and he should find some true love. He gets sarcastic.

happening. She can see in his eyes that it's true. They go inside and he tells

him some slack and leaves. Dimitri comes in and talks strategy with Victor, who

serious could be going on with him. Mel gulps and explains about the feud

decides to track him down and runs out the door. "D'oh!" Mel grumbles. Maggie

him that he could lose his job. After she pretends to leave, she eavesdrops on

mobilized. Stefano says Victor will find out what it means to cross a DiMera.

deserves to know what's happening and asks if he can count on him. Stefano wants
to send him out to interview a snitch. "What the hell," Chad says with a shrug.
He plods off and Stefano orders Marco to make sure both of his sons stay away
from what's happening. Chad eavesdrops again. He rushes off to look for his
brother. He runs into Sonny at the pub. He's already guessed that something is
going on between their families and demands to know what. They mutter about
what's been going on and decide to investigate it together.

cash, Maggie runs at him screaming and a shot rings out, hitting her.

and Gus go to the graveyard to visit Lawrence. Gus is queasy and Viv coos about
Quinn to the gravestone. He gets annoyed as she keeps going on about her son.
She doesn't appreciate his surly attitude and worries about her son's new woman.
After she storms off, he starts pondering Kate's offer. They meet up again later
and she finds him drinking on the street. This doesn't impress her. "What are
you doing here? I thought you needed some son loving?" he snipes before
slouching away. She returns to the cemetery. Quinn joins her and she tells him
how much it means to her that he's in her life now. He gets defensive when she
asks about the woman in his bed and then explains that he may have made a new
enemy today: Kate. "Excuuuuse me?" Viv asks. She's furious he's mixed up with
her arch enemy. 
Kinsey
is arguing with Tad on the phone. He's jealous that she might be going out with
Sonny. She tells him that's stupid and they aren't hooking up again because he
was lousy in the sack. She walks into the Cheatin' Heart and sees Chloe. She
thinks of spotting her with her john and is grossed out. Kinsey confronts her.
Chloe makes a lame excuse and then confesses. Her friend promises not to tell
anyone and offers to drive her to her gig. After the show, they return to the
Cheatin' Heart to celebrate the diva's success. Kate strolls over and starts
taunting her, telling her about video chatting with Parker and how he'll never
have to learn to say 'mama'. Kinsey blows up at her but Kate's unimpressed. She
walks off. Chloe tells her friend that was sweet. The diva worries that her
ex-mother-in-law will find out she's been turning tricks. When she walks off to
get drinks, her phone rings. Kinsey answers. It's a john looking to book her.
Kinsey takes his information. Outside, Kate curses until she bumps into a
drunken Gus. 
Victor
heads back to the mansion when Maggie calls to say he left his cuff links
behind. "I guess that means I have to come back," he says. When he goes inside,
he asks Brady why EJ was there. Brady fills him in. Victor's determined to end
all of this fighting once and for all. Meanwhile, EJ is taking a drink at Casa
DiMera and recalling giving Brady back his gun. His father strolls in and asks
if he remembers who attacked him. Elvis says things aren't very clear. Stefano
assumes he's protecting someone. He asks his son to trust him to handle this. EJ

before there's bloodshed. Stefano growls and bites his lip. They arrange to meet
later. Stefano calls his goon in and tells him to get ready.

goes into the pub leaving messages for Brady. Taylor comes in leaving message
for EJ. They both hope it's not too late. Nicole urges her sister to end all of

she leaves, Brady shows up and tells Nicole the latest. He drinks some hot water
and tells her to stay out of things. She still wants to help.
Taylor
runs into EJ on the pier. He informs her that he's decided to avert a war. She's
impressed that he made the right call. They get gooey and she molests his
stubble. He steps away and talks about how he's already lost his chance at a
future with her. Elvis thinks she deserves a much better man than him. He kisses
her head and walks away. She weeps and remembers the good times. Brady shows up.

been resolved.

want. Adrienne doesn't know what to say. Maggie talks about how great her
boyfriend has been with Sonny. He makes her feel young again. Adrienne gives her
a hug. She heads over to the Cheatin' Heart to gossip with Justin until Sonny
shows up. He explains that he's staying for the summer and just had a job
interview. After he wanders off, he gets a call telling him he got the job. He
goes back inside and tells his parents he's going to be an assistant in the DA's
office. "Are you out of your mind?" Justin asks. His son explains that he's
doing this for everyone's sake. Back at Maggie's, she tells Mickey's picture
that he'll always be in his heart. She heads over to pick Victor up for dinner.
He says he has to cancel.
At
the station, Bo, Hope and Rafe discuss Carly's disappearance. Roman shows up and
orders them to deal with something more important like the attack on a
prostitute. The couple head out and Roman hands Rafe a stack of pending cases.
Rafe's not happy because they're all petty offences and assumes Roman is trying
to keep him from getting into trouble. His boss doesn't disagree. Meanwhile, Bo
and Hope arrive at the hospital. He lets her talk to the prostitute alone while
he goes to the crime scene. Hope questions Charity, who explains that she was
attacked from behind. The cop vows to find the person who did this. She meets up
with Bo and they head back to the station to tell Roman they didn't find
anything. Roman tells them the case is dead because they don't have the manpower
to investigate. He orders them to drop this. Hope returns to the hospital to
investigate instead. Bo is already there doing the same thing. Rafe strolls in
and says he wants to help.
Brady
finds Taylor crying on the pier. She explains that she's happy because EJ
promised to drop his vendetta. "Yip-pi-i-a," Brady says. He finds a polite way
to say she's really stupid for an educated person. She tells him he's free now
and he should find some true love. He gets sarcastic. 
At
the mansion, Maggie is hurt when Victor tells her he can't go on their date. He
won't explain. Sonny shows up to see him but Victor says this isn't a good time.
After he leaves, Maggie tells him he can't blow her off. Victor explains that
there are parts of his business he can't discuss. She's stilled miffed. He
kisses her and she worries he's in danger. Maggie is crazy about him so she cuts
him some slack and leaves. Dimitri comes in and talks strategy with Victor, who
is sure they can buy Stefano off. Sonny returns and informs him that he got a
job with the DA. Victor basically shrugs and then announces he's going off to
fix something.
Maggie
goes home and Mel shows up to gab about Victor. Maggie worries that something
serious could be going on with him. Mel gulps and explains about the feud
between Brady and EJ. Stuttering, Mel tries to figure out how this could all
turn out okay. Maggie thinks this is the end for her and the moustache. She
decides to track him down and runs out the door. "D'oh!" Mel grumbles. Maggie
heads to the mansion looking for her boyfriend. Dmitri isn't helpful. She warns
him that he could lose his job. After she pretends to leave, she eavesdrops on
his call and hears where the meeting will be.

and Marco are at Casa DiMera discussing strategy. All of the goons are
mobilized. Stefano says Victor will find out what it means to cross a DiMera.
Chad stands at the door and eavesdrops. He barges in. His father says he
deserves to know what's happening and asks if he can count on him. Stefano wants
to send him out to interview a snitch. "What the hell," Chad says with a shrug.
He plods off and Stefano orders Marco to make sure both of his sons stay away
from what's happening. Chad eavesdrops again. He rushes off to look for his
brother. He runs into Sonny at the pub. He's already guessed that something is
going on between their families and demands to know what. They mutter about
what's been going on and decide to investigate it together.
Marco
and Stefano arrive at the pier. He sends his goon up the steps of doom.
Meanwhile, Victor is in an alley shoving cash in a Hallmark card. The two men
meet and Stefano points out that this is where Brady tried to kill Elvis and
where Tony died. They start arguing. When Victor reaches into his coat for the
cash, Maggie runs at him screaming and a shot rings out, hitting her.

is cleaning up toys at the loft and talking to Nigel, the laughing penguin. Rafe
returns and they recount the epic story of his purchasing the penguin. She tells
him that the kids are all out so they start sucking face. As she unbuttons his
shirt, he's distracted by thoughts of trains and starts fixing Johnny's toys.
Sami helps him, although that's not a good thing. Eventually, he fixes the toy
train and they drink beer. They have sex and then eat popcorn and then have sex
again.
