Nicole spoke to Brady about putting Vivian in the coffin. She was trying to stop him from keeping Vivian in the coffin. Vivian sat in the coffin waiting to see if Nicole's speech would work. EJ's monitor went off when Stefano wanted to know who shot him. EJ did manage to tell Stefano that he knows who shot him. Sami thought about shooting EJ when Rafe wanted to talk about the wedding. EJ told Stefano that he shot himself. Stefano was shocked. Rafe wanted to know if Sami was hiding something from him, but she couldn't tell him. Philip let Melanie know that someone bought the house. Maggie was curious as to who would want the house out of the blue. It turned out that Victor bought the house. He ended up feeling guilty because of his feelings for Maggie. Brady told Nicole that Vivian wanted to put Maggie in the coffin to bury her alive. EJ recapped to Stefano about the night he was hot. Stefano told EJ that he didn't shoot himself and he could prove it. Victor went to Maggie's house to see Philip and Melanie, but talked to her about the two of them. Nicole kept trying to get Brady to let Vivian out of the coffin because it was the right thing to do. Roman showed up at Rafe and Sami's apartment. He wanted her to know that he was on his way to question EJ about the night he was shot. She quickly told him that EJ didn't remember anything. Stefano told EJ that his prints weren't on the gun. He told him that there was no way the wound was self-inflicted. He also told him that the gun was nowhere to be found. EJ realized who shot him. Philip and Melanie figured out that Victor is buying up the houses. They thought that Maggie was the reason why. EJ fingered Nicole as the shooter, but Stefano said she had an airtight alibi. Stefano mentioned two obvious suspects and EJ knew it was Sami and Will. Melanie suggested that she and Philip move in with Victor since he's buying up the houses they are trying to buy. Philip didn't want to move in with him, but Melanie was adamant. Brady wanted to make a deal with Nicole so Vivian could stay in the coffin. Stefano said Will was proven to be innocent of shooting EJ. EJ wasn't convinced that it wasn't Will. Stefano thought that Sami was the shooter. EJ said she had an alibi, but Stefano didn't think it mattered. He told EJ that Sami had motive and opportunity to shoot him and finish him off. Rafe wanted Sami to be honest with him because Stefano is suspicious of her and Will. In order for him to help Will, she had to talk to him. Brady offered himself to Nicole in order to keep her from selling him out. He kissed her, but got slapped. EJ was stressed out at the idea of Sami trying to kill him while he was in a coma. Stefano told him how Sami wanted to take him off of life support since she had the rights to his living will. He intimated that Sami rushed to do it in order to protect herself or Will. He had a plan to get back at both of them. His plan was to have one of them arrested (Sami or Will) to see which one would hurt Sami the most. Roman showed up in EJ's room to question him about the shooting. Sami told Rafe that she knows who shot EJ.
Nicole: Okay, Brady, I need to make something clear. When I covered for you in front of Victor... Brady: Yeah? Nicole: Oh, and God only knows how many times you've covered for me. He would have blown up, and it would have been horrible, but... Brady: But what? Nicole: We need to talk about what you did. You put a living human being inside a coffin. Brady: No, I didn't, I put Vivian in a coffin. Nicole: It's wrong, Brady! And in your heart, you know it is. Vivian: My God, my fate rests in Nicole DiMera's sense of morality? Brady: You said that with a straight face. Nicole: I know. But we're talking about you, and you care about this kind of stuff. Brady: [Laughs] I'm actually enjoying this a lot more than I thought I would. Nicole: Brady... okay, the clock is ticking. Even if she has water and air in there, Brady-- Brady: She has everything she deserves-- Nicole: You can't do this! This was a spur-of-the-moment thing for you, wasn't it? Brady: Yeah. Yeah, it was. Oh, I mean, she did all the planning. I just changed one small, little thing. Nicole: Okay, Brady, look, you are talking to someone who-- who knows about trying to dodge the consequences of spur-of-the-moment decisions, but we need to face the facts here. I'm the only one who knows about this, right? Brady: Well, Vivian knows about it too. Vivian: You smug son of a bitch. Nicole: Right. [Chuckles] Brady: What's so funny? Nicole: I just realized that for the first time ever between us, I'm the one with the upper hand. Brady: That's true. What do you think you're gonna do about that? Nicole: I don't know. I guess we're just gonna have to discuss it. [SCENE_BREAK] [Monitor beeping] Stefano: You know, I-- I do not want to upset you by talking about it--what happened. EJ: I got shot. Given our line of work, I don't think we need to be too evasive. Stefano: Fine. You got shot. But I want to know, before you talk to the police, hmm? Do you know who did it? [Monitor beeping rapidly] Stefano: What is it? EJ: Yes. Stefano: What is it? EJ: I do. Stefano: What's happening? Elvis, what's happening? [SCENE_BREAK] Rafe: So we finally got some time alone, and you're gonna clam up on me? Sami: No, I'm not. I'm just... trying to figure out how to-- you know, it's exhausting being me. I mean, it's just hard enough. I imagine what it must be like for my kids. Rafe: Fun? Sami: Traumatizing. I mean, you know, one second they see me about to marry Johnny's dad, and the next thing they know I'm wearing your ring... Rafe: Except when you're not. Sami: And now we're living here in sin. Rafe: We're engaged. Sami: Well, I don't know that that distinction means a lot to the kids. Rafe: Did you know that I talked to Daniel today? Sami: No. What does that have to do with this? Rafe: Actually, it has a lot to do with this, because he plans on marrying Chloe ASAP. Sami: Which, of course, I have absolutely no understanding why he would do that, but I don't care. Rafe: Well, fair enough, but it inspired me, so you should care, because I want to marry you as soon as possible. Sami: You really mean that? Rafe: Yes, I mean that. God, you're crazy. Listen, I--actually, I've been looking at this place. Sami: What? What place? Rafe: The Green Mountain Lodge. Come here, check it out. Sami: Oh, God. Rafe: Come here. What do you mean, "Oh, God"? Sami: I just--it's... Rafe: Look at this place. It's awesome. It's not expensive. It's close by. We could go there. We could take the kids. We could get married. No one even has to know. Sami: It's beautiful there. Rafe: So what do you say? You know what? It'd be like a second chance. You're starting over. [Silenced gunshot] [Glass shatters] Rafe: Evidently that was a bad idea. What is it? What's wrong? [SCENE_BREAK] Stefano: Calm down. You have to calm down. Calm. [Monitor beeping rapidly] Stefano: All right, look, I tell you what. I'll call the nurse. EJ: No, don't. No. Stefano: No, look... EJ: Don't. It's... Stefano: I can leave here. We do not have to talk. EJ: Yes... yes, we do. Yes, we do. I have something to tell you. Stefano: All right. EJ: You want to know who shot me? Stefano: Mm-hmm. EJ: I-I shot myself. [SCENE_BREAK] Sami: No, no, Rafe, nothing is wrong. Rafe: Well, the look on your face says otherwise. Sami: You know what? I was just thinking about what's happened. And I have to stop doing that. I have to focus on things that are going to happen-- what we're gonna make happen, you know? 'Cause you're right, we have another chance, and--and we have to make the most of it. Rafe: That--see, that is what I'm talking about. That's the attitude. There's something else I want to talk to you about. Sami: Okay. Rafe: You know I love you, right? No matter what? Yes? Sami: Yes. Rafe: I want you to know that you can trust me. Sami: Rafe, I do trust you. Rafe: No, I know that you trust me to look after you or deal with EJ--stuff like that. But I'm talking about... if you tell me something, I'm-- I'm not gonna freak out on you. Just... I-I'll listen. Okay? So if there's something that you want to tell me... Sami: I can't... not about this. Rafe: Sami. [SCENE_BREAK] Stefano: No. No. EJ: [Groans] Stefano: No. EJ: Yes. Stefano: No, no. EJ: Yes! Stefano: No, no. Let me-- you only--you think you did, see? Because... you hallucinated in your coma. EJ: You know it makes sense, Father. I lost Samantha. I lost my children. I disgraced my family... you. Stefano: You wanted to kill yourself? EJ: I nearly did it. Stefano: No. That's where you're wrong. [SCENE_BREAK] Melanie: This is the coolest part about the whole house. Maggie: [Gasps] Mm-hmm. So far, that's the 11th coolest thing in the house. Melanie: Okay, well, the coolest coolest thing about the whole house is that it's only two blocks away from you. Maggie: Aha. I am surprised it's not in the listing. "Close to Maggie Horton." That means it's prime real estate. Melanie: It should say that. Maggie: Ah, yes. Mm-hmm. Melanie: Okay, look at this. On the second floor, there's a sunroom, where we can sit and have tea and look out over all the trees. Maggie: That is so very, very cool. Melanie: I know. Maggie: Oh, honey... I wish I had a picture of that smile. Melanie: Oh, well, we could do that. We'll take a picture. Look. Maggie: Oh, okay, together. Melanie: Smile. [Giggles] Philip, we're taking pictures of our smiles. Maggie: [Laughs] Melanie: You're not smiling, though. No. No, no. Philip: We didn't get the house. Melanie: Well, this is my sunroom. Philip: At the last minute, someone came in and trounced our offer. They didn't even come back to me for a counter. Melanie: Fine. Then we're trouncing their trouncing. Think of colors for the living room. Maggie: All right. Melanie: I'll be right back. Philip: I think I'd better go with her. She gets a little unpredictable. Maggie: I think so. Mm-hmm. Eight months this house has been on the market, and now it's a bidding war? Hmm. Did someone really want that house that much... or not want them to get it? [SCENE_BREAK] Victor: No, I don't want to wait for the damn inspection report to come in. Just close on the house. So... Phillip, it's not as if you and Melanie aren't perfectly happy at Maggie's. Yeah, who knows? I might even make a little money on the house when the market comes back. Somehow... I feel... guilty. Damn you, Maggie Horton! [SCENE_BREAK] Nicole: Just imagine the hours I spent pleading with you to cover for me. And now the shoe's on the other foot. Brady: It appears to be. Are you gonna rat me out? Vivian: That woman has no respect whatsoever. And my life is in her hands. Nicole: It's for your own good, Brady... for your own good. Brady: I'm really surprised. You know, I-I thought that you'd enjoy this a lot more. Nicole: [Scoffs] I don't enjoy watching someone go down the tubes, especially someone I love. Brady: Nicole, listen to me. Listen to me. This crypt... it's wired for sound, as you know, okay? It's also equipped with a video monitor. Hi, Vivie. It also has an air tube, okay? And assorted paraphernalia for dealing with the prosaic necessities of crypt life. I mean, if you happened to stumble across a crypt like this... and you had to guess the mastermind behind it, what name would just pop into your head? Nicole: Vivian. Brady: She wanted me to put her in here. She asked me. She wants to atone for her sins. Vivian: Liar! Nicole: Liar. Brady: The truth is horrible. The truth is she was gonna throw Maggie in there. Nicole: What? Maggie? You mean "never hurt a fly" Maggie Horton? Nicole: Yeah, that Maggie Horton. Vivian was jealous of her. So her response was not to go on her Facebook page and write some mean things about Maggie Horton. Her response was to bury her alive. Nicole: Oh, Brady... I get why you did this. Vivian: No! No! [SCENE_BREAK] Rafe: Sami, why can't you talk to me? Is it me? Sami: You know what? It's not! It's that nothing has to be about you all the time, you know? I mean, like, you're always like agent need-to-know- everybody's- secrets! Some things aren't about you, okay? Rafe: I'm not talking about your personal secrets. I'm just trying to help you, or your family, for that matter. Sami: You do. You help us all the time. Rafe: Okay. Sami: "Okay"? Rafe: Okay. That's my new rule. If you don't want me to push, I'm not gonna push. Sami: Rafe, it's not that I-I don't want you to push or... Rafe: It's cool. I understand. And you know what? You're right. Because sometimes I do have a problem being agent all-up-in-your-secrets to being agent fiancé. Sami: You are the best fiancé. And I know you're gonna make the best husband. And I love you so much. [SCENE_BREAK] EJ: I did it... Father. I remember it very clearly. I went downstairs... got the gun... scotch in my hand. I went back up to Samantha's bedroom... and I put the gun to my head. [Monitor beeping] EJ: And then I passed out. It was probably that eighth or ninth glass of scotch that saved my life. I just... didn't want to wake to see the next morning. Stefano: No. You did not do it... hmm? And I can prove it. [SCENE_BREAK] Melanie: I want that house! Philip: I know. Melanie: And I wanted the one before it. Why can't we buy a house? Philip: I--something doesn't add up. I don't know. Melanie: It's like somebody doesn't want us to get a house. Philip: That doesn't make any sense. Does it? Victor: I was just in the neighborhood. I thought I'd stop by and have a little visit with Philip and Melanie. Maggie: They're not here. They went out. Victor: Oh, darn. Do you think it'd be all right if I waited? Maggie: Yes, of course. Come in and sit. You know, I'm just thinking about you. Victor: Really? Isn't that amazing? I was just thinking about you. Maggie, I think this speaks volumes. Maggie: No. You see, what I was thinking was that I was pretty sure I hadn't seen the last of you. Victor: I just stopped by to see Philip. I haven't forgotten what you said about there being nothing more between us. Maggie: Hmm. Well, that was stupid. [Sighs] Victor: Maggie... Maggie: Um, what I said was right. It was just stupid, because I knew it wouldn't work. Victor, if I told you that you couldn't got to Tripoli and stand on your head, in 30 seconds you'd be on your way to the airport with a yoga mat under your arm. Victor: You know, standing on your head prevents hair loss. Maggie: You're oppositional. You're just like a two-year-old. Victor: I'm young at heart. Maggie: Yes, and you would do anything to get what you want... no matter who it hurt. [SCENE_BREAK] Vivian: Everyone takes that redheaded floozy's side! Nicole: She was gonna bury Maggie Horton alive? Brady: She forged letters to her friends and family so that they would think she was out of town. She was planning this for weeks. Nicole: God, she--she does-- she deserves it. Brady, hell, she deserves it for that dress she wore to her own wedding. Vivian: I can hear you! Nicole: We're not talking about her. We're talking about you, Brady. And you cannot do this. You can't. Brady: It appears I already have. Nicole: All right, you know what? I-I don't care what you do to this wack job, but I care about what happens to you, Brady. And if-- and this is a really big if-- if you get away with this... it will still kill you inside. Vivian: Damn it, I'm the one running out of air. Who the hell cares what happens to his damned insides? Nicole: Brady, you can't let her die in there! Vivian: Listen to her. You can't let me die in here! Brady: What do you want me to do? You want me to open this thing up? Let her out, hope for the best? Nicole: Let her stay in there and die? Brady: Maybe. I think there was a time when I had a choice. But I think that ship has sailed. No, I, uh... I think Vivian's gonna stay in here. Nicole: But you know what I wish? I wish I did this. Vivian: What have I ever done to you? Nicole: Because me, I mean, I-I get myself in these kinds of jams, okay? And-- and I roll with the punches, and I do stupid things, right or wrong, and I don't lose sleep over it. But you--this is gonna eat away at you, Brady. Even if you don't go to jail, you will pay for this. Brady: Maybe not. Maybe I've toughened up a little bit, Nicole. And maybe my insides aren't as fragile as they used to be. Nicole: I don't believe that. Brady: I'll bet she does. [SCENE_BREAK] [Knock on door] Roman: Sami, you guys home? Rafe: Oh, my God, are you kidding? We had all this time alone, and I wasted it talking. Sami: Well, we were talking about getting married, you know. Rafe: Well, we could have done that with the kids here. Sami: I'll get rid of him quick. Hey, Dad. Roman: Hey! Sami: Hi. Roman: Hi, sweetheart. Hey, Rafe. What do you say, man? Sami: Hey, Dad, why don't I give you a tour of the place? Roman: Nice place here. Rafe: Can I get you a beer or something? Roman: Uh, no. You know what? I'm gonna take a rain check on that. I don't really have time. Uh, I just came to give you two a heads-up. I'm on my way to, uh, talk to EJ. Lexie says he's ready for questioning. Sami: Oh. Roman: Yeah. I want to find out what he remembers about that night. Sami: He doesn't. He doesn't remember anything. [SCENE_BREAK] EJ: You can prove I didn't shoot myself? How? Stefano: All right, first... there was no gunpowder on your hands. And then when the police traced the trajectory of the bullet, it was confirmed that the wound could not possibly be self-inflicted. Ah, now... the other thing was that the gun was not found in the room. As a matter of fact, the gun has never been found. [Sighs] This-- it has to be an inside job. I mean, using that gun that was locked up in the drawer in the desk, hmm? On the night that it was discovered that you kidnapped Sydney... I mean, it has to be the motive! Otherwise it's too wildly coincidental. EJ: Well, this is Salem. Stefano: [Laughs mockingly] And this is not funny. EJ: No, it's not. But I think I know who did this. [SCENE_BREAK] Victor: You know, you wound me more than any person I have ever known. Maggie: Good. Victor: You say hurtful, hurtful things. Maggie: It's called the truth. Victor: You're right. I am a ruthless person. Maggie: Oh, Lord. Victor: But thanks to you, it's beginning to bother me. Maggie: Victor, I beg, would you please not be sincere? Victor: You see right through me. Maggie: I'm gonna go somewhere else... and do something. Philip: Oh, look who's here. What a surprise. Melanie: Victor. Victor: Melanie. Why the long faces? Philip: I think you know. Victor: Excuse me? Philip: No, no, I won't. [Cell phone rings] Maggie: Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Victor: Oh, I have to take this. Excuse me. Melanie: So you think Victor's buying all our houses? Why? Philip: Why does he do anything these days? Because of you. Maggie: What? Philip: Yep. This is all your fault, all your fault. Melanie: [Chuckles] [SCENE_BREAK] Roman: How do you know he doesn't remember anything? Sami: Because I've seen him, and--and he thinks we're still together. He thinks we got married. Roman: Wait a minute, wait a minute. He thinks you went ahead and married the guy who stole your baby and told you she was dead? Sami: No, he doesn't remember that part of the night. Roman: He says he doesn't remember that part of the night. I mean, somebody may have shot him in the head, but he is still a hard-core DiMera. Rafe: So are you gonna tell him what happened-- that she knows everything? Sami: 'Cause Lexie told us that we're not supposed to upset him. Roman: Well, I really don't give a rat's ass about upsetting him. But actually, I'm not gonna tell him, not until I've figured out what that worm and his old man are up to. [SCENE_BREAK] Stefano: You know who did this? EJ: Isn't it obvious? Nicole. She knows killing her is on my to-do list. Stefano: [Sighs] She has motive, yes. Opportunity, no. She has an alibi. EJ: Alibis can be arranged. Stefano: Yes, but hers was confirmed by the FBI that was assigned to her to protect her from you. Don't you think they would have missed her if she had paid you a midnight visit? EJ: That's too bad. I'd have liked to see her fry for that one. Stefano: I'm sure. And I think I know why you have brought her out-- because you are trying to steer me away from the two most obvious suspects. EJ: Will and Samantha. [SCENE_BREAK] Philip: I know, I know. All's fair in love and real estate. Take care. I got confirmation from all three agents. Victor is on a house-buying spree. Oddly enough, only interested in houses we have a bid on. Maggie: Mm, I was afraid it was something like that. Melanie: So he's-- he's buying houses so that he doesn't lose his built-in excuse to come see you? Maggie: Hmm. That's really expensive stalking. Melanie: Yeah, it is. I'm glad I ruined his hydrangeas. Maggie: What? Philip: The thing is, Maggie, I don't think he's gonna stop bothering you until we move. Melanie: And we can't move because he keeps buying everything we like. Maggie: Oh, I'm so sorry. Melanie: I'm sorry. Is this funny to you? Philip: I was just thinking that your feminine allure might be just what it takes to revitalize the Salem real-estate market. Melanie: [Laughs] That's funny, 'cause I was thinking of backing the car up over him. Philip: Hey, before you do that, can we talk about this for a minute? Maggie: Okay, well, I'm gonna let you two do this alone, okay? How did you stay so sane with a father like that? Philip: Look, I am sorry. You shouldn't have to deal with my crazy father. Melanie: It's okay. It's not really crazy. It's sweet-- you know, maddening, but sweet. Philip: That's--that's him. Melanie: I have an idea. Philip: No. No, not an idea. Melanie: No, I have a good-- no, it's okay. It's a good one. Okay, so we can't leave here, because every house we like, he goes off and buys. So the solution is that we move in with him. Philip: No. Melanie: Yes. Philip: No! Melanie: Yes! Philip: No. No! Melanie: Think about it. You're worried about him 'cause he's lonely. And as much as you really try hard not to, you love him very much. Philip: And I love you. Melanie: Yeah, you should. I'm good. Maggie! It's settled. Oh, hey, Victor, come on in! We have a surprise for you! Philip: [Sighs deeply] [SCENE_BREAK] Nicole: Okay, Brady, I-I know why you did it. But it doesn't change the fact that we still have to get her out of there. Brady: You know, I stood by you, Nicole. Nicole: People will understand. Just tell the judge what you told me, okay? And--and he'll praise you for your restraint. Brady: What about her, hmm? Have you been around the last six months? Do you know what Vivian Alamain does to get revenge? She's not gonna go after me. She's gonna go after the people I love. Vivian: God... [Sighs] He knows me better than I thought he did. Brady: I will not unleash her on the world again. Nicole: All right, so we'll find a way to neutralize her. Brady: Looks like I already have. Nicole: Then we'll make some kind of deal with her, Brady. Brady: How about this? How about I make some kind of deal with you? Vivian: No. No. [SCENE_BREAK] Stefano: I do not think it was William. EJ: You don't want it to be William. Stefano: That's true. I ordered a DNA test on that drawer and the gun box, and I have to tell you, honestly, I was very happy that he was eliminated. EJ: Father, Samantha has an alibi. Stefano: Yes, and she manipulated you. EJ: No, Father, I think the truth is I manipulated her. Stefano: Oh, for goodness' sake, she had you eating out of her hand, all right? And that alibi of hers doesn't mean a damn thing to me. EJ: Who are you, judge and jury now? Stefano: Yes. Yes, I am. You see, not only did she have the opportunity and the motive to shoot you, she also had the motive and the opportunity to finish you off in your coma! She tried, Elvis. Oh, God, did she try. [SCENE_BREAK] Sami: All right, Dad, well, let us know what he says. Roman: I will. I will. And, Rafe, I'd tell you to keep an eye on her, but apparently I don't have to do that. Sami: [Laughs] Dad! Roman: See you both later. Sami: Bye. God. Rafe: He's right, you know. He's right about Stefano. He's not gonna let this go. I saw what he did to Anna. She was thousands of miles away, much less across town. Sami: What are you talking about? Look, you don't know who shot EJ and neither does Stefano DiMera. Rafe: Well, Stefano thinks he knows who shot EJ-- either you or Will. And certainly will makes sense. Sami, listen to me. I know you're scared, but you've got to talk to me, especially if you expect me to protect Will. Please. [SCENE_BREAK] Nicole: I, uh... I don't know what you mean. Brady: Yes, you do. Nicole: Brady, come on, we-- we have to let her out of there. Brady: And if I don't? Nicole: Then I will be forced to-- Brady: You'll be forced to what, turn me in? You wouldn't do that. I don't think you're gonna do that. You know too much about prison to do that to me, Nicole. Come on. Nicole: I don't think that'll happen. People will understand. Brady: Well, that's an awfully big risk to take with my life-- a life that you said was very important to you at one time. Vivian: Gag me with a spoon. Brady: And besides, you're on my side. You love me, remember? Vivian: Nicole, you can't be that stupid. You can't fall for this. Nicole: I do want what's best for you. Vivian: What am I talking about? She can be that stupid. She's Nicole. Brady: We had a really good thing going for a brief time, even if only one night... but I blew it. I blew it because I was judgmental. And if Vivian here has taught me anything, it's to not be so quick to judge people and what they do when they're pushed too far. Vivian: Oh, don't you blame me for your immorality, you little weasel! Nicole: So, Brady, are you saying that-- Brady: I'm saying that I think Vivian Alamain, in a crazy way, gave you and I a second chance. Vivian: Oh... spare me! Nicole: You son of a bitch. Vivian: Good girl. [SCENE_BREAK] Sami: Okay, I get it. You think I have some sort of insider information as to what happened that night. Rafe: I know you do. And I also know keeping it inside is not gonna do anyone a damn bit of good. So what happened? Sami: Rafe-- Rafe: Sami, listen to me. It is time to tell the truth. Now, tell me what happened. Sami: I can't. I can't Rafe. I'm sorry, but I can't. [SCENE_BREAK] Stefano: No, no, no. No, no, what are you doing? No, no, no, you have to watch your blood pressure, come on. Elvis, come on, relax. EJ: Relax? Relax? You just told me Samantha tried to kill me twice, and you want me to relax? Stefano: All right, look, I'll call Alexandra, okay? EJ: No, you will stay right here, and you will tell me exactly what you meant by that, all right? Now, what did she try to do to me when I was in a coma, Father? Stefano: You know what? Maybe you need to hear this. She had your living will... hmm? You gave her permission about, uh, resuscitating you... or not. EJ: Yeah. Stefano: You put her in charge of your life. And she decided to pull the plug. EJ: No. Stefano: Yes. Yes, Elvis, yes. The woman wanted you dead. Huh? So now what is she doing? She's trying to cover for herself or for her son. And if that's the case... I think I know how you can pay them back. [SCENE_BREAK] Victor: You're moving in with me? Maggie: You're moving in with him? You really don't have to. It's okay. Melanie: No, no, no, no. We've intruded on you long enough. Maggie: Intruded? No. You were a Godsend. Melanie: Well, now we're gonna be a Godsend to Papa Vic. Victor: Don't ever call me that again. Melanie: Oh, I think of this like it was written in the stars, you know, 'cause here you are, rattling around that big old house all by yourself, and we need a place to live. So I'm glad. I'm glad that somebody keeps buying all the houses we're interested in, because now, Victor, you and I are really gonna get to know each other. Do you know how to play mahjongg? Victor: No. Melanie: Oh, that's okay. I'll teach you. This guy in France taught me. It's a really fun game. But you just let me know if I get too annoying, and I'll just come over here and pop back with Maggie. Victor: [Chuckles] Well, I think I'll go give Henderson a heads-up, get things ready for you kids. Melanie: Sure. Victor: See you later, Maggie. Maggie: Bye, Victor. I-I guess we won't be seeing too much of each other anymore. Victor: Yes, well, as long as the kids are happy. Maggie: You're gonna make him pay for taking those houses, aren't you? Melanie: Something tells me Victor doesn't like cheerful, and he has not seen cheerful like I'm gonna be cheerful. Maggie: You really don't have to do this for me. Philip: I don't know about that. I don't think he would stop bothering you until we move. I mean, you do want him to stop bothering you, right? Victor: They think they're so damn smart. Well, this isn't over, not by a long shot. [SCENE_BREAK] Brady: I guess I deserved that. Nicole: That, my friend, was a page from my playbook. You were stupid to use it on me. Brady: This is role reversal, isn't it? I mean, you're calling me out on rotten behavior, and you got the right to do it. [Scoffs] Nicole: You know what? Maybe we should talk about this somewhere else. Brady: There's something I got to say to you right now. Maybe there was a little part of me back there that was trying to play you. But there's another part of me that, when you squared off with me just now when you found out what I did-- fought for my soul... you fight for me. There's fire, and it's always there with us, isn't it? It's always there. It's just right-- right under the surface. But it's always dying to come out. Vivian: Do you really think she's going to buy it the second time around? You think you're irresistible. Well... [Chuckles] Think again. Ugh, no. Hello? I can see you! [SCENE_BREAK] EJ: You think I should pay her back. Stefano: I think that you are in a position to either put Samantha or William in jail. Now, we just have to decide which would hurt Samantha the most. [Knock on door] Stefano: Quiet. Roman: Hello, gentlemen. All right, let's talk about the shooting. I need to know exactly what happened. [SCENE_BREAK] Rafe: Yes, you can. Of course, you can tell me the truth. Hey, we're in this together. You know I love you, right? Sami: I know that. Rafe: And that I would do anything for you. Sami: I know that too. Rafe: Okay. So just tell me. Sami: All right. All right. I know who shot EJ. [NEXT_ON] Vivian: Just tell me the police are coming-- that this whole nightmare's gonna be over with. EJ: Hernandez and Samantha are not gonna live happily ever after. Sami: I want to tell you everything.
