Brand-new Days of Our Lives spoilers for October 3-7 promise a heart-pounding week as Salem citizens deal with the fallout of the shootout and try to stop the Terrible Trio once and for all.

The Softer Side of Evil
Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) has just about had it and breaks down in Steve’s (Stephen Nichols) arms when they can’t find Joey. Later in the week, they put their heads together with John (Drake Hogestyn) and Marlena (Deidre Hall) and flashback to their past with Orpheus. They’re trying to figure out how his mind works so they can finally catch the madman. Meanwhile, Orpheus (George DelHoyo) shows his softer side and opens up to Joey about his family and loss. By the end of week, Salemites prepare to meet the villainous demands.

Hope’s Nightmare
Hope (Kristian Alfonso) ends up meeting Aiden’s demands, devastating Rafe (Galen Gering) when she breaks things off with him. Rafe isn’t buying her act and does his best to get her back. Andre (Thaao Penghlis) also isn’t buying what Aiden is selling and wonders what else might be going on.

FOCUS!
However, these top cops should really focus on the madmen in Salem. Orpheus, Xander, and Clyde bond some more as they discuss their lives. Marlena has Kate help her with Clyde’s psychological profile, while Clyde (James Read) tells his new buddies he just wants to make things up to his son…

Teen Trouble!
Theo (Kyler Pettis) becomes another victim of the villains but not physically. He can barely handle what happened to Abe (James Reynolds) and disappears on a mission. This scares the heck out of Ciara (Vivian Jovanni), especially when he won’t return her texts.

What Did Deimos Do Now?
Chloe (Nadia Bjorlin) still can’t believe the results of her paternity test and tells Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) goodbye. She and Nicole (Arianne Zucker) discuss things and Nicole knows Chloe is hiding something. She then confronts Deimos (Vincent Irizarry) about his shady behavior.

Odds and Ends…
In other Salem news, Justin (Wally Kurth) demands that Adrienne (Judi Evans) move out of the DiMera mansion, while Gabi (Camila Banus) recognizes a looter.
