Bad news about Bo in the Thursday, May 22 episode of Days of Our Lives. Plus, Ari broke a little bad as she spent her birthday in bed with Doug III. And just after Holly coached the newest Brady Pub employee so he could get his GED. Brady and Belle debated the merits—or lack thereof—of backing EJ’s hospital bid versus Xander’s. And Shawn and Steve tracked down the Versivex to a warehouse that might also be a meth lab. With Bo’s health worsening, can the two men, plus John, get the drug in time?
Dark Web Research + Motherly Help
Hope (Kristina Alfonso) helped Shawn (Brandon Beemer) and Steve (Stephen Nichols) track down Asher, Kevin’s roommate. He has the entire load of Versivex after Kevin (Chadwick Hopson) stupidly gave it to him for safekeeping. Hope arrested Asher back in the day, and apparently, her efforts to rehabilitate him may not have worked because he seems up to his ears in this. Anybody who goes by the alias Mister Monkey has to be a shady guy, right?
Using the dark web, they discover there’s a drug on the black market that sounds a lot like Versivex, and so they head to a warehouse where they think they pinpointed Asher.

Bo and John
While down at the warehouse, Shawn gets a call from Hope, who breaks the news to her son that Bo’s (Peter Reckell) health is worse and they’re calling a priest in for Last Rites. As a result, Shawn is desperate to get into the warehouse and get the Versivex. Steve suddenly has an idea.
Later, John (the late Drake Hogestyn), who had just touched down in Salem after months of captivity, showed up at the warehouse, ready to go. Viewers only see the back of the man who’s wearing a hoodie. But Steve is all smiles and knows they can get the job done with John on their side.
Unfortunately, John wasn’t able to reunite with his family before heading to the warehouse. While he is there, Marlena (Deidre Hall), Belle (Martha Madison), and Brady (Eric Martsolf) are back at the townhouse where they think they are about to surprise John. Instead, the person who came through the door was Paul (Christopher Sean), who explained that Andrew (Colton Little) was being debriefed and John had a pitstop to make.

7 Burning Questions
What is up with Ari (Marissa Reyes)? Why does she not want to go through graduation?
Ari seems to be cool with her mom on the surface, but do you think she’s holding back any resentments toward Gabi (Cherie Jimenez)?
What did you think of John showing up to help save Bo?
Did you love Brady’s mention that he doesn’t want Melinda Trask (Tina Huang) as Tate’s (Leo Howard) adoption lawyer? After all, she was an integral force in helping Sloan Petersen (Jessica Serfaty) steal Nicole’s (Arianne Zucker) baby.
How amazing that the writers mentioned Zack? Loved this nod to history. Apparently, Asher went to preschool with Bo and Hope’s late son.
Did Brady actually say that it has been decades since Xander (Paul Telfer) tortured their family? And also, EJ and Xander both made Eric’s (Greg Vaughan) life hell!
What did you think of Doug III (Peyton Meyer) and Ari?
