Birthdays and Intrigue in Salem 1/27/2012
cast of characters: Will, Theo, Sidney, Carrie, Rafe, Abe, Lexie, Jennifer, EJ, Nicole, Stefano, Bo and Hope, Austin and Abbey and Kayla.
Sidney is one lucky girl today. It is her b-day. EJ has plotted a scheme to give her a birthday party at the mansion and have Will slip her out of the house to attend it. Will is reluctant but realizes it will stick in his mothers craw, so he does it. EJ invites one child to the party, Theo. Why he doesn't have Johnny to the party I am not sure. Abe and Jen suggest they all go to the party (because everyone knows you need a press secretary to a 5 year olds birthay. Really they just want to steal the questions for mayorial debate. So EJ and Nicole dress up the manse with pink balloons and lots of gifts. Everyone arrives and are civil. Abe and Jen find out that Will is working for EJ. They can't believe he is working for EJ. I am not sure they are buying his lame reasons why. Someone is bound to figure out he is being blackmailed at some point (hurry up Lucas).The questions are delivered and Nicole puts them in a drawer in the foyer. Jen has been watching and tells Abe. Abe goes in for the switch and EJ walks in and asks him what he is doing out there alone. (remind me never to have Jenn be the lookout while I am breaking the law.)
Stefano and Bo and Hope are once again at it with the box. We do find out a little more about what is inside. Stefano actually only knows one thing that is in the box but there are two things. One of which is some information that Stefano has over the Hortons. Alice had her own thing over Stefano. So they decided to just put them in this lock box and noone had anything over the other. Apparently Stefano's info on the Hortons is pretty big according to him. We do not know what Alice had on Stefano. Bo and Hope want to open the box and are not affraid of Stefano's warnings (maybe they should be......) I loved that Stefano called Hope his little Art theif. Great call back on history.Maybe that time in her life has to do with the secret!
Rafe and Carrie have to dress up like two tv characters, a prince and princess. They also have to learn a ball room dance. Kayla teaches them the dance and they practice and practice and practice till they are nearly ready to start shagging there in the Brady fish market. This scene was a little weak but I think it will get better on Monday as their spouses catch up to them!
Austin and Abbey are discussing her new modeling plans. Austin knows Abbey is all grown but admits he still thinks of her as Jack and Jens little girl. Abbey ofcourse doesn't want to hear that gets a little upset. Austin appologizes.
Monday's ep looks promising as does the previews for the week. Monday's ep. will take up what todays ep left off. I am hoping that Monday they finally open that damn box. Monday's ep. should also be Lis de Cozette's first credit as EP. I hope this was a good move for Days.

It was a decent episode, except the whole Prince Charming & Sleeping Beauty routine was abit much, I've had enough of Disney for a lifetime. As whole week of episodes it was a very good week overall. I think Monday's episode should be pretty good. LMAO about the statement on Cafe about "shagging at the Brady fish market" Watch Cafe come out and dance like the next contestants of DWTS..
