I Destroyed Your Life? It's Convenient.

It's the middle of the night and Sami drifts around the mansion. She finds John staring at the chessboard that Stefano used to treasure. He can barely sleep since his brain was scrambled, what's her excuse? She's worried. Sami says that Allie already lost her father, she doesn't want Johnny to lose his too. What would she do if EJ was deported? "You could always go with him," John suggests. He doesn't seem to understand the situation or be very empathetic, she says. No wonder Marlena wants him to get back to his old saintly self. She's not so sure that she wants the old him back, after all, she never got along that well with the self-righteous version of John. New John is tired of hearing about his old self and he's actually quite fond of the new one. She asks him if he's checked the disc of Stefano's that he found in the safe. His instincts tell him that it may contain something he doesn't want to know. He recalls seeing it in the lab where he was kept and this is not a beacon of pleasant memories. Besides, right now he just wants to get her objective opinion: He wants to know everything. She curls up and explains that Marlena fell in love with him because she thought he was her dad, but when she found out he wasn't, it was too late. They flash back to Marlena saying how much she cares about him and to Sami watching them in bed and then confronting her mother for cheating on her real father (Roman). John smiles when he hears this. "You destroyed the love between my mom and dad... seeing you and my mom together pretty much screwed everything up," Sami summarizes. "I destroyed your life? It's convenient," John says before Sami can explain how forgiving Roman has been ever since. John wonders why she isn't so forgiving to the people in her life.

Sami goes on to explain how much she hated John for taking her mom away from her dad. Then there was the time that he got amnesia and dumped Marlena on their honeymoon and ran away with Hope. John's ears perk up at that. Sami explains that Hope was having an identity crisis and believed that she was Princess Gina. He rescued her at sea and they ran off to a submarine together and became lovers. John thanks her for telling him these things, but it's a lot to absorb. He asks for more information about being her dad. She admits that everyone was sceptical that he was Roman. With his Phoenix tattoo, they even thought that he could have been Stefano with a new face. John says that the tattoo was Stefano's way of branding him as his possession, but he was truly marking him as a DiMera. She just wishes the past would stay in the past. "That's easy. Just forget about it," he advises. She would need a severe case of amnesia, she says. He reminds her that she faked it for awhile. She did, but she actually had it for awhile too and it was nice to be a blank slate. He doesn't like the past being all black, that's why he concentrates on the future. She thinks that's a good reason for him to see what's on the disc. He takes it from her hands and slips it in and a jumble of scrambled images come up. He's never seen anything like it; it must be encrypted. She suggests sending it to the ISA to be decoded. He doesn't want to deal with it now, but he's appreciated her brutal honesty. "You're not bad when you get past all your weird behavior," she admits. "I could say the same about you," he smiles.

They continue down memory lane. She recalls his early years as "The Pawn" when he was under Victor's protection. Then his time in the mission where he got his name. "This is unacceptable," John finally declares. He's been victimized for years and now, "My days of being a victim are over." She leaves to check on the kids and then comes back, telling him that he used to be good with "Tink"… even when he didn't know she was his daughter. He's confused. She explains that she changed the paternity test results to break he and Marlena up. After Belle was born, Sami kidnapped her and tried to give her away. That didn't work out, of course. Sami begs him not to tell Marlena that he knows these things. He won't reveal his source, he grins, complimenting her on the kidnapping. That seems heartless to her. "You took matters into your own hands. Good for you," he says. This seems to be his dark side talking; sympathizing with your child's kidnapper is cold. "Maybe it's easier to be that way," he muses. "Maybe I just figured you out," she says before offering her analysis, suggesting that he always keeps people at arm's length. That's not much of an analysis. She asks him if he really loves Marlena. He doesn't know what love is, he states and then says good night. Allie starts to cry and she hurries off. Once the room is left empty, a masked figure in black sneaks in and takes the disc.

Nicole meets EJ in a back alley. She never took him for the back alley type. Apparently she doesn't know him very well, he says. He passes her some cash. She tells him that she would have gladly made Sami squirm for free. "I paid you to speak to Mr. Burke," he reminds her, not to torment Sami. She assures him that she shamelessly told the Immigration agent that he and Sami were madly in love. "We're a lot alike," she says, explaining that she used to do crazy things for people without being paid for it. She threatens that she would go after him if he wasn't so in love with Sami. He's not into it. She likes that he's not a very ethical person. He insists that they keep what they're up to a secret. He's willing to do whatever it takes to make sure that Sami loves him. Despite this, he gives her a tingly feeling and she'd like to check out some other sides of his body. He reminds her that they're both married. When he met her, however, he realized that there was something he could use her for. "That's smug," she says, but at least he's dropping the nice guy act. "No one uses me," she warns. He enjoys her sexy bad girl act. "Call it my coping mechanism," she says. Maybe some day the real Nicole will appear, but this one has some things to accomplish first. She reminds him that Sami is still in love with Lucas and she will always side with him. He shrugs. Lucas is in prison and he's not competing with him; he has a plan to knock his rival off of his pedestal. Nicole wishes him luck. "I don't need luck. Samantha is going to be mine," he says. What will she do after she wins her case against Victor? "Take his hot as hell son Philip," she smiles.
