MORE: This DAYS scene had fans reminiscing.
Theo’s Confession to Marlena
Theo (Tyler Joseph Andrews) knows that his mom, Lexie (Niki Campbell), is back from the dead. He quit his job at DiMera over it. But he isn’t ready to tell Abe (James Reynolds) about her.
But Theo also isn’t comfortable keeping such big news to himself. So Theo turns to Marlena (Deidre Hall), figuring doctor-client privilege will be in play. Except Marlena isn’t Theo’s doctor.
Alex’s Surprise for Stephanie
Stephanie (Abigail Klein) is still recovering from her post-kidnapping trauma. Alex (Robert Scott Wilson) wishes there was something he could do to help.
Stephanie hasn’t liked any of his suggestions so far. So Alex plans a special surprise for his wife. It doesn’t go well.
Kristen’s Vengeful Plot Against EJ
Kristen (Stacey Haiduk) knows who’s to blame for Rachel’s (Lorelei Olivia Mote) most recent commitment to Bayview. Rachel wouldn’t even be there if she hadn’t tried to shoot EJ (Dan Feuerriegel). And Rachel wouldn’t have tried to shoot EJ if he hadn’t been so tall, and thus such an easy target.
Kristen is going to make EJ pay. And she would really like him to know that.
Paulina’s Political Pressure on Belle
Paulina (Jackée Harry) is the mayor of Salem. Belle (Martha Madison) is the District Attorney. Paulina seems to think that means Belle should deliver whatever Paulina wants. And if she can’t, well then, she must be doing it on purpose.
Why isn’t EJ in jail yet?
Xander and Gwen’s Miserable Alliance
Xander (Paul Telfer) is sad because Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) is now with Brady (Eric Martsolf). Gwen (Emily O’Brien) is sad because Dimitri (Peter Porte) has changed his mind about divorcing her — and giving Gwen pots of money as a goodbye gift.
So they’re both sad. But when they’re together, they pretend to be happy. Maybe that will even be true one day.
