    You're Absolved.

    Thursday, January 06 2011
    Vivian and Gus are forced to jump off a plane, Johnny turns up at SPD, and Nathan learns the truth.


    Melanie has finished cleaning Maggie’s house, in order to keep her mind off her troubles. Maggie reminds her she once admitted she may have married the wrong man but Melanie says that it’s too late for her and Nathan now.


    Nathan goes to Stephanie and tells her the truth is all over the hospital about Parker not being Daniel’s baby and Caroline switching the paternity results. He assures Steph the stroke wasn’t caused from stress and wonders why Caroline went through the trouble at all. Steph plays innocent and Nathan leaves. Kayla returns and Steph worries about her future with Nathan.


    At SPD, a cop brings Rafe DiMera files and tells him to get the rest. He wants to find something to make a case on the DiMera family.



    Stefano laughs at Nicole for allowing EJ to track her whereabouts but Nicole doesn’t care as long as she can be in the children’s lives. Johnny sneaks out of the house as Nicole and Stefano are bashing each other’s choices in marriage. Later, Mary interrupts, saying Johnny’s missing. Stefano calls EJ.


    At the loft, Sami realizes the jig is up. EJ didn’t buy her lies and says Sydney’s happy to be reunited with the mother she knew from birth. EJ says he’ll be grateful to have a mother who doesn’t put the man she’s chasing in front of her children. They bicker and Sami threatens to kill EJ if Nicole makes her kids miserable.


    Vivian comes between Philip and Brady during a fist fight at the mansion, over Philip’s affair with Chloe. Philip blames Vivian for Chloe cheating on Daniel and tells Brady the story about what Viv did to Chloe to get to Carly but Vivian denies it. Brady leaves and Philip yells that Vivi ruined his life. She tells him he's absolved but he doesn't care and storms off and she takes a call. When Gus turns up, she says they’re off to Bermuda for a business meeting. She calls to have the jet fueled.


    Johnny shows up at SPD after a cop picks him up. He tells Rafe he wants to see his mommy.

    Kate meets with Brady at the pub. She learns that Philip and Brady were fighting over her new grandchild. They discuss their plan to get rid of Vivian and Brady’s sure Victor will be on board with their plan. He fills her in on how Vivian’s partially to blame for Chloe cheating on Daniel with Philip and says he doctored the on flight coffee as part of their plan.


    Philip shows up on Maggie’s doorstep to see his wife but Maggie’s angry with him. Melanie pokes her head in and Maggie yells at Philip before heading to the hospital. Once she’s gone, Mel advises Philip to stay away from his son or he’ll just wind up hurting him like he does everyone else. Philip says he has never loved anyone as much as her and then leaves the house.


    EJ takes a call from Stefano, who tells him Johnny’s missing. EJ lies about the nature of the call to Sami, who receives a text from Rafe, telling her Johnny’s at SPD. She tells EJ nothing but they leave together.


    Gus and Vivian are on the plane. She refuses the coffee so he drinks it. There’s lots of turbulence and Gus rushes to the bathroom, feeling unwell. Vivian clutches her stomach and feels as though there’s something very wrong.



    EJ arrives at home where Stefano tells him that Johnny left. He didn’t tell Samantha because he knows she’ll never let him live it down. When Nicole walks in, EJ yells at her and threatens her for letting this happen. She heads to the booze. Somebody from the police station on Stefano’s payroll calls EJ to tell him that Johnny’s at SPD with Rafe. Nicole and EJ rush off.



    Rafe unpacks Johnny’s rucksack and finds a banana, socks, and an action figure. Johnny tells Rafe he doesn’t want Nicole to be his mommy. Sami arrives and tells him she’s his only mommy. He promises not to leave like this again and Sami whispers to Commander Hernandez that they should turn the tables on EJ and run off with Johnny. Rafe says they can’t. Sami tells her son it’s best to be with his daddy right now. They hug and EJ and Nicole show up. EJ’s mad that they took their time telling them that he was found. Nicole leaves with Johnny and EJ thinks Sami orchestrated this. Sami denies it. She tells him he can’t stop Johnny from loving her but EJ thinks she’ll do that all by herself.



    Brady and Kate arrive home and receive a call from the pilot who tells Brady that Ms. Alamain hasn’t had anything to drink yet. Brady rather likes the idea of her wondering what’s to come. On the flight, the navigator tells Vivian the flight plan was changed and he hands the phone over to her where Brady tells her he is the one who changed it. They’re taking back Titan! Vivian’s fuming so the navigator says if Vivi doesn’t like it, she can jump! Later, she’s suited up and she and Gus are thrown from the plane with parachutes.



    Caroline and Steph head into Caroline’s room and Kayla tells her daughter she should be more worried about her grandmother, not her relationship. They argue about Stephanie’s plans to keep the truth from Nathan and Steph won’t forgive Kayla if Nathan goes back to Mel. Caroline wakes up and tells Kayla to leave everyone alone. Her machines start beeping as she goes into distress and Nathan stabilizes her. She tells him to send in a priest. Later, Stephanie tells Nathan Caroline’s reason to keep the truth from Daniel. She didn’t want another Kiriakis to ruin another life. Nathan’s confused and Steph realizes he didn’t know that Philip’s the father. Maggie arrives and congratulates the pair on getting married tomorrow. When she’s gone, Nathan admits he just heard the truth about Philip. Nathan’s angry and thinks Mel’s better off without 'the jackass'. Philip turns up later for a board meeting and confronts Stephanie.



    Nathan arrives on Melanie’s doorstep.

    EJ is so hell bent on taking the kids from Sami he doesn't see what's right in front of him.

    He blames Sami immediately without even questioning little Johnny. Poor little Johnny. I hope EJ lets Sami see Johnny & Sydney now that those kids are beginning to have issues. What am I thinking? It's EJ we're talking about - the bastard of Salem!!!!

    Oh, now do I sense a reconciliation of Nathan & Melanie? I sure hope so....

    Hey everyone

    I have to admit i was wondering why Sami and Rafe didn't just grab Johnny and Sydney and run like EJ was always planning on doing. It would have been stupid but i thought that they might have taken a cue from EJ and given it a try.

    Johnny is so sweet it's a pity none of the adults around him ever listen to anything he has to say.

    I don't see how Nicole would make a great mommy she's always drinking! I remember Sami was mad at her when Nicole married Lucas so he could get custody of Will after he framed her for Franco Kelly's murder because Nicole was always drinking instead of watching Will and lost him too. Writers stop repeating stories!

    I think the reason Johnny didn't freak out about Sami marrying Rafe was because Sami wasn't always telling him that Rafe was going to be his new daddy and his real daddy didn't love him anymore or want him anymore the way EJ is always telling Johnny those things about Sami, so Johnny felt comfortable to love Rafe whereas with Nicole he knows his daddy is trying to replace his mommy and he doesn't want a new mommy he wants the one he already has

    I think Melanie and Philip are going to reconcile. I think Philip might actually love Melanie, and if Stephanie can keep her secret for long enough to keep a hold on Nathan for a bit longer then i think that Melanie and Phillip might get back together, at least for a while, i still think Melanie and Nathan will end up together eventually

    Not saying Maggie shouldn't be mad at Philip for cheating on Melanie who she loves like her own daughter, but she's got really unforgiving of late. I don't want them to make Maggie a pushover but ever since the sarcophagus she has kind of lost her sweet sparkle, i really want to see her forgive Victor and explore a relationship with him and Melanie is old enough to deal with her own problems, support her yes, but she helped create the mess she's currently in

    *****SPOILER***** i read that when Taylor (nicole's sister) comes back she will be involved with EJ (which sounds great) but then Rafe is in a car accident and ends up with amnesia and drifts away from Sami somehow, then for some reason Taylor and Rafe kind of get involved and that makes Nicole jealous and there is a Taylor/Nicole/Rafe triangle which leaves Sami and EJ alone and mystified and that this might cause them to reconnect. Not sure how true all of this is but I kind of like the sound of that as it sounds a bit fresh and takes the focus off the poor kids

    aussie-gal - i'm hoping for good weather for sunbaking and swimming but no tennis for me, i think i'm the only person in melbourne who doesn't like sports! All my friends and family are constantly hounding me about not liking any sports!

    Anyways everyone had a super day!

    I hope the SPOILER true

    @little bear - **********Spoiler Talk********** I HAD to read your spoiler after seeing sara74's comment, and all I can say is WOW!!!!! I would LOVE to see that s/l materialize!!!! That would be a FANTASTIC twist, and I think Rafe is much better suited to either of those other two than he is to Sami. I've always loved his chemistry with Nicole (their banter totally cracks me up & keeps me glued to the screen), and I can already imagine the sparks flying between him & the new actress coming to play Taylor. Ohhhh, how I hope this is one spoiler that comes true!!! Thanks for giving me some hope for an END in sight to all the insanity surrounding these characters!!!

    Sick Sick Sick of the children line. Baby changing has happened so many times it isn't interesting anymore. Like Sami and EJ together. Get over it and get this show back on line. Nathan/Melanie/Phillip/Steph: Can't stand Stephanie, Phillip and Melanie are fine, but I really really do not care. Love Maggie and Victor -- Sick of Vivian and Nicole always winning everything they do. What happen to this show that the good guys never win. have watched it since the beginning and getting to the point I fast forward through most of the show.

    25yrsofdays re littlebears 'spoiler talk' - IA, it would be refreshing change.

    I couldn't help notice how fast Nathan went to comfort Melanie. Stephanie may have to rethink her wedding plans.

    The whole Sami vs EJ for the kids is wearing thin.

    Viv + Gus were a hoot,especially when Vivian was being forced to jump from the plane.

    EJ's heart has been broken by Sami maybe I would love to see EJ fall in love with someone who will love him in return. Then Sami can eat her heart out! sorry but now I can't stand Sami UGH and Rafe God! he's popping everywhere, I don't get it really. sorry Rafe fans


    Posted by The Engineer Mom at Thursday, January 06 2011 01:46 PM

    OMG OMG OMG....I am PRAYING for that s/l to be true...hehehehe. That would just tickle me pink! I have to say, although I don't like SAFE, his acting has gotten better and I even see some chemistry there now, and I love how he is keeping it real with her about what a hot mess she is and how she always screws things up...hahahahaha!

    But I am also always hoping for EJAMILY end game. Mostly because I like there chemistry and not really anything to do with who they are or what they have done to each other.

    Have a wonderful day ladies!

    Posted by aussie-gal at Thursday, January 06 2011 02:59 PM

    littlebear, I'm not sure I like that spoiler if it's true. Taylor & Rafe? No thanks....

    PS: the only sport I like is tennis. I can't stand AFL.
