Sami and EJ have a favor, Kiriakis's have a family dinner and Nicole's back in town!
At the DiMera mansion, Rolf continues to study his American accent while John watches, smiling. Rolf tells John the book is causing him brain damage. He rants at John to stop the madness but John refuses. He holds the jail card over Rolf's head and says he wants a valet, just like Victor Kiriakis's valet, Henderson, who does everything for him! Talk turns to Kiriakis Shipping and John won't rest until he has one upped them. As the doorbell rings, Rolf complains that once upon a time, he was a brilliant scientist and now he's answering doors. Marlena arrives and is surprised when Rolf says he must announce her! Marlena tells John she had a call and she trails off, when Rolf doesn’t leave the room. John tells him to leave and once he's gone, John says he's returning the torture and it's kind of fun, he tells a surprised Marlena. "Revenge is sweet." Marlena says Sami called to invite her here and John jokes he has killed people for less! Marlena's not impressed with his wit. Sami and EJ arrive. EJ says they're in a bit of a fix and Sami says they're the only ones who can help. Again, Marlena tells Rolf to leave and John gives Rolf his book on American accents. Rolf spits out, "I'd rather wait until the movie came out," before he leaves. Sami tells them the immigration officer wants to deport EJ and John asks, "And the promise is?" EJ says, he'd have to move! Sami says the twins need a father. John disagrees. He grew up without a mother and he's fine. Sami and EJ are both having issues paying rent and though EJ has a job; it'll be a while before they have money. John finds his check book and offers money but Sami says it's more complicated. Immigration wants proof of a real marriage and wants them to spend time with their family. EJ and Sami suggest they be able to live with Marlena but she balks at this. "It's not big enough", she explains. She thinks she could get a bigger place that is more comfortable for them and then looks to John. "I've changed my mind," she says and tells them she's too busy for that and the real estate market is up in the air. She thinks they could move into the DiMera mansion! Sami and EJ decline a few times over while John looks up, aghast, but Marlena talks them into it. She thinks the children "could help John regain his lost humanity!" Meanwhile, Rolf annoys them with constant interruptions of food and drinks offerings. Marlena agrees that this is going to be weird but John was traumatized by Stefano. He's not hostile anymore and even she has done unconventional things lately. Sami asks her to move in with them, much to Marlena's shock, and says John is not her husband but she may have a point! If John agrees, Marlena will do it.
At the Kiriakis mansion, in the dining room, Victor tells Philip he's certain that he can handle the thorn in their side, John Black. Chloe and Chelsea arrive and Victor fawns over Chelsea, helping her to her seat and giving her water. Chelsea asks him not to fuss but he enjoys it. Dr. Daniel Jonas arrives and introductions are made. Chloe makes herself known to Daniel and Daniel asks Chelsea not to call him 'Doctor' tonight. Henderson reports that they've made the menu just for the doctor and serves them champagne to celebrate. Victor toasts to Philip, Chelsea and Daniel. Chloe notices that he didn't include her and sulks. The doorbell rings and Kate arrives, unannounced. Everyone asks her to stay and dine with them so she takes a place beside Chloe and Victor tells Kate what they're celebrating. Victor gives Chloe the evil eye when she says they're celebrating her just for being her and Kate comments this should be an interesting night. Daniel and Kate toast to Victor and dig in to the delicious food. Daniel says this reminds him of a dish he ate in Italy. He tells them about a case of a sick girl and they admire that he saved her life. They toast to him as Chloe asks Henderson to refill her glass several times! He says he was in France when he learned to surf and goes into detail about the beautiful beaches, waves and excellent night life. He says he gambled and lost his shirt! Victor happily tells the family he has had a special desert made for Chelsea and asks Kate to figure it out. Kate guesses chocolate and Chelsea gets in on the guessing game. Kate is thrilled to see her granddaughter smiling and enjoying herself for a change. Everyone appears to be happy to have the family under one roof except for Chloe, who says, with a roll of her eyes, "We're a regular "Little House on the Prairie!". Henderson brings a divine chocolate cake and red wine. Daniel says both have antioxidants when taken in small quantities. Daniel admits he has attended one of her operas, "The Magic Flute". He isn't into opera but she was terrific, he boasts. Chloe loved it; she says and accepts the compliment. He calls her the talk of Vienna and under his breath, Victor comments, "They're still talking!" This prompts Chloe to run off with Philip at her heels. She flashes back to her recent audition and how poorly it went because of her reputation in Vienna. Philip asks her not to let his dad get to her and Chloe says she's tired of the pointing fingers. Philip asks what he can do to make things better and she wants Victor to apologize. Philip laughs.
Back at the dining room table at the Kiriakis mansion, Victor apologizes for his temper and Kate tells him if he continues on this path, he'll push Chloe into Philip's arms. Chelsea explains to Daniel about the family and Brady's disappearance. Daniel is lost! "I think I have to meditate on this one. Actually, I think…. Medicate," he jokes as he sips wine. Daniel comments that Kate and Victor seem to get along well and Kate says they manage. Chloe and Philip return and Kate comments, "A wise man knows when to apologize." Victor apologizes, but it's not the best… Philip shrugs. It's as good as it's going to get and before they're able to sit down, the doorbell rings. Everyone argues and Victor yells for everyone to stay quiet. Henderson brings the guest in…and it's Nicole Walker, who arrives with a little puppy in her arms, much to everyone's chagrin!
