The Melaswen Paradox (Read 296,754 times)

[mae00]

For once, I honestly can't wait to see the wrath of Sami rain down on EJ.

I'm glad she settled down and was able to control herself with Sydney. Sydney's been through more than enough and she doesn't need Sami coming at her because of someone else. I'm really glad Will was there with her.

I'm glad Lucas is there for Allie and they let Meadow know.

I wonder if we will see a new side of Meadow when she learns what happened.

ALAMAIN MANSION
NICHOLAS: Not exactly. I am leaving, though.
Carly sighed.
CARLY: Nicky, my darling boy, I love you. But have you learned nothing from this most recent experience? You and Trix are finally starting to get back to a good place. And as for Cassie-
NICHOLAS: Cassie is the reason I’m doing this, Mother.
He put down the pair of pants he was folding, and turned to look at Carly.
NICHOLAS: I made a mistake, Mother. In trying to distance myself from what Aunt Viv and Taylor did, I isolated myself from everybody. Everybody who matters to me. Beatrix, Cassie, you.
CARLY: And like I told you, I understand why you did what you felt you had to do.
NICHOLAS: You’re very forgiving of me. That’s something I’ve always admired about you. But I made a bigger mistake than just isolating myself. Upon my return, even though I sought out you and Beatrix, I neglected to seek out Cassie. To be honest, I took her for granted. I assumed that she would always be there, ready to pick up where we left off. When I finally did go and see her this morning, she had a few choice words for me.
He took the engagement ring out of his pocket, looked at it, and set it on the table.
CARLY: Oh, Nicky.
NICHOLAS: You don’t need to say anything, Mother. I messed up, I know. That’s why I’m leaving.
CARLY: You’re running away again, you mean.
NICHOLAS: I said I was leaving, I didn’t say I was leaving town. I took what Cassie said to heart, and I’m going to try to be better. Starting with moving out of the Mansion tonight.
VIVIAN: Over my dead body!
Nicholas and Cassie turned to see Vivian in the doorway.

SALEM UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
Meadow walked out of the elevator and ran over to Lucas, Will, Allie and Sydney.
ALLIE: Meadow.
MEADOW: What’s going on? How’s Johnny?
LUCAS: The doctors are working on him right now. They’ll do everything they can.
MEADOW: I still don’t understand how this all happened. Allie, you said something about an accident.
SYDNEY: It was my fault.

E.J.: Samantha.
He moved as if he were about to stand up.
SAMI: Don’t get up. You’re gonna want to stay seated for this.
E.J.: Look, I understand that you are upset-
SAMI: “Upset?” Upset?! Oh no, no, no, I am not upset! I am far, far beyond upset, E.J.! I don’t even know if there are words to convey what I am feeling right now!
E.J.: Well, whatever it is that you’re about to say, you can just leave it. I’m sure it’s nothing that I haven’t been saying to myself since the incident happened.
SAMI: “Incident”?! Is that what we’re calling it now, an incident? The fact that you maimed my son and sprained my daughter’s arm is an incident? Well, here’s the deal, E.J., I don’t give a damn what you’ve been saying to yourself, what justifications you’ve got for all of this! You are going to sit here and listen to what I have to say!

[tghca]

EJ can sit there and listen to Sami all day but it doesn't change anything. Their son is lying in a hospital bed and EJ put him there all be it by accident because that's what this was, a tragic accident...Johnny hit his head off the fireplace when EJ accidentally shoved his son with all of his might and Johnny went flying backwards. Johnny is fighting for his life right now so Sami chewing EJ out really isn't going to change anything. I'm sure EJ has been beating himself up about this plenty.

So Nicholas is moving out of the Alamain Mansion? But Vivian won't allow it...Nicholas is a grown man Vivian, he doesn't need your approval to move out. If he wants to do it, then he will. But if Nicholas moves out, where is he going to go? Back to Alamainia to clear his head again? Or stay in Salem but just find a place of his own?

Meadow now that she is about to find out what happened to Johnny, will Meadow confront EJ herself? If she does, I wouldn't blame her but she has to be smart about it

[heroicmuse]

EJ does NOT want to provoke Sami any more than he already has. Hopefully this version of Sami will stay angry and it won't turn into sex!

Vivian has no say over where Nicholas lives, no matter how much she thinks she does.

Great chapter André DiMera. Will there be previews?

[Kpatch]

We are going to have to wait to learn Johnny's condition.

I would like to see EJ own up to what he caused.

[André DiMera]

Thanks for reading and commenting, everyone!

Next week…

While Johnny’s life hangs in the balance…
LUCAS: Dad?

E.J. faces Sami’s wrath!
SAMI: I will rain down hell on you!

And when news gets out, a decision has to be made.
CHELSEA: Should we postpone?

Also this week, will Nicholas stand by his choice?
NICHOLAS: I’m leaving,

All this and more next week on THE MELASWEN PARADOX!

Nicholas if he leaves then I wonder if this means he is leaving town? If he is, then I wonder if he will at least let his daughter Trix know that he's leaving and why? Trix I'm sure she will understand or Trix will try to talk to Cassie herself on her father's behalf

I think Chelsea and Max probably find out what happened to Johnny along with the rest of the Brady and DiMera families...that they all find out what happened to him

I wonder what Sami is going to do to EJ? Shoot him again like she did in the past?

Lucas is worried about Johnny because Johnny is his step son so I can see why he's worried and he is a part of Lucas' family but I think Bill he tells his son Lucas that Johnny won't die but that because of what happened he will be in a coma and as for when he wakes up, is anyone's guess

[Kpatch]

I have mixed feelings about Nicholas leaving if he meant leaving Salem. Maybe just the mansion. I can't remember what mansion he lives in.

I don't think Chelsea and Max should postpone.

I hate the character of Sami and always have. I hate how much of a screamer she is. However, in this instance, I will give her a pass. Looking forward to seeing her let EJ have it.

[heroicmuse]

I hope Johnny is okay!

Go Sami! If anyone deserves her wrath, it's EJ.

Hopefully Chelsea and Max won't have to postpone the christening.

I think Nicholas leaving the mansion is a good idea, despite Vivian's opinion.

Thanks for the previews André DiMera.

At the moment, he lives in the Alamain Mansion with Vivian and Ivan. But for how much longer?

Monday - 5/6

SALEM UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
SAMI: How dare you?! How could you do this?! You know, for all of your faults, at the very least, I thought you cared about Johnny and Sydney!
E.J.: I do! Of course I do.
SAMI: You could’ve fooled me! First you disown Johnny-
E.J.: Yes, I’m sure you were quite broken up about that.
SAMI: Do not interrupt me! And don’t you dare think about talking back to me! When you came back to Salem, you agreed to give me custody, as long as you still got the option of seeing Johnny and Sydney when convenient. And I have honored that. I may not always like it, but I’ve honored it. So first, you disown Johnny. Despite my feelings about you, Johnny cares about you. It hurt him deeply when you did that.
E.J.: I only did that because he refused to give up this ridiculous notion he had that the baby would be better off raised outside of the DiMera family.
SAMI: I don’t care if he wanted to sell the baby on the black market! It’s his decision to make it! I admit, I wasn’t thrilled about it, either, but I came around eventually. But you…you say you love your children, then you so easily disown one of them. But you weren’t content with just doing that, were you? Oh, no. You tried to manipulate Sydney into feeding you information about the baby. Oh yes, E.J., I know all about that. Sydney told me everything.
E.J.: Then you’ll know that Sydney lied to me.
SAMI: To protect her brother. I’m sure you’ve never told a lie to protect your family. And anyway, look where we are! Look what you’ve done! Look what your petty vendetta has done to your children! All because you couldn’t handle it that Johnny isn’t a perfect DiMera soldier, and that Sydney wanted to protect her big brother! Sydney is bruised and has a sprained arm! And Johnny, your son who you claim to love but so easily threw away when he didn’t follow orders, he’s being operated on, fighting for his life, because of you!

LUCAS: No it’s not, Sydney. Of course it’s not.
SYDNEY: Yes it is. If I hadn’t gone to the Mansion and kept secrets from Daddy, Johnny would never have gotten hurt.
Sydney looked down and started to cry. Lucas sat down on one side of her and put an arm around her. Allie sat on Sydney’s other side and put a hand on her shoulder.
MEADOW: Sydney, what happened isn’t your fault. E.J. and Johnny have been fighting for weeks now, but what they were fighting about has nothing to do with you.
LUCAS: Exactly. Besides, you were trying to protect your brother, that’s a good thing.
WILL: Right. You didn’t do anything, and it’s not your fault.
Sydney sniffled. Lucas kissed the top of her head.
LUCAS (softly): It’s okay. It’s gonna be okay.
Bill in from the double doors. Lucas, Sydney and Allie stood up.
LUCAS: Dad?
BILL: You’ll want to get Sami and E.J. back here to hear this.

[tghca]

Bill is about to give Lucas, Sami and EJ bad news because that was one bad fall Johnny took and the impact of that fall...hitting his head off the fireplace...no doubt there has to be swelling on Johnny's brain and if there is, there has to be some form of brain damage and if there is, Johnny has to be put into a coma to bring the swelling down but timeline on him waking up from the coma is anyone's guess

Sydney blaming herself...she shouldn't because EJ, her father is the one who is totally at fault here. Sydney sort of is to blame because had she not lied and told her father the truth about Johnny's baby, then who knows what could have happened. But there is enough blame to go around.


Sami trying to read EJ the riot act I can understand why but let's not pretend Sami is some paragon of virtue when it comes to parenting. Let's just look at all the things she's done to each one of her children and she's going to try to judge EJ, I just find that rich and hypocritical.

[heroicmuse]

That sounds ominous. I hope it's not as bad as it sounds.

I'm glad Sami gave EJ the tongue alshung he deserved.

Great chapter André DiMera

[sevenna92]

Hey there, I'm still trying to get caught up on this story because I haven't read the whole thing yet but I've read bits and parts of it and I'm really liking it so far. Also I'm kind of surprised that Tate's been aged up to a teen already because I thought that he would be a little kid for a while longer. So who is going to be in his teen scene? Also, with Brady now dead, is Theresa going to spend the rest of her life alone, or is she going to eventually be paired up with Jeremy, (or perhaps someone else in the story?)

[Kpatch]

I hope Sydney gets over her guilt quickly. Johnny asked her to lie essentially.

I'm nervous about what Bill is going to say.
