Shock
Horror
 Scami's
poker face is letting her down. Perhaps if she's trying to keep a big
secret about Will's paternity, it may be a wise option to not drop fine china
tea cups with a clatter on the luxurious cement flooring at the Geriatricakis
mansion when Kate mentions that Will's eyes are just like his those of his
Uncle Lucas.
UNREQUITED LUST
 It
must be true love. Why else would loveless Dr Mike offer to take Carrie
for a ride in his hired convertible in Los Angeles and keep an understanding
yet rueful smile on his dial while she continually whined about another
man? Yep it must be love. Carrie on the other hand must be on emotional
bypass. Don't the stars in loveless Mike's eyes, and his thumping heart worn
so evidently on his sleeve give the whining Carrie half a hint, that Mike
wants to be more than friends?
Café Bozo
 Investigative
work is thirsty work. That's Bozocop's philosophy as he searches through
the list of roadside cafés he may have missed since he's been in Rome
searching for Billieboob. Damn it! he curses. I've exhausted every
cappuccino machine from the Vatican to Venice, I've lifted every tablecloth,
and moved every condiment shaker. Sipping espresso, he looks at his new
partner meaningfully. It's time to hit the clubs. Although, I feel
that Billieboob won't be there either. Now she no longer takes drugs,
the club scene isn't her thing. Nevertheless we'll try this place - Club
Fortuna. It's been given a 4 star cappuccino rating....
GOOD COP, BAD
CIVILIAN
Shining up his new "go anywhere do anything badge" John has now
taken charge of the Stefano DiMera investigation. Come on DiMera, John
barks angrily. Tell me everything. Where is Peter Blake? As Stefano
raises a quizzical eyebrow, he sighs. Peter is dead, he yawns, watching with
interest as the John throws a major hissy fit.
 Never
fear, Commander Amiable Abe is present to restore the peace. Calm down
John! Abe urges.
We've been at this
interrogation for hours. You're tired, we're all tired. We've
specially designed the Stefano cell - so we know he can't escape.
 Let
some time go by, and we'll start again tomorrow.
Stefano remains
impassive. If his plan is to overdo the white lipstick on his bottom
lip, we think it's going swimmingly.
JACK'S FATE
Jack, Jennifer,
Hopeless and FrUnco are waiting for some word on Stefano. If John breaks down
the madman's defences, Jack could stay out of prison.
 John
arrives to report on today's interrogation. No such luck. Stefano, richest man in the universe, and
master manipulator, has so far resisted John's hissy fit and despite John's
best threatening expertise (including a particularly nasty frown, and the real
killer - leaning in nose to nose), Stefano has refused to concede that Peter's
still alive.
As all
conversations with Hopeless rebound to her miserable and lifeless love life,
this one with John is no exception. As self-absorbed Hopeless whines about
Bozo and Billieboob, John eyes glaze, reminded of his similarly catastrophic
love with the much in male demand Marlena.
ON THE WAY
Ausdumb's spent nearly three minutes alone in his apartment, before his urge
to kiss Will goodnight overcomes him. It's time to drive to the
Geriatricakis mansion in the dead of night!
THE CLUB FORTUNA
 Before
leaving Rome, SMax, J.L. King's henchman, thoughtfully provided Billieboob a
business card of where she may score drugs, now that her nasty habit has been
successfully revived.
Strung out,
sweating and pale, Billieboob looks nervously around the Club Fortuna before being approached
by a man who seems to cleverly identify those symptoms with a product he
can offer.
No thank you,
sneers Billieboob anxiously pulling out chunks of hair. I'm fine
thank you.
AUSDUMB
Ausdumb's
arrived at the Geriatricakis mansion in quick time, and stops to apologise
to Scami for his unpardonable act of telling her of her schemes and
manipulations while her father is so ill.
TRAVIS/TRENT
 Travis
the clumsy criminal, is of course, lurking behind a brick wall waiting to
hear of Jack's fate.
Now that
Stefano has been taken in for questioning by the fearsome Salem PD, plus
the newly "Go Anywhere Do Anything" badged John Black, who will
be driving the plan Travis has fought to uphold now?
BLACKMAIL
 Scami
thinks it's about time Kate help her in persuading Ausdumb to reunite his
family. After all, she's got some very interesting pictures of Kate
when she was a high-class call girl. Why look at this one!
This one would make Kate's children's hair curl!
 As
Kate snaps around, grabs the picture and tears it into confetti, Scami
starts to laugh. You don't think I'm stupid enough to have only one
copy of these things do you? she giggles. I'm don't have all this
incriminating evidence hanging around the bottom of my closet like you did
Kate!
LUCAS WORKS
As Ausdumb bids goodnight to MuteWill, Lucas plays his hand. I can see
you're trying really hard to be a good father to MuteWill, Lucas says
sighing. But you've basically deserted your child, and Carrie is now
in love with Dr Mike. You've got to be really careful that you don't
turn into your dear old dad Curtis. His mouth flapping like a gold fish,
Ausdumb decides its pointless to reply. He's feeling bad enough and
insecure enough at this point, to realise there's validity in Lucas'
argument.
SAMI &
KATE
Oh dear, sighs Scami feigning regret. What a shame it would be if
all your children found out your dirty little secrets. But that's
not the worst of it! You're manipulating other people's lives
too!
Why look at this picture, I find this most intriguing.
A picture of
you and FrUnco Kelly. You brought FrUnco to Salem to bust up Bozo
and Hopeless' relationship, so that Bozo would turn to your daughter
Billieboob! Bravo Kate!
