Leaving The Earthworms Behind.
Victor
calls Madison over to the mansion. Brady walks in on them. Maggie shows Ian in.
Brady isn't thrilled to see him, especially after he learns that Ian is Titan's
new CEO. When Brady throws a 'tantrum' and tries to deck Ian, the new CEO whacks
him with his walking stick and shoves him into the floor. Victor is baffled by
this scene. Brady explains that Ian is Madison's husband. Victor isn't happy
about this and rescinds his job offer. Ian tells him it's too late, whether he
likes it or not. He's already signed the contract and is raring to get to work.
Ian excuses himself. "What a jerk!" Maggie moans. She and Victor leave to call
some lawyers. He beats himself up about not checking Ian out more thoroughly. He
never would have done that before they got together. His wife doesn't like him
saying that. Meanwhile, Brady refuses to talk to Madi. She talks anyway,
apologizing for lying but insisting that she loves him.
At
the penthouse, Marlena and John pack up for their trip. "Alamainia is not
exactly romantic," he warns. Bo, Hope and Roman arrive. Hope is sure this will
all be over soon but she's really upset about leaving Ciara and their earthworms
behind. Bo hopes Stefano rots in hell for all of this. They head to the airport.
Something is wrong with their visas. They instantly blame Stefano. John tries
calling Viv for help but she won't take his call. Marlena goes off to call
Nicolas and Hope starts flashing back to sucking face with John. The visa
problem is suddenly solved so they can all board. Moments later, they're
informed that only Hope and John have permission to go to Alamainia.
In
the town square, the crowd cheers Lexi to join her husband on the podium. She
runs away instead. Abe makes his speech anyway and then gets down to whisper to
Jenn about what happened. He runs off to find his wife. He finds her outside the
square sighing. Abe tries to explain. She accuses him of being just as dirty as
her brother. He says he had to do something. She tries blaming Jenn but he won't
allow it. Lexi says that the only thing that stopped her from being like her
family was Abe. She walks away in tears. He chews his moustache.
At
Casa DiMera, Nicole assures EJ that the nightmare of Abe winning will be over
soon. They watch the news footage and wonder where Lexi was. Nicole tells her
husband to wait until he makes his concession speech. He doesn't see the point
in waiting and putters off. "Ai ai ai ai ai," Stefano groans. Nicole assures him
she won't let EJ down. She runs off and Kate shares a loving moment with her
husband before bringing up Alice's envelope. He wants to let sleeping dogs lie.
She stares into the fire and thinks of Ian. He senses something is bothering
her. Kate insists it has nothing to do with them. After giving him a kiss, she
leaves, asking him not to wait up for her. Once she's gone, he takes out the
envelope and finally opens it. "No, no... this can't be," he says as he reads
it. He cries. Meanwhile, Kate runs into Ian in the square. He assumes she's been
thinking about him. "You think enough about yourself enough for both of us," she
shoots back. They start kissing.
Nicole
chases EJ down to the square and asks him to give her time to fix things. He
just wants to get this over with. Jenn comes over to gloat about him being a
loser. Elvis walks away so Jenn badgers Nicole until she gets a call and smugly
walks off. A call comes in for Jenn. "You have got to be kidding me!" she blurts
out. Meanwhile, EJ corners his sister and guesses something is wrong. He offers
his congratulations anyway. Abe joins them and EJ tries congratulating him until
Nicole runs over to say there were voting irregularities so there will have to
be a recount. Jenn runs over and drags her candidate away. She explains there
was evidence of ballot tampering and assumes they were set up. Roman arrives
with some election officials to say it was rigged. The officials take EJ away to
talk and Roman tells Abe he knows he would never do anything wrong. Lexi shows
up, and she's a lot less convinced. She spills to Roman about her husband's
double dealing with the debate. "I don't know what happened to the man I love,"
she cries, running away. Roman tells his friend they need to go to the station.
Across the square, Nicole tells EJ that she's taken care of everything. They
hug.
