DAYS OF OUR LIVES RECAPS

Sami was shocked when Caroline seemed to support her marrying EJ. Caroline just supported Sami doing what she wants and didn't want to discuss it further! Sami felt slighted, and Caroline pointed out they always "go in circles" about the DiMeras. "Why do you need my seal of approval?" she groused.


"Because, Grandma, I'm confused!" Sami confessed. Caroline told her to un-confuse herself so they could some day move on to other topics. Elsewhere, Rafe kept digging into Nicole and EJ's big secret, while Nicole reveled over a CD copy of EJ's incriminating conversation. Then, a worried Fay called her wayward daughter and Nicole made excuses and hung up. At his place, Baker was all jumpy about his and Nicole's schemes ... and Hope, too. After her chat with Caroline, Sami promptly ran into Rafe. Sami accepted Rafe's offer of coffee and was about to tell him about her developments with EJ when he got a call from work. Sami got all bent out of shape, and Rafe was very confused. "Your business calls are more important than anything else!" she huffed. Naturally, Rafe got another work call, and they parted on a sour note. Out on the pier, Nicole and EJ traded barbs and she blackmailed him into loaning her his thug, Marco. At Nicole's place, she told Marco to pay someone a visit and handed him a photo of Dr. Baker! Speaking of paying visits, Rafe dropped by Fay's to question her about Nicole. As for Sami, she walked out onto the pier and found EJ wearing a silly fishing hat and fishing! She cracked up, and he handed her a pole. His a-dork-ableness baffled her ... but things quickly became clear when she "caught" a ring and he sank to one knee to propose properly. "I love you, I've always loved you," he declared. "Will you marry me?"

At the police station, Bo questioned Theo and grew worried about Hope. Abe and Bo discussed Theo's wallet revelation and Bo decided to talk to Ciara. At the Kiriakis mansion, Carly was frustrated by Hope's inability to remember her odd behavior. Vivian walked up, offering her snarky .02 cents and Carly and Hope both told her to go away. Alone, Carly noted that Vivian's spewing had clearly gotten to Hope, and they had a heart to heart about how much Bo had hurt her. Out at the park, Ciara, wounded by how Bo didn't believe her in the past, refused to talk about Hope's treasures. Bo apologized, hugging and kissing her, and eventually got her to open up about her mom's behavior. Back at Victor's, Carly talked about what had led her to kill Lawrence. "I was desperate," she explained. Hope, overwhelmed by the week's events, assured Carly she doesn't have to worry about her and wanted to get some sleep. Alone in her bedroom, Hope popped a pill, realizing she needed to refill her prescription. Back in the park, Bo asked Ciara who all the wallets belonged to. "Uncle Roman, Uncle Justin ... Uncle Abe," she rattled off. Bo was stunned. Meanwhile, at the pub, Carly warned Vivian not to involve Hope in her feud against Carly and told her to start treating Hope with "kid gloves" or Bo would have Victor kick her out. Of course, Carly's defensiveness only piqued Vivian's curiosity! Back in Hope's room, she awoke in Nighttime Hope mode, rarin' to go!
