Based on Wednesday's show, it looks like EJ is giving full custody of the kids to Samantha. Sami goes off half-cocked like usual shredding papers (sorry, I cannot believe that EJ took the time to staple them to that legal-looking blue backing before he finished drawing up the papers) before she even looked at them.
Is EJ turning a corner? Is this TPTB's way of trying to redeem EJ? Or is EJ planning to run for political office and he needs to show something on the "reasons to vote for EJ" column?

I think there is some ulterior motive. EJ never does things out of the goodness of his heart. Ever.

EJ doesn't have a heart.Not even when it comes to his kids.If he did,he wouldn't have pulled half the garbage he has,if only for the sake of his children.So yeah,I'm sure there's an ulterior motive.It may be buried right now under the guise of doing the right thing for his kids,but EJ has no idea how to do the right thing,unless it's the right thing for himself.So Sami going off "half cocked"?I don't think so.She knows EJ probably better than anyone,so I'm not surprised she was ripping up papers like that.She just knows if EJ is doing something good,then there's something self serving behind it.How many times has he given up the kids only to come back and try to pull out the rug from under her?

I'm sure part of this is to impress Taylor so maybe she will take him back...

Absolutely there is an ulterior motive behind him giving the kids to Sami. He's trying to impress Taylor and show her his good kind-hearted ways (hence him saying that he would prove her wrong in that she could never look at him the same way again). Sami will fall into a comfort zone and then either one of two things will happen. EJ will get Taylor and immediately turn around and claim that he now has a stable household and wants to take the children back or he won't get Taylor, will get mad that he signed over custody, throw his little temper tantrum, and then look for any and every loophole to get them back. Probably claiming that he did it under duress b/c of the police force coming at him with guns loaded.
If I was Sami, I would have ripped up all the paper as well. EJ has maniuplated the system so many times that I don't blame her for doing anything that could be done to delay him taking the kids and ripping up all of his "hard work legal" papers at that moment would be a start.

I absolutely agree with mae.EJ has cheated the system so many times I can't blame Sami for thinking the worst and doing something about it,no matter how irrational she may have seemed.To me,when dealing with EJ there's no such thing as irrational,but there is such a thing as covering your own butt and doing everything you can to try and make sure he doesn't cheat again,I think that's where Sami is at this point.She can't believe in,or trust in anything he does.

As much as I hate to admit it, I'm pretty sure EJ is working some kind of angle. It's probably not something super sinister, but it is most likey very self-serving. Other than looking better to Taylor though (barf!), what does he have to gain by giving Sami custody?

Why would Sami ever go over to the mansion alone like that. How does she know there isn't a Sami2 in the basement waiting to take her place?

That would be a perfect way for the writers to turn around some of the changed characters. Maybe there's a melaswen in the tunnels. |

It'd be interesting, LOL
I was actually angry at Sami. Same old half cocked big mouth attitude that gets her into trouble. She went there alone to rant and rave...
Seriously, it's tiresome.
I'm glad that EJ saw the light at the end of the tunnel regarding his children. I do think that EJ sees the damage he's done and that he genuinely doesn't want to be low in front of his kids. I think this is an olive branch, and he sees that Sami will be civil (despite how he wasn't).

I think at this point in time, EJ means what he says....I think he is devastated and quite surprised at Johnny's reaction to him....he would never have believed before that Johnny would not think he hung the moon, after all, he believes that he himself does hang the moon and was quite taken aback when his child did not......
So anyway, I think he's so devastated about Johnny's reaction to him, he is doing this because he is looking at himself with a little honesty....it won't last, he will get over the initial shock and be the old EJ again and soon......
By the way, just watched today's show, Thursday, and I think he may be having a stroke.....wonder if Stefano will put him in the basement and put out a little robot EJ to stay in line.......
