Updates
MONDAY, MARCH 31, 2003
Jack enters the Echelon Club looking for Carson and is
surprised to find Tony and Lucas in attendance at the "gentleman's
club. Lucas is surprised to learn that Tony is the new owner.
Tony's impressed when he watches Lucas come to the rescue of a
hassled waitress. The waitress escorts Lucas to a back room where
she promises to thank him in her own special way. Jack spots
Maria as one of the hostesses and tries to find out what she
knows. She recognizes him and has him thrown out but when he
won't give up, the club's bouncer knocks Jack out cold. Anxious
to be alone, Belle and Shawn wait for Cassie to pack her things.
When Shawn offers to help Cassie get her luggage, Belle calls her
father who realizes that she and Shawn are about to have sex.
John urges her to wait but then realizes there is nothing he can
do. Belle assures him that she and Shawn are ready and promises
to be safe. She and Shawn are shocked when Cassie reveals her
plans to go to a party with Chaz. After she leaves, Belle and
Shawn start to kiss. Admitting he knows that John is with the
ISA, Bo asks John to run a background check on Carson. Jack calls
Bo about Carson which causes Bo to rush to the Echelon. Spotting
Tony, Bo calls John who decides to see what Tony is up to. Maria
finds Bo waiting in his car and joins him, opening her coat to
reveal her naked body. Cassie calls John to report that she has
been arrested. Brady helps Chloe after she suffers a terrible
nightmare.
Hartley House
Belle primps as Cassie is busy angrily slinging her stuff on the
bed (she has been kicked out of Hartley House). Shawn arrives to
hear Belle lecturing Cassie and her telling Belle to just shut up.
Cassie talks about calling Tony to help her out of it, as Belle
suggest she call Mominfuriating Cassie. Cassie starts about how
all this is unfair, etc. She asks Shawn to go down and help her
with her suitcases and they leave. While they are gone, Belle
calls her dad (see below). When they return and Belle happily
offers to help her pack. They continue to spar and bicker as
Shawn just stands back and watches. Later, she is all packed as
Chaz arrives to take her to the party (she is going to have the
servants pick up her things later). Belle lights into Chaz about
Cassie getting drunk as Cassie starts kissing on him. Chaz
invites Belle and Shawn to the party, but they flatly refuseand
don't want Cassie going either, but she doesn't listen. After
they leave, Belle continues to worry about her, saying they
should have stopped her. Shawn suggests she forget about Cassie.
She asks Shawn to leave for 10 minutes so she can get things
ready for their evening. He waits in the hall until she calls for
him (LOL as he practically RUNS into the room when she calls him).
She is in the bed in the dark room with candles all around. He
joins her and they start kissing. He asks
her if she is SURE, she says I love you, make love to me.
At The Hospital
Brady is keeping vigil by Chloe's bed as she sleeps. She is
having a nightmare where she can hear Joy crying and is running
around looking for her. She wakes up, telling him that something
is wrong with Joy and she has to find her. She urges Brady to
check and make sure all is okay so he leaves. He returns later
with Nancy and Joy for a visit. The nurse takes Joy to the
nursery (as Brady slips off as well) giving Chloe and Nancy some
alone time. Later, they have pictures all over the bed as Nancy
tells her funny stories about the new father. She especially
likes the stories about how he has the nursery set up like an
operating room and how he even wears a surgical mask to change
her diapers. Later, Brady returns from the penthouse (see below)
and joins them. They try to convince Chloe that all will go well
with her transplant and she will be well soon and they rally
around her.
At The Penthouse
John settles down with a beer to watch the hockey game (Blackhawks
and Detroit, he says) when the doorbell rings. Its Bo, talking
about the gang crime wave in Salem and of his suspicions of
Carson Palmer. He wants Johns help investigating him. John tries
to play dumb, but Bo tells him he KNOWS he is ISA. He assures him
that he and Roman are the only ones who know and the secret is
safe. John finally agrees to run a check on Palmer. Belle calls
around this time, telling him she is worried about Cassie. She
finally tells him not to worry, she can handle it and says
something about her being gone as she and Shawn will be alone.
John invites them over, but soon picks up on what Belle has
planned for the evening. She says she refuses to have this
conversation with him and prattles on and on, just digging her
hole deeper. She says she refuses to discuss her sex life with
him (NOT like I have one, she saysLOL) as John gets very quiet.
She thinks he hung up, but he finally offers her some advicebe
safe and be SURE about itand NOT to rush into anything. She
assures him that she will think it over first and will be sure.
John tells his Isabella that he loves her and she thanks him.
After his call, John rejoins Bo and jokingly tells him that he
loves Shawn, but if he hurts his little girl, he will kill him.
Bo assures him that they are good kids and they shouldnt
interfere. Brady shows up as well as John invites him to stay and
watch the game and they will order Chinese and Brady accepts. (Exactly
WHERE is Marlena anyway???) As they eat, Bo gets a frantic call
from Jack, asking him to come down to Club Echelon.
Club Echelon
Tony arrives at the club, saying its his first time. Lucas is
there as well, telling Tony that it is the best bar in Salem.
Lucas tongue is practically hanging out of his mouth as he ogles
the ladies. He orders a double vodka (saying that the club soda
sucks) but Tony takes it away from him. Jack arrives as well and
spots Maria. He calls Jennifer and gives her updates. Lucas
begins to question Tony and we get the idea that Tony is the new
owner of the club (which he eventually confesses to). Lucas spots
a girl (Natasha) and says her cups runneth over (LOL) and heads
her way. Jack joins Maria and immediately begins questioning her
about Carson Palmer. But she recognizes him from the Blue Note
and she calls for security and has him thrown out. Some guy
interrupts Lucas and Natasha and they get into it (as Tony and
the bouncer watch). Lucas finally gets the best of him and the
bouncer comes over and tosses that guy out as well. Bo finds Jack
hiding in the bushes and offers to go inside and talk to Maria,
but Jack warns that she will recognize him as well. John shows up
as well and HE volunteers to go inside. Maria goes to leave, so
Bo follows her, leaving Jack outside alone. The bouncer comes out
and spots him and tries to run him off. Jack is prattling
something about mixing him up with his twin brother as the
bouncer says say goodnight Gracie and pops Jack right in the
mouth and he collapses to the ground. Inside, John encounters
Tony as both inquire why each other is there. Natasha was so
impressed with Lucas that they head to a private room (hehe).
Tony barks orders at one girl as John asks why they are so
obedient to him. John gets a phone call from Cassie asking for
his helpshe has been arrested and she didnt want to call Marlena
or Tony. (Well, that sure didnt take long, LOL). Bo is in his car
as Maria walks over, telling him her car wouldnt start and asks
if she can wait with him for the tow truck. She gets in the car,
saying she is cold. He asks if she wants him to turn up the heat.
She starts coming on to him and asks is this working for you?

Show # 9527
Tape Date: Various
Director: Phil Sogard
Tony's disappointed in Cassie, Bo goes undercover, Belle finds
out about Tarzan and Jack's ejection from the club turned out to
be better than he thought.
Hartley House
Belle and Shawn are getting a little hot and heavy as he observes
the day of the week panties she's wearing are the wrong day of
the week. She informs him that it's after midnite and she changed
them, so it's correct. He can't stop laughing at it (as would I)
at her about it, which doesn't sit well with her. She takes her
days of the week panties seriously and thought it sexy. He
apologizes, saying it was nervous laughter. Asking why she's
getting hostile, she erupts, but explains she's nervous too and
was hurt. He asks if she irons her panties too. Big mistake as
she rattles on about her "neat tendencies". What would
he think of her if she didn't iron her clothes and wore Monday's
panties on Saturday (heaven forbid!!!). He likes the idea she's a
perfectionist and realizes they're both nervous and may be why
she's getting upset over nothing. He just wants to make her happy
and asks they start over. She agrees and they start kissing again.
Taking a bre! ather she apologizes for overreacting earlier and
each confesses to how much they loved each other. He admits not
being able to think about her in his hotel room while away as
people were coming and going. (have you heard the phrase think
before speaking Shawn?) He explains his roommate threw the party,
not him. She wants a full accounting as to who was there and what
was going on. Furious there were girls in his room all night (even
though he says he didn't do anything), she opens her door and
throws him out. He can't believe she's blowing this out of
proportion and tries to justify his innocence. She tosses his
clothes out the door and a tall brunette (Amy) walks by and
recognizes Shawn from the party in his hotel room. She goes to
State, but was visiting his teammate (everyone's sure wide awake
for after midnight!) and thanks him again for the good time she
had at his party. She reminds "Tarzan" that he didn't
have such a bad time himself. Amy enjoys telling Belle the st!
ory about what happened at 4 a.m. when Shawn dove off the roof
wearing only his shorts into the swimming pool. He lost his
shorts in the pool and couldn't find them, so someone handed him
one of those small bar towels. Wearing it like a loin cloth, the
others called him Tarzan. She asks him to do his Tarzan call and
embarrassed, he refuses. Amy does it for him as Belle's case
builds without saying a word. Later we join them and Amy's gone
as Shawn tries to explain that was his way of getting everyone
out of their room. Belle doesn't buy it and figures he's bored
with her and her day of the week panties. She throws him out.
The Stakeout
Maria is really coming on to Bo, asking if he wants to have a
good time. He admits he does, but says a chemically induced one.
She refuses to help him until he flashes some money. Telling him
to stay put, she slips out of the car and knocks on a door nearby.
Bo follows her and after a guy (looks like Carson Palmer's
brother to me, haha) answers the door and tells her she's late,
Bo walks up sniffing a lot, anxious to party. The guy doesn't
trust Bo, takes Maria inside and shuts the door in Bo's face.
Club Echelon
Cassie calls John because she was arrested. Sitting on Abe's desk
swinging her legs, she tells him that Commander Carver (why is HE
there after midnite?) did her a favor (because of her mom) and
let her call one of her parents. He reminds her that's not him,
but she figures he's her stepfather and close enough. He agrees
to come and bids Tony farewell. He doesn't see Jack sprawled on
the lawn out front as he heads off. Jack comes to staring into
the cleavage of one of the club's bimbos. He wonders if he died
and went to heaven as the bimbo pulls his face into her cleavage.
Jen walks up nearby and tells him, no, he isn't dead YET! Jen LOL.
Jen tells "Natasha" to keep her hands off Jack..he's
her ex-husband and fiancÈe. Natasha isn't phased, but strolls
off telling Jack to ask for her if he wants a real woman. Jack
wants to explain, but Jen knows what's really going on with him
and Natasha. He explains about getting thrown out and punched
cold and had ju! st come to when she arrived, holding his sore
jaw. He has to wait to see how Bo does with Maria before leaving.
She decides to wait with him being Abby's spending the night at
Vern and Jo's. Jen's concerned and wants Jack to leave, but he
refuses. The two of them walk into the club and Bo joins them. He
tells J&J what happened and the address. They tell Bo how
Maria was calling the shots at The Blue Note. If they can connect
the guy with Carson Palmer, they can pull him down. Bo agrees to
catch up with them later to talk and heads back into the club.
Jack assures Jen he's so damn lucky to be with her and will never
resort to a club like that. Bo strolls over to Natasha and she's
happy he chose her. He says his name is Norman. A bottle of
champagne is delivered and he's charged $200 (little sticker
shock Bo?) Sipping his champagne, he asks what's it like working
there and about a girl named Maria. Bo starts talking with a lisp
and after the bottle of champagne's gone, Na! tasha admits
Maria's a piece of work, but gets away with the way she t alks to
customers. Not liking all the questions, she insists he leave her
alone or risk getting thrown out or punched in his pretty face.
Bo leaves in a huff, upset he didn't find out more.
Cop Shop
As John strolls into the detective area, a female officer calls
and tells someone about his arrival and to get over there. John
walks in and asks Abe what Cassie did, leaving the office door
open. Abe tells him that she and some other Salem U kids were
loitering around Salem Place drunk and disorderly. A beat cop
found them and brought them in. Cassie hadn't really been charged
yet. Carson Palmer walks in (after midnight and in his suit that
quickly? He must live in his office) just in time to hear Abe
admit Cassie hadn't been charged. Claiming Abe's still doing
favors for the Brady's, John corrects him he's not a Brady.
Carson knows he's an honorary Brady and just as bad. The two flex
their power muscles at each other as John threatens Palmer to
make his life miserable if he fights him over a small matter such
as this one. Carson's cell rings and he steps out to take the
call as Cassie thanks John, knowing he does care about her. John
reminds her underage dri! nking is a crime and it's not worth
doing it again. Thankful he's not going to lecture her more, she
hugs him as he offers to take her home. Tony walks into the
office wanting to know what's going on. He explains that being
John's got him under surveillance, he'd return the favor. Abe
tells Tony that Cassie asked to call John and offers John a cup
of coffee in the outer office. After they leave Tony yells at
Cassie for what she did as well as dragging their family name
through the mud. He tells her to go back to the dorm to sleep it
off. She tells him about being thrown out of there because of
getting caught drinking a beer as he yells again. John tells Tony
she's just a kid and these things happen. Tony goes to take
Cassie home, but she refuses and asks John to take her home so
she can be with her mother. Abe tells John to take Cassie home
and when Tony rants about it, Abe tells him it's his decision and
if he wants to complain about it, do it to him, not John. Alone
in Ab! e's office, Tony fumes internally.
Club Deveraux
J&J return home. She stops him from calling Bo and he stops
her from calling Vern to check on Abby. The two sink on the couch
as she offers him all the luxuries of Club Echelon in his very
own home. He wants a life partner with a big heart and doesn't
care about those other type of women. She opens his shirt and he
accepts her back rub offer. Kissing his neck and shoulders, he
tells her to forget the back rub and they move on to more.

Episode #9528
Tape date: Various
Director: Albert Alarr (new one!)
The pro & amateur sleuths meet to compare notes; Bo gets a
new partner, while Jack & Jen get a surprise, and the day
Chloe has been getting ready for finally arrives.
The Brady Pub
Hope is teasing Bo about last night's undercover visit to the
"den of iniquity". They talk of the DA being literally
in bed with someone (Maria) who has ties to the drug underworld,
and how close Vin's house is to the campus. Jack & Jen come
in, and now B&H hear about Jack being assaulted. Bo explains
how the gal he was with at Echelon (Natasha) thought he asked too
many questions, so they all agree it is not just Maria with
something to hide. Outside, Nicole is looking in the window, with
Nico watching her every move. Kate and Roman arrive.. Kate &
NiK spar a bit, and they go inside. As they stop to say hi to the
foursome, Bo changes the conversation, Roman feels the coolness
and they go to their own table. Hope & Jen go for the coffee,
as Jack notes to Bo that Roman does not know Bo is working with
them. Bo says Roman doesn't even know HE is working on this. Hope
& Jen chatter about working with their man all day, and being
together ! then all night, too, as Hope misses working with Bo. (we
miss you working with him, too). Vern calls Jack, telling him to
get over to television hill (?), WDIL as gifts are arriving. Jack
& Jen are puzzled, but leave.
Roman joins Kate with their takeout order, deciding not to stay
since Bo does not seem to want them there. Kate thought their
fences had been mended, but leaves with Roman. Nicole stops Bo,
wanting to talk about his father. As she begins to tell him of
overhearing Vic talking to the underworld, Victor walks in, and
in his usual menacing tone, mentions that Bo already knows all
about him contacting his former associates, etc., and apologizes
to Bo for not turning up anything. Bo realizes something is not
right between these two, but stays out of it. Hope comes up, Vic
asks about Zack, who is upstairs playing Candyland with Grampa
Shawn, and goes off with Hope. Bo tells Nik that he and his
father go about their lives in different ways, have an
understandi! ng about it, and don't try to get him into their
problems. Victor retu rns, Bo pulls him aside to ask him to dig
up what he can on Carson Palmer. Vic agrees, Bo leaves and Victor
now threatens Nicole again. He warns her about trying to thwart
him, that she will never best him - she tells him nothing lasts
forever, and he retorts that is right, a fresh hell is awaiting
her.
Cop Shop
Bo & Hope come in, chatting about work, when Abe angrily
opens his door, ordering Dectective Brady in there, NOW!. Abe
proceeds to rake Bo over the coals for tampering with the lock on
his file cabinet, and working on the case after being
specifically taken off. Outside Roman & Kate arrive, hearing
Abe yelling, and Roman goes to soothe some ruffled feathers. He
goes in, and gives a pep talk in Bo's defense. They all talk of
rebel Bo, who may bend the rules, but not break them, how those
arrested are walking, etc. He calms Abe down, finally offering to
partner with Bo, and be responsible for him. Abe agrees and Bo
says first order of business is to stake out the drug house.
Outside, Kate doen's understand how, if Roman is a captain, he
would still be out in the trenches (and if you find out, let us
know, Kate) Hope tells Kate she knows how she feels about Roman,
so why hasn't she told him. Kate replies she was hoping he would
say it first, but ha! sn't..
TV Studio
Jack & Jen arrive rather hesitantly, to be greeted by Vern,
are astonished to see Oliver Wentworth & Harold, too. Oliver
compliments them both on what they have done with the Spectator
in just a few months, best decision he ever made. He thanks Jen
for having him meet her dad, talking of how much he enjoyed his
safari in Africa, that Bill Horton never has time for a safari,
and that is too bad. But that Bill had a terrific idea, and
Oliver is happy to be able to help with it. He starts babbling
about a Jack & Jennifer show, or a Jennifer and Jack show,
however they want to call it, a talk show, (Harold is grinning
like a monkey, lol). J&J are shocked, and cannot possibly
consider it, the Spectator is their baby. Vern encourages Jack,
mentioning Tom Brokaw (lol). Oliver brings over his station
manager, Ricardo Diaz, who proceeds to really schmooz the couple
(love all these scenes), as Harold says they will be Salem's
answer to Regis &! ; Kelly, LOLOL Jen says she already had a
failed talk show with Austin Reed, he tells her there was NO
chemistry there, that she & Jack are ex's , soon to be wed.
Jen says yes, they have a wedding to plan, Diaz says lots of
assistants to help. Jen wonders what kind of gift is coming to
her from Bill, since this is a gfit for Jack. Oliver assures them
that every consideration will be made to accommodate them, while
Diaz reminds them they have a message to telll, and it will be
reality TV, the latest happening thing. Vern brings out
Director's chairs with their names on it. Jack & Jen are
still in a state of shock, trying to absorb it all, as Jen asks
Jack if he thinks they could possibly do this.
Salem Hospital
Chloe wakes up, Brady at her side. She looks tired, wan, weak. A
knock at the window is Craig, calling Brady out to the hall.
Brady joins Craig, worried about Chloe, who seems to have lost
her "fighting" spirit. Craig explains that all is well,
and as it should be. She is disease free, the leukemia is gone,
and all is ready. Later, Dr. Herman comes out of Chloe's room,
assuring Craig, Nancy and Brady that everything is fine. They all
go in to see her. Chloe is worried, but Craig reassures her, and
tells her what to expect. They begin to leave, but she wants to
talk to her mom. She first asks about Joy, but then confides how
scared she is. Nancy comforts her, and later, out in the hall,
she is crying as she tells Craig to go talk to Chloe. Brady hugs
Nancy, as Craig goes in to see Chloe. They have a very emotional
talk (advising having a tissue or two handy here), as Chloe
thanks him for everything, asking if anything goes wrong to never
tell Joy, ! as she would not want her to feel she had any part in
anything not going right. She wants to see Joy grow up. Craig
leaves, Brady comes in. He says it will be the last time he can
touch her for a long time, and they both say how they love each
other. Dr. Hermann and a nurse come in. It is time. Out in the
hall, Nancy brings Joy, has Brady hold her, as Craig looks on,
and Chloe watches thru the window.

Episode # 9529
Tape date: Various
Director: Phil Sogard
Sami's mad as hell and not going to take it anymore, Shawn and
Belle's non-sex life continue to be a topic for discussion
everywhere, and Cassie always seems to come out on top of
everything.
Hospital
Sami takes a message from a doctor's wife and comments out loud
that the wife doesn't have a clue he's having an affair. Denise,
a nurse, responds some people can't see what's right in front of
them as she points out Brandon with his Lamaz partner. The gal
hugs Brandon in appreciation of his helping help as Sami vows
that won't last much longer. Sami returns later with George
Thompson from the Pharmacy. She introduces him to Brandon and
"Gwen". Brandon's on to what Sami's up to as alone he
tells Sami he's going to be Gwen's partner. Sami insists George
has had a major crush on Gwen since she's been coming for her
prenatal vitamins. Lexie walks up behind and agrees (for once)
with Sami. He asks to see Sami alone on the terrace. Being a
jerk, he insists on being Gwen's birth coach and Sami had better
get use to it. They return to find George, Lexie and Gwen
chatting and laughing. Gwen thanks Brandon, but George has
volunteered to be her lamaz partner, so she won! 't need him any
more. (this chick doesn't seem to care who wants to share the
most intimate hours of her life with her, does she?) George and
Gwen are thrilled that they both love to collect stamps and drink
peppermint tea as they head to the cafeteria for some. Lexie is
delighted and tells Brandon she won't be seeing him in class
anymore as she strolls off. Sami's happy with the development as
well. Her shift is over and she asks Brandon where they should go
for lunch.
Brady Pub
Shawn drags himself into the pub for breakfast after being up all
night. John joins him, asking how everything is. "Everything
sucks", reports Shawn. John tells him about his call from
Belle wanting to be "alone" with Shawn. Shawn ca't
believe she told him that, but finally tells him nothing happened.
They had a fight and she threw him out. Lisa arrives with his
breakfast and Shawn asks for it to go. He asks John to hold off
his happy dance until he's gone. The two kibitz about it being a
rough couple years and John speculates Belle's the more mature in
the relationship and men have to be patient and not push. Sami (and
Brandon) walk by at that moment and Sami takes a pot shot to John
about how he "waited" for her mom. Brandon pushes her
ahead to their table as Shawn takes his breakfast and leaves.
Shawn stares at Ops who rollerblades in and joins John. Ops gives
John a report on Tony's latest moves. John's confident that
Tony's smooth, but he'll get him! .John asks Ops what gadgets he
has to bypass Tony's new security system. John figures the twins
are the only vulnerable area Tony has and leaves. Sami comments
on John's strange friends as she watches Ops leave after John did.
Brandon tells her to mind her own business (oh yeah, true love
here..NOT!) Sami finally asks what Lexie has that she doesn't?
Claiming she's overreacting, he just wants a rational discussion.
She finally tells him she's not going to put up with him
preferring to be with a married woman over her any more and
rushes out. Lexie strolls past the pub and sees Sami running off.
She walks in and asks Brandon what happened. He admits the
problem is his fault and there's something Sami doesn't know.
Lexie tells him secrets aren't good and she wants him to be as
happy as she is right now.
Hartley House
Belle picks up her room as Mimi arrives, wanting details of
Belle's night with Shawn. A morose Belle reports it to have been
the worst night of her life (gee, wonder why?). Mimi reminds
Belle she had a crush on Shawn at one time and finds that hard to
believe. Belle tells her about his laughing at her days of the
week panties and Mimi can't believe she wore those for such a
special occasion, they had talked about this, remember? (LOL,
good old Meems) She feels that Shawn would have stopped laughing
if Belle had taken them OFF. Belle tells her about the wild party
he had out of town with the team and Mimi figures he had sex with
some bimbo there then? Mimi admits not having enough experience
to counsel Belle about this and Belle agrees, heading home to
talk to Mom. Later, while working on her homework (frustrated),
Rex joins Mimi. He was curious if Cassie was there to pick up her
stuff (no, she's sending the servants Rex, remember?). He
comments on Mimi! 's level headedness and asks her to be Cassie's
friend. Mimi tells him how she and Belle are good friends and
Belle gets along with everyone. He pleads with Mimi to be
Cassie's friend that she can confide with as well. It would mean
so much to him. Being he put it that way, she agrees, hoping they
can be friends as well. Before kissing her, he tells her they are
friends already. Shawn knocks softly and opens the door to find
them kissing. Making noise to interrupt them, he asks if Belle's
there (well duh, does it look like she is Shawn?). Stating the
obvious, Mimi tells him no and tells him how upset Belle was.
Upset that Belle told her, he asks to speak to Mimi alone. Rex
goes to leave, but Shawn tells him Mimi will probably tell him
anyway being she can't keep her big mouth shut. Saying what she
and Rex were doing when he walked in keeps her quiet. Shawn asks
if Belle might have picked a fight with him so they wouldn't have
to have sex. Mimi doesn't think it sounds like B! elle, but maybe
subconsciously it was? She asks Rex, who tells her he has to go
to Shawn for advice on girls (LOL!). Shawn leaves and Mimi asks
where they were? Rex said they've got a problem. Mimi disagrees.
He doesn't want to do anything that will hurt her and look what
happened to Shawn and Belle who are so close. Kissing, Mimi's not
worried about it. Shawn walks into Belle in the hallway (she just
returned from the penthouse below). He wants to talk, but she
walks past him and into her room without saying a word.
Black Penthouse
Marlena offers Cassie some breakfast. She refuses, feeling like
she's under a microscope. Tony arrives and demands she come home,
now. Marlena excuses herself and Tony to talk alone and they go
to the hallway to talk. She tells Tony they need to be calm and
rational. Smiling, he agrees, as they return. Smiling, for about
one minute, he tries to be cordial. Cassie ignores him and he
blows. She goes upstairs and Marlena congratulates him on
becoming a parent. Belle walks in and slams the door when she
sees Tony there. When asked, Marlena tells Belle that Tony's
there to learn about teenagers. Belle runs upstairs, insisting
they'll talk later. Tony hopes Belle will be a good role model
for Cassie being she's so polite. Belle opens her bedroom door
and finds Cassie lying on her bed after having made herself at
home. She tells Belle what happened the night before as Belle
internally fumes. She finally vents about Tony being downstairs
and now Cassie in h! er room. The Dimera's are everywhere!!
Cassie holds Shawn's picture and tells Belle that if Shawn were
HER boyfriend she'd find better things to do then fight, asking
if he's back on the market now? Belle tries to get his picture
back, but Cassie tosses it instead and the two start fighting (physically)
on the bed and floor. Downstairs Tony and Marlena hear the girls
fighting and rush up to break them up. Tony gets Cassie out of
the room and takes her downstairs. Marlena is surprised by
Belle's behavior, but Belle tells her she has to act like that
apparently to get any attention from her. Comforting Cassie by
assuring her she has a whole mansion at her disposal and his love
and devotion, she agrees to go home with him. Marlena comes
downstairs and understands her going home with Tony, but lets
Cassie know she's always welcome to come there as well or call.
Smiling like a Cheshire cat at Belle while hugging Marlena,
Cassie tells her mom they'll talk every day. After Tony an! d
Cassie have left, Marlena asks Belle what she needs to talk to
her a bout. Frustrated her mom doesn't know, Belle leaves as John
is opening the door. Happy to see her, he says hi to "Tink".
Belle tells him never to call her that again! Walking her back
into the room, she lets them know she's not happy to have found
Cassie in her room, on her bed, going through her cd's and
whatever else. John rationalizes about how Cassie got drunk and
in trouble the night before. Surprised that Belle knew about
Cassie's behavior, they're surprised she didn't look out for her
sister. Fuming, (yeah, remember that call she made to you Marlena
asking for your help?) Belle tells them to blame all of Cassie's
problems on her, why not and leaves. Tony and Cassie ride home in

John and Belle are so close. That's what she needs from him too.
John rescues Belle and makes her feel safe. Tony won't promise to
turn himself into John Black, but she'll always be loved and
protected. If Belle Black's nose gets pus! hed out of whack,
that's too damn bad. Cassie laughs at that one.

Sami and Brandon go another round, Brady and Nicole square off in
a war of words, Kate tells Roman 3 little words she never thought
she would, but in a very inappropriate way.
At Sami's Apartment
Last time we saw Sami, she was sitting on her sofa sobbing with
Brandon at the door. She refuses to let him in so he gives her 3
seconds to open the door or he's breaking it down. She hears a
crash and him moaning so she rushes to the door, but he was just
pretending. He comes in and she begins throwing fruit at him. She
finally calms down and he apologizes, trying to convince her that
he loves her and wants to prove it so they start kissing. The
clothes begin to fly, then later, they are lying on the sofa and
Sami informs him that this (sex) doesn't change anything. She
talks about his obsession with Lexie and says she doesn't
understand it, what is he holding back? He tells her that he
feels connected to her baby, which really freaks Sami out. He
asks if she still thinks he is the father? When she doesn't
answer, he tries to explain about being a psychologist and how he
feels that Abe is such as workaholic and won't be able to give
the time needed ! to Lexie and the baby (a bunch of mumbo-jumbo
that I didn't understand at 5:30 am). She says that she can't
help over reacting at the thoughts of something keeping them
apart. He says that will never happen. He suggests they go out
for dinner and while he is showering, she rushes to the phone and
calls Eugenia. She grills her and wants to know if she mentioned
anything to Brandon about the paternity tests. She warns her to
keep her mouth shut.
Over At The Kiriakis Mansion
Brady shows up (at Victor's request) as Nicole flounces through
the foyer, soaking wet in a black bikini, then goes upstairs.
Victor ushers Brady into the den and offers him a job at Titan.
Brady can't believe what he just heard, but his grandfather is
persistent. Victor explains that Philip never had any interest in
the business and hopes that Brady can take it over some day. He
promises that he can write his own ticket, as Nicole eavesdrops
from the hall, growing madder by the second. Brady says he needs
time to think it over and Victor leaves. As Brady goes to leave,
he is headed off by Nicole (who now has a robe on). She jumps him
and accuses him of trying to steal "her" company. She
calls him a kiss-ass and accuses him of taking advantage of an
old man. (Boy, is that the pot calling the kettle black or what?)
They argue back and forth and he has had enough and goes to leave.
She grabs him by the arm and tells him that he doesn't have ! the
kahoonas to run Titan. She says that he learned everything he
knows from Kate (as much as she despises the woman), she DOES
know how to run a business. She says that Brady only got his job
because of Daddy and the only thing he is good for is to collect
a paycheck. She tells him that Kate is the motor behind Basic
Black, he is only a hood ornament. The continue to argue and he
calls her a "hausfrau" and she says all he will ever be
is a glorified "gofer". She gives him 3 months to fall
flat on his face. He retorts with "well, at least I won't
have to sleep my way to the top like you did". She goes to
slap his face and he grabs her arm and her robe falls open. (Not
sure if it is her black underwear or the black bikini she had on
earlier. I didn't get a very good look, LOL, but Brady sure does!)
Brady suggests that Victor have her de-clawed and she snaps that
HE should be neutered. She is furious and says that he should
treat her with respect in HER house. He says "Okay, GRAN!
DMA!" (ROFLMAO!!!) She orders him out and he points out THAT
is what h e has been TRYING to do all along. She follows him to
the door, yelling for him to go to hell. He says he is going to
the hospital to see a REAL lady with REAL problems. She calms
down for a second and asks how Chloe is. He asks what does she
care and as he leaves, calls her a gold digging shrew and storms
off.
At The Cop Shop
Bo and Roman are getting ready for their stake-out, hoping it
will all lead to Palmer. Kate worries when she sees Roman pull
out his gun. Roman is flattered that she is so worried about him
and he tries to assure her that he will be safe. Bo and Hope
excuse themselves to the hall, but Hope keeps an eye on Kate and
Roman. Hope tells Roman it's obvious how much Kate cares for
Roman and just wishes she would tell him. Bo warns her, no
matchmaking. Kate and Roman go into Abe's office (as she has
something to tell him). She dances all around it, but chickens
out and doesn't tell him that she loves him, only to be careful.
After Roman and Bo leave, Hope can see how worried Kate is and
invites her over to her house. Kate has flashbacks of her and
Roman (especially the night with the handcuffs). After Hope puts
Zack down for his nap (she explains that he went to the zoo with
his grandparents), she can see that Kate is a bundle of nerves
and offers tea. Hope has ! an idea and gets a police band radio
so they can listen to Bo and Roman and know what is going on. She
talks about how they have radio "handles" and that hers
used to be "Fancy Face". She questions Kate as to what
HER handle would be and asks if Roman has any pet names for her.
She can't think of any but tells Hope about the handcuffs, so
they work with that. Kate doesn't like the names "cuffs"
or "manacles" so she settles on "Bracelets".
They talk about Roman and Hope advises her to just be honest with
him and let him know how he feels. They hear Roman on the radio
and listen.
Bo and Roman are in the car watching the house and Bo thanks him
for his help. A car pulls up as Bo takes pictures. Later, Bo
chides Roman about Kate and asks where they stand. Bo hears
Hope's voice on the radio and she asks what is going on. Bo gives
her an update and we see a couple of cops listening in at the
station. Bo says they are going in and Kate grabs the mic from
Hope telling them not to. "Bracelets" tells Roman that
she has something to say, to be careful (for about the 4th time
now). A crowd has gathered around the radio now at the station (don't
they have anything better to do?) Kate is silent for a moment
then blurts out "I Love You". Roman looks a snickering
Bo and asks if this is an open channel. Laughing, Bo nods. By now
everyone at the station is laughing as a female cop says "Oh,
I love you too, Bracelets". Roman snaps at Kate to sign off,
DAMMIT. After he cuts her off, he tells Bo he will need to call
her later and explain. But back at the Brady house,! it's too
late as a hurt Kate tells Hope that it's over and storms out of
the house. Back in the car, Bo sees an opportunity and tells
Roman he is going in. He takes off, with Roman in pursuit yelling
for him not to without backup, as it fades to black.
