Days of our Lives‘ Joy just added a new layer to her paralysis, raising red flags and suspicions. Joy is afraid that Sarah will discover something in more tests. The fear led Joy to reach out to her father for help. Craig has no idea the real reason his daughter asked him for medication, which brings up an even bigger question regarding what Joy doesn’t want Sarah to find out.
Key Takeaway
- Joy is worried about what Sarah’s test will uncover.
- She agreed to the test because of Alex.
- After researching nerve testing, Joy reached out to her father.
The Worry Was Written All Over Joy’s Face
On Monday’s episode of DAYS, Joy (AlexAnn Hopkins) seemed absolutely terrified when Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) mentioned she wanted to do a nerve test on Joy after examining her. Joy’s paralyzed, and Sarah hoped to get more answers for Joy from the test, like whether it’s permanent or temporary.
The fact that Joy immediately protested was an instant red flag. However, her reason made sense. Joy has been poked and prodded ever since she learned about the swelling on her spine.
Ultimately, Joy gave in after Alex (Robert Scott Wilson) pleaded that she needed to have the test done for Kelsey (Lena Chase and Mira Chase). Once Alex brought up their daughter, Joy was basically backed into a corner and had to agree to the test.
Joy’s Actions Bring Up One Question
Once she was alone, Joy researched nerve testing. Then she called her doctor father, Craig (Kevin Spirtas), and asked him for muscle relaxers. Those two moves sounded alarm bells, especially since Joy lied to her father about why she needed the pain pills.
Instead of coming clean about her spinal surgery and paralysis, Joy declared she pulled a muscle in her back. Joy has been keeping her family in the dark about her medical crisis since it happened.
When she was doing research, Joy clearly learned something that made her instantly need or, at the very least, want the muscle relaxers, and she couldn’t ask Sarah for them. Joy’s fear of what Sarah could learn raises the question of whether Stephanie’s (Abigail Klein) paranoia about Joy was right.
DAYS fans know that Joy has been fantasizing about a life with Alex and taking him away from Stephanie. Based on her recent actions, it’s easy to assume that Joy may be up to no good. Then again, Joy’s fear could have nothing to do with Alex but rather her own health.
