The Road Less Traveled!


PART 1

- At the pub, Hope toys with her coffee. Bo teases about the accuracy
of her target practice today. He suspects he knows who was the target in her mind. She wonders if she has her nerve anymore. Doug and Julie sweep in and Doug jokes his girl never loses her nerve! They pull up a chair to hear what is troubling her. When they hear the tale of Stefano
and the mysterious safety deposit box, Doug wonders why she did not
just open the thing. Julie notes she was just being careful due to the involvement of the eternally sinister Stefano. Hope is exasperated. There is something in the box that both Alice and Stefano had wanted to keep hidden! She decides to go get a refill on her coffee. Julie realizes that
the phoenix is throwing her off balance. Bo remarks he is doing it on purpose, but he suspects she will find the right way to solve the mystery! She always does.
- At the hotel, Carrie is clad in her lingerie, fixing her hair. Shirtless Austin drawls it has been too long and starts to kiss his sexy wife. He wants to undress her but she stops him and reminds the professor they both have busy days. Austin unhappily realizes she is right. He so misses being with her. She understands, and they have been crazy busy. Austin thinks they must make time for each other - like a date! Carrie smiles. They go over their schedules and Austin reminds her that her biz with Rafe is not doing to great. Therefore, he feels she should be more flexible for them to have time together. Carrie pouts.
- At the loft, Sami is showing plenty of cleavage in her tight dress and kisses Rafe good morning in their kitchen. She excitedly wants to tell him something. The whole story. She never left Mad World. Rafe is confused. Sami gushes she is a spy, a mole who reports anything and everything about Kate to Madison. Is that not great? Rafe exclaims he HATES it! She is surprised but he sighs he is being honest. She has been living a lie and they have been living a lie, thanks to her. Sami insists she is not living a lie. Rafe does not agree. She accuses him of not seeing her side. Rafe snaps why did she do it in the first place. Cos the boss asked her and she is good at it. He calls it deceit. She argues cops go undercover. Rafe now compares this to something EJ DiMera would do! Sami believes that is
the most hateful thing he could say. Rafe does not want her to do such a thing, just because she thinks Kate deserves it. Sami angrily reminds him she is the breadwinner and he has no right to question what she is doing. Rafe points out she tells the kids lying is wrong. How would she explain this to them? Sami scoffs.
- At the town square, pensive EJ walks toward Lexie with his coffee. He wants to talk the campaign. Big sister snaps she has nothing to discuss.
EJ points out only one will be mayor, but they will always be family. "Think again!" says she and starts to walk away. He follows, insisting
they are family, he loves her, and they must bridge this gap. Lexie is
upset about all his betrayals. And he will never be the kind of man Abe
is. Abe is a man of integrity, ethics and morals - things he knows nothing about! EJ’s eyes darken. He becomes sarcastic. Lexie exclaims that he crossed the line and forced her to choose. So be it. She chooses the better man - her husband - and storms off. EJ appears hurt.
- Jen has summoned Mayor Abe to the house. She did not want to risk having this conversation on the phone. Did he mean he was ready to fight fire with fire? Jen has on good authority that EJ has arranged to get the debate questions in advance but she has a way to stop him up her sleeve. Abe's intelligent eyes narrow. How did this happen? Jen's reporter contact found out EJ is getting the questions via someone from the moderator's office. She suggests they get those questions too! He folds his arms and grumbles this is what it has come to. He would rather be aggressive, not cheat. Jen argues EJ already is cheating and who knows what else ... Abe suddenly relents. EJ schemes and covers up well. They sit and discuss. The mayor explains he never dreamed he would resort to such tactics.
Jen understands, but his opponent is EJ DiMera. Abe feels EJ would do damage to the city he loves so much and so ..."Call your friend!" the mayor agrees. Jen assures him he made the right decision. Abe stands up and adds that Lexie can never know. Jen promises they will keep it their secret. Abe wonders how they will proceed. They will go over all the questions in advance. Abe now declares he wants an advantage over EJ. And he has an idea ...
- Will leaves a large envelope on boss EJ's desk and starts to slip out
of  the mansion. Nicole stops him with a smile. Is he avoiding her? He stammers he has been busy. She advises him to make time for her! He makes light of his lowly duties, and mentions fetching coffee and posters. Nicole accuses him of stealing Abe's jobs plan for EJ. She wants them to win too, so whatever assignment he gets, he must check in with her first! Will grins it sounds like she wants him to be her spy. She calls him a bright kid. Will is admittedly not comfortable, for EJ is his boss. She should talk to him directly. Nicole elaborates. She is part of his team.
Her job is to protect her candidate. She needs to know what is going on
in the campaign and hands him a slip of paper, which shows the amount of money she has transferred to his account today. There is more where that came from! EJ now returns home ...
