Happy Homecoming
Sydney DiMera (Sydney Malakeh) returns to Salem. She strolls into the Brady Pub, where Mason (Brandon Butler) is sitting alone at a table. “Welcome home, Ms. DiMera,” Rita (Maggie Carney) says in the voiceover.
Game On
Meanwhile, in Monte Carlo, the high-stakes poker game gets underway. Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) looks a tad anxious as play gets underway. “The action is to you, sir,” announces a woman at the table. Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) looks on, and Philip makes his next move.
A Mystery Box
It looks like Chad (Conner Floyd) and Belle (Martha Madison) are making headway during their Italian trip, specifically with the mysterious clues one of Stefano’s minions has been feeding them. It leads the pair to find an old box. Chad opens it as Belle looks on, smiling.
Marino vs. DiMera
Meanwhile, Rita looks up at Stefano’s portrait in the DiMera living room and announces, “It’s playing out as you planned, sir.”
Italian billionaire Dominic Marino is hours away from purchasing the Kiriakis estate…But is the sale really going to go through? “Marino means of the sea,” Marlena (Deidre Hall) reveals to someone.
The action switches back to Marlena, who says, “So does DiMera.” Is there somehow a connection between the Marinos and the DiMeras? Only time will tell.
