SoapOperaFan.com . . . Days of Our Lives Tuesday's Summary

In Nicole's fantasy world, Lucas thinks that Chloe is one hot tomato and one he could count on, not like his two timing wife. Seeing her smooching Philly K at the club hurts him even more than his wife's betrayal. Lucas interrupts them and tells Chloe that what she does on her own time is her business. Philip is defensive. Chloe says she doesn't fool around with married men, but insists that what he's walked in on, isn't what he thinks. Lucas strolls out. Chloe is ready to run after him. Philip holds her back. She tells him that she loves Mr. Horton. He can tell just from looking at them that they're in love; if she wants to run after him and make a fool of herself, she can go ahead, but he can give her what Lucas can't. If she leaves him now, she'll be leaving her new career behind and end up eating soup at the mission. She doesn't want that. He tells her to get changed into something tight and low for the show.

"How many times do I have to kill you before you really croak?!" Nicole shouts as she suffocates Sami. Once Sami stops kicking, Nicole hopes she's dead because killing her is exhausting. "I look better than you ever did," she says, looking in the mirror after she climbs off the stiff. The front door opens. EJ strolls in looking for Sami. Nicole ruins his expectations. She thought he was going out of town. He forgot something. "Your mistress?" she asks, telling him that his floozy won't be showing up. He won't deny it. He loves Nicky, but this is the man he is and the man he's always been. "I just can't stay faithful," he admits. She offers to learn anything for him to please him. He tells her that he's a no-good grifter and any woman he picks up, he will cheat on. "Then it was all for nothing..." she sadly says. He guesses Sami must have been there, so what did she do to her? She would do anything if she thought it meant getting him back. He says she's too classy for him. He strolls back out, leaving her with a body on the floor.

Lucas goes back to his office to get drunk before he starts thinking about what to do with his life. His plans are interrupted when Nicole calls to confess that she "took care of her". He's not following so she asks him over to see for himself. She waits and files her nails. He arrives. When he walks in, she asks him if he likes the bedroom. He asks if she is playing tit for tat. Pouring a drink, she tells him he won't be happy with her. Lucas grabs her and demands to see his wife. Nicole points at the lump on the floor with her shoe. "I'm not taking the rap for this," he says as he checks the corpse. She's sure that he'll be the prime suspect and could easily get life for this so she wants his help. She didn't plan to kill Sami, but she gave her too much lip. Lucas doesn't want to dump his wife in an alley; even she deserves better. Whipping out his gun, he tells her to shut her trap. She compliments his gun and challenges him to snuff her, but he won't put a hole in a dame even if she deserves it. Handing her a gun with the serial number removed, he tells her to do what she has to and walks out.

At the club, Chloe sings while Philip listens. He tells her she really poured her heart into that one but could have just faked it. She wonders if he is going to wait before trying to take advantage of her. He's not that kind of guy and won't fire her; the customers like her after all. She sits down and agrees to his offer. He suggests that she needs to find a way to move on and forget about Lucas. "It won't be easy," she pouts, and she doesn't want to be alone. They kiss. He breaks away. He wants her to want him and won't play second banana to her old boss. "You're a better lug than I gave you credit for," she says. Standing up, she announces that she has to find Lucas. Ripping up her music sheet, she tells Philip that his customers deserve better. He tells her to go for it. "You're a good egg Mr. K!" she says, kissing his cheek and scurrying off.

EJ walks into the club. He sits with Philip at the bar and they drink. He tells Philly that something must have happened to the piece of skirt he was in there with before. Nicole walks in. EJ reminds her that they're through. Philip leaves them alone. Nicole sips her Manhattan and tells him that she killed his mistress. He laughs and doesn't believe it. "I'm crazy for you lover!" she exclaims. Sami's dead and the only thing that matters is that they're together now. He says that will never happen. She takes out the gun and announces that she will kill them both. "You and me, back in bed or dead?" she challenges. He tells her that she was taking him for granted. Calming her with a lot of promises, he takes the gun and places it on the bar. No one's ever loved him enough to kill for him. He asks her what she did with the body. She dumped it in the trash. He tells her that she needs to go on the lam and they run off, leaving the gun behind.

Chloe looks for Lucas in his office. He's gone and so, she imagines, is any chance she's had with him. Leaning over, she peers out the window. Lucas catches her and guesses she is about to jump. As he pulls her out, she explains that she was just trying to get some air. He'd rather listen to anyone's problems but his own right now. He pours her a drink and she tells him she quit her job. She had everything while she was working for Philly K... everything but Lucas. That's music to his ears. He plants one on her. "But what about your wife?" she asks. He tells her that she's dead and he blew the whistle on Nicole. Chloe's sure that everything will work out for them now. He just wants a fresh start with someone he can trust, someone like her.

Nicole and EJ go home to pack. He swears it will just be the two of them forever. She tells him to prove it. They fall on the bed. Before she can pull his shirt off, there's a knock at the door. Roman and Abe burst in and tell her she's going away, but it won't be on vacation. She plays dumb. They don't buy it; they know that Sami is stone cold dead and she's the one who iced her. "You're done toots," Roman says. They cuff her. EJ smokes. She asks him to wait for her. "Sorry doll face, I'm not that guy," he says. Roman tells her she's going to the chair. They drag her out. EJ swipes her remaining cash. Back in reality, Nicole wonders if EJ could really love her if Sami was out of the picture. "I can't even get EJ in my own imagination," she says, running off to find out what's going on at the hospital.
