Oh great. EJ knows about the baby. I was hoping they could enjoy baby Georgia just a little bit longer without EJ's nonsense.

Good for Cassie!!! She said everything I had hoped she would and then some! I'm sure they aren't completely over, but she's setting boundaries for what she expects from him and that's a good thing. I wanted to pop Nicholas myself when he started saying "Don't make it bigger than it is" and telling he what she did or didn't want. She's a person with feelings and a mind of her own. She doesn't need Nicholas to tell her how to feel.

[heroicmuse]

Ugh I hate that EJ found out about the baby.

I don't blame Cassie one bit for breaking up with Nicholas. Glad Rex is there for her.

What is Andre planning?

Great chapter André DiMera

[Kpatch]

Instead of being angry with Sydney, EJ should ask himself why she may have lied to him.

Friday - 4/26

ALAMAIN INDUSTRIES
After taking a long drive, Nicholas made his way to the office. It had started to rain. As he stood in the elevator, he thought about Cassie, how his actions, or rather lack thereof, had led to the end of their relationship. At last, he got to the top floor. The office was mostly empty. It was a Friday, and earlier in the week, Nicholas had told everyone that they could go home early that Friday. He was only coming to the office to distract himself. As he approached his office, he was surprised to find that the door was slightly ajar.
NICHOLAS (thinking): Odd. Perhaps that new assistant forgot to close it when she left.
He soon found that he was wrong. He walked into his office and turned the lights on. His chair was facing the window, and he could tell somebody was in it.
NICHOLAS: Hello?
The chair swung around to reveal that its occupant was Kate.
KATE: Hello, Nicholas.
NICHOLAS: Kate? Well, it’s lovely to see you, of course, but-
KATE: I wouldn’t be too excited to see me if I were you. My visit will not be a pleasant one, I can promise you that.
She gestured to the chair across the desk from her.
KATE: Sit.
NICHOLAS: This is my office.
KATE: Sit down now.
From the cold tone in her voice, and the look on her face, Nicholas could tell that Kate was being serious. He sat down.
KATE: You made a big mistake, Nicholas. A very big mistake.

DIMERA MANSION
E.J. sat in the living room, reading the paper. Harold walked in, followed by Sydney.
HAROLD: Miss Sydney to see you, sir.
E.J.: That’ll be all, Harold, thank you.
Harold bowed and left the room. E.J. put down the paper.
SYDNEY: Hi, Daddy.
E.J.: Take a seat, Sydney. We need to have a discussion.
Sydney sat down across from E.J.
SYDNEY: About what?
E.J.: About lying. About lying to your parents. About how lying to your parents is a very bad idea.
SYDNEY: I know it is. I wouldn’t lie to you or Mom.
E.J.: And yet, you just did.
SYDNEY: Daddy, what are you talking about?
E.J.: Drop the act, Sydney. I know.
SYDNEY: Know what?
E.J.: I know that Johnny and Meadow’s baby was born. I found an invitation to a christening. And as the baby is old enough to be christened, that means it was born weeks ago.
SYDNEY: I didn’t lie about anything, I swear.
E.J.: Yes you did! I specifically instructed you to tell me when the baby was born, and you didn’t. You told me the baby wasn’t born yet!
SYDNEY: No, I didn’t.
E.J.: Sydney Anne DiMera, do not correct me!
SYDNEY: But, I didn’t say the baby wasn’t born yet. I said I would tell you the baby was born when I found out about it. I already knew about it before you and I talked, so I couldn’t retroactively do that.
E.J.: I will not get into a semantic argument with you, young lady! I gave you a very simple order, and you deliberately disobeyed me! Be assured, there will be consequences for this!

[tghca]

So what is EJ going to do to Sydney now that he knows that she lied? Or better yet what is EJ going to do? Kidnap baby Georgia now that he knows his granddaughter is with Max and Chelsea? Or will he get a court order to get Georgia taken away from Max & Chelsea?


Kate shows up to confront Nicholas...this has everything to do with Cassie I bet

[heroicmuse]

I hope Sydney walks out and tells Sami what happened. EJ needs to be put in his place for once and for all.

I can't wait to see Kate's confrontation with Nicholas!

Great chapter André DiMera. Will there be previews?

[Kpatch]

I agree that Sydney did lie regardless of how she tries to spin it.

I doubt Cassie told Kate about Nicholas so soon. I'm guessing Cassie told Rex and Rex told Kate. It's very Kate-like to stand up for her kids, but I doubt she will get any real satisfaction out of it.

[mae00]

HAHAHAHA! I can't wait to see the confrontation between Kate and Nicholas!

I can't see EJ doing much to punish Sydney because as soon as he does, Sydney will tell Sami. How can he punish someone for lying and trying to "protect family" (even if from family) when he was asking under false pretenses as well?

[André DiMera]

Thanks for reading and commenting, everyone!

Next week…

E.J. confronts his children.
E.J.: Stay out of this!

But will it end well for anyone?
SAMI: What have you done?

Meanwhile, Kate confronts Nicholas.
KATE: I warned you when you two first got together.

And later this week, the Bradys get ready for their newest member to be christened.
CHELSEA: This is gonna be great!

All this and more next week on THE MELASWEN PARADOX!

EJ confronting both Johnny and Sydney but who is he telling to stay out of it? Most likely telling Tony, Chad, Kristen, Andre and or Megan to stay out of it

Sami asking Sydney most likely what has she done

Kate most likely will do everything she can to make sure Nicholas never gets back together with her daughter Cassie by telling him to stay away from her

I still say EJ will crash the christening...him and a bunch of lawyers right by his side and telling Chelsea & Max that they have been served...EJ is going to sue for custody of his granddaughter

[Kpatch]

I would like to see EJ gain a little self awareness. Thanks for the previews!

[heroicmuse]

It sounds like Sydney will tell Sami what EJ did. Good.

EJ is not going to win this, but that's never stopped him before.

I hope the christening goes well and is not crashed by certain troublemakers.

Can't wait for Kate to confront Nicholas!

Thanks for the previews André DiMera.

Monday - 4/29

ALAMAIN INDUSTRIES
NICHOLAS: Kate, whatever this is about, I’m sure we can work things out like reasonable adults.
KATE: You know very well what this is about.
She stood up.
KATE: I warned you. I warned you when you two first got together what would happen if you hurt my daughter.
NICHOLAS: She is the one who decided to end our relationship, I was more than happy to continue it.
KATE: Oh please! You abandoned her! You left town for months and said nothing to her, she had no idea where you were, if you were even alive! And then you come back to town and wait a whole month before telling her that you were back! So even if what you say is true, even if you were planning on continuing your relationship, you sure didn’t show it!
NICHOLAS: I explained to Cassie what happened, why it took me so long to reach out. I regret my actions.
KATE: Well that’s very nice to hear, but it’s a bit late for that! If you were really interested in carrying on a relationship with Cassie, you should have reached out to her. If not while you were gone on your spiritual quest in Alamainia, or whatever the hell you want to call it, then at least when you got back to Salem!
NICHOLAS: I know all of that! And like I said, I regret it, deeply! I should have done more, I should have been better! Everything you’re saying to me, it’s exactly what I’ve been saying to myself since I had that run-in with Cassie this morning. I should have known that she would go running to you.
KATE: Oh, no. You don’t get to do that. You don’t get to mess up my daughter’s life, then blame her when it’s time to face the consequences. For the record, no, she did not come running to me, as you put it.
NICHOLAS: Then how did you find out so quickly? We only talked for the first time in months this morning!
KATE: I have my ways. And whose fault is it again that you two haven’t spoken in ages?
NICHOLAS: As I’ve said multiple times now, mine.
KATE: Exactly!
NICHOLAS: But I will do whatever I have to to win Cassie back.
KATE: You will do nothing of the sort! I am not going to allow you to ruin my daughter’s life all over again, you’ve already done that enough times. You and your psychotic aunt.
NICHOLAS: Let’s leave Aunt Vivian out of this, shall we?
KATE: Why? She’s the reason you left town and went no-contact with everyone in Salem in the first place! Yet for some reason, one of the first people that you spoke to upon your return was her! The woman who tried to destroy your relationship!
NICHOLAS: Well, she certainly did that.
KATE: No, you did, Nicholas. Your choices directly led you to this point. So, here’s what you’re going to do. You are going to leave my daughter alone. And if you don’t, and I find out about it, and I will find out about it, here’s what I’m going to do. I will make whatever remains of your pathetic existence a living hell, unless you stay away from Cassie!
NICHOLAS (softly): God, I forgot how hot you are when you’re angry.
Kate drew in a deep breath. For a moment, Nicholas wondered if she might slap him. She didn’t.
KATE: Nicholas, take a good, long look in the mirror. Ask yourself, “who is this man standing in front of me? Can I live with this man?”.
And with that, Kate stormed out of Nicholas' office, slamming the door behind her.

[tghca]

But the funny thing is Nicholas also has a history with Kate and now he's with her daughter Cassie...so I wonder if Nicholas goes dipping back in that water with Kate?

[heroicmuse]

I'm glad Kate did not let Nicholas charm her out of her anger.

Nicholas had better watch out. Kate is just getting started.
