Celeste - you evil bitch. Working for EJ.

Things are picking up at least and I did not see Celeste thing coming.

Do anyone notice the show didn't end with that annoying close-up freeze frame thing.

God, Celeste is a backstabbing BITCH!!!

I hope she gets her comeuppance for treating a PREGNANT woman this way.

had Sami lost the child, it's on that BITCH's head!!!

So so glad they didn't villainize Celeste here. This is the Ceslete we all fell in love with back in the day - she'll doing anything for Lexie! Loves it. Although I wish she'd thrown in EJ's face the fact that Stefano would never put his own agenda before his family, not just his children. I still find it hard to believe Stefano sanctioned EJ's actions against his sister.

Loved the blood pressure debate and Kate and Sami getting into it. I don't mind Kate being against Sami when she's actually findign a REAL reason.

Maggie & Hope! In a scene! Yay!

I'm quite enjoying the show again. It's can't miss for me lately.

I understand why Celeste did what she did. Like Keith said she'll do anything for her daughter Lexie.

Sami & Kate were great today as well.

I hope Philip burns in hell.

So is Celeste Sami's enemy or EJ's? I'm confused here....also I'm guessing Elvis is alive and well? Thank God...how else am I going to see the beauty of Ejami rekindled if James Scott isn't there for the role?

Oh, HOLY CRAP!! Kate found EJ's calling card!! Literally!!!

It's brilliant and I did NOT see that coming.

Oh, Hope is a BITCH!! And she has the resources to win in the court case and she knows it! She's preying on a POOR girl just cause she can. sHE'S THE FEMALE PHILIP!!!

Hope, you're evil!!!

I have to hand it to Kate, she is GOOD. She's figuring out Sami's plans and sees the connection between Brandy, the fire, Sami, EJ...and that look on her face when she knew she was right was PRICELESS!! God I love her. I hate Sami being tortured but this is some good drama!

OH, damn! Willow, you're pathetic! You KNOW you're lying about Chelsea starting the fire and you're still trying to act so convincingly about it.

OH, Celeste...you are so right about EJ. He would be a HORRIBLE father. I hope she got through to him. Evil, though I like 'im, I want him to be softer when it comes to his children -- and Sami.

Oh, Hope is a BITCH!! And she has the resources to win in the court case and she knows it! She's preying on a POOR girl just cause she can. sHE'S THE FEMALE PHILIP!!!

Hope, you're evil!!!

Hope doesn't want a court case which is why she went straight up to Willow about taking care of the baby.

I'm pretty sure Willow herself believes she didn't start the fire now.

I can't get too mad at Celeste. She is just doing what any desperate mother would do in that situation. At least she's under no illusions about the fact that Elvis is a psychotic bastard. I liked her remark that even Stefano wouldn't endanger the health of a baby that might be his.

Hope doesn't want a court case which is why she went straight up to Willow about taking care of the baby.

I'm pretty sure Willow herself believes she didn't start the fire now.

First of all, Willow is one psychotic FRUITCAKE if she thinks she is innocent of the fire. What a freak!

As for Hope, that doesn't get her off. She's still a bitch. I mean, it's still a "my way or the highway" situation. Oh, you won't cooperate? Well, that's okay, I already had Plan B up my sleave -- to drag your ass to court!!!

So, HOpe is still a rich bitch.

OH, LORD! I just saw in the preview that Stephanie's on her "papa" train again.

Get a life, girl! Call him "DAD" like everyone else!!!

Awesome episode!

I love that Philip is now on the island. That storyline grew stale real fast, but since Philip's arrival today, I'm interested again. And I'm glad Duck is on Philip's side. Everyone talks about how evil of a man Philip is, but he's a smart man. He knew of Duck's military past and he used their connection to his advantage. Way to go! Philip and Claire are the only two people I feel sorry for in this storyline. Shawn and Belle don't deserve Claire. And Gabby? That bitch doesn't deserve air!

I'm always for a Hope and Willow scene. Annie Burgstede works well with Kristian Alfonso. She always has. Even though I hope Willow does give her baby over to Bo and Hope, I can see where she is coming from. It's no secret that Willow doesn't want to be a mother, but this baby has been growing inside of her for months. She's going to have a connection with him. Hope has to understand that. She wants to give the baby a better life. I'm torn.

Is that movement I see in the Lucas/Sami/EJ storyline? Yes! It is!!! So Celeste and EJ are working together. I'm not upset with Celeste for what she's done. She's not an evil woman. She is a woman who will do anything to protect her child. Celeste is just as much of a DiMera as Stefano is. I'm glad she spoke up and said that even Stefano wouldn't harm family for his agenda. Family means everything to the DiMeras.

Great ending! Kate walking out of that room was such a wonderful cliffhanger. What did she hear? Anything?

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Welcome back, Hogan Sheffer! It's good to have you back!

IA with you and though it is VERY weird that EJ would harm Stefano's daughter (I think it would do the show best if they reveal she is just taking care of Stefano) and his own 1/2 sister, Celeste's motives were legit and it worked out good. Loved the ending with Kate learning about Celeste and EJ too.

The show has definitely amped it up for sweeps. It only took them 4 months, but it is sad that the right characters are still not being featured and it is the stories that should have culminated 2 months ago that are reaching their heights now. But still, definitely an improvement.
