On the March 16 episode of Days of our Lives, Stephanie has finally been rescued. Rafe and Alex were the ones who noticed that EJ’s hospital basement had a secret room. Steve and Brady tracked down Owen at the park. Rafe and Alex rescued Stephanie. Steve and Brady brought Owen to the police station. Who needs cops?

Key Takeaways

  • Stephanie and Jeremy are no longer being held prisoner.
  • Brady interviewed Owen.
  • What is Jada for?

Free at Last

After Owen (Wes Ramsey) kidnapped Stephanie (Abigail Klein), Jeremy (Michael Roark) was the first person to track her down. Owen got the jump on him, too. Then, Steve (Stephen Nichols) and Brady (Eric Martsolf) hung out in the park until they could put Owen in a headlock.

Meanwhile, Rafe (Galen Gering) and Alex (Robert Scott Wilson) snuck back into University Hospital’s basement with a map and, luckily, stumbled into where Owen was keeping Stephanie and Jeremy. Sure, it was dumb luck on their part, but it was dumb luck with some thought behind it.

You Have the Right to Remain Silent

Even more interestingly, once Owen was in police custody, it was Brady who first questioned him. Um… what? Is Brady a cop? A lawyer?

What was his exact legal standing as he peppered Owen with questions? And what judge would accept Owen’s answers under those circumstances? Who approved this? What were they hoping to achieve?

Power Trip

After Steve and Brady accosted Owen in the park with no evidence or an arrest warrant — they mostly had a “feeling,” and that’s good enough in Salem — they dragged him down to the police station so Jada (Elia Cantu) could put cuffs on him.

Yay, for law and order! It made the police department look particularly ineffective. And hard to take seriously that she can keep Salem’s citizens safe.
