Kate & Deimos. I was expecting hot after reading the recap on Twitter, and also because LK generally can have chemistry with anything that Kate chooses to hump. IMO, they both came off pathetic and their definitely wasn't an easy chemistry there despite all the generic "look, isn't this so hot?" generic moments. I'm also not sure why Eduardo is so up Kate's grill.

Jennifer's resting bitch face is kind of great, lol.

Dimera living room is back (size, light) after the fumigation!

TBH, I didn't watch the rest of the episode.

Segment 1
Brady walks into Summer's hotel room. How's it going? Summer - Good. I've got a mini bar and I hear there's going to be a mint on my pillow later this evening. Brady - Listen I'm very sorry that Theresa didn't tell me she was going to send you to a hotel. Summer - No worries. It's a lot nicer than my place in LA. Brady - Well I'll cut right to the chase Summer. I have news for you. Turns out Daniel had already run the DNA tests on you and Maggie. Obviously he died before he could share the results with you but I got them from the hospital. Summer - And? Brady - I didn't want to open it until I was with you. Summer - Thanks but honestly Brady I'm not sure I want to know.

----------------------------------------

Summer - I don't know if I'm ready for this. I'm about to inherit an insta-family or find out that I'm all alone again. I'm not sure how I feel about either one. Brady - Okay. Tell you what, I'll leave the results right here and you can look at them whenever you're ready or not. Summer - When I was little I thought I wanted to find my birth parents and then I thought I'm all grown up ... what do I need with a mother and what does she need with me. Brady - You know Summer I would give just about anything to have my Mom. She died when I was a baby. Summer - I'm sorry. Brady - You're looking for peace, right? Maybe that will give it to you. Anyway I'll leave you alone to think about it. Summer - Wait. If I'm going to open this envelope I want you here with me.

----------------------------------------

Segment 3
Summer reads the results. OMG. It's true, Maggie is my Mom. Brady - You couldn't do any better. What are you going to do now? Summer - Maybe she needs a little time to get to know me before I spring this on her. Brady - Why? What are you talking about? Summer - Her son just died. He was a doctor. He was perfect in her eyes and then there's me. You introduce me now, what can you say? This is Summer. She hasn't done a single thing right in her life. Brady - That's not true. Summer - No, but I'm trying Brady. I just need to make a good first impression before I lay this on her. Brady - Maggie is going to be thrilled, I promise you. Summer - I hope you're right but this is my decision. This is going to change my life and I need to do it my way.


Wait, what?
"Turns out Daniel had already run the DNA tests on you and Maggie. Obviously he died before he could share the results with you but I got them from the hospital."

Well then I guess Deimos or whatever villain could have contrived the whole thing.

Also ...
Brady doesn't look at the results, but takes Summer's word for what they say? Hmmm this could be a huge con.

Although it doesn't explain Brady dreaming of Summer.
and Dan just happen to do a DNA test with Maggie's DNA which he got from :shrug: .. oh yeah, seems plausible.

And if this is Summer on her meds I would hate to see her off of them.

For the record since people keep seeming to miss that I don't think Griffith is perfect, we're already seeing some of my issues with Griffith. He is so terrible at pacing. Today had way too much going on, and playing the kidnapping and the wedding simultaneously is on my nerves. Ultimately, pacing is on the breakdown writers (um...Quan?) but it seems to be something they struggle with more when he's in more control.

While watching Summer apparently gloating over her stolen goodies,I wondered about the scarf.Did she steal the scarf from someone?

I'm so annoyed by the weak writing. There is too much stupidity going on. Abby would know Ben had escaped. Ben tried to murder her and abducted her baby. She'd be informed of his escape by authorities never mind the fact it would be leading news on all media sites. People would know and would be checking in with her. The whole conversation between JJ and Chad was absurd. Why was JJ even hanging around the DiMera mansion the whole time? That was akward staging.

The Summer story is totally ridiculous. Nothing in it makes sense. Brady looks a huge fool to the point of constant eye rolling at the ludicrousness of his every action. It's a struggle to give this story attention because there is nothing compelling to be found in it. Even if Summer is conning everyone, I still have no desire to go on this ride. Serena had diamonds hidden in the elephant and I didn't care who found them or if she got busted retrieving them because the whole thing was stupid. From the get go it was horribly conceived and this is a carbon copy of poorly thought out story that apparently will go on as that did for far too long.

Loved the Marlena Ari Gabi scene.

The lighting and music is much better in the club today

I can't with the summer story. And Brady

Kate and Deimos were terrible today.

Pop up Paul today. I'm still pretty sure he saw the kidnapping and followed and that's how he ends up involved.

Totally get what Chad is thinking but I'm glad Abby found out. She should know and be aware of her surroundings.

Forgot to add I thought John was going to snap that cell phone he was so upset. I can't wait for tomorrow

Brady is so dumb I can't. He didn't even look at the damn results himself. Summer could easily turn out to be a complete and utter liar. Daniel sure knows(knew lol) how to choose them.

Deimos and Kate were gross. Him being so aggressive at the beginning was ridiculous to watch.

How convenient that Kate treated Gabi and Paul so horribly all of the sudden.

Telling Abigail should never have been put off in the first place.

The Marlena and Ari kidnapped pic was hilarious.

I do wonder why Brady is written to be so gullible its ridiculous.First he talks a woman who has been in a mental institution and suicidal into returning to Salem before finding out whether she is actually Maggie's daughter,he invites this same virtual stranger to live in his home with him and his baby son when he has more than enough money to house her elsewhere,he gives her the option of viewing the test results in his absence,and he chooses not to tell Victor or Maggie what is going on because the woman asks him to do so.Even if he decided not to tell Maggie,he knows Victor has the resources to vet Summer and he should have allowed Victor the opportunity to do so.
Even if Summer is Maggie's daughter she still could be a source of danger to Maggie and others.

I can kind of understand why Deimos might have thought Kate would not have had a problem with his rough handling at the start of the sexual encounter.He has been in prison for the past thirty years and on getting out,his sexual partners were probably of the paid variety who would not likely display any objections to his behavior if the price was right. I thought it was in character for Kate to let him know she would not allow him to subject her to that type of treatment but I did hate the fact he was later shown apparently buying her gifts.

I really liked Gabi,Nicole, and Marlena's hair but hated Abby,Jennifer,Summer,and Theresa's hair.The latter must have all had the same hair stylist since they all had the krinkly hair with the straight ends,just differ color and lengths.Even Maggie's big hair looked better.

Weird that JJ choes to rely on Chad's paid staff to locate Ben rather than the authorities.I am happy that JJ chose to ignore Chad's wishes and did what he thought was best for his sister and nephew.

So happy to see Arianna with Gabi and Marlena and to hear the latter disuss Will and keeping his memory alive with his daughter.I have been so pissed to hear so much about Daniel after his death and so little about Bo and Will.

Why did they waste all that time on them in bed? Unnecessary.

Not a bad episode, although there was a lot to nitpick. At least there was a lot going on.

Kate and Deimos didn't set the world on fire for me, and I found a lot of the dialogue OTT and weirdly soft for Kate. There are half a dozen other women on the show I could imagine saying most of those things before I got to her. The overly rough part at the beginning was kind of a turnoff.

I wish the Chabby drama was coming from somewhere else beside Chad lying to Abby. It's not coming off very naturally.

I wish I felt like Paul and Gabi were really an asset at what they do, so them switching sides between the companies had some stakes to it, while Kate is spending the afternoon in bed? But it didn't come together like that.

It's weird that JJ even supposedly had that choice. The authorities should be out looking for Ben on their own. This needs a better explanation. It took JJ long enough to tell her.

Sonny mention :wub:

Paul appearance :wub:

Paul called Sonny :wub:

Baby Ari :wub:

Someone remembered Will existed and is Ari's dad :wub: (i dont miss the guy but wow the fallout has been crap with his death and i always thought his relationship with the Odell twins was sweet)

Random thoughts:

Henry is tall AF

I don't care if Kate decides to sex the whole town, good for her. My only issue is that whenever they start her down a romantic path, I spend the whole time trying to figure out if the person actually loves her or is she is a pawn/placeholder, because they never do the slowburn. I can't tell the difference.

It would be much easier to believe JJ and Chad could handle the Ben threat if a. JJ didn't just get beaned by Ava, and b. Ben didn't hold hostage, attempt to set on fire, and beat the crap out of Chad like three times

So great to see the Dimera living room again -- but it's not the same without the portrait!

Let me get this straight.

Brady has a vision of some woman. He asks Fynn. Fynn says it must be Summer.

Brady has a vision of a sign with the name of a psych clinic in California.

Nicole finds a mostly-empty file on "Summer Townsend" in Daniel's office.
(With the clinic name/logo on the front of the file that was the same as the clinic sign Brady saw in his dream).

Brady and Nicole separately fly to California and they find Dario and Summer.

Summer tells Brady that Daniel suspected they might be siblings.
Note:
-There was nothing in the file about this (the file that Nicole found).
-Daniel had never mentioned this to anyone in Salem.
-Brady has no "heart-memory" of Daniel thinking of the mystery woman as a sibling.

The idea of Daniel/Summer being possible siblings was all just something that Summer *claimed* Daniel thought?

Back in Salem, Brady decides he wants to test Summer/Maggie for a DNA match.
BUT ...
It turns out there was a *file* at the Salem hospital showing that Daniel had already tested Summer/Maggie's DNA and they matched?

There is no proof that Daniel actually did this DNA test. Just some file that magically appeared?

Everything points to a scam.
I just don't understand how Deimos or whatever villain could have caused Brady to dream of Summer -- but then again -- Deimos was trying to experiment with getting the "serum" ready for selling -- and Deimos must know the serum gave Caroline visions. So maybe Deimos gave Brady some implanted memories of Summer somehow via the serum or some other way?

{edit to add that I realize this was probably originally written to be a real story and not a scam.
But I'd much prefer that it's scam!}
