Liveblogging "Days of our Lives:" Spitting Image

Will and Sonny meet up with some Salem gays. Can Will avoid the pink unicorn in the room? Join us for fun starting at 1 PM ET!

They must know I'm liveblogging today. Quinn and Brady are shirtless kickboxing. Brady (looking, as always, like Gigolo Ken) is upset and taking out his frustrations on seedy-pimp-turned-female-empowerment-champion Quinn. Brady laments that even though his dad was exonerated, he can't get funding to re-grow his company. Quinn responds, "I know exactly what you mean. After I blackmailed your ex-wife Chloe into becoming a whore, and she ended up attacked by the Salem Stalker™ and almost died, I had to leave town ... and now people have trouble trusting me."

Brady points out that it's not exactly the same thing.

Madison interviews Abigail about becoming an assistant, but thinks Abby may have too much going on, what with school and being in love with that guy from Starship Troopers. Abby insists she can handle it.

Chad comes in to find Gabi all aflutter. It turns out that Kate wants them to become the new faces and bodies of Countess Wilhelmina (be sheer coincidence, I was just offered a lucrative deal with Baron Von Hungwell). Chad is overwhelmed.

Sonny and Will are hanging out with One-Shot Salem Gays™ Kareem and Dustin, two promotional guys who are going to help with the new hip hangout. They've had a lot of success with the Salem U. gay club "Unicorn Highway." You know, the club that used to be called the "La Isla Bonita," but they just rearranged a few things, slapped a new paint of coat on, and changed the name.

Anyway ...

Kareem and Dustin have had a lot of success all over the country, except when they went to Illinois, and had to deal with some spoiled blonde kid and his blind barista boyfriend.

Daniel is leaving town (he's going off to pursue his dream of becoming a Tambourine player, which he's perfect for now.)

I'm sorry. That was horrible. Bad snicks

As he says goodbye to Victor, Maggie and Melanie, his hair is unusually lifeless and limp. Oh .. My ... God. I see what's happened. The alien symbiote that used to inhabit Daniel's hair realized that he's leaving, and detached itself and found a new home ... Chad!


Excuse me? MY nipples are way pointier!

Quinn and Brady make amends before it comes to blows (damn!), and Brady offers to give him a second chance, just "don't whore out any of my exes again."

Jennifer (wearing a gorgeous mauve coordinated coat and scarf) asks Daniel if he's leaving because of her, and he says, "Of course not. I have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to play the Maracas with Charo's band. How can I turn it down?

Chad turns down Kate's offer to be a model, but she tries to convince him to give it a try, since he's got "great bone structure, you're tall, you've got that brooding look, and your hair ... seems to have a life of its own." Chad is suspicious of Kate's motives, and thinks she's trying to get him back in the family fold.

Will turns down the offer to visit Unicorn Highway, and when Kareem and Dustin leave to get a drink, Sonny asks will, "What do you think?" Will says, "about what", and Sonny responds, "About Dustin." Will says he' seems like a great guy, etc., Sonny raises his eyebrows, and Will says, "wait, are you asking if i'm interested in him?" Sonny says, "Of course not. We can't have that kind of conversation for a few more months. I'm interested in him." Will says, "Oh totally, yeah, I can definitely see the two of you together." They have a very sweet conversation about Sonny making a move, and you know what? I say screw it to all the naysayers, Will and Sonny should be together! There, I said it. Discuss.

Kate tries to convince Chad that she has no ulterior motive, but one of Chad's possessed hair tendrils snaps him on the back of the neck, signaling that a lie is being told in his presence.

Madison finally tells Brady that Sami is a mole, and is working to undermine Kate. Brady is upset that Madison is just telling him this now, but when this was revealed last week, I thought it was brilliant. I never believed that Sami would be able to bury the hatchet so easily with Kate, so this is much more on par with a Sami move.

Kate tells Chad, "Well, you and Gabi are a package deal, so if you don't do it, Gabi will have her dreams crushed. Your call." Have I mentioned how much I love Kate? Chad tells Gabi that Kate is just using her to get to him, which doesn't help Gabi's self-esteem. Gabi tells Chad that the reason she's doing this is so she can show Will that she can be beautiful, and maybe he'll want her back. Oh Gabi. Honey. That unicorn ain't interested in your highway.

Kareem and Dustin are telling their coming-out stories. Dustin was giving concerts at age 6 dressed as Britney Spears (and destroying the family's umbrella collection), so his folks pretty much already knew. He asks Will what happened when he came out to his parents, and Will gets Diane Keaton-style flustered.

Before Will can go totally Flibbertigibbet, Sonny comes to his rescue, and turns the talk back to him. Kareem and Dustin get a call, and have to excuse themselves, and Sonny apologizes for Will being put on the spot. Will says," I don't care that they think i'm gay," and his eyes start to mist up in that endearing, and apparently required in every scene, Will Horton way.

A lot of stuff happened with the Hope/Bo/Key thing, but I didn't go into it because frankly, I'm tired of it.

Will comes home, wanders around the house for a bit, and then stares at a picture of him and his mother. He looks at his reflection in the mirror ... and spits on it. Actually, he spits above his reflection, which then dribbles down the mirror in awesomely dramatic fashion.

Maybe it's just me, but it's probably symbolism or something.

So ... where do we go from here? What do you think Will's next step will be?
