Days of Our Lives Daily Recap 11-4

At the DiMera mansion, Kristen is on the phone with Dr. Rolf discussing a serum needed for Sarah, which Xander won’t get unless he follows her plan. Brady enters mid-call, possibly overhearing her. Meanwhile, at the Black household, Holly and Tate reconnect, though there’s some awkwardness. Tate admits he spent the previous night with Sophia.

In Horton Town Square, Sophia daydreams about Tate, while at a hotel, Kate plans to surprise her son Philip, only to find Vivian in his room. The two argue over their shared connection to Philip. At the Kiriakis home, Xander talks to Victor’s portrait about killing Philip, and Philip overhears, offering him a gun to do it. Their conversation escalates, but when Xander pulls the trigger, the gun isn’t loaded.

Kristen meets Brady, who brings a gift for Rachel. She lies about her call with Dr. Rolf but hints at the serum’s importance. Brady is suspicious of her altruistic motives, unaware she’s leveraging the serum to manipulate him.

In another part of town, Ava advises Sophia to be cautious with her new relationship with Tate, concerned she’s moving too quickly. But Sophia refutes that stating she told Tate she will be no one’s consolation prize. Back at the Black household, Holly tells Tate she thought he hated her after a misunderstanding. She apologizes and hopes to make things right between them.

Vivian and Kate continue sparring about Philip’s future, while Xander and Philip confront each other over Sarah’s condition. Xander blames Philip’s mother for Sarah’s predicament, and though he threatens to kill Philip, he ultimately doesn’t.

The episode ends with a string of tense moments: Rachel pleads with Kristen to reunite as a family, while Tate remains conflicted about his feelings for Holly. Kate contemplates her son’s situation, realizing she may be forced to ally with Vivian. Meanwhile, Tate confides in Brady about Holly’s apology, and Sophia hints that she has something important to tell Holly, leaving us on a cliffhanger.
