Days of Our Lives is firing on all cylinders this week with emotional reunions, secret partnerships, and bombshell revelations. From Gabi’s unexpected moment of compassion with Xander, to Rafe and Cat cracking open EJ DiMera’s financial secrets, Salem is BURSTING with tension.

Could Gabi and Xander become an unlikely team? And will Rafe and Cat expose EJ’s secret before he turns the hospital into a fortress of corruption? Let’s dive into the explosive drama unfolding across town.

👶 Gabi & Xander: A Baby, A Breakdown, and a Surprising Bond

Xander’s day starts with pure chaos: a screaming baby, a ringing phone, and no support. Victoria won’t stop crying, and her dad is at his wit’s end. Enter Gabi Hernandez — cool, calm, and ready to handle a meltdown.

Though Xander insists he’s got it under control, Gabi isn’t buying it. She scoops up Victoria and rocks her to sleep, revealing she’s been through similar struggles with her daughter, Ari. It’s a raw, vulnerable moment — and it hits hard when Gabi admits she’ll never get those early years back, nor have another child.

“You’ve got everything,” she tells Xander. “Don’t waste it.”
Her words sting — and awaken something in Xander that hasn’t been touched in a long time. Could this be the beginning of a new bond?

💻 Stephanie’s Career Crisis & A Steamy Secret

Meanwhile, Stephanie’s torn between ambition and anxiety as she prepares for a meeting with EJ to pitch hospital PR work. Alex, ever the romantic, tries to distract her with a sexy new project: her steamy novel One Stormy Night is about to hit shelves.

But the real awkwardness hits when Kayla shows up — blueberry pie in hand — and casually admits she read the book floating around the hospital. The very steamy book. Stephanie nearly melts in embarrassment, while Alex is thoroughly amused.

As fun as that subplot is, Kayla gives some serious advice: “Don’t work for EJ. He’ll burn you out.” Will Stephanie heed the warning, or walk right into the DiMera fire?

🕵️ EJ’s SECRET PARTNER EXPOSED? Rafe and Cat Follow the Money

Rafe and Cat’s investigation into EJ’s hospital takeover just cracked wide open. A mysterious flash drive handed over by Cat reveals EJ’s finances are fishy — and he’s clearly working with a silent partner.

Where did the money to buy the hospital come from? Versavix isn’t profitable. EJ’s personal funds wouldn’t cover it. And if there’s a shadow investor involved, Salem’s newest healthcare hub may be part of something far darker.

Cat’s conflicted. This is personal — her sister was saved by that very hospital. Rafe shares her drive but reminds her: this is what the FBI and ISA have trained them for. And this may be the DiMera family’s most dangerous scheme yet.

🧨 Gwen Refuses to Back Down — Even With the Hortons Watching

Gwen is back — rich, defiant, and dragging her drama into the DiMera mansion. She’s flaunting the Horton family necklace like a trophy and brushing off any idea of returning it to Julie.

Chad, keeping cool in front of Thomas, later lays it out bluntly: return the necklace and leave Salem. Gwen scoffs. She’s not just staying — she’s moving in. “I’m a DiMera,” she proclaims, determined to plant roots right next to the people she’s hurt most.

Could Gwen’s latest power play explode the fragile peace in the DiMera household?

🧠 What’s Next?

• Could Gabi and Xander bond over shared parenthood pain — or even evolve into something more?

• Will Stephanie accept EJ’s offer, putting her directly in the crosshairs of a brewing PR scandal?

• Can Rafe and Cat uncover EJ’s secret partner before it’s too late for Salem’s hospital — and their own safety?

• And will Gwen push Chad too far, triggering the next family war?

Every character is sitting on a powder keg… and one wrong move could blow everything sky high.
