Sami shows up at Nicole’s door, looking for Allie. Nicole says she’s not there and tries to slam the door in her face. Sami blocks it while sniping at her over sleeping with EJ. Nicole eventually yanks her into the apartment. She lays out how Sami broke up her marriage all on her own. Sami grows emotional, but then tries to slap Nicole again. The women tussle, as Allie enters wondering what’s going on. The women separate and Nicole leaves them alone.

When Allie acts protective over Nicole, Sami tells Allie she found her in bed with EJ. Allie interrupts her rant to suggest she lay off Nicole and talk about all the things EJ has done wrong. She thinks Sami and EJ’s “love for the ages” is more like life in prison without parole. Allie suggests there could still be something between her and Lucas though. “He was your first great love. And maybe he’s your last.” Sami says Lucas is a wonderful guy and she does love him… but trails off. She hugs Allie and thanks her for the advice before leaving.

Lucas runs into Rafe in the Square. He gets an update on Philip and then asks why the commish hasn’t arrested Brady yet. Rafe tells him they need a stronger case, so he just needs to be patient. Rafe then asks about Sami. Lucas snipes about her making a fool of herself over EJ, especially since she caught him in bed with Nicole. Rafe flinches. Lucas hopes Sami opens her eyes, because he wants her back.

Nicole walks by, wondering what Lucas and Rafe are talking about. Lucas says they were talking about Philip and leaves. Nicole sits down. She knows the men were talking about her and rants about everyone knowing about her sex life. She also brings up her altercation with Sami. Rafe is sorry she’s unhappy and thinks part of it is his fault. She calls that egotistical, but he says “What happened between us…” She says it’s over. He fires back, “Is it?” and pulls her in for a passionate kiss.

Lucas stops by Allie’s place. She tells her father there might be hope for him and Sami. She thinks Sami is realizing things are over with EJ and that she should be with him. Lucas smiles.

When he insists that love is no longer for Sami, she accuses her son of being a spoiled brat. She tells EJ to examine his conscience and ask himself if he still loves Sami. If he does there could still be hope. He snarks, “For a happy ending?” She retorts, “For your immortal soul.” Exasperated, she waves her hand and spits, “Oh, get yourself together Elvis,” before walking out.

Alone, EJ pulls out his wedding band, as Sami walks into the DiMera living room. They lock eyes.
