Days of Our Lives: 5 Pivotal Moments From The Week of July 8 – 12

Soap opera stories either crawl or fly by, meaning that sometimes we have to miss big developments. Never fear, Soap Hub is here to fill you in on what you missed last week on Days of Our Lives.

So Long Claire
Claire’s (Olivia Rose Keegan) family found themselves sitting on pins and needles as they waited to hear whether the judge handling Claire’s case would give the teen jail time or sentence her to Bayview, a mental health facility.

Luckily for Claire, the judge decided that the young woman would greatly benefit from counseling rather than a harsh prison term. So, after making peace with her would-be victims, Claire was escorted to her new home by Belle (Martha Madison) and Shawn (Brandon Beemer).

Eve (Kassie DePaiva) nearly gave in to her darker impulses when she tried to smash Claire’s cell phone which contained the damning voicemail that Eve left her partner in crime. Jack (Matthew Ashford) caught Eve in the act and convinced her that she needed to do the right thing.

And Eve did — sort of — when she called a press conference to announce that all charges against Ben (Robert Scott Wilson) were being dropped. However, Eve threw Eli (Lamon Archey) under the bus for his “mishandling” of the arson investigation.

JJ (Casey Moss) found himself evicted from his apartment by a racist landlord who was displeased that Haley (Thia Megia) was not deported. Tripp (Lucas Adams) offered him (and Haley) Claire’s old bedroom at the loft.

Despite some misgivings about staying in the room of Haley’s would-be murder, the duo decided that beggars can’t be choosers and agreed to move in.

Frame Job
After tailing (and then losing) Xander (Paul Telfer), Hope was able to locate and free Kate and Ted. During questioning the two rescued hostages told Hope they had been kidnapped by a DiMera.

But rather than reveal Kristen’s involvement they fingered Stefan (Brandon Barash)! Days of Our Lives airs weekdays on NBC. Check your local listings for airtimes.
