Days of our Lives Recap: Laura Explained Everything

The Days of our Lives recap for Tuesday, February 2, 2021, features Laura’s shocking confession and Jack’s terrible reaction.

Days of our Lives Recap Highlights

Laura (Jamie Lyn Bauer) had a lot of explaining to do and it was not pretty. She took the ladies on a walk down memory lane to her encounters with Tiffany. It was the mother of all flashbacks with three ladies playing double rolls. Cady McClain played a younger Laura, Marci Miller portrayed new mom Jennifer, and Emily O’Brien donned a red wig and became Tiffany.

Laura’s Dubious Deception

As the story goes, Laura intercepted Tiffany when she came calling on Jack (Matthew Ashford). Tiffany was broke, mad, and ready to introduce the TV star to their daughter. Laura was not having it.

Laura duped the needy mom into meeting at the pub (which did not exist then, but sure), pretended to be Jack’s secretary, and offered her a boatload of money to go away. Tiffany agreed as long as the checks kept coming.

Laura was ashamed of her actions but there was no going back now. She did what she did to protect Jennifer and Abigail from the scandal. The ladies were mortified, though. Her actions ruined Gwen’s life.

Daddy Issues

Over at the hospital, Gwen and Jack went over the results. Yes, Jack, you are the father. He could not believe it. Jack then made the massive mistake of turning down a hug and demanding to know what Gwen really wanted. Or, more specifically, how much it would take to make her leave and never come back. Gwen lost it.

A Heated Search

In Chicago, Eli (Lamon Archey) and Lani (Sal Stowers) got their hands on Dr. Raynor (Victoria Platt). Things kept going off the rails, though. She no longer had the babies and had no idea where they were.

Raynor revealed she was blackmailed into taking the twins. The man behind the scheme made her do it but she had no idea who he was. She did mention he was working for his madame.

As for Ivan (Ivan G’Vera), he presented the babies to Vivian (Linda Dano). She was quite pleased with her manservant. No one would ever find them now (insert evil laugh).

A Broken Heart

Back in Salem, Nicole (Arianne Zucker) whined on Rafe’s (Galen Gering) shoulder. He threw her a pity party at his place. He made her breakfast and gave her temporary custody of their joint teddy bear. She was thankful to have a friend like him. Days of our Lives (DOOL) airs weekdays on NBC.
