I hope what Eric said helps Jade. And that she doesn't make Nicole think Eric broke her confidence by asking about what he said.

I am eager for the results of Ciara's scan. And for her reaction to Trix's news.

Great chapter André DiMera.

[tghca]

Jade is a lot like her sister Nicole...Eric giving advice to her makes sense since they are friends but Eric is nonjudgmental and objective because Claire is his niece and his cousin his sister Belle's daughter and his cousin Shawn's daughter but Joey is Eric's cousin too so him being objective doesn't surprise me

[Kpatch]

I hope Eric's words to Jade sink in.

Chapter 686

RENAISSANCE LONDON HEATHROW HOTEL - ENGLAND
Cassie, Roman and Kate sat in the hotel room.
CASSIE: So, not that I’m not loving taking in the sights of England, mostly around the airport, but when can we go home? To be honest, I kind of miss Salem, and Rex.
ROMAN: I know what you mean. Hopefully, this will all be cleared up soon and we should be able to.
KATE: Whatever happens, as soon as we get back, we’ve got to find some way to get Rex out of André DiMera’s clutches.
John and Steve, who were sharing the adjoining room, walked in.
STEVE: Well, we’ve got some news about that. Not about Rex, unfortunately, He’s gonna be a bit harder to get ahold of than we thought.
JOHN: We do have some news on the other bit, though. Congratulations, kid, you’re going home.

SALEM UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
CIARA: Really?
TRIX: Yeah. I overheard him and Aunt Vivian talking while I was unpacking my things to stay over the Easter holiday. Wasn’t trying to listen in or anything, just happened to overhear. Granddad was saying something about having to take care of his little indiscretion, and how nobody can ever know about this, but Aunt Vivian convinced him to at least let my Dad know.
CIARA: Wow! So, how are you doing with all this?
Trix shrugged.
TRIX: Dunno, really. I’ve always kind of wondered what it’d be like to have an aunt. I mean, I know my Dad’s got a sister, but I barely even know my Aunt Mel. More than anything, I guess I’m just a bit confused.
CIARA: Yeah, that makes sense.
Trix sat down on the bed next to Ciara. She put her head on Ciara’s shoulder, and Ciara kissed the top of her head.
CIARA: You know I’m here for you for whatever you need, right?
TRIX: Yeah, of course. Always.
CIARA: Good.
After a moment, there came a knock at the door. Ciara and Trix sat up as Lily and Hope walked in.
CIARA: Mom.
HOPE: Hi, honey, Trix.
TRIX: Hey.
LILY: Well, Ciara, I have the results of your scans back. Before I continue, did you want me to give them to you privately?
CIARA: No, that’s okay. Whatever happens, I want my Mom and Trix to know about.
LILY; All right, I just had to make sure.
Lily typed something into her tablet, then put it on the desk so Ciara, Hope and Trix could see it.
LILY: This is the scan that Dr. Banning took of your leg the night you were brought in. As you can see, the nerve in your leg which controls movement is out of place.
CIARA: Right, we all know that.
Lily swiped right.
LILY: This is the scan I took this afternoon. Now, I know it looks incredibly similar, but take a good look at that nerve.
Lily zoomed in on the nerve she was referring to.
CIARA: What does this mean?
LILY: It means that the nerve is finally making its way back to its proper place. I suspected this from how well you’ve been doing in therapy lately, and when you mentioned feeling a strange potential sensation, I had to make sure. The nerve is healing.
CIARA: So...will I be able to walk normally again soon?

[heroicmuse]

Yay! I'm glad that CIara's nerve is healing. I hope she doesn't have any psychological blocks against getting better.

I'm also glad she and Trix talked and am looking forward to Trix meeting Greta.

So Cassie's going home. I hope she's not in any danger and also hope it won't be as hard as they think to un-brainwash Rex.

Great chapter André DiMera. Will there be previews?

[tghca]

I'm sure they can deprogram Rex but it probably won't be easy at first but I'm sure they can get through to him

With Ciara I'm sure she will be able to walk again...only a matter of time

But as for Trix meeting her other aunt, her dad Nicholas' other sister Greta...I wonder if Greta will be able to have a relationship with her niece? Or if Trix will embrace Greta as her aunt?

[Kpatch]

So glad Ciara is on the mend!

Also excited to see Cassie go home. I wonder if she and Nicholas might form a relationship for real.

[mae00]

So glad that Ciara's recovery is heading in the right direction!

I wonder how Rex will react when he sees Cassie and she starts telling him the truth.

[André DiMera]

Thanks for reading and commenting, everyone!

---

Next week...

Lily finishes giving Ciara her results.
CIARA: Does this mean I’ll be able to walk normally again?

Meanwhile, Sami looks into who’s calling her.
SAMI: What do you mean?

Plus, Cassie comes home!
BELLE: It’s so good to see you!

And Jade gets a surprise.
JADE: What?

All this and more next week on THE MELASWEN PARADOX!

[heroicmuse]

I hope Ciara will be able to walk again soon!

I want to know who is calling Sami.

Welcome home Cassie! I have a feeling not everyone will be as welcoming as Belle.

I wonder what Jade's surprise is.

Thanks for the great previews André DiMera!

Chapter 687

RENAISSANCE LONDON HEATHROW HOTEL - ENGLAND
John had stepped out of the room for a minute.
CASSIE: Really? When?
STEVE: Soon as possible. Start packing your bags, folks, ‘cause you’re getting a one way ticket back to Salem.
ROMAN: You sure this is safe?
STEVE: Safe as it can be. You’ll still have to be protected from Vivian, but we’re looking into that.
CASSIE: This is great! I can’t wait to be home! I just hope once I am, you guys are able to save Rex and get him back to normal.

SALEM UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
LILY: It means that you’ll be able to walk without a walker soon. Actually, I’d like to try you out walking with a cane during our session tomorrow.
HOPE: Well, that’s good news, isn’t it?
LILY: It is. And I’d like to keep a close eye on your leg over the next few weeks. It’s healing better than even I thought it would.
CIARA: So that’s a no on being able to walk normally.
LILY: It’s a no for the moment. But changing from the walker to the cane is a big step.
CIARA: Oh.
LILY: Don’t worry, if you do as well with the cane as you’ve done with the walker, you’ll be able to walk without assistance before you know it.
CIARA: Gotcha.
HOPE: Thank you, Lily.
LILY: Of course. Do any of you have any other questions at the moment?
CIARA: Nope, I think I’m good.
LILY: All right. Well, then, I will see you tomorrow. Have a good night, Ciara.
CIARA: Thanks.

SAMI & LUCAS’ APARTMENT
Sami was pacing the room, talking on her phone.
SAMI: ...I wouldn’t ask if it wasn’t serious. Look, I don’t care when it is, I just need to see you, I need to talk to you A.S.A.P., a phrase which I never thought I’d say until now. When? Tomorrow? Great. Let me know. Bye.
Lucas walked into the room just as Sami was finishing her call. She put the phone down.
LUCAS: Hey.
SAMI: Hey, how was your day?
LUCAS: Not bad, thanks. Everything okay?
SAMI: Yeah...
LUCAS: Which means everything is definitely not okay. Out with it, Sami, what’s going on?
Sami sighed.
SAMI: I keep getting these stupid phone calls.
LUCAS: From who?
SAMI: No idea. Whoever it is won’t say who they are or what they want. They just breathe really heavily until I hang up on them.
LUCAS: Sounds like a prank caller to me.
SAMI: That’s what I thought, at first, too. Except it keeps happening. Like, at least three times or more a day for the last few weeks.
LUCAS: So definitely not a prank caller. You got any idea who it might be?
SAMI: Nope. At first I thought it might be André, since he’s still on the loose, and he’s carried on Stefano’s crazy obsession with my family, but that seems kind of small for him.
LUCAS: True.
SAMI: So, I’ve decided to do the mature thing for once and I’m having it looked into.

[heroicmuse]

I am shocked that Sami is doing the mature thing! Good for her.

I hope Ciara doesnt get discouraged. This is good progress.

I also hope Salem is as safe for Cassie as it sounds.

Great chapter André DiMera.

[tghca]

I mean if Sami is looking into this then I wonder who she went to for help?

Cassie...with her returning to Salem I wonder if that is wise given her twin brother Rex is still being brainwashed

Ciara is at least making some progress even if it is little by little

[mae00]

Sami and mature and her actually being the mature one in the same sentence?? Boy I never thought I'd see/hear that!

YAY!!! Going from a walker to a cane is a HUGE step in the right direction. I know Ciara wanted to be unassisted quicker, but like my therapist told me after knee surgery - she's having to learn how to walk all over again. Things are different now and due to her using her other leg to compensate for this one, that's what she's used to. they've got to break that habit. Even once she's unassisted, she will still need some therapy to get back to walking correctly.

[Kpatch]

I think Sami is getting telemarketer calls. I get a bunch every day too. LOL.

Looking forward to Cassie's homecoming.
