In the August 25 episode of Days of our Lives, Xander was all sweetness and light when Sarah told him she and Victoria would be moving in with Brady. But the minute she was out of sight — and out of hearing range — Xander showed his true rage. Is Brady risking a Philip beating rerun?

Key Takeaways

  • Xander is hiding his anger over Sarah and Victoria living with Brady.
  • Xander nearly beat Philip to death over his knowing something about Sarah.
  • Xander already threatened Brady over Sarah once — why not again?

Rage Monster: Xander Is On the Warpath

Xander (Paul Telfer) is off to the Father-Daughter Dance with Victoria! (Victoria is… two? Three? Granted, this is a soap and, for all we know, she’s already a teenager, but who goes to a dance with a preschooler?) He invited Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) to come and take pictures.

Sure, Sarah agreed. She’ll just go to Brady’s (Eric Martsolf), where Sarah and Victoria are now living, and get her stuff…. Great, Xander, who recently offered his own housing suggestion, cheered. At least, while Sarah could still see him. The fist he made after she left suggested Xander isn’t as chill with this as he pretended.

Look to the Past: The Brady and Philip Precedent

Xander beat Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) into a pulp when Philip told Xander Sarah had been lying to him. Xander was about to beat Brady with a baseball when he thought Brady had hit Sarah with his car. The point is, Sarah + Man Connected to Sarah = Xander Goes Nuts.

Is it about to happen again? Marlena (Deidre Hall) has been helping Xander work on his rage issues. Seems like the good doctor is facing failure. Xander may be a case too tough for even the great Dr. Evans. Does Xander think Sarah will forgive him yet again? (Odds are, yeah, she will…. but still….)
