No Remorse (Read 130 times)

[Deleted]

Marlena runs into Sami at the Pub. She informs Sami that she knows about the acceptance of Gabi's plea deal. This elicits a defensive response from Sami, who questions if Marlena believes that she should be joining Gabi behind bars. Mommy dearest throws the same question back at her demon spawn.  Marlena kindly recounts how Nick was thrown into the river and wants to know if Sami thinks she deserves a pat on the back for her efforts. Sami says no praise is necessary because after all.....she failed. Who knew that a dead man would be such a good swimmer?

Despite Marlena's disgust, Sami says that she doesn't feel that she is deserving of jail time and that she has no remorse. Her only regret is that Percy was able to pluck the psycho from the water before he drowned. Marlena maintains that Nick didn't deserve to die. She replays the message Nick left on the night of his shooting and urges Sami to at least recognize Nick's desire to change. She wants Sami to acknowledge her mistakes, but Sami promptly replies with a big fat "No Way!".
Nick is dead for good this time and for that.... she is glad!

Later, Hope meets with Marlena at the Pub and is still feeling guilty for letting Nick down. Marlena tries to comfort Hope, telling her that second guessing oneself after a tragedy is normal but also counter-productive. She remarks that only the people who don't have regret should be reason for concern.

I hate how smug Sami is. Wouldn't you love for Marlena to find out that Sami was involved in putting a hit on Nick?

Thanks for the great recaps @dukeblue!

Sami has totally stepped over the line into Dimera land. What an amoral person she is.

Marlena continues to act so shocked about Sami's attitude towards things and I don't know why.

Sami should be smart and just tell her mother that she feels terrible. I'd like Marlena to find out about the hitman as well.

Does Marlena know that Will shot EJ?

Marlena needs to get off her high horse....she's far from perfect herself. AND she should know her daughter well enough by now to know what to expect from her.

I actually liked it when Sami didn't whine for approval from her mother. Not that I'm condoning murder and I'll admit that Marlena has a point. Nick was looking for a second chance to redeem himself but Sami's right too. Nick had several second chances and blew them all. He almost got her son killed and was trying to steal her granddaughter. As a mother, I can't say I'd kill him but I'd certainly want him dead.

I wish Marlena would have pointed out how that Sami had way more chances than Nick ever got.

I don't like Sami's callous attitude and how judgmental she is about everyone else. However, at the time Nick was thrown in the river, he was not in the middle of seeking help or looking to change his ways. So Sami's actions at that time are horrible, but not as egregious as hiring a hitman. Plus, we know Sami did have that attack of conscience when Allie called Nick her favorite cousin, even if Marlena doesn't know that. So a bit of that indignation from Marlena falls a bit short for me. Or maybe part of it is that I've never been a big fan of Marlena. But, I do want to see the hitman plot exposed, to see more fallout for Sami.

If I had a daughter who had been involved in as many shootings as Sami has, showing remorse might not be at the top of my list of things I'd be talking to her about.

This is just another reason why it's probably good I never had kids...what if I'd given birth to a Sami Brady???
