Days 1/25: Cariclaudison
Kate has giant, poofy hair and a ridiculous blue streak from her left temple. She's still oblivious to Sammi's spying and introduces a stylist who wears a douchechill scarf.
Carrie and Austin make plans to have their date at the new Indian restaurant. She leaves, and Abigail shows up, who is someone's daughter. Jack and Jen's maybe? either way, I totally called it that Austin is up to no good with a co-ed, and they decide to have coffee.
Marlena and Will chat. He doesn't want to hear about stuff his mom is doing, and she says she loves talking to him, and whatever he does, as long as it doesn't hurt him, she's all for it.
Victor and Maggie are together? She is making him oatmeal muffins? weird. whatever. Some young man shows up to talk about leaving Titan. I'm sure he was 4 the last time I watched, so I'll just have to figure out who he is now.
CarlyClaudia lives here now? She's on the phone with someone dicussing Titan.
Rafe comes home and is surprised Sammi is still there. She's surprised he came back. He forgot his phone. She doesn't like the way they left things. He doesn't like that she and Madison are doing corporate espionage against Kate. He asks her not to mess with the DiMera's. She wants to find a way to make things right between them. oh,,,, carlyclaudia must be Madison, as in Mad World? That makes sense.
sweeping flourish of music, hour glass, sand
Sammi argues that they need the paycheck, and she loves working with Madison. He's miffed that she kept a secret. She apologizes for not being perfect like him, and doesn't save the world. "I'm a little more grounded, taking care of my kids, finding a way to pay the mortgage." She doesn't want to grovel to EJ and Lucas for child support. He asks her to leave her job if she wants to make it right. She won't do that. He poutily says they'll have to agree to disagree. She wants him to understand. He scoffs that he doesn't.
Will is pleased to not have to defend working for EJ. Marlena laughs, and says he'll have to trust himself. She knows who he is inside. He has to respect himself to be happy inside and believe in his integrity.
Ah, young man hanging out with Victor and Maggie is a Brady recast, and he's dating Madison. that's weird, since according to Robert Guza, she's old enough to have a 31 year old son. Victor wants Madison to work for Titan. Madison has made her decision.
Commercials
Madison flatters Victor and Brady by lauding all they've done to make Titan so powerful. She's appreciates the offer, but she turns it down.
Will says he has reasons to work for EJ and to be angry with Sammi. Marlena says she wasn't talking about this. Some kid called Sully stops by. He's gotten some new job and wants Will's help in designing a logo. Will looks at the paperwork but says he's busy today. Will pulls Sully aside and says he's busy with the mayor's campaign, and he's going to be too busy basically forever. Sully wonders if Will doesn't like his friends. Will insists that's not it. Marlena's wheels are turning, and she's concerned.
Brady and Victor pout about Madison's answer.
Photo shoot: Two of the models chat about their model job. He thinks Will is a jerk for letting her get away. Sammi shows up and thinks Young Models look great. Kate congratulates Sammi for fidning the best people. photo shoot ensues.
Carrie is elated b/c she's landed a new client. Rafe comes in still pouting. She says she's going to make his day. (in bed)
commercials
Marlena tries to read lips while Will continues to tell Sully he doesn't have time to hang out with him and his friends. oh, are they dating? also, I think his name is Sonny, not Sully.
Austin apologizes for having to cancel their dinner the previous night. She shrugs b/c his wife was free afterall. He cries in his coffee that she wasn't free. She tells him to call her next time he ends up being free.
Carrie has found information that will clear a fireman who was suspected of wrongdoing. something like that. It's all very Save the Worldy and noble, is the point, and deepens Rafe's funk. but Carrie's beautiful smile causes him to say nothing is wrong.
photo shoot continues.
Brady asks Madison if she's sure. Victor pouts, and Maggie comforts him. Maggie says that Madison is always welcome here, regardless of her decision. Madison thanks Victor again, but he's got to get busy finding a new CEO for Titan. Madison feels uncomfortable and wants to leave. Brady wants to know what's really going on.
commercials
Abigail left a message for Austin about some good news. He's all creepy old man "cool, cool, what's up." She's elated that she got an internship at Mad World. He hugs her and offers her brunch at Chez Rouge. She says it's only open for dinner, and she's happy with just a muffin. She has a giant crush on him. He goes to get her muffin. I mean, get a muffin for her.
They decide to visit the DA to get more info. She puts on her coat, and he helps her, and then they have eye sex before leaving.
photo shoot ends with the models scantily clad and sprayed with gel and water. Kate and Sammi offer a cacophony of praise. Kate is pleased with her choice to take a leap of faith and hire Sammi away from Madison. Sammi seems to love working with Kate. Why is she betraying her, then? oh, right, because she's Sammi
Brady doesn't get why Madison would use a mole to get bits and pieces from Kate, but she turns down a chance to run the whole tamale. She trusts her business instincts, and her decision is final. She tells him his support means everything to her, and they kiss. She holds him like she's going to lose him.
commercials
Marlena tries to get info about why Will won't work with Sonny. Marlena doesn't like the idea of Will not having time for his friends. He wants to drop it, but she won't.
Abigail worries she's been a sourpuss lately b/c of a break up. he stops her and says he loves spending time with her. "I love spending time with you, too, Austin." trubble.
Carrie and Rafe are already back from the meep moop parts of their business. They fight crime? solve crimes? are they PI's? whatever, they are totally going to do it, so the exposition is irrelevant.
What is this outdoor location with the indoor sofas and fireplaces? It's very nice, but not practical if it rains. or gets cold.
Madison calls Sammi for a scoop. Sammi tells Madison that Chad and Gabby are surprisingly perfect models and did way better than she thought they would. Oh, so Sammi's super secret spy plan was to hire two gorgeous teenagers and then just hope they weren't photogenic? Wow, that's pretty week, Samster. Madison is pissed b/c Sammi's job was to delay Kate's line until Mad World could launch theirs. Sammi doesn't know what to do b/c the photo shoot is over, and the phots are amazing. Also, it's not like Sammi did anything during the photo shoot to sabatage it. Sammi totally sucks as a sabateur, y'all. Kate walks in and asks what's going on.
commercials
Sammi lies that she was letting a stylist know they didn't need more clothes b/c the photo shoot is over. Kate lauds Sammi some more for a job well done and thinks Madison will hate how well it went.
Victor steams over Madison's refusal. She had seemed so excited about the prospect, and he can't figure out why the 180.
Brady continues to ask Madison what she's not telling him. She's doing a terrible job of hiding that she thinks the world just ended. I think Madison may not be all that bright.
Marlena tells Will that if she sees him suffering or in pain, she wants to help. His eyes fill with tears, and he tells her that he's neither. She thinks he needs someone who he can trust and who loves him. He thanks her, but he scurries away, past that Chad and Gabby from the photo shoot.
Sammi calls Rafe and asks if he's still mad. He says he hasn't changed his position, but he's waiting for an important phone call. He cuts her short. Carrie asks if he's fighting with Sammi. Then he gets a call that arson charges were dropped against our hero. World: Saved! Carrie and Rafe hug, and then make sweet, sweet eye sex.
commercials
Will sadly walks into Outdoor Living Room Area and looks at the plans that Sonny gave him. He's very sad about them. So he's either in love with Sonny, or he can't read. The former is certainly more interesting than the latter.
Maggie tells Victor she thinks Madison made her decision for personal reasons. She thinks Madison is ready to quit working and hang out with a boy all the time. She thinks it's baby making, wife being time for Madison. Oh, Maggie, you're so cute.
Madison says all that's going on is she cares about Brady. Brady says she ticked off Victor, but he's behind her no matter what. They agree to meet later. Brady leaves, and Madison puts on that sucked in , backed against the wall face. Madison calls someone and says she turned down Victor's job offer like she was asked, and it wasn't easy b/c it was a great opportunity. She says she's trusting Whoever.
Sammi considers deleting the photo shoot proofs, but Kate shows up and whisks her away to do more work.
Carrie and Rafe pull away, and he leaves, and she wonders why she's stuck married to an old perve with a busted face instead of Luis...er,...Rafe.
the end
O.K....so the not so secret scoop about Will is he use to date Gabby (who is Rafe's sister) and was never really into her...wink, wink, nudge, nudge. We were always speculating. Enter the scene Sonny, who is back in town and recently out of the closet. A few shows ago some of Sonny's friends were asking Will if he had been to such and such club....assuming he also was gay. We have had our suspicions for the past two years...so who knows, maybe Stephano just put some salt-peter in his juice.
How happy am I that you are taking a liking to this silly show!!! Thanks.
