Oh, look, the mansion does have an upstairs after all. And I like Sami’s room too. Not my style, but it’s classy like it should be.



You go, Sami! Take off that chain! The only man who can control you is EJ.



Dude, my fast forward and mute buttons so didn’t miss you.



You know, times like this are when those psychic couple connections would really come in handy.



There’s a devil waitin’ outside your door



“We were just acting crazy and stupid.” Neither crazy nor stupid to kiss the best guy on the show.



“I'm not talking about our kiss. I'm talking about our conversation. I think before anything else happens between us, I need to know why it is that you want to wipe the slate clean.” Oh, yes. Let’s discuss!
“Samantha, you're afraid that if you give this a chance, it might actually work out.” Yup. That’s been her issue all along. She doesn’t think she deserves to be happy.



“I guess you could say that I...forced myself on him. I put a drug in his drink.”
“And I remember feeling so...justified. I felt so sure that after we made love, he would realize that I was the one he wanted to be with.”
“Anyway, Austin...he eventually forgave me. So what kind of person would I be if I couldn't forgive you?” I was pleasantly surprised Days went here as I’ve wanted this type of exploration all along, and approaching that night from another angle is a great idea. Sami is not Carrie or Belle. She is not a good girl. She is a bad girl, and she should be with a bad boy like EJ. Only bad people would come up with ideas like these and follow through with them.
“I'll tell you out of all of this, I never expected that we'd end up having something in common.” I know, EJ. Few other couples could talk about their previous adult trades as foreplay.



“Look, we both want to move on, right?” Yes, we do, show!
“We both learned a lot since then” I don’t think either of you two learned anything, but let’s go with that anyway and pretend you did.
“And so I say we strike a deal.” Of course. Ejami loves quid pro quo.
“I will never talk about that night again.” Sweet!
“Neither will I.” Awesome! Thank you, Days!



“If I had, would it have worked?” Um, you are, EJ, and yes, it’s totally working.
“Do you really think she's gonna try and come between us?” That is your plan, after all.
“Samantha, I'm pretty wise to Nicole, all right? She doesn't mean anything to me.” Exactly, a means to an end in order to win your Samantha.
“I've seen her work her magic on Lucas...and Austin. They both fell for it.” Sami, neither Lucas nor Dallas are evil masterminds like Mr. DiMera here.
“Look, I'm not gonna be played by Nicole. The only person I'm worried about being played by right now is you.” Deny and turn it around right back at her. Damn, you are good Evil EJ.



“I'm being as honest with you as I know how to be.” Well, you’re being as honest as you can be with her in order not to ruin your evil plan to make her yours. So almost the same thing, but not quite.
“Nicole didn't make me do anything.” Of course not. That’s EJ.
“I wanted it to happen again.” He is the hotness, is he not?
“There's no Nicole, and there's no more curiosity. It's just the two of us. So whatever happens now is up to you.” That’s right. You keep giving her the illusion of control and she’ll follow the path you’ve set for her.



Honestly, this scared me a bit. That’s too close, director.



Now that’s better. Aw, Ejami kissing.



“How was it this time? Wait. Are you sure you want to do this?”
“Promise me something, EJ.”
“Anything.”
“That you won't ask me that again.” Hard to pull off both lovely and fitting, but this is it.



I loved the sinister music here. Hello, evil supercouple!

Grade: A. If the show was written this well all the time, Days wouldn’t have the reputation it does. Bravo, writers. Excellent job. EJ’s plan is working.

Local Salem Commercial Break

Ah, summertime, and you know what that means, sweetheart. After all, as the temperature rises, so does the crime rate, and neither your minions nor your victims intimidate themselves, do they?



Yet strangling someone effectively can be an intimidating endeavor. You may think that you don’t have the upper body strength to effectively choke someone. Or you may believe it would take years to hone the proper technique. Say no more. Between freeing hardened criminals, running my own criminal empire and Used Vehicle Emporium, manipulating my other four personalities, taking care of the twins, and controlling my beloved Samantha, I, Evil EJ, am pressed for time as well. That’s why I’ve consolidated my throttling moves into a simple routine that I share with you in my new exercise DVD Strangling with Style. For only $19.95, you too can learn how to consistently choke people in a mere fifteen minutes a day three times a week. Forget worrying about individual muscle groups, darling, and follow my step by step instructions as my patented exercises combine to give you a full upper body workout. In no time at all you’ll always be prepared when the opportunity to crush a windpipe presents itself.



Act now, and I’ll also throw in my Subtle Stalking DVD at no additional charge. You’ll learn how to appear to be innocuously watching your wife when in actuality you’re ensuring that the object of your obsession doesn’t do anything without your knowledge and that you don’t wholeheartedly approve.



So take charge of your subjects today and pick up a copy of Strangling with Style at a local retailer near you, online, or stop by my Used Vehicle Emporium at the corner of County Road E and Highway 65. Strangling with Style. Because sometimes a man needs to choke a witch.

Ejami Has Another SOD Cover

Again courtesy of Soap Opera Digest. I really do like this photo even if it's all golden couple with the gold background, Ejami looking like they came back from Sunday brunch, and EJ's face lightly touching Sami's.



I find this photo kinda unnerving, actually. I just cannot imagine Lucas, Sami, and EJ nicely standing there like that without some severe head injuries involved.



Now this is more like it.

Two More Ejami Clips on Hulu

The first one is May 14th with Ejami, Nicole, and that dude from Jay Leno.



The second one is May 15th with a hot Ejami kiss!

More EJ Clips on Hulu

April 15th with Nicole and Philip and May 9th with Nicole. I say just ignore Nicole and watch EJ.

“You must be crazy.”
“Only for you.” Awwww. And Sami, EJ does like your chest, but you don’t have to show it off to him that much.



“You can have the apple slices if you like.” Apparently she does. And preschool when the kids aren’t even a year old yet? Someone’s reaching.



“You know that there is nothing that I wouldn't do to help you.” I know. That’s why you’re Evil EJ. Nothing gets in your way.
“I don't care what kind of relationship we have, but you don't need to do this anymore. You don't have to stand there and pretend to be this person. Just come here. Come here. Come here. It's okay.” Oh, I love Ejami hugging! And encouraging Sami to be her evil self and command after command. You really are a mastermind.



Yes, I know, EJ. Your Samantha is very frustrating sometimes.



“I hate girls who cry all the time.”
“You don't cry all the time, darling. Some of the time you're angry.” A joke! Thank you!



“Samantha, you do have control of your own life. It's just other people's lives that you can't be expected to control. Not like I do, anyway.”



“Now, where do we go from here?”
“If you really don't want me in your life, you need to let me know because at the moment, I'm getting some really mixed signals.”
“Do you have feelings for me? Do you have any feelings for me at all?” Dude, you are relentless. Keep knocking at the door.
“But if you want me to stop having any kind of relationship with Nicole that is not strictly professional, I will do that. You just have to give me a reason to do it. Just something.” I love how EJ makes deals with Sami all the time. Quid pro quo is so sexy.



“What are you going to do about it?” Man, Evil EJ really needs to run an empowerment seminar. Sami thinks she has control over her own life…even though he’s pulling the strings.



My favorite part and just like back in 2006. Touching heads like this is such a sweet gesture. EJ is so attached to his Samantha.



I also love Ejami kissing! And no slurping, just loving.

Grade: A-. The only way this would have been better would have been if it was longer. EJ is entwining himself around Sami, and Sami is letting her love for him out. Go Ejami!

“Everything is perfect. I live in this great house. I have these two healthy, happy, sleeping children, and what could I possibly have to complain about?” And you’re married to EJ! It’s totally awesome!



“I assume you are referring to Master Elvis.” Still don’t like you, Rolf, but nice to see you’re on the “Let’s call EJ Elvis” bandwagon. See who else you can convince.



“I can't get over the feeling that I'm cheating on Samantha.” Aw, you love her so much! *sigh*



“I should just ignore all of my emotions.”
“Well, with the exception of the one emotion which will never steer you wrong-fear. It is the most effective survival technique to which one must always succumb.” Yeah, Sami, keep leaving the twins with the evil doctor here; nothing bad could possibly come of it.



“I'm the victim here, all right? And the sooner I can remind Samantha of that, the better.”
Hehehe. Oh, this is going to be glorious, isn’t it, Evil EJ?



“Well, you wait right here. We'll continue this little tête-à-tête when I get back.” Oh, so commanding. I love it when EJ orders.
“Samantha, I have absolutely nothing to gain by lying to you. And by nothing, I mean everything.”
“As a matter of fact, Samantha, it is out of the goodness of my heart.” Oh, no, it’s not.
“And I'm an American gladiator.” If you’re going to plug, NBC, do it a tad bit less obviously.



“Whether you want to believe it or not, I really want you to be happy.” With you, you mean. And where have I seen that evil brown hoodie before?



“I made love to you that night because of the way that I felt about you, and at the time, I really-I-I thought that you felt the same way.”
“And I was so embarrassed and humiliated by that, by how disgusted you were with me, that I took all my anger and I brought it all against you.” These are the only two lines I liked out of this whole conversation. Ali and especially James did a great job with the material, but I simply don’t care. Seriously, I’ve been over the deal since February 2007. It was an adult trade, and they both got what they wanted.



“I told her that I loved you.” Of course you did!
“You've done a lot of good things, as you pointed out” Um, like what, Sami? EJ only does ‘good’ in order to raise your opinion of him, not because he’s a good man.
“You were willing to help Lucas come back.” Only in order to wean you off him and realize your love for EJ.



“I'm not doing anything. She's the one who's chasing me.”
“It's relevant because I can't stop her from turning up wherever she wants to, okay?”
“I can't control what she does, okay? If she wants to have a crush on me...” Well, you could stop calling Nicole and leading her on, but that doesn’t exactly fit with your evil plan to entrap your Samantha, does it?



“How is that a problem, Samantha? We're married.” Exactly, EJ. I don’t see any problem here.
“What is wrong with me?” If this is wrong, Sami, you don’t want to be right.

Grade: B+. I had to take off some for the deal discussion, but EJ reminding Nicole that he only loves Sami and Ejami kissing was fanastic. Evil EJ’s plan to ensnare his Samantha is progressing nicely.
