Days of our Lives Recap: Bombshell Schemes and Unfathomable Truths!

The Days of our Lives recap for Tuesday, May 14 features a day of regret, schemes, and horrifying consequences as your favorite Salemites tried to navigate some sticky situations.

Xander Won Large!
Brady (Eric Martsolf) had his hands full dealing with Xander (Paul Telfer). The no-good Kiriakis demanded the Titan CEO spot in exchange for Nicole’s freedom. Brady tried to stand his ground and shoot him down but quickly realized Xander held all the cards.

Thankfully, Brady found a compromise to give Xander SOME power but not ALL of it. He promised to make Xander an exec with a corner office, company car, and an iron-clad contract. Well, Xander was not handing over the tape unless and until the paperwork was signed.

As it turned out, Xander had more leverage than anyone could ever imagine. Back at his suite, he had a briefcase with Dr. Rolf’s diary!

Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) got quite the shock when she showed at Nicole’s (Arianne Zucker) door. Not only did Nicole not welcome her presence but she blamed Sarah for Holly’s death and accused her of going after Eric. Sarah was blindsided by the whole ordeal.

Eric Stood His Ground
Speaking of Eric (Greg Vaughan), he had a visit with his mom and it did not go well. Marlena (Deidre Hall) pushed him to reconsider trying to connect with Nicole. Yes, she lost Holly and her life was a mess, but isn’t Sarah the one he truly loves?

Bad New For Will!
When it came to bad days, no one had it worse than Will (Chandler Massey). Bombshell news dropped about his tumor and things got worse by the second. The mass was swelling (thankfully, not growing), rare, and caused by the memory serum! It looks like Will brought this on himself with that secret double dose.

Stefan Put On the Brakes!
Over at the DiMera mansion, Stefan (Brandon Barash) fought off another round of Gabi’s (Camila Banus) advances. He almost fell for her seductive ways but held it together when push really came to shove. Gabi realized she’d have to up her game to win him over!
