Days of our Lives has Chad and Belle focused on the mysterious chess set that Stefano left for John and Marlena in his will. The burgeoning new couple caught a break, but it was definitely not one they expected.
Key Takeaways
- A new clue literally dropped into Belle’s lap.
- Chad and Belle made a shocking discovery.
- Why Stefano just upped the game from beyond the grave.
Following The Clues
Ever since Chad (Conner Floyd) and Belle (Martha Madison) found the hidden drawer in the chessboard, they have been following breadcrumbs left by Stefano (Joseph Mascolo). Each new clue leads to more questions than answers for the investigating duo.
The latest clue came after a mystery man literally dropped a Verdi program into Belle’s hands after the couple watched the concert in Horton Town Square. Belle and Chad later discovered a Celtic cross on the Lire they found, but that wasn’t even the big news.
Chad and Belle realized that these clues from Stefano are playing out in real time in the present, instead of pointing to the past. It was a game-changing moment for both of them for more than one reason.
The Investigation Has Shifted
When the new couple realized the game Stefano set in motion was happening now, Chad and Belle had to shift how they moved forward. The danger factor just got real. It has everything to do with Stefano’s power being alive and well today.
Belle and Chad thought they were deciphering clues based on the past. That the game was laid out perfectly by Stefano years ago, not that the chessboard would activate the game in the present day.
The fact that they realized this somewhat early on matters more than the clues they are uncovering now. For Chad and Belle, the stakes just got higher because every single clue that follows will need to be looked at differently and more closely.
What started as simply figuring out why Stefano left this chessboard to John (Drake Hogestyn) and Marlena (Deidre Hall) has turned into a dangerous mystery. Now that they know Stefano put a different plan in motion than they thought, Belle and Chad need to change course.
In fact, Chad will need to start thinking like his father. After all, Chad knows exactly how evil and manipulative his father can be, and that could be the one major advantage they have in solving this latest Stefano puzzle.
