I'm loving this nu-john.. He's really getting some juicy dialog..

"Am i really that good in the sack?"

"Well i just told this pushy bitch to go to hell and she didn't even blink"

"You hot for her yourself?" (to Roman)

Also i enjoyed Marlena telling John about everything that happened this past year: john getting shot, the coma, Stefano stealing John's kidney and the hit and run...

Also i adore Philliip and Belle, they are currently my favorite couple on the show..Jay and Martha have both improved tremendously under Ed Hogan..I hope Jay never leaves the show!!!

John calling Roman out about Marlena had to be one of the funniest scenes on Days in years . It's about time someone did, especially after the past few months of him following Marlena around with his tongue hanging out. Loved that and Marlena's laughing reaction was hilarious. .

The J&M scenes continue to rock and loved the mention of the dream story last year and the kidney. I am glad that was addressed and also it was nice to hear about some of the discoveries they made on John's body, like the scars and the marks on his skull. Nice touches. Loved how stern Marlena was and John as an !@#$%^&*] rocks. He is actually being manipulative and trying to negotiate. Loved how he tried to do it with Bo too. Good stuff around.

Loved the slow motion Hope and Marlena hug. Nice touch and I love their friendship. KA was glowing today. I appreciated the realism but it was sure nice to see Hope all made up again. She was glowing and looked great. Loved Roman, Bo, and Hope together thinking things out and how Shawn recalled the events and remembered the tattoo, which led to Roman, who had a picture from what Marlena found. Now this is an umbrella story. The pieces all coming together, everyone having a purpose and determining connections. Love it.

I had to laugh though about how Bo, Roman, and Hope decide not to tell Marlena about the kidnapping yet 10 minutes later they go ahead and do it . Same goes for Philip, who promised to step aside yet tells Belle anyway. I realize he had to but still . One more note about the Salem police. You gotta love Bo and Roman after they learned that the tattoo Shawn remembered was the same symbol as in Roman picture. Roman asks Bo if he is thinking what he is thinking and Bo's response:

Bo: Gotta be a connection...

Gee, Bo. YA THINK?! DUH?! .

It is nice to see them all thinking things through though.

Also, you could tell Kathy Foster directed today as soon as you saw the camera shots of Belle's monitors. Nice touches. Jay and Martha have rocked this week. Philip's love is evident and I am really starting to love them and Shawn is looking better with Chloe too. Loving the quad and loved the end scene with Belle learning about Claire from Philip. Belle's monitors going nuts when Philip came in was interesting too.

Great episode.
