In the Thursday, May 1 episode of Days of Our Lives, Gabi stayed busy clashing with Leo, Javi, and Philip. She also had time to order Alex to create the perfect “platonic” date for them. And Xander and Alex commiserated over getting Philip out of Titan. Meanwhile, Kayla, Steve, and Shawn all worried about this miracle drug that could cure Bo’s sepsis. As a result, Shawn brainstormed what he thinks is a brilliant idea. It could get him in trouble.
A Salem Heist
First, it was nice seeing Shawn (Brandon Beemer) thank Jada (Elia Cantu) for keeping him company the night before. It was smart considering what happened the last time Shawn spiraled because of what he did to his dad. She made sure that he didn’t flounder enough that he turned to drink.
But he continued to blame himself and won’t stop until Bo (Peter Reckell) returns to them healthy and whole. So it’s not shocking to hear him come up with an extreme way to save his father. We actually love that this was his brainstorm.
Instead of letting someone else handle the dangerous heroics, he enlisted Steve (Stephen Nichols). And he wouldn’t let his father’s bestie push him out of the plan because he’s a cop. Instead of angsting over shooting his dad, he’s doing something about it. Sure, it’s illegal, but he’s doing it for the greater good of his family. And, yes, it’s something that Bo would totally do.
In just one conversation, plotting a heist spices up his character. He could get in trouble, although Police Commissioner Hunter might look the other way. Shawn is stepping up and doing whatever it takes to bring his dad home to Salem — alive. Hopefully, we’ll get to see Steve and Shawn break into the lab and elude security, and narrowly escape with the drug in hand. We’re excited to see this play out. It should make for a dramatic and exciting story. And so we love this story for Brandon Beemer.
Steve’s question is whether he will tell Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) about this plan before executing it or simply ask for forgiveness afterward.

5 Burning Questions
-Should Leo (Greg Rikaart) and Javi (Al Calderon) move out of Rafe’s place? Accusing somebody of attempted murder while a guest in their house is ejectable as far as we’re concerned.
-Will this rift between Xander (Paul Telfer) and Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) last forever? Xander has every right to be angry, but frankly, he’s done worse.
-What’s the deal with the manuscript that Stephanie (Abigail Klein) wrote and Alex (Robert Scott Wilson) discovered? Where is this leading?
-Wasn’t there another office Philip could have worked in at DiMera?
-Do you think JJ (Casey Moss) will actually get jealous over Gabi’s (Cherie Jimenez) date with Alex?
