The Melaswen Paradox (Read 331,285 times)

[heroicmuse]

I think it will be good for Belle to go back to work. She needs something to focus on besides John's death.

I hope things go well for Claire with this interview.

I'm glad EJ is in solitary. I hope the cops find out what he's been up to.

Great chapter André DiMera

[tghca]

Belle needs something positive to focus on or sink her teeth into and that's work but I love that she's working with Aiden and also working with her son in law Chase because the more cases that come her way, it helps her to not focus on her loss and on her grief when it comes to her dad John


Claire is in LA but if this meeting goes well and they really want Claire in LA full time, what does that do to hers & Chase's marriage?

Even if EJ is in solitary it isn't like Shawn and the Salem PD can prove anything when it comes to EJ's connection to Dirk.

[Kpatch]

Most companies allow 3-5 days for bereavement. Aiden has been generous with Belle.

Nicole asks good questions but there may not be answers.

[mae00]

It's time (and good) for Belle to get back to work.

Hope the interview/meeting goes well for Claire.

I hope Nicole somewhat settles down and realizes that Shawn doesn't have to tell her as much as he is with this being an ongoing investigation. I hope she doesn't mess the case up for him on one of her tirades. She has Holly to think about now.

Friday - 11/15

SALEM P.D.
SHAWN-D: Again, I can only speculate, but it wouldn’t have been too hard to figure out. Word gets around quickly in a prison, particularly when it’s the kind of crimes Dirk was found guilty of committing.
NICOLE: That makes sense, I suppose.
SHAWN-D: As for what I’m going to do for Jade should my assumptions be proven correct, she’ll have protection.
NICOLE: She’d better.
SHAWN-D: She will. Nicole, I’m taking this very seriously. If the DiMeras have their eyes on Jade like I think they do, she will be protected.
NICOLE: Well, good. I may not have loved the idea of having another sister when I found out about her, but I’ve become very fond of Jade over the last several years.
SHAWN-D; I know you have. And I’m glad to see that. Just like I’m glad to see how she’s turned her life around since high school. It’s interesting how much things change.
NICOLE: It is.
Nicole took a deep breath.
NICOLE: Anyway, I should go. You’ll let me know if anything happens, right?
SHAWN-D: I will.
Nicole nodded.
NICOLE: Well, have a good day.
SHAWN-D: You too.
Nicole got up and left.

JENNINGS & BRADY LAW
AIDEN: You’re ready to come back?
BELLE: I think so. I’ve taken more than enough time off, and I think I’m ready.
AIDEN: Well, it’s good to have you back.
BELLE: Good to be back.
Aiden and Belle shook hands.

KIRIAKIS MANSION
Melanie had just put Dani down for a nap. She closed the bedroom door behind her, then sat down at her desk. The desk was up against the wall with a large mirror in front of it. This is where Melanie normally got herself ready for the day. She casually ran a brush through her hair, then smiled at her reflection. It was a smile that looked a little too different from her natural one.

DIMERA MANSION
André looked at a computer screen. Bart came in from one of the secret entrances to the lab.
BART: Mr. D?
ANDRE: Yes, Bart? What is it?
BART: I’ve been meaning to ask for a while, what did you do with Melanie Kiriakis?
André turned and took off his reading glasses.
ANDRE: What?
BART: You know. A few months ago when I got that text telling me to nab Melanie and bring her here. I know it’s none of my business, but you know me, Bossman, I love when you let me in on your plans. So what’s the scoop? What’d you do to Melanie Kiriakis?
André chuckled darkly.
ANDRE: Nothing. I did nothing whatsoever to Melanie Kiriakis.
BART: But that doesn’t make any sense. If you didn’t send me that message, then who did?
Another of the secret entrances opened and Megan walked in.
MEGAN: I did.
Bart knelt down and kissed Megan’s hand.
BART: Miss Hathaway.
André rolled his eyes.
ANDRE: Get off of the floor, Bart.
Bart stood up.
BART: So…ma’am, what did you do to Melanie Kiriakis?
ANDRE: Yes, I’d be interested to know that, as well, dear Megan.
Megan smiled darkly.

[tghca]

Yes what did Megan do to Melanie? Was she the one who stabbed Melanie leaving her for the Johnsons to find? Or did she do something else to Melanie?


Yeah Jade may be protected but we still don't know if it was EJ who killed Dirk...no proof and EJ I'm sure knows how to clean his tracks especially so that way nothing can be tied back to him. He is a DiMera after all.

Belle can use work as a distraction

[Kpatch]

Is Melanie being controlled by Andre again? I think she is.

[André DiMera]

Thanks for reading and commenting, everyone!

Next week…

Johnny learns what he must do to join the Parliament of Owls.
JOHNNY: That’s it?

Claire updates Chase on her interview.
CLAIRE: We’ll find out.

And it’s time to find out…
IVAN: I have the information.

…what did the DiMeras do to Melanie?
PHILIP: I’m concerned about you.

All this and more next week on THE MELASWEN PARADOX!

Yeah I think the DiMeras brainwashed Melanie again

I think Ivan found out which DiMera it was that went after Melanie but what Nicholas does next is anyone's guess


I think Claire got it and if she does then that means she has to leave Salem


Johnny I wonder if he ends up being in even more danger because he joins this Parliament of Owls

[Kpatch]

Thanks for the previews!

[heroicmuse]

Ooh can't wait to find out what the Dimeras did to Melanie.

I wonder what will happen with Claire.

Uh oh. What does the Parliament of Owls want from Johnny?

Great previews André DiMera

Monday - 11/18

KIRIAKIS MANSION
Melanie set the hairbrush down and looked directly into the mirror.
MELANIE: You’re not going to get away with this, you know?
The unnerving smile widened.
“MELANIE”: Who says I haven’t already?
(NOTE: This conversation is happening in Melanie’s head. For the purposes of this scene, the real Melanie’s lines will be normal, while the person everyone thinks is Melanie will have quotes around her name.
MELANIE: You can’t have. Someone will figure it out sooner or later.
“MELANIE”: Oh, but you see, they won’t. Because I’ve been trained by the best. You do know that André spent nearly 20 years with everyone convinced that he was really Tony, right?
MELANIE: You are not André DiMera.
“MELANIE”: No. I’m his daughter.
MELANIE: I am not his daughter!
“MELANIE”: Who was talking about you? I’m talking about me. I’m inside your head, Melanie. You may have kept me at bay for years, but I’ve been hidden inside of your head since those doctors forced me in there. And now, thanks to Aunt Megan, I’m finally free.
MELANIE: And with this newfound freedom, you’re gonna do what, exactly?
“MELANIE”: Go back to my father and continue his great work alongside him. It will be beautiful.
MELANIE: It sounds horrific! Anyway, how have you convinced Philip that you’re really me? I should hope he’d know that something’s off.
“MELANIE”: Like I said, I learned from the best. There is the benefit of being inside of your mind, of course. It’s not like with Father and Tony where there’s two of them. There’s only one of me…I mean us.
The fake Melanie laughed.
“MELANIE”: So you see, when he kisses me, he can’t tell the difference, because it’s still my body. Plus, being inside of your head, I know you better than anybody. I know how you think, how you feel, how you talk, how you’d react to pretty much any situation. Because at the end of the day, I am you, only better.
MELANIE: You’re not me! You’ll never be me! There’s no way!
“MELANIE”: Oh, but there is. Like I said, I’ve been set free, and this time I’m here to stay.

PARK
Ivan walked out of a secret door near the park. He sat on a park bench and dialed a number.
IVAN: Mr. Alamain, I have the information that you requested. I need to meet with you and Philip Kiriakis as soon as possible. And tell Mr. Kiriakis that he might want to bring along one of his friends from the ISA. This information will be of interest to them, as well, I think.

ALAMAIN INDUSTRIES
NICHOLAS: I’ll do that. Come to the office, everyone has gone home for the day. We’ll hold the meeting here. Goodbye.
Nicholas hung up, but quickly dialed another number.
NICHOLAS: Philip, Nicholas Alamain. I need you to come to my office, there’s been a new development in the situation with Melanie. Try to see if you can get one of your ISA friends to come, too.

[tghca]

So Ivan has the information that Nicholas and Philip need...but is the info really solid? If it is, then it may not even matter because it may be too late

Philip has no idea his wife the mother of his daughter Dani and Nicholas' sister Melanie is being brainwashed again by the DiMeras


So Melanie is being brainwashed and it was Megan who set up Melanie's programming...not surprised


But I wonder what can the ISA do about this? I'm sure the DiMeras have a fail safe to the brainwashing...a trigger word or a trigger to brainwash Melanie and we have no idea what it is

[heroicmuse]

I wonder what info Ivan has, and if he is going to double cross them.

Ooh so it's almost like manufactured DID with evil Melanie in real Melanie's head.

Great chapter André DiMera

[Kpatch]

Uh oh. Crazed Melanie is going to try to harm Philip!
