Today’s Days of Our Lives is filled with tense confrontations, shocking revelations, and unexpected twists as the drama continues to unfold in Salem.
Ava’s captivity takes a haunting turn as she struggles in her chair, screaming for help. Just as she thinks her rescue is near, Brady bursts in—but it’s a dream. Ava wakes up, still tied up, and curses in frustration. She starts shouting again, but the only response she gets is the eerie Woman in White, who calmly tells Ava that no one is coming for her. Ava tries to convince her captor that Brady will know she didn’t send the breakup text, but the Woman in White is unshaken. She continues to manipulate Ava, spinning a web of lies about how Ava supposedly ran off to China, even suggesting that Ava could make it true by actually going to Hong Kong herself. But Ava’s offer to remove herself from the equation is met with suspicion. The Woman in White isn’t buying it and, since she’s bored, decides Ava will stay and keep her company for now. She puts the gag back in place, leaving Ava trapped in her nightmare.
Meanwhile, Kristen and Brady are at the DiMera mansion, preparing to take Rachel to therapy. Brady is exhausted, and Kristen, ever observant, suggests that he’s still upset over Ava’s sudden departure. Brady snaps, not wanting to talk about it, but Kristen presses on, saying she doesn’t like seeing him hurt. Brady remains confused as to why Ava didn’t just tell him the truth before she left, and Kristen suggests he text her to ask. After a brief exchange, Brady does just that, while Kristen goes to fetch Rachel’s backpack. However, in a shocking twist, she finds Ava’s phone and starts reading through the messages. To her horror, she realizes that Rachel was behind all of them. Kristen’s discovery only deepens the mystery, but she hides it when Brady comes back, covering her tracks with a lie about not feeling well. She insists Brady take Rachel to her therapy session while she rests, and as soon as he leaves, Kristen rushes out the door to follow her own agenda.
In the Hernandez household, Jada is still reeling from her suspension, which has left her in shock. She’s frustrated that Rafe isn’t answering her calls, and when EJ, lying in bed, finally contacts Arnold, he tells him the next move is to take Jada’s place. Arnold is hesitant, but EJ insists it’s crucial to finish what they’ve started. Just as he’s about to hang up, Belle enters the room and overhears the conversation. EJ tries to downplay it, but Belle sees through the facade, knowing the entire scandal has EJ’s fingerprints all over it. Belle confronts EJ about using Rafe to sabotage Jada’s career, and while EJ tries to justify it, Belle is disgusted. She still can’t understand why EJ would hire Rafe, but he explains that it was the only way to make sure the evidence against Jada would be irrefutable. Belle is appalled, but their argument quickly shifts to something more personal as they end up tangled in each other’s arms.
Afterward, EJ cracks a joke about Sami, and Belle smacks him playfully. She’s adamant that they won’t live in fear of Sami, but EJ suggests that maybe they should come up with a backup plan. Belle insists they’re not hiding from anyone, especially Sami, and that they have nothing to fear. As Belle heads to take a shower, EJ makes plans to go get pastries, seemingly content with how things are unfolding.
At Jada’s place, Steve pays her a visit, offering his support as she grapples with the fallout from the scandal. He reassures her that he doesn’t believe the accusations, and he promises to help clear her name. Jada remains stunned by the turn of events, particularly the involvement of Rafe. Steve believes that EJ hired Rafe and planted the evidence, but they need to find a way to prove it. Steve has some ideas and vows to get started on the case right away. But first, he plans to check in on Kayla, giving Jada some hope that help is on the way.
Meanwhile, Belle heads to the DiMera mansion for breakfast and runs into Jada. The two have a tense exchange, and Jada pleads with Belle not to believe the accusations against her, insisting that EJ is the one behind it all. Just as Belle is about to leave, EJ walks in, and Jada is quick to ask where he’s been. The tension between the two is palpable, and Jada’s desperation is clear.
Down in the tunnels, EJ brings breakfast to the real Rafe, who remains captive. He gleefully updates Rafe on the destruction of Jada’s career and marriage, telling him that Arnold is taking over Rafe’s old job. Rafe, however, is far from impressed, dismissing Arnold as incapable of running the police department. EJ laughs, relishing in the chaos he’s created as he feeds Rafe.
In another shocking moment, Paulina arrives at Arnold’s door, determined to find out which police detective handed Rafe the evidence that ruined Jada. “Rafe” pretends to be devastated over the situation, playing the role of the betrayed lover. He insists that he can’t reveal the identity of his source, despite Paulina’s pressure. But when Paulina pushes him to hire a temporary commissioner, Arnold reluctantly agrees, and Paulina, left with no other option, hires him on the spot.
The day takes a dark turn when Steve runs into Brady at the hospital, where they discuss Rachel’s therapy appointment. Brady thanks Steve for his unintentional help in tracing Ava’s text messages back to Rachel. But when Steve calls Tripp to ask about Ava, he’s thrown off by the strange news: Ava is in Hong Kong? Tripp never mentioned anything about that when they last spoke. As the mystery deepens, Ava struggles once more in her chair, and Kristen arrives, revealing that she tracked down Ava’s location. Ava, gasping for air, warns Kristen that there’s someone else in the room: the mysterious Woman in White.
Just as Kristen turns to investigate, she hears a voice behind her. “Kristen, my love? Is that you?” Kristen turns around in shock. “Mother?” she whispers, as the plot takes an even darker turn with the revelation of an unexpected family connection.
What will this shocking twist mean for Kristen and Ava? And who is the Woman in White really working for? Stay tuned for the next thrilling episode of Days of Our Lives!
