Life in prison apparently didn’t help Lucas get in touch with his feminine side. On Thursday, he imagines that he can leave the glamorous diva in his life, and yes, I mean Chloe, not Kate, at home to babysit Allie. When he tells Philip the plan, his brother has to wonder if there’s been a mistake when Chloe suddenly walks in. Meanwhile, someone who has equally dubious taste in women, Nick, is starting to reach the end of his rope. When another mope and worry session from Chelsea is set to get underway, the fraudulent physicist cuts her short, “Dan hurt you and you came running to me. I know you have issues but I can’t fix them.”

Across town, two people with even bigger issues than Chelsea may be making some hair brained decisions of their own. Max wants to drag his sister over to Trent’s hotel room and take care of him. His sister is slightly less enthusiastic, “Max, I told you I don’t ever want to see this man again and if you don’t understand that then to hell with you!” Or is something else implied in her statement? After all, Trent is being prepped to become Salem’s latest stiff this week. Maybe asking Nicole to re-enact scenes from “Lockerrom Lolita” pushed her over the edge? Unlike many a corpse in Salem, he’s not expected to return from the dead. Perhaps he can be reincarnated in Nicole’s baby…
