Episode # 9613
Tape Date: Various
Director: Roger Inman
Bo's search for Hope leads him to an Indian Reservation, Shawn
eavesdrops to find out that Rex is onto something big, Sami and
Lucas hang out at DiMansion, as Cassie does what she does best
and stirs up trouble all over town.
Lucas & Sami Go To DiMansion
Lucas needs to make a phone call for Tony. He is trying to
persuade Sami to give up her latest scheme against Victor, but (being
Sami) she won't listen. Lucas is really sweet with her and tries
to encourage her as he gets really close to telling her how he
really feels, but covers, saying he cares because he is Will's
father. This reminds Sami that Will sent her something from
summer camp that he made as a get well present. They chuckle as
they try to figure out what it actually is. Lucas goes to make
the call as Cassie comes storming in to the den.
Earlier, Cassie had been upstairs with Rex who is stressing over
being the one to take over the DiMera empire. He congratulates
her over the charges being dropped, but she whines and moans
about the community service part as Rex reminds her that it is
better than jail time. She tells him that Roman testified on her
behalf, which they find ironic. She asks what he is up to and
then starts getting personal (when she sees Mimi's picture),
teasing him about Mimi and asking if he is in love with her. She
advises him to forget about her. He tells Cassie that he has a
sample of the substance (she refers to it as the GOOP) and is
running tests on it. Cassie warns him that it is only a matter of
time before Sami tells the truth about them and that he should be
more worried about THAT.
Back to Sami and Cassie, she comes in and they immediately get
into an argument, ending with Cassie getting mad and storming off.
Lucas comes in asking what that was all about. He says that
Cassie is probably just jealous of Sami. Sami almost spills the
beans about the twins but covers. Now, it's Rex's turn, as he
comes in asking to speak to Lucas privately. He tells Lucas about
the substance and wants to take control of the project and the
DiMera bank accounts. Bart returns from the prison (after
unsuccessfully trying to talk with Maya). Lucas tells Rex no,
that he is in charge while Tony is incapacitated. Rex storms out
as Sami taunts him about Lucas putting him in his place. She
tells him to leave Lucas alone or she will tell the truth.
Meanwhile, Over At The Loft
Shawn and Belle arrive to find Mimi there with a suitcase packed,
planning to leave town for a while. But they have one of
Caroline's banana cream pies (which she forced them to take) so
Mimi decides to stay for a piece. Shawn tries to call his dad,
but can't get through. Belle serves up the pie (which we actually
see each of them take a few bites!). Mimi is really upset with
herself as Belle tries to change her mind about leaving, telling
her to stay and fight for Rex.
Cassie comes barging in uninvited, much to Belle's dismay. She
gives Mimi her picture back, telling her to back off from Rex.
They go at it as Mimi calls Cassie a reject and Cassie calls her
trash. Belle tries to play referee, stepping in between them,
telling Cassie to shut up. She informs them that because of Mimi,
Rex is holed up in his room doing some strange dangerous
experiment on some strange substance (as Shawn's ears perk up
over this). He decides to go over and visit with Rex and leaves.
Belle tries in vain to get Cassie to leave, but she just
continues to insult Mimi, calling her an alley cat and talking
about how she used to live on the street. Belle goes to get Mimi
some tissues (big mistake) as Cassie continues to torment her.
Mimi calls Cassie a fraud but promises not to tell (about them
not being DiMeras) for Rex's sake. Mimi starts into her as Cassie
calmly picks up the pie with an evil look on her face. Belle
returns and gets the pie from her, but Cassie grabs Mimi by the
hair and they go at it.
Shawn rushes over to DiMansion and eavesdrops on Rex as he makes
notes on his recorder. He learns that it is some type of natural
liquid explosive. Shawn leaves (without Rex ever knowing he was
there) and tries to call his dad outside, but leaves a message.
He hurries back to the loft (which must be right next door)
because he gets there just in time to help Belle separate Mimi
and Cassie. They break them up and Belle tells Cassie to leave
and go home, for the umpteenth time. But as a parting shot, she
makes fun of Belle's sketches (which are on the table) and tells
her that she has an ugly apartment. Mimi suggests that Belle
design an outfit for Cassie (for the fashion show) in prison
stripes (ROFL). After Cassie leaves, Shawn tells them what he
learned and it worries Mimi, who goes over to check on him.
Shawn is worried about his folks as Belle chatters on about the
fashion show. She is trying to think of an extraordinary place to
have it and calls Kate, who is going to meet her there (we don't
hear where). Later, Shawn wants to know, saying they shouldn't
keep secrets (as Belle remembers telling Mimi about the kiss with
Philip). She tells him (off camera) what her idea is and he
thinks it's awesome. She goes upstairs to change (to meet with
Kate) as he tries again to call Bo, but can't get through.
Back To DiMansion
While Rex was in talking (no arguing) with Lucas, Sami was
listening at the door and Cassie came in. They immediately get
into another spat. After Rex and Bart leave, Sami goes into the
den with Lucas. Cassie curses the fact that Sami got her voice
back and storms up the stairs. Sami overhears Lucas on the phone
talking about the substance and wants to know more about it. He
skirts the issue and she begins to talk about the power struggle
between him and Rex. She says that her money is on Lucas, he has
winner written all over him. Lucas says that he needs to take her
home, to bed, which catches her off guard. He back tracks, saying
that she needs to get her rest. He offers to take her home, but
she says first there is somewhere she wants to go, and wants him
to go with her, so they leave together.
Rex goes upstairs to find Mimi. She tells him that Cassie told
her what he was doing and was worried about him. She goes to
leave, but he tries to explain. Mimi is tired of hearing it, but
he kisses her, softening her resolve. Later, they are in bed
professing their love for each other. She asks him what he would
do if he had to choose between her and the DiMera trappings. He
can't give her an answer. But she got her answer, so she gets
dressed and leaves.
In Search Of Hope
Bo arrives in a store on an Indian Reservation. He starts showing
her picture around and meets the manager "Cree". They
talk and Bo learns that he met with Maya a few months ago, and
that his grandmother and Maya's grandmother (I think) were
friends and that Maya's mother was actually born on the
reservation. Bo questions him about why they met and the
coordinates but he plays dumb. He shows him a picture of Hope and
pleads with him but comes up empty. Bo notices the security
cameras and asks if he can view the tapes. He lets him do that
and Bo spots Hope on them and asks who the girl was with her. A
lady speaks up, saying that Hope left with Belinda (the leader of
some local teen gang or something like that). They supposedly
headed out to the old caverns. Bo wants Cree to take him there,
but he is frightened. Bo threatens to call the authorities so
Cree finally agrees to take him there as they leave, and the
previews roll.
Preview:
Kate asks Brady to be a model for the fashion show (Philip and
Victor are in the background) as she turns to Nicole and says she
hopes she doesn't feel left out, but they have younger, fresher
girls for models. Nicole says that she has better things to do
with her time. Belle is saying that this fashion show is going to
be fantastic! Bo and Hope are with Cree as Bo tells him that he
is too honorable to be dealing with the DiMeras. Cree tells them
that no one is going to stop him as he pulls out a gun.

Episode # 9614
Tape Date: Various
Director: Phil Sogard
Bo joins Hope and they're in danger again, Jack and Jen discuss
In the House programming and agree to do the
fashion show, Sami & Lucas go to the hospital to see Tony and
Victor gets company.
At The Deveraux's, Abby's off at camp and Jack, wearing a
robe, surprises Jennifer with candlelight and wine (hurray!). Jen
comes downstairs with a surprise of her own. The two are relieved
they have the next day off and agree they've missed investigative
reporting, their true calling (YES!). The doorbell rings and
while Jack doesn't want to get it, Jen said it's her surprise and
rushes to get it as Jack blows out the candles. It's Kate and
Belle there with an idea (any guesses what they want televised?)
Jack decides their house is too small for a fashion show, but the
gals figure Oliver will let them use the studio if they agree
being it's a charity event and good publicity for the studio.
They convince him and Belle and Kate leave to take care of the
details for the next day's show (hello, Belle hasn't even
finished the designs, much less they haven't been made or fitted
yet, LOL). Jen tells Jack to relight the candles and although he
claims he can't be bought, she knows otherwise ;-) as she kisses
him. Jack is not happy with the show, but Jen asks him to wait
until after the fashion show and things will change. No more
powder puff stories she promises. After the show he's a free man
to investigate more in depth stories.
Bikini Clad Nicole decides to go swimming and finds Brady at
the pool. She asks if he's a voyeur and insulted, he declares
always treating her with respect and turns to leave. She
apologizes and thanks him for firing the bartender. He said the
guy was stealing liquor as well, it wasn't just because of her.
She changes her mind about the swim and goes back inside.
Philip (The Prodigal Son As Vic Calls Him) arrives home
from boot camp and offers to take his father out for Mousakka. He
tells his father it was the best decision he's ever made joining
the marines. Victor knows something is bothering Philip and
guesses it's Belle Black. He tells his son to go after Belle if
she's the one he wants, but Philip explains Belle loves Shawn. If
that's the case, stay clear of her Vic said, don't let her break
your heart like Chloe did. Philip gets upset and asks his father
why he dumped his mother for Nicole and how his home is more like
a tomb now. Clearly neither he or Nicole love each other. Kate
enters the room as Philip mentions to Victor he knows about his
and Nicole's separate bedrooms and said it took years for them to
get to that point. Henderson let her in and she came to see
Philip about his modeling the next day. Brady and Nicole enter
separately and Kate asks Brady to model as well while Nicole
heads for the bar. She tells Nicole they have younger and fresher
models, so not asking her to. Nicole has better things to do
anyway and Brady agrees to model as he doesn't want to leave
Uncle Phil on the runway alone. Philip wants Nicole invited and
Kate agrees. Philip asks Nicole and she agrees to model as well.
Philip leaves after telling his mother the bad news. Now alone,
Victor discusses Roman being jealous of him (to Kate) and she
tells him Roman understands they share a son. Victor asks Kate if
she honestly feels she and Roman are right for each other. He's
happy for her if so and she hopes someday he'll find happiness
too.
Brady (in his baggy swim pants..how come the women wear bikinis
and the guys knee length baggies when 90% of viewers are mostly
women?) goes for a dip in the pool. Nicole arrives and fantasizes
swimming up to Brady and almost kissing before he talks to her.
He tells her they can rehearse their moves, for the fashion show.
He gets out of the pool and shows her his walk and she tells him
not to quit his day job and pushes him in the pool as they start
splashing each other.
Sami & Lucas return to the hospital to find Lexie
distraught, saying Tony's lost the will to live (he's in a coma,
how does she know that?). Lexie doesn't understand Sami's name
being on the visitor's list and Lucas tells her he put it on
there, per Tony's instructions. Lexie figures Rex should be in
charge being he's family, not Lucas. Sami makes a noise at that
comment, but covers. Sami tells Lexie how she and Tony have
gotten closer since her accident and shows her the necklace Tony
gave her as proof. The two argue about Tony's feelings about Sami
and Lexie enjoys telling Sami again how Tony helped her show
Brandon her true colors. Sami says "I'll kill you" to
Lexie, but Lucas holds her back. Lexie heads off to order the
doctor to prevent Sami visiting Tony. Sami wants to go sit with
Tony, but Lucas stops her and reminds her coma patients can sense
visitors and their moods and suggests they talk about Will's
homecoming. Sami brightens a bit, saying Will's enjoyed his camp
experience. Commenting on how well their son's turned out, Lucas
tells her maybe they have a chance together after all. Sami's a
little surprised at that admission. Lucas wants to take her home
to rest, but she refuses and wants to stay with him, so they head
for Tony's.
Bo & Cree get to the cave where Hope and the two girls
are. Hope is happy to see Bo, wondering what took him so long. He
explains the longitude and latitude info he got and never got her
message she left him. Cree gets the girls out to a waiting car he
arranged and rejoins them over the bubbling lava. He stops Bo
from getting near saying it's powerful stuff. He tells them about
needing money for medical help as many of his tribe have a rare
blood disorder and Maya (who's part Cree) offered to buy that
portion of the land. He wanted diamonds instead of money as being
it's a reservation, they can't sell it (hey, build a casino and
you'll make lots of money, haha). Bo explains why he hadn't heard
from Tony or Maya (did Hope know about Tony being stabbed before
she left? She didn't seem surprised he was in hospital). Cree
didn't know how to have the stuff tested, so Bo steps out to call
someone on his cell to arrange it. He returns after making
arrangements and tells them Shawn found out that the stuff is
more powerful then dynamite (he must have called Shawn as Shawn's
message only said it was dangerous, hope he asked how Zack was
doing). Cree feels he has to sell to help his people and can't
worry about anyone else. He surprises them by pulling out a gun.
Belle's At The Brady Pub working on last minute details
for the show. Caroline joins her and delivers a present left for
Belle. Belle reads the card. It's from Philip wishing her good
luck with the fashion show. He gave her a video monitor so she
can watch the show from backstage and make adjustments as needed.
Lexie arrives to pick up a take out order from the pub and Belle
asks how Tony's doing. Belle offers to help with Theo or any
other way she needs and tells her she would have offered to have
her in the fashion show, but because of Tony, didn't. Lexie
admits wanting to do it and accepts.
Philip joins Belle at the pub. She figures Shawn will be upset
about the monitor and they talk about it. She isn't going to tell
Shawn about the monitor and leaves as Philip puts his hand on
hers.
Later At DiMansion, Sami brings Lucas some ice tea and he
tells her about wanting to finish the deal for Tony. Cree calls
to tell Lucas he's willing to sell to Tony alone being Maya's in
prison. Lucas agrees to negotiate and Cree demands that no one
will stop him from making this deal. He insists on getting the
money in 24 hrs or the deal's off and he'll sell to someone else.
He'll call Lucas back. He returns to the cave and we see he's
tied Bo and Hope up. They stop struggling with the ropes when
Cree returns and he tells them the deal is in the works when
asked. Hope asks what he's going to do with them as he holds the
gun, trying to decide.
Preview:
Belle tells Shawn she's only interested in one guy, and that's
him. Shawn never thought otherwise and asked why she'd say
something like that. Sami's in a bikini and asks Lucas about that
midnight swim, he says "after you", as they lean in for
a kiss, (guess she's off her pain meds as she's walking, talking
so well and now going for a swim?). Hope tells Bo they're
destined to be together, but Bo replies unless they don't make it
out of there, as lightning bolts radiate in Hope's eyes and the
credits roll.

Episode #9615
Tape date : Various
Director : Roger Inman
Kate & Belle take a break from preparations for the fashion
show, Sami & Lucas get closer, while Bo & Hope solve
their dilemma.
At Basic Black Roman & Shawn arrive to see
Kate & Belle, & are not put off by Secretary Sherri's
refusal to let them in. They brush past her, burst in on a
surprised & frustrated Kate & Belle. Both guys want the
gals to take a coffee break, & they horse around a bit (Shawn
tries on a boa decorated negligee, lol) but the gals are much too
rushed, and decide the guys can help out. They make them put on a
couple of outfits so the seamstress can make alterations, etc.
Roman, in silk P.J.'s, pipe clenched between his teeth, yep,
definitely going for the Hugh Hefner look, while Shawn seems to
be in a pair of shorts, his shirt is open, but still on. Belle
claims they just did 10 hours of work in two and all decide to
take that "break".
Belle & Shawn go up to Lookout Point, spread a blanket,
stargaze for a bit, talking of putting some stars on a pair of P.J.'s,
preferably in neon. They snuggle, talk a bit, mention Phil, which
is Belle's chance to show Shawn the hand held monitor Phil gave
her. A jealous Shawn wishes Phil would stay on his Marine base
and get some new buddies, staying out of their lives. Belle
assures him she loves only him. They kiss, get hot & heavy,
break away, with Belle mentioning their rings, & Shawn asking
if there is anything in the Purity rule book that says they
cannot take them off. Belle wants to wait, Shawn agrees, and they
snuggle once more.
Meanwhile, Roman takes Kate to the bedroom, which disappoints
her, but he has other ideas, and gives her a shoulder massage. As
they talk, she mentions her bad day, and going over to Victor's
to see Philip, telling how she & Vic got into a conversation,
and talked about Roman & Kate. Now it is Roman's turn to be
jealous, Kate's to get a bit ticked. She tries to leave, Roman
grabs her in a big kiss, & she responds in kind.
At DiMansion Lucas is checking on Tony by phone, then tells
Sami there has been no change. They talk of the "purchase"
Lucas is going to make on Tony's behalf, & Sami is clearly
impressed. Cree calls, worried about the money. Tells him there
are 2 people there who have discovered the source, are currently
restrained. Lucas tells him he will come with the money &
diamonds, & will send a good faith payment right away. He
says he will take care of the 2 people. After he hangs up, Sami
wonders if Lucas would really kill the two people, but Lucas
assures her, no. Sami decides she wants to come with him, Lucas
thinks she is working with Rex to keep an eye on him, but Sami
laughs that one off. They argue a bit, he says she cannot come,
she has to be safe, sends her home as he has calls to make and
then wants to take a dip in the pool. Sami leaves, but outside,
gets a bright idea.
Later, as Lucas comes down in swim trunks, he opens the door to
the library, to see Sami standing in her bikini (she keeps a
beach bag in her car in case Will wants to suddenly visit the
water slide, pretty funny since they already said Will is at
camp, has been for a while, lolol) Lucas is one happy camper, as
he looks at her. Heheheheh. Sami has a different scarf around her
neck now, as Erin comes in asking if they'd like a drink. Lucas
says he'd love a vodka tonic, but is only kidding as he orders a
couple of iced teas. Sami says she knows he must still get
tempted, asks if he still goes to AA, he says yes. They have
really nice conversation, talking of how they both have changed,
how Lucas worried so much ever since her accident, seeing her
down, all that blood. Sami says the same has happened to her.
They talk a bit more, Erin brings in the iced teas, and they
start out towards the pool. As Lucas touches Sami's back, she
turns, they step in closer to each other, Lucas bends down, (no
dream here, folks) and as their lips are about º inch away from
each other, the scenes fades out! What a gyp!
In The Cave Bo & Hope struggle to free themselves from
their ropes as they talk about the struggles they have had over
the years to be together. We get a series of flashbacks, first
to Bo trying to convince Hope that he really loves her, & why
he had to leave, and he has come to rescue her on her wedding day
(to Larry Welch). We even see the ride on the motorcycle. Then
that unforgettable scene of Hope in the cage over the vat of
acid, screaming Bo's name, as it explodes, Hope telling Bo she
knows he could not be J.T.'s father, having done the math, aboard
the Fancy Face after Larry tried to kill them, and they thought
Bo had killed him, & Hope begging Bo for another chance to be
together. Back to the present, as they continue to try & free
themselves. Bo finally succeeds, cuts Hope loose, & they talk
of what they can do to stop Tony from getting his hands on the
substance. Bo wishes he could write a check for a million dollars
to give to Cree, Hope gets a brainstorm, takes the phone, goes
out, makes a call, returning to say it all worked. Gran to the
rescue. All proceeds from the fashion show will go to the
reservation, and Gran will see to it the Horton Foundations will
allot funds to get a clinic built on the reservation.
Bo & Hope go to the Indian store, (it is closed, dark, but
evidently not locked) and he goes to storage room to see if there
is anything he can use. She remains behind, looking at items on
the clothes rack, in the dark. The light snaps on, and the little
girl is there, having come for milk. Hope gets it for her,
promising to tell her the story about the bears again tomorrow.
Hope ducks down, as Cree comes in, telling the little girl her
mother is very worried, & he will take her home. They leave
& Bo comes out w/a box. They return to the cave, where Bo
makes a sort of home made bomb. They want to blow up the cave,
thus sealing it off. The fuse is not quite long enough, Hope
won't leave, so Bo says, when I light it, run like the blazes. He
lights the fuse, we see the fire running the length, Bo &
Hope running out of the cave, as it explodes. We then see Cree
saying NO!
Preview:
Rex asking Marlena for help, as he is afraid something is
really wrong with him. Brady throwing something (a CD??) down in
anger just as a surprised Nicole walks into the room behind him.
Lucas asks Sami... why don't you just leave things alone, as Sami
asks if he's threatening her.

Tape date : 7/16/03
Director : Randy Robbins
Nicole proves that she actually has a heart in a meaningful talk
with Brady, Abe and Lexie make plans for a romantic evening as
Celeste has a psychic moment, Rex turns to Marlena for help, John
informs Philip that he is out of the ISA, Lucas learns who is
responsible for ruining his deal.
At The Kiriakis Mansion
Brady is looking through a stack of CD's and angrily throws one
to the floor, just as Nicole walks in. It was a CD that he made
for Chloe when she was sick and he just didn't need to see that
today of all days. He pulls out an article that he printed from
the internet about her international debut, where she got glowing
reviews. He is upset that she didn't call or that he has heard
nothing from her since she left. Nicole asks if he is still in
love with Chloe. They talk a while about how he sacrificed by
letting Chloe go but he was in the hopes that that they would
someday be together. Brady says that she just doesn't understand
and she agrees, saying that she has never been in love before
herself. Brady asks if she ever loved Victor and she says that
she thought she did, but things change. Brady points out that
Victor said the same thing. Brady apologizes for upsetting her as
she heads up to bed. She comes back and tells him that she
admires him for what he did for Chloe and that she hopes that
someday he will find someone that would sacrifice as much for him.
At The Carver Place
Abe and Lexie both arrive home at the same time and meet up
outside and share a kiss. Inside, Celeste is flipping through a
photo album and has an attack of some kind. Needing some air, she
stumbles outside to find Abe and Lexie kissing. They can
immediately see that something is wrong with her as all head back
inside. She tells them that she just had a strange feeling but
can't explain it. Lexie thinks that it involves Tony at first,
but Celeste assures her that it has nothing to do with the
DiMeras. She assures them that it's probably nothing to worry
about, but as she leaves, she pauses outside with a concerned
look on her face. Abe and Lexie go upstairs to check on Theo and
then later, enjoy some alone time as they talk and dance to some
quiet music. She talks about how lucky she is to have such a
wonderful life and how she doesn't deserve all this. They kiss as
Abe sweeps her up and carries her upstairs.
At The Hospital
Philip meets up with John, who doesn't have good news. Philip is
out of the ISA and will finish up his time in the Marines. Philip
threatens to carry on without the support of the ISA. John warns
him to give it up as they raise their voices and John tells him
to stay away from the DiMeras. Philip asks him why he changed his
direction concerning the DiMeras as John tells him that he just
has a different approach, and suggests that he do the same. John
leaves to go and see Marlena.
Meanwhile, Rex has dropped by to see Marlena. She thinks he is
there to see Tony, but he tells her that he is there to see her,
saying he thinks that there is something wrong with him. He tells
her about the headaches and mood swings and asks for her help.
They talk about Cassie's recent behavior as Marlena believes that
Cassie acts out on her emotions, where as Rex holds them inside,
causing him problems. She comforts him as he tells her about
losing Mimi and not wanting to hurt Marlena as well. He tells her
that he needs to be in control and thought he could handle it all
himself, but is finding that he can't. She suggests that he have
a complete physical work up to see if there are any physical
problems, but he says that no one can help him. He says something
about telling Mimi things and is afraid that she will tell all
his secrets (just as John walks up). Marlena gives Rex the
doctor's name and asks him to make an appointment. With hugs and
an "I love you" he is gone! After he leaves, John asks
what that was all about, but Marlena can't say. John reminds her
that Rex is his step-son as well as his nephew (whew!) and that
he is worried about him as well. She tells him about the
headaches and mood swings. John asks her what Rex meant about the
secrets, but she says she doesn't know. She only hopes that she
can help him. Later, John and Marlena arrive in their bedroom,
the lights are dim and there are candles and they begin kissing.
Rex stops by the nurses station and makes an appointment (as
Marlena suggested) and then runs into Philip. They talk briefly
and then Rex tells him that he'll see him tomorrow at the fashion
show. After he leaves, Philip calls him "trouble" and
says that he will put him where he belongs.
At DiMansion
Sami and Lucas are interrupted by Erin, telling Lucas he has a
phone call. It's Cree, informing him about the explosion at the
caves. As Lucas rants, Sami slips out into the foyer and eaves
drops on the extension out there. Lucas and Cree argue as Lucas
accuses him of trying to pull a fast one. He tells him about a
man and woman (who seem to be agents of some kind) blowing up the
cave. While she is listening, Sami sneezes and Lucas realizes she
is listening in. Lucas asks Cree if he has photos of the people
and tells him to fax them to him. Lucas comes out of the den with
a Kleenex, asking Sami why she plays her stupid games, and to
leave things alone. She says that he needs her help. He laughs at
her, asking if she even has a high school diploma and wonders how
she could help him. She asks how they are going to fix this. He
says he doesn't need her help as they talk about goals and she
talks about wanting financial independence. He says that being
rich can be a handicap as well but Sami doesn't believe that. She
decides it is time for her to leave and after she is gone, Erin
comes in with a fax for Lucas from Cree. It is a photo of Hope in
the store. He slams it down asking "Why Hope, why did you
and your macho man have to ruin EVERYTHING??"
Preview:
The fashion show is in full swing as we see flashes of Cassie,
Nicole, Lexie, Sami, Philip, Marlena, Shawn, Brady and John all
on the runway. Then we see a fight between Rex and Philip as
Shawn and John are trying to break them up. Lucas (with Sami at
his side) is ranting to Bo and Hope that his job is to make sure
his boss looks good. Bo says that it doesn't help that his boss
is in a coma. Victor (at his home, NOT the fashion show) is
looking at something, then grabs his chest and falls over. Belle
yells "OH MY GOD" and begins screaming.

Episode #9617
Tape date : Various
Director : Stephen Wyman
The Salemites strut their stuff modeling Belle's fashions for
charity, Victor decides to give his marriage a second chance, but
will it be too late?, Sami sees Lucas in another light, then the
lights go out and two people are hurt.
The Fashion show is here as Jack is frustrated as Kate
brings a fashion change for them to announce. Jen calms him down
as he kids with her about the French terms used for the apparel.
Nicole & Brady head out for the fashion show as Victor
stops them. Brady defends her modeling in the show, but Victor
tells him to butt out and step aside. Privately Vic reminds
Nicole how she killed Colin and she won't be showing her assets
off to Salem. She leaves upset and Brady asks why she lets his
grandfather treat her like that. He tells his grandfather he's a
stone cold son of a b**ch. He's lost respect for his grandfather,
saying he's nicer to the pool cleaner. He asks how Victor didn't
think he'd notice Victor's rudeness to his wife when he asked him
to move in. Wouldn't he rather live in harmony and peace. If he
doesn't, that bitterness will kill him and who would even care.
Victor is surprised at Brady's wisdom and tells Nicole she can go
to the fashion show and when she returns, they'll talk about the
future of their marriage, perhaps putting the past to rest.
Nicole grabs Brady and leaves before Victor changes his mind.
At The show Cassie loves the boa and sexy bikini she's
wearing. She and Belle get into it as Belle counts down to 10 to
calm down as Shawn joins her. She tells him Cassie's a size
"0" and how annoying Cassie's been. Belle's nervous and
worried about girls that'll chase after Shawn as he confirms his
love is only for her and sealed with a kiss. Phil sadly observes
this and joins Cassie (who's even got a jewel in her belly button.)
She thinks the sheer cover looks like the girl next door number,
but he likes it. They talk about his feelings for Belle as Kate
shoos him to wardrobe. Kate tells Cassie she's not her son's type
and when asked how she knows, calls it "mommy's intuition".
To herself, Cassie is glad Kate doesn't know she's her mother and
will never know (a sure clue the opposite will happen). Philip
returns to ask Cassie to get a latte together after the show. She
tells him she's busy and when another guy asks her out 5 seconds
later, she readily accepts, knowing Philip will overhear.
Rejected, he asks Belle to reassure his studliness as he watches
Cassie. Belle does so and tells him not to even think about being
interested in Cassie. (does Philip ever listen to anyone?)
John and Marlena are ready to model and having fun, kissing away.
Rex arrives and Marlena is happy to see him, but he's short with
her as Belle grabs him to get changed..
Bo & Hope are at the pub with their token 5 minutes
with Zack. They brought him back a tom tom. Lucas confronts them
about what they did to the cave and how his big deal (literally)
blew up. Trying to explain how they saved people from getting
hurt, he's upset that he looks like a loser.
Lucas Leaves to pub and goes to see Alice (who looks
lovely with her hair and makeup done and beautiful green blouse...
guess she doesn't even go to the fashion show??). She asks him to
say a few words for the Horton family at the fashion show and he
softly asks if she knows about his working for Tony. She does
know. He admits he'd choose money and power if offered. She tells
him her Tom had that AND love. He tells her Grandpa was lucky to
have had her. She tells him that if he believes in himself he can
have it all too. He feels Grandpa's shoes are too big for him to
follow. He needs someone besides his grandma to believe in him.
Sami Arrives To Visit Tony at the hospital to visit Tony
and runs into Rex. They do their usual meet and greet routine
with her threatening to tell and his ranting about her after his
father for the money. She warns him to get ready to trade in his
designer shirt for one with a blue collar. He lurks and follows
her as she threatens him that she'll tell on him if he doesn't
leave her alone and heads for the fashion show. He calls Mimi on
the payphone and gets her voicemail. He needs her so much and
asks her to call back.
The Fashion Show
Jen and Jack start the show for the "sleepwear designs"
as models strut their stuff. No one announces the models and they
quickly do a smile, turn and walk off. (I'm no fashion guru, so
describing the outfits best I can, ha!) First is the pajama line,
starting with Cassie (wearing sleeveless top and long pants) and
Philip in tank top and boxers. Shawn walks out (amidst girl
screams, haha) in long green silk pj bottoms, Sami next in tank
top and long lounge pants. Lexie in sleeveless top and long pants
(carrying a teddy bear) and Rex in knee length loose pants (who
obviously doesn't want to be there), Bo and Hope (sure glad their
outfits fit them, huh?) are next. He's in matching pj tops and
bottom (tropical type print) and she's wearing matching full
length bottoms and white tank top. John and Marlena come next in
long silk robe and pjs. His black (duh) and hers white. They walk
out, turn and she walks off as he hams it up (way too cute) as he
opens his robe and even lowers his shirt off the shoulder,
ROFLMAO!! Marlena walks back and walks him off. Nicole and Brady
walk out next as he's in robe and long pj bottoms (but shirtless
as he opens his robe to show). She's in top and length pants and
hair in ponytails. She pushes her teddy bear at his bear chest
and walks him off, ha. Jack and Jen take center stage as they
talk about buying Bo's and Nicole's outfit for each other to wear
and then Jen introduces her brother Lucas to speak on the Horton
Foundation's behalf after saying the 800# for people to call and
donate is run across the screen. He reads the first few lines
from an index card about the money earned will go to the Crees
and then how the Dimera Foundation will donate $500,000 to this
cause. Sami's startled and touched reaction is shown on the
screen as she pictures their almost kiss. She's impressed with
his generosity. Rex storms over and pushes Sami aside. He can't
believe Lucas threw millions of his father's money away. Lucas
shows him the fax of Hope and Bo's picture and say THEY blew the
deal, not him. Rex figures he would have gotten the deal. Rex
threatens to make the people pay who lost Tony's deal for him.
Nicole remembers her fantasy about Brady and Victor laughing at
her background as Brady calls her name and saying she looks
beautiful. She's in a small 2 piece red top and panties, feeling
cheap. Brady tells her to get out of that outfit.
Jack and Jen announce the next phase of the show and the first
few models names. First is Hope in a full length white silk gown
and robe (beautiful), Lexie Carver in camisole mauve top and knee
length skirt, Sami Brady in white camisole top and pants (she
leans and blows a kiss), Cassie Dimera in her bra/panties and
long sheer robe (interesting she was wearing that in beginning of
show, then changed into first outfit she modeled and back into
this one..hmmm) Nicole comes out wearing Brady's long sleeve pj
top as Jack comments how sexy it is to see a woman wearing your
shirt. Brady (just wearing the red bottoms) is standing next to
Belle who's watching the monitor, confused as to Nicole's not
wearing the other outfit. He reassures her he can't explain, but
it was the right thing to do. Philip goes to the dressing room
and looks into Rex's bag, only to be caught by Rex himself.
At Home, Vic Is Watching The Fashion Show and sees Nicole
model (and wink) wearing Brady's shirt. He turns off the tv and
goes to his safe behind a mirror (which has a hand scanner to
open it) and takes out a manila folder. Nico arrives and Victor
tells him he's going to destroy the evidence that Nicole killed
Colin and move on with his life. He tells Nico his grandson woke
him up and he's going to give his marriage a second chance.
Victor dismisses Nico and has chest pains. He collapses on the
floor and the couch as the folder falls to the floor with all the
evidence against Nicole.
The Show Continues as Nicole thanks Brady for his help.
Hope and Bo thank Lucas for his donation and support as Sami
watches, impressed (now in bikini top and pants.) They hear a
noise and Bo rushes to investigate. John and Shawn are breaking
up Rex and Philip from fighting. Bo holds Rex as Philip claims
his innocence, supposedly looking for his own bag when Rex walked
in (give it up Philip, you're not ISA material). John is silently
wise to what happened, and Rex pulls away from Bo, who calls him
on the internal anger he's carrying. Rex sneers back with "ya
think?". Kate pushes Bo as he's next to model and Cassie's
worried about what's happening to Rex.
Jack & Jen announce beach wear fashions. Bo and Hope
arrive (her in swim top and sarong and him in pants and shirt) as
Rex watches them from back stage. Nicole models a bikini and wrap
that she takes off. They stop announcing names at this point, ha,
as Cassie comes next in a 2 piece dark blue bikini with lace on
it. Lexie models a striped bikini top and orange skirt wrap (that
she leaves on). Rex huffily walks out in loose shirt and baggie
trunks, then comes Philip shirtless and flowered trunks (he makes
his pec's dance, lol). Shawn comes out laughing shirtless and in
black baggie trunks. Sami models the outfit she was in earlier.
John comes out in tropical shirt and white pants eating a banana.
Marlena in black suit with bottom wrap. Brady is red baggie
trunks finishes the show as Jack and Jen applaud the volunteer
models..encouraging people to call and donate (gee, sure would
get me to call and donate, haha).
After The Fashion Show
Jack announces Kate and Belle and they're given big bouquet of
flowers as John and Marlena blow kisses off stage. Marlena wishes
Roman could have been there (yeah, where was he..wasn't he
suppose to model?). They congratulate (tinker) Belle. Rex sneaks
away after the show as Cassie looks for him. The lights go out.
The lights come on with Bo and Hope on the floor in the spot
light with a large pool of blood between their heads. Belle
screams as the previews for Monday roll.
Preview:
Philip figures somebody must have seen something. Cassie sees Rex
wash blood off his lower arm. Marlena wishes she could have done
more as John tells her she did all she could and it's in God's
hands now. Shawn hugs Belle, wondering who would try to hurt his
parents as we see a solemn Rex's face.
