EJ walks in so Phil makes himself scarce. EJ notes she is only drinking orange juice. Is she alright? She thinks she has a bug but is otherwise fine. He is happy to join her for breakfast. Nicole admits she is tired of the Salem Inn. EJ wishes he could leave the DiMera mansion with Johnny but he cannot, due to legal complications and problems with fatha. He fills Nicole in on the cocktail party. He cannot figure out why Stefano was trying to win over everyone there, except for John. Nicole complains about her lot in life. EJ suggests she leave Salem for a remote tropical paradise. She replies she does not want to, cos she would have no one to share it with. They smile at each other. EJ says there is nothing more in the world he would love than to run away to a deserted island with her if only he could. He hopes they will be able to explore their feelings for each other somehow. He suggests they begin with a date. He would start with an early drink, after that, lobster dinner, then a romantic moonlight stroll on the water. She deserves to be treated like a lady. He would walk her to the door and cap the date with a kiss and promise to call the next day. Nicole starts to cry. She walks away. EJ follows. She thinks he is not ready to move on for real. Sami would need to be out of the picture. EJ reminds her that Johnny has to take precedence until he grows up so Sami will be in that picture. Nicole respects that. She would have no problem sharing him with Johnny, just Sami. They sit back down. EJ wants her to give a little so they have a chance. Nicole will be flexible, if Sami does the same. She smiles. And when is he gonna ask her out? - Outside, Kate coughs. Phil comes up and he is concerned. Kate acts flippant. He calls her assistant Chris and tells him to clear the diva’s schedule for the day.

Abe leaves. When he returns, Roman tells him he just got a call from the mayor, who is on his way to meet them.. Mayor Marino sweeps in. The slick dude claims they have a serious problem there is no easy way to make go away. He glances at Abe. There is an op-ed piece in today’s paper criticizing the dept's tepid response to the hospital situation. This is not the first time he has gotten complaints about the Salem P.D. They did not even contact Homeland Security. What if it had been a terrorist attack? Abe blames the mayor for letting Stefano walk. The mayor replies there is no evidence that the phoenix was involved. He comes down on the Salem P.D. They need to decide who was to blame, seeing as groups and City Hall are breathing down his neck. The mayor seems to want a fall guy! Abe is mad and accuses him of scapegoating. Abe is madder still when the mayor accuses him of doing a half-hearted job. He implies Stefano bribed the good mayor. Roman grins. The mayor is smoothly indignant. He has heard enough. Abe now regrets he ever voted for him. The mayor gives him a final warning.

Phil wants to take care of Kate the way she used to care for him .. . - Dan enters the board meeting, disagrees with head gal Eleanor, and compliments Lexie. Eleanor then asks if Dan feels Theo’s autism has affected her work. Lexie answers, admitting it might have affected her performance. But not her commitment. Dan sticks up for Lexie as someone with a heart and compassion so she is the best doc the hospital could have to lead it. He goes on and on with the compliments. Later, the board deliberates. Do they keep Dr. Carver as chief of staff or let her go? - Meanwhile, Kate is with doting son Phillip and suddenly starts to cough up blood. Phil cries out for help ...!

He praises her for not accepting Stefano's help. She is disappointed EJ was not there for her. He retorts he does not care how erratic she is. Stefano is soon happy to see Tony and Anna, who are suspicious. EJ asks is this all to get them back on his side? The phoenix says yes. Tonight they will see there is someone every bit as ruthless as him. In the grand front hall, John apologizes to Sami. He would have been there had he gotten her messages. Sami marvels that new John is on her side, unlike EJ. John replies she is a good mom. He also feels she is the only one who gets him and warns her to stay away from Stefano. He will be the one to stop the phoenix! They rejoin the rest of the macabre party ... - At the Carver residence, Lexie has received an engraved invitation. Theo is asleep. Abe senses something. She tells Abe about Theo's behavior at the pub. She is sad for him. He points out Harvard has made some breakthroughs in research. Theo's therapy will help. Lexie feels there is too much stress for them to be useful to their son. It is too much to keep up with. Abe tries to comfort her. Lexie is anxious. Abe does not understand why the hospital review board is being hard on her. He hopes it has nothing to do with the lockdown orchestrated by Stefano. Abe feels like tearing the phoenix apart. Lexie replies they have received an invitation to his cocktail party. Abe reads it. "Please dress for cocktails. Prepare to be amazed." Abe is curious and thinks they should go.

None of them will ever forget tonight, the beginning of reuniting a family which was torn apart by someone's criminal actions. The guests grow impatient. Enter Marlena. Stefano purrs her timing is impeccable. She says she received a message from John. Stefano was responsible for the ruse, he explains, as she is the guest of honor and he had to get her there! He offers her champagne. She does not intend to stay. Tony and Anna have had enough. EJ agrees. Stefano insists they remain to see and hear why Marlena and her black heart have been summoned. It is time their families know the truth, what she is capable of. Marlena walks out of the room. John asks her to return. Marlena is dismayed. She did put him in a coma, he is right. John is on her side, as she injected Stefano for taking away her husband so he got what he deserved! Furthermore, he would kill anyone who would hurt her like that again. Marlena sheds a tear as she remembers that John is right. John then tells Blondie she should feel empowered about having taken matters into her own hands. He can see why he was so in love with her in the past. Meanwhile, Stefano rants that Dr. Evans put him in the coma. The guests are doubtful. Marlena returns and admits it is all true. She injected him with the coma-inducing toxin and given the chance to do it again, she just might! Anna is shocked. Sami defends her mother. Stefano accuses his former queen of the night of playing god. Blondie explains she is not proud, yet she knew he had to be stopped before he hurt another! The phoenix calls it torture. Sami says he deserved it and she is proud of her mother. The phoenix understands her defense of her mother. He is more interested in his son's view. However, they have no sympathy for him. Stefano stares. "This is the final insult. I am through with both of you. As of this moment, I put you on notice, Vengeance will be mine!" John retorts that he is hereby putting the phoenix on notice! John then meets alone with his brother. Tony and EJ believe they will have to do something. Sami offers Marlena her full support. Marlena is sorry she was so hard on her at the police station. Sami promises to be less impulsive. At the meeting of John and Stefano, the pawn states he wants him to stay away from Marlena and not breathe a word of what she did. Cigar smoking Stefano insists she will pay. John announces that this means war and walks out! The phoenix laughs and pours himself a brandy as EJ and Tony re-enter. He is putting all his ducks in a row! John heads for Blondie. Exit Sami. John is proud of Marlena. He is ready for the phoenix and will protect her as long as he is alive ...! Tuesday September 16, 2008 FROM HELL! Anna walks by Stefano's room. Classical music and drinks are the order of the day. He would like a word. Anna is uncomfortable. Stefano wishes to show her pictures of Anthony, from boyhood and school. Stefano kept a close watch on him, from a distance. He had high hopes for him. But Anthony has betrayed the family. "For that, he will pay." Exit Anna, after telling Stefano she is nobody's messenger. Empty threats are old. He claims they are not empty. His children have disgraced him. - At the hospital Hope asks Kayla to go with her to the Bluenote, to catch up. Ladies night. Kayla reluctantly agrees to go with her shortly.

The woman tells her the Bensons have a child in the same predicament. She will give Lexie Mrs. Benson's contact details. Still at the pub, angry EJ tells Nicole not to play innocent. He knows she called the cops on Sami. She thinks he is not helping Sami by cleaning up after her mistakes. EJ, however, vows to protect the mother of his child. Nicole says Sami needs to learn from making mistakes. She goes over her breaking the law, etc. EJ admits she is out of control. Nicole leaves the table. EJ goes to sit with Lexie. Dan sidles up to Nicole at the bar and they start drinking together. They talk. Nicole confesses she is in Salem cos of a guy. Not going well. She then holds her stomach and excuses herself for a moment! Meanwhile, EJ joins Theo and stressed Lexie. Theo throws a spoon and takes a tantrum. EJ is sorry and offers to help if there is anything he can do. Lexie asks about Johnny and Sami. EJ tells her the latest on Sami's Horton cabin escapade. If she continues this way, it spells trouble. He is worried. Lexie hopes he will find another woman. Is he still in love with Sami? She tells him she has encouraged Nicole so he would stop chasing after Sami. The lesser of two evils! EJ later plays with Theo. Lexie is impressed. The lad likes his Uncle EJ. EJ heads off to put Johnny to bed. - Nicole returns to Dan, who tells her she should get her upset tummy tested.

Nicole realizes it is Chelsea. They continue drinking and discussing. - At the police station, Sami deals with Roman. She does not appear to understand what she did was wrong.

Roman has a moment with Marlena. He wonders if she was hard on her. Marlena calls Sami spoiled, selfish, a manipulator. They need to make sure she changes so her kids don't learn the behavior.
