GOT YALucas and Sami are at the Pub.
“What happened Lucas?” Sami asks.
“I don’t want to talk about it.” Lucas replies. He takes a sip of his tea.
Sami sits down in front of him.
“Come on Lucas, I know there’s something wrong. Come on you can tell me anything.”
“Okay you want to know what’s wrong? Alice is what’s wrong. Are you happy now?”
Sami looks at Lucas sadly. Lucas drinks more tea.
Nicole kicks and tries to scream as someone carts her off to the DiMera dungeon. The man puts her down in front of EJ. Nicole screams.
“What the hell EJ!”
“That will be all Marco. Thank you” EJ says. Marco takes off.
“Why did you bring me down here? All you had to do was ask me to come down here.”
“But what would be the fun in that?”
“What do you want?”
“What do I want? Don’t you mean what do I know?”
“Okay what do you know?”
“I’m glad you ask. You see, I have proof that you framed Arianna.”
Nicole gives EJ a little smirk.
Chloe’s at Java playing with her phone. A tear comes down her eyes. She wipes it away quickly as Mia approaches her.
“Can I get you anything else Chloe?”
“No thank you. I’m fine Mia.”
“You don’t look fine. What did Nicole say to you?”
“Nicole didn’t say anything. She was just helping me then EJ calls her. I hope it doesn’t take long. I really need her.”
“How can you be friends with someone like Nicole?”
“Hey! Nicole might have done a lot of bad things, but she’s still a great person. And you weren’t all too innocent either.”
Chloe storms out of Java and right into Philip. He stops her.
“What’s wrong Chloe? What happened?” He asks.
“I’m losing Daniel and I can’t do anything to stop it.” She cries.
Chloe lays her head on Philip’s shoulder and cries. Philip rubs her back.
Chad is embarrassed at his mother’s outburst at the DiMera mansion.
“Mom, what are you doing here?” Chad asks.
“Here to save you from them.” Madeline replies. “Now come on now!”
Madeline reaches for Chad’s arm, but Chad pulls it away.
“I’m not going anywhere with you. I’m 18 and I’ll do what I want when I want to.”
“Don’t you speak to me that way.”
“Well then just come clean with it then. Tell me why you don’t like the DiMera’s so much.
Madeline and Kate stand in silence. Stefano walks up to the living room door.
In the DiMera Dungeon, EJ and Nicole stand face to face.
“So you’re framing me for framing Arianna? Wow EJ I thought you were better than that.”
“I thought you were better than this Nicky. All this to get Brady Black back, really? By the way, how is that working out for you?
“Oh shut up.”
“Do you really want me to shut up? Don’t you want to know what evidence I found against you?”
“Okay I’ll bit. What is it?’
“Not what is it, but who is it.”
“What?”
“Your partner in crime Dr. Richard Baker.”
Nicole begins to laugh.
“Really? Dr. Baker? That Dick? This is all so funny.”
“Really? How is that?”
“He’s dead. Your father put a hit on him back when we’re trying to keep him from blabbing about Sydney. But that was a great try” Nicole laughs as she pats EJ on the shoulder.”
EJ starts to laugh.
“Baker’s very much alive and he’s right over there.”
“You’re keeping his dead body?”
“You mean his alive body? Come on Nicole give it up. He’s already told me everything.”
Nicole stops laughing. She rushes to Baker’s cell. He’s sleeping.
“Dick is that you?” Nicole asks. “DICK!!!”
“What? What? Nicole?”
Baker gets to his feet and walks over to the bars.
“Where am I?”
“Dick, you’re alive. I can’t believe it! It’s a miracle.” Nicole smiles
“Cut the act Nicole he has us.” Baker says.
Nicole frowns. EJ smiles.
Sami puts her hands in Lucas’. They look into each other’s eyes.
“Alice gave me some advice before she passed.” Lucas begins. “She told me that I shouldn’t allow my past relationships get in the way of my happiness and to make me give up on love. I should take every opportunity I have and to not be afraid to make the first move.”
“That’s great advice.” Sami says with a smile.
“It is, but it didn’t work out the way that I thought.”
They stop holding hands.
“That’s what happened? Some woman turned you down? It’s her lost. She doesn’t deserve you.”
“What makes me think that? What if I don’t deserve her?
“Wow, you really like her don’t you?”
“What? I don’t even know her. She’s just beautiful so I asked her out.”
“Who is she? What’s her name? Does she have any kids?”
“Drop it Sami.”
“Any psycho ex-boyfriends? Has she been married?”
“Sami if you don’t stop questioning me I’m going to take your shoe.”
“My shoe? Wait Wait!”
Lucas takes Sami’s right flip flop off her foot.
“You said if I asked you another question and I didn’t.”
“You’re right. I’m sorry.”
“What does she look like?”
Lucas takes her shoe and gets up. Sami follows him hopping on one foot trying to get her shoe back from him. Someone watches them for outside.
Philip and Chloe are hugging outside of Java. Mia watches from inside. They stop and look up at each other.
“What happened with Daniel?” Philip asked.
“I don’t know how much longer I can hide the truth from him.” Chloe whines.
“We just have to keep quiet longer. Come up with better lies.”
“Easy for you to say, no one knows you cheated.”
Chloe wipes the tears from her eyes.
“You’re right. I left you holding the bag and I’m sorry for that, but what do you want me to do? If you don’t want Daniel to know then I can’t tell Melanie.”
“You’re right. You can’t.”
“But now that I think about it. Maybe we should just come out with it.”
Mia opens the door.
‘’We can’t tell the truth. If we do that we’ll lose Daniel and Melanie for good.”
“But if we don’t. Carly will tell. Then it won’t be long before 2 and 2 is put together and they find out we slept together. Melanie’s already so suspicious of our friendship.”
“Well I don’t want to risk it. We have to stay quiet. Are you willing to do that?”
Philip strokes his hair and looks into Chloe’s eyes.
“Yes.” He says.
Back at the DiMera mansion, Chad awaits his answer from Madeline.
“I’m waiting.” Chad says tapping his foot. Kate intervenes.
“Chad, maybe you should just leave.”
“Why? It’s a good question.” Will adds.
“Maybe you should stay out of this.” Madeline says in a harsh tone.
“Don’t you talk to my grandson that way in my house.” Kate shouts.
Kate and Madeline stare at one another.
“I’m gone.” Chad says.
He grabs his bag and rushes out the door. Will follows him.
“Will come back.” Kate shouts to him.
Will turns around.
“I’ll be back later” Will says.
“Great now look what you have done.” Kate says to Madeline.
Stefano looks at the both of them.
“Chad wait up.” Will shouts. Chad stops.
“I’m tired of this.” Chad says. “I need to know what the connection is to my mom and the DiMeras.
“Me too” Will admits. “But how are we going to do that?”
“Good question.”
Chad and Will think.
“I think I know where to start.” Will says
“Where?” Chad asks curiously.
“The internet.”
“You really think the connection is somewhere in cyber space?”
“Good point, but maybe we should talk to a professional.”
“What do you mean?”
“Like a hacker. Someone who can go places that we never knew existed.”
“And where are we going to find this hacker from?”
“Follow me.” Will says.
Will and Chad begin to walk.
Down in the DiMera dungeon Nicole is worried about EJ’s next move.
“He’s right Nicky, I know you and Baker were working together to frame Arianna for the muggings. “ EJ says with a grin. “You got the DNA and Baker planted at the scene.”
“And Baker told you all of this?” Nicole asked as she turns to EJ.
“Yes he did” EJ admits.
“He’s lying. He’s just trying to cover his own butt. His and his partner’s butt.”
“That partner is you.” EJ says.
“It’s not me. Someone’s trying to set me up!” Nicole demands.
“Give it up Nicole! It’s over” Baker shouts.
