I love how Philip is being with Deimos. Deimos' tantrums don't work with him.

I'm very curious what happened between Philip and TK.

I wonder how soon Jade will learn the whole story.

Great chapter André DiMera

[fluffysmom]

I wonder what happened with Philip and TK.

I wouldn't want to share that story either if I were Jan.

[Kpatch]

I'm also loving the way Philip is handling Deimos. Love it when he said it's still VIctor's company, he's just not running it anymore. Making Deimos co-CEO was a mistake. I hope he'll never make that mistake again.

I have a feeling TK is not the sweet kid Philip would like him to be. More like Tripp.

Great chapter.

Chapter 265

SAMI & LUCAS' APARTMENT
Lucas came into the living room with three cups of coffee in his hands. He handed one to Sami and Susan, then sat down next to Sami.
SAMI: Susan, you know that I can't make E.J. do anything that he doesn't want to.
SUSAN: But, he'll listen to you. I know he will. If the two of us work together, I know we can convince little Elvis to come with me and Edmund.
SAMI: Is Edmund in town, as well?
SUSAN: No. No, he had to stay in London and do work. But, that's not the point. We need to get little Elvis away from his horrible family, and I know we can do it if we work together.
Sami and Lucas looked at each other.
SUSAN: What? What is it?
LUCAS: We've recently had a few visits from your brother.
SUSAN: Thomas? Thomas was here? No, that's not possible. Thomas doesn't make visits unless...oh dear. It's worse than I thought.
SAMI: Wait a minute, Susan, I thought you were the reason Thomas came here.
LUCAS: That's what he told us, anyway. He also told us that he called you to come here.
SUSAN: No. I did get a call to come down here, but it wasn't from Thomas. It was from my sister, Moira. Well, Sister Mary Moira. She's both my sister and a sister, as in a nun...
SAMI: We understand.
SUSAN: Moira called me a few days ago. She said something about Thomas being in trouble and that she wanted to see me. But I didn't imagine that she meant that Thomas was here and getting into trouble. This is bad. This is very, very bad.

TITAN
DEIMOS: Your company?
PHILIP: Yep. I've been groomed to take over Titan ever since I was born. And now, I have.
DEIMOS: Hm. That still makes me wonder why Uncle Vic promoted me in your absense over somebody who's actually been here a long time.
PHILIP: I can tell you why. He pities you. He thinks you need something to do so you won't get into trouble again. But, as I said, this isn't your company, Deimos. It never has been. You've only just come on the scene a month or two ago, and you think, because your uncle paid your way out of jail, that he's got you covered for the rest of your life. Take it from me, that's not the way Victor Kiriakis works. Oh, sure, he cares about family, deeply. But never cross him. If you do, you'll find out what he's really like.
DEIMOS: You think I don't know? I was raised by Titus Kiriakis.
Philip laughed.
PHILIP: Oh, please. Uncle Titus has nothing on Victor. He's ten years his junior, and he never left Greece.
DEIMOS: Just so you know, I'm not going down without a fight.
PHILIP: Well, just so you know, you'll never get complete control over this company.
DEIMOS: You're looking for trouble, Philip. But, I don't mind a bit of trouble. In fact, d'you know what I say? Bring it on.

[heroicmuse]

Deimos you need to shut your mouth and listen. But you won't. So its on and I guarantee he will lose.

Love love love Susan.

Great chapter André DiMera. Will there be previews?

[mae00]

So Susan didn't actually send Thomas.....I hope Sami and Lucas fill Roman and the rest of them in on this tidbit of information soon.

Oh Deimos. You are way out of your league. Prison was a playground compared to the dealings of the Victor and the Dimera's and Titus nothing more than a puppy. Victor doesn't do anything without an agenda/plan. Philip is not the one looking for trouble. Deimos is and he better heed Philip's words "never cross Victor"

[Kpatch]

Thomas didn't call Susan. Interesting! He's a cagey one.

Love the Philip/Deimos dynamic.

Looking forward to previews!

[fluffysmom]

It doesn't look like Deimos is going to heed Philip's warning.

I wonder why Thomas lied about Susan and what else he's lying about.

[André DiMera]

Thanks for reading and commenting, everyone! I'm glad you're enjoying the story so far!

---

Next week...

Thomas' secret has been exposed.
SUSAN: Thomas, we need to talk.

But there are more secrets yet to come...
THOMAS: I'm on it.

Plus, Deimos is ready for a fight.
DEIMOS: Bring it on.

And the Australia trip begins to wrap up.
CLAIRE: It's almost the end.

All this and more next week on THE MELASWEN PARADOX!

[heroicmuse]

Ooh sad to see the end of the Australia trip but glad for more drama involved with it. Excited to see Deimos' next move and what Susan has to say to Thomas.

Great previews André DiMera

[Kpatch]

Fantastic previews. Looking forward to Deimos and the Banks siblings!

[fluffysmom]

Thanks for the previews André DiMera. I'm looking forward to seeing what Andre's next move will be. I wonder what Thomas will tell his sisters.

Chapter 266

ST. LUKE'S
After leaving Sami and Lucas', Susan stopped by St. Luke's. She stood in the back of the church. A moment later, she was joined by Sister Mary Moira. The two hugged.
SUSAN: Oh, Moira, it's so good to see you!
MOIRA: Good to see you, too. I'm just surprised it took you this long to get out here.
SUSAN: Well, I couldn't just put everything on hold immediately. Plus, once I got here, and I stopped to see Sami. I figured that, if anyone knew where Elvis was, she would.
MOIRA: And were you correct in that assumption?
SUSAN: I was. Only I wish I wasn't. Moira, we have to get my little Elvis away from that evil, evil, evil family of his!
Sister Mary Moira nodded.
MOIRA: And we will, Susan. But, we need to concentrate on one thing at a time. What else did Sami and Lucas tell you?
SUSAN: Well, they told me about Thomas coming to see them. They said that Thomas claims he called me here, but we both know that that's not true. They also said that they've seen Thomas. At first I thought they were pullin' my leg. I mean, we all know that Thomas doesn't make house calls.
MOIRA: Nevertheless, Thomas is here. I've seen him. That's part of why I called you.
SUSAN: If Thomas really is here, then this is a lot bigger than I thought.
MOIRA: It is. Which is why I believe it's time for us to hold an intervention before things get too far out of hand.
Moira pulled a ruler out of her sleeve.

SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE – SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA
Claire and Chase were walking around the Sydney Opera House.
CHASE: Wow! I think this is some of the coolest architecture I've ever seen!
CLAIRE: Me too! The accoustics in here must be amazing!
CHASE: Give it a try.
CLAIRE: I really want to! But, I probably shouldn't.
CHASE: Why not?
CLAIRE: Because, they said we have to be fairly quiet in this part of the Opera House, and I don't want to get us in trouble.
CHASE: Well, that makes sense, I guess.
They continued looking around.
CLAIRE: I wonder if Aunt Chloe ever sang here. I'll have to ask my mom when we get back home.
CHASE: I didn't know you had an Aunt Chloe.
CLAIRE: Well, she's not technically my aunt. But, she might as well be. Her and my mom have been best friends since high school, and she used to have a thing for my Uncle Philip. She's an opera singer, mostly in Chicago, but she does travel a lot.
CHASE: Oh, that's cool.
CLAIRE: I just wish we could stay here longer. This place is awesome! I can't believe it's almost the end.
CHASE: Me either. But, you know what happens once we get back?
CLAIRE: Of course I do.
Claire and Chase kissed.

SALEM INN
Thomas sat in his room at the Salem Inn. He had gotten one of the deluxe suites. He was currently on the phone.
THOMAS: Of course I understand. I'm on it. Right away.
Thomas hung up the phone. There was a knock at the door.
THOMAS: Coming.
Thomas walked up to the door and opened it.
THOMAS: What are you doing here?

[heroicmuse]

LMAO at the image of Sister Mary Moira with her ruler. I want to see her slap Thomas' wrist!

I wonder if that's her who came to see Thomas, or someone else.

Sweet scene between Claire and Chase.

Great chapter André DiMera.

[Kpatch]

I'm starting to wonder if Thomas is really Thomas. Something is fishy.

I like the mention of Chloe as they're seeing the Sydney Opera House. Nice tie-in! Wonder what happens when Claire and Chase get home.
