Tate’s Messy Matters of the Heart on the November 5 Days of Our Lives

Tate spent the Tuesday, November 5 episode of Days of Our Lives attempting to figure out what’s in his heart. Did he want to be with Sophia or Holly? With his dad’s help, he realized that his actions had landed him in a world of trouble and that there was no way he could get out of this without hurting someone.

Hashing Things Out

Tate (Leo Howard) knew he was between a rock (Holly) and a hard place (Sophia). And it was a mess he escalated when he slept with Sophia (Madelyn Kientz), knowing he hadn’t put his feelings for Holly (Ashley Puzemis) to bed, so to speak.

Brady (Eric Martsolf) did his best to help his son untangle his thoughts from his feelings. He gave his son advice based on his own mistakes and messy love life over the years. He simply wanted his son to be honest with himself. And the way Tate talked, it sounded like he leaned toward Holly.

However, Tate assured Sophia she wasn’t a rebound or second choice. Sophia needed to hear those words, so she took them to heart and even banked on them.

But here Tate is, having talked to Holly, who recently returned. She gave him the apology he needed to hear. And he felt she sounded truly sincere. But was it enough for him to turn his back on Sophia?

Heated Confrontation

Meanwhile, Sophia and Holly had a confrontation in their favorite place — the middle of Horton Town Square. Sophia was actually surprised to see Holly back in Salem. Both she and Tate honestly thought Holly was going to stay in Paris? Do they know Holly?

Holly admitted Tate hadn’t decided if he wanted to get back together. While Sophia was happy to hear that, she came super close to telling her ex-bestie that she slept with Tate. But the two parted without that little bit of information revealing itself.

Decision Made…Sort Of

Tate showed up at Maggie’s (Suzanne Rogers) to see Holly. He had an answer for her, and for a while, it felt like he wanted to reunite with his ex-girlfriend. Holly immediately hugged him, and they lived happily ever after, right? Wrong.

Tate, obviously, couldn’t bring himself to hurt Sophia, even though he clearly wanted to get back together with Holly. He decided to see how things played out with Sophia. There was no way he could break her heart after sleeping with her. He didn’t want to be that kind of jerk.

Unfortunately, he’ll prove to be another kind of jerk if his feelings aren’t really into making something with Sophia work. He likes her, but he likes Holly more. That’s basically what he figured out with his dad. Sophia’s a smart girl. Will she suss out Tate’s true feelings? Or live in a land of denial because she wants to be with Tate so bad?

What do you think Tate should do? Did he make the right decision? In other news, what did you think of Kate (Lauren Koslow) setting up Vivian (Louise Sorel)? And now that she knows the story, do you love that she will stay quiet and let Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) continue to play this ruse? And how do you feel about Rafe (Galen Gering) deciding to propose to Jada (Elia Cantu)? Do you think she’s hurt? What did Vivian do?
