Trent and Nicole's secret is finally out. Trent finally revealed his true connection to Nicole. They are still married. I don't know about you, but I am glad that this secret is finally out. Trent is still too new to have a lingering secret. I was hoping that the writers wouldn't take the rest of the year to reveal their connection.
Marlena confronted EJ. Marlena confronted EJ about what he did to Sami. I am glad that she finally did that because now she knows that EJ hasn't changed. I was waiting for someone other than John to confront EJ about his actions. This confrontation might actually lead to a story between them since Marlena threatened EJ. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
Daniel ripped into Chelsea and Kate. Chelsea and Kate refused to listen to Daniel when he told them not to disturb Victor. Needless to say, Daniel was upset with them and he went off on them. I loved it. They got what they deserved because they should have listened to his instructions. Kate's actions made Daniel's reaction justified. You can read about that in the Bad section. Anyway, what made Daniel's reaction even sweeter was the way Chelsea felt about it. Chelsea saw a less than perfect side of Daniel and she couldn't handle it. Chelsea expected Daniel to remain the knight in shining armor that she wants. Maybe now she will regret dumping Nick for him.
Bo told Hope the truth. Bo told Hope that he tampered with evidence. I am so happy that Bo did that. I wish he had told her when she asked him about it before, but he did it. I was afraid that Bo would have kept that to himself until he was caught. I remember what happened the last time he protected a relative and he and Hope broke up. I think Bo did the right thing by telling Hope the truth. Maybe she will stay by his side this time instead of leaving him again.

Kate stressed Victor out. For some reason, Kate chose to tell Victor about Philip getting shot. Victor ended up flat lining. Luckily, Daniel was able to revive Victor. I can see why Daniel was upset with her. What on earth was Kate thinking? She knows that Victor's stroke was serious so why would she tell him something like that? That was so stupid. Is she that selfish that she wanted him to worry too? Doesn't Victor have enough to worry about without having to worry about Philip's health too?
John had sex with Ava again. I grew up watching the supercouples on the show so I want to see them together. With that said, I don't want to see John with Ava. I don't think they have any chemistry with each other. I'm actually ready to hit the fast forward button whenever they are together. I know that supercouples need turmoil to keep things interesting, but John and Marlena have been apart long enough. Luckily, Ava's stint is coming to an end soon so maybe John and Marlena will reunite soon. I just hope that Ava doesn't end up getting pregnant.
How many times does Sami have to apologize to Lucas? I know Sami messed up by having sex with EJ, but how long does she have to pay for it? How many ways can Sami tell Lucas that she's sorry? Is she going to have to invest in kneepads so that she can get on the floor and beg for Lucas' forgiveness? Since Lucas had sex with Chloe, they are even. There is no reason why Lucas should still be so unforgiving about that. Sami and Lucas have been through enough for him not to be able to forgive her now.
Ugly
Max and Stephanie's scenes in France. I thought that their scenes were really boring. In my opinion, Max and Stephanie are already boring so the last thing they needed was to be in an isolated storyline. Max and Stephanie are in France to look for his sister, Melanie, but I couldn't care less about it. The worst thing the writers could do was have their story take place out of Salem. They are not interacting with the other main characters who might have made this story more interesting. Instead, they chose to have them interact with strangers. I hope that the writers will wrap this story up soon.
The writers want us to root for Ejami and Chucas. I think the writers are trying to get us to root for these couples. Here are some signs: Lucas won't forgive Sami, Nicole can't be with EJ, and Chloe is giving up on Philip. I don't like this. I would prefer to see Lumi together and Phloe together. I'm sure that Sami will try to get back together with EJ now that Lucas wants space. Lucas is out of prison for good now since he helped Roman on a special case. He told Sami while he was recuperating at the hospital that he needed his space from her. We all know what that means. Sami will go back to EJ. He will start looking better to her now. She will forget what he's done. Chloe also chose to practically give Morgan her blessing to be with Philip. She will end up going after Lucas. I think this is a bad idea and I hope that the writers will come to their senses soon.
"Ejami and Chucas"? Strange names for another article?
