On the October 29 episode of Days of our Lives, both Sarah and Xander were questioned about George’s shooting death, and where Xander got the gun he used, even if he did only shoot in self-defense. With both of them invoking their First Amendment rights, could a quickie wedding be in the cards?
Key Takeaways
- Xander killed George to defend Sarah, but they were breaking and entering, and his gun was unregistered.
- Jada and Shawn have questions about exactly what happened
- Will Sarah and Xander tie the knot to take advantage of a legal loophole?
Xander Protects Sarah
Xander (Paul Telfer) shot and killed George to keep Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) — and his incriminating laptop — safe. Jada (Elia Cantu) wants to know where Xander got the gun. Xander reminded that he’s a hero! Yes.
And where did he get the gun? Xander isn’t talking. Neither is Sarah, when Shawn (Brandon Beemer) questioned her. Sarah doesn’t care about procedures, laws, or even murder. Sarah is on Xander’s side. Forever. Especially now that Brady (Eric Martsolf) let Sarah know how she really feels, and nudged her toward Xander’s way. They’re a united front now!
Sarah and Xander Have One Trick Up Their Sleeves
Sarah and Xander were questioned separately by the police. We can imagine Sarah and Xander thinking that, next, they’ll be asked to testify against each other. And there is only one solution to that. At least, in soap land.
Soaps have always misunderstood how spousal privilege works. It’s not that once a couple is married, they can’t be made to testify against each other; it’s that any conversations that they have while married are privileged.
Why should Sarah and Xander understand the law any better than all the soap supercouples who came before them? Might they be headed for the altar… for all the wrong reasons?
