EJami's first real kiss since 2008. Lots of talking about the past and forgiveness.
Sami: Mm-hmm. Your children are night owls. EJ: Yeah, well, I'm glad they are, 'cause I get to see you before the morning, sweetheart. How are you? Hey, Picasso. Hmm? Nothing? "Hello, Daddy."
Sami: No, he--he's very busy working on his magnum opus.
EJ: What do we have there? Oh, I think that's me and Mommy and Sydney and Johnny.
Sami: Family scene. You're gonna have to add Will and Allie. (June 7)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: Hey. It's gonna be okay.
Sami: I'm glad you're here. (June 7)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ:who would you prefer to bunk with this evening, okay? Me...
Johnny: Both!
EJ: Both? (June 7)
EJ: You don't have to worry. Your children are safe.
Sami: For now.
EJ: Just listen to me for a second. Hey, look at me. Please. This family has been through a lot. But that's over. You, your children, me--we're fine, we're safe. I promise you. Just trust me, please. (June 8)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: You don't have to worry. Your children are safe.
Sami: For now.
EJ: Just listen to me for a second. Hey, look at me. Please. This family has been through a lot. But that's over. You, your children, me--we're fine, we're safe. I promise you. Just trust me, please. (June 8)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: Close your eyes.
Sami: Why?
EJ: Because I say so.
Sami: [Laughing] Are you gonna try to hypnotize me? 'Cause I'm telling you right now it's not gonna work. And you're not qualified to be--
EJ: No, that's not what I'm doing. I'm gonna make it so you don't worry so much. (June 8)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: So I want you to... I want you to clear your mind. And I want you to just think of a time when you're with all of your children. Okay, with Sydney, Will, Johnny, Allie. You thought of something?
Sami: Yeah.
EJ: Would you tell me what it is?
Sami: It's when I got Sydney back. [Sigh] It's an amazing feeling, and... I was so relieved. Happy having all my kids there. I just... oh, it was incredible.
EJ: Okay, I want you to lock on to that thought. And I want you to remember how warm it feels. I want you to remember the joy. I want you to store it away somewhere. And anytime you feel worried, I want you to pull it back out. So you can draw strength from it. You still thinking about it?
Sami: Yeah. (June 8)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: It worked. I feel better. It's amazing. Such a simple idea, and it really worked.
EJ: Well, simple ideas tend to be the best.
Sami: You know, that memory... you're a big part of it. You brought me Sydney back. (June 8)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: Well, I'm... I'm touched that I'm part of something that makes you happy. It's certainly quite a change from all the misery I've caused you.
Sami: Come on, EJ, we're past that, right?
EJ: Well... Samantha, when I think about all of the hurt that I've caused you... I'm really ashamed.
Sami: We hurt each other. I mean, come on, neither of us is innocent.
EJ: [Chuckling] No. That is rather true. Just know that I'm sorry. (June 8)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: I mean, all the damage we have done to each other over the years, and everything we've been through. Here we are, living together, raising our kids together. I can't imagine my life without you now.
EJ: Because of the children, right.
Sami: Yeah, I mean, you're so great with them. All of them. Even Will, and he's not yours. But you've made an effort with him and I really appreciate that.
EJ: Well, he's a really good kid. You know, anybody would've done the same thing.
Sami: It's nice seeing this side of you. You know, the charming, funny, sensitive side. (June 8)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ:I want you and the children to be happy. And I'm going to do everything in my power to make that happen.
Sami: Well, you already have. I mean, I gotta be honest, when I moved in here, I thought it would really suck. And Kate and Stefano would be lurking everywhere and causing problems, and I thought you and I would fight, and I thought it was gonna be really brutal. And...it's actually been kinda nice.
EJ: Well, I'm glad you feel that way.
Sami: Don't get me wrong. I mean, this place still definitely creeps me out. But your company makes it bearable.
EJ: Well. For what it's worth, I feel the same way. The only thing that bothers me is when I hear you worrying about your children.
Sami: Well, there's good news there, 'cause I think your plan really helped. I think I have a handle on it now. And I have you to thank for it. (June 8)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: I just wanna thank you for everything you've done for me and my kids.
EJ: Why are you thanking me? Your children are important to me.
Sami: I'm starting to believe that. EJ, it's just so nice being with... with the man that I danced with to that old-timey music. The man that I...
EJ: The man you what? (June 8)
Sami: For now.
EJ: Just listen to me for a second. Hey, look at me. Please. This family has been through a lot. But that's over. You, your children, me--we're fine, we're safe. I promise you. Just trust me, please. (June 8)

EJ: The man you what? (June 8)
EJ: Samantha. Hey. Where are you going?
Sami: I'm going to my place. You know, to make sure the contractor's there, actually doing his job. 'Cause if he's not, I'm gonna kick his ass.
EJ: Samantha, don't you dare run away from what happened between the two of us. (June 14)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: You're telling me not to run away? Are you kidding? That's what I do, I run away from things like this. I could have an Olympic event. I would win.
EJ: You kissed me.
Sami: Yeah, well, you know, I was lonely and vulnerable and--and you were there.
EJ: I don't believe that. And even if it were true... it wouldn't explain what I felt. (June 14)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: You still want me?
EJ: Yes, I do. And I think if you're honest with yourself, you'll admit that you want me too. (June 14)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: How dare you. Don't you dare walk away from me, EJ DiMera. This is not a game to me. You think all I care about is having you chase after me? (June 14)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: I don't know what you want.
EJ: This. See this? Okay? This. That is what I want, all right? This is what our son wants. I don't know what you want. You should probably figure that out, okay? (June 14)

EJ:When I saw how upset you were this morning, I called the contractor. That is him getting back to me.
Sami: Oh. Okay, then.
EJ: And in the interest of full disclosure, I will admit I wasn't going to tell you today.
Sami: Why?
EJ: Because you just got this news about Alice. And you're gonna have to tell William. And honestly, I would like to be there when you tell him, to support you. And I think you should stay in the house until... look... I can't stop you from leaving if you want to leave, then leave. (June 15)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: Look... Samantha, I understand that you want to put some distance between us. I'm just suggesting that you wait until... until this is all over. Please. (June 15)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: Look... Samantha, I understand that you want to put some distance between us. I'm just suggesting that you wait until... until this is all over. Please. (June 15)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: Look, Samantha, I do not want you to feel like you're forced to live here. And if that is how you feel, you should leave. I can talk to Harold, he can pack up your things, the children's things, and you can just sleep in your own beds this evening, okay?
Sami: EJ, wait. I really have to thank you for helping me get my mom's townhouse back on track. And dealing with the contractor when that pipe burst, it really was just too much for me to handle. And I really appreciate all your help.
EJ: Yeah, of course. It wasn't a problem.
Sami: I also wanna thank you for paying for it. I hope that...I hope you don't think it was a waste of money.
EJ: Why would you say that?
Sami: Because I'd like to stay. (June 15)
Sami: Oh. Okay, then.
EJ: And in the interest of full disclosure, I will admit I wasn't going to tell you today.

Sami to Julie about EJ:Sami: People can change. You and I both know that. (June 17)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami to Julie:I'm just saying that EJ is kind, and he's been supportive, and he has been there for me through a very difficult time in my life. And I have watched him with his children. He is an amazing father to them. (June 17)

Carrie: So let me ask you this. How does EJ play into all this?
Sami: EJ's been great. I mean, he's really been there for me. When Sydney was missing, he...
Carrie: Yeah?
Sami: Well, it's sort of hard to explain, you know. I mean, I never thought I would have a relationship with a guy-- certainly not a guy like EJ-- (June 24)
Sami: EJ's been great. I mean, he's really been there for me. When Sydney was missing, he...
Carrie: Yeah?
Sami: Well, it's sort of hard to explain, you know. I mean, I never thought I would have a relationship with a guy-- certainly not a guy like EJ-- (June 24)
Carrie to Sami:If you have feelings for Rafe and EJ, you have to decide. You can't have both. (June 25)
Sami: What-- what did you think?
Ej: Stop being so coy, samantha. You know exactly how I feel. I got the blizzard cake. (June 29)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: Your feelings? I don't know...what you mean.
Ej: Everything that has happened since he left-- your moving in here, amantha, the night we went swimming, the way we bonded over johnny's accident. You kissed me. I mean, did it never occur to you--
Sami: What? What? I don't what you saying.
Ej: I love you. (June 29)
Ej: Stop being so coy, samantha. You know exactly how I feel. I got the blizzard cake. (June 29)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: Your feelings? I don't know...what you mean.

Sami: What? What? I don't what you saying.
Ej: I love you. (June 29)
Ej: Samantha, when I tell you that I love you... I mean every single word.
Sami: I...um-- I mean--
Ej: You can't pretend you had no idea... whether you've known how I felt for weeks.
Sami: No. No. I mean, obviously, I-- well, I mean, I thought maybe you--
Ej: That I'd loved you? That I'd fallen in love with you?
Sami: Ej, i thought there was something-- I mean, I just thought I mean, you can't just come out and say something like that. I mean, it--it's overwhelming.
Ej: Well, okay, but-- yes.
Sami: Yeah, what?
Ej: You're still here. You didn't leave. (June 30)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: Well, I mean, it's not like I'm being threatened. It's just, you know, you said you had feelings for me.
Ej: Love, samantha. I said I loved you. You didn't run. Didn't move out. You didn't signal in any way that my feelings were unwelcome. (June 30)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ej: The reason you're still here. You're here because you are in love... with me. So why don't you just admit that? (June 30)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: Um, um, I'm flattered. I am. And I'm really glad that things are different between us, you know? We haven't fought in so long, people wouldn't even recognize us.
Ej: Samantha, the issues that we used to have, I think, seem rather insignificant when... love is involved.
Sami: Right. No, no, I just mean... that I'm glad that we're getting along, you know, because after everything, you know, we've been through, it's just nice that it's changed, you know? That we don't fight and bicker anymore and, you know, like i said, that we get along.
Ej: Why can't you admit that it's more than that?
Sami: Ej. I'm sorry. But I don't feel the way about you that you-- that you said that you feel about me. (June 30)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: Santha, hey, just--
Sami: No matterow med, you are always gonna be an arrogant bastard.
Ej: All right, look. D noelfish, lying twit, first of all. And secondly, you are a giant pain in my ass and you always will be.
Sami: That's right. That's right, 'cause that's who I am and you know what? I'm--tyo
EJ: no, you're not. (June 30)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: Right. Okay. Yeah, no, I'll listen. But you don't get to tell me how i feel, what I feel, or when I'm feeling it. That is entirely up to me. Understood?
Ej: Got it. (June 30)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: What are you grinning about?
Ej: I-- I'm just marveling at you. You don't change much, do you? You know, you get backed in a corner. Come out fighting. It's one of the things that I hate about you. And strange enough, it is one of the things that I absolutely love you.
Sami: Oh, my god! Stop using that word! 'Cause you don't love me, okay? Don't use the word.
EJ:Trust me, you do I know now that I love you.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ej: Well, why did you kiss me? Tell me. Why?
Sami: I don't know. Because. Because it was just a crazy momentary thing.
EJ: Ha it's because we both felt exactly the same thing. Why don't you just admit that?
Sami: Because I really think that you intoally there.
Ej: Really? I mean, we have a bond, we share two children, sydney and johnny. We have a family. You live here.
Sami: Oh, yeah, but that doesn't count. Come on. I'm just living here because of everything else. (June 30)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ej: We have feelings for one another. Look, samantha, why don't you just be honest with me, okay? That kiss that night... that said everything. I need to know. It told me... that you need me and want me as much as I need and want you.
Sami: [Stammering]
Ej: Look, you may not be in love with me, but I know you have feelings for me. So why don't you just admit that? Just don't fight anymore.
Sami: Oh, I--
Ej: I did. Then gave you up. So I gave up. Samantha, we belong together. Our children are proof of that. How many times have we been so close? So in love? Yes, things happen. But we always get back together, because this is so real, because this is so deep, because this is so-- so perfect. (June 30)
Sami: I...um-- I mean--
Ej: You can't pretend you had no idea... whether you've known how I felt for weeks.
Sami: No. No. I mean, obviously, I-- well, I mean, I thought maybe you--
