We have seen this happen a few times before. Sami rages at EJ. Sami thinks EJ is the worst person who ever existed. Sami gradually forgets why she hates him so much. Sami remembers how much he loves their kids. EJ decides he wants Sami back- and then he does this:
Step 1:
Create situation where you are alone with her. Unnecessarily unbutton shirt- she finds you more attractive than usual but isn’t quite sure why.

Step 2:
Take a position you know Sami will disagree with (and that you disagree with yourself) and then let her win the argument. In this case it was “we should go back to Salem”. She gets worked up, and she thinks you are super unselfish for conceding her point. Go ahead and make fun of her light heartedly while you’re at it, so she lets her guard down:

Step 3:
Wine. Always wine. Over wine, go ahead and mention how much you count on her support and otherwise flatter her ego.

Step 4:
Self deprecation. Say how horrible you are/have been, etc. and get her to stop you and disagree. Thank her by grabbing her hand or initiating some personal contact.

Step 5:
Now that she’s putty in your hands, touch her face, and if she doesn’t recoil, kiss her until she kisses you back. Boosh! Congratulations! You just completed the EJ 5 step plan to getting Sami back whenever you want.
