10-20-2017 (Friday) Coming and Going

Hope breaks the news to Jen about Dr. Rolf supposedly reviving Will after he was pronounced dead; Jennifer says, “Ben is psychotic!”  Hope knows this but believes Steffano may have had something to do with it, if it’s true; Hope says she has found nothing on Steffano’s whereabouts though, or Rolf’s.  Jen says all she remembers about Dr. Rolf was that he was “Steffano’s Mini-Me.”Andre tells Kate he has “wonderful news about Will.”  He tells her there is a chance that Will is alive; he projects excitement and asks why she doesn’t seem happy about it.  Andre goes to see Hope; he tells her he doesn’t particularly need to see her, but he says Kate insisted.  He says he hopes he’s not making a terrible mistake.

Sammi forces a “party” upon Eric for their birthday; she brings a cake and lights one candle on top of it.  She tells him they can’t waste it on something they can never have; Eric says she must be thinking of Will; she is quiet, but nods.  She tells Eric that Andre is going to lure Rolf out of retirement, and “make him feel like he’s being summoned by the old man.”  Sammi asks if she shove a piece of cake in Nicole’s face; Eric told her there’s been a change of plans.  She cheers when she thinks he dumped her; she gets mad when he tells her she dumped him and calls Nicole “that bitch.”  He tells his sister it was weird; she left to go get her baby, and when she came back, it was like somebody “flipped a switch.”  Brady talks to Nicole in the park; he tells Nicole that he is getting “satisfaction” out of this.  She asks why he is trying to control the rest of her life; he snaps back that it’s because she ruined the rest of his.  She pleads with him to let her be with Eric; Brady says if he finds out that she leaves town with Eric, he will call the cops immediately.  He tells her, “you Can’t be with the one you love” and adds, “welcome to my world.

Sammi jumps up and tells Eric she has to go somewhere; he asks what she’s going to do.  She says maybe something, but promises not to get into any trouble; she leaves.  Eric looks through a box of old photos, then recollects the recent good times, and bad; he stands frozen.  Nicole bumps into Sammi in the Square; Sammi tells her Eric is “in shreds.”  She says they both know she was never good enough for her brother; she is grateful she dumped him, she says… Nicole tells her to wait, saying she has no idea what she’s talking about.  (Personally, I’m a little annoyed by this whole storyline; Nicole seems like a flip-flopping slut, who can’t control her urges and can’t make up her mind.  Not the Nicole I love.)  She tells Sammi that what she did, she did for her daughter and says she won’t explain it to her; she tells her she would have done the same thing.  Sammi wishes her luck; Jen sees Nicole, asking if that was Sammi.  Neither one knew she was back in town; Sammi asks what Sammi said to her.  Nicole says it wasn’t her.  She sits down and holds Holly for a minute, saying she isn’t giving up on Eric; she says to herself, “with God as my witness, I will be back” and heads out of the Square, pushing the carriage and pulling her bags.“

Adrian” insists Justin answer his phone; she says it’s driving her crazy.  Justin starts to answer his phone, but sees Maggie struggling to get down the stairs with her suitcases.  He sits the phone down on the tabletop; “Adrian” sees “Statesville Prison” calling and grabs it, dogging into the other room.  She answers as “Adrian Kariakis.”  Adrian says, “no you are not.”  She tells Bonnie she is on to her, and Steve will soon be on to her too; she says Hattie told her everything and it’s only a matter of time.  Bonnie looks worried.  Adrian demands Bonnie put Justin on the phone, but then turns desperate sounding, pleading and Bonnie hangs up on her; Justin comes in and she tells him it was just some jailbird who got his number from the phone book.  She goes to get ready for her wedding; Victor hires a Justice of the Peace, and upon meeting him, Bonnie fires him.  She brings in Sheila, who has apparently been ‘ordained’ to perform the ceremony; she pays her in cash.  Just as Victor asks about a witness, Brady walks in and asks what’s going on; Victor explains the situation very briefly, sounding obviously ‘not right’ and tells Brady if he wants to stay in his “good graces” he will stand as a “silent witness to this whole thing.”  Sheila starts to stumble through the preamble, laughing at marriage being called an “institution.”  But they are interrupted by Maggie bursting in the door, yelling, “stop!”

Kate stands, looking out the window. She turns and hugs Sammi when she sees her walk in; she reminds Sammi the chance of Will being alive is still “highly unlikely.”  They talk about Lucas and how concerned they are about him; Sammi promises to try again.  Kate tells Sammi that Andre has found Rolf; Andre tells Hope this same news.  Sammi gets mad that Chad didn’t tell her; Kate says he didn’t know.  She says Andre just told her.  A note is slipped under a hotel room door; a man sees it and opens the door.  He is surprised to see Hope Brady; Hope asks if he was expecting someone else.  Jen walks into Eric’s to find cake all over the wall and him, on the floor, holding his arm out of the coffee table.  I think there’s a necklace in his hand.
