"sitting here with my hand on my gun."

TMI!!!

Here's a cheat sheet for Monday's eppy.

Nicole and the gang: EJ almost strangles her. Sami and Brady thinks she's telling the truth that she doesn't know what happened to Sydney. EJ doesn't believe her. Stefano shows up. Rafe gets snarky with him. Stefano warns Rafe not to leave Ejami alone. Stefano says about the Christmas pic of the 4 of them, Ejami and their kids. EJ is not happy to see Stefano. At the end of the eppy, EJ thinks Stefano took Sydney. Nicole seemed very believable that she doesn't know where Sydney is, but at the end of the eppy, she says something about keeping her daughter safe. Which leads one to believe she did set up this phony kidnapping.

Melanie/Carly/Mia/Maggie: Mel and Mia vote Carly out of the house. Maggie and Carly discuss the two girls. Later Carly ruins the Bope reunion by showing up at their doorstep again. Another pic of John Clarke's Mickey in the background.

Brady/Ari: zzzzzzzzzzzzz Ari wants to work things out. She tells Brady over his cell phone, but he's talking to a cop, and doesn't hear her confession of love. She thinks he ignored it. Mel tells Ari later to go for it because Brady is cute. lol

Bope/Ciara: Hope is at the pier with Ciara. She asks Ciara where she wants to hide Daddy's present. Ciara wants to hide it under her bed at her house. Bo shows up. Ciara gives money to an off screen Santa working for the Salvation Army. All 3 go to Bope's house. Bo and Hope playfully bicker a little. Hope wants Bo to tell her Carly's secret. Carly shows up at the door.

Line of the day: Melanie about Carly moving in, "Maggie's going to have to up her homeowner's insurance." lol
