SoapOperaFan.com . . . Days of Our Lives Tuesday's Summary

Philip and Stephanie are eagerly pulling each other's clothes off. "I love being with you," she confesses. He's loving it too, but he stops anyway and tells her that they can't do this. That's hardly flattering her ego, so he explains that he can't do it because he cares about her too much. He brings up his past and his sordid reputation with women. She doesn't care about any of that because, when she is with him, she only lives in the moment. That sounds like something he wants to try so they start to make out again. He tells her that he wants to take her for a real date... one without Melanie.

At headquarters, Bo has a pounding headache and begins to see something that is happening across town. Over at the DiMera mansion, Theo falls down the stairs and out of consciousness. As Lexi runs to him and begs him to open his eyes, Bo calls an ambulance. Almost simultaneously, Stefano tries calling for one. He's startled to find that an ambulance is already on the way. While Lexi cries, her father tries to comfort her. The ambulance arrives and Bo and Hope quickly pop up. As Stefano tells them what happened, Bo stares off before telling Hope that this all reminds him of what happened to Zach.

At the clinic, Dr. Baker tells Nicole once again that the young mother changed her mind. Nicole is sure that if she could talk to her, 'mother to mother', she could work all of this out. When the doctor reminds her that she's not a mother, she becomes outraged. "I gave birth to a baby girl and will love her forever!" she shouts before grabbing the woman's file and reminding Baker of who calls the shots.

Daniel goes to visit Kate with a copy of "Sleepless in Seattle." She thinks that's sweet but isn't in the mood to watch a movie. "I've got something to tell you. I've decided to take my life in a new direction," she explains. That means that their relationship is over. He's shocked so she explains more. She feels like she is living on borrowed time and needs to tend to herself and her children. He will always have a place in her heart, she promises, adding that they can still be friends. He gets a call and runs. "It's an emergency!" he says. After he's gone, Stephanie and Philip come down. Steph quickly makes herself scarce. Surprisingly, Kate tells her son that she's always thought that Stephanie could be the perfect girl for him. She tells him to invite her to the engagement party she's throwing for Lucas and Chloe. Steph returns and Kate tells her that she wants her spending more time with her son. Stephanie smiles.

Nicole tracks down Mia, the expecting mother, at her dumpy place. When she introduces herself, the young woman is confused. "I'm the woman who's going to adopt your baby," Nicole explains. Mia has already changed her mind, but Nicole is not accepting it. After some prodding, she gets Mia to open up. Mia admits that she has all sorts of problems, like money and cockroaches, but she still can't shake the guilt she would feel about giving up a baby. As the two women talk, Nicole promises her that she will be happy one day. Mia notices her engagement ring. When she realizes that Nicole is still living out of wedlock, she panics and runs. Infuriated and desperate, Nicole chases her down and tells her that she is in a very committed relationship. Mia wonders why she is in such a rush to get a child. "I'll tell you why," Nicole begins. She tells her about not being able to get pregnant, then miraculously becoming pregnant and then losing her miracle baby. She promises to take good care of both the baby and Mia. After listening to the story, Mia gives in. "You remind me so much of me. I feel a real connection. I will be the kind of mother you want for this baby!" Nicole says in relief. It's short lived. "I want to meet the father," Mia adds.

At the hospital, Lexi continues to blame herself for what's happened and Tony arrives to try and comfort her. "I have to choose between being a good mother or a good daughter… if Theo pulls through I know what I have to do. I'll be the best daughter ever," Lexi decides. Meanwhile, the EMT is asking Bo how he knew what was going on. He can't explain. Hope asks him. He can't explain. Stefano asks him. He can't explain. Daniel arrives and Theo is wheeled off for a CT scan. Hope walks over to Lexi to lend her comfort. They've both been through this before and Hope promises to help her through it. Soon, Daniel returns with test results. Theo has a subdural hematoma and needs to be operated on immediately. Stefano wants to bring in specialists but Daniel warns that there is no time.
