They had a VERY throw away line about how because of the sepsis Bo was in isolation so no one could visit him. I guess they're allowing it now - maybe because he was given the drug or they think there's hope?

I am NOT saying what Xander did should be hand waved away, BUT trying to say that if John, Philip or Bo die it is all Xander's fault is beyond ridiculous. If Sarah would have told the truth to begin with, Philip would have never tried to steal the drug in the first place, therefore John wouldn't have even been anywhere near the meth lab. If Xander is responsible, so are Sarah and Philip. I REALLY thought Maggie was being an exceptional bitch to Xander today. To actually TELL him that Victoria would be better off without him as a father is probably the cruelest thing she could have ever said to him. It really reads like she's feeling guilty for her role in everything and is projecting on him. Agree times 1,000. I'm REALLY hoping we aren't subjected to some creepy "tribute" picture of John that various random people stand and talk to. Now if only the creepy picture of Stefano would spontaneously combust, I'd be happy.

Not spoilers, only speculation. I'm thinking that they had to have Philip in a sort of semi-conscious state so he would reveal that Sarah knew about the deception. As an act of contrition for both the original letter and the Sarah reveal, Philip will lie about who beat him, trying to pave the way for a true reconciliation between brothers.

Or John will be discovered to have contracted some terrible, highly contagious disease (since it involved a nuclear weapon maybe he will be radioactive) and Marlena will have scenes with a masked body double behind a glass wall who can't speak.

And I'm glad that the "new, caring, and good" EJ was all just a ploy. He would have been insufferable "good."

We're going to end up with the teen-agers playing house with a baby aren't we? I REALLY want Sophia to make the adult decision, put the baby(which she shouldn't even have had) up for adoption and go on with her life. I have a VERY bad feeling that this isn't going to happen. I have absolutely NO interest in two teens raising a baby.

Why does Gabi keep insisting it is HER house? Doesn't it belong to Rafe? I get Leo can be annoying but the whole petty bitch thing isn't really a good look for her. Either accept he's there and deal with it or be a complete bitch and kick Javi out.

One thing about today's episode. If EJ found the memory card (and remembers doing so) it was obviously BEFORE he was shot and since he was alone, anyone on that memory card had presumably come AND gone (unless show is trying to convince us that for some reason the person was lying in wait.) Therefore, show is NOT being clever about showing red herrings - unless they're trying to let us immediately rule out Johnny (in which case I REALLY want him to stop with the stealing of the gun flashbacks.) I think by the time this all comes out rather than building the mystery it will end up as a "Finally, that's done" moment.

I'm just really afraid that the writers are going to end up with two teenagers and a baby playing house. Somehow they will commit to said kid and fall in love "for the sake of the baby", Forget college, forget career dreams, just settle in Salem and raise a kid you never even wanted in the first place. And they probably won't have any even vaguely realistic scenes where they find out all their high school friends are heading to a great party and they're stuck at home with a baby who has colic and explosive diarrhea.

Yeah, so far, I'm not buying it and I'm not sure I actually like it. It's one thing to try and redeem someone, it's another entirely to have him become a completely different person. "Good" EJ could very easily become sanctimonious and REALLY boring.

Same here. Always thought the stories should be more concentrated on the actual people rather than devil possession or body/voice changing masks and all that other really stupid shit.

Well, at least when she was coming up with people who wanted him to live (like his daughter, Sydney) she was talking about other people. She was NOT asking him to live for her. See, this is why I like Sami. She was absolutely right to remind Belle that the last time she got in bed with EJ he dumped her in a hot minute the second Sami became a possibility. It really does seem like Belle is trying to prove something by getting into bed with EJ (again, after he humiliated her) - like maybe somehow she is so wonderful that she is now EJ's first choice and he would pick her over Sami. Of course, because Belle is "good" and Sami is "bad" someone will undoubtedly chastise Sami for being "mean" to Belle by pointing out the truth.

I honestly don't remember her character even mentioning that she considered termination. She simply showed up very pregnant so I assumed she decided to continue the pregnancy for ...... reasons? Especially since having a baby REALLY interferes with plotlines. Most of the time, characters don't even mention their kids in passing. Granted, I understand no one wants extended baby care scenes but just once, I want someone to mention that they can't meet up with friends or go on an adventure because they don't actually have someone they can dump said baby on at a moment's notice. Or they can't really have a conversation because the kid is doing what babies do, i.e. screaming, not sleeping/napping approximately 23 hours a day.

Was just going to say the same thing. And she actually said "I love you" to him. Did she witness him saving a puppy or something else we don't know about?

I get that Marlena had to be at the facility for DRAMA, but if Andrew was any sort of agent at all, he would have given her an address and sent her to Aldi's or something.
