The Aftermath of Lexie’s Shocking Comeback
In the sneak peek photos, the reading of Stefano’s (Joseph Mascolo) comes to a grinding halt as Lexie (Nikki Crawford) comes out of the secret tunnel. Abe (James Reynolds), Theo (Tyler Joseph Andrews), EJ (Daniel Feuerriegel), Chad (Conner Floyd), Kristen (Stacy Haiduk), Tony (Thaao Penghlis), and Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) are in shock seeing her alive.
Lexie looks rightfully very confused in one photo as EJ and Theo talk to her. Then Lexie begins to collapse, but EJ and Theo are there to prevent her from falling. One photo features Lexie lying in a chair as Abe, Theo, Chad, and EJ look at her and each other intensely.
Several photos reveal that Lexie is taken to the hospital. In a couple of images, Abe is full of emotion as he sits by his not-so-dead wife’s bedside. In one picture, Paulina (Jackée Harry) spies on them, and her look on her face speaks volumes.
Paulina does get some one-on-one time with her husband, but it doesn’t seem to calm her nerves. After all, Paulina knew about Lexie for months, and when the truth comes out, she’s going to be in hot water.
Other photos show Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) giving Paulina, Abe, and Theo an update on Lexie. There’s also an emotional moment between Abe, Theo, and Paulina.
Elsewhere at the hospital, EJ lands in the hot seat. Chad corners him at the hospital, and the brothers don’t look overly pleased with each other, especially when Cat (AnnaLynne McCord) arrives amid their tense talk. Cat gets EJ alone to have a little chat with her boss over recent events, but will he really answer any of her questions?
In true DAYS fashion, Leo (Greg Rikaart) is in the thick of all the DiMera chaos. Leo eavesdrops on a private conversation between EJ and Chad before getting busted and having to answer to both of them as well as Cat.
Chad has a private talk with his friend, but weekly spoilers tease that Chad has Leo’s back despite his snooping around. Leo and Cat have a couple of private conversations, too. One at the DiMera mansion and another at the hospital. Could it be that these two might start working together?
The other major news from the photos is that Dr. Rolf (Richard Wharton) is back in Salem. Dr. Rolf is shocked upon finding Lexie’s bed at the mansion empty. Both EJ and Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) learn that the mad scientist is in Salem. Considering the tension between Kristen and EJ, it wouldn’t be a surprise if Kristen brought Dr. Rolf back for her own gain, which would certainly test his loyalty to the DiMera siblings.
While everyone else is focused on Lexie, Tony and Gabi face off. Gabi can be seen pointing a finger at Tony in one picture, likely referring to his double-crossing her and her desire for payback. She better be careful, though, because Tony can blow up her relationship with Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) in an instant.
