VICTOR TO MAGGIE: OUT!!!!

Victor loses it this week on Salem Lives when he kicks Maggie out of his mansion in a fit of rage which, ultimately, leads her back to the bottle. The week begins with Maggie lashing out at Stefano and Lexie after Theo's custody hearing. "The hearing is over and Lexie has lost Theo so Maggie is rubbing it in," says HW Tim Lowery. "She really hates the Dimera's because of the island and Mickey's death and she is just laughing in their face saying there is more suffering for them to come." Maggie then makes a huge error-an error that she gets caught in the act of making. "She says that Victor and his crew are planning their revenge and that the Dimera's will be no more," previews Lowery. "She then blurts out that Victor, Bo. Austin, and Lucas are already looking over maps and blueprints of Stefano's various properties and lairs and that they are going to strike. The worst part is that Victor hears everything and is just furious." Lexie and Stefano leave and Victor just loses it on Maggie. "He tells her in the middle of his temper eruption that he wants her out of his house and away from him," sighs Lowery. "She runs off in tears and he isn't bothered by it until much later when he can't find her after he goes off to look for her." By week's end, Victor organizes a search party to find Maggie while Maggie is tempted by her past demons again and hits the bottle hard...again. "Things are definitely turning ugly," hints Lowery.

MAX AND CASSIE: COLLUSION COURSE

Chelsea and Abby are on a collusion course with Max and Cassie this week on Salem Lives and the results leave heartbreak and devestation in it's wake. The week begins with Max bumping into a down and out Chelsea. "She is drunk, high, and just totally out of it," says HW Tim Lowery. "When Max runs into her she isn't even coherent." Max tries once more to let him help her and to give their relationship one more chance and Chelsea refuses. "She brings up how they are over and he had his chance," previews Lowery. "She mentions how he didn't even care to find out what was going on with her and, basically, says he abandoned her. Max reminds Chelsea how she pushed him away but even he knows that he gave up and screwed up big time." Chelsea then runs off and her downward spiral worsens when she accepts meth from a bunch of friends from school. Meanwhile, Abby and Max end up having a fight after Frankie once again convinces Abby to talk to Max. "They have a major falling out," sighs Lowery. "They both feel horrible about it but don't have the courage to go find one another to fix it." A disappointed and guilty Max then hits the bar and ends up seeking solace with Cassie. "Cassie is there in front of him once again and he is getting hammered," says Lowery. "Max normally would never just jump into bed with a girl but he is so vulnerable and just looking for some confort somewhere. He is lost and is so out of it and Cassie has seemed to always be there recently. He needs a friend and gravitates towards Cassie and calls her a friend for the first time, which makes Cassie feel good too." At week's end, passions ignite for Cassie and Max just as both Chelsea and Abby decide to look for Max and talk things out. When they find Max, what they see will not only continue Chelsea's cycle of destruction but will send Abby down a shocking path as well. "Chelsea will get much worse and what happens to Abby will stun everyone," promises Lowery. "The situation with both Abby and Chelsea will get very serious...and disturbing."
