Thank you Dave for the recap. This sounds like another good epi. Heartbreaking though.

Nicole finally has the power to end this relationship in her hands and not EJ. EJ is helpless, vulnerable and at the mercy of Nicole. He wants this marriage to work so bad, but still, he doesn't use the "l" word to change her mind and unfortunately we know why, because they have to lesson the blow a bit when he does the unthinkable. I'm sure he'll finally say it afterwards. Damn, I love EJ right now and I really don't want to be pissed at him. I just think he's the perfect guy for Nicole. I have wondered about why he didn't say it because I felt it was the one thing Nicole was waiting to hear EJ say. You make a good point about them having to lessen the blow when EJ does the unthinkable. I also think having her set him free will make it easier for them to get past what EJ does.

What I like about the situation right now is that the roles of EJ & Nicole are going to be reversed. Nicole was the one with the secret that would end them during their first marriage and now it will probably be EJ. Could I be proven wrong and they would actually try something new and let EJ tell Nicole the truth no matter what the cost to EJ? That would prove how unselfish he was. I'll admit, Ej was so wishy washy with Sami during Ejole's first marriage, I was always feeling Nicole's pain, although what she did ws wrong. I couldn't help rooting for her because I knew when EJ found out, he'd use it as an excuse to run to Sami, which eventually he did.
This time it's different. Not only is EJ head over heals in love with Nicole, Nicole feels exactly the same way. You know if this secret comes out later rather than sooner, it's going to be EJ who's going to be devastated along with Nicole because they'll still be in love with each other. EJ will be the one groveling to a woman he's totally and completely in love with. His love turned to hate the first go around. And Nicole will be devastated because once again she lost the man of her dreams. It's gonna be some soapy episodes to remember for years. Hell, all these scenes the last few days are in the books as scenes we'll remember for a long.long time.

I'll admit, Ej was so wishy washy with Sami during Ejole's first marriage, I was always feeling Nicole's pain, although what she did ws wrong. I couldn't help rooting for her because I knew when EJ found out, he'd use it as an excuse to run to Sami, which eventually he did. Except that he didn't. There are two examples I can think of which always make me wonder why people feel that EJ would drop Nicole at the first opportunity. 1. EJ directly accused Sami of interrupting his wedding because she was jealous and wanted him. It has always seemed stupid to me that EJ only married Nicole because of Sydney, because he also had one child with Sami. So since the baby mama situation was identical, why did he feel he needed to marry Nicole when he thought he might have a chance with Samanther? She was interrupting his wedding for heaven's sake. 2. After the Sydney reveal, EShami weren't together for months. I heard nothing on the boards for months but "EJ doesn't care about Nicole and he'll really be happy when it turns out he can dump Nicole and have his beloved." It turns out that EJ didn't "rediscover" his "love" for Sami until about three months after the reveal and certainly after Nicole was shipped off to prison (and AZ to maternity leave). No coincidence, I'm sure, that ratings started their free fall about that time. And Sami wasn't with Rafe at the time EJ threw Nicole out of the house either--Rafe was still on the Sydney hunt. EJ was getting his revenge on Sami, not lusting after her, until the inexplicable decision to revisit EShami (and suddenly make Nicole the interloper to Brady and Arianna, another WTF decision).

I had a chance to watch 11/10's show live yesterday. I also cheated and watched the clips the night before. These scenes broke my heart and moved me to tears.
At first EJ got this happy look on his face when Nicole pulled the papers out. My heart sank when the look on his face changed. EJ was devastated! The man was heartbroken and crushed. Nicole really didn't want to do it too. She was on the verge of tears when she gave the divorce papers to him. Neither of them wants to do this.
Watching the scene where EJ's sitting at the desk, it occurred to me that maybe EJ's afraid he can't give Nicole what she wants and needs.

I think when EJ was at the desk, he saw how resolute Nicole was in having it all and EJ throws in the reference to the kids and family in the hopes of getting Nicole to change her mind. Alas, I think he saw her eyes and the pain, and signed the papers. He let her go. Those scenes were so good. Kudos to Ari and James.
