Days of Our Lives Update
Update written by Joseph
Tate is at the Horton Cabin on Smith Island when Sophia shows up at the door, surprising him as she asks if he was expecting someone else.
Holly visits Sarah in the hospital, bringing her donuts from the bakery. Holly asks how she’s doing. Sarah responds that she’s alright, all things considered, and she’s actually worried about Xander because he’s not handling the whole situation very well. Holly is sure he’s just hurting for her. Sarah talks about Xander’s anger and frustration that he can’t do anything about it, so she’s worried that he might take it out on the wrong person.
Jada is on the phone in the police commissioner’s office when Xander storms in to confront her, questioning why she’s sitting behind her desk instead of being out there trying to find who was behind the hit and run on Sarah. Jada hangs up and tells Xander that she understands he’s upset about what happened but that doesn’t give him the right to barge in to her office. Xander tells her to spare him the lecture and asks her to explain why she hasn’t arrested the son of a bitch who mowed down his wife.
Brady paces at home, urging himself to think. Brady thinks back to going to the garage with Fiona, only to find his car was gone. Brady then wonders what the hell happened to his car. Brady gets a call from Maggie and asks if there’s any news on Sarah’s condition. Maggie responds that it isn’t good news as she informs Brady that Sarah is paralyzed.
“Abigail” is frustrated in her bedroom at the DiMera Mansion as she grabs her phone and makes a call, declaring that she doesn’t think she can do this anymore. She says they don’t need to remind her what’s at stake as she’s well aware but complains that it’s a lot harder than she thought it was going to be. Abigail talks about living in the house with Chad and his brothers that she apparently slept with and they are all waiting for her to remember her old life. Abigail talks about the way Chad looks at her and says he’s been patient and understanding but wonders how long that will last. Chad then knocks on her door and asks if she’s awake.
Brady tells Maggie that he’s so sorry and asks if Sarah’s paralysis is permanent. Maggie responds that they don’t know yet and are hopeful that she could regain the use of her legs but there is no guarantee. Brady asks what he can do. Maggie tells him to just pray for Sarah’s recovery and that the police find whoever did this and brings them to justice.
Xander questions if Jada has even lifted a finger or if she’s just enjoying Rafe’s job. Jada warns him to watch his tone. Xander wants results and a name. Jada assures that the police are doing everything they can to find the driver. Xander complains that if any of them could do their job, then the monster who paralyzed his wife would already be rotting in jail.
Fiona sits in her room at the Salem Inn and thinks back to Xander informing her of Sarah having no feeling from the waist down. Fiona worries about what she’s done to Sarah as she continues drinking.
Sarah tells Holly about Xander feeling the cops haven’t done enough to find who hit her. Sarah is sure Jada is doing the best she can but she knows Xander won’t stop until they arrest someone, so she hopes he doesn’t get himself locked up in the process. Holly guesses Xander does this kind of thing often. Sarah admits he’s very protective of her which is great most of the time. Holly relates that she would totally freak if someone hurt the person she loves. Sarah asks who that might be.
Tate questions what Sophia is doing at the cabin. Sophia talks about how busy Holly has been with working at the Bistro and her aunt in the hospital, so she thought he might be lonely all by himself and asks what he feels like doing.
Jada questions Xander saying that Sarah is paralyzed. Xander confirms she has no feeling from the waist down. Jada apologizes as she didn’t know. Xander complains that he’s not interested in her apology and tells her to just do her job. Jada promises that it’s her number one priority. Xander argues that it’s been days and they are no closer to knowing who did this. Jada says that’s not true. Xander remarks that he hasn’t seen an arrest. Jada says he didn’t give her a chance to give him the latest news. Xander questions her finding something and asks who it is. Jada informs him that they have a lead on the car that hit Sarah.
Brady goes to Fiona’s room. She asks if he found out what happened with his car. Brady says no as he has more pressing things as he talked to Maggie. Brady questions why Fiona didn’t tell him that Sarah was paralyzed. Fiona says she told him that she had numbness but admits she may have downplayed it. Fiona adds that it’s because she thought it wasn’t permanent and also that she’s really upset about it since Sarah is the mother of her grandchild. Brady understands but says he’s dying here. Fiona tells Brady to calm down. Brady argues that it’s easy for her to say when she’s not the one who might be responsible for Sarah’s paralysis.
Sarah asks Holly if there is someone special and if it’s who she thinks it is. Dr. Mark Green enters, interrupting them, and says he came to check on his favorite colleague. Sarah thanks him and introduces Mark to Holly. Holly says it’s good to see him again, so Sarah questions them knowing each other. Mark explains that Holly went to the prom with his little brother, Aaron, only to leave him halfway through the night which surprises Sarah as Holly says she’s sorry about that. Sarah questions why. Mark asks if Holly wants to tell her or if he should. Holly tells Mark to go for it, so Mark explains to Sarah that apparently, her prom date with his brother was all a ruse because Holly only has eyes for Tate Black.
Tate questions why Sophia would think he’d want to hang out with her. Sophia argues that they are friends but Tate argues that a friend wouldn’t go out of her way to gaslight Holly, by trying to make her feel bad that they haven’t had sex yet. Sophia says she was just surprised considering the amount of time they’ve spent together alone and that it must be frustrating for Tate. Tate says he’s fine. Sophia argues that she’s talked to a lot of guys who said teasing like that can get uncomfortable. Tate states that Holly isn’t teasing him and that those guys are just trying to get in Sophia’s pants. Sophia questions Tate not being like other teenage boys and thinking about sex all the time. Tate says he’s not, but Sophia points out his underwear which Tate argues is not happening because of her and asks her to stop. Sophia tells Tate that she can’t just leave him alone with all of that pent up sexual energy.
Abigail says she has to go and hangs up before Chad enters the room and brings her coffee. Chad asks how she slept. Abigail says pretty well. Chad admits he was a little worried about her being alone in the room where she was murdered. Abigail tells Chad that it’s okay as she survived. She asks if it’s hard for him to be in the room. Chad admits that it is. Abigail talks about thinking of Clyde coming in with the knife then stops. Chad asks if she’s okay as Abigail suddenly says she thinks she’s remembering. Chad questions what she remembers from that night. Abigail recalls being on the bed with Clyde coming in and saying he knew what she had been up to. Chad guesses he was talking about the investigation in to the drug ring and asks her what happened next. Abigail tells Chad that Clyde started walking towards her and then took out the knife. Abigail starts to panic so Chad stops her and says it’s too painful so they are done. Abigail tells Chad that the memory was right there but it’s gone. Chad hugs her and calls it a huge breakthrough as it’s the first thing she remembered which means the Abigail he knew is still in there. Chad calls it huge that her memories are coming back.
Sophia asks Tate if she’s making him uncomfortable. Tate says she is because he doesn’t want this as he loves Holly. Sophia asks who said anything about love. Tate asks her to just relax, so Sophia removes her robe and moves closer to Tate.
Sarah questions Holly pretending to go to prom with Aaron to spend time with Tate. Holly says that it’s not like she dumped Aaron since he was in on it and then Tate’s parents busted them anyway. Mark calls that the reason why Tate and Aaron are off at lacrosse camp together because Brady and Theresa thought Holly and Tate could use some distance. Sarah bets Nicole’s not complaining either. Mark brings up seeing the camp’s Instagram posting photos from the camp and says he saw a picture of Aaron but weirdly, his photo was captioned as Tate Black.
Xander questions if Jada found the car that hit Sarah. Jada says not yet but they found footage of a partial license plate, so they are working on tracking it down. Xander offers to get the Titan security team on it as well but Jada says she’s not going to do that, reminding him that it’s a police investigation so she’s not about to have him interfere with that. Xander argues that this is his wife. Jada understands but says he needs to let them do their job because the last thing she needs is for him to go around scaring possible suspects. Jada adds that it will take some time and that’s all she’s going to say. Jada tells Xander to go be with Sarah at the hospital. Xander tells her to call as soon as she knows anything. Jada confirms that she will call him as soon as they make an arrest. Xander declares that whoever did this to Sarah better pray that Jada finds them before he does. Xander then exits the office.
Fiona tells Brady that they are not even sure that he hit Sarah. Brady feels it’s looking pretty obvious. Fiona says for all they know, the hit and run driver could’ve taken his car. Brady asks why they would do that. Fiona argues that Brady doesn’t remember anything that happened that night so there’s no use thinking about what he may or may not have done since that’s not going to help Sarah. Fiona pulls out her alcohol and pours Brady a drink, saying it’s to calm his nerves which he accepts. Brady complains that Sarah and Xander just got married and have their whole lives ahead of them. Maggie then arrives with Victoria and knocks on the door, asking if Fiona is inside. Brady tells Fiona that Maggie can’t see him there, so Fiona sends him to the bathroom to hide with the vodka. Fiona then answers the door and claims she was just resting. Maggie hopes she is well rested because she’s on Grandma duty if that’s okay with her because she needs her to watch Victoria while she heads back to the hospital to visit Sarah. Fiona asks if there’s any change. Maggie says there’s no news to report and that Sarah is trying to be brave, but she can only imagine how terrified she must be, thinking of her future with possibly not being able to walk.
Sarah asks Mark if he sees anything in her test results that she and Kayla missed. Mark says he doesn’t but he is optimistic that if anyone can come back from this, it’s Sarah. Holly decides to get going and hugs Sarah. Mark tells Holly it was good to see her and if she runs in to Aaron before he does, to tell the camp photographer to get in touch with the real Tate Black. Holly says she will as she exits the room.
Tate tells Sophia to put her clothes back on but she continues trying to come on to him. Tate tells her to stop because he doesn’t want this. Sophia asks why not and says she won’t tell if he won’t.
Chad doesn’t want to pressure Abigail but asks if there’s anything else she can remember. Abigail says she doesn’t think so and that the memory just came like a flash and then disappeared. Abigail apologizes if he’s disappointed. Chad assures that he’s not and calls it a huge first step, feeling it’s only a matter of time before she starts remembering all the good times they shared together. Chad tells her they shared a lot of good times together as he hugs her. Chad worries that he’s putting too much pressure on her and says he’s sorry for getting impatient. Chad asks if she wants to spend the day together and suggests a ride to the lake after having breakfast. Abigail says that sounds lovely but she thinks she needs a little time alone to process what just happened. Chad says that’s no problem and blames himself for ramping up the pressure. Abigail tells Chad that it makes her hopeful to see the hope on his face. Abigail suggests taking a walk around town. Chad points out that she wouldn’t really know where she’s going. Abigail assures that she will be fine, so Chad asks where she will go. Abigail thinks she will go to the park and says maybe it will jog some memories as she then exits the room.
Maggie tells Fiona that it’s so strange as she thought it was finally Sarah’s time to be happy and settled, but then out of the blue, this random person takes it all away from her and then leaves her there like a coward. Fiona calls it awful and says Maggie must be anxious to get back to the hospital. Maggie thanks her for watching Victoria and says she appreciates it, repeating that she’s so happy that Sarah tracked her down. Maggie calls it a blessing for Xander to have his mother here. Fiona responds that they are all in this together and sends Sarah her love. Brady listens in as Maggie hopes they find the driver too. Maggie then exits the room. Brady comes out from hiding in the bathroom and says that was excruciating to hear how Maggie is suffering about her daughter because he’s most likely the cause of all the pain to begin with. Brady knows they can’t say for sure. Fiona encourages him to just stay the course. Brady asks if she’s sure she’s up for babysitting. Fiona says it will do her some good to spend time with Victoria. Brady decides he will leave her to it. Fiona assures Brady that it’s going to be okay as he exits the room.
Xander brings flowers to Sarah’s hospital room. Sarah introduces Xander to Mark. Mark talks about taking a personal interest in Sarah’s case since she is a friend and tells Xander to feel free to call with any questions or concerns. Mark then exits the room. Xander tells Sarah that she’s always perfect to him and kisses her. Sarah tells Xander about Holly bringing her donuts which Xander says was nice of her. Sarah mentions that Holly gave Xander props for being protective of her and says she would be the same with the person she loves, which she assumes is Tate. Xander questions Holly still pining after Tate. Sarah suggests that with Nicole gone, maybe they’ll get to spend time together when Tate gets back from camp. Xander questions if Sarah thinks that’s a good idea. Sarah says it seems like they like each other. Xander argues that Tate is Theresa’s son so if he inherited half of her miserable traits and Brady, he’s bad news. Xander worries that Tate will break Holly’s heart.
Sophia tells Tate to stop resisting as she can tell he wants this. Sophia jokes that what happens on Smith Island stays on Smith Island. Sophia adds that what Holly doesn’t know won’t hurt them, right as Holly arrives at the cabin and says she’s so wrong about that. Sophia swears it’s not what it looks like. Holly accuses Sophia of trying to make a play for her boyfriend. Sophia argues that she can’t make a claim on a guy that she hasn’t passed first base with. Holly tells her it’s none of her business. Holly calls Sophia a lying skank and tells her to get the hell out. Sophia tells Tate to try not to think of what she could’ve had and reminds Holly not to be late for work as she storms out. Holly then questions Tate as to what she just walked in on.
Xander tells Sarah that Holly could do a lot better than Tate. Sarah jokes about people saying that about Victoria. Xander talks about not letting Victoria date just anyone, vowing to not let anyone or anything hurt Victoria or Sarah ever again. They kiss until Maggie walks in and says that’s what she likes to see. Sarah asks about Victoria. Maggie says she dropped her off with Fiona and asks if there’s any news. Xander says there was an update on the investigation as Jada said they do have a lead from a partial license plate. Xander declares that with any luck, they will soon be knocking on the door of the bastard who put Sarah in the hospital.
Fiona encourages Victoria that Sarah will be home soon, safe and sound, if she can just keep Brady with his conscience from ruining everything.
Brady pours a drink at home but hides it away when Jada shows up at the door. Jada informs Brady that she’s investigating Sarah’s hit and run, so she needs to see his car.
Chad looks at a photo of he and Abigail, saying it won’t be long as she’s finally coming back to him.
“Abigail” goes to the park and pulls out her phone. Abigail sends a text that she doesn’t see them and asks where the hell they are. Dr. Mark Green then appears and tells her to relax as he’s right there.
