On the June 10 episode of Days of our Lives, Tate was excited to get his first paying self-defense class client. Gwen! She wants to learn some skills to keep EJ from killing her. (Does Tate have moves to dodge bullets? Like that Christian Bale movie, Equilibrium?) But could this professional relationship turn into something more?
Key Takeaways:
- Gwen’s relationship with Xander is built on lies
- Holly continues to spiral, much to Tate’s dismay
- Gwen and Tate have a tendency to make bad romantic decisions when they’re upset
Any Day Now
EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) told Gwen (Emily O’Brien) that Xander (Paul Telfer) was sleeping with Kristen (Stacy Haiduk). EJ told the truth, but Xander and Kristen talked their way out of it. Nonetheless, Gwen and Xander’s relationship has an expiration date, and we all know it. When Gwen finds out she’s been betrayed by yet another man — and by a woman Gwen considers a friend — she is going to go scorched earth. And do something drastic.
Work Out
Tate (Leo Howard) and Holly (Ashley Puzemis) were having a sexy workout session when Gwen came in, and Holly walked out —right into a vindictive Amy (Shi Ne Nielson), who told Holly she still intended to see her punished for Sophia’s (Rachel Boyd) “suicide.” Cue Holly going off the deep end, yet again, which has, in the past, meant freezing Tate out.
Let’s All Row Together, Like the Princeton Crew
So if Gwen is angry and Tate is frustrated… well, these two have a tendency to turn to the nearest person for comfort — remember Tate and Sophia? It could be an interesting plot development and a fun cougar twist, except that O’Brien has also played Teresa, Tate’s mother. What happens when she returns to Salem from prison… and viewers get really squicked out?
