Link to: http://www.network54.com/Forum/358339/message/1340908280/ All day ahead reports are archived at: http://www.network54.com/Forum/358635/ Director: Albert Alarr Scriptwriter: Carolyn Culliton Chez Rouge - Part 1: Abe, John and Marlena arrive. Marlena tells Abe the service was just lovely. John adds 'St Luke's was packed. Half the town was there.' Abe says a lot of people came up to talk to him about Lexie; she did so much good in this world. Why her? He looks at her picture. It's not right; it's just not right. Kayla comes in with Jack and Jennifer. Jen wonders if Abe is really up for this. Jack - Maybe he'd rather be around people than a big lonely house. Jen notices Kayla is upset as she's reading her texts and asks if she's okay. Kayla tells her it's Steve. He's sending his condolences. Jen - In a text? Kayla retorts - I'm sure he'd be here in person if saving the world didn't come first. Jack - I'm sure his heart is in the right place. Jen - His heart should be here with you and your kids. Jack - I don't know what it is about Steve and my gene pool, this Devereaux / Johnson background; but we both have this need to save the world. He offers to talk to Steve. Kayla - No, please don't. We have talked and talked. Our marriage is over. Bo and Hope walk up. Bo - You're kidding, right? What's going on here? EJ is about to sit down when Johnny and Sydney run up to him. EJ thanks Sami for bringing them. Sami - Lexie should have her whole family with her. Johnny says something but I couldn't make it out. EJ tells them that Aunt Lexie loved them both very much. Sydney asks when she's coming back. EJ tells her she's not coming back. Johnny - But she's with Nona. EJ says yes she is. Sydney - Are you sad Daddy? EJ - Yes, I'm very sad that's why I'm grateful to have you here. Theo comes in with Celeste and Cameron. He's excited to see that his cousins are here. He runs over to Sydney and Johnny. Abigail comes in with Chad and Gabi and greets Cameron. Cam is happy to see some familiar faces. Chad asks him how Theo is doing. Cam - Hard to tell. Kids sometimes have a disconnect from their feelings. Chad - Lexie made me promise to be a real uncle to him and I plan on making good on that promise. Cam - She said the same thing to me. She hardly knew me. Abby - I don't think she had to know you long to know that Theo was so lucky to have you in his life. Cam - Everyone here knew my sister better than I did. Gabi - They're all going to want to get to know you now. Chad - And tell you about her. Abe comes up - Yeah. Maybe that's what this party should be all about. John - Telling the old stories again. Marlena - Acquainting Cameron with the sister he barely knew. Abe - Yeah, she'd really like that. Hospital - Part 1: Dan comes out of his office and encounters Nicole. He asks what she's doing here so late. Is everything okay with you and the baby? Nicole - We're fine. I was just taking a tour of the labour and delivery room. I thought you were at Lexie's service. He was but he had to come back and check on a patient. Nicole will let him go. Dan says everything is okay now. I was going to go grab some dinner. Have you eaten? Nicole - You're not going to the thing at Chez Rouge? Dan - Full disclosure; I didn't really come here to check on a patient. I just said that because the funeral is about all I could handle. Nicole - Because Lexie was a good friend. Dan - Yeah and because my first wife died way before she should have. You know funerals and memorial services ... I just go back to that same day. Nicole - I understand. I'm sorry. Dan - So what about dinner? Nicole - You don't have to do that. Dan - Do what? Nicole - You don't have to take me to dinner because we slept together. As far as I'm concerned we could just pretend this never happened. Dan - If that's what you want. Chez Rouge - Part 2: Cameron and Abby sit at a table with Abe, John and Marlena. Cameron asks Abe how he and Lexie met. Abe chuckles - Working on the police force. Before she went to med school she was a police officer. Cam - It's hard to imagine my Prada loving sister in a uniform, hat and gun. Abe - She rocked that uniform. (Chad and Gabi are standing at the table as well). Laughter all around. Marlena - It was a rough time to be on the police force; crime was spiking in Salem then. Abe - The police force wasn't doing things fast enough for Lexie and she was frustrated and her hands were tied too often so she and my brother decided they could be more effective outside the system. Chad - Are you kidding me? The two went rogue? Marlena - It drove Lexie crazy to see some criminals going free on a technicality. Gabi - Did she nail these guys herself? John - She and Jonah, Abraham's brother, hell, they even had a handle, didn't they? Abe - Yeah, people called them The Pacifier. Cam - Get out of here! Gabi - That is awesome! Marlena - That was wrong; Lexie knew that. John - Lexie didn't know she was a DiMera back then but there was something about that girl that just didn't like playing by the rules. Marlena - She went outside the law for the greater good. She believed very strongily in doing that. Cue flashback of Lexie confessing to Marlena that she is The Pacifier. Abe - She was finally caught and it was up to me to fire her from the police force. Chad - That must have sucked. Abe - Yeah, it did. I finagled a way to get her reinstated but she turned me down. She said she wanted to find a different way to help people. Cam - So she went to med school. Abe - Dr. Horton was her mentor and she graduated at the top of her class. Marlena - Well she never did anything halfway, did she? Abe laughs - Hardly ever, no. EJ asks Sami if William is not coming. Sami - Allie was getting tired so he took her home. Are you looking to find Will; have an errand for him? EJ - Could we please not start that tonight. Sami - What would Lexie think about what you're doing? EJ - Can you please leave it alone for one evening. Can we just agree to call a truce? I'll go first. Hospital - Part 2: Nicole follows Dan into his office. I didn't mean to put you on the stop. You don't owe me anything. Dan - What if I just wanted to get to know you better? Nicole - You were married to Chloe. I was her best friend. When she slept with Philip I helped her hide that from you. When EJ tried to kill me, I holed up in your apartment. That's who I am. Dan - Those are just details. That night when I was sitting with you ... Nicole - Very reluctantly as I recall. Dan - You told me what it was like when you had a miscarriage and it occurred to me that maybe I didn't know you quite as well as I thought I did. Nicole - Look, you just came from a funeral and you don't want to go home to an empty apartment but please don't make me out to be someone that I'm not. Dan - I'm just talking about dinner. Nicole - Okay, fine, you're buying. Dan - Why do have to be so difficult? Nicole - I'm pretty sure I made things easy on that desk. Dan - That's what I'm talking about right there. Nicole - What you see is what you get. Do you think you can handle that? Dan - I'll try. Nicole - How about this? She gets real close and tells him 'I don't like Indian food.' She starts walking to the door - And Mexican food gives me heartburn ever since I got pregnant. He follows her out the door. Chez Rouge - Part 3: Bo - I'm not liking this. Hope - Why didn't you say something when you first came back? Kayla - I just needed some time to sort through it. I just wanted to be behind the bar, help Mom and think. To tell you the truth I think I was just waiting and hoping that he would call me and tell me that he changed his mind. Bo - If that's what you were hoping for how could you say your marriage is over. Kayla - He never said that. Bo - He's my best friend. I can't believe he's treating you like this. Hope - Maybe he's going through midlife crisis. Hopefully, maybe, he's going to come to his senses. Bo - He will when I get through with him. Kayla - Don't. It's over. We're filing for divorce. Bo - Really? I'm sorry. He hugs her. You deserve better than this. Sami - EJ, this may come as a shock to you, but I don't want to make a scene at Lexie's memorial service. EJ thanks her. Sami - How are you doing? EJ - I'm finding the whole thing to be rather difficult to be honest. Sami - It happened really fast. EJ - Yeah, it did. I just kept waiting for the phone call. Sami - What call? EJ - If I hadn't spoken to her a few days she would call and leave a message. I haven't heard from you in a while. I hope you're okay and you're not doing anything illegal or monumentally stupid. Everytime the phone rings I think it's her. Sami - She loved you and she was proud of you and she knew what a wonderful father you are. EJ - You think so? Sami - I know so. EJ - Thanks. He covers her hand with his. Kayla and the others come over to the table as Marlena is commenting - As I recall you weren't so crazy about her going to med school. Abe protests - I was proud of her. Marlena - Yeah. Abe - I was just afraid I'd never see her again. John - You finally came around. Bo scoffs - Came around? He was her biggest fan. Flags and all. Cue flashback of Abe and Lexie talking about keeping their goals in perspective and having a family. Abe chuckles - She sailed through med school and finished her residency in no time. She finally found the thing that she was born to do. Hope - She was an amazing doctor. Kayla - She was the best Chief of Staff I ever had. Abe - If only she could have found a way to beat this. Jen - Abe, it didn't exist or she would have found it. She would have done everything to stay with you and Theo, you know that. All of our lives are going to be so completely different without Lex. HTS - Part 1: Dan and Nicole are dining at the outdoor cafe. Nicole comments that he's not drinking - are you on call? Dan - No. Nicole - Did you take some kind of pledge? Why don't you have some kind of drink or a glass of wine or something. Dan - I thought it would be easier for you if I didn't. Nicole - Really. Dan - 9 mos is a long time. I know you used to enjoy a cocktail every now and then. Nicole - By every now and again, did you mean all the time? The baby means more to me than that. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I won't have a martini shaker in my suitcase the day I deliver. You can have a drink. I'll live vicariously through you. Dan is fine. Nicole - WOW. Here I am sitting here with you sober and actually not having a bad time. Dan - You sound surprised about that. Nicole - It could have gone either way. Dan - Hey! Nicole - It's not like you're good looking or anything. She chuckles. You can be charming when you want to be. Dan - But? Nicole - But normally I'm ususally attracted to men who are a little less predictable. Dan - Predictable how? Nicole - Okay, how's this. If it's sick you cure it. If it's not sick you act superior to it and if it moves and wears a dress, you sleep with it. How's that? Perfect! Dan gets up - Excuse me. Nicole - Wait, where are you going? Dan - I'm just going to live in the moment here. He picks up a guitar. Did I tell you I was a guitar virtuoso? Nicole - No. Dan - No? Let me just start with a little ... He starts strumming and singing O Solo Mio (very badly) ... and then I'll segue down to some Bad Bad Leroy Brown. Nicole tells him to stop before he hurts himself. Dan puts the guitar back. Nicole - So are you really a guitar virtuoso? Dan - No, but I think I proved to you that I'm not predictable. Nicole smirks. Chez Rouge - Part 4: Abe - And when she told me she was going to have a baby, that was one of the happiest days of my life. Cue flashback of this moment. Hope hugs him - Thankfully you have Theo. He's a very special little guy. Abe - Yeah, he's got so much of Lexie in him. EJ gets up and stands by the fireplace. Sami follows and asks why he doesn't go talk to Abe and everybody. EJ - I'm persona non grata with your family but you go ahead. Sami will hang back here. Not because of you. It's just that Lexie and I weren't exactly tight you know. I wanted the kids to be here for her obviously but she didn't get along with me very well. EJ - I didn't think things were that bad. Sami - Well, it was a long time ago but oh yeah, she hated my guts and I gave her pretty good reason to. Cue flashback of Lexie confronting Sami about how she and Brandon share a bond that Sami will never break. Sami - Hey, she's actually one of the people who gets credited for beating me at my own game. EJ - Really? That's saying something. You're hardly an amateur when it comes to lying and scheming. Sami - Thank goodness or I never would have survived being married to you. That was a long time ago, Lexie and I moved on and she helped Johnny when I was sick last year. She went out of her way ... she didn't have to do that. EJ - You know what she'd always say to me. She'd say 'If you and Sami would stop trying to destroy one another you could actually make each other happier than you've ever been.' Can you imagine? Sami lets out a nervous laugh. Abby tells Abe that when she gets marriage she hopes to have a marriage like his and Lexie's. Jack - What? You don't want to be like your mother and me? Abby - You, no! Everyone laughs. Abe - It wasn't smooth sailing always for Lexie and me. Marlena - How could it be? John - Yeah, with Stefano as a father-in-law. Abe - When Theo was diagnosed with autism I didn't want to see it. Lexie made me realise I couldn't afford to be in denial. We had to help our son reach his full potential. Lexie wouldn't have us do anything else. Hope - And look what the two of you have done for him. Cue flashback of a breakthrough moment for Theo witnessed by Abe and Lexie. Abe - Which is why I created this foundation in Lexie's name to help support other families dealing with autism. If they feel the same fear and powerlessness we did ... Hope - Abe, that's wonderful. Abe - I hope I have what it takes to raise him on my own. Cam - You're not alone Abe. Bo - You've got that right. Chad - You have all of us. That's a promise. Kayla - Anything you and Theo need, you know where to find me. Hope - And me, and all of us. We're always here for you and Theo. Don't ever forget that. Sami - Well, obviously Lexie meant well but the idea that we could make each other happy, that's nuts ... EJ - I was just telling you her theory, it's not something I subscribe to. Sami - Of couse, but I mean, it's just crazy, after everything ... EJ - Yeah. She was a little more optimistic about human nature than you and I. Sami - Well that's nice. It is. EJ agrees. You know I wanted to talk to you about her feelings for you. I know she believed that you could change. This could be your moment. EJ - Why? Because my father is dead. Sami - Well yeah. You don't have to follow in his footsteps. You don't have to impress him anymore. You could be your own man. EJ - It's not that easy to change course Samantha. Sami - Lexie did. She got out from Stefano's influence and I know she believed you could do the same thing. Your biggest problem is that you don't want to. EJ thinks they should put a stop to this conversation before their truce goes down in flames. Sami - Fine but for the sake of the kids I really think you should think about it. She walks away. Abby asks Chad if Melanie knew about Lexie; they worked together. Chad left her a ton of messages telling her to call me but she never did. I didn't want her to find out about Lexie in a message but I finally gave in; figured she'd have to call me after that but no, nothing. Abby - It's just so strange; it's not like Melanie at all. Gabi - I know but she needed to get away but I know when she's ready, she'll call. In the meantime Chad, you have us. She rubs his shoulder as Abby watches. Abe gets off the phone. Bo - Brandon? Abe - Yeah, he couldn't get away for the funeral. I told him to wait. In a few months Theo and I'll be used to ... he stops. Hope - You never get used to it. Abe - I guess you two must be thinking a lot about Zack today. Bo - Yeah. Abe - You know Lexie she never did get over the guilt of trying to keep him for herself. Bo - We forgave her a long time ago and when we lost Zack he belonged to all of us. And a lot has happened since then. Hope - Friends always find a way back to each other. We're family. Abe hugs both Bo and Hope. Celeste comes up to EJ and ask him how he's doing. EJ - Do you really care? Celeste - Alexandra did and she wanted us all to try and get along for Theo's sake. EJ - Theo is going to want for nothing. Celeste - Money and things are not what she was talking about. EJ - Can I ask you a question? Celeste - Yes. EJ - You're supposed to have this 6th sense. Are they ever going to catch the man who killed my father? Celeste - Whatever happened that night it will eventually come out. Is that what you really want? HTS - Part 2: Nicole thanks Dan for dinner. Dan will walk her to her car. Nicole - Thank you but I'm a big girl. Dan - Nicole. Nicole - Really, what are you going to do? You going to kiss me good night and hold my hand? Sorry, but little kisses and handholding is not for people like us. Dan - Who are they for? People like Rafe? Nicole - Or your Rebecca. I'll see you around. Dan - Take care of yourself. Nicole watches him walk away. Dan stops and watches her. Chez Rouge - Part 5: EJ - Why would I not want my father's killer brought to justice? Celeste - That's exactly what I was asking myself. EJ - I know what you're thinking. Celeste - Really? I thought I was the one with second sight. EJ - I did not kill my father. Celeste - I believe you. EJ - Do you? Celeste - Something tells me you're speaking the truth. I'm sorry if I upset you. She gets up and walks away. Abe - Excuse me everyone. Let me have your attention. Most of you know that this gathering here tonight was Lexie's idea. She did a lot of the planning because she wanted everyone to have a good time. So she made me promise that there would be dancing. So come on, this is what she wants so grab a partner. John and Marlena, Bo and Hope start dancing. Gabi tells Chad she knows he'd like to dance with Melanie but since she's not here, will you dance with me? Chad - Yeah sure, my pleasure. Kayla goes up to Abe - Don't think you're getting out of this. Abe doesn't think this is a good idea. Kayla - Lexie said everybody, come one. They go out on the dance fllor. Johnny grabs Sami's arm and leads her to EJ's table. Mommy, why aren't you dancing with Daddy? Sami - I don't think that's a good idea. EJ agrees. Johny - But Aunt Lexie wanted everybody to dance, right? EJ - Okay. Johnny hands him a white rose. EJ gives Sami the rose and they dance. Abe looks around - She got what she wanted. Kayla thinks Lexie is looking down on them right now. So does Abe. Hope clinks her glass - I'd like to offer a toast. To my dear friend Lexie Carver. If a woman is lucky she gets to have a friend like Lexie. Someone who always listens without ever judging. Someone you can cry with at sad movies, have a glass of wine with and watch the kids play happily together. Someone who understands when you just need to vent and complain about life and then gently reminds you how important forgiveness is. While she was going through the most difficult, worse time in her life she reminds you to cherish the ones that you love while you still have the chance. I was very lucky, very, very blessed to have Lexie as my friend. To Dr. Alexandra Carver. I love you Lex. I will never forget you. To Lexie. Everyone - To Lexie. HTS - Part 3: Nicole has her phone out contemplating placing a call. God, am I stupid. She throws her phone in her purse and turns around and sees Daniel there. He touches her softly and stares into her eyes and then they kiss. Chez Rouge - Part 6: Marlena - I'd like to share a memory of Lexie with you. It was several years ago and we were in Chicago and we saw a performance of Shakespeare's The Tempest. In the 4th act Prospero has a speech after he gives his daughter to the man who loves her. And I turned to look at Lexie and she had tears running down her face. In memory of that moment with my friend I would like to read you that speech. Our revels now are ended. These our actors, As I foretold you, were all spirits, and Are melted into air, into thin air; And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces, The solemn temples, the great globe itself, Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve; And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff As dreams are made on, and our little life Is rounded with a sleep As she reads this there are several flashbacks of Lexie and others. Marlena - Goodnight sweet heart. The camera pans to the photo of Lexie. |

Sounds GOOD! . EJ - You know what she'd always say to me. She'd say 'If you and Sami would stop trying to destroy one another you could actually make each other happier than you've ever been.' Can you imagine? She was telling the truth! Open your freaking eyes already ejami..... Edited by EJ_SamiFF, Jun 28 2012, 01:38 PM.

Like the use of flashbacks, seems like they did good job of covering some of the major Lexie events on the show. |

deleted, b/c I think I sounded like an idiot. Oh, don't get me wrong, my Ejami hate is strong and runs deep and I think I am justified in every feeling I have re: all of that. And I do still insist that the dialogue between them in this episode sounds like the most obvious case of anvil-dropping. But the rest of the episode sounds great, and I don't want to let a few moments overshadow the rest. If the writers continue and stick with this coupling, as it is still too soon for anything to be a definite, then so be it. I can only state my disgust so many times before I sound like a one-track record. It is not really worth my time to discuss them, and I have already said most of what I've wanted to say about them. I don't romanticize them for being able to get past their history. Other characters have done that before and, imo, done it better. So, whatever. I am glad Lexie Carver is getting this kind of a tribute - she deserves it, and it is nice to see the family come together and share memories. Edited by elci525, Jun 28 2012, 03:18 PM.

Sounds wonderful. The Daniel/Nicole stuff seems out of place, but I guess they needed balance. Can't wait to actually watch the episode tomorrow. |

Minus EJami, which - ow, my head hurts from you trying to bang my head in with that shit - and Dan/Nicole, this actually sounds really, really good! Love the idea of Marlena ending it with a poem and flashbacks of Lexie with her friends and family. Marlena and Lexie were really close for a long, long time. John & Marlena, Abe & Lexie were really close, and it's nice to see that sort of honored for us who've watched all that time.

Awwh, I can't wait for this. All the flashbacks!!! I'm so happy about all the flashbacks!!! And I love that they had all these different people remembering all these different sides to Lexie - even some of the bad stuff. It really sounds like a great tribute to the character - I hope it plays as well as it is written. So help me if Dikki keeps going down this road (her calling him out on sleeping with everybody and the "handholding is not for people like us"), I may become a full-fledged fan. I really like their make-no-bones-about-it dynamic. And of course, I'm excited for the Ejami stuff. The fact that neither of them are begging or pursuing, but that there seems to be unacknowledged feelings on both sides is perfect. How I wish that this was the kind of writing they would've gotten three years ago, rather than garbage that DH wrote. |

This is all wonderful! The only thing i could live without is Kayla dogging on Steve because the entire rest if the episode is very positive. I wish they had left it all positive with the way everyone was getting along. The flashbacks of Lexie and Marlena reading that quote are going to have be bawling, I just know it. I didn't want to like Dan and Nicole, but I love her keeping him company when he's having a tough time with Lexie dying of cancer like his wife did. Nicole understands pain and loss and i think dhes starting to care for Daniel. These two really do have some kind of chemistry going on I didn't expect to see from them. Rafe who? EJ and Sami. I have developed an EJami living heart and these kind of scenes are why, nobody else could sell these two after all the shit that Dena put them through. But even reading the dialogue I buy that while they still have problems, they are enough alike that they understand each other on a level nobody else does. Maybe it's because of everything they've done to and for each other. They just connect in that way that people who have known each other a long time do. Sami hasn't forgotten she doesn't want Will around EJ, but she's willing to put that aside for now, and still encourage him to be a better man. The one thing I can say Sami has been consistent about where EJ is concerned, is that she wanted him out from under Stefano's influence. The scene with the Johnny and the dancing is pure fan wanking, but I'm ok with EJami getting a turn. EJole and Lumi got their wanking this week, so its fair enough. I also happen to find EJami still has amazing "it" power when they interact this way, not forgetting their problems but just putting them aside to be there for each other and their kids. It's a relief to see them behaving like real people, especially Sami. She has a soft spot for a few people in her life, and that keeps her from being a completely shallow character. I like that they highlighted Dancole and EJami as outsiders but gave them each other to interact with in this important episode. I can't wait to watch this!! Goodbye, Alexandra Brooks DiMera Carver. You were one helll of a character from your crime fighting days, to your baby knapping days, to your time as a healer and best friend to everyone in Salem. Edited by Shadow, Jun 28 2012, 02:05 PM.

I like the use of the flashbacks for Lexie's memorial and aside from the contrived crap in this episode the memorial itself sounds very nice. And now Dan plays the guitar, interesting....seriously Dan makes my head hurt. |

Sounds good. Thanks for thr recaps. I am sure I will shed a tear or two for Lexie during this goodbye epi Not sure Bo should be judging Steve too much Not sure where they are headed with Daniel /Nicole or Sami/EJ though |

There is nothing I want to see on this ep. I refuse to watch Dicole or Ej and Sami dance. Ej and Sami should stay far far away from each other. I am definetly not tuning in. I do not need the aggravation! |
