At
Casa DiMera, RoboRafe freaks out and throws Sami down the stairs as she
pretends to be Fay. Bo drags the impostor down the stairs. He blabbers
through a confession. Hope wakes up Sami. RoboRafe keeps hallucinating Fay.
As he swears at her, Taylor arrives and hears everything. She lunges at
RoboRafe. The cops hold her back and she demands some answers. Taylor barks
at Sami to take off her mom's cameo. She guesses that her mom was murdered.
Hope assures her that they will get to the bottom of things.
Sami
takes Taylor to the loft and offers her some coffee. They argue about what
happened. Taylor wants to call Nicole but Sami forbids it. Meanwhile, Bo and
Hope take RoboRafe back to the warehouse to question him on video. He gets
rude as they demand answers. They offer to help him if he flips on the
DiMeras. When they say that he'll be facing the death penalty while the
DiMeras laugh at him, he finally tells them he had to kill Fay because she
knew too much. After he tells them everything, he kicks the camera across
the room and chuckles. Bo discovers the video is still good.
Rafe
corners Kate outside of Casa DiMera and tries to convince her not to go in.
He starts flirting with her, claiming he's bored with 'domesticity'. "Sami
says you used to be quite the player," he says. Kate doesn't buy his
routine. Quinn calls her. Before she leaves to meet him, she tells Rafe to
go bowling if he's bored. She meets Quinn on the pier and he starts sniping
at her. "If we let hookers raise kids, who knows how they'll end up?" he
says. She doesn't need to take his crap. He tells her that's tough and walks
off. Chad wanders by. Since it's one AM, she guesses he must be on a special
assignment from his father. He's already having second thoughts. His
attitude reminds her of his mom and what she did when she was hooking. That
doesn't exactly make Chadsworth keen on his new career.
Quinn
calls Chloe to see if she finished her date. He asks to speak to her john
but she claims he's sleeping and hangs up. The john wakes up. He can't
remember anything. She plays along and tries to sneak off. He wants to make
more memories and sticks his tongue in her ear. She pushes him off and says
his time is up. When she goes downstairs, she runs into Justin. He offers to
do the Parker paperwork with her there and then. He says that it should all
be clear sailing from here on. As she gives him a hug, her john shows up and
starts talking about how much many pennies Chloe is worth. The lawyer sends
him away. Meanwhile, Kate shows up in the room upstairs looking for
evidence.
Nicole
drops by the pub and lays out some cash for whatever they've got the most
of. As she gets plastered, insomniac Maggie shows up. Nicole invites her to
share her troubles and says Victor isn't worth losing sleep over. They start
discussing children. The topic turns to how EJ uses Syd to hurt people.
Nicole gets upset and leaves. She heads to Sami's and finds her sister
there.
Gus
meets with Viv in the park to tell her he hasn't found anything worrisome
about Quinn. He suspects that he has plenty of illegal side projects though.
Gus lists Quinn's various businesses. The man in question arrives and snarls
at Augustine until he leaves. Viv asks her son if he is there for revenge.
"I am here because of you," he admits. He gets snide and points out that
most people hate her. Quinn doesn't care about that kind of thing and
accuses her of not caring about him. His mother still doesn't trust him and
is sure he's there to ruin her. She wonders what his agenda is. "Maybe I
just want my mommy to love me?" he suggests. Coolly, they exchange cryptic
threats and compliments until they decide to get a cocktail. Kate comes out
of the bushes and wonders what that could have been about.
At
the clinic, Mel's family worry about what EJ might remember when he wakes up.
She apologizes for ruining her dad's date with Jenn. Bloody Elvis groans. Daniel
sends the ladies out and then tells EJ that he was badly beaten. Once EJ claims
he can't remember anything, Daniel leaves to tell the ladies and offers to keep
them all out of this. As he and Jenn suck face, Carly has to close her eyes.
Later, Jenn and Carly wipe up the room to remove all traces they were there. The
doctor asks her about Daniel and starts babbling about his past. This makes Jenn
uncomfortable. Carly admits she's conflicted about them. She backs off and Jenn
convinces her to go home and rest. Jenn takes Carly home and refuses to leave
her alone. She puts Carly to bed and starts cleaning her room, eventually
noticing that the desk is covered in white powder.
At
the mansion, Brady goes downstairs and finds Victor sitting in the dark waiting
for him. He bluntly asks who he beat up. "I ran into a door," Brady says. When
he tries to pour a drink, Victor smashes the glass and demands answers. Brady
tells him to eat more blueberries and reminds him that he's the boss now. His
grandfather guesses this was no ordinary fight. He offers to help him but Brady
refuses. Mel shows up and offers to tell him everything. She explains that Brady
has a drinking problem and fought some dudes at the pier. Victor accepts this
and goes to bed. She tells Brady he may have caught a break.
Nicole
is surprised to run into her sister at the Safe loft. After snickering at
Taylor, she wants to go. Her sister takes her down to the pier. "Oh my God! Did
EJ get you pregnant?" Nicole asks with a cringe. They bicker about EJ until
Taylor explains their mom was murdered... by Rafe. She explains what she walked
in on at Casa DiMera. Nicole is shocked. Taylor wants to commiserate with her
but her sister refuses. The hospital calls Nicole to say EJ was admitted.
At
the warehouse, RoboRafe continues to be woozy. Rafe arrives and Bo and Hope show
him all the evidence they collected. Smiles all around. When Rafe watches the
video, he gasps. The last few minutes have been erased and that ruins all proof
against the DiMeras. Rafe starts pounding on his double. He comes to and guesses
the evidence is gone. The double demands a lawyer. Lexi calls to say her brother
was beaten up. Bo promises to look into it. He eagerly tells Hope and Rafe that
EJ is vulnerable so they have a lucrative opportunity.
Bo
and Rafe show up at the hospital to question EJ. Lexi drags them out and refuses
to allow it. She leaves to take a call. Sami calls Rafe to say Taylor ran away.
"We're screwed!" Bo moans. He sends Rafe away to find her. He manages to corner
her just as Taylor gets a call from Lexi. Meanwhile, Nicole shows up and Daniel
tells her EJ doesn't remember much. She goes in to see him and grabs a fluffy
pillow. He wakes up as it rubs his nose. Nicole shoves it behind his head. "The
nurse told me you got mugged. Too bad they didn't finish the job. I know what
you did," she says.
Hope
shoves RoboRafe in the warehouse closet and calls Bo. He tells her that Lexi
kicked him out of her brother's room. Getting off the phone, he goes to see
Maxine about EJ. Meanwhile, at Casa DiMera, Stefano orders some breakfast and
notices his scotch decanter has been damaged. Mary starts to explain when Lexi
calls to say EJ is in the hospital. He runs off to the hospital and into Bo. The
commissioner tells him he's there to get to the bottom of the beating. "The last
time you solved a crime, Bill Clinton was in office," Stefano says.
Carly
notices that Jennifer is sniffing around her desk. Jenn claims she's just
looking for her keys so Carly gets up to help. When Jenn stares at the powder,
Daniel calls. Jenn covers and agrees to meet him later, then she quizzes her
friend. Carly claims she was just crushing aspirin and gives an anti-drug
speech. She decides it's time to go to work. When they get to the hospital, they
see Daniel chatting with Stefano. He walks over to them and Carly relieves him.
Daniel jogs off with Jenn.
Nicole
is in EJ's hospital room confronting him about what he did. "I want a divorce
today," she says. He laughs so hard it hurts. She tells him he won't be jumping
back in her sister's bed. Nicole reminds him that she has kept his secrets and
made sacrifices. Now she only wants her freedom and to see him suffer. He gets
pithy. There's more bickering. She repeats that she knows all about what he did.
Bo walks in on them and gives Nicole the boot. EJ thanks him. Bo takes out his
camera and gets smug. Carly interrupts to give EJ his meds. Once she's gone, Bo
tells Junior what he's got on him. When he tries showing him the tape, EJ passes
out. Meanwhile, Nicole corners Stefano in the hall about what he did to her
mother.
Julie
meets Maggie at the pub to decorate for Will's graduation party. They start
chatting about Victor and Maggie pretends she doesn't miss him. Maggie can't be
with a gangster anyway. She's decided to walk away from him. It's a relief to
her that he gave her a way out. Julie doesn't buy it. The redhead admits she
feels guilty about being with anyone. She contemplates getting a dog so Julie
gives her a pep talk. Maggie just feels sad. She says the only reason Victor was
interested in her was because he knew they couldn't be together.
At
the hospital, Nicole confronts Stefano for what he did to her mother. Lexi
runs by to her brother's bedside as he beeps. She chases Bo out. Kate and
Chad arrive and Stefano rails at Bo. EJ is wheeled by and Lexi explains that
he just passed out. Taylor arrives as he's taken away. Bo asks where Hope
is. She calls and asks to meet him at the bar. Lexi explains that EJ is
bleeding internally so they have to operate on him. Stefano assumes someone
tried to beat his son to death. Chad assumes it must have been Rafe. His
father advises him to keep quiet about this. Across the room, Nicole tells
her sister she hopes EJ kicks the bucket. Taylor guesses she knows
something. Nicole won't explain yet. Stefano starts telling Maxine to clear
the area. She refuses to run errands for him or Kate. He threatens her but
that doesn't scare her. She orders him to go to the waiting room. 
Later,
Lexi tells her family that the surgery went fine. Stefano is thrilled and
gives a big family pep talk. Everyone hugs. Kate and Stefano are left alone.
He talks about how great Chad is and how she makes him feel young again.
They talk about EJ wanting to strike out on his own. She's sure he'll get
sick of that. He goes to see Elvis and vows to find out who did this. EJ
wakes up as Taylor sticks her head in the room. Elvis asks to spend time
alone with her. Stefano grunts and leaves. EJ senses something is wrong with
Taylor. She tells him Rafe killed Fay. He starts stuttering. Meanwhile, Kate
decides to get Abby out of Chad's life after seeing how important he is to
Stefano.
Nicole
goes to the park to talk to herself. She guesses her mom must have wanted to
tell her that EJ turned Rafe into a killing machine. The ghost of Fay
appears and asks her if she'll let Elvis get away with what he did. Nicole
blames herself for what happened but the ghost tells her she's not to blame.
"Get your sister away from that man," Fay orders.
Gabi
and Will are at the pub taking pictures in their grad costumes. T. and
Kinsey arrive. Dario calls his sister to say their mom can't make it because
she broke her leg hanging curtains. Will's not even sure his mom remembers
this is graduation day. Caroline comes in to reassure him. The kids run off.
Meanwhile, Abby bumps into Sonny on the pier. They hug. Will and Gabi spot
them and wonder who he is. Abby calls them over but Gabi has to make a call.
Abby introduces the men and explains that Sonny's her cousin. After Will
vanishes, Sonny asks his cousin about Chad. She says he's important to her
and babbles about how great he is...even if he is a DiMera. He's shocked so
she reminds him that he's a Kiriakis. She goes to work and bumps into Chad,
who tells her about what happened to his brother. Being at the hospital
reminds him of when his mother died. He talks about how great Stefano has
been.
Bo
goes to the Cheatin' Heart to see Hope. They gossip about Taylor and EJ.
He's worried that Stefano might figure out that Rafe isn't dead. After the
cops run off, Justin and Adrienne make out until their son interrupts. They
start talking about the family. He's eager to see Victor but his parents say
it's not a good time. "You haven't told him about me, right?" Sonny asks.
Back
at the pub, Kinsey whines about her family until Gabi snaps at her. Kinsey
starts teasing her for not getting any from Will. Gabi says that's private.
"Privacy is so last century," Kinsey quips. Will shows up. Gabi prods him
for a kiss but he can't do that in public. She plants one on him. His eyes
try to crawl out of his head. He backs off and she asks him up to her room.
Stuttering, he says that he has to go and get his suit from the dry
cleaners... plus he has to check on his mom. He runs away. Caroline walks
over and asks Gabi if she wants to talk about her problems. Gabi thinks
she's being insecure and feels like an idiot. Caroline says she might be
rushing things. Will had to grow up fast to look after Sami's other kids and
he doesn't want to make the same mistakes. Will returns. After Caroline
leaves, Gabi admits she sometimes feels like he's not into her.
Mel
startles Maggie at the pub and tells her they need to get Victor out of town.
Maggie refuses to use her feminine wiles for that. Mel says it's a matter of
life and death. She explains that Brady's the one who beat up EJ. Maggie's
reluctant to help, even if she might love Victor. She wonders if she'd be better
off just living with memories of Mickey. Mel encourages her to love again. There
are hugs and sobbing. The redhead admits she loves Victor but can't be with him.
Eventually she agrees to try with him again.
At
the Cheatin' Heart, Dario and Adrienne are doing inventory. Detective McCarthy
shows up to question him. Adrienne gets defensive. Dario stares and then says he
can't remember last night. His boss says he was working all night. McCarthy
tells Dario he's a prime suspect in the EJ beating. He insists that he was
working but left briefly. The detective demands more answers. Mel walks in and
panics.
In
his hospital room, EJ is confused when Taylor tells him that Rafe killed her
mom. He figures out what happened and says this was his fault. She starts
stuttering. He stutters back. She assumes he knows more than he's saying. As she
badgers him about it, Bo walks in. Taylor accuses him of covering for a murderer
and tells him to leave. He arrests her for assaulting Hope. As he takes her
away, Carly corners them and says he needs permission before he talks to EJ. She
goes to see EJ, who asks her to call his dad. Carly gives him some pain killers.
She
runs out and shuts Jenn up before she can say anything to Hope. They walk across
the room to bicker about keeping secrets. Jenn wants to tell the cops about
Brady so they can protect him. They fill Hope in about everything. Carly gets
called back to work and Hope wonders why she's so edgy. Hope follows the doctor
around and says she'd like to help her help her daughter. The cop promises to
help protect everyone. Meanwhile, Jenn finally realizes that Carly must have
been stealing the drugs. She swipes Carly's key and plods off.
Bo
takes Taylor down to the station. They keep arguing and he tells her that he
knows who killed her mom but wants to know why. He thinks she's scared that she
thinks EJ knows why she died. Hope calls to tip him off about Brady. He tells
Taylor he'll send a cop in to get her statement. She says Salem is a police
state. Bo claims he just doesn't want her to be another 'sad' woman destroyed by
EJ.
Nicole
goes to the mansion and finds Brady wet from swimming. He gets them a drink and
she tells him she asked for a divorce. "Sometimes I think I don't make good
decisions about men," she says. He says he makes bad decisions too: like not
staying sober enough to kill EJ. Victor comes in and tells them to shut up. He
gives Nicole the boot and lectures his grandson for getting involved with her
when the DiMeras are looking for people to blame. As Victor repeats his order
for Nicole to go, Bo arrives. He arrests Nicole to keep her safe and quiet. "I
love watching Nicole go to jail, if only it could last a little longer," Victor
says. Bo admits that he knows what Brady did. Part of him wishes that he had
killed EJ but the cop part of him tells him it was attempted murder. However,
there may be a way to keep him out of jail... Meanwhile, Nicole is put into the
interrogation room with her sister. Taylor tells her Rafe must have attacked EJ.
