In the Days of our Lives recap for Friday, January 5, 2024, EJ can’t be swayed into seeing sense or granting Tate an ounce of mercy.
Days of our Lives Recap Highlights
In addition, Xander propositioned Sarah (not in the way you might be thinking), Theresa and Brady did their best to calm their son’s fears, and Tripp seriously disappointed Wendy. Luckily, she remained her same, understanding self. Now, let’s dig a little deeper into what happened.
Blame Game
At the police station, Tate (Jamie Martin Mann) begged the aghast adults arguing amongst themselves to stifle and tell him what was going to happen to him. Justin (Wally Kurth) explained that Tate be sent to the juvenile hall while he worked furiously on filing an appeal.
No so fast, hissed EJ (Dan Feuerriegel). Tate will be charged as an adult — despite his 16 years — and remanded to the local jail. As for what exactly Tate is being charged with, how about attempted murder? Or manslaughter, should the worse come to worst?

Tate blubbered, Theresa (Even Donovan) pleaded his case, and Alex (Robert Scott Wilson) called EJ’s credibility into question. EJ insisted to Tate that even if the drugs weren’t his, he was still responsible for Holly’s (Ashley Puzemis) plight as he failed to dial 911 and get her immediate help. And hiding the drugs she OD on didn’t help matters either.
Rafe (Galen Gering) demanded to speak with EJ in private and attempted to ascertain just why EJ was on a crusade against a “poor kid.” Does it make him feel good? Does it lift his spirits? And what if the roles were reversed and someone was trying to railroad Johnny (Carson Boatman) in a similar matter?

Despite the Commish’s best efforts, EJ wouldn’t be dissuaded. In fact, he derived pleasure from watching cowering Tate being dragged away from his parents.
Change Of Address
Meanwhile, Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) enjoyed waking up to the smells from Xander’s (Paul Telfer) cooking, even if she didn’t appreciate his pronouncement of the word scone. Soon the two were debating the pros and cons of Sarah moving herself and Victoria Margaret into Xander’s spare room as well as the “10-ton elephant in the room” that is the kiss they shared the previous night.
At first, Sarah argued they’d merely gotten caught up in the fireworks and the celebratory feeling. Then the two admitted they’d been wanting something like that to happen for some time now. And yes, the kiss was amazing. But, Sarah was scared. Scared of going too fast and falling madly in love and regretting it. Xander promises it’ll all work itself out. They will just have to agree to respect each other’s boundaries moving forward. Agreed? Agreed!
Goodbye Is The Hardest Word
Opposite, Tripp (Lucas Adams) returned home to Wendy (Victoria Grace) who gushed excitedly about their upcoming sojourn to Hong Kong. Yeah…about that. Tripp is no longer going. He’s got that sinking feeling that something’s up with his mother — namely that she’s peddling the drugs that landed Holly in a coma.
Wendy was more than understanding. Family is important, and she gets that Tripp feels like he has to take care of his mother. That’s how she feels about her own parents. But what does that mean for them?
Tripp suggested that they can make long-distance work; Wendy isn’t so sure. It sounded nice and doable. But, once there’s an ocean between them, it won’t be the same. Therefore, she gave Tripp permission to move on if he so chooses.
