Days of our Lives Recap
In the square, Chanel worried about Theo. Johnny suggested they try to act like everything was okay, so Trey didn’t pick up on their energy. When she left to change Trey’s diaper, Johnny came face-to-face with EJ.
EJ told Johnny he was on his way to his apartment to see for himself that he was okay. He offered private security, but Johnny didn’t want it. EJ wanted Johnny’s help to maintain the company by being CEO to keep shareholder confidence high. Johnny was appalled that EJ was more concerned with stock prices than with people’s lives.
Chanel approached and heard what was up. She told EJ to take his job offer and shove it, and to stay away from her and her family. “You heard her,” Johnny shrugged as they walked away.
Jada came to see Rafe but noted it felt weird to be back at the Hernandez house. Rafe shared the photos of the wine room in the tunnel, showing that someone has been hiding out there. They didn’t think it was one of the prisoners, as Rafe knew EJ liked them bound and gagged, but thought it could be someone helping EJ do the kidnapping. They decided they needed to get back into the room.
Xander visited Marlena at the hospital and told her he was bothered by Sarah being with Brady. He shared that he’d signed the divorce papers, and, ironically, it was Brady who gave him the push to do so. Xander told Marlena that Brady reminded him that he needed to control his temper and be the person that Sarah and Victoria deserved, and knew he wasn’t there yet. But he worried that while he was trying to become a better man, Brady would move in on Sarah instead. Marlena suggested that Xander talk to Brady about it.
Xander told Marlena that he thought the separation would get easier in time, but instead it hurt more. Marlena noticed he was still wearing his wedding ring. She said he would take it off when he was ready, but Xander didn’t think he would ever be.
At home, Brady joined Sarah in the living room, wearing a robe while she was playing with Victoria, and he talked to her about his feelings about Rachel being in Bayview. Sarah received a letter from Rachel, apologizing for what she did. Brady insisted that it wasn’t enough and that Sarah needed more, but she reiterated that she was fine and had moved past it.
Brady said he just didn’t know what he would do if anything happened to Sarah. He moved in close like he was going to kiss her, but they were interrupted by Victoria dropping her toy train.
At the pub, Javi and Gabi chatted about Leo being a better person and how much Javi missed Trey. Javi implied that, with Tony gone, Gabi could make a play for the CEO role, but she had no intention of committing a felony or risking being separated from her daughter again. Gabi realized Javi is worried about losing someone else he cares about after losing Little T. She assured him it wouldn’t be her.
When Gabi left, she ran into Jada, who told her she and Rafe were on the case. Jada got a warrant to search the tunnels and ran off as Gavi looked quizzically.
Later,, when Javi came home, Rafe wondered out loud why each of the DiMeras would have been taken, especially the “good” ones. When Rafe said that the only one he could think of who would want Theo’s job was EJ, Javi got a strange look on his face, so Rafe wanted to know what he was thinking. Javi reluctantly revealed that Gabi felt cheated out of the CEO position, and worried as it gave her motive to take out both Tony and Theo. Gabi walked in on them talking and asked what was going on. Javi made a quick exit from the room.
When Chanel and Johnny got home, she apologized for overstepping, but Johnny was glad she spoke up to EJ and reiterated he wanted nothing to do with him. They went back to parenting and decorating for Christmas and anticipated a very happy holiday.
Jada went to EJ’s and informed him she had a warrant to search the premises. He let her in and took her to the wine room, but it was empty of any personal belongings. Jada said whoever had been staying in there would have known when it was safe or unsafe to be there.
Jada left EJ’s and called Rafe to tell him that the cot and clothes were all gone, and they were no further ahead in finding the missing DiMeras or who took them.
