We open the week with Belle finding out that Willow is living with Shawn. Does Shawn tell Belle? Nope, Willow bursts into the apartment before Shawn gets a word out. She does her best to let Belle know that she’s living there, including showing Belle the bedroom, where she and Shawn get it on. Belle gets teary-eyed and takes off. Shawn gets angry at Willow for being the bipolar psycho that she is. She whines about them being good at laughing together and getting in bed and what a great relationship that is, and Shawn counters with ha ha’s and nookie don’t make a relationship. Wow, our little Shawn D. is all grown up! Shawn leaves Willow at the apartment and goes looking for Belle.
Claire, as usual, is being taken care of by someone other than her mother and father. This is truly a Brady tradition – think about Shawn, he was pretty much raised by Caroline and Shawn the Elder. Sami spent more time at the Brady Fish Market/Pub than she did at her own house. Claire’s proud grandparents Bo and Hope are watching the little darling this time. During this, Bo decides he can’t live with Hope if she believes he smacked around Patrick. Bo packs that sad black duffle bag with all of his worldly possessions (I like to think that consists of a plaid flannel shirt, a picture of his motorcycle, and puffy Cheetos) and heads for the door. Hope doesn’t want him to go and convinces him that she believes his side of the story after talking to Patrick.
Belle eventually shows up to get her child and breaks down, crying that Shawn is shacked up with his “live-in hooker”. Shawn shows up and the fight over Willow continues. In the heat of battle, Shawn admits that he misses Belle and Belle admits to hearing him share with Mimi through the air vents and being jealous. This all leads to the big question: Sean, are you in love with Willow. Sean answers “no” and tells Belle he’ll prove it by making Willow move out.
Meanwhile in Northern Italy (I know it’s Northern Italy because I am constantly told at the bottom of my screen that it’s Northern Italy), John <snort> Black and Marlena decide the best way to spend their honeymoon is by going to the graveyard looking for a dead Stefano DiMera. Dressed in their finest black clothes, they bust into the DiMera crypt, where John decides that he can move the stone lid of Stefano’s huge tomb with his hands. Finally he uses that thing between his ears and gets a crowbar to open the lid. Uh-oh, here comes the cemetery guard. John and Marlena hide behind the tomb, but John realizes he left his man purse out in the open. The guard shines a flashlight in the crypt, which conveniently misses the huge purse. John and Marlena escape yet again! Back to robbing graves. Sure enough, there’s no Stefano in the tomb. John decides that leaving the tomb lid open will let the DiMera family know he’s on to them, but he doesn’t stop there. In the man purse there is a thick Sharpie, which he uses to write “John Black was here”. He also wrote “for a good time call Bo Brady” with phone number and “DiMeras Suck!”. Add “tagger” to John’s impressive list of job skills. As John and Marlena leave, we get to see the DiMera lackey, Rico, pop out from the bushes outside the crypt and make a cell call to EJ to tell him things didn’t go as planned. John and Marlena go back to the honeymoon room to make love, and Rico isn’t far behind.
Patch and Kayla are still at the Liberace Resort and Spa when Patch starts to remember his past. He freaks out, thinking Victor Kuriakis is after them and starts banging on the bathroom door. Inside, Kayla is still recovering from Patch’s confession that he didn’t remember her, or from the horrid decorations, you decide. Kayla finally lets him in and Patch starts flashing back to the Days episodes from the 80’s – Kayla in sweaters with big shoulder pads, Patch and Kayla eating, Patch and Kayla playing Ms. Pac Man, Patch and Kayla breakdancing, and so on. Finally, Patch comes out of the montage saying he remembers everything about his past with Kayla. Kayla refuses to believe Patch is remembering, even though he’s coming up with random memories about hayrides and lavender soap. She runs out of the room crying, and Patch goes after her. After a few commercial breaks, Kayla runs back to the room with Patch close behind. He’s still trying to win her over with lines like “look into my eye. I’m real, sweetness”. Patch finally convinces her that he’s not lying by doing something I remember him doing quite well in the 80’s. Back in the day when Benji (the deaf kid they adopted) was around, Patch and Kayla were constantly signing the word “courage” to him. Patch clenches his hands and does the sign for “courage”, and she swoons and they make love among the knick-knacks.
No Days episode is complete without a scene at Chez Rouge. Nick is shoveling tiramisu in his mouth while Abby pretends to not notice. Chelsea comes in and sits down at their table and asks for help finding someone. She has a picture of the guy she thinks is “lonely splicer”, her internet chat soulmate. Nick chokes on those yummy espresso-soaked lady fingers (tiramisu rocks!). Nick had sent the picture of his doctor boss to cover up his own identity, as he knows if he sent a picture of himself, Chelsea would lose her lunch and probably run him over like she did Zach. Abby, knowing that Nick is the real “lonely splicer”, tries to get Chelsea to drop the whole thing. In comes Billie, echoing Abby’s objections to the search.
So what do you think? Will Shawn get nookie ever again? Will Claire wind up in therapy the rest of her life? Should Patch and Kayla fire their travel agent?
