On Friday’s Days of Our Lives, Xander faced mounting opposition to his deal with Kristen. Despite Justin’s initial outrage, Xander’s explanation about securing a paralysis cure for Sarah softened his stance, though he still advised against the deal. Sarah, too, urged Xander to reconsider relinquishing his birthright, but Xander remained resolute.
Meanwhile, at the DiMera mansion, Melinda pressured Stefan to finalize his divorce, leading to a heated exchange. Kristen, seizing the opportunity, advised Stefan to reconsider if he still harbored feelings for Gabi. After contemplation, Stefan decided to fight for his marriage. However, a masked assailant ambushed and drugged him.
At the Salem PD, EJ attempted to coerce Fiona into accepting a plea deal, but she feigned innocence. Melinda arrived to represent Fiona, arguing that the eyewitness testimonies of Sarah and Brady were unreliable. EJ reluctantly released Fiona, vowing repercussions for Melinda. Later, a confrontation ensued between Sarah and Fiona, with Fiona revealing the dismissal of charges against her.
Back at the Kiriakis mansion, Kristen presented Xander with a vial, claiming it was part of a two-part cure for Sarah’s paralysis. Just as Xander prepared to sign over Titan, Justin intervened, revealing an injunction blocking the deal. A stunned Xander questioned who could be behind the injunction, only to be surprised by Philip’s return.
Elsewhere, Rafe received news of Tía Hilda’s passing and opened a box she bequeathed him, discovering an engagement ring and a note about his love life. Gabi, discussing her uncertain feelings about her divorce, reminisced about Stefan. A knock at the door interrupted her thoughts, leaving her surprised by the unexpected visitor.
Days of Our Lives airs weekdays at 6:00 AM on Peacock.
