nicole is desperate to know what goes on in the hearing, but it's closed to the public.

Shane says it's not too late and Kim says that they can't go back.

Maddie tells Kate to not tell Stefano 'whatever' was in that envelope.

Kinsey reminds Will that Gaby's sister is in court. He goes to check on her.

E.J. tells Nicole's camera that Ari was granted bail.

Shane says that he agrees that they can't go back and he doesn't want to, but that they're together here, now. He says that the entire time he was away that the only things he thought about were her and the kids and grandkids.

Maddie says that she's been very careful and that Kate is the only one who knows about this. She says that she and Kate were very close and that if Kate ever cared about her that she would do this for her.

Will meets up with Gaby on the docks and tells him that Ari is out on bail. he invites her to the lake to go wakeboarding with the gang.

E.J. tells Nicole that bail wasn't a problem because he took care of the 300,000 bond.

Oooooo Chad just sent Will 'back to the house' to get food. Kate and Maddie are still in it. Maddie asks if Kate hates her so much that she'd turn 'the document' over to Stefano. Kate says, "I don't hate you. On the contrary..."

Rafe and Brady are talking about E.J. and Arianna being set up and Nicole playing Lois Lane and Brady having been drugged. When Brady defends Nicole saying that at least she believes in him, Rafe says, "Good luck with that." and walks off. Hehehe! I love Rafe sometimes. :D

Arianna gives Brady the engagement ring back. She says that she loves him and always will, but that they need space. Brady tells her that it was a gift and that she should sell it and use the money to start paying back E.J.

Kate says that she's fond of Maddie that she always has been. She says that's why she brought her along into 'the life'. Kate says that Maddie was one of Stefano's best girls. I'm guessing that the document is maybe a contract that Maddie signed with Stefano when she started working for him and that as long as Stefano doesn't know that she has it that she can hold it for insurance, but that he could use it to ruin her.

Shane and Kim are heading back to L.A. together. I'm going to miss them soooooo much!!!!!!!

Rafe puts in a request to not be sent out of town on cases for a while.

Kate tells Maddie that as long as Stefano doesn't ask directly that she won't say anything. Maddie is grateful. Will is coming down the stairs and overhears "We'll let the past stay in the past. No one needs to know that you were..." "A whore?" Maddie replies. Will looks like an anime character he has giant eyes full of shock! Heehee. :)

Days: Wednesday, June 30, 2010

Daniel walks into Chloe's room where she and Carly are. He wants to know what's going on as there's always tension when the two of them are together. Chloe says that Carly was just leaving Carly says that she's not. At least Crystal probably has an easy time learning her lines since she's got the same 4 over and over again! Really ready for her to have something different to play. It's like Carly is on the plot treadmill. She keeps walking, but she's not getting ANYwhere.

Mel asks Philip why he didn't let Patch and Kayla keep his son.

Shane is back to talk to Kim. Heehee.

Rafe wants Arianna to dump E.J. as her lawyer. Arianna calls him on it being because of Sami.

E.J. calls Sami on not leaving or putting space between them when he told her that he loved her.

Chloe is trying to play off Carly's presence as concern for the baby and the elevator fall. Daniel says that Carly knows the baby is fine and asks her to explain herself. A nurse comes in to announce a big car accident that requires Carly and Daniel to help. Chloe recaps that last 6 months aloud to herself in the room. Nicole comes in whining about her troubles and then notices that Chloe doesn't respond sympathetically.

Arianna defends her choice to allow E.J. to represent her. Rafe asks what Brady thinks and Arianna tells Rafe that they broke up. He speculates that it's because of E.J. and Arianna gets teary eyed, says no that she doesn't want to talk about it right now. He tells her that E.J. is only helping her to look good to Sami. She wants to know if everything is about Sami. I think that E.J. is keeping Arianna close by. He's making her indebted to him so that he has leverage in the future. He does after all know that Ari was undercover to expose his little drug operation even though she doesn't realize that he was the guy in charge.

Kim and Shane yelling at each other. I love it! She storms out of the house.

Philip tells Mel that he didn't let Patch and Kayla adopt his son because he didn't want to be reminded.

Nicole notices that Chloe doesn't have a wedding ring on.

Daniel and Carly are arguing about a patient in the ER Carly saying that the mother made a mistake and Daniel saying that she should have known better. Carly says that now she does and won't do it again. That mothers make mistakes and sometimes it hurts the child and they regret it. He asks her if the last comment is about the ER mom or her and Melanie. Of course it's about her and Melanie. She's her mommy and tried to do what she thought was best.

Rafe tells Arianna that he found Anna and she evaded him again and that he did it all for Sami. Arianna says that it's fate that she doesn't think that Rafe and Sami were meant to be together.

Sami is being all emotionally avoidy and goes to leave the room E.J. stops her with an arm around her waist before she makes it out of the living room.

Shane followed Kim to the pub and knocks until she opens the door. He hands her a piece of paper in explanation instead of pleading his case.

Mel asks Philip if he did background check on the people who adopted his son. Philip says that he had them thoroughly check out. She's concerned that his son may have ended up in a place like she did. Philip has been keeping tabs on him and he knows that he's happy.

Nicole tells Chloe to stop crying. Yes please!

E.J. keeps invading Sami's personal space telling her to admit that she has feelings for him.

E.J. gets a text that Arianna's arraignment has been moved up. He tells Sami that she's saved by the bell and kisses her on the way out.

Daniel asks Carly if Chloe has made a mistake with the baby. Carly says that no, she has and that she shouldn't be pushing Chloe and that if Chloe's made a mistake then she needs to talk to Daniel about it herself.

Chloe asks Nicole what E.J. has on her. Chloe says "What am I going to do if Carly tells Daniel that I slept with someone else?!?" and Daniel walks into the room.

Mel asks Philip if he might want to have another child someday.

Daniel asks Nicole to leave him and Chloe alone. She asks him if Carly and he talked about her. He asks Chloe if she would lie to him.

The letter Shane gave Kim says that he's leaving the ISA. Aawwwwww!!!! He looooooves her so much! He wanted her to know because he finally decided that he doesn't want to spend the rest of his life somewhere his family isn't. It killed him to not have been with her while she had leukemia. He hopes that she'll let him back in. Aawwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rafe tells E.J. that Ari isn't his client anymore. How many times if someone going to fire Arianna's defense attorney on her behalf and against her wishes? Ha! Ari is being very quiet until Rafe makes a move to pummel E.J. and she calls to him to stop and asks him to leave.

Talk of kids makes Philip nervous, Mel is all cute and says that she's not talking about right now, but that they'll know when the time is right.

Daniel is concerned for Chloe and asks her if she's keeping something about her medical condition from him. She says, "no." They say they love each other, and make plans to leave the hospital. Yes please! That room is getting boring!

Shane tells Kim she doesn't have to decide right now that he just wanted her to know.

Ari is nervous and jittery she's worried about the arraignment and isn't confident in E.J. getting her free.

Nicole is once again talking aloud on the docks about herself and Dr Baker framing Arianna.

Days: Monday, June 28, 2010

Sami comes downstairs and opens the door to Rafe. He says that he had to see her.

Bo and Hope both reach to pick up a flower that fell from Alice's coffin and their hands touch. They share a moment of remembering.

Kate contemplates whether or not to tell Stefano about what she found in Maddie's safe deposit box.

Chad finds Maddie he wants to discuss something that's happened that he's not too happy about. Lemme guess.... Mia?

Hope tells Bo she'll see him back at the house. Left alone Bo has another flashback of Alice. The family is remembering Alice. Roman pulls Kayla aside and asks if she saw Shane and if she knows where Kim is. Kim is walking into Bo's house mumbling about Shane and having a flashback of Alice. Of course Shane has followed her and when he knocks she opens the door.

After a long hug Sami asks Rafe where he's been. He says that he needs to be alone with her.

Family still reminiscing. Hope says that Alice saved her and Bo. Bo walks in and Ciara asks Hope to tell her about when Alice saved them. Hope relates the story of them in new Orleans. Then Ciara says, "I wish Great Grandma could save you and daddy again."

Kate is talking to Alice at the memorial service site. She says that she didn't feel she should have come to the service, but that Alice was her son's grandmother and that she's sorry for the things she did that made it so hard for them and kept Lucas from knowing her as his grandmother for so long. Kate says, "Goodbye sweet lady." Then chokes up and cries. Bill shows up to comfort her. So sweet!

Carrie is leaving and says goodbye to Lucas.

Kayla is talking pro-Bo&Hope to Hope.

Hope says that it's more complicated than just wanting it. Kayla says that he didn't bring Carly and he knew Hope would be there. Nathan brings out a video they found. It's a wedding video of Alice and Tom.

Kim doesn't want to see Shane. He tells her that he needs to see her. She's angry that he hasn't contacted her because he had to save the world. He didn't know that she needed him. She needs to get this out. He explains that he never got her messages because he was in jail. Or a pen where animals are kept. He is very regretful that he wasn't there. He tells her that he only earned about the leukemia when he was debriefed just before coming home.

Rafe is explaining what he was doing away. How he used Calliope to get to Anna, that Anna was drugged and he was in jail and Anna escaped. He's very upset that he didn't find out who Anna was working with. Sami is moved. "This whole time you were gone, it was for me."

Ciara is telling Theo that the treasures that were taken from her were wallets, that maybe her mom took them back since Ciara had taken them from her to begin with and that it happened the same night Mommy was hugging that strange man. Ciara is quite the little detective. Roman should hire her on contract! Hope walks in and admonishes Ciara asking her what she's saying?

Maggie and Will are both sad that Mia left so abruptly.

Bill says that he's heading home soon and wanted to stop and talk to his mom before leaving. Kate says that she'll leave him to it then. He asks her if she wants help.

Hope tells Ciara she doesn't want her making up any more stories especially about mommy. Ciara says, "I'm not. You never believe me!" and runs to Bo.

Dr Baker has an Avenger flashback and says, "That woman is nothing but a bomb waiting to go off and her next victim is her husband." Hmmmm? Is Hope going to get sent to a looney bin? Oh please oh please!

Bo and Roman are talking about Arianna's case. Hope overhears Bo says, "Now that I'm back I'll take another look at this case." and she says, "You're not taking this case away from me!"

Shane says that he had to see Kim now and that's why he didn't go to Los Angeles. He had to see if there was a chance for them. Kim says through a waterfall of tears, "Go to Hell!"

Sami and Rafe move on to Arianna. Rafe says that he has to find out who is setting Ari up. Then he says who wouldn't want to hit E.J. and Sami says that he could have died and that she doesn't think it's funny.

Hope is upset that Bo doubts her abilities. He says that the bottom line is the case isn't solved yet.

She says, "I'm a damned good detective and you know it!" He says, "You're overreacting. There is a lot going on right now." Ciara and Doug and Julie come back into the room and Bo says goodbye to Ciara. Doug and Julie offer to take Ciara home so Hope can have some alone time. Julie asks if she's sleeping and brings up the sleeping pills. Hope hasn't been taking them since she's been staying with Alice, but says that she's very tired. I'm guessing she pops a couple tonight. Look out Bo!

Very peppy nurse walks into Mike's room, but he's not there.

Kate and Maddie. Kate asks if she got the delivery. Maddie says that everything from the box appears to be there. Kate says that she doesn't think they're done.

Sami tells Rafe that the reason they're at the mansion is because of the burst pipes. He calls her on still being there even after the pipes are fixed.

Mike is still at the hospital but he has gotten dressed in his suit. I'm guessing he's on his way out and was distracted by the memorial plaque for Alice at the hospital.

Kim is completely broken that Shane chose work over his family when he left a safe job and went back to work for the ISA. She is a mess. Patsy Pease does an excellent job here.

Rafe tells Sami that E.J. is going to hurt her and he's not going to let that happen. Then they kiss.

Days: Friday, June 25, 2010

Shane says that he was too busy saving the world and lost his family. Rafe says that he's going to fix things now.

Kayla tells Bo that he should have never given up. She says, "Carly's great. She always have been. But right now she is nothing more than a distraction for you." At least we got a bit of Carly support. I don't enjoy every one seeming to be against her. Bo says, "I love that distraction."

Jen and Bill show up to tell Mike that Alice has died.

Hope shows up at Bo's She doesn't even act excited to see Kayla or Kim. Hope asks if it's a bad time, if Carly is around. Bo says that she's at the hospital. Hope needed to see Bo before she said goodbye to Alice.

Rafe says it's not easy with Sami. She never listens. Shane says, "Lies a lot too as I remember." Heehee. Shane points out to Rafe that how Sami acts isn't his problem, that his problem is that he can't stop thinking about her.

I'm distracted by Carrie's outfit. It's black lace over green and the green is a different shade than her green necklace. It doesn't look like a very Carrie outfit. Maybe I just don't remember Carrie at all. :)

Justin and Adrian run into each other on the dock. Adrian asks him how Hope is doing. He doesn't know.

Hope wants Bo to say a few words at the funeral. She tells him that she's not okay and she doesn't think that she can make it through the day without all of her family. She means you Bo. Run and call Carly. Do it now!

Poor Mike! He's all sad and crying because he didn't get to say goodbye. Lexi isn't going to let Mike out of the hospital for the funeral today. What?!? So wrong, so very very wrong.

Kayla runs into Adrian and Justin. Big hugs all around. Kayla and Adrian talk about Stephanie. It's really great to see Mary Beth Evans and Judi Evans in the same scene again. :)

Bo didn't get the pointed look. He tells Hope that she's not alone today, that her family is around her and that includes him. Dude, she's not going to let it go at you just being there.

Adrian is trying to tell Kayla that Stephanie is more attached to Nathan than might be healthy, but doesn't actually spill the beans.

Mike is understandably upset. He's loud and angry and make Jen cry. He immediately apologizes and pulls her into a hug.

Shane is amused by Rafe's ramblings about Sami and E.J. Shane has no fond feelings toward the Dimera family.

Justin walks up to check on Hope. Caroline sees it and says, "She should be in your arms Bo. Your arms." No she shouldn't. Lay off Caroline. You're being way too judgmental and meddlesome lately.

Kate has called Sami because Giovanni is running a fever and she didn't want to do anything without talking to Sami first. Seriously! LOVING Kate!

This is a sweet service. They are going around the circle by picking up off of someone else's words. It's like they're just sitting around the living room recalling memories to each other. It's that kind of casual feel, except that they're all standing around a coffin instead.

Kate asks Sami how Giovanni is doing. Sami says that he's doing well. Then Kate asks about the service. Sami says it was beautiful. Kate asks about Lucas. Sami says that he looked good.

Flashback of Mike talking to Alice about Carrie and Austin. She suggested he become Chief of Staff to distract him from Carrie.

Kim sees Shane across the clearing for a split second at the funeral. Hope says that Alice was the woman that she hoped that she herself could be. She's crying and Ciara looks worried. Absolutely beautiful montage of Alice, some shots with Tom and some from the flashbacks we've just seen. Last line of the montage is Alice talking to the picture of Tom, "Goodbye my darling. 'Til we meet again." Hope says 'Goodbye Gran' and they pan to Ciara and she's been crying and has one tear rolling down her cheek.

Sami answers the door at the mansion and finds Rafe. :)

Each person proceeds past the coffin and lays a yellow rose on top. Bo and Ciara are the last two. Shane walks up to Kim and says, "Hey." Kim says, "Oh no. Oh no Shane you do not just sneak up on someone and say, 'Hey' " She storms off and tells Bo that she's see him at home. That leaves Bo and Hope alone.....

The end credits start with a picture and title card "In loving memory of Frances Reid"

That was an incredibly touching and very well put together tribute to Alice Horton and to Frances Reid. She will be missed.

Days: Tuesday, June 15, 2010

Dr Baker watches Brady take a sip of his drugged drink.

E.J. knows that Stefano is meddling with Rafe and Anna. He's on the phone with him now. Grrrr.

Ooo, Anna wakes up.

Repeat scene of Chloe telling Father Walton that they can't get married.

Sami is reading an article about Arianna and says that she knows Rafe doesn't want anything to do with her, but that Ari is his sister and she needs help. The living room at the Dimera mansion is completely littered with brightly colored (I'm assuming foam) blocks that are supposed to be Sydney's and Giovanni's however there are a few of them on the top of the piano. Neither of the kids would have put them up there unless E.J. sets Sydney up there while he plays or something. :) Does E.J. play the piano? Hhhmmm?

Rafe struggles with the assassin guard and gets knocked out.

Anna struggles to get out of bed. After all the time she's been in the hospital he toes are still perfectly manicured. :D

Brady is feeling the effects of whatever drugs they put in his drink. One of the poker guys (the one getting paid for the day :D ) asks him if he's got some kind of problem. Brady says, He's got to go and leaves.

Sami just got a call from Lucas about Alice. She is distracted and falling apart and E.J. is being level headed and takes her to see Alice.

Chloe asks to speak to Daniel alone. Carly takes everyone outside. Mel asks Philip and Carly if they have any idea what just happened. Cut to Daniel and Chloe he asks her the same question. She tells him that he'll understand once she explains it all.

Anna is dressed and ready to go (if she weren't so dizzy) but jumps back into bed and covers up when she hears someone coming. I'm thinking it's Dr Carlos. :D

Rafe fakes out the guard and sucker punches him to gain the upper hand and then knows him out.

Philip says that he doesn't know why Mel thinks Carly knows something about Chloe. Mel points out Chloe's 180 to cancel the wedding. Carly says that she's just concerned for her patient and that they should go somewhere private to talk. Philip says, "No!" and Mel says, "What's up with you lately?"

Father Matt goes back into Chloe's room and she asks to have confession and receive absolution before she and Daniel start their new life together.

Brady wanders to the docks and passes out while Dr Baker watches.

We don't see who it was in Anna's room. They leave and she starts to get out of bed again.

The second guard brings Shane back and, seeing his the other guy out cold, holds a gun on Rafe.

Rafe takes out the other guard while he's distracted trying to find out who fake Bureau guy is. Shane and Rafe walk out of the cell and make funny small talk before leaving.

Mel and Carly are at the Pub. Mel wants to know why they had to come all the way there to talk. Carly says that she didn't want to talk in the first place but that she knew Mel wouldn't drop it. Heehee. Mel asks Carly if she thinks that Chloe will hurt Daniel. Carly says that she knows how much Daniel loves her and that Chloe has to potential to hurt him being the kind of person that she is. Mel, very much her mother's child, asks "What kind of person is Chloe?"

Dr Baker pours a bit of scotch in Brady's mouth while he's passed out. So that if he does remember what happened that no one will believe him.

Jen asks Sami about the kids. Sami mentions that Ali is living with Lucas in Asia. But wasn't she only supposed to be there for 2 weeks? I'm so confused. Sami then tells Jen about Rafe.

Daniel tells Nathan that he and Chloe are getting married today. Nathan is unsure. Philip remembers the phone conversation he had with Chloe about Nathan knowing.

Chloe asks Father Matt to talk to Carly and tell her that what she's doing is wrong and will ruin several lives. He tells her that she knows he can't do that.

Carly is checking in with the nurses station just like she promised Philip that she'd do so that they don't miss the wedding. She tells Mel that Father Matt is still in with Chloe. Carly says that she wishes Daniel wasn't rushing it. Mel says that sometimes rushing is a good thing. She says that she still had feelings for someone else when she married Philip and that after the wedding things have been great.. Carly looks contemplative at this news.

Father Matt agrees with Carly that Chloe needs to tell Daniel, and that Philip needs to be honest with Melanie. He reminds her that marriage is a sacrament that cannot be based on a lie. He leaves the room and when Daniel asks he says that he can't perform the wedding.

Sami has an Alice flashback. Aawww a very young Alison Sweeney. That's when Sami was evil. Hehehehe. :)

Jen's parents! :) Bill Horton and Laura Spencer. (Not THAT Laura Spencer. :) )

Carly is very nervous. She's playing with her phone. She tells Mel that she hopes that she knows that she can rely on her. Mel: "Kind of like a mom?" Carly: "Kind of like a mom." Aaawwww!!!!!!

Sami tells E.J. that she wants to stay at the mansion even though her apartment is now fixed.

Rafe makes it back to Anna's room only to find it empty.

Days: Monday, June 14, 2010

Mel got flowers for Chloe for the wedding. That's sweet. She's so like her mom. :)

Chloe is wearing a white hoodie sweatshirt instead of or over her hospital gown. :) She tells Carly to stop threatening her and to just let her one little mistake go.

Poker Guy tells Brady the money clip he saw was at a back room poker game. Brady asks who had it.

Rafe and Shane are planning escape using the swiped intel and schematics.

Dr Baker and Nicole are doing the back and forth blame game in the open on the docks fairly loudly citing what parts they played in setting up Arianna. These are the brilliant criminal masterminds people! Ha!

Mel got Daniel a wedding present it's a necklace with a medallion of the patron saint of marriage. Daniel tells her that she tries to hide it but that she's a very sweet girl. She says that she just knows that he said he didn't know if he would make it if he lost the love of his life again and that it was her way of saying that she hopes that no one takes Chloe from him. Such a sweet sweet scene! Shawn and Molly are perfect here!

Chloe tells Carly she's a hypocrite for lying to Daniel for 20 years and then trying to force Chloe to tell him about her "one mistake".

Mel tells Daniel that she thinks she may have freaked out about Chloe because she just found him and didn't want to share him.

Carly tells Chloe that she's not trying to be evil and that Chloe's in the hospital because she saved her life. Chloe has a flash of guilt knowing that Carly's life wouldn't have been in danger in the first place if it weren't for her and says that Carly saved her life in the O.R. so they're even. Carly suggests that Chloe postpone the wedding until she's out of the hospital in order to give herself time to think. Carly says that she knows and can see how much Daniel loves Chloe. Chloe asks if she can see how much she loves him, that she made the mistake because she thought that she'd lost Daniel to Carly. Carly says that she'll never understand how Chloe got that impression. Then she gets all soft voiced and compassionate, and says "Tell him. It'll be okay." Then she gives her this (I wish I could make this easier for you) look and gets up and leaves the room. Seriously with concern like that how can anyone in Salem NOT be head-over-heels a fan of Carly? Vivian comes in right after Carly leaves and asks Chloe what happened. Vivian tries to make it sound like Chloe is talking crazy about 'a little plan'.

The guards have come to 'kill' Shane. Rafe is all protective, "why do you want to kill him?" Ha. This is the funniest political prisoner jail that I've ever seen. "We want to interrogate him, and if he's uncooperative the he's as good as dead." Rafe: "Look at this guy. He's very cooperative." Ha!

Vivian thinks that she's clever for figuring out that Nicole is still in love with Brady. Um, Viv babe, the entire TOWN knows that. :)

Brady shows up at the 'floating' poker game that's always in the same room." Dr Baker shows up right after him but hasn't gone in yet.

A guard shows up to let Rafe out. Hmmm. I smell a rat.

Philip shows up in Chloe's room early for the wedding. Chloe contemplates telling Daniel once again. Philip jumps in with the 'no no no no no no no'. Okay, bored now, again.

Dr Baker recognizes Brady and doesn't go into the game. Surprised? Nah, me neither.

Daniel, Mel and Father Walton (Father Matt) show up at Chloe's room.

Stefano checks in with one of his men who has a man on the inside as one of Rafe and Shane's guards. I'm guessing it's the guy pretending to be sent by the bureau who now is ready to strangle Rafe.

Dr Baker has Brady's drink drugged by one of the guys at the poker game. Sami is talking to dream Rafe and he's telling her that there is no more 'them' while she's clinging to hope.

Rafe was actually out of it enough to believe the fake guard and let his guard down enough to be surprised from behind.

Chloe and Daniel are about to have the ceremony. Mel gives her the flowers and it's cute, then Father Walton attempts to begin the service when Carly walks in. She doesn't say anything, but Chloe looks at her and tells the room that they can't get married.

Days: Tuesday, June 8, 2010

Okay. Rafe and Shane fighting and the guard comes to stop it and Rafe 'accidentally' punches him while 'aiming' for Shane.

Philip's guilt is causing him to have nightmares.

At the last minute Chloe has second thoughts and tries to pull Carly from the elevator.

Chloe gets stuck in the elevator and screams as lights flash and alarms sound. Daniel hears the scream and heads up the stairs.

Uh oh, Maggie's worried about Alice. :(

Victor and Vivian on at their hotel. He's on to her and knows that she's up to something. Cut to Chloe lying unconscious and bloody on the floor under the elevator. I guess she's in the basement?

Aw, Shane and Rafe are busted.

Daniel finds Chloe She's still out.

Vivian won't tell Victor what's up so he threatens her again that nothing better happen to Carly.

The guard that Rafe knocked out looks all dejected and sad. Hehehe.

Victor is reminding Vivian of their agreement regarding Carly. Vivian brings up Maggie and Victor goes to the bar to have a drink.

Lexi is going to work on Chloe with Carly assisting. Interesting turn of events :)

Mel just got a call from Daniel about Chloe.

Rafe is returned to the cell after receiving his 'punishment'. They bring Shane back in too. So their plan all along was to get caught so that they could get information? Soooo confused.

Brady explains what happened with D.A. Woods and the check. She apologizes for doubting him. He decides to come clean and tell her about being with Nicole when Gabi found him.

Vivian is calling the hospital to check up on Carly and finds out that Chloe was the one in the elevator. Carly's in scrubs!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) She just told Mel and Philip that she was supposed to be in the elevator and that Chloe saved her life.

Sami and E.J. kissing. Rafe needs to stay far away from her when he comes back. She doesn't deserve him.

Oooooooo. Carly is telling Mel and Philip what happened. That she and Chloe were arguing and that she was on the elevator when Chloe stopped her and that they had a struggle and then Chloe ended up in the elevator and then it fell. Mel says, "Wait a minute. Why was Chloe here so late? What were you two arguing about?" Keep in mind that Carly has only been telling Mel that she thinks Chloe and Daniel should get married and that Chloe makes Daniel happy. Mel has no idea that Carly has any doubts whatsoever about Chloe.

Daniel is sitting by Chloe's bed holding her hand. He still has (very reddish pink) blood on his hand. Um, someone should have made him clean up or at least the blood should be the color of dried blood, not Calliope's lipstick. :D Chloe is coming too and says, "Daniel? I'm sorry."

Rafe and Shane's recon mission yielded info on where the guard towers are. Woo!

Sami stops the E.J. kiss. I think she regrets it. Heehee.

Days: Monday, June 7, 2010

Aaaw, little Giovanni misses Rafe and won't take off his tiny FBI jacket.

Rafe and Shane are bored and locked in a cell. I missed Shane. I didn't realize that until now. Charles is awesome! :)

E.J. is apologizing to Arianna that she has to stay another night in jail. She jokes that at least it's an upgrade from 'Statesville' because she's got a single bed cell.

Lexi is at the hospital and comes upon Carly contemplating (yet again) telling Daniel.

Chloe calls Vivian's guy. He's got everything in place and tells her he'll text her when it's ready and she just has to get Carly on the the elevator then. Hmmm? She's very reluctant to to it.

Lexi offers to stay on shift for Carly so that Carly can take care of whatever she needs to do in person. She's still debating whether she should be the one to tell Daniel. Aaaaaaand Chloe is still debating whether she wants to go ahead with Vivian's plan. Lots of indecision going on here.

Oooo Arianna! At least we know what she wants. She wants out of jail and for Brady to have believed her. :D E.J. is apprehensive of having to trust Nicole to do the right thing. Arianna is giving reasons that Nicole won't back out, E.J. is giving reasons why she would. I can't like E.J. it goes against everything that I've felt about him so far. His being nice to Arianna is making that difficult. :D

Nicole is so manipulating Brady. That's nothing new. :)

Chloe is talking to the voices in her head. She decides for the moment to try and call off Vivian's guy.

Okay, Shane and Rafe are REALLY bored. Shane is musing that his very expensive watch (so expensive that it has a name I can't remember or pronounce) which the guards took was probably sold for 50 pesos.

E.J. is home Sydney has gotten so big! Giovanni is ignoring E.J. he's drawing a picture of the family. Sami tells him he'll have to add Will and Ali and he says, "And Rafe" Sami is unsure about that.

Carly decides not to go tell Daniel so she lets Lexi leave.

Chloe can't get through to Vivian's guy so she calls Vivian and starts to leave a voice mail. Chloe is about to bolt to stop Carly from getting on the elevator and when she opens the door she runs into Daniel.

Um the pillow case on Shane's bunk looks like it's sateen or some kind of shiny cotton. How'd they end up in a luxury jail for political prisoners? I don't think Rafe and Shane would be treated as nicely by the CIA here. lol

Sami is telling E.J. what a good guy he is when they hear Giovanni scream and they rush off to investigate.

Nicole is putting doubts into Brady's mind as to the date he wrote the check. Um, does he not have a duplicate checkbook? D.A.Woods overhears Nicole telling Brady "We can lie to the police." Good times. ::eyeroll:

Okay, Giovanni ran down the stairs and fell. Now he may have a concussion but he's okay. E.J. is consoling Sami.

Nicole tells D.A. Woods that he shouldn't have been listening in on a private conversation (at the Brady pub fyi) because it's a free country. He laughs and tells her that next time she's thinking about committing perjury to stay home and whisper. Ha! Love it!. He then tells Brady that what he heard is enough to taint the testimony and that now Arianna doesn't have an alibi. Nice work Nicole.

Daniel hears Carly's voice mail to call her. Chloe steps off the elevator at the hospital on her way to keep Carly from dying. She tells Carly that she has to talk to her right now.

D.A. Woods goes to see Arianna and tells her that her alibi is shot. Um, being a victim should he even bee allowed to see her (the suspect) in private, D.A. or not?

Carly leads Chloe to the lounge/waiting room (wow a private place to have a conversation in Salem?!?) and they continue the discussion from earlier. Carly says, "What happened? It sounded like you threw it (her cell phone) across the room." Heehee. :) 'Cause that's what happened. Then they continue Carly finally getting out "If you don't tell Daniel the truth before you get married then you'll regret it." Chloe pauses and seems to ponder this. Meanwhile Daniel is wondering why Carly isn't answering her phone. ....Oh no! Bad thought. What if Daniel is on the elevator heading to look for Carly when Vivian's guy does his thing? Hhhmmmm? Can't wait to see if that happens. Oh, Chloe didn't have a moment of clarity she's upset at Carly for trying to run her life. Chloe brings up the 'crazy' again. Carly is trying to say that that's not what she's saying. Chloe says, "What if I really am crazy you should be careful. Don't mess with the crazy woman." Carly says, "Are you threatening me? Don't! This conversation is over." Wow she's just lost the sympathy that she had for Chloe's plight. She walks away and Chloe follows her. She's getting ready to get on the elevator and Chloe stops her asking her to promise to not tell Daniel. Carly doesn't promise and Chloe goes back to contemplating letting Vivian's plan happen.

Shane and Rafe are fighting to create a distraction for the guards. Hehe.

Carly is trying to figure out why Chloe is thinking these things. Chloe says that Carly's done this before convinced people that someone is crazy to get them out of the way. Chloe gets the signal and lets Carly wait for the elevator.

Days: Friday, May 28, 2010

We open with Maggie telling Victor to run away. He has a thought and looks at Maggie "What s ride it could be." Aawww. He wants Maggie to go with him. Maggie: "You could do a world of good for the people of Greece." Aaawww, I really like this Maggie Victor dynamic.

Nicole and Kate are in the garden. They have giant martini glasses! :)

Maggie comes into the foyer where Carly and Melanie and Chloe are waiting. Mel and Chloe and Maggie are trying to figure out why Victor is doing it. Carly is silent.

Bo tells the guys that Victor is marrying Vivian because of something he put into motion, but he doesn't tell them what it is.

Maggie has a plan. She's worried that this is only Phase 1 for Vivian and that she's wanting to isolate Victor from his family. Maggie wants everyone to stay close and put the pressure of their presence on Vivian.

Bo tells the guys that he made Victor responsible for 'containing' Vivian, and he feels that it's his fault so he needs to stay. Daniel wants to know how he and Philip will handle Vivian's trying to kill Mel after she and Victor are married.

Victor is determined to hold up his end of the bargain, and hold her to her end.

Hey, it's Rafe! He's going to get a roomie in his prison cell. The guard says he's an assassin.

Carly wants the guys to listen to Maggie's plan. It is a good plan.

Kate is trying to smooth things out for Victor with Philip. He's ready to leave, but Mel steps out to talk to him about that.

Victor comes into the foyer and thinks everyone has left.

Mel wants Philip to talk to Maggie before he decides anything because "Maggie explains it better than I do."

Bo wants to talk to Mel. He thanks her for everything she's doing for his brother and everything. Mel: "You've just saying that cause you want to get it good with my mom." Awww.

Ciara wants to put her gold star from school in her treasure box, right away. Hope says they have to stop off at Victor's anyway.

Victor walks into the den and sees everyone still there. Awww.

Vivian is wearing black and red not the veil that Maggie was looking at earlier. What happened?

The wedding officiate gets to "Speak now or forever hold your peace." and all of the guests are making faces and covering their mouths. Carly asks Bo if he's sure he doesn't want to stop this. He says the ball is in Victor's court.

Rafe's roomie arrives. He's been beaten and is passed out. Rafe is tentative, but approaches the new guy. He pulls the hood off the new guy's head and says, "Oh my God, it's you." The camera pans down and it looks like it's Shane (Donovan)! Woohoo!!!!!

Victor has something to say. Vivian says, "You can't object at your own wedding." Victor says, "Says who?" Heehee. Victor is thanking everyone for coming and staying and that they all probably think he's crazy. Kate: "He wrote his own vows. How sweet." Victor: "You probably all want an explanation for what I'm doing. Well you don't always get what you want."

Whoa!!! Shane is off, he wakes up and attacks Rafe.

Victor to wedding officiate, "Vivian, this one is Vivian." Hehehehe. Kate, Nicole and Carly are all remembering their own wedding to Victor. Vivian is remembering her first wedding to him also. Victor is so going half-assed through the ceremony. Victor walks off "I need a drink." Ha!

Rafe finally gets Shane off of him and starts explaining who he is and that he knows who Shane is. He has to bring up Sami to make Shane stop and listen.

Kate to Victor: "All the scotch in the world isn't going to make you forget what you just did."

Victor to Bo: "Are you happy now?"
Bo: "No"
Victor: "Neither am I."
Bo: "I didn't want you to marry her, I wanted you to out her in jail.."
Victor: "You don't want Vivian in jail for the sake of justice. You want her in jail for Carly."
Bo:"So?"
Victor: "So if my wife. God it pains me to say that. If my wife belongs in jail, so does your precious Carly."
Carly overhears that. I'm guessing Bo didn't let her in on that little piece of why he was putting the pressure on dear old Dad.

Carly is still listening from across the room. Bo says that it isn't Carly's fault. Victor says that all the misery started when she came back. Bo says, "Acutally I recall being pretty miserable before that." Hehe. Yep, yep you were.

Mel overhears Daniel say that he and Chloe are getting married as soon as possible. Mel is not happy. Nicole wants Carly, Kate, Nicole and Vivian to take a photo together to have all of the Mrs Kiriaki past and present. Heehee.

Shane is having Rafe tell him as much as he can to prove he is who he says he is. Rafe mentions Kimberly, but can't name her and Shane's kids "Sami's family tree has a lot of branches." Heehee. Shane is surprised that Sami Brady had ANOTHER Dimera child. Hehehe. Shane tells Rafe that he's worse off for being associated with Shane.

Victor tells Maggie that he thought halfway through the ceremony that they would be at the airport right then.
Maggie chastises Victor for going against everyone and making a deliberate effort to make Vivian miserable and hurt her feelings. Victor says Vivian doesn't have any feelings. Maggie calls Vivian and idoit. "You'd have to be an idiot to marry you." Ouch Maggie. :)

Shane is talking about what he was doing and how he got caught. The ISA has 'disowned' him after he got caught as standard operating procedure. Shane and Rafe both want to get out. They have a deal to help each other get out.

Daniel announces to the peeps at Victor's that he and Chloe are getting married right away too. Mel is not happy and downs the last of her champagne. Carly gives Chloe the "Tell Him" look.

Bo smells something wrong with Daniel's announcement. Carly tries to cover for Chloe.

Oh, Hope and Ciara just got to Victor's. Vivian is throwing the bouquet. Carly catches it just as Hope walks in. Ha!
