Slam Dunk!

Wednesday, October 01 2008
Victor visits Caroline, Melanie asks for help from Philip and Sami finds out she is pregnant.


Outside the pub, Nicole reminisces about her pregnancy news and flashes back to years ago, during her marriage to Victor, when a doctor told her that she can't have children on her own.


Maggie meets EJ at Chez Rouge. They discuss Caroline and don’t believe she killed Trent. EJ has a meeting and is annoyed that the person he's meeting isn't there yet. He cancelled the zoo with Johnny for this. He finds Philip at a table and they discuss Victor and Nicole's case. They disagree about whether or not Nicole is entitled to the money from Victor. EJ tells Philip that Nicole was the victim of deception. She didn’t know Trent didn't file for divorce, and Nicole and Victor lived together in good faith. "If Daddy Warbucks thinks he can have his way and wander off into the night…" Philip stops him. "Nobody double crosses Victor."


Lucas wakes Sami up. She had fainted on the sofa at the DiMera mansion. She's confused. He asks if she's alright and says they returned for Allie's bear. He asks what happened. "Grandma," she says. She has to go to the station. Lucas asks her to relax. She just fainted. Sami panics. Lucas lifts her up and tells her he's taking her to a doctor.



Victor tries to see Caroline at Salem PD. He's not able to and when Kayla arrives, she tells him that his help is the last thing Caroline needs right now. He only wants to help her, he says. Kayla knows he cares for her but the DA has it out for her and he doesn't need more ammunition. Victor is appalled. He's never done anything to hurt her, intentionally, and doesn't intend to start now. He leaves and Steve arrives. She explains what happened. She doesn't trust Victor. Neither does Steve, but he feels Victor has Caroline's best interest at heart.



Caroline paces her cell until Bo arrives. She's stir crazy, she admits and asks when they'll let her out. "I'm sorry, Ma. They're not." She's surprised, but he tells her that they've other suspects, but since she was found holding the murder weapon with the dead body, it looks bad. She understands. "That doesn't mean this is over," Bo says. They'll try to find a print on the knife that doesn't belong to her. She worries what will happen if they don't find any other fingerprints on the knife. Bo says they'll find another way out. Caroline worries he'll tamper with evidence. If he does, she'll turn him in herself. She refuses to let him throw away his career for her. She is innocent. An officer comes to tell Bo that someone is there to visit. He says Bo will allow it. Victor arrives. Bo allows five minutes with her and he tells her that he'll call Jean Briscoe, a good lawyer. She has Mickey, and doesn't want him to do anything. She recalls the Philip and Paul Hollingsworth mess and asks him to have faith in the justice system. He reminds her that she was found holding the murder weapon, and in the eyes of the DA, it's a slam dunk! Caroline still thinks the justice system will come through, but Victor tells her he's going to fix this. There' s nothing anyone can do about it! Caroline doesn't want him to do anything, but being here for her means so much. Victor tells her he never stopped caring about her and never will. He pleads with her to trust him but she's not sure she can. She tells him she cares for him still and asks him to let her handle it this way. Victor asks if she's going to put her faith in God. "He's never let me down," she says, and hopes she can say the same about him. Victor agrees to allow the law to handle this and promises he'll be there for her. Caroline calls him a wonderful man and friend and they share a laugh before he leaves.



Melanie sits at Chez Rouge bar and mumbles that she didn't kill Trent but will find out who did. She overhears Maggie telling a waiter to take extra care of the Kiriakis table, as they're one of their best clients. She needs to take care of her granddaughter .The two discuss how powerful they are and the waiter jokes, that they know where all the bodies are buried, and Maggie interjects, "And how they got there?" She goes to Philip and thinks he's Victor. He explains he's Victor's son and she tells him she needs help in tracking down a killer. She tells him her story and asks if Victor could help her. She heard their family is powerful. Philip is sorry for her loss but they're not private investigators. "Good luck with your search," he says and leaves.



Philip meets with some businessmen and EJ leaves, bumping into Nicole on his way out. He stops her. There's something she has to tell him and asks if he has a few minutes. He does, since his client is late, and she tells him she's pregnant. EJ's shocked. "You're pregnant, are you sure?" He tells her he believes in love and she has made him the happiest man in the world. They kiss passionately, and Nicole shakes herself awake from her daydream. She's about to tell him when his cell phone rings. His client cancelled, and he's upset, because he cancelled his day at the zoo with Johnny. Nicole reminds him he has the whole afternoon to take Johnny there. It's not too late! EJ realizes she's right and when he asks what it was she wanted to tell him, she prefers to wait. He asks for lunch tomorrow and Nicole asks for dinner tomorrow. EJ kisses her and asks her to come to the mansion for dinner. Just the two of them! He'll have the chef prepare something special! He's curious as to what this is about but she refuses to give hints. "Prepare for a big surprise," she says.



Sami is examined by a doctor, but tries to tell him she's fine. Lucas arrives and tells her he dropped Allie with Maggie. Sami feels much better, but admits she only had fruit today. The doctor tells her she needs to have some tests run, but Sami thinks she fainted because she's upset that her grandmother is in jail. They discuss how they have hurt each other and Lucas says some things are not meant to be. They both thought that they were and Sami says she's not sure what went wrong. Lucas says, "It wasn't a what, but a who!" Sami frets about getting a simple blood test, so Lucas holds her hand. He calms her down when she starts panicking about Caroline being in jail, and refuses to leave until the doctor returns. Sami asks if it'll be okay with Chloe, and he says he already told Chloe they'd hook up later. He admits he's not sure their relationship will work, considering she's probably going back to work soon. Sami admits she's jealous and asks if she's going to Austria or Vegas, but Lucas doesn't want to talk about her. Sami thinks Chloe's wrong for him. Lucas points out he feels the same about her and EJ, but she says she and EJ are just friends. "I'm taking control of my life. That means no EJ, now or ever." Lucas is proud of her. He finds her strong and resourceful. Sami needs to be her own person, someone her kids can be proud of. The doctor returns. He tells her she's pregnant.


Kayla worries about how vulnerable Caroline is, but Steve knows that the police are looking closely at Melanie and Nicole. Kayla is shocked but he explains that she is married to Trent. Bo arrives and tells them they've no evidence for Nicole. Bo gets a document from the lab. It doesn't tell them much but they've got more tests on the way. Kayla is upset that Bo has allowed Victor to visit Caroline. She worries he wants her back. Bo tells Kayla they're past all that, but Kayla thinks Victor has always cared for Ma. She takes a moment to call Kimberly to share the news about Caroline, and afterward, they learn that Caroline's fingerprints are the only ones on the knife! The DA's office tells Bo that Caroline will be arraigned and charges with Trent's murder. Victor has come up from the jail cell after talking with Caroline and overhears Bo. He doesn't look too happy.


Bo goes to Caroline to tell her the news, and she asks what this means. Kayla tells her that the DA feels they've enough evidence to charge her. She'll have to stand trial for murder.



Next on Days Of Our Lives:

John asks Nicole, "You want to tell me what's really going on?" Nicole says, "I'm pregnant."

Sami says, "I'm not pregnant! That can't be possible!" Lucas says, "Oh, it's possible all right... and I know exactly when it happened."

Daniel tells Kate, "There is no one more right for you in this moment than I am."

Where and when did Melanie get Trent's wallet? Where did the money come from? And why hasn't anyone asked Melanie about her mother? I think Stephanie has figured out that Melanie isn't what she pretends to be and will find out the whole story.

I love Sami and Nicole both being pregnant with EJ's baby. It is going to make for some fireworks the next few months. I hope Nicole didn't kill Trent because I have enjoyed having her back on the show so much. I hope she winds up with EJ and Sami with Lucas.

There are lots of good s/l's going now. The show is exciting every day. Good job writers.

lucas still cares for sami i hope they can work this out i hope that sami does not tell ej that she is pregnant and that lucas just takes the role as the daddy they need to find out that the twins are both lucas that would hopefully bring them back together!
how can kayla say that she does not won't victor to see caroline that do have a past and a son together i think that after she is found not guilty that they will get together!
why is john the first person that nichole tells that she is pregnant?she should haave told ej first when she had the chance!
... spoiler talk.......
rich team....didn't they say that melanie mother died.the money was in trent wallet ! i think that her and nick had something to do with the murder and that is why nick will get caught with dui and be locked up!!

I don't recall Melanie's mother ever being mentioned. It was said that Max's mother died, but I don't think Max and Melanie had the same mother.

Hoping the identity of Melanie's mother comes out in the police investigation. Also hoping it turns out to be Nicole..

I think Melanie knows more than she is telling and I think Nick knows more than he is telling...

i now don't think that melaine mother is nichole because she has never been pregnant. when the show first comes on she is thinking back when she was married to victor and the doctor told her that she could not get pregnant with out help!! and if she did have a child you would think that she would have remembered that..

This show looks great! The LUMI scene will be awesome and it does my heart good to see that they both still care about eachother. Ej kisses Nicole..more good stuff! Victor coming to Carolines rescue makes me happy also...Kayla should just back off. Victor is a powerful man and if anyone can save Caroline, it is him. I love that my four favorite characters are on today..Sami, Lucas, Nicole, and Phillip Good stuff!

Also, I don't think that Melanie's mom has even been mentioned. Why is her last name Layton? Trent is Robbins and he used the alias of Becker but where did Layton come from?

Is Sami really prego again???????? This is the most insane s/l ever, i mean she just had twins a few months ago. I hate Sami and Ej together they don't fit at all. Now Ej and Nicole that's a HOTT couple, they have so much more chemistry than him and Sami ever could!!! Sami belongs with Lucas plain and simple!!!
So glad Trent is dead and can't wait for that s/l to unfold. I love Chelsea and Daniel together...but totally understand why she can't forgive him.....i know i couldn't forgive the guy I was in love with for sleeping with my GRANDMOTHER!!!!! That's just gross....the thought alone would be burned in my brain 4ever! Phillip and Chloe look so good together and have a lot of chemistry as well, we need more seens with them, especially since Morgan is gone now. I hope Abe runs for Mayor that would be great....no connections for Stefano! HAHA!

Im so excited to see Nicole and Ej today. Way, Way, excited. Hopefully Lucas will forgive Sami. Heck maybe it will be Lucas's baby. Maybe they made a baby before he went to prison. One could always hope so. I dont think Ej being the daddy, would be that bad either. Could be comical. I just want him to be with Nicole. They are just to cute together. Like I've said many times, they are one of the hottest couples on Day's.
Poor Caroline! I just cant believe Nick did it, Im sure he would of confessed. Oh Chelsie and Max would not forgive him! And I woulnt either!! I just cant believe he would do that because he, himself is very close to Caroline...
There is no way it was Nick! Im guessing Cluade or maybe one of Victors goons. Im sure Victor will find out who did it and they will pay. I know he still loves Caroline very much!!

Posted by Prilla35 at Wednesday, October 01 2008 07:05 AM

Dog Gone Lumi. We sure think alike. It will be interesting about Melanie, Im sure Hope and Bo will get to the bottom of it. And if they dont I know Victor will.

Posted by Prilla35 at Wednesday, October 01 2008 07:08 AM

Lilbits, I think Phil and Chloe will be together until Brady comes back to the show.

Smiles to you Prilla35 I always enjoy reading your thoughts.
