36 minutes; today's show is all Body and Soul
It's the same night.
Replay of Johnny and Chanel in the DiMera living room. Johnny talking to EJ on phone about the bomb and Gabi. Johnny tells Chanel his dad is fine and Gabi didn't have serious injuries. The fire chief says the house is ok, but EJ lost his stock of Chateau Margaux (wine - poor baby). Chanel says she likes cheaper wine. Johnny reminds her in Italy she kept ordering expensive wine after they got married. They kiss and Chanel's happy they don't have to move out. She needs to rest, her first day of filming tomorrow with Alex.
Alex and Bonnie at the table in the square. Bonnie's excited Alex, her stepson, is playing her son on the soap opera. She thinks they're like the old Hollywood families. She can't stop blabbering. Alex thinks it's interesting he's playing her son on the soap. Bonnie brings up contracts. She hopes Justin is negotiating his like he did hers. Bonnie wants every penny she's worth.
Kate and Justin in the B&S office. Kate's looking at a contract. Justin says Bonnie wants an extra week of vacation and paid over scale. He gushes about her and asks if they have a deal? Kate looks at him.
Stephanie's at her apartment. Abe comes over. She's working on the press release of the show. Abe came over because something has to be done tonight.
Leo's in his hotel room typing a script. He talks to himself how much he loves the characters and talks about Romeo and Juliet, but his characters are going to be better than Shakespeare. There's a knock on the door. It's Hattie. She has a pile of scripts. She wants them rewritten. (Days needs to do that too).
Leo wants to know what's wrong with the scripts. Hattie says Kassandra has too much of the storyline and Charlemagne is the star of the show. Hattie wants Charlemagne to have more lines since she's the star and points at herself. She says the audience will turn on Leo for him not doing that (sounds familiar LOL) and that people will turn off the TV and go to the movies or read a book, or change channel on TV. Hattie says it will put Bonnie in her place. Leo senses a rivalry. Hattie says Bonnie has become a super diva.
Alex is surprised Justin's getting her better contract. Bonnie says Justin's a crackerjack lawyer (is that how he got his law degree, in a box?) Alex tries to explain to Bonnie the show's on a tight budget. Bonnie says it's a big show and they have money. Kate will fold like a cheap lawn chair.
Kate tells Justin they have a deal. He folds the page to where to sign. Kate says if Bonnie doesn't accept her original deal they will find someone else to play the part.
Abe tells Stephanie they're going to take her suggestion of a photo shoot of the cast. Stephanie says you didn't have the money. Abe says Eric is doing it for free. Stephanie says she will get the cast in for the photo shoot.
Leo is trying to help Hattie, but she doesn't like what he wrote. He says there is a chain of command and his scripts are approved by the producers. (Interesting. Who approved this?) Hattie says Bonnie made changes. Leo's surprised, says he doesn't have time to do rewrites. Hattie badgers him. He says he'll try.
Bonnie goes into character with Alex. She asks how she did? He was amazed. She changed some words. He says she's a great actress. Alex doesn't have his lines memorized yet. He's worried about working with Chanel and says there's tension between us.
Johnny talks to Chanel about working with Alex. She's not happy to spend 8 hours with him. Johnny says 12 hours. He talks what happened with Alex and Allie in the past and Allie likes her new life. Johnny says she seems happy with him. They talk mushy to each other and kiss, then discuss how they will spend 12 at work with each other. Both phones beep. They got pink pages of script. Chanel's upset because Faith and Arrow have sex. They both don't understand why a sex scene so early since Faith and Arrow are star crossed lovers. Johnny says it shouldn't happen for months.
Bonnie talks to Alex about Allie and Chanel breaking up (old news) and wants more details. Alex wants her to use her inside voice (does she have one?) Bonnie says no one is listening. Alex says this is Salem. Bonnie says to use his tension in his acting and talks about a book she read, then goes on and on how he should act (good grief). Alex is surprised. She says she learned about it from Johnny. She shouldn't hold back and what she learned when she acted like Adrienne she can play Kassandra. Justin comes up. Bonnie kisses him and asks about her deal?
Abe arrives at the soap office. He tells her Stephanie is contacting everyone in for the photo shoot and says Eric texted him he's coming since Kate's worried. Kate throws paper in trash and explains to Abe that Justin was trying to get more money for Bonnie. No deal.

Bonnie kisses Justin and takes Alex with her. Hattie is stopped by Leo. He's upset Hattie blamed him for the scripts. Hattie says it's always the writer that takes the blame (yes it is, Re-Ron, this is all your fault).

Chanel tries to walk away, but Kate says they're doing pictures together since they're the hot, young couple.
Leo's dressed for bed in his room. There's pounding on the door. It's Bonnie. Leo explains he did the rewrites and not Hattie. Bonnie says if he doesn't fix it, she'll quit (maybe all of them can quit). She says she won't if he un-pinks the pages now.
