SWEET REVENGE

Ciara sits in the Kiriakis living room coloring. Hope walks in. "Ciara, why are you coloring when you're supposed to be cleaning your room." Hope asks. "Henderson already did." Ciara says. Henderson walks in with some milk and cookies for Ciara. "Here you go Miss Ciara." Henderson says. He places the tray on the table for her. Ciara looks up at him. "Thank you Henderson." She says with a smile. "You're welcome Miss Ciara." Henderson says. He walks away. Ciara grabs a cookie and is about to dunk it in the milk when Hope stops her by grabbing her hand. "Why did you do that for?" Ciara yells.

Sami and Alex are laughing and having a great time at the Pub. Lucas walks in and sees them together. He walks over. "I thought you were going back to Chicago." Lucas interrupts. Alex and Sami look up at him. "Lucas Horton, you again?" Alex answers. "You two know each other?" Sami asks. "Yeah he offered me a job so he could hit on me." Alex says. "No I didn't." Lucas protests. Alex stands up and gets in his face. "Yes you did and I turned him down." Alex turns to Sami then back to Lucas. "This is the girl you were talking about?" Sami asks Lucas. "You were talking about me to another woman?" Alex asks. "Were you trying to get with her too?" "I've already had her, married her, and have two kids with her." Lucas says. "You married this loser?" Alex asks facing Sami and pointing at Lucas. Sami tries to speak, but Lucas jumps in. "I'm not a loser." Lucas shouts. "Maybe you are." Alex looks at Lucas pissed.

"What just happened here?" Arianna asks Rafe. "EJ and Nicole kissed." Rafe says. "Why would he kiss that baby stealing tramp?" Arianna asks. "She's nothing but a cheap whore. After everything she's done to him and Sami and he still kisses her." Rafe looks at Arianna confused. He shakes his head. "EJ just did that to shut Nicole up." Rafe clarifies. "I know that." Arianna says. She rubs the back of her neck and turns away from Rafe. "I wonder what Nicole has on EJ to have him running scared." Rafe wonders. Arianna turns back to him. "Maybe she's just bluffing." Arianna says. "Just so she can get EJ to back off of her." "She knows something and I want to know what that something is." Rafe says.

EJ and Nicole walk onto the pier. EJ looks around then faces Nicole. "You need to shut your mouth." EJ says. "What the next time we kiss?" Nicole jokes. "No, about this silly tape." EJ says. "So you just kissed me to keep my mouth shut?" Nicole asks. "Well it worked didn't it?" EJ says. "It did for…the moment, but I'm just getting started." Nicole replies. "I'm going to find out what's on that tape and I'm going to use it to get you to back off of me." "Oh really?" EJ laughs. "Good luck finding out what's on the tape that doesn't exist." "The tape does exist and I'm going to find it." Nicole threatens. "And if you still want to tell on me then we'll both go down." Nicole walks closer to EJ and brushes her hands over EJ's arms. She moves in for a kiss.

"You don't deserve your cookies and milk." Hope tells. "You didn't clean your room." Ciara stomps her feet. "You've been bad too mommy." Ciara says angrily. Justin walks in. "Justin" Ciara says with a smile as she rushes over to him. She jumps in his arms. "Hey Ciara" Justin says he looks over to Hope. "What's going on here?" Justin puts her down. Ciara looks at him. "Mommy won't let me have milk and cookies." Ciara says. "She was supposed to clean her room, but Henderson did it." Hope says. Ciara looks at Hope. "I'm going to my room." She says. She rushes upstairs. "Ciara." Hope calls. Justin stops her. "Maybe you should give her time." Justin suggests. "Oh so now you're her parent?" Hope asks. She brushes past Justin and heads upstairs. "Hope" Justin calls out. "I'm going to bed." She yells down to him.

"I'm not a loser. I can get a date without offering the person a job just to get them in the same room as me. " Alex jokes. "Oh you have jokes now." Lucas smiles. Sami tries not to laugh. "Yep. Pick any guy in here and I bet I can get him to date me." Alex says. Lucas looks around the Pub. Brady walks into the Pub. Lucas looks at Brady and smiles. He turns back to Alex. "Okay, that guy over there by the door." Lucas says pointing to Brady. "Watch and learn." Alex says. She tosses her hair then walks towards Brady. Sami turns and looks. Sami tries to stop Alex, but Lucas stops her. "Good luck" He tells Alex. "Lucas, you know she's going to crash and burn." Sami says. "It's what she deserves." Lucas says with a smile. Alex walks up to Brady. "Hi." She says. "Hi." Brady says. "So I saw you from over there and thought maybe we could go out some time." She asks Brady. "I'm sorry, but I'm taken." Brady tells her. "Oh well um can you just pretend that you'll go out with me for this idiot standing behind me?" Alex asks. Brady looks over at Lucas and Sami. "Are you talking about him?" Brady asks. Alex turns around. "Yeah that's him the jerk." She replies. "Hey Brady.." Lucas yells and waves."Hey Lucas…" Brady says. Brady's phone rings. "Sorry, but I have to go." Brady says look at his id. "Nice meeting you though…um…" "I'm Alex." Alex says pissed off. "Nice to meet you Alex…" Brady says before walking out the door. Alex turns around and gives Lucas a dirty look who's laughing at her. Sami smirks off to the side.

"Rafe, just forget about Nicole." Arianna says. "She's just up to no good." Rafe looks at Arianna. "Maybe you're right." Rafe admits. The guard walks in. "Visiting time is over." He says then leaves. "Alright Ari, I'll see you at your arraignment tomorrow." Rafe tells her. "Okay Rafe, see you then." Arianna says. They give each other a little smile then Rafe turns to leave. Arianna stops him. "Wait Rafe…" Arianna says. Rafe turns around. "Just promise me you'll stay away from Nicole and let EJ do his job?" Arianna asks. "Sure" Rafe says. He turns and walks away. "I mean it Rafael Hernandez" Arianna shouts. "EJ and Nicole better watch out." Arianna says to herself.

EJ and Nicole stare into each other's eyes. Just as they were about to kiss again Rafe interrupts. "You two are at it again." Rafe says. EJ and Nicole clear their throats then turn to face Rafe. "We were in the middle of something." EJ says. "I see." Rafe says. "Well then keep it moving Agent Hernandez." Nicole adds. "I am. I just wanted to say hi." Rafe says with a smile then walks away. "Great, now you have Rafe on my tail." EJ says. "I thought you weren't hiding anything." Nicole reminds him. "I don't" EJ says quickly. "You said that quickly." Nicole points out. "Can we please just end this? I have to get a good night's rest so that I can get my client off tomorrow." EJ says. "Okay for now you can go, but I'm done with you yet." Nicole says. They smile at one another. EJ starts to walk off, but Nicole stops him. "I wonder where Rafe is going." Nicole says. EJ stops. He turns to face her. "I bet he and Sami are going to make up for lost time." Nicole starts. "Kissing, touching, making love all over the penthouse and he didn't even have to bring you down to get Sami back." EJ looks pissed at Nicole. "Well Rafe will never have Samantha or my kids and I made sure of that." EJ yells. "And how did you do that?" Nicole asks. She looks at EJ. EJ looks back at her. "Oh my gosh." Nicole says. "You had something to do with Anna kidnapping Sydney, didn't you?" Nicole asks. "What? Where did that come from?" EJ laughs. "You just said that Rafe will never have Samantha or my kids and I made sure of that." Nicole repeats. "Rafe and Sami broke up over Sydney's kidnapping." "And how do you know this? You were in prison." EJ reminds her. "Chloe gave me all the dirt while I was locked up." Nicole informs him. "When Rafe left town problem to find Anna since he figured out that Anna kidnapped Sydney thanks to moi. Sami moved in with you." EJ looks at Nicole. "Oh my gosh, you had Anna kidnap Sydney." Nicole says. EJ freezes.

Ciara comes back downstairs; Justin is on the couch looking through some papers. "Uncle Justin." She says. He looks over at her. "Hey Ciara." He says excitedly. "Where's mommy?" She asks worriedly. "She went to get some sleep." He tells her. "I bet she did." Ciara says. Justin looks at her confusingly. Upstairs, Hope takes a few pills then gets into bed. She closes her eyes. A few seconds later she opens them then heads into her closet. She looks at her clothes then finds a black outfit. "Perfect." She says she takes it off the rack then walks back into her room. "Tonight is the night." She says with a smile.

Alex walks over to Lucas and Sami. "You knew he was taken, didn't you?" Alex asks. "Yeah I did." Lucas admits. "You jerk." She responds. "I'm out of here." Alex grabs her things. "Nice meeting you Sami." Alex tells Sami. She gives Lucas one more dirty look before she leaves. Lucas and Sami watch her leave. Sami turns to Lucas and punches him in the arm. "Ouch." Lucas says. He rubs his arm. "Why were you so mean to Alex when you're crazy about her?" Sami asks. "I did like her, but now I don't." Lucas admits. "Yeah right you have the hots for her." Sami smiles. Rafe walks in. Lucas sees, but Sami doesn't. "Just admit it. You still want her." Sami giggles. "Okay, I'll admit it when you admit you still want Rafe." Lucas says looking at Rafe who's moved closer to Sami. "Okay, yes I do want Rafe. I love him and I'd be crazy to not want to be with such a wonderful guy like him. He means everything to me. I just wish I could say it to him and for him to feel the same way." Sami admits. "I feel the same way too." Rafe says. Sami jumps. She slowly turns around to see Rafe smiling at her. She smiles back. "And I'm out." Lucas says. "You're not off the hook Lucas Horton." Sami shouts to him. Rafe and Sami smile at one another.
