Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) is back in town and ready to become the next Federico Fellini – but first, he needs a little influx of cash. Papa EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) isn’t about to part with any of his, but he did offer Johnny a seat at DiMera Enterprises; Johnny said no, in the strongest way possible, then took his leave.

Off he popped to Julie’s Place, where he made the acquaintance of a lovelorn Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens). They talked, flirted, and Johnny managed to slip his number inside Chanel’s phone.

She made a beeline for Grandpa John (Drake Hogestyn) and Grandma Marlena (Deidre Hall) so that they could all discuss the situation – and agree that it’s not like Sami to stay radio silent for so long.

John agreed to go lean on EJ for info – which was not at all appreciated by the DiMera scion; Marlena and Allie receive a text message, purportedly sent from Sami, saying that she’s okay but unable to face her loved ones.
