Days of Our Lives Recap: Rafe Confronts Gabi Over EJ’s Shooting – Doug Gets a Lifeline…

Doug’s Struggles and a New Beginning

Doug, living at a homeless shelter, tries to apply for a job at the Brady Pub. Roman Brady, seeing his potential and heart, offers not only a job but also a place to stay. Despite Doug’s reluctance, Roman insists everyone deserves a second chance—and Doug finally accepts. A quiet but emotional scene highlights the show’s enduring themes of redemption and community.

 EJ’s Shooting: Suspicions Mount

At the police station, Jada and Shawn go over the list of suspects. Even JJ has suspicions about Gabby, which raises red flags. Jada admits she was emotionally unstable the night of the shooting and even locked away her gun to avoid acting on impulse. She insists she didn’t shoot EJ—but she doesn’t deny she was capable of it. Jada’s honesty adds more emotional complexity to the mystery.

 Rafe vs. Leo: Family Loyalty Ignites

Rafe finds Leo’s “suspect list” and is furious to see both his and Gabby’s names on it. He warns Leo to stay away from Gabby and threatens eviction if he crosses the line again. Rafe’s fierce defense of Gabby shows his deep loyalty—but also raises questions. Is he protecting an innocent sister or hiding something?

 Gabby Breaks Down Under Pressure

At work, Gabby lashes out over minor issues, revealing her deeper anxiety. She confesses to Javi that she’s scared—both of losing her company to Titan and of being wrongfully accused again. She pleads her innocence to Javi, who supports her, but the pressure is clearly mounting.

 Office Drama: Leo Crosses the Line

Leo, ever the opportunist, shows up uninvited in Gabby’s office, bringing dinner for Javi. Gabby sees right through him and explodes. Her fury is justified—Leo has been snooping and using her cousin Javi to gain access. She storms out, leaving Javi stuck in the middle between loyalty and boundaries.

 Media Mayhem: Leo Confronts the PD

Never one to back down, Leo waltzes into the police bullpen demanding comments. He boldly suggests that the prime suspects are Rafe, Gabby, and even Commissioner Jada Hunter herself. Jada shuts him down, but his accusations further muddy the waters—and his persistence could spell trouble for everyone.

 Final Takeaway:

This episode digs deep into family loyalty, personal vulnerability, and the consequences of mistrust. As Doug gets a second chanceRafe and Gabby face intense scrutiny, and Leo continues his press-fueled meddling, the mystery of EJ’s shooting grows even more tangled.
