In addition, if he cannot bear to lose said power, he should be honest with Stephanie about it. Phil sighs he loves her. But it is a tough decision.

Vic claims he is concerned for the people he loves and he is sad to see her and Phil break up. They are so in love. Steph talks survival. Vic wants a favor. "No," says she. The Greek tycoon looks her in the eye and asks her to consider what she is doing very carefully.

Vic patiently explains that if she testifies against EJ, people she loves could be killed. Steph gets sarcastic. Vic praises her for being like her grandmother.

Outside, Steph lets Phil know she has an interview at the hospital. She is leaving Titan. And she will not change her mind about anything.

He yells that Steph must be hysterical and perhaps Philip is putting her up to it! Besides, the judge is on their side. Nicole is doubtful. Elvis snaps he does not like her attitude. She warns him that Steph has NEVER told a lie in her life and she wants to help her cousin. "She is one hell of a witness!" Elvis calls Nicole disloyal. She insists she is worried. What if the judge decides to rule against the crime family? Steph will testify in open court so the press will get wind of it, not to mention the D.A., who will not let it slip. Nicole begs him to think of what he plans o do. He solemnly ponders her words. Nicole later returns with baby Syd, to show him what is at stake. Elvis reminds her she originally supported him in his bid for custody. She cries she just does not want him to go to jail. He points out this is not just about her and Syd, as he has another child. Nicole understands and implores him to also do right by Johnny. He insists he is and that is why he does not want him raised by his lying mother. Nicole does not think his wanting to hit back at Sami will work in the long run. "You're just furious that Sami played God, and what's Johnny gonna think when he finds out?" Elvis has a drink. Nicole is afraid he will end up in jail, or if not, Johnny will hate him for taking him away from his mother. He is Stefano's grandson so his hatred will be cold and unyielding. Elvis suspects she is talking about her own feelings. Nicole sighs she could never hate him. She loves him and he and Syd are her whole world. She understands about loss and fighting to keep what one has, but what if things do not turn out the way he hopes? She cries and begs him not to risk losing what they have. Elvis relents.

They hug on it. - At the park, Hope is with Ciara. She gives her Mr. Giraffe to play with instead of tommybear and reminds her to play where she can see her. Ciara skips away to play.

Ciara plays and later makes a trade with her friend. She exchanges the giraffe for a teddy bear she thinks looks like her tommybear. - At Java Cafe, Hope and Bo are at a table. She calls him a good man for trying to talk to Phil, but Bo is exasperated. "I just wanted to smack him upside the head!" He should have walked away from the Kiriakis power to be with Steph. BOPE are mighty impressed with Stephanie's return to honesty. Bo believes Phil could be happy like him if only he gave up the Kiriakis power for the woman he loved. The conversation soon turns to the latest vision Bo had of Ciara. Hope is worried that something might happen to her. After losing Zack ... she could not go thru it again. Bo and Hope eventually head for the park to pick up Ciara, who, unbeknownst to them, has "tommybear" in her backpack. - Back at DiMera mansion, Elvis tells Nicole he does not wish to put his family thru the trauma of the custody trial. He will do what is safer and he will come to some arrangement with Samantha. However, he will never forgive her. "If anybody ever betrays me like that again, they will be punished ...!" Nicole's eyes fill with dread as she remembers her own betrayal! Next on Days of Our Lives Mel tells Brady she is doing damage control. He disagrees and insists he can handle his own life, but she explains she is working for Philip right now. Steph tells Phil on her cell. "We need a clean break, okay. Don't call me again."

At the house of Kiriakis, manservant Henderson opens the door to Steph. Phil appears, pleased to see her, though she did not plan to see him. He whips out a velvet box. "Peace offering." A necklace with the Greek symbol for eternity. Steph refuses to accept the gift. Fact of the matter is she only came by to return her car key and car. It is over. He will not listen, however. Steph cries she cannot sleep or think straight. He laments she is the only woman for him. Simple Steph does not wish to live without him but does not know what else to do. He suggests they run away to Greece together, like she asked before. She starts to cry more. They kiss. The prodigal son vows he would do anything for her. He wants her now.

Victor mentions peace and warns Bo to drop it. - Bo later makes for the house of Kiriakis, where he finds Phil alone, drowning his sorrows. He says he ran into Vic, who told him to back off so he and Steph could be happy. Phil updates Bo. There is no more him and Steph, all because of what is means to be connected to Victor Kiriakis! Bo recalls how he himself once turned his back on the clan and advises his brother to decide what he really wants - money and power or Stephanie ... - Outside the Horton cabin, nekid showering Mel is shocked to see Nathan, who is shocked to see her! Inside, Ari and shirtless Brady come very close to kissing, but are interrupted by the sound of shrieking Mel. They race out to see what the commotion is all about. Brady grabs the peeping tom by the scruff of the neck until Mel points out he is her roommate. Brady realizes this is "the guy" and mutters as much. The fellas start chatting. Shivering Mel is annoyed. The party give her her privacy, but first Nathan would like to know what Brady meant that he was the guy. Mel quips he is the guy who is super egotistical. He chuckles they need to stop meeting this way and pauses before returning inside. "Lavender, my favorite!" he teases. - Back inside, dressed Mel joins the group. Brady is curious how Nathan got there. By using the Horton motorboat, which was on its last leg. The television does not properly work. What to do?

The guys soon lose some items of clothing and Mel gets a full house. The guys are down to their boxer shorts. The game continues ... - At the Java Cafe, Mia denies that Chad is her boyfriend. Chadman shrugs his shoulders and admits calling himself her boyfriend is an old habit he cannot seem to break. Will gives him the evil eye. Mia says she cannot talk as she is at work now. Chad expresses his displeasure that she can talk to this dork, but not him! Will tells jerk to leave her alone. "Catch you later, babe," Chad drawls at Mia and walks away, shoving past Will, who wants to know why she never told him about this guy. Mia serves Will, who wants to talk Chad. She pretends he was only someone she went out with a few times and calls him a psycho. Meanwhile, Chad glares from across the room. Once Mia is off duty, she and Will decide to go play goofy golf. When she goes home to get changed, Chadman approaches Will. They face off. Will warns him to stay away from Mia. Chad will not and boasts how much she was into him once upon a time. - Meanwhile, Mia is alone at Maggie's, remembering how much she cared for Chad in high school. And now they have a baby in Salem! - At DiMera mansion, Nicole ends her almost call to Sami and smiles at EJ. He wants to know why she was on the phone to Samantha. "Answer my question," he demands. He raises his voice and accuses her of keeping something from him. He intends to find out what it is! Nicole pretends Sami has been calling her, to ask her to convince him to drop the custody suit. Elvis is baffled that she would call Nicole. Nicole points out they are both mothers and perhaps she thought she would be sympathetic. Elvis hopes she is no longer sympathetic, but she evidently is. EJ loses his cool. "So you're on her side!" His face turns red and he continues to yell about Samantha not telling him about his child until after she was dead. Nicole yells back. When Elvis hears he is her priority, he apologizes for taking out his frustrations on her. He is sorry Samantha is harassing his wife now. "DAMN HER!" Nicole calms him down and he praises her for her patience. He is sorry he has been impossible lately. She understands, as he lost a child he never got to meet. Elvis reminds himself he has her and Sydney and a wonderful son. Nicole brings up the fact that this is about more than Grace dying. It is about DECEPTION. Elvis gets teary-eyed and does not want to talk about Samantha. They hug. Enter the phoenix, who praises "the mother of our Sydney," a hint of irony in his voice. Elvis gets a message about the custody case and leaves the room to use his cell. Nicole and Stefano take a seat. He wonders just what her latest devilish exploits might be and laughs, recalling her scarf and sunglasses for a disguise when she arranged for Giovanni to secretly meet his mother Samantha. He knows all, and she is slipping! The phoenix shudders to think what wrath she would incur from Elvis if he knew the whole truth! Nicole considers and reminds him that he too is keeping the secret of Sydney and Grace from him! Stefano assures her he is still her ally, but DiMeras will choose their own blood when forced to make a choice. Miffed Nicole does not want to hear more and goes outside. Stefano sighs, picks up a wedding picture of Nicole and EJ, and mutters that woman will not deprive him of his progeny (descendants). Enter Elvis. "Are you talking about Nicole?" The phoenix covers that he was referring to Samantha. EJ remarks that Stefano did not seem bothered by Grace's death and then wonders if he is just paranoid. He admits he does not understand why Nicole thinks he is being hard on Samantha, who deceived him and therefore does not deserve to raise his son! - At Brady pub, Nicole comes across Steph. Mrs. DiMera is looking for Brady. Steph has not seen him and laments she and Phil are over, as she called off the engagement. "What happened?" asks Nicole. Stephanie retorts she cannot live like a Kiriakis. She would have been expected to put the Kiriakis family interests first by lying about E.J.'s involvement in her kidnapping, instead of doing right by her cousin Sami. Nicole's face falls. Does this mean she will testify against Elvis at the custody hearing tomorrow? "I'm gonna do what's right," quips Steph. Nicole takes it all in and then reacts. She cannot testify against EJ. There is no proof ! Steph suggests she find her conscience. Nicole warns she will do anything to protect her family and storms off as Victor enters. The Greek tycoon sits across the table from Steph and remarks it did not sound like she and Nicole were about to sign a treaty. Steph gets uncomfortable and then declares she and Philip are over, but Victor refuses to accept her decision ...! - Nicole returns to DiMera mansion, where EJ is going over custody papers. She nervously announces they have to talk about this situation with Sami. "Everything's changed ...!" Next on Days of Our Lives "I couldn't do it, Brady. I couldn't go through it again," Hope frowns at Bo. "I'm sorry but I don't think this is gonna work," Ari informs Brady. Steph implores Phil to let her go and just say goodbye. "EJ, is that what you want? Is that what you want for your son?" whispers Nicole. Wednesday, July 8, 2009 TRUE LIES! 'Tis morning in Salem and its surroundings ... Ari enters the Horton cabin, only to be followed by Brady. "What the hell are you doing here?" they say in unison! Enter Mel, who eagerly greets them both. They now realize she is trying to fix them up. Brady is not amused. Arianna tries to be upbeat. Mel denies there was any matchmaking going on. They stare at her. She suggests they get started. Ari announces this does not work for her and starts to leave, until Mel brings up the all important fact that there will be no ferry leaving until tonight. They are both miffed. Mel smiles and suggests they work in silence. Shirtless Brady later pours himself a lemonade and asks Mel whatever possessed her to do this. As Ari is not present, Mel confesses she wants to do good. She giggles she will butt out of his love life in the future. Enter Ari, who climbs up on a chair, only to be bumped off by Mel so she falls into Brady's arms! - At DiMera mansion, pretty young mom Nicole steps out of the room to fetch Syd's bottle. Syd is in her playpen, but when Nicole returns, there is no Syd in sight and her stuffed animals are on the floor. The patio doors are open. Nicole yells for Mary, who has not seen her. Nicole panics. Mary calls 911 to report a missing baby. Now Stefano arrives carrying little Sydney. They have been spending some bonding time together and he hopes they can make it a morning ritual. Like hell they will, retorts the nervous mother! She catches herself and then apologizes. The phoenix reminds her she is in his house. "I own you and this child," he finishes. Nicole does not like to feel like property and now understand Sami a little more ...The phoenix is not impressed she has any sympathy for the woman who tried to keep Elvis' child from him. He also disapproves that Nicole does not appear to want Sydney raised as a DiMera and points out that Sydney is HIS blood, not hers. - At Java Cafe, EJ gets Johnny a donut. It will be their secret that he has a donut before breakfast. Little Johnny munches on it and then whispers "Mommy." He smiles he has a secret about his mommy, too and giggles, Johnny style! Elvis takes it all in. - Chez Sami, she wonders why Emily died the day she was supposed to marry Rafe. Enter Rafe, who has jogged over to see her. He recalls she was quiet at dinner the night before and perceives something is wrong. He is then sorry as he assumes it is over Johnny. The pretty young mom admits she is worried EJ might find out Nicole brought him by. Rafe assures her no court would grant the likes of Elvis custody anyway. He walks off to shower and gallantly promises he will make her breakfast. Sami hastily stuffs Emily's card back in his wallet. Enter Will, who catches her in the act and demands to know what she is doing! Caroline had convinced him to come see her. Will calls her on going thru Rafe's wallet and accuses her of lying yet again when she stammers she was looking for a few dollars, which Rafe knew about. He adds she is probably right not to trust Rafe even though he is all she has left. Sami insists she trusts Rafe ... Shirtless Rafe saunters out and greets Will, who grunts and leaves. Sami is exasperated. Rafe asks what happened. He sees his wallet has been tampered with and picks it up. "Sami, what have you done now?" The memorial card is sticking out. Sami explains. She does respect his privacy, but he is keeping something from her that is clearly important to him. That is why she cares about it. Perhaps she does not know him very well after all. - Chez Maggie, Mia hops thru the kitchen and departs for work as Nathan walks in. He tells curious Maggie he had a nice meeting with Alice. And she gave him something - great grandpa Tom's medical bag. She insisted he take it. Maggie is glad, though Nathan appears unsure he can live up to the standard. Being a doctor is complex. The pressure is on for him to be a hero at Salem U Hospital already. They discuss the greatness and humility of Dr. Tom Horton, whom he never met. Maggie feels Nathan did the right thing by taking the name of his mom - Horton. He agrees it is quite a legacy. Maggie advises him to remove the pressure of living up to Tom and carve out his own way. That would make Tom proud. - At Java Cafe, Mia puts on her apron, ready to start her shift. Chad approaches and she tries to give him the brush-off. Mia is dismayed to learn he now works there and just finished his first shift. She sighs. Chad had thought she would be pleased about their working together again. She lectures him for assuming she would be happy to pick up where they left off after he disappeared and she did not hear from him for over a year. Chad says he does not think like that. Perhaps they can at least be friends. Mia is not interested. She explains she has been thru a lot and has changed. She alludes to the fact that he never called and he points out he was at military school. His parents did not allow him to have anything to do with his old life, yet he thought of her every day. Did she think about him? "No, I didn't," lies the teen, touching her belly as she remembers being pregnant. Chad is glad he found her and he knows she really had been thinking of him. She flashes back to their school moments together and asks him not to discuss it now, as she cannot lose this job. Chadman says he will see her tomorrow and walks out as Will enters. Mia tells Will she cannot talk at the moment. He retorts he is not really in the mood to talk. Moments later, Chad comes back for his car keys. He spies Will standing with Mia and wonders if this is the reason she has been blowing him off. Will wants to know who he is. "I'm her boyfriend," announces Chad. Will looks him up and down. - Elvis returns home to DiMera mansion and asks how things are. "Delightful," quips the phoenix. Nicole states Syd was just having some quality time with grandpa. And how is Johnny? Elvis states it was interesting, as he had not realized the secret she shared with the boy concerned his mother Samantha! Nicole acts innocent. Elvis wants answers. Nicole pretends she blurted out something about Sami being impossible and then felt bad about it, so she asked Johnny not to repeat it. "That's it?" probes Elvis. Indeed, says she. Stefano points out it was supposed to be a secret after all, but his eyes are filed with suspicion. Nicole is sorry and apologizes for badmouthing Sami in the little boy's presence. EJ appears to believe her and becomes distracted when pots and pans are heard clanging. He heads off to help Mary with Johnny. Stefano slowly approaches. "Please tell me, Nicole, you would not be foolish enough to lie to my son again now, would you?" He warns her to be aware of where her loyalties should lie. Nicole proceeds to complain about Rafe nosing around and getting close. Stefano assures her he will handle that one! - Chez Maggie, Nathan is about to head for the cabin. Maggie lets him know Mel has invited friends to the cabin so they have been uninvited. He, however, seems to want to smooth things over and make sure she accepted his earlier apology ... - At the cabin, shirtless Brady puts down Ari. They smile knowingly at Mel, who acts innocent. When Mel bends over, Ari pretends to accidentally spill dirty water - on her head! Brady watches and grins. Mel shrieks and goes outside to shower. Brady teases Ari, who laughs she had it coming. They agree she is sweet but annoying, They now decide that they do not have to walk on egg shells, as they know they are not interested in each other. He gently wipes some paint from her face and she thanks him for catching her. Their eyes lock. - Outside in the shower, nekid Mel gasps when Nathan walks up and gets an eyeful! - Back at Sami's place, she accuses Rafe of shutting her out. while he accuses her of not trusting him. She insists she does. Besides, in the custody hearing. they might come after him. Is there a chance that she could lose custody of Johnny because of one of his secrets? What secret, he wonders. Sami points out Emily died young and she does not understand why he cannot talk about her. Rafe now agrees to tell her everything. He admits Emily was the love of his life and she died unexpectedly the day they were to wed. Sami is sorry. She wonders why he never told her before. "Because it hurts," says he. She asks if there is anything else he would like say. He replies there is not, though Sami clearly has her doubts. Nevertheless, she states she is sorry for his loss and will not press. She loves him and does not know what she would do without him ... - Back at DiMera mansion, Nicole is curious how the phoenix intends to take care of Rafe. He declares there are two ways to eliminate an enemy. Either take his life or make it not worth living. One must simply keep one's hands clean. Enter Elvis, who wishes to talk to wifey alone. Once they have their privacy, he tells her he realizes he has not been easy to live with. And he loves her. He also loves how patient she has been with Johnny. He wanted to show her how grateful he is and gives her a box. Her locket with a new chain and picture of both Sydney and Johnny inside. They hug, declare their love again, and share a tender moment, though Elvis looks preoccupied. He announces he feels lucky to have Nicole after Samantha and all her lies ... - Meanwhile, Stefano is on his cell in the hall, finding out exactly what happened with Rafe Hernandez and Emily Hudson! - Back in the living room, Johnny is heard calling out for his daddy so Elvis takes his leave. Nicole promises to wait, but when he is gone from the room, her smile fades. She looks at a picture of Johnny and promptly dials Sami on her cell. "We need to talk about Johnny," she tells her former nemesis. All of a sudden, EJ reappears in the doorway, folds his arms before his chest, and stares at Nicole, who realizes he has overheard ...! Next on Days of Our Lives Brady asks Mel if she has any better suggestions. "How about strip poker?" she grins as Ari looks and Nathan nods. "Why don't you just leave her the hell alone, jerk!" Will yells at Chad. "The only way I can be safe is if I'm not with you." Steph moans to Phil. EJ rages at Nicole. "YOU UNDERSTAND WHY SHE DIDN'T TELL ME ABOUT GRACE UNTIL AFTER SHE WAS DEAD, DO YOU!" Monday, July 6, 2009 THE SALEM PATIENT! On the Kiriakis terrace, Lucas boasts to Kate that the preview focus groups for the show loved Chloe and Daniel together. Ring ring! He takes the call and goes inside. Kate gloats the end is near! She flashes back to her wicked ways of poisoning the apple, encouraging Chloe to eat it, etc. "First Chloe, then Daniel," the black widow seethes. She takes out her edited recording which sounds like Daniel is threatening Chloe to do what he wants or he will make her pay. When it is over, Lucas returns. He asks what Daniel was saying and why she had him recorded. She covers by claiming she records all strategy meetings. After all, she wants the show and his lovely wife to succeed ... - On Chloe's doorstep, replay of her collapsing in Dan's arms. He begs her to hang on and open her eyes! She opens her big eyes and he makes her stay awake. Daniel lifts her in his arms and races for the hospital! Once at the hospital, she is placed in a bed and Dan insists she stay awake. The nurse will test her blood. Dr. Lexie watches. Chloe has severe abdominal pain. They do not yet know the cause. Dan is emotionally involved and Lexie cannot help but notice. Her high fever is dangerously bad. Lexie feels her husband should be there. Dan tells her to have someone call him and returns to Chloe's bedside. "My heart is pounding so fast," says the Salem patient as Dan squeezes her hand and the nurse holds a compress on her head. She moans she is in pain. Dr. Dan explains something is overwhelming her system but they will get thru it. "I'm glad you're here," Chloe whispers. - Back at the Kiriakis terrace, Lucas notices that Kate keeps looking at her watch. They are supposed to go over more advertising. All of a sudden, Lexie calls Lucas and summons him to the hospital. He is on his way! Kate accompanies him, muttering she would not miss this for the world. - Lucas arrives at the hospital with Kate, as Lexie and Maggie await. Lexie tells him she collapsed and promises they will figure out what is wrong. He fears the cancer might have returned. Kate peers through the window and sees Daniel standing at Chloe's bedside. She silently hopes that by the time they figure out what ails Chloe, it will be too late! Dan emerges with the news that the fever is down and Chloe seems better, though they do not know what caused it. Maggie is relieved. Lucas looks concerned. Dan explains the blood work came back negative so he has sent it back to be re-tested. Lucas goes in to see his groggy wife. Kate asks about the blood work. Dan is baffled that it yielded no results as he is convinced she was poisoned! Kate tells Daniel he must have been pretty concerned. Dan gets testy and walks off. Kate thinks he is acting too concerned and that is just purrfect! Inside the Salem patient's room, Lucas asks how she is feeling. Better. She felt like someone had tried to squeeze the life out of her. "Thank God for Daniel," says Lucas. Enter Kate, who teases her for stealing the spotlight. Lucas suspects it was due to overwork and wants her to cut back on her schedule. Kate suggests they wait to see how she feels in the morning. Chloe admits she feels much better now, like a miracle. "That Dr. Dan is a miracle worker, isn't he?" Kate remarks "Thank God he was by your side!" She is sure Daniel will work to get to the bottom of this. Chloe states that they are working together now, so she would rather have another doctor. Kate tries to talk her out of it, but Lucas agrees with his beloved. At the nurse's station, Maggie approaches anxious Dan and wonders if he should be Chloe's doctor. He insists he must and it is his decision! Lexie approaches with the results of the second round of blood work. Dan has a look and sighs in exasperation. "This cannot be possible!" Everything seems normal. Dan wonders how she could have wound up with the symptoms of poisoning after taking a bite of an apple. "Clinically impossible," agrees Lexie. Dan declares he will call in a specialist. Lexie gives him the name of a specialist who is an expert in toxins. Once she is gone, Maggie approaches again. She understands how hard this is for him. Dan now worries that his proximity will cause problems for Chloe from Kate, so perhaps he should remove himself from the case. Maggie too has noticed how Kate has been goading him and cannot make any sense of it. Surely she would never tell Lucas of their affair. Meanwhile, Kate silently vows that next time, Chloe's predicament will be MUCH MUCH worse! - Chez Sami, replay of her finding Emily's death announcement in Rafe's wallet. Out walks Rafe in a towel. Why does she have his wallet? Sami makes a sheepish face and points out she only has two dollars, handing back the wallet. Rafe only has four bucks so he will pick up the Chinese food, as there is an ATM next to it. Sami gasps in agreement. Rafe asks if she would care to join him in the shower. She will be right there. Rafe saunters off to the shower. Sami whips out the card and growls why did she have to find this thing! They are later dressed and happy together after the shower. Rafe commends Sami on not pushing him about the girl from his past. He loves her. She loves him, too. Exit Rafe. Sami studies the card and growls again. - At the pub, Max is back at work. Bo calls. He is on his way over to say goodbye, as Max is taking the redeye to London. Max wants to ask him something, too. Enter Caroline. She wonders what she will do without him.

Bo soon arrives and teases Max about when he will start speaking with a British accent. Maxman becomes serious. - Chez Maggie, Nathan returns from a jog and helps himself to a beverage in the kitchen. Mel is weepy over big bro Max leaving town.

He thinks she should stop being down on herself. Exit Nathan. Mel continues to cry. - At Brady pub, Max and Bo sit at a table. Max nervously asks Bo to give him his blessing for him and Chels to be together. Bo quips he will not as it would not mean anything. They do not need his approval to be together! In the past, he was a tad overprotective, but things are now different. Bo realizes that Max would need only Chelsea's blessing. And if marriage is in the cards, they will either have them back in Salem for a big celebration or head over to London for the big event. Enter Mel, who has overheard and cannot conceal her displeasure. Max takes her aside and sad Mel cries he will no longer care about her if he gets married. He assures her he will always be her brother. She sniffles she knows she is being selfish and just wants him to know she loves him. The siblings hug. He promises he is not abandoning her and notes the new guy and her seem to be getting along. Meanwhile, Bo chats with Nathan and wonders if he has heard about Melanie.
