Days of our Lives Recap: Father, Is That Really You?

The Days of Our Lives recap for Monday, January 13, 2020, features a heartwarming and strange reunion, a hunt for allies, a bombshell confession, and a shocking plan to save Ben’s life.

Days of our Lives Recap Highlights

It was an unbelievable day for Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) as she tried to wrap her head around the SteVano situation. Her father was back but in Steve Johnson’s body and hiding among them in plain sight.

She didn’t want to believe it and it took a lot of convincing, but she eventually came around. She cried, she yelled, and then she accepted the fact Stefano now looks like Steve.

Chad And His Mission: Control

SteVano’s other child wasn’t as happy. Chad (Billy Flynn) was getting irked his father had yet to see him face to face but went to visit his sister instead. He decided to play hardball and went to try and get Kate on his side. He offered her a lucrative deal but she turned him down flat.

Abigail (Kate Mansi) took matters into her own hands and ran off to Kristen’s room. She steeled herself to confront her father-in-law but couldn’t bring herself to knock on the door — at least not yet.

Ben: Let’s Get Outta Here

Meanwhile, at the prison, Ben (Robert Scott Clifton) got a shock when Clyde showed him some support. He was facing the death penalty but Clyde had a better idea. He suggested they make a break for it. Better to be on the run than facing the chamber, right?

Their planning ended when Will (Chandler Massey) came into the room. Ben updated him on how things went down and how he’s truly facing the death penalty. In fact, it’s only a matter of time before he’s walked down the dark hall to his death. Unless, of course, a miracle (or a breakout) happens.

An Innocent Man

Over in the hospital, Ciara (Victoria Konefal) got the shock of her life when Victor (John Aniston) and Xander (Paul Telfer) told her their secret. Yes, an innocent man is in jail, but it’s not Ben – it’s Will!

They set him up to take the fall for Adrianne’s death. They didn’t kill her and they know who did. They told her everything (off-screen, of course). Days of our Lives (DOOL) airs weekdays on NBC. Check your local listings for airtimes.
