VIVIAN SETS UP KATE AND NICHOLAS

It looks like Vivian's scheme to seduce Victor may go up in smoke this week on Days of Our Lives when Victor tells her he can't make it to the conference they were planning to attend together at the lodge.

"What's even worse is that Victor tells her that he is sending Kate in his place," Louise Sorel (Vivian) reveals. A furious Vivian refuses to throw in the towel. She runs into Nicholas and makes him a proposition: She'd like him to go to the conference in her place, therefore forcing Kate and Nicholas together for the weekend.

"Vivian's setting it up now so that Victor will wind up finding Kate and Nicholas in bed together," Sorel says of Vivian's newest scheme.

The duo have to BE together in order to sleep together, however. When Victor drops the bomb to Kate that she will have to go to the conference with Vivian, Kate balks at the idea of spending even a second with her archenemy. Victor persists, and Kate finally gives in.

With her plan unfolding even better than she expected, Vivian accompanies Victor to a celebratory lunch at Tuscany. "He can walk," Sorel explains, "and Vivian thinks this would be the ultimate surprise - in more ways than one - for Kate." Keeping her agenda hidden, Vivian manages to convince Victor to head up to the lodge with her immediately.

Meanwhile, at the lodge, Kate's relaxing swim in the pool is interrupted when Nicholas suddenly shows up. When he seductively slips out of his bathing suit, Kate, trying to resist her feelings for him, decides to hit the showers. Nicholas, determined to get what he wants, follows Kate, locks the door behind them, and does more than just scrub her back.

Meanwhile, Bo, Shawn, Lili, Eric, Greta, Mimi, Doug, Julie and Alice agree to join the Blacks on the quest to lay Princess Gina to rest and search for the missing Hope.

Later, Bart and Rolf - disguised as mechanics - manipulate their way onto the plane, where they proceed to cut wires and install switches. Soon after, the passengers arrive, unaware that their lives may be in grave danger.

By week's end, Rolf and Bart keep watch via television monitor as the plane heads toward its destination - and their devious plot unfolds.
