‘Finishing Touches’

Daniel has to cut his romantic getaway with Jenn short when Chloe calls in a panic over Parker. The doctor rushes back to the Kiriakis mansion to discover that the kid is okay, and he is not amused. He lashes out at Chloe until Parker starts calling him ‘daddy’. That warms the cockles of his heart. Later, Jenn issues Chloe a stern warning. She and the doctor plan a night out with Brady and Kristen in Chicago. That’s not the only planning Jenn does. She also turns to Nicole for some advice on how to deal with the trickster Chloe. Jenn feeds false information to Chloe about where she and the doctor are going. Chloe falls for it and is furious when her plans to interrupt them falls apart. When she gets home to Parker, she discovers he has a very high temperature. Unfortunately, it’s almost impossible to track Daniel down.
Cam and Abby have breakfast together. They feel pretty optimistic about things. Meanwhile, Will isn’t too happy. He hands Sonny back the keys to his place and reminds him that he loved him so much that he was willing to give up his own child for him (!).
As John hunts down Stefano in Europe, Marlena lashes out at Kristen in Salem. She only succeeds in making things worse. The DiMera decides it is time to up the ante. She plans to jilt Brady at the altar. She soon discovers she might have trouble getting him there though. When she mentions marriage to him, he laughs in her face. He explains that it’s too fast and he wouldn’t want to rub that in his John’s face. She claims John wouldn’t need to know about their getting married. He still doesn’t like the idea. Meanwhile, Victor presses to have Nicole arrested for stealing Titan files! Hope manages to talk him out of it. Kristen decides to try and forge a truce with Nicole. That fails. Kristen points out how obvious it is that Nicole has feelings for Father Eric. Nicole is appalled but can’t hide the truth and does her best to avoid the priest, which confuses him.
Elvis and Sami become bedmates (again). Although that makes her feel warm and fuzzy, not everyone is feeling so good about it. When Brady hears she has reunited with EJ, he thinks she’s being wreckless. The news of the EJ-Samie affair continues to spread. Johnny knows all about it and blabs to Rafe. He declares that was the final nail in the coffin for that relationship! Caroline and Gabi both try to talk him around but no dice. When he runs into Sami, they have a brutal argument about her EJ. This fight is so big that it manages to also involves Will’s claim over the baby. Sami suggests that he could get full custody but then urges her son to have a paternity test done.
Gabi notices that Nick has a giant scar and wonders where it came from. It’s a memento from his time in prison and he doesn’t want to talk about it. Julie shows up and conveniently blabs that it was from him being stabbed while in custody. Nick still doesn’t want to talk about it. Rafe shows up and worries to his sister about Sami’s suggestion that Will could file for full custody. Nick is a convicted killer after all… Nick just happens to eavesdrop on this conversation. He buys some surveillance equipment and then texts “I know your son shot EJ DiMera” to Lucas. Nick plants the surveillance device on Will and then records the father and son’s discussion of the crime.
