Episode #: 10539
Tape Date: 3/7/07
Air Date: 4/2/07
Director: Albert Alarr
Summary: Kayla urges Max to go for it with Abby…while Jack orders Abby to stay away from Max…EJ is devastated over Sami’s news, but Celeste is sure he is playing her…Philip and Kate question Gabby about Shawn and Belle, but she protects them.
On the plane…
They talk about what happened as Kayla says she now has the proof she needs and they toast burying EJ Wells. He talks about how much he misses Frankie and how he is lost without him around. Kayla can identify, saying she felt the same as when she lost Steve. Max jokes that Frankie is NOT the love of HIS life. He talks about finding that someone special and Kayla asks if that could be Abby Deveraux. Max is a bit embarrassed about it but Kayla thinks Abby could be good for him. She asks about Mimi and he says they have both moved on. He talks about how he has never felt this way before and it’s a bit scary, but Abby is different. He talks about how he screwed up other relationships but Kayla assures him that he will be okay. He talks about how innocent Abby is, but Kayla says taking it slow is a good thing. He is only afraid he may break her heart. She tells him that he needs to go to Abby and tell her everything but he is unsure. An announcement is made that the plane will be landing at JFK in 15 minutes. Kayla says it’s his decision…he can stay on the plane with his sister…or he can go and find the love of his life.
At her Hotel…
The new Abby (played by Emily Montegue) is on the phone talking about how wonderful her trip is (not sure who with) when there is a knock at the door and she opens it to be surprised by her dad, yes, it’s Jack. She hugs him, telling him she loves him. He talks about meeting some singer in the elevator (acting like he didn’t know who it was) and we learn it was Gwen Stefani. He even got her autograph. Jack offers a carriage ride in the park, but Abby thinks that may be for lovers. Jack says, speaking of that, he talked to her Aunt Maggie and knows about Max. He isn’t too happy about it, but Abby swears they are just hanging out and having fun. Jack wants to know what KIND of fun, but then decides he doesn’t want to know. She swears it’s innocent and says she knows about Max’s past and that is just what it is…his past. Jack tries to discourage her but she is determined that Max is the one. He says he and Jennifer talked about it and both agree, they want her to get her education…and it’s not just Max, but don’t want her distracted by any guy. They want her to enjoy her college life. Abby says if it will make them happy, then she promises that Max will not interfere with her education. They hug and then decide to go down to Times Square as Jack goes to change. Abby gets a phone call from Max asking about her trip. She talks about how her and her dad are having a great time. He tells her about taking a trip with Kayla and they had a layover at JFK. Abby is a bit bummed that he was in New York and didn’t see him. Just then, there is a knock at the door and she opens it to find him standing there. She is excited to see him and they hug, but then she tells him he has to go, because her dad will think she planned it this way. Too late…Jack is at the door knocking.
On the Island…
Philip questions Gabby as Shawn watches and listens nearby. Kate is there as well, complaining about having to hitch a ride on a chicken truck (as she brushes away feathers, lol). Philip shows Gabby a picture of Belle and Shawn, but Gabby says she hasn’t seen them. Kate and Philip talk about checking elsewhere as Shawn sneaks back up to the room and warns Belle that they have to get out of there. They rush around packing as Belle worries that it all depends on what Gabby tells them. Gabby covers for Shawn and Belle, but Philip isn’t convinced. Kate goes to the bar to help herself to a drink and finds a teething ring. Gabby makes up a story about a neighbor kid, but Philip calls her a liar. Belle and Shawn continue t pack as Shawn says he can distract them if she and Claire make a getaway. And he will join them later, but she refuses to be separated from him. Philip grabs Gabby and shakes her demanding the truth as she finally calls him a jerk and tells them that yes, Belle, Shawn and Claire were there, but they are gone now. Kate has to drag Philip away from her as Gabby continues to tell them that Shawn and Belle are gone. Shawn has sneaked back downstairs to see what is going on as Gabby whips out the ring and shows it to Philip, telling him that they left it with her as payment on their debt. Upstairs, Belle remembers that she never got her ring back. Gabby tells Philip that Shawn, Belle and Claire are long gone and there is his proof.
At Sami’s…
A dejected EJ was so sure that he was the father and tells Sami that he is in shock. He talks about how he wanted to be a father so bad and has himself a pity party. She says she is only happy that he won’t be a part of her life and for him to just get over it. He tells her that it is her loss as well. She says that this is the best news she could have gotten and tells him she has things to do…like plan a wedding. EJ talks about how Stefano told him about Tony’s weakness for the ladies and he was determined that he wouldn’t make that mistake, but his feelings for Sami were real. She agrees that maybe once, long ago, she felt that way too, but not after she found out who he really was…and he shot John…and raped her. She says that now she knows Lucas is the father and they are done forever…and nothing will ever connect them again. EJ reminds her that if he hadn’t picked her up on that road, there would be no wedding, for Lucas would be dead. She only wants one thing from him…to forget that they ever made that deal. As they go to shake on it, he grabs her hand and kisses it, talking about what could have been. On his way out the door, he says she is the only woman in the world that could have made him into what she thought he was in the beginning. After he leaves, Celeste comes by. Sami tells her that EJ bought it, but Celeste says she doesn’t have a clue about what is going on. She says he played her like a violin but Sami thinks his feelings were genuine. Celeste says he was just playing her and she bought it. Sami says it is over now but Celeste says she is being foolish…it is only the beginning…she must either destroy EJ Wells or he will destroy her. She warns her to be afraid for her child. But Sami doesn’t want to hear it when Celeste warns her he will be back for her baby. Sami asks her to leave as Celeste tells her to consider it. Sami tells her he is out of her life now and she would prefer Celeste stay out of it as well as she slams the door.
Later, EJ is in a bar when Kayla calls him. She tells him she has been in Italy. He tries to get rid of her, but she tells him that she now has the proof to put him away forever…then she tells “Elvis” to enjoy his evening and hangs up. He rushes out of the bar. Kayla holds a picture of Steve, telling him that EJ will not hurt their family again.
At Chez Rouge…
Nick is agonizing over his decision. Maggie asks him what is wrong and he tells her how a friend asked him to do something and he did, but now another friend is asking a favor, but he turned them down. He is upset because he didn’t help the second one. He says he could have, easily, but didn’t know if he should have. Maggie tells him that a true friend would never ask him to compromise his principles. Later he goes back to the lab, seeming to have made up his mind to take the brush. He argues with himself over it, but eventually goes on inside…only to find EJ at his work station. Nick goes to call security, but EJ takes the phone and not-so-subtly threatens to strangle him with the cord, then leaves as Nick gulps. In the hallway, EJ stops to place a call and leave a message for Lucas, saying he is a doctor at University Hospital. He says that he needs to come in…there was a problem with Samantha Brady’s amnio…as the previews show…
Philip (to Gabby): Which is why I am not leaving here until I know for a fact that you are telling the truth…
Lucas (to EJ): Why don’t you just get over it?... (EJ): Get over WHAT?... (Lucas): Your sick obsession with Sami, that’s what…
Sami (to Nick): There is NO WAY this baby is EJ’s…(Nick): No way?... (Sami): It is totally and completely impossible…
Steve (holding Kayla down): Stay away from those people…(Kalya): Get off me!...Stop it!...as he kisses her…
And the credits roll…

Dear Early Edition Readers:
It is with heavy hearts and great sorrow that we announce that today will be the final EARLY EDITION for us. As long time followers remember, we started our day ahead spoilers over ten years ago when we started posting on discussion boards, Dustin’s website and then got our own permanent home. Over the years, we have enjoyed hearing from so many of you from around the world as to how our summaries kept you abreast of our Salemites' storylines.
Unfortunately, the time has come and we have unanimously decided to say goodbye. Unlike when we started the day ahead summaries, today’s technology with DVR’s/TIVOs and lots of other DOOL websites and recaps on the internet, it has become easier for anyone to record or read what’s going on without us. We appreciate all of your accolades about our thoroughness in reporting the storylines, but that thoroughness means, rising earlier, a few hours of watching, typing up and posting…time that we just can’t spare anymore. To be honest, the storylines aren’t grabbing our attention that much anymore either, and even we aren’t always watching when it’s not our own day to do a summary.
We want to say thanks to Jenn, the webmaster of the SALEM PLACE DISCUSSION BOARD for providing an alternate site for posting our summaries over the years. We’ve all made many friends there and will continue to frequent her site. We also thank Dustin for posting our summaries in the earlier days and for continuing to provide links to both Early Edition and Salem Place Discussion Board on his site.
So, friends and fans…thank you very much for visiting our site over the years…it’s been a blast! Please don’t email asking for us to change our minds, because we won’t. We’ve removed our email addresses from the site as well. We’ll leave the site up for reference to our archives.
And last but not least…NO, this is not an April Fool’s joke…sadly, this is for real. Sometimes, LIFE just happens! Thanks to all of you...you have made it all worthwhile. For the show that brought us all together, we wish continued success in the future.
Sincerely,
Barb, Laney, Linda & Sandra
PS. On one final note:
We recommend another sight for very detailed day-ahead previews. Just be warned, if you are sensitive to your "favorites", no character is safe there...they are all lampooned on a daily basis. It is completely tongue in cheek and dripping with sarcasm, but personally, (I have a wicked sense of humor and) usually leave the site chuckling...sometimes LMAO! That aside, it is a very detailed write up and you may want to check it out:

Also, if you are a "Marlena" fan...Bev does wonderful day-ahead previews and photos on the days that Marlena will be on the show (which, these days seems like hardly ever).

Episode #10,538
Taped 3/6
Director - Roger W. Inman
Kayla & Max complete their mission in Italy, as Shawn & Belle’s plan to leave runs into trouble and EJ pays a visit to Steve, and then one to Sami at her request.
IN ITALY, the priest & nun are in a hallway, when a man, obviously some kind of guard, puts a gun to the back of Max’s head. (Max & Kayla are wearing the garb of a priest & nun). He speaks to them in Italian, and Kayla responds back to him in Italian, saying they want to pray with Stefano. He takes out keys to open a door, with a big opaque glass window, on which are printed in big letters…..DIMERA. Max & Kayla hurriedly confer, with her saying she picked up a few phrases she thought they might need from an Italian-English dictionary at the airport, but does not know what the guard is saying. Now the guard comes out, saying in Italian that Stefano is sleeping. Kayla says something back, and now the guard reverts to English. Kayla tells him they are Americans and now Max does some doubletalk with an abracadabra thrown in….and manages to get the gun away from the guard, and has the drop on him. Kayla goes inside, and we see a bed with a big drape over the top, and a hand on the side with the phoenix ring on it. She flips the side of the drape open, and evidently is able to check the body, as she comments “Oh my God, it is true. If I ripped those stitches out, I would see a kidney with John Black’s name on it." Now she moves around, taking pictures with her camera phone. (Handy little things, aren’s they?). She makes sure she gets Stefano’s face in one shot, to prove who the person is, then begins to berate him, putting her hand on the wall plug, so the world would be rid of him and his evil. Nope, she can’t do it, his fate is in God’s hands. She leaves the room, Max puts the guard in a closet, dumps the gun in the trash, and they leave.
IN STEVE’S HOSPITAL ROOM, he is exercising when the door opens and in comes EJ, who is glad to see Steve trying to keep in shape. They exchange words, with Steve saying he is sick of being EJ’s whipping boy, and tells the squire, lol, that he knows what he did. Kayla told him that EJ tipped her off he was at Billie’s, and that EJ wanted to make sure Steve was back in the hospital. Now EJ surprises Steve by telling him the WHY of it all, adding that he got a call from Philip, who told him he thinks one of his men has found Shawn. He claims he is done with Steve, and from now on, Steve is on his own. EJ gets a phone call from Sami, and says he must go. Now EJ knocks on the door, the orderly opens and he is going out the door, turning to Steve and telling him to tell his wife to keep her nose out of his business, as he would hate for Steve to become a widower. The door closes, and Steve pounds on it. He is frantic, wanting Dr. Kraft, matter of life and death. She finally gets there, and Steve tells her he has to get in touch with his wife, immediately. Dr. Kraft leaves, then returns, saying she was unable to locate Kayla. No answer on her phone, and her office (Kayla has an office??? Wow!) said she was out of the country. That she had gone to Italy. Color Steve shocked!
In Sami’s apt. she is working on the fake lab report, as Celeste paces around. Sami is convinced she has made an excellent forgery, having had lots of previous practice (lol, for sure) but Celeste tells her it is not good enough. She again tells Sami there is only one way out for her and that is to get rid of EJ. Sami says no. Celeste tells her she should tell Lucas the truth, and he would understand. Sami admits that is possible, but too much time has passed. Celeste again is urging Sami to do away with EJ, but Sami says, no, no, no. She folds the lab report (which shows no sign of being crumpled up & previously and thrown in the trash) and inserts it into an envelope already addressed. (And one wonders about the stamp and postmark that should be on the envelope). She gets a paper cut, which Celeste claims is bad luck Celeste leaves, and Sami calls EJ to come over, saying the report has arrived, and she thinks they should look at it together. He arrives, she hands him the letter. He gives it back, saying she is the mother and should open it. She does, and gets teary eyed. He asks what is wrong, but there is nothing wrong, all is right. EJ is not the father. She says “you raped me, and are not the father”. EJ replies that he did not rape her, grabs the report, and says he was so sure, so sure, so sure. He crumples the report.
ON TINDA LAO, Shawn & Belle are still packing (one wonders how they accumulated so much stuff in the short time they arrived on the island with nothing). Shawn even packed the wrapper from an empty pkg of diapers (amazing the island has diapers when Belle is talking all the time about Claire having no one to play with) so that no trace of them being there will be left behind. He leaves to find a boat, and runs into Gabby in the hall, telling her they are leaving the island. He shows her the ring, asking her if she knows someone who would be willing to trade a boat for it. She will try, and Shawn leaves to tell Duck. Gabby knocks on the door, wanting to talk to Belle. She wonders why Belle wants to leave, and pulls out all the stops, talking about how she never had friends, and will hate to lose them. She mentions the letter that they wrote, and don’t they want to wait to hear from their parents. She finally gets Belle to admit that Duck had talked to her, and Gabby claims he makes up stories, because he just does not want to lose her. That he does the same when any guys her age happen to come there. Meanwhile, Shawn has been talking to Duck, who tells him he still owes him money, and cannot leave. Shawn returns to the room, but Gabby is wise to her dad, saying he just does not want to admit how much help Shawn has been. She leaves to see about the ring and boat trade, taking Claire’s teething ring to put in the freezer so it will stay cold. She goes down to the bar, a bit angry, and throws the teething ring down, picks up the phone to call “Cap”. She hears someone clearing their throat behind her, and lo, there is Philip! She finishes up her call, then asks if she can help him. We see Shawn coming, who quickly hides and listens, as Philip shows a picture of Shawn & Belle, telling Gabby that he is looking for 2 people who kidnapped his daughter, and has reason to believe they came to this island. He asks if she has seen them.
And the previews show…..
EJ to Sami: I don’t think you begin to understand. This is not just my loss, it is your loss, too.
Belle to Shawn: So it all depends on Gabby, someone we barely know. Our lives are in her hands, Shawn, do you realize that?
Philip, angrily shaking Gabby as Kate watches ….and yes, I said Kate!…..I swear, you’d better start talking. Gabby: Fine, fine, they’re here, you’re right.
Max (on a plane): So what you are trying to say is the love of my life is……
Kayla: Abby Deveraux

Now EJ knocks on the door, the orderly opens and he is going out the door, turning to Steve and telling him to tell his wife to keep her nose out of his business, as he would hate for Steve to become a widower. The door closes, and Steve pounds on it. He is frantic, wanting Dr. Kraft, matter of life and death. She finally gets there, and Steve tells her he has to get in touch with his wife, immediately. Dr. Kraft leaves, then returns, saying she was unable to locate Kayla. No answer on her phone, and her office (Kayla has an office??? Wow!) said she was out of the country. That she had gone to Italy. Color Steve shocked!
In Sami’s apt. she is working on the fake lab report, as Celeste paces around. Sami is convinced she has made an excellent forgery, having had lots of previous practice (lol, for sure) but Celeste tells her it is not good enough. She again tells Sami there is only one way out for her and that is to get rid of EJ. Sami says no. Celeste tells her she should tell Lucas the truth, and he would understand. Sami admits that is possible, but too much time has passed. Celeste again is urging Sami to do away with EJ, but Sami says, no, no, no. She folds the lab report (which shows no sign of being crumpled up & previously and thrown in the trash) and inserts it into an envelope already addressed. (And one wonders about the stamp and postmark that should be on the envelope). She gets a paper cut, which Celeste claims is bad luck Celeste leaves, and Sami calls EJ to come over, saying the report has arrived, and she thinks they should look at it together. He arrives, she hands him the letter. He gives it back, saying she is the mother and should open it. She does, and gets teary eyed. He asks what is wrong, but there is nothing wrong, all is right. EJ is not the father. She says “you raped me, and are not the father”. EJ replies that he did not rape her, grabs the report, and says he was so sure, so sure, so sure. He crumples the report.
ON TINDA LAO, Shawn & Belle are still packing (one wonders how they accumulated so much stuff in the short time they arrived on the island with nothing). Shawn even packed the wrapper from an empty pkg of diapers (amazing the island has diapers when Belle is talking all the time about Claire having no one to play with) so that no trace of them being there will be left behind. He leaves to find a boat, and runs into Gabby in the hall, telling her they are leaving the island. He shows her the ring, asking her if she knows someone who would be willing to trade a boat for it. She will try, and Shawn leaves to tell Duck. Gabby knocks on the door, wanting to talk to Belle. She wonders why Belle wants to leave, and pulls out all the stops, talking about how she never had friends, and will hate to lose them. She mentions the letter that they wrote, and don’t they want to wait to hear from their parents. She finally gets Belle to admit that Duck had talked to her, and Gabby claims he makes up stories, because he just does not want to lose her. That he does the same when any guys her age happen to come there. Meanwhile, Shawn has been talking to Duck, who tells him he still owes him money, and cannot leave. Shawn returns to the room, but Gabby is wise to her dad, saying he just does not want to admit how much help Shawn has been. She leaves to see about the ring and boat trade, taking Claire’s teething ring to put in the freezer so it will stay cold. She goes down to the bar, a bit angry, and throws the teething ring down, picks up the phone to call “Cap”. She hears someone clearing their throat behind her, and lo, there is Philip! She finishes up her call, then asks if she can help him. We see Shawn coming, who quickly hides and listens, as Philip shows a picture of Shawn & Belle, telling Gabby that he is looking for 2 people who kidnapped his daughter, and has reason to believe they came to this island. He asks if she has seen them.
And the previews show…..
EJ to Sami: I don’t think you begin to understand. This is not just my loss, it is your loss, too.
Belle to Shawn: So it all depends on Gabby, someone we barely know. Our lives are in her hands, Shawn, do you realize that?
Philip, angrily shaking Gabby as Kate watches ….and yes, I said Kate!…..I swear, you’d better start talking. Gabby: Fine, fine, they’re here, you’re right.
Max (on a plane): So what you are trying to say is the love of my life is……
Kayla: Abby Deveraux

Summary: Chelsea turns to Nick for help…Max and Kayla make their way to Italy…Belle tries to convince Shawn that it’s time to leave Tinda Lao…and Steve starts trouble at the mental hospital.
On the island…Shawn wakes up as Belle is folding their clothes, telling him she couldn’t sleep so she bathed Claire and washed clothes. She is in a bitter mood, saying she is worried about Claire having no interaction with family or other children. She thinks they need to leave this island and go to Australia and soon. They discuss it as she says this is not a good place for them to raise her. But he thinks there is more to it than she is saying. He asks her if she has a plan and she takes out the ring and suggests they trade it for a boat and says she is just thinking about what is best for Claire. Shawn is just happy to see her smile again but he thinks there is another reason she wants to leave. She gets upset accusing him of calling her a liar. Gabby shows up with breakfast and tells Shawn that Duck wants him downstairs to check the generator. After he leaves, Gabby asks Belle if she is okay and offers to watch Claire if Belle wants to take a shower. Belle asks why she is so interested in Claire and points out that Gabby is still a stranger to her. Gabby says she is only trying to help and asks Belle what is wrong with her. Gabby apologizes if she upset Belle in some way and says Claire just won her heart and she was happy to finally have another “girl friend”. But if she is angry with her, she will back off. She just wants the truth from Belle. So Belle lays it out, saying she isn’t so sure it is a girlfriend that Gabby is after and asks if she is after Shawn. Gabby asks if she is jealous of her. But Belle doesn’t want to discuss it any further. Gabby swears she is not interested in Shawn, just as he comes in and gives a report on the generator, so Gabby leaves to go give Duck the news. After she is gone, Shawn asks Belle what is wrong. She tells him if he loves her then they should get out of there. He assures her that he does love her and that will never change. She says she loves him too, but feels like they are drifting apart in this place and it kills her. He holds her as she cries and he tells her not to worry. She is sure that if they leave this place, they can make it work. Shawn finally says they will go see about that boat today…as Gabby listens at the door.
On the plane to Italy…Max and Kayla are on their way as she thanks him for going with her. He asks why they are going and she explains to him the story of how Steve kidnapped John from the hospital and forced her to remove his kidney. She is convinced that it is Stefano who needed the kidney. Max asks what do they do now and she has the address of where Marlena and John found Stefano last year. She says they have to get proof that he received the kidney. Max talks about how lucky Steve is with her risking her life to save him. He asks how do they do this and she says they will need a distraction. Max spots a priest on the plane and has an idea. He takes the priest’s carry-on, telling Kayla to just call him Father Maximus. He tells her that where ever there are priests, there are bound to be nuns and suggests she pose as one. He says it could get them in to see Stefano. She is worried and says that do go through with this, she will have to get down and dirty. He laughs at her, saying she is what she is…an angel on earth. She says maybe she is an “avenging angel” and now must become what she fears the most about the DiMeras in order to go up against them. He laughs at her, saying she is tough in her own way…calling her “Special K”…saying she is soft on the outside, but tough inside. He is sure she can do what she has to without turning into a DiMera. They will do this…the Brady way. She turns and gives the priest a donation to his parish. Max laughs and says she is just trying to assure her place in Heaven.
Chelsea goes to see Nick…And he wants to put their past behind them. She asks if he feels the same as he did before and he says he loves her even more. She says she is in trouble and needs his help and to take a risk for her. They sit as she explains about how they found Hope’s jewelry at Willow’s after the fire. Nick says that is good news and proves that Willow is guilty and that should let Chelsea off the hook. But then she explains about the hairbrush being found on the scene, even though she is sure it was Willow who swiped it. Nick thinks she should just tell her dad the truth but she is sure he won’t believe her. She asks if when the brush comes in for testing, if he could “lose” it. But he says no, that would be breaking the law, there must be another way. But she says she just wants him to help clear her name and swears that she still loves him and they can be together. He again advises her to tell Bo the truth. She finally sees that he isn’t going to help her so she goes to leave. He swears he does love her, but he just won’t compromise his integrity for her. She asks if he thinks she is guilty and he says he believes her, but he just can’t do this. He says he can’t commit a crime, but she says he would be preventing one. She says she would do anything for him and thought he would do the same for her. She leaves dejected and in the hall, makes a call to book a flight to New York. After thinking it over, Nick chases after her, but she is already gone.
At the mental hospital…The orderly (Foley) orders Steve to clean up the mess, but he tells him it looks like slop and since HE is the pig, he can eat it. Steve finally gets down on the floor and puts food on the guys shoes, asking if he wants fries with that…as the others laugh. Steve continues to insult him until he takes out his tazer and threatens to shock him. Steve rips open his shirt and tells him to bring it on, he needs a recharge anyway. He zaps him, just as Dr. Kraft comes in and sees, asking ‘what the HELL is going on?” She goes off on Foley and defends Steve, saying if there was trouble, he should have paged her. She asks Steve how he is and he says he is “all fired up” (lol). She helps him up and says she is taking him back to his room as he asks if she is going to have her way with him. She laughs and says she ALWAYS gets her way. She leads him away as he makes kissy faces at Foley. Later, she checks him out and says it doesn’t look that bad as he explains he was just standing up for another patient. She leaves, telling him she will see him later in private session. She tells Foley to get Steve a new shirt and don’t do anything like that again. He goes in and tells “popeye” that he made himself an enemy today. Steve tells him “bring it on, bro…bring it on…” as the previews show…
Sami (to EJ) I am more than okay…because YOU are NOT the father (as he snatches the paper away from her and says): Let me see that…
Philip shows Gabby a picture of Shawn and Belle and says: I am looking for 2 people who kidnapped my daughter and I have reason to believe that they are on this island…as Shawn watches and listens…
Steve (to Dr. Kraft): it IS a matter of life and death…somebody could die…(Dr. Kraft): What are you talking about?...
A man holding a gun on Max and Kayla (dressed as a priest and nun) asks: Who are you?...
And the credits roll…

Director - Albert Alarr
Shawn’s actions bring trouble, Kayla asks a favor of Max while Steve puts one over on Dr. Kraft, but only hurts himself. And guess what?….amazingly, not a sign of EJ for a refreshing change!
KAYLA & MAX are lunching at the Penthouse Grill, her treat. They exchange a bit of small talk, when she suddenly mentions him going on a vacation, and invites him to go to Italy with her, again her treat. (She sure must have put away a lot of money while she was in L.A. Ha!). Max is startled, figures there is something going on, and Kayla admits it could be a smidge dangerous. She then admits she wants to go after Stefano, to a shocked Max. She explains about Steve being held by Stefano when he was missing all those years, being brainwashed and EJ involved. Max wonders why she doesn’t ask Bo or Roman, her other brothers, but she claims they have been working for months trying to nail EJ, with no success. (THAT’s for sure) She also says neither could get leave. (And since WHEN has that stopped Bo? Ha.) Kayla tells Max that she needs backup, and asks if he will go. He says taking down international crime bosses is not in his job description, but Kayla is adamant about going. Max finally agrees on one condition………that they stop in NY on the way back so he can see Abby, who is there on a trip. Kayla says that is fine, the Big Apple it is, but don’t tell anyone at all of their plans.
ON TINDA LAO, Shawn is throwing Charlie out of the bar, causing Gabby to get very upset. Belle has come upon the scene, and wants to know what is going on. Gabby tells Shawn he has made trouble for all of them. Now Duck comes roaring in, yelling about Charlie being brother-in-law to the sheriff, who is a big Law & Order fan, and thinks he is a freaking Wyatt Earp! When noone else is around, Shawn gives Gabby what for because she told Charlie stuff about them. Gabby tries to make excuses, saying it is a small island, and Charlie just asked if they were married or shacking up. Shawn interrupts, and says that she then told him something that was none of anyone’s business and something he told her in confidence. He leaves. Later, Shawn & Belle are in their room packing and arguing. Shawn says they can sleep on the beach tonite, but Belle says no, she is not going to leave because he cannot control his temper. Shawn lets her know he did not punch out Charlie because of Gabby, but because he was insulting Belle. Gabby comes to warn them to get out quick, the sheriff is downstairs, but too late. Duck & the sheriff are at the door.
Now we see Shawn & the sheriff outside, with Shawn telling his story once more, and Gabby backing him up. Charlie is always getting drunk, and the sheriff admits he knows that is true. Upstairs, Belle decides to take Claire out to play, and leaves the room. 3 seconds later, Duck comes in to search and see what the boy scout is hiding. Downstairs, the sheriff says he will talk Charlie into dropping the charges, but still needs to make a report, and will need their passports. Shawn is taken aback. Belle comes along, and tells Shawn to tell the sheriff the truth, so Shawn explains how they left the States in his dad’s boat because someone was trying to take away their child. He says the boat sunk, and they ended up on an island, and eventually made their way to this one. (well, at least that is partially the truth) Cue Duck to come in, saying whatever they have told the sheriff is a lie, and he has their passports, obviously forgeries. Shawn & Belle are upset he was in their room, but he says he owns the place. The sheriff is ready to take action, but Gabby speaks up, saying that everyone on the island has lied to everyone else, all have secrets of some kind, it is why and how they all came there. She also adds that Duck search the room illegally, without a warrant, and therefore the passports are inadmissible evidence. She tells everyone she will talk to Charlie, and nearly everyone leaves. Shawn apologizes to Gabby for how he treated her earlier, and thanks her for her help. She hugs him, saying she will do anything for him. Upstairs, Duck comes to the room, looking for Shawn. Belle says he is still down in the bar. Duck now warns her about his daughter. He says he loves her dearly, but she has this weakness for men, especially dark haired, blue eyed ones. Sound familiar? He warns her Gabby is after Shawn, and that if she wants to keep her man, she had better stake her claim soon.
IN THE HOSPITAL, Steve paces his room, as Dr. Kraft comes in with his meds. She is not happy, as the staff tells her he has been refusing his meds. Dr. Kraft pleads with him, as they go back and forth with the same conversations we have heard before. Steve doesn’t want to be a drooling zombie, etc. etc. Dr. Kraft warns him about his deal, and that if he does not cooperate, he will be going to prison, but if he does, he will get extra privileges, like getting his lunch out in the commons, and watching TV. Steve says, o, goodie, I can catch up on all the soaps, and maybe figure out what is going on in them. LOLOLOL Steve admits he is scared, but finally agrees to take the pill, but fakes taking it, tucking it into a pocket or something after she leaves, and leaves the door open.
Steve wanders out into the commons, noting a few patients sitting here and there. A bit later, we see her come into the commons, and sit down to talk to Steve, who seems a bit spaced out (but probably faking that, too). She wants to know why he will not tell why he kidnapped John from the hospital, and how he forced Kayla to remove John’s kidney. Steve is vague in his response, and she talks about Stockholm syndrome. Steve says it is a pretty town, he was there one. (yes, you were, Steve, great story back then). She tells him how a group of hostages became brainwashed and were in sympathy with their captors. Steve now mentions a movie he saw once. “Ol Blue Eyes was in it, and Lawrence Harvey, a good actor, those guys were brainwashed”. (Steve is referring to the movie Manchurian Candidate). Dr. Kraft gets a call on her cell, and has to leave, but is pleased with the good start they have made.
Now we see Steve toying with the food on his lunch tray, obviously distasteful to him. He notes another patient has finished his lunch, and takes his tray over to the guy, telling him he can have more, to enjoy. He goes over to the sofa, plops down to watch the TV, commenting on how he likes the “wascally wabbit”, too. We hear a commotion over at the other patient’s table. An orderly has come in, and is yelling at the patient, saying only one tray, and he has been warned before. Steve jumps up, taking the blame, saying it was his tray, and he gave it to him, so to pick on him. The orderly now sweeps the tray to the floor, telling Steve that it is his tray, so he should clean up the mess, and to get down on his knees and start. Steve says, no, it is your mess….so you had better get down on your knees and clean it up. Freeze frame on Steve standing stalwart….and the previews show…
Shawn: You got a plan? You are serious about this, aren’t you?
Belle: Shawn, our lives depend on it.
Nick: I want you to love me. I’m not gonna compromise my integrity to make it happen.
Chelsea: You think I did this, don’t you.
Steve to the orderly (his shirt is half off the one shoulder). Fire away
The orderly fires what might be a stun gun..electricity comes out of it, and Steve falls to the floor screaming.
Kayla to Max: I need to be what I fear most about the DiMeras. Lord, give me strength

Episode #: 10535
Tape Date: 3/1/07
Air Date: 3/27/07
Director: Phil Sogard
Summary: Sami’s shower is underway as EJ presses to know what she and Celeste are up to…Hope searches Willow’s place and finds her stash…Bo lets Chelsea off the hook…Shawn picks a fight with a local.
On the Island…
Shawn plays with Claire’s bear (that Gabby gave her) as Belle comes in. Shawn wishes he could do more for them but Belle says that they have all they need and that Claire is lucky. Belle talks about a consignment shop Gabby told her of and wants to go and get Claire some new clothes. Shawn goes downstairs to help Duck and explains to Gabby that Belle went shopping. There is a patron in the bar (Charlie) who is drunk and wants to dance with Gabby. Shawn tries to get him to leave her alone, but she knows how to handle him and gets him to go sit down, telling Shawn it’s ok. When she needs rescuing, she will let him know. Later, Claire and Belle are back as Claire models her clothes. Gabby goes to get her camera to take some pictures. Shawn tells Belle to stay clear of Charlie. Gabby and Belle are in their room now as she takes pictures of Belle and Claire. She asks if everything is okay between her and Shawn now. Then Belle asks if anything was going on between Gabby and Shawn last night when she came down. Belle says she is not jealous if it was, but Gabby swears she isn’t trying to take Shawn away. She isn’t really interested in a guy…unless Superman swoops down, then she will think about it. Gabby tells Belle she can tell that Shawn wants Belle. Back downstairs, they show Shawn the pictures as Charlie comes over again. Gabby takes him back to his seat and then offers to take a picture of Shawn, Belle and Claire. Belle says she wishes she would have had a picture to send with the letter, so everyone would know they are okay. Gabby says they can send another, she will make sure it gets to the states. Later, Shawn is tending bar as Charlie gets in his face and belches. He offers to take the “cute little blonde” but Shawn tells him to shut up, that is his wife. Charlie says that’s not what he hears…he is only the guy that knocked her up. Shawn gets angry and punches him and they end up in a brawl. Gabby rushes over yelling at Shawn to stop.
At Willow’s Place…
She comes home to find Hope in her apartment…and she has found the stash of jewelry. Willow claims that it was her aunt’s but Hope goes through it and is able to identify every piece as her own. She says she found everything but the matches Willow used to torch their house. Then Willow changes her tune and says she doesn’t know how it got there, she has never seen it before. She says that Chelsea was there earlier and she must have planted it there. After all, WHY would SHE want to hurt Bo and Hope. Hope says that is what she intends to find out. With that, Willow takes off running with Hope chasing after her.
At Billie’s…
Chelsea is afraid Bo is coming to take her to jail. He arrives with 2 cops to search Chelsea’s room. Billie thinks that Bo is taking this all too personal and he says it IS personal. Chelsea tells him he can blame her, after all she IS his favorite target, but this time he is wrong. They pack up her things so she offers her lipstick and her gum, if they want that too. Bo says he is sorry, but he is just following the evidence. He shows them the hairbrush they found and Chelsea lies, saying it isn’t hers. Hope calls Bo and tells her she found the jewelry at Willows but then she ran off. Bo tells her he is sending a unit over and putting out an APB for her. He apologizes to Chelsea but says he was only doing his job. He says he is just glad he was wrong this time. The cops put Chelsea’s things back as Bo continues to apologize. He and Chelsea hug as Hope comes in. Chelsea hugs Hope as well and thanks her for her help. But then Hope tells them that Willow is claiming that Chelsea planted the jewelry there, which she denies. Bo holds up the brush and says that Willow can’t lie about DNA proof. Billie thanks Hope for helping as Bo says this time there will be no running for Willow. After they leave, Billie tells Chelsea she is proud of her. Billie goes to freshen up as Chelsea calls someone, telling them she needs their help. Later, Willow returns home, only to be met by the cops in the hallway. She tells them they are making a mistake, they have the wrong person, but they cuff her and read her rights.
At Sami’s…
There is a replay of Celeste and Sami in the hallway as she opens the door with EJ standing there (overhearing Celeste talking about killing him). Kate pops her head out and tells Sami that it’s a surprise bridal shower as she and Celeste go inside. EJ tells Celeste he doesn’t know who looked more surprised…Sami or her and notices that Sami’s hands are shaking. Philip offers Sami a gift and asks her if it is okay he is there. EJ butts in but Sami excuses herself to talk to Philip. Sami can’t believe how nice Kate is being to her (as Kate offers hors d’ouevres, assuring Sami they are safe…if she had wanted to kill her, she would have done it long ago). Sami tells Kate that EJ is leaving, but he refuses to go. She tries to get him to leave, but he wants to talk to her so they go to the bedroom. He demands to know how she and that ‘3rd rate gypsy’ are planning to kill him as Sami denies it. In the other room, Kate brings over the food tray and asks Celeste “Eye of newt?...tail of frog?” and tells her that trying to kill someone can work up an appetite. Celeste tells Kate that she misunderstood what was going on…she was looking into schools for Theo and was wanting advice from Sami. Lucas arrives asking if he missed anything and Kate says no, the fun is just beginning. Philip wants to talk to Lucas alone so they go to the hallway. Philip offers an apology, but Lucas wants no part of it. Celeste goes to leave as Kate continues to needle her, calling her and Sami “Salem’s latest odd couple” and wants to know what they are up to. With that Celeste leaves, but in the hallway, she furiously sends an instant message to Sami, praying she gets it. In the bedroom, Sami swears to EJ that she isn’t up to anything. He taunts her and she says she is sick of him and says she is going to call her dad and tell him everything. So EJ offers to make that call for her and dials his phone and hands it to her. She asks for Roman, but he is busy and can’t be disturbed. So then, EJ offers to call Bo, saying they should just “keep it all in the family”. Sami takes the phone but tells Bo she just wanted to thank him and Hope for the gift. After she hangs up, EJ laughs at her (referring to himself as the “cat” and her as the “mouse”, saying the cat won this round). He demands to know what she and Celeste are up to, but she swears nothing. She knocks over her purse and happens to see the message from Celeste. In the other room, Kate is on the phone with Marlena (who is with John at the hospital…good to see they are mentioned). Lucas and Philip return to the party and don’t even want to talk . EJ warns Sami to stay away from Celeste. Sami, who has read the message, tells EJ that Celeste and she were only talking about schools for Theo, and that when Celeste said something about killing someone, she was
just kidding, talking about the principal of the school. She says that EJ always misunderstands everything. In the other room, Kate urges Lucas and Philip to get along as they both say they will try. Lucas asks where Sami is as Kate delights in telling him she is in the bedroom with EJ. Lucas walks in asking what is going on…just as Sami finishes up a sentence with the baby is none of EJ’s business. EJ leaves as Sami tells Lucas she wasn’t feeling well and EJ just followed her in there. She assures Lucas she is fine now. EJ and Kate talk as Kate tells him that Celeste claimed that she was there to talk to Sami about schools. EJ says that is what Sami said as well. He excuses himself to leave as Philip gets a call with a lead on Claire and tells Kate he has to go. Sami assures Lucas that she is not afraid of EJ, he is just a pest…she loves Lucas and he is all she needs. Kate tries to keep Philip from leaving saying if he is determined to go, then she is going with him. Sami and Lucas rejoin the party as Lucas just stares at the door. On the other side of the door, is EJ sniffing (what looks like) Sami’s hanky and caressing it on his cheek, saying she will be his very soon…as the previews show…
Duck (to Belle): If you want to hold on to that boy scout of yours, you had better stake your claim real soon…
Gabby hugs Shawn and says “anything I can do to help…anything at all…”
Max (to Kayla): I’d do anything for you guys…you know that… (Kayal): That mean you’ll do it?... (Max): Uhhhh…I guess…
Steve (to an orderly): You’re gonna get down there on your knees and clean it up…

Summary: Sami’s shower is underway as EJ presses to know what she and Celeste are up to…Hope searches Willow’s place and finds her stash…Bo lets Chelsea off the hook…Shawn picks a fight with a local.
On the Island…Shawn plays with Claire’s bear (that Gabby gave her) as Belle comes in. Shawn wishes he could do more for them but Belle says that they have all they need and that Claire is lucky. Belle talks about a consignment shop Gabby told her of and wants to go and get Claire some new clothes. Shawn goes downstairs to help Duck and explains to Gabby that Belle went shopping. There is a patron in the bar (Charlie) who is drunk and wants to dance with Gabby. Shawn tries to get him to leave her alone, but she knows how to handle him and gets him to go sit down, telling Shawn it’s ok. When she needs rescuing, she will let him know. Later, Claire and Belle are back as Claire models her clothes. Gabby goes to get her camera to take some pictures. Shawn tells Belle to stay clear of Charlie. Gabby and Belle are in their room now as she takes pictures of Belle and Claire. She asks if everything is okay between her and Shawn now. Then Belle asks if anything was going on between Gabby and Shawn last night when she came down. Belle says she is not jealous if it was, but Gabby swears she isn’t trying to take Shawn away. She isn’t really interested in a guy…unless Superman swoops down, then she will think about it. Gabby tells Belle she can tell that Shawn wants Belle. Back downstairs, they show Shawn the pictures as Charlie comes over again. Gabby takes him back to his seat and then offers to take a picture of Shawn, Belle and Claire. Belle says she wishes she would have had a picture to send with the letter, so everyone would know they are okay. Gabby says they can send another, she will make sure it gets to the states. Later, Shawn is tending bar as Charlie gets in his face and belches. He offers to take the “cute little blonde” but Shawn tells him to shut up, that is his wife. Charlie says that’s not what he hears…he is only the guy that knocked her up. Shawn gets angry and punches him and they end up in a brawl. Gabby rushes over yelling at Shawn to stop.
At Willow’s Place…She comes home to find Hope in her apartment…and she has found the stash of jewelry. Willow claims that it was her aunt’s but Hope goes through it and is able to identify every piece as her own. She says she found everything but the matches Willow used to torch their house. Then Willow changes her tune and says she doesn’t know how it got there, she has never seen it before. She says that Chelsea was there earlier and she must have planted it there. After all, WHY would SHE want to hurt Bo and Hope. Hope says that is what she intends to find out. With that, Willow takes off running with Hope chasing after her.
At Billie’s…
Chelsea is afraid Bo is coming to take her to jail. He arrives with 2 cops to search Chelsea’s room. Billie thinks that Bo is taking this all too personal and he says it IS personal. Chelsea tells him he can blame her, after all she IS his favorite target, but this time he is wrong. They pack up her things so she offers her lipstick and her gum, if they want that too. Bo says he is sorry, but he is just following the evidence. He shows them the hairbrush they found and Chelsea lies, saying it isn’t hers. Hope calls Bo and tells her she found the jewelry at Willows but then she ran off. Bo tells her he is sending a unit over and putting out an APB for her. He apologizes to Chelsea but says he was only doing his job. He says he is just glad he was wrong this time. The cops put Chelsea’s things back as Bo continues to apologize. He and Chelsea hug as Hope comes in. Chelsea hugs Hope as well and thanks her for her help. But then Hope tells them that Willow is claiming that Chelsea planted the jewelry there, which she denies. Bo holds up the brush and says that Willow can’t lie about DNA proof. Billie thanks Hope for helping as Bo says this time there will be no running for Willow. After they leave, Billie tells Chelsea she is proud of her. Billie goes to freshen up as Chelsea calls someone, telling them she needs their help. Later, Willow returns home, only to be met by the cops in the hallway. She tells them they are making a mistake, they have the wrong person, but they cuff her and read her rights.
At Sami’s…There is a replay of Celeste and Sami in the hallway as she opens the door with EJ standing there (overhearing Celeste talking about killing him). Kate pops her head out and tells Sami that it’s a surprise bridal shower as she and Celeste go inside. EJ tells Celeste he doesn’t know who looked more surprised…Sami or her and notices that Sami’s hands are shaking. Philip offers Sami a gift and asks her if it is okay he is there. EJ butts in but Sami excuses herself to talk to Philip. Sami can’t believe how nice Kate is being to her (as Kate offers hors d’ouevres, assuring Sami they are safe…if she had wanted to kill her, she would have done it long ago). Sami tells Kate that EJ is leaving, but he refuses to go. She tries to get him to leave, but he wants to talk to her so they go to the bedroom. He demands to know how she and that ‘3rd rate gypsy’ are planning to kill him as Sami denies it.

Episode #: 10534
Tape Date: 3/1/07
Air Date: 3/26/07
Director: James Baffico
Summary: Gabby tells Shawn a bit about her history…Chelsea convinces Hope she didn’t start the fire…Celeste badgers Sami to do something about EJ…EJ crashes the bridal shower…but not before he and Philip enter an alliance.
On the Island…
It is late and Belle is having trouble putting Claire to sleep. (Too cute how she keeps saying “cookie”). Duck comes by looking for Shawn, asking where he is. He asks lots of questions about Shawn and Belle and can tell that Belle is uncomfortable with it. He finally explains that he needs him early in the morning to help him and Belle says she will let him know. Downstairs, Shawn is lying on the sofa when Gabby comes by and offers him a beer. She can see he is upset and asks if he wants to talk about it but he doesn’t. She says it’s all her fault that they had a fight but Shawn says they just have things to work out. She apologizes for asking so many questions. Shawn finally explains that Belle was married and that it is her ex that is after them and how things hadn’t worked out as he had hoped. He tells Gabby that he does love Belle and thinks that maybe she loves him as well, but they just aren’t at that place yet and he told Belle he would be patient. She begins to pour on the charm, calling him sweet, smart, brave and “smoking hot”, saying any girl would be lucky to have him. But he laughs at those comments and she says it was inappropriate. Shawn says he isn’t going to push Belle, because before all this, he was a major screw up…he was working for a criminal and living with an ex-hooker. Gabby shares with him about her mother who was a “lady of the evening”. She rattles on about how she lived in Saigon during the war and there was no work and how she did what she had to survive. She died shortly after Gabby was born and how a marine, saying he was her daddy, rescued her from the orphanage. She is talking about Duck, who is nearby listening. She talks about how he has always taken care of her and Shawn says he has newfound respect for him. She says in a lot of ways, Shawn is like him. Belle walks up with Claire, telling Shawn that she won’t go to sleep, wanting him. Shawn asks her if it would be okay to stay with them and Belle says yes. Upstairs, Shawn puts Claire to bed and Belle thanks him. He tells her that he has been thinking about their arguments and it is all his fault. He promises her he is not going to pressure her anymore and that they should put it all aside for Claire’s sake.
Back in Salem…
Philip meets with EJ in a dark alley. Philip asks him if he has heard from Shawn and/or Belle, which EJ hasn’t. He tells him that he has people looking for them and EJ thinks that perhaps they should share information, for he and Shawn have unfinished business as well. They agree to keep each other informed and shake on it. Philip says he has to go…he is going to Lucas & Sami’s bridal shower and leaves. After he is gone, EJ says perhaps he should go shopping as well.
At Billie’s…
She is getting dressed when Hope comes by on her way to Sami’s shower. She wants to talk to her about the night of the fire. Hope says that she is not there to judge Chelsea or Billie. Billie is positive that Chelsea had nothing to do with it, but Hope points out that Chelsea was upset that night and when she is like that, can be unpredictable. Billie thinks that Hope is there to accuse Chelsea of starting the fire and gets upset. Hope says that either way, Chelsea is in some serious trouble. Billie is aware of that and says she knows she was upset with her and Nick, but NOT Bo and Hope…it doesn’t make sense that she would set their house on fire. She just wishes that Bo would believe in Chelsea as well. But Hope says he is just being a cop, trying to do his job. Billie asks what Hope believes and she says she doesn’t want to believe it, for she has been seeing changes in Chelsea. Billie says she will need to talk to Chelsea.
At Lucas & Sami’s…
They are rushing around getting ready to leave as Sami looks for her folder with all her wedding plans. As she is looking in the bedroom, Lucas calls Kate and tells her that they are leaving and that Sami doesn’t suspect a thing. Chelsea is in the hallway excitedly waiting for them to leave when Kate arrives. Sami and Lucas come out as they hide. Sami and Lucas leave as Kate and Chelsea go inside. Later, Kate has Chelsea sampling hors d’ourves as she complains about doing all this for Sami. Chelsea defends Sami and says that she has been good to her and how she is sure that Sami and Lucas love each other. Kate chuckles and says that love is over rated and for her not to let it make her stupid. Chelsea brings up Nick and Billie as Kate tells her to just get over it. Kate says that Billie is human but Chelsea doesn’t like Kate defending her. Kate tells her that forgiving Billie is the right thing to do…she can make Nick suffer all she wants. Kate says she needs to get over it and get on with it…and then Chelsea will be okay. There is a knock at the door as Chelsea opens it to find Billie and Hope there. Suddenly, Chelsea needs to go make a call and makes a quick exit.
At Chez Rouge…
Sami and Lucas meet with Cydney (the web person). Sami gets a call from Celeste, telling her not to hang up on her and listen to her…her future depends on it. She says things have gone from bad to worse with EJ and they need to talk immediately. Sami tells her she isn’t interested and don’t call back and hangs up on her. The lady asks Sami for her wedding plans as Sami explains all she wants to do. The lady says it sounds very “traditional” which Sami doesn’t like the sound of. She wanted it to be “edgy”. Cydney suggests a theme wedding and says maybe a “green” wedding. Sami says that green isn’t really her color (lol) and Cydney explains she means environmentally sound. As she explains, Sami gets excited, liking the sound of it. Lucas points out that many plans have already been made, but Sami says they can be changed. He finally gives in as an excited Sami says NO ONE will forget this wedding.
Back at Billie’s…
Chelsea goes there to be alone. Hope joins her and tries to be supportive. She tells Chelsea that Billie believes her 100% as does Kate. She says that Lucas and Sami must trust her, so she does have a lot of support. Chelsea says that she just doesn’t have hers or Bo’s. Hope says the fact is that she was there that night and she was upset and she can’t ignore that. Chelsea insists that she is not an arsonist and that there is no way she would ever try to hurt Hope or the baby…she loves them. She says they should look at Willow, since she is the one with a history of arson. Hope informs her that they did question Willow, but her alibi was she was with her brother and he confirmed it. Chelsea says that he was probably lying to protect her…he DOES owe her for footing all his expenses. Hope has a change of heart and tells Chelsea that she believes her. Chelsea asks what changed her mind, and Hope says she could see it in her eyes. Chelsea thanks her as Billie comes over and tells them that Bo just called and is on his way over…on police business. Chelsea panics and is sure he will take her to jail. Hope tells them she has an idea that may clear Chelsea and she hopes she gets back before Bo gets there. Billie continues to stand by Chelsea as Chelsea tells her she changed her mind and does want Billie there when she makes her statement.
Back at Sami’s Shower…
Philip has arrived now as Kate and Billie are happy he came. The doorbell rings as Kate opens it to find EJ standing there with a gift. Kate invites him as she says under her breath that this party may be fun after all. Sami is in the hallway and is accosted by Celeste, saying she is there to warn her. She tells her about being at Chez Rouge and overhearing EJ questioning Nick about the test. Celeste asks her what she is planning and Sami tells her about Nicking getting her the blank test, sure it will work. Celeste says no, EJ will find out and end up destroying her. Sami says she is not afraid of him, as Celeste warns her she should be…SHE is. Sami tries to get her to leave, saying she has to plan her wedding. Celeste tells her not to walk away from her…that bastard from hell has to die…just as Sami opens the door. The afore-mentioned "bastard from hell" himself, is standing there…as others in the background shout “surprise!”…and the previews show…
Chelsea (to Bo): If you want someone to blame this on, fine…blame me…afterall, I am your favorite target…But just know….that you are wrong…
Philip (to Lucas): I don’t want to miss out on being a part of my own family… (Luas): I don’t care what you want…
Shawn is fighting with someone as Gabby yells: Shawn, you are killing him…QUIT!...
Sami (to EJ): I am going back to the party…(EJ): You’re not going anywhere until I find out how you and that third-rate gypsy are planning on killing me…

Episode #10,533
Director - Jim Baffico
Kayla argues with Steve during her visit, Shawn argues with Belle on the island, EJ accosts and argues with several people, while Sami has to cover up once again.
ON TINDA LAO, Shawn is upset with Belle for telling Gabby their private business. She tries to explain away the reason for the twin beds, but she sounds as lame as the viewer sees it as well. Shawn gets that she does not want to sleep with him, but he does not need the entire island knowing this. They go back and forth (zzzzzzzzzzzzzz) as she brings up that they had those purity rings and promised to wait until they married, and then both married other people. She brings up the terrible names he called her when she was first with Philip, even tho he was not in right mind, and then that he was first with Jan, then Mimi, and then Willow. She does not want to be another notch on the bedpost, and suggests he might want someone quick and easy. Gabby brings some extra pillowcases and blankets, and Belle thanks her. Back to the argument, and Shawn takes a pillow and blanket to go sleep on the beach.
IN STEVE’S ROOM, Dr. Kraft is trying to get him to take his meds. Steve is reluctant, but Dr. Kraft reminds him he can go back into the restraints. He is still resisting, when she mentions his wife is outside. Steve takes his pills, and Dr. Kraft lets Kayla in, and then leaves. Steve apologizes for what he did to her, saying he just wanted to get away from everyone, so he would not hurt anyone. He begs her not to tell Stefanie where he is now, but Kayla will not promise that. She loves him, but he used that love to manipulate her. He pleads his case, and they kiss. He zones out on his meds, and comes back. Kayla wants to know why he won’t name the person who forced him to steal John and take his kidney. She knows it was EJ, and wants him to testify to that. Steve gets angry and refuses. They argue, with Kayla saying she will go after EJ herself. Steve warns her to stay away from EJ, as she leaves. He yells thru the door to stay away from EJ. He will kill you. He will kill Stephanie.
AT CHEZ ROUGE, Nick is having a beer at the bar, when Willow comes up to him, wanting to know if his Uncle Mickey has worked on her subsidized housing. Nick tells her it has only been a couple of hours, and to be patient. She worries as she is being evicted. Up comes EJ (Does this guy have a GPS system on every person in Salem?) who asks if there is a problem. Nope, as Willow takes off. Now EJ sort of introduces himself to Nick, and promptly asks if Sami is having her amnio work done in his lab. Nick says he cannot help him, but EJ is insistent. Celeste arrives, greeted by Maggie, and spots Nick & EJ, overhearing a bit of their conversation. Now EJ insists Nick have a drink with him, then tries to bribe Nick with talk of a jazzy sports car. Nick smiles, telling him to add a penthouse apt. with perhaps a circular bed and mirrors on the ceilings. He tells EJ, that no means NO. (You, go, Nick!) Celeste hears this interchange. EJ finally leaves, promising Nick that they will undoubtedly meet again. Maggie comes up to Nick, saying she did not know Nick knew EJ. Nick lets her know he didn’t, and that EJ wanted to know if Sami’s test results were being done at his hospital. Maggie wonders what business that is of EJ’s (yeah, so do we, who the heck does EJ think he is, demanding complete strangers divulge info to him?).
LUCAS IS STRUGGLING with some work, when Sami comes out of the bedroom, saying that both Will and Chelsea were asleep. They begin to make out and decide to take it to the bedroom, just in case the kids wake up and come out. As Lucas clears the mess up at the desk, he comes across the blank lab report, wondering what this is. Sami claims she must have picked it up accidentally when she was fillingout insurance papers at the doctor’s office. Lucas crumples it up, and throws it in the waste basket. They begin to kiss and head towards the bedroom, when Sami suddenly remembers she has to take her pre-natal vitamins (at night??). Then she wants to lock up, and take out the trash. Lucas gives her a bit of a hard time, but she talks of hormones and nesting…and stuff that makes no sense. LOL. Now Lucas mentions some job that EJ has him working on. Sami gets upset that he even brought up EJ’s name, but Lucas says this has to do with internet weddings. He asks for Sami’s help with it, since she knows so much about weddings…..no it is not a knock, but a compliment. She has a good business head, so he wants her to help him out, and go with him to meet with this web site designer. She agrees, and then goes out with the small little bag of trash. (Mine should be so light and small, lol). Lucas takes the opportunity to call Kate, telling her that Sami will be going with him to meet the web site guy, and so the apt. will be empty, so she can do her thing in re: the surprise Bridal shower.
Out in the hall, Sami is rummaging thru the paper trash, when who comes along? Yep, it is Mr. Nosy Parker himself. He comments that a beautiful woman like Sami should not have to be taking out the trash. They banter back & forth, and he starts in on how it has been a week since the amnio, and where are the results, yada, yada. He makes his usual threats, Sami puts him off, telling him she will make a recording for him, saying he will know when she does, so he won’t have to keep asking. Lucas comes out, wondering what is going on. EJ claims he was just saying good-night to Sami, and goes into his apt. Lucas goes back inside, and Sami rummages a bit more, and finds the paper. (So it is all crumpled up. How is she supposed to use it now?). She heads for the incinerator, as sly EJ opens his door and looks out at her retreating back.
Willow arrives, knocking on EJ’s door. He nearly closes it in her face, telling her that no soliciting allowed in the building. LOL. She is frantic, saying how she is pregnant, being evicted, and did everything he wanted. She broke into Bo’s house, stole the jewelry, and why can he not pay her. EJ makes his smarmy excuses, and Willow holds up the jewelry, asking him to buy it, that she has been to every pawn shop in town, and no one will touch it. She promises to get out of town and he will never see her again. He invites her in, she says no. He clicks his tongue as he tells her that if he wanted her dead, she would be already. He goes back into the apt., returning with a card. It is the name of a gentleman who deals in “pre-owned collectibles”. You mean a fence, says Willow. EJ tells her that if she ever comes there again, she will not have to worry about a place to live for herself and her baby. She says she gets it, and leaves.
In Sami’s apt. she & Lucas talk about EJ, with Sami intimating that EJ still has a thing for her, but once the baby is born, he will get it, and leave them alone. Lucas wonders why he has not moved yet. Lucas goes into the bedroom, as Sami gets ready to follow. Her cell rings, and it is Celeste, trying to warn her, but Sami cuts her off, telling her to leave her alone, and she hangs up. Now Sami smoothes out the crumpled blank lab report, folds it, and hides it in a drawer, telling herself this had better work. She heads towards the bedroom, stops, and turns around, with a pensive look on her face. And the previews show…..
Shawn, who is holding Claire: I was actually thinking I’d like to come upstairs to sleep, if that’s o.k. with you
Belle: Of course it is.
Chelsea, as Hope looks on: Hope just told me she believes me about the fire.
Billie: We’re really gonna need your support. I just got off the phone with Bo. He’s on his way over. Official police business.
Celeste to Sami, outside her apt. door: Do you hear what I’m saying to you, girl? That bastard from hell deserves to die. The door is opened by an angry looking EJ, as a chorus of female voices behind him yell “SURPRISE!”

Kayla argues with Steve during her visit, Shawn argues with Belle on the island, EJ accosts and argues with several people, while Sami has to cover up once again.
ON TINDA LAO, Shawn is upset with Belle for telling Gabby their private business. She tries to explain away the reason for the twin beds, but she sounds as lame as the viewer sees it as well. Shawn gets that she does not want to sleep with him, but he does not need the entire island knowing this. They go back and forth (zzzzzzzzzzzzzz) as she brings up that they had those purity rings and promised to wait until they married, and then both married other people. She brings up the terrible names he called her when she was first with Philip, even tho he was not in right mind, and then that he was first with Jan, then Mimi, and then Willow. She does not want to be another notch on the bedpost, and suggests he might want someone quick and easy. Gabby brings some extra pillowcases and blankets, and Belle thanks her. Back to the argument, and Shawn takes a pillow and blanket to go sleep on the beach.
IN STEVE’S ROOM, Dr. Kraft is trying to get him to take his meds. Steve is reluctant, but Dr. Kraft reminds him he can go back into the restraints. He is still resisting, when she mentions his wife is outside. Steve takes his pills, and Dr. Kraft lets Kayla in, and then leaves. Steve apologizes for what he did to her, saying he just wanted to get away from everyone, so he would not hurt anyone. He begs her not to tell Stefanie where he is now, but Kayla will not promise that. She loves him, but he used that love to manipulate her. He pleads his case, and they kiss. He zones out on his meds, and comes back. Kayla wants to know why he won’t name the person who forced him to steal John and take his kidney. She knows it was EJ, and wants him to testify to that. Steve gets angry and refuses. They argue, with Kayla saying she will go after EJ herself. Steve warns her to stay away from EJ, as she leaves. He yells thru the door to stay away from EJ. He will kill you. He will kill Stephanie.

Episode #: 10532
Tape Date: 2/27/07
Air Date: 3/22/07
Director: Herb Stein
Summary: Another pretty slow day in Salem…After some pleading and begging from Kayla, Steve is returned to the state hospital…Billie tries to get a second chance with Chelsea…Shawn agrees to let Belle send a letter home, but will her letter make it back to Salem?
At the Cabin…
Roman explains to Kayla that Marlena took Billie by the hospital to be checked out and she is okay. She is upset that Steve and Billie could have gotten killed. She says she feels frustrated and helpless, then notices Roman has a strange look, asking him what is wrong. He tells her that he talked to the DA and that the judge wants Steve taken to the county jail. They will take him by the hospital first to check him out, but then it is directly to jail. This upsets Kayla, saying he needs help…he is sick and doesn’t know what he is doing. Roman tells her he will talk to the judge again and Kayla thinks they should contact Dr. Kraft. She begs Roman to let her call, but he doesn’t think that will help, since Steve was violent with the doctor before. She tells Roman she is not giving up on Steve, so Roman tells the cops to take him to the mental hospital after they finish at Salem U.
At Billie’s…
Chelsea is there packing some more of her things when Billie comes in. Chelsea notices the bruise on her forehead as Billie explains what happened. She swears she is okay (Marlena took her by the hospital first) but then gets faint. Chelsea is determined to get her aspirin, but wants to call her doctor first. As she is on the phone, Billie sees Chelsea’s diary and helps herself, reading how she hates Billie for what she did to her. Chelsea is in out of the room while on the phone, as Billie keeps slipping and reading more of the diary. She also reads where Chelsea wrote about the fire and how she feels about school as well as Nick. Chelsea comes back to the room as Billie hides the diary and says she has to go. Billie begs her to stay so she gives in, saying she will stay for a while. They sit as she tells her that Sami urged her not to hold a grudge. She talks about how Billie hurt her and now she feels stupid and like everyone is laughing at her. Billie cries that she loves her and begs her to stay, saying she can talk to her about anything and begs for a second chance. Chelsea says she can’t and she is still upset with Billie because of the Nick thing and she can’t get over the feeling that Billie did it to hurt her. She says that Billie is like 2 different people…first there is mom, who she loves and then there is Billie, who is a selfish drunk. She wants mom back…but not the other person. Chelsea says she has to go but is met at the door by Roman. He tells them he has new information about the fire and needs to talk to Chelsea. She claims she had nothing to do with it and didn’t even know until she found out later from her dad. She admits she went by there, but didn’t want to bother Hope or the baby and just left a note under the door. But Roman says they never found a note. Billie thinks they should go and look for it, but he says they have searched and no note was ever found. He tells them that he talked to Abby earlier and learned that Chelsea was in need of money…then he tells them that some of Hope’s jewelry was missing as well. Chelsea and Billie get upset as Billie tells him to leave…NOW. He tells them he will arrange for Chelsea to come in and make an official statement. After Roman leaves, Billie hugs her, telling her it will all be okay and that she will stand by her. She tries to get her to stay the night, but Chelsea says she is going to Sami & Lucas’s. Billie tells her she will always be welcome with her. As she leaves, Billie promises to get her a lawyer and will go with her to make her statement. After Chelsea leaves, Billie thanks God for letting her have a second chance to get Chelsea back.
Later, at the Mental Hospital…
Kayla is talking with Dr. Kraft, who says NO, Steve would not let them help him before and there is nothing else they can do for him…how can you help a patient who refuses help? Kayla lectures her about giving up on him but the doctor says he is a liability, putting other patients in danger. She shows Kayla the bag of pills that Steve was stashing before. Kayla pleads with her, talking about how sick he is, as the orderlies wheel him up outside the room…and leave him there alone…as he listens. Kayla pleads his case, telling the doctor about when she was in the hospital and he stayed with her, saving her. She goes on to tell her about how he “died” 16 years ago and she never gave up on him. Now they are back together and it was like they were never apart. She says they were cheated out of all that time and begs her to help him. Roman comes by and tells them that he talked with Marlena and if Dr. Kraft agrees to take him back, Marlena will back her up. Kayla begs Dr. Kraft to give Steve and her a second chance and she finally caves in and says she will…and there had better be no funny business this time. Later, Steve is in a room with Kayla by his side, telling him he has to cooperate this time…he has a second chance…please don’t blow it. She kisses him and goes to leave and he calls out to her, saying “You can be a real pain in the ass…did you know that?” as she smiles.
On the Island…
Shawn stops Belle from making the call home, angry with her for not listening to his warnings. Gabby says it’s her fault and as they argue, offers to take Claire to the kitchen for ice cream. After she leaves, Shawn asks why Belle went behind his back and she says she misses her mom and just needs to talk to her. Belle says they are safe…they beat Philip at his game, but Shawn fears he will never give up. One slip-up on their part and he will be there. Belle gets upset, saying she can’t live like this anymore. He tells her this is their life now and she had better get used to it. She says that he and Claire are her life now, but needs him to make some compromises…like not ordering her around and letting her talk to her mom. She suggests that maybe they call Roman and have him pass a message to Marlena so she can call them on a phone that she knows won’t be traced. But Shawn compromises and says they can write a letter and send it to Roman at the police station (that doesn’t seem much safer to me). Belle isn’t too thrilled about using snail mail, but goes along with it. Gabby returns with Claire as they ask about mail pickup. She takes the letter, promising to mail it for them as they return to their room. Once up there, Shawn gets upset yet again, when he sees the 2 beds…asking Belle why she went behind his back again. Downstairs, Gabby holds the letter and contemplates it…then rips it to shreds and throws it in the trash…as the previews show…
Belle (to Shawn): It isn’t making love…I would just be another Willow to you…
Lucas (to Sami): I was thinking about EJ and there is something I have to ask you… (Sami): You don’t want to spoil the mood…but you are bringing up EJ?...
Steve (to Kayla): I am warning you to stay away from EJ Wells…(Kayla): Would you listen to me if I said the same thing?...
EJ (to Willow): If I wanted you dead…I would have killed you already…
And the credits roll…

Episode #10,531
Tape date 2/26
Director - Albert Alarr
Duck & Gabby learn more about Shawn & Belle, while EJ questions Celeste, and Steve is stopped in his tracks.
ON TINDA LAO, Duck pressures Shawn as to what he & Belle are running from. Shawn evades the issue, just saying they will be leaving soon. Duck is rather insistent, as he downs shot after shot (that guy’s liver has to be in really bad shape, if he drinks like that all the time). Duck keeps on Shawn, finally threatening to call the states. As he starts to make a call, Shawn stops him, caves in, and off camera, tells him their story. Duck realizes they cannot keep running forever and are going to want to stop and settle down.
Meanwhile, Gabby is nicely doing much of the same to Belle. She insists on moving them to a room with two beds, but Belle knows Shawn does not want Duck knowing their business. Gabby says that they can just go into another room, and bring 2 beds into this one, and Duck will never know. Later, the beds are switched, and Gabby brings Belle a basket of stuff for a shower (soap, shampoo, conditioner, etc) and urges her to get in while the hot water tank is full. (Has to be, no other guests in sight, lol). She will take Claire (who looks adorable) down to beach, but Belle tells her sharply to put Claire down. She does not want to let Claire out of her sight. (Wonder if they have anti-rejection meds on that island??) Now Belle talks about missing her mom, and how sick her dad was when she left, and she has no idea if he is even alive. (and neither do we!). Gabby tells her to call her mom, that she pays all the bills, and Duck will never know about a call to the States. They go downstairs, and Shawn spots them, asking what is up. They babble about the basket of girlie goodies, and he laughingly retreats, taking Claire to their room. He gets up there, having forgotten his key, so returns to get Belle’s. As he comes up, he sees and hears Belle trying to get through to Salem.
AT THE PENTHOUSE GRILL, Celeste is seated, staring off into space, as her waitress tells her it will just be a while longer for her meal. Celeste is jumpy, saying something is wrong, and she has to leave right now. She hurries to the elevator, stabs at the down button, the door opens, and there is Evil Jerk. Ooops, I mean, EJ. (How that man is all over Salem at one time is astounding). He calls her Francesca, like his father did, but she tells him her name is Celeste. Ah, yes, he knows, but his father liked to call her that. (So, o.k. this somehow reminds me of Bridges of Madison County’s Francesca, but then, THAT was a love story! ) EJ proceeds to badger her about coming to Penthouse Grill so often of late, then accuses her of being there with Samantha, in the ladies room, for about 20 minutes. Celeste assures him she would never have anything to do with Samantha, that she was in the bar to meet a friend, and she hates Samantha. EJ threatens “Francesca” not to interfere in imatters not her concern. Celeste calls him Elvis, and he insists she not call him that, to call him EJ, (hmmnm now that is odd) and tells her to come with him into the bar for a drink. She refuses, but he lets her know in no uncertain terms that she may have mistook his invitation for a request, and it was not. Let’s go, says he. As he now sips his large martini, they banter back and forth. He talks of her being a member of the family, but she retorts that she is NOT a member of his family, but he has ruined hers. He ordered her girl dead, and tells him he is nothing like his father, who would never hurt his blood line, or murder his own flesh and blood. She continues that Stefano would think his deeds an abomination, and would be so ashamed of him. (Atta girl, Celeste!) EJ now accuses her of lying about Sami, but Celeste is adamant that she was there earlier to meet a friend for a drink. The friend did not show up, so she went to the ladies room to freshen up, did not see Sami at all, and left. EJ again threatens her, but Celeste assures him she will say nothing to anyone about their conversation, that she understands what the family is all about. EJ now is about to give her a report on the state of Stefano’s health, but Celeste could care less, doesn’t want to hear it, and whatever it is, hopes he does not recover, and when he leaves this world, hopes he rots in hell.
IN THE ABANDONED CABIN, Steve laughs at Marlena & Kayla thinking they can stop him from leaving. Marlena admits that she called Roman from the gas station where they stopped, and he is on his way. Kayla did not know and asks her why. Marlena says innocent people may be hurt. Steve tries to bully his way out, when Billie gets faint, & Kayla goes to her side. Steve pushes past Marlena, who promptly sprays him in the face with Mace or pepper spray….causing Steve to scream in pain. He goes down, and Marlena is trying to tie him up, asking Kayla to help, but she just stands there, staring. Marlena manages to truss up Steve, Billie goes outside for some air, and Marlena goes after her. Now Steve begs Kayla for help, telling her he still loves her, to just cut the ropes and they will go off together. Outside, Billie & Marlena talk in the car. Billie wonders who could have done this to Steve, and if he will ever recover. Marlena cannot believe she is still defending EJ, and says her concussion must be worse than they thought. Inside, Steve piles on the bull, and begs Kayla to cut the ropes. She kisses him, and tells him kisses do not lie. But he is still not old Steve, and says no, rushing outside crying. Billie comes up to her, with some encouraging words about Steve eventually recovering. We hear sirens as Marlena notes that has to be Roman. Inside, Steve is struggling, and manages to stand up, attempting to go out another way. The women come in, and Marlena gets him down on the floor again, yelling “I’ve got him”, as she holds the Mace can. And the previews show…..
Shawn to Belle: You have hot to forget about Salem. This is our life now, you better get used to it.
Dr. Kraft to Kayla: How do you help a patient who refuses to be helped?
Roman to Chelsea, with Billie looking on: We’ve got new information on the fire at your dad’s house, and he wants me to talk to you about it.
Steve (as he lays in bed) to Kayla: you’re a pain in the ass, you know that?

Duck & Gabby learn more about Shawn & Belle, while EJ questions Celeste, and Steve is stopped in his tracks.
ON TINDA LAO, Duck pressures Shawn as to what he & Belle are running from. Shawn evades the issue, just saying they will be leaving soon. Duck is rather insistent, as he downs shot after shot (that guy’s liver has to be in really bad shape, if he drinks like that all the time). Duck keeps on Shawn, finally threatening to call the states. As he starts to make a call, Shawn stops him, caves in, and off camera, tells him their story. Duck realizes they cannot keep running forever and are going to want to stop and settle down.
Meanwhile, Gabby is nicely doing much of the same to Belle. She insists on moving them to a room with two beds, but Belle knows Shawn does not want Duck knowing their business. Gabby says that they can just go into another room, and bring 2 beds into this one, and Duck will never know. Later, the beds are switched, and Gabby brings Belle a basket of stuff for a shower (soap, shampoo, conditioner, etc) and urges her to get in while the hot water tank is full. (Has to be, no other guests in sight, lol). She will take Claire (who looks adorable) down to beach, but Belle tells her sharply to put Claire down. She does not want to let Claire out of her sight. (Wonder if they have anti-rejection meds on that island??) Now Belle talks about missing her mom, and how sick her dad was when she left, and she has no idea if he is even alive. (and neither do we!). Gabby tells her to call her mom, that she pays all the bills, and Duck will never know about a call to the States. They go downstairs, and Shawn spots them, asking what is up. They babble about the basket of girlie goodies, and he laughingly retreats, taking Claire to their room. He gets up there, having forgotten his key, so returns to get Belle’s. As he comes up, he sees and hears Belle trying to get through to Salem.
AT THE PENTHOUSE GRILL, Celeste is seated, staring off into space, as her waitress tells her it will just be a while longer for her meal. Celeste is jumpy, saying something is wrong, and she has to leave right now. She hurries to the elevator, stabs at the down button, the door opens, and there is Evil Jerk. Ooops, I mean, EJ. (How that man is all over Salem at one time is astounding). He calls her Francesca, like his father did, but she tells him her name is Celeste. Ah, yes, he knows, but his father liked to call her that. (So, o.k. this somehow reminds me of Bridges of Madison County’s Francesca, but then, THAT was a love story! ) EJ proceeds to badger her about coming to Penthouse Grill so often of late, then accuses her of being there with Samantha, in the ladies room, for about 20 minutes. Celeste assures him she would never have anything to do with Samantha, that she was in the bar to meet a friend, and she hates Samantha. EJ threatens “Francesca” not to interfere in imatters not her concern. Celeste calls him Elvis, and he insists she not call him that, to call him EJ, (hmmnm now that is odd) and tells her to come with him into the bar for a drink. She refuses, but he lets her know in no uncertain terms that she may have mistook his invitation for a request, and it was not. Let’s go, says he. As he now sips his large martini, they banter back and forth. He talks of her being a member of the family, but she retorts that she is NOT a member of his family, but he has ruined hers. He ordered her girl dead, and tells him he is nothing like his father, who would never hurt his blood line, or murder his own flesh and blood. She continues that Stefano would think his deeds an abomination, and would be so ashamed of him. (Atta girl, Celeste!) EJ now accuses her of lying about Sami, but Celeste is adamant that she was there earlier to meet a friend for a drink. The friend did not show up, so she went to the ladies room to freshen up, did not see Sami at all, and left. EJ again threatens her, but Celeste assures him she will say nothing to anyone about their conversation, that she understands what the family is all about. EJ now is about to give her a report on the state of Stefano’s health, but Celeste could care less, doesn’t want to hear it, and whatever it is, hopes he does not recover, and when he leaves this world, hopes he rots in hell.

Tape Date: 2/26/07
Air Date: 3/20/07
Director: Roger W. Inman
Summary: Willow and Chelsea have a confrontation…Steve rescues Billie…as Kayla and Marlena track them down…and Gabby asks questions about Belle & Shawn’s relationship.
On the Island…
Belle wakes up in the bed, as Shawn is asleep in a chair. They check on Claire and her fever is gone and she slept through the night. She thanks him for taking care of them. He says he needs to get downstairs to get to work as she says she is going to ask Gabby for another room, one with 2 beds. But he is against it, saying they can’t let down their guard and draw attention to themselves. Belle thinks he should chill out, and thinks he is being silly. He tells her to just forget it, from now on, he will just sleep outside. She tries to convince him that Gabby and her father aren’t a threat to them and that they are safe there. She asks what is wrong with him and he says he is just trying to protect them and she can’t even stand to be around him. She tries to explain her feelings and asks what happens when they get back home and things are back to normal. He talks about how he cares about her and Claire but she says she just needs time to sort out her feelings for him. He says all he wants is for them to be a family. But she says with them on the run, she just isn’t sure how SHE feels. He says he will give her all the time she needs. Duck bangs on the door for Shawn to get to work. Later we see him lugging kegs of beer as Gabby watches, foaming at the mouth, lol. She goes up to see Belle and see if they need anything. She tells him about Duck working Shawn so hard and asks Belle if they have set a date yet (she noticed no rings). She asks her why wait?...her dad can marry them right there on the island. Belle asks her why she is so curious about them…is she interested in Shawn? She says she doesn’t go after guys that are already taken…she is just curious. Belle says she not sure just what they are…they are just taking it slow. Gabby offers to get them another room, one with twin beds. Downstairs, Duck asks Shawn what’s the deal with him…is he just young and dumb…or does he have something to hide?
At Willow’s…
Chelsea warns her to stay away from Nick and the begin to trade insults and Willow takes it to a personal level, saying that Chelsea’s hair is NOT her friend. Well it goes right over Chelsea’s head as Willow says SHE is the new girl in town and that she likes Nick…in a Clark Kent sort of way. Chelsea says she is just a user and she isn’t going to let her take advantage of him. Willow starts on her, saying she can’t stop her, saying that Chelsea will be in jail for setting fire to Bo and Hope’s house. She says she has heard that Chelsea is the suspected pyro and asks if Daddy is going to cover for her again. They argue back and forth as Chelsea says Nick only helped Willow because she put on the “poor me” routine and cried crocodile tears and says Nick will find out what a lying skank she is. But Willow says Chelsea won’t be able to stop her, because she will be in jail for robbing Bo’s house. Chelsea picks up on that and no one has said anything about a robbery…how did she know that? Willow tries to cover but Chelsea says she sure seems to know a lot about what happened. Willow denies it, saying she has no reason to hurt Bo and Hope and goes on and on about how good they are being to her, with Hope paying her medical bills…yes, that’s right, Shawn is the father. She says they are treating her like the daughter they always wished they had. Well that cuts Chelsea to the bone and she gets upset. Willow tells her to just go on home…oh, wait…that’s right…you don’t have a HOME. Willow even tells her that she will help Bo and Hope, even if it means getting on the stand and lying…to help put Chelsea behind bars. Chelsea grabs her purse and runs out the door. Willow takes the jewelry out of the fridge, saying she has to get rid of it. In the hall, Chelsea says that Willow is wrong…her dad DOES love her.
Marlena and Kayla…
Are on the road, following the map Billie left behind. They have found out that they are only about 15 minutes behind them and Kayla is hoping when they find them, Steve will turn himself in. Marlena still wants to call the cops, but Kayla won’t let her. She tries to convince Kayla that Steve could be dangerous. But she says it is EJ that is dangerous and that it is all his fault. She says he should be the one suffering…he needs to be stopped and maybe she has to be the one to stop him. Marlena calls her “Laura Croft” and asks for her autograph (LOL). She warns her that the DiMeras are evil and will destroy anyone who tries to cross them…they are monsters. But Kayla says she isn’t scared…even though Marlena says she should be. Marlena asks what is her plan with EJ, as Kayla rambles on about how he has tortured everyone. Marlena reminds her that revenge isn’t the answer, but Kayla says she only wants justice. Back in the car, Marlena assures Kayla that she too cares about Steve, but she can’t stand by and let Kayla protect him, while he may endanger others. Kayla spots a gas station and they stop to see if anyone has seen him. She learns from a trucker that he saw an overturned car up the road, so they take off.
Steve carries an unconscious Billie…
Into an abandoned cabin and puts her on the bed, angry that she wouldn’t listen to him. He goes to leave, sure that someone will find her (because of the map she left). She wakes up, calling for him, but passes out. Later, he wakes her up, wiping her face with a cold cloth (she has a cut on her forehead). He tells her about flipping the car and says he had to make sure she was okay before he left. She tells him that she isn’t afraid of him and he says she should be. Finally, he says he has to go, but she says he can’t escape something that is a part of him. He wants to leave but she tries to convince him to turn himself in, saying she will stand by him. He says he can’t trust her and they argue about the accident and who’s fault it was. He gives her his phone so she can call for help and goes to the door. He opens it to find Kayla and Marlena there. Kayla notices he is hurt and they go inside and Billie assures them she is okay. Steve tries to leave, but they stop him, trying to convince him to turn himself in. But he refuses to go back to the hospital. Marlena tries to convince him to go back with her and become her patient and promises she will do what she can. He says thanks but no thanks…he is leaving now. Marlena says he is going no where as he tells her to step aside. She says he is not leaving there…unless he turns himself in. Freeze frame on Steve…as the previews show…
Celeste (to EJ): I curse you for what you did to my girl… (EJ): Your “girl” ran off with her boy toy…(Celeste): No, my daughter is dead and there is no doubt in my mind that you ordered her death…
Marlena maces Steve and tells Kayla to help her rope him up…as Kayla stares. (Marlena): What is wrong with you?...
Belle (on the phone): I want to call the U.S….the United States…what is the problem?...I can’t get my call through…(as Shawn, holding Claire, watches)…
And the credits roll…

Episode #: 10529Tape Date: 2/15/07
Air Date: 3/19/07
Director: Phil Sogard
Summary: This show is pretty fast-paced, with LOTS going on. Nick offers help to a desperate Willow…which infuriates Chelsea…Steve forces Billie to help him escape…as Kayla convinces Marlena to help her find him. They are hot on their trail…but they aren’t the only ones onto them…EJ has figured it out as well. And speaking of EJ, he seems to just be everywhere in everyone’s business (as usual).
At Mythic…
Lucas is with Kate with swatches of fabric from Sami. She sent them so Kate could have a coordinating dress made for the wedding. Kate is (of course) disgusted and doesn’t want any part of it, claiming she already has a dress and refuses to exchange it. She says that Sami KNOWS she would never wear that color and thinks she is up to something, as Lucas accuses her of being paranoid. Lucas says she is either with them or against them…which will it be? Kate says she only doesn’t like Sami’s fashion sense…she is happy to be invited to the wedding, but says she is NOT going to jump through hoops to make Sami happy. Lucas presses her and she finally gives in and says she will have another dress made. Happily, Lucas leaves as Kate curses Sami.
At Sami’s…She and Chelsea are with the dress maker for their fittings. Chelsea jokes asking if this will be the LAST time she will be a bridesmaid for Sami. Sami says it had better be (as the dress maker seconds it). Sami says if it doesn’t take this time, she is joining the Foreign Legion. Chelsea assures her it will all work out but Sami worries even though she says she is doing the right thing this time. Chelsea asks her about inviting Kate and Sami says she did it for Lucas’s sake and she would do anything for him. Chelsea asks how she could forgive Kate for all the things she has done to her as Sami explains that a lot of people have forgiven her (Sami) as well. Chelsea says she could never forgive her family (especially her mom) and hates them all now. Sami says she understands what Chelsea is going through and explains about catching Marlena and John having an affair. She says she never confronted them and kept it all inside and let it fester for years, causing her many problems. And now, he may die and never know how much she really cares for him. She advises Chelsea to not make the same mistakes she made…she should talk to Billie as soon as possible. But Chelsea says she doesn’t plan on forgiving her as Sami reminds her that she (Chelsea) has been forgiven for a number of things. There is a knock at the door as Chelsea opens it to find (who else?) EJ. He sees Sami in her slip and takes the time to oogle her. Chelsea excuses herself as Sami puts on her robe, asking what HE wants? He says he wants what he always wants and says she looks lovely. He references “our” baby and she tells him it is NOT “ours”. She tells him she has had an amnio and will have the proof soon. He says that as long as there is a chance the baby is his, he will be around. He then tells her that she has been a naughty girl…again. She says she is busy planning her wedding and doesn’t have time for this. They argue over who is the daddy of her baby and she says if it were his, she would be able to feel the horns sticking her (LOL). He refers to the baby by name (little Stefano) which makes Sami’s skin crawl. He warns her that she had better not be up to something and leaves.
At Billie’s…EJ (who is there before going to Sami’s) demands to know why Billie lied to him about being with Chelsea earlier. She says she lied because she wanted to be alone and didn’t want to talk to him. He asks if she received a package recently that was unexpected and she says yes, but she gave it to the super. Behind the door, Nick picks up a pepper mill as a weapon. EJ leaves and Steve tells her let’s go and informs her they are going down the fire escape. Before they leave, there is a knock at the door and Chelsea calls out several times for Billie, wanting to talk to her. Billie begs Steve to let her talk to Chelsea, but he tells her they have to go. Chelsea gives up and leaves as Billie begs him not to make her go with him, but he says he needs her help, plus he doesn’t trust her, afraid she will call the cops as soon as he leaves.
At the Mental Hospital…
Kayla is pacing the floor, talking on the phone with Roman as Marlena arrives. Kayla fills her in as Marlena tries to assure her that Steve will be okay. Kayla apologizes for what happened with John, saying he was just another victim of the DiMeras. They both wonder if they will get their husbands back. Kayla says that Stefano did the same things to John and turned him into a violent person as well. But Marlena says she was never afraid of John. Marlena talks about how dangerous Steve has become…taking John from the hospital and having Kayla remove his kidney. Kayla again says how sorry she is, but Marlena (anger in her voice) says not sorry enough to stop what was happening. Marlena says that Steve is dangerous, but Kayla says it is EJ that is the dangerous one…he is the one that forced Steve to do those things. Marlena remembers when she and John found Stefano and how sick he was and they both deduce that the kidney was for Stefano. About that time, EJ calls Kayla and informs her that he knows where Steve is…at Billie’s. Marlena wants to call Roman and let the police handle it, but Kayla stops her and wants to do it on her own, fearing the police will harm him. Marlena says if she is determined, then she is going with her, so they take off. Later, they arrive at Billie’s as Kayla bangs on the door. She takes out a hair pin and picks the lock and breaks in (she claims that Bo showed her how to do it once). She calls for Steve, but only finds his hospital garb, saying that they are gone. Kayla wants to go after them, but Marlena again wants to call Roman. As Marlena is dialing the phone, Kayla finds a map tucked behind the sofa cushion and shows it to Marlena. They study the map and are sure this is where they are headed. Kayla begs Marlena to go with her to find them. She says give her one hour and if they don’t find them, then they will call Roman. Marlena reluctantly agrees, saying she will give her one hour as the rush out the door.
At the Hopsital…Willow is talking with the doctor…she has just had a sonogram and is assured that the baby (a boy) is fine. She also gives her some information and a prescription for vitamins, assuring her that Hope Brady is covering the bills. Willow is looking at the pictures of the baby as Nick walks up. She starts boo-hooing and goes into a pity party about what is she going to do? She whines about having no money, no job, etc. and says how is she going to find another job?...use one of her old tricks as a reference? She says she is just a pregnant ex-hooker whose only real job lasted only 2 weeks. She says maybe she is getting just what she deserves. She says she never wanted to be a mother…poor kid. She gets up to leave and faints as Nick gets her water. She comes to as Nick says he will try to help her by calling Uncle Mickey and mentions subsidized housing. She is thanking him and hugging him…just as Chelsea walks up and sees them. She clears her throat as she and Willow begin exchanging insults. Chelsea tells her she needs to talk to Nick alone so Willow leaves, thanking Nick. Nick starts apologizing to Chelsea but she doesn’t want to hear it. She says she can never trust and/or forgive him. She tells him that he means nothing to her. He says that he still loves her but she tells him he can’t say that to her anymore…it is over between them and she will never forgive him. With that, she leaves.
Later, Willow is home looking at baby books and the baby’s sonogram picture again. She takes the jewelry out of the fridge, asking what is she supposed to do with it. There is a knock at her door and she opens it to find Chelsea, who warns her to stay away from Nick.
Back with Kate…
She is bitching and moaning to herself about Sami when EJ walks in. She shows him the fabrics, saying she wouldn’t cover a dog’s bed with them. She says that Sami is just trying to torture her…as usual. EJ says that Sami has more things on her mind that torturing Kate, which piques Kate’s curiosity. She asks WHAT is Sami up to and says she knows that Sami is hiding something and wants to know what it is. She also thinks that EJ has his own agenda, but he says they have the same agenda…and reminds her what the Godfather said…to keep your friends close, and your enemies even closer as he starts kissing her neck.
Back at Sami’s…Lucas comes home asking how everything went. He tells her that Kate loved the fabrics which surprises Sami. He asks Sami if all that was some kind of test and she says maybe it was. He says, well then, Kate passed. He says that they are having Kate’s grandchild and she wants to be a part of their lives…and that is what is important. Sami wants to go and take a shower, so Lucas suggests he join her. But the phone rings and it is Kate, who apologizes for upsetting him earlier. She has a wonderful idea and wants to have a bridal shower for Sami. He thinks it is a good idea and Kate asks him not to tell Sami…and make it a surprise. Lucas tells her he is so happy that she is trying to get along. She says she will call later and they can plan the details. As she gets off the phone, she shares a smile with EJ. Lucas tells Sami he has a surprise for her…one that she is going to love.
Billie and Steve…Are now on the road as a nervous Billie drives and keeps one eye on the rear view mirror. Steve looks for the map but can’t find it. She says maybe they left it behind and he becomes angry, accusing her of leaving it on purpose. She tells him he is being paranoid, besides, WHO would be in her apartment? He yells at her to pull over, she is getting out, but she says he isn’t putting her out in the middle of nowhere. They struggle over the steering wheel as the car swerves and Billie screams…and the previews show…
Willow (to Chelsea): I have heard that you are the suspected pyro…(Chelsea): That is so untrue…(Willow): Why, is Daddy covering for you, again?...
Kayla (to Marlena): How many more lives does EJ have to ruin before somebody stops him?...maybe I’ll have to be the one to stop him…
Gabby (to Belle): My father can marry the 2 of you right here on the island…unless…there is some reason you don’t want to…
Duck (to Shawn): So which is it…you just young and dumb…or do you have something to hide?...
As the credits roll…
