Who Needs Clothes?
At
the loft, Sami interrogates RoboRafe about all of his clothes being gone
from the closet. It seems to her that he's moving out. He doesn't see the
big deal and claims he would come back when he was done thinking. She thinks
he's been pushing her away to save her from him and his problems. Sami wants
to save their marriage. She doesn't want to grow old without him. They start
kissing but then she walks off to call and check on the kids. When she comes
back, he says they're all talked out and starts groping her. She tells him
to unpack. "Who needs clothes?" he asks. She putters off to get his stuff
out of the car. He calls Dario and asks him over. Sami returns and they
discuss laundry and then she goes off to do it. Dario shows up at the door.
RoboRafe takes him to the hall and claims he wants to work things out with
Sami. He asks him to keep his one night stand a secret. Sami stands by the
mail slot and listens. RoboRafe loudly makes excuses and gets his brother to
promise to keep his mouth shut. Sami's heard everything though. The brothers
argue as Sami makes faces. Dario warns him that he'll have his eye on him.
RoboRafe looks through the speakeasy to make sure Sami was listening. When
he enters, he offers to make lunch just like the old Rafe. "The old Rafe
didn't bring sluts home and sleep with them in our bed," she says.
Stefano
drops by the mental hospital. The orderly explains that Rafe escaped. He
thinks Stefano should let this screw up go because Rafe is as dead as a
doornail. Stefano isn't so convinced. "He was a very clever man," Stefano
says. The orderly points out that he didn't even know his name. Stefano
needs to see a corpse before he'll be satisfied. Meanwhile, Rafe runs
through the woods. He loses his key. When he falls over, he notices it's
gone. He crawls around and finds it. A shadowy figure finds him.
At
Casa DiMera, Nicole keeps thinking of EJ and Taylor smooching. She asks the
pair what's new. EJ asks Taylor to leave but her sister stops her. Nicole
thinks they need to figure out where Taylor is going to live from now on.
He's confused. "I know how you two feel about each other," Nicole says.
Taylor starts to stutter but her sister starts rambling about how they don't
get along. As she goes on and on, Taylor begs her to stop. Nicole gets a
call, claims it's Chloe and then runs off. This upsets Taylor but EJ insists
there will never be a right time to tell Nicole. Stefano strolls in to
announce that Theo is okay. Taylor runs off to see Lexi. Stefano explains to
his son that RoboRafe is back. EJ worries and says they need to get RoboRafe
out of town immediately. However, he refuses to postpone asking for a
divorce even if that could make the situation worse.
Nicole
meets with her lab tech who explains that the DNA sample matches Rafe. She's
thrilled. Sitting down, she wonders what to do next. Her sister shows up.
Nicole is cold and walks off. Her sister follows her to the Cheatin' Heart
and demands she tell her why she's so upset. Nicole tells her how wonderful
and trustworthy she is. Taylor gets uncomfortable. "What I have to tell you
is going to freak you out," Nicole warns her.
Abigail
arrives at the pub where Kinsey, T., Will and Gabi are talking about school.
Abby drools when Chad walks in. T. calls him over and advises everyone to
slack off this semester. Chad gets snarky and says Abby is the one who knows
what's best for everyone. This embarrasses Abby. She and Chad go into the
corner to bicker and he accuses her of playing him concerning the hospital
internship. She points out that working for the DiMeras is the only way he
can afford school. She knows he needs that but she's still afraid his family
will turn on him. He assures her that all will be well and suggests that
she's just projecting her own issues with her father. Back at the table,
Kinsey mopes and explains to Gabi that her dad is bankrupt and the family is
losing everything. This means she won't be going to college. Across the
room, T. encourages Will to take Gabi back to the empty loft for a 'private
study session'. Kinsey storms out and T. follows her. Will joins Gabi and
suggests they go back to his place. She likes that idea. As they head out,
they get texts that their relatives are back. He stutters and says he's
glad... uh that his mom and Rafe are talking.
Tuesday May 3, 2011 You're Such A Pig.
At
the pier, Nicole thinks of her sister kissing EJ. "No matter what EJ says or
does, he will never be capable of loving anyone," Nicole tells her. Taylor
wonders what she's going to do. Her sister says she's done talking about it.
Nicole heads to the pub and finds Syd eating ice cream. She hugs the little
girl and sobs. She asks Mary to keep her there while she takes care of
something. "I"m never going to let you go," she promises Syd.
At
Casa DiMera, EJ barely pays attention while his father suggests that he
postpone his divorce plans. EJ perks up and refuses. He says that he's
planning to marry Taylor. This makes his father groan,. "You are not going
to stop me!" EJ complains. His father worries he's throwing everything away
for a bookkeeper. Elvis just wants a real family. Stefano thinks he's going
to suffer if he screws Nicole around. His son is sure that he can marry
Taylor the day after he divorces Nicole and she'll be okay with that.
Stefano's insulted that his son can be this stupid. Marco calls to say that
Troy is coming back to life. EJ orders his father to have him killed.
Stefano taunts him and asks him if Taylor really thinks he's just a small
town lawyer. He leaves chuckling. Taylor arrives and tells Elvis about what
Nicole said. He explains that since Nicole already knows the marriage is
over, that's just one more reason for them to stop delaying getting
together. That doesn't convince her and she asks him to go easy on her
sister. Nicole shows up so Taylor runs off. He tells his wife that it's time
for a divorce.
At
the Safe loft, Sami confronts RoboRafe for sleeping with some skank. He
claims he went a little crazy. She says he's obviously not the man she knew.
"Who am I then?" he asks as he fondles a kitchen knife. She keeps talking
and he realizes she doesn't know anything. Sami rants and he keeps saying it
was nothing. "You're such a pig," she says. He accuses her of doing the same
thing while she was away. She claims she would never commit adultery and she
won't let him get away with it. "I feel dead inside," she says. He offers to
make her feel alive again, but that just makes her angrier so she tells him
she's been faking her orgasms. This enrages him but she tells him he needs
to find someone new to practice with. He throws her sex romps with EJ in her
face and accuses her of using him all along. "You're the same person you
always have been and always will be: a bitch," he spews. When she tries to
slap him, he grabs her arm. She orders him out but he won't leave without
his laundry. Sami offers to leave while he packs up all his socks and beer
bottles. After she storms out, he laughs and has a beer. Stefano calls to
order him out of town. She heads over to the pub and Caroline wonders why
she's not with her husband. "We're over," Sami announces. Her grandma offers
to make her tea and cookies. Sami sits and looks at the key as she remembers
the good old days.
Rafe
dreams of running through the woods and finding his key. He wakes up and
wonders where he is. A nun walks in. She explains that she found him and had
him brought back to her convent. He refuses to see a doctor so she guesses
he's in trouble. At first, Rafe thinks this must be a scam but changes his
mind and tells her about his memory loss. The nun promises to help him.
Brady
and Mel arrives at the Cheatin' Heart. She goes in to get a table while he
stays out to take a call. She's startled to see that Dario is her waiter. He
asks her how she's doing after her ordeal and then slouches off. She follows
him to the bar to tell him how bad she feels about this awkward situation.
He claims he doesn't care that she's with Brady, who comes in and tries to
be friendly with Dario. He says he's grateful for helping Mel and offers him
any help he needs. Dario rejects that. Mel tells him to shut up and listen
for once. She and Brady leave together. Mel comes back for her jacket and
starts sucking face with Dario and his dishrag... but that was just a
daydream.

Wouldn't That Be A Hoot?
Caroline
brings Sami tea and cookies at the pub. She hates seeing her unhappy. Sami
says she's speechless and then rambles. She thought she could fix Rafe after
breaking his brain but now she has to walk away. Sami explains that he slept
with another woman in their bed. She could handle his sense of humor, but
this was too much. However, she's not sure she can go on without him. "If I
had a butcher knife I would cut off his..." Caroline blurts out. Sami
worries she will never love again so her grandma gives her a pep talk. Sami
says it would be better if Rafe were dead than alive and not in love with
her. Caroline tells her to find the real Sami Brady. "She's a trainwreck,"
Sami says. She rifles through her purse. RoboRafe's new fake bank card is in
it. Caroline tells her she's a tough cookie and can survive anything.
Rafe
wakes up in the monastery. Sister Rose explains that his fever has broken.
She adds that he called out someone's name in his sleep: Ted. Rafe recalls
Stefano speaking to a goon named Ted. Rose tells him that she will help him.
They start praying. The nun's impressed that he remembers how.
RoboRafe
is packing up at the loft. He chucks Fay's necklace in the sink and then
notices he's lost his card. He starts tearing up the joint looking for it.
Then he goes to meet Stefano and tells him he needs cash to blow town.
Stefano offers to get him a new card and orders him to make sure the old
card is nowhere in the loft. RoboRafe heads back to search again. He can't
find it so he assumes he's home free until he finds a pair of sunglasses and
guesses Sami must have accidentally picked up the card during their fight.
Stefano
drops by the hospital to see Theo. Taylor later shows up to see him. His
therapist takes him away and Taylor sits down to chat with Lexi. She
explains that EJ's asking for a divorce. This seems to excite Lexi. They
happily discuss this. Lexi is giddy and think Taylor would make her
brother's life better. "I think Nicole's going to be fine," Taylor says.
At
Casa DiMera, Nicole tells EJ that divorce is a ridiculous idea. He claims
they have more than problems and it was all a mistake. "I'm setting you
free," he says. She likes things just the way they are. This confuses him
and he refuses to believe that she actually loves him. He offers her full
visitation rights for Syd and whatever else she wants. Nicole can't believe
he hasn't grown more attached to her. She thinks he's disgusting, accuses
him of using her for sex and slaps him. He challenges her to hit him again.
Nicole talks about how none of this makes sense. "You couldn't possibly be
cheating on me?" she asks. He acts dumb. She suggests it's Sami. He laughs
so she asks him who it is. Elvis isn't helpful. "You're scared I might slip
up, open my mouth and not be the perfect mafia wife," she says. Reaching in
her purse, she pulls out the DNA test and tells him all she knows. His head
almost falls off his shoulders. After composing himself, he says it's
nothing. She threatens to call Sami. He swipes her phone away and she
explains that she's already given her lawyer instructions in case she
disappears. "You will go to jail and then Sami and I will share custody of
Johnny and Sydney. Wouldn't that be a hoot?" she smirks. He's furious and
demands to know what she wants. Putting his hand on her throat, he tells her
blackmail won't work. Taylor walks in and her sister says she has an
announcement.

knocks over her purse, she spots RoboRafe's new bank card. Before she can pick
it up, she hears some woman go down the hall. She's distracted and talks to
herself, "Nothing is safe anymore." As she cries, Rafe shows up. When she
