SoapOperaFan.com . . . Days Of Our Lives Friday's Summary

On the ground floor of the hospital, Nicole runs around worrying and wishing she could get upstairs. The police tell her they don't know what's going on. Philip brings her coffee to calm her and tells her she's wasting her time worrying about EJ. She says there are other people to worry about as well. He worries about Lucas. She's sure that Chloe will take care of him.

Roman explains the situation to Abe. Neither of them have any idea what's going on. Roman worries that Sami is trapped upstairs. He lists all of the other people trapped up there...including Stefano. Abe laughs it off but Roman is sure that, with Stefano, anything is possible. Lexi sticks her head in to repeat this sentiment. Roman and Abe are clueless about everything else. She explains that her father may have come out of his catatonic state. Roman still doesn't understand how it's possible that Stefano could have engineered this. "One thing that we've learned about DiMera is that nothing is impossible," Abe says. They get out the blueprints and try to find a way in. Philip steps up and asks if the security cameras are working. Not yet. They explain that EJ is trapped up there with Sami. A startled Nicole downplays her concern, but a moment later admits to Lexi that she's surprised he's there with Sami. Lexi is surprised that she has a thing for her poor brother; she thought she only went after men with money. Nicole says other things are important to her as well. Lexi knows she's in a difficult position since EJ is only interested in Sami. Nicole rants about all the misery that Sami causes and how sure she is that EJ is finished with her this time.

On the unlucky seventh floor, John and Tony bicker while they try to get the ventilation system working. Suddenly, Tony begins hallucinating that his father stands before him. As Stefano admonishes him for being a traitor and a failure, Tony grabs a wrench to throttle him. Before he can smash John's head in, Mr. Black grabs the wrench away. "Not a good way to start our new relationship," John says. Tony runs off and finds Anna unconscious down the hall. He kisses her and begs her to wake up. Her eyes open. She tells him that Stefano came after her and she passed out. He fills her in on his hallucinations.

John continues to fiddle with the wiring. "I think the jet was easier," he mumbles. Stefano's voice comes through the intercom. He tells John that he has been a very bad soldier. John insists that he has never been his pawn. "But you were and you will be again very soon," Stefano says. He admits that there was a glitch in John's programming this time but they can reboot him and get it right. "You will belong to me again. This time, forever," Stefano says. "C'mon Steffy! What are you doing to me? I'm your bother?" John tsks. Stefano hasn't been feeling the love. Neither does John. Stefano is sure that part of the old John is still in there and has to be destroyed. John refuses to ever be taken back into "the chair" again. He smashes the intercom when Tony returns and asks what's happening. John isn't in the mood to explain. Tony tells him that he thought he was Stefano and that's the only reason he tried to attack him before. John grimaces and goes back to work.

Down the hall, the paralysed Marlena lies in bed trying to find a way to get the antidote sitting by her feet. She tries to will herself to move. Her fingers twitch. Anna bursts in and starts to babble before noticing Marlena's oxygen mask is off. She replaces it and tells her how crazy everything has been. Marlena tries motioning to the syringe with her eyebrows. Anna doesn't know how to interpret this and runs off for help. She returns to Tony and John and promptly collapses on the floor. Tony collapses on top of her. John keeps working. Meanwhile, a bright light dawns on Marlena. "You?" she groans.

In the lab, Kayla and Steve can barely stay conscious. As the baby cries, Kayla crawls to the door and calls for help before collapsing. When they are safely out cold, Stefano walks in and looks down at the crying baby. Later, Steve grunts and wakes up. After helping Kayla off the floor, they're shocked to see that the baby is gone. She runs to the door and begins to bang, but it's locked once again.

EJ searches for Sami in the stairwell. Believing he's Stefano, she trips him and he falls down the stairs. Realizing what she just did, she runs to his side and tries to wake him. She cries and pulls at his shirt, begging him to be okay so he can help her out. After deciding to think, she tears his shirt open and continues crying and apologizing. "My life won't be the same without you," she weeps. His eyes open. She explains that she thought he was Stefano and he was saying creepy things to her. He insists that it's only been him. She apologizes again. He asks her if she really meant it when she said she couldn't imagine her life without him. She doesn't think this is the time for this conversation. He insists, demanding an explanation. Lucas dropped her like a "hot potato" and she desperately tried to get back with him, ignoring everything else, she explains. She flashes back to licking his navel and says that night changed everything, even if it was a mistake. She can't change the way she feels about him. He thanks her for admitting this. She looks for a way out and starts crying again. She worries and weeps again. "Stop, stop, stop," he says, trying to comfort her. "You can't keep saying that!" she gasps. After calming down, she explains that Lucas doesn't want her so she has to move on. He asks her if that's why she has feelings for him. She's confused and meanders through an excuse, unable to make any promises. That's more than he ever expected. He kisses her forehead. They cuddle.

The IT guy arrives downstairs and begins to set up the surveillance feeds so that they can see upstairs. As the camera feed comes in, Nicole spots EJ and Sami making out on the floor. The signal is suddenly lost. Roman gets a call that someone is trying to activate the emergency ventilation system. "Doesn't look good," he grumbles.
