In the Days of our Lives recap for Wednesday, January 24, 2024, Kristen and Brady clashed over Rachel when Kristen admitted she’s still in love with Brady.

Days of our Lives Recap Highlights

In addition, Alex tried to talk Theresa out of leaving Salem. Before Leo’s photo shoot with Eric, the Lady Whistleblower taunted Sloan. Also, Jada, Rafe, and Harris updated each other on their fight against Salem’s drug epidemic. Now let’s dig a little deeper into what happened.

Visitation Frustration

In Horton Town Square, Brady (Eric Martsolf) met up with Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) and Rachel (Finley Rose Slater) for a supervised visit and a movie (check out what Eric Martsolf has to say about his character here).

Leo (Greg Rikaart) happened upon the trio at their table. He expressed happiness over them getting back together. Of course, Rachel quickly (really quickly) corrected Leo. She told him her parents weren’t together and she didn’t want them together ever.

When Brady asked Rachel about not wanting her parents to get back together, she talked about how she didn’t like them fighting all the time. Understanding her reason, he just wanted her to know that, for him, it was all about spending more time with her.

Weirdly, Rachel was okay with the occasional visit, which caused him to privately accuse Kristen of turning Rachel against him, something Kristen denied. In fact, Kristen claimed not to understand why Brady was so angry when talking to her.

Love and Rejection

Later, Kristen tried to suss out whether Brady and Theresa were reconnecting, but Brady shut down that thought. He and Theresa weren’t getting back together soon, just like he and Kristen were never getting back together.

Kristen didn’t take too kindly to the never getting back together part. He brought up her having tricked him into having a baby with her. Kristen just wanted Brady to let all of that go, all of the ugly parts of their past, for Rachel’s sake. Because she still loved Brady. Brady let Kristen know what he’s looking for in a woman, and that woman wasn’t her.

Red-Eye or Bust?

Alex (Robert Scott Wilson) spotted Theresa (Emily O’Brien) packing for California and pleaded his case for her to stay in Salem. She felt she needed to get away from the things that led to her relapse. But Alex insisted that running 2,000 miles away wasn’t the cure she thought it would be.

He also apologized for thinking she had feelings for Brady. Clearly, he didn’t read the room enough to realize this was no time for the jealousy act. Ultimately, she let Alex know she didn’t have feelings for Brady. The kiss they shared — that Alex already forgave her for — was a drug-fueled mistake.

Alex became frantic, opening up to Theresa about his own issues. He didn’t want to come up with excuses but he knew he hadn’t been the best boyfriend. And, he attributed that to his whole life changing after finding out he was Victor’s (John Aniston) son and Justin (Wally Kurth) wasn’t his real dad.

Theresa was the one to blame herself for the mess they were in, not Alex. Alex admitted to his being flawed and maybe they should work on their flaws together. The two had sex on the couch and then afterward, she decided to stick around Salem. What’s more, Alex confessed he’s starting to fall in love with Theresa.

Photo Opportunity

At Sloan (Jessica Serfaty) and Eric’s (Greg Vaughan), the lawyer was finally up and raring to go. She had a new client to meet but before she left, she brought up her disastrous dinner party. And even though Eric let her know Marlena (Deidre Hall) and John (Drake Hogestyn) totally understood she was nervous, she was absolutely mortified.

In addition, Sloan wasn’t the only one to have a new client. Eric’s photography business had its first client: Lady Whistleblower, AKA Leo Stark. Sloan didn’t look happy.

Leo arrived, instantly making Sloan nervous. And Leo took every opportunity to make her nervous. But he needed photos for his return as Lady Whistleblower. Sloan decided to stick around for a while. Alone, Leo called Sloan on her fake mother act. And that he might not be the best person but he had a heart unlike her. After a few not-so-veiled taunts, insults, and threats, Sloan left anyway.

Once the photo shoot with the photogenic (Eric’s word) columnist ended, Leo read Sloan’s threatening text and on his way out of the apartment, he looked at Jude and hinted at a scandal waiting to be exposed.

Coming Clean and Holding Back

At the police station, Rafe (Galen Gering) along with Jada (Elia Cantu) and Harris (Steve Burton) talked about the drug epidemic. Per Rafe, Ava (Tamara Braun) and Stefan (Brandon Barash) were on their way to the station to talk about The Bistro and the drug wave. Harris updated them on what went down with him and Clyde. He felt they should be targeting Clyde rather than Ava and Stefan.

While Harris took a call, Rafe wondered where Jada was the evening before. They were supposed to get together but she didn’t show up. Jada made some excuse that Rafe didn’t go for. So Jada came clean and told him about what happened with Theresa relapsing and finding her at a shady motel.

Rafe understood Jada wanted to keep what happened with Theresa on the down low. Then Harris walked in and reported he got Lucas moved for his own safety. He didn’t fess up the location because of the dirty cop allegedly feeding Clyde secret info like The Bistro drug raid.
