AT MAISON BLANCHE:

" Bart, I am trusting you to stand guard outside this room. Don't fail me. And Rolfe, I hope you will walk with me out to the car so we can talk over these medical reports," Tony said, ignoring his prisoners, before turning back to get another look at the two of them helpless and struggling against each other.

Tony laughed.

"Now I think I'll leave you two alone. Don't thank me too profusely, little brother," Tony said before exiting, slamming the door shut behind him and turning the lock.

"Oh, E.J., look what you've got me into now," Sami said with exasperation as she squirmed against the ropes binding them together.

"Just relax, Samantha," E.J. said.

"Relax?" Sami asked, no longer struggling violently against the rope while E.J. continued methodically working to loosen its grip on them. "How can I relax knowing that I'm locked up here WITH YOU, when I know that my baby... our baby... is going to be used to save Stefano and that Lucas thinks that I ran off and left him and Will alone."

Sami burst into tears. E.J. wished he had an arm free to reach for his handkerchief and extend it to her.

"Sweetheart, if Lucas really loves you, as much as it pains me to admit it, he'll know that you would never willingly abandon him to run away with me. He'll know that you would never cheat on the person you truly loved, the person you married, and that you are the most fiercely loyal and protective lover a man could ever wish to have," E.J. said with devotion while Sami, with her back turned toward him, was still self-conscious about the way she was blushing.

"Samantha, if Lucas loves you, he'll know that note is a fake and come back for you and believe that you didn't run away with me."

"Yeah, right." Sami says bitterly, before mumbling, "I almost don't believe it myself."

"You almost don't believe it yourself? What do you...?"

"Oh, I didn't mean to get your hopes up E.J.," Sami says remembering herself and allowing her ice-covered heart toward him to harden once again after its brief thaw. "I just almost don't believe this whole thing myself because I've always been such a screwup and here FOR ONCE I'm in this mess and it's not my fault!"

"No, darling. It's not your fault," E.J. said wistfully. "It's mine."

"Yours?" Sami questioned. "But I heard the way Tony talked to you. It sounds like you're in as much trouble as I am right now."

"More actually," E.J. said taking a moment to laugh at his own misfortune.

"What do you mean?" Sami asked not realizing she sounded truly concerned.

"Well, you see, Samantha, it's my fault that I thought I could make you love me, even after all that happened. I wasn't supposed to come back to Salem from Mexico originally but I begged Father to let me do it. Stefano wanted me to plant the Dimera seed and kidnap the mother before the child was born, but I thought once you were pregnant with my child I could convince you to be with me willingly and we could raise our child together as Dimeras, both of us," E.J. said. "That was the only way I could sell Father on the pairing."

"You mean, us being together, truly together, was your idea? Not Stefano's? But the baby and the rape..." Sami said before E.J. cut her off.

"Darling, for the last time, it was NOT rape! Now I know I am a scoundrel and a cad and maybe even the monster you say I am, but I am NOT a rapist!" E.J. said indignantly.

"Then what do you call what happened that night if not rape, huh?"

"Oh, I know that night in Lexie's car wasn't as exhiliaratingly blissful for you as it was for me. I had made you an indecent proposal, Samantha," E.J. admitted. "And used emotional blackmail to get you to accept it. It was sexual extortion. Sextortion. Hmmm I think I just coined a new word, eh?"

"Just shut up already. Fine, it was SEXTORTION and not rape. But that doesn't change what a bastard you've been to me all these months."

"That is true, darling. I have been somewhat of a bastard, haven't I." E.J. said with a twinkle in his eye and a sly, half-grin. "But the truth is that's the only way I know how to cope with this, Samantha. I never meant to fall in love with you. I certainly wasn't ever supposed to have this happen. I mean I've spent my whole life learning how to avoid getting too emotionally attached to people, and when I fell for you last summer and I found that hold that Lucas and Will had over you and I couldn't have you all to myself, well I... I... I didn't know how to handle you rejecting me."

"Me rejecting you! As I seem to recall it, you made me choose. You made me choose between you and my son!"

"And if I could undo any one of the thousands of terrible things I've done in my miserable life, it would be that night. But I didn't mean for you to think that was really a choice between your son and me. I just wanted you to stop letting Lucas use Will to get what he wanted from you, to stop you from getting what you wanted. I didn't think it fair for him to use your sense of obligation to deny your true passion."

"My true passion?" Sami scoffed. "Oh, you mean, you."

"Yeah, I mean me. We were passionate once, weren't we, my dear?" E.J. asked.

The two of them flashback to last summer. *Watch an EJAMI montage here to get a sense of what I'm talking about* Make sure it includes the look they give each other when E.J. feeds her oysters, the dance in the abandoned house, the kiss at the bar, the tango on the pier, etc.

"Yeah, I did care passionately about you E.J. Way more than I ever realized or admitted. But that passion died when I found out the police were after you for all the horrible things happening to my family and then there was Kate's monogrammed bra stuffed in the cushions of your sofa. And then... and then I find out you were a Dimera and Stefano's son!"

"Look, I'm sorry you were hurt by me lying about who I was, but I am NOT sorry I did it because if I had been upfront with you about who I was - all those magical, real, romantic moments we shared last summer wouldn't have happened."

"Magical? Real? Romantic moments? So you're telling me that all that wasn't just playacting in your twisted plant the Dimera seed in Sami game?"

"Samantha, it was real. I never was supposed to fall in love with you. And now that I have, it will probably cost me everything." E.J. told her, still quietly and calmly working with the rope behind his back.

"I'm sorry but how am I supposed to believe you loved me the way you've treated me these past several months. Humiliating me at my wedding. Nearly causing me a nervous breakdown with all these games. Making me think you were going to kill me at the hospital!"

"Samantha, I thought if I punished you, tormented you the way you had my heart, used Kate to make you jealous... I thought if I did all of these things it could make me stop loving you, maybe even hate you, but it's really just made me hate myself."

Sami was speechless. And suddenly E.J.'s hands were free from the rope.

.....................

IN THE CAR:

"Listen, Mom. I don't really feel like talking right now," he said after picking up the phone. "If you're calling to nag me about Sami then just save your breath because it's over between us. We're over."

"Lucas, what are you talking about?" Kate asked.

"In the middle of the night Sami ran off. She left me. For E.J. I told you how we ran into him the other day snooping around, right? Well I woke up in the middle of the night and found a note downstairs,' Lucas said, his voice quivering. "She said she knew the baby was his all along when shel married me and that the reason she never told me about being with E.J. before the marriage was because she wanted ME to leave HER so she could save face being with him. I only wish I would have left her. Man, I should have hit her in the face with that cake at our wedding. Now if you don't mind I think I see a bar up here and I'm feeling a little thirsty right now."

"Oh, that's awful, Lucas. I'm sorry I can't be there in person to help you get through it," Kate said. "But you know as well as I do that drinking is not the answer. It won't change what happened or end your pain, it will only cover it up temporarily."

"It won't ease my pain? Well like talking to YOU is gonna help. C'mon, mom. Cut the crap. I know you're just dying to say I told you so. I know you couldn't be happier that this happened," Lucas said. "That I'm heartbroken and have failed at marriage once again."

"Lucas, I am truly sorry for the pain she caused and any resentment you feel towards me because I was right, but despite how I feel about Sami, I have to tell you your news couldn't come at a worse time for me, for us," Kate replied.
