Let 'em Come!

At the DiMera mansion, Ava pours a drink after getting bad legal news from EJ. John quizzes her about what deals she could make. He suggests she's likely to get prison time and reminds her that he's still facing charges himself. She suggests another option: "We could just skip bail and leave the country." He's not about to leave. He's admitted to nothing and never will. She heard him talking to Tony and suggests that the police will come after him over Paul's death. "Fine! Let 'em come!" he growls. She shows him pictures of her family's villa in Tuscany. It's nice but he still refuses to leave. She guesses the real reason is Marlena. "Blondie has no sway on my decisions," he says. He's annoyed that Ava's resigned herself to going to prison. She's being realistic. She doesn't want to run and doesn't want to leave him behind. He tells her that this trial will take a long time and they can be together. They continue to argue. She refuses to give up easily. He's happy and offers to make a call for her and walks off.

The doorbell at the mansion rings and Ava answers it only to find Marlena standing there. The doctor strolls in and explains that she's ethically bound not to testify against her, whatever her personal feelings may be. She then suggests that she move somewhere else. John walks in and announces that Ava will be staying with him. Marlena asks to talk to him privately. Ava makes herself scarce. Blondie wants the truth out of John about Paul's disappearance. He lights a cigar. "Did you kill him John?" she asks. Ava eavesdrops.

Sounds Delicious.

At the DiMera mansion, John massages Ava's feet. She sighs as he winks at her toes. She asks him if he has a rooftop terrace they can go to. Making love to him was magical and she wants a repeat. So would he, but not right there. EJ interrupts John while he helps Ava unwind. He tells Ava that he's just back from meeting the Assistant DA and she shouldn't be making any long term plans. John leaves to give them privacy. EJ explains that the DA's office is extremely confident in a conviction. "I think they hold all the cards. I think this will be really tough," he admits. There are many charges they can easily make and the Federal government even wants a piece of her. He'll do everything that he can, but they have her. She wishes that she could go back in time and change things. She's made one mistake after another in her life, doing terrible things and hurting people... He tells her that no lawyer in this country could convince a jury to acquit her. One of her cousins has agreed to testify against her and the Irish government want her tried in Ireland. Because things are complicated, they can buy some time playing all the parties against each other. First, they need to deal with the extradition and they have to start thinking about a deal. She wishes her father was around to fix this. He reminds her that they both know some powerful people and should talk to them. He offers to speak to John but she stops him and asks for a minute alone. After he walks out, she starts to cry.

Ranting and Raving!

At the pub, Ava hunts for an apartment. Pete gives her coffee and finds out she is having issues because she's well known. She explains she can't live in the estate because it's part of the investigation. She can't buy a house because her murder trial is coming. He's sure she'll find something.

Sami meets Ava at the apartment. Ava's grateful for the favor, and they go off to view the place. Sami stares at Steve and Kayla's place, with a worried look, then shakes her head. Ava likes the place and wants to take it but Sami needs to talk to her landlord first. While Ava goes to call John, to let him know the good news, Sami goes to Steve and Kayla. Ava is happy she'll be able to cook and John asks her to make her specialty sometime. She knows he played a hand at getting her the place and asks him to come over.

Sami talks to Steve and Kayla. She tells them she's showing her place to someone and came to talk to them about it. They ask who, and Ava shows up before she can say. Steve and Kayla are shocked. Steve asks, "What the hell?" Ava didn't know they were living there, but Sami did. "I knew you weren't going to like it, but…" Sami tries to explain and apologize, but Kayla and Steve don't want to hear it. Ava tells them she's sorry, she can't rent the place. She leaves and Steve says sorry, but closes the door on Sami. Sami's left dumbstruck.

Ava stands on the rooftop of Kayla and Steve's building. She sadly asks if John knew Steve and Kayla were living there. John didn't and calls it bad luck. He tells her not to feel sorry for herself. She's the only one in this town who understands him, so he wants her to stick around. "Maybe I will, if you allow me to move in with you," she says, grinning. He refuses her. He's still legally married to Blondie but still wants to see her - in her own space, so they can get to know each other in private. They start kissing passionately and John takes control and pushes Ava against the wall and kisses her hard…clothes come off as things get heated.

PG 13

Nicole orders a coat for Pookie on the phone before Ava meets her at the pub and shares that she spent the afternoon with John, but with nothing to dish. They fooled around but he kept it PG 13. Nicole is confused. Ava's got it all and if she were a guy, she'd "Totally jump on it!" Ava shares her secret of how she deals with John - she doesn't try to change him, but doesn't think he's over Marlena. Nicole admits she slept with EJ. She has feelings for him and Ava asks her to call him, but Nicole can't. Ava saw him at John's and EJ said he was upset about a woman - Nicole, likely. She thinks EJ likes her and encourages her friend to call him and take it slow. Nicole says there's something she doesn't know. Trent Robbins is in the way. She asks Ava to promise not to share what she's about to say. After she spills, Ava promises not to tell. Nicole's happy to have it off her chest.

The Trifecta.

John and Ava drink to the future and to Ava! They lean in for a kiss, but are interrupted by EJ. Ava comments on EJ always looking like a lawyer and wonders if he's ever heard of jeans and a tee shirt. She goes off to get a snack and John agrees with her. EJ has plans to change his life but the wardrobe stays! He tells John that he's been Mr. Nice Guy but is done with it. He needs his son to grow up strong and independent and has a few proposals for John. He admits he commends him for standing his ground after all that has happened and thinks they've something in common - the need for power control and respect. "The trifecta," says John. EJ wants in on his shipping business - and whatever else he's involved in! He can offer business expertise. John says since he's family, they'll give it a shot. If he can prove that he's trustworthy, they'll get along famously!

Onward and upward, Blondie!

Sami goes in search of Lucas, at the mansion, in the dark. She searches for the ankle bracelet, and Marlena finds her in the great room. Sami asks why Marlena's crying. Marlena tells Sami she has lost John for good. She doesn't want a clean start, but John took away her hope. When John and Ava return from the lab, Sami blasts John. He tells her this is none of your business. Sami calls him a coward and a fool. John says Blondie knew the risks. Marlena agrees but knows there are people who could help - not a stranger. Sami lashes out and calls Ava a kidnapper and murderer and bickering goes on. John's memories mean nothing to him, much to Marlena's surprise. He finds it liberating, he admits. He and Ava go upstairs and Marlena says there is nothing more to discuss. She wants to talk about Sami's love life. Sami wants to spend her life with Lucas but can't erase what happened with EJ. She lets Marlena know that she told EJ they don't have a future. Since it's hot and she's having a bad night, Sami wants to get out. Marlena suggests a few places, including Salem Inn. They may have backup power, so Sami decides to head there. Marlena stays home.

Ava and John return to the great room and think they're alone in the mansion. The blackout is growing on Ava, who finds it romantic. John pours champagne and they toast to ushering in of a new era. "The era of John Black DiMera."
