Free Weezy.

Eh. I didn't get much of a chance to pay attention, so this is really all about Will. There is slight recappage of other stories, but mainly, I only did that to post a Victor line.

Both Stefano and Rafe suspect Will of shooting Elvis. Stefano continues his threats of vengeance on his son's shooter, and Kate and Sami defend Will. (Well, duh, Sami knows for a fact he didn't do it. You know, considering she did it.) Sami reminds Stefano that against everyone's warnings, Will got close to Stefano and cares about him, basically outlines how wonderful a person Will is, but yeah. Stefano is still convinced it was him. Meanwhile, EJ's brain activity is increasing (well, that's nice. It's been 13 years, why start now?), and Lexie is trying to wake him up. So Sami, Stefano and Kate rush to the hospital. Unsurprisingly, nothing happens as Stefano tries to get EJ to name his attacker, and Elvis goes back to being useless and in a coma.

Rafe questions Will at the "beach" (if I were scoring today, this would be a +3) and says that he's changed from being "Rigid FBI guy," not everything is black and white and he'll do anything to protect the people he loves. So, not-very-subtly, he's telling Will that if he shot EJ, he'll protect him from Stefano. Rafe gets a call from Sami from the hospital, so he and Will head to Salem U.

Upon arrival, Stefano makes sure to pointedly mention to Will that whoever shot his son will PAY! Sami whisks Will away to talk to him privately, and Rafe and Kate exchange a few words. I forget what.

Sami wants Will to live with Roman, to protect him from Stefano. He'd rather live with Grandma Caroline, but Roman has GUNS and knows how to use them! Will seems shocked that his mother is THAT afraid of what Stefano will do. Words, words, words. Sami refuses to let Will take the fall for her crime, and says that if he's accused, she'll confess. Will refuses to let her confess. The kids need her! And OMG, Will is like perfect and so noble it would be annoying if he weren't so presh. He apparently believes Rafe has changed and all, because he thinks Sami should tell him the truth, because he could help. Sami refuses to tell Rafe, for fear of ruining his life should it come out that he's an accessory to her crime.

Stefano agrees that the thought of Will shooting EJ is upsetting. Stefano is fond of Will, and tells Kate he won't do anything until he finds out for sure. I don't even know, guys. Will is adorable. Like, he should pretty much be declared a saint. So if Stefano goes after him, I cannot say I would be behind this course of action unless Chad is there. And makes #Chill HAPPEN. Because it's real, guys. It's real. I made Rafe and Nicole ~happen, even if only temporarily and not for really real, but Chill is like totally not made-up, so yeah. I think I can help make it happen because nobody on the internet would disagree, would they? (What am I even talking about now? I DON'T EVEN KNOW.) My only problem with them is that I don't know which one is Claire Danes.

Later, Sami is in bed with Rafe, insisting that she'll fix all of this. He wonders how, and she very vaguely says she'll find a way...

Elsewhere in Salem, Vivian seems to have skipped town. However, Brady is kind of crazy right now and locked her in the sarcophagus which she intended for dear Maggie. Brady is annoying and kind of gross right now, but whatever. Vivian buried his mother in a PET CEMETERY and he's legit out of his mind due to his low tolerance for certain substances, so are we really surprised that he did this?

Anyway, Victor is celebrating her disappearance, but Justin and Maggie are skeptical that she actually left. Maggie suggests that Victor try contacting her friends. His response is quite a gem. "How many friends do you think a snake could list on Facebook?" Victor takes Maggie up to Vivian's room (ooh, la la) to show her that Vivian is clearly gone for good, which Vivian watches in horror from the monitor in her sarcophagus hooked up to the secret camera in her room. She proceeds to call Maggie a hussy and other unpleasant names, and this is so ridic and comical.

Also skeptical of Vivian's disappearing act is Carly, who has more glamorous hair to prove it. She doesn't think it's like Vivian to just leave, and Bo tries to think of reasons why she would leave. Among them is that Victor said something mean to her. See, Carly, like the rest of us, know that's bullshit. "Victor doesn't say nice things to Vivian's face, what does she expect him to say behind her back?" HAHAHAHA. True, though. Bo continues to try to reason with her that Vivian is gone so he calls Brady to look into it. Yeah, okay. Brady. That will end well. Even if we didn't know that he's behind Vivian's current situation...like really? Anyway, Sierra apparently is an arts and crafts masterclass, because the demon child popped up with what is apparently a magnum opus according to Bo and Carly's praises. And she wants Carly to have her artwork. Well, that is precious. I would lol so hard if Hope gets out of jail and like Sierra is in love with Carly.

Speaking of Hope, she's still in jail (obviously) and cellmate Tina has now called in reinforcements to once again start a fight with the crazy psycho cop. How cute. Bo is talking about how Hope hasn't responded to any of Sierra's letters or anything yet, and then he gets a call from Warden about Hope's exploits. Awesome ~juxtaposition.

Brady continues to be strange, and has like crisisisesees of faith or something over neutralizing Vivian for now.

But who cares, because EJ stirs long enough to say "Samantha" and freak Lexie out. OOH. SUSPENSE.

No news on the hair front, as Philip and Nathan were both absent today.
