What to Watch
The arrival of Dominic (Kyle Pryor) in Salem is obviously not to be missed, especially since the first thing he does is meet with Rita (Maggie Carney). Dominic has been a hot topic with Marlena (Deidre Hall) and EJ (Daniel Feuerriegel), who are desperate for answers about the mystery man.
Another must-see is what happens with Xander (Paul Telfer) and Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) following their reunion. Not only does Brady (Eric Martsolf) want more answers from Sarah, but the Salem PD doesn’t seem to be letting Xander off the hook for having an unlicensed gun. Lani’s (Sal Stowers) words for Xander only seem to confirm that Xander was right and Jada (Elia Cantu) was looking to charge him with something.
Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) backsliding also has our attention. Ever since he unlocked his inner gambler to win the money to save Titan and the Kiriakis estate, Philip has been fighting his gambling demon. It looks like he gives in to that demon, which forces him to keep a secret from Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) just as they are finding happiness as a couple again.
The fallout of EJ and Johnny (Carson Boatman) disowing each other is still front and center. It’s intriguing that Sydney (Sydney Malakeh) works with her brother on a mystery and also puts EJ in the hot seat. Does the mystery have to do with their father?
Speaking of Johnny, knowing he gets help from Chad (Conner Floyd) and Theo (Tyler Joseph Andrews) piqued our interest as well. After all, Theo has been furious with Johnny. Perhaps their dislike of EJ and desire to do the right thing brings them together.
Last but not least, what is Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) up to? Kristen told Lani and Brady she was leaving town, but she’s still sticking around. Halloween had her lurking around in a costume for some reason, and now she ends up secretly at Lexie’s (Nikki Crawford) memorial. It all points to Kristen making one big move before she says goodbye to Salem.
