Days of Our Lives Update
Update written by Joseph
EJ proposes a toast to Stefano, so they all raise a glass to his portrait until Lexie shockingly emerges from the tunnels, leaving all the DiMeras in disbelief.
Dr. Rolf goes to the secret room and is shocked to find Lexie is gone from her bed.
Cat and Leo end up back out in the garden as Leo complains about leaving while Cat says she didn’t want to get caught. Leo argues that if they continued, they could’ve found whoever they heard skulking in the shadows. Cat says she’s sorry but they had to get out before anyone found them. Cat says that all the DiMeras were up at the will reading so she doesn’t understand who that could’ve been.
Abe shockingly calls out to Lexie while Theo approaches her as Lexie looks around the room in awe. EJ steps forward and suggests she take a seat, but she collapses in EJ’s arms.
Cat tells Leo that she needs to get out of there and Leo needs to leave. Cat reminds Leo not to tell anyone they were snooping around the tunnels or any of his ridiculous theories. Leo assures he does not have a death wish, so his lips are sealed.
Dr. Rolf texts EJ in a panic that Lexie is gone.
EJ, Abe, and Theo get Lexie in to a chair as EJ notes her pulse is weak so Tony goes to call an ambulance. Abe holds back tears as he asks if it’s really her and tries to get through to her. Chad confronts EJ as to if Lexie was in the pod. Theo tells him the answer is yes. Abe questions Theo knowing about this. Theo explains that he couldn’t say anything as they weren’t sure she would wake up. Theo encourages Lexie to hang in there. Gabi questions this being Theo’s mom while EJ excitedly states that he didn’t know this was going to work. Kristen interrupts and brings up the family’s history of impostors and asks about the chance it’s not really her. Gabi brings up the family history of bringing people back from the dead so she thinks there’s a good chance it is her. Kristen declares that they need to make damn sure before they embrace her with open arms. Tony says that’s just like they need to make sure about Gabi’s claim to being Stefan’s widow. Chad questions Tony thinking about that when EJ just brought their sister back from the dead. Kristen argues that it might be her. Chad says he wasn’t talking to her while Kristen complains that he was scolding Tony. EJ and Kristen yell at each other to shut up. Kristen declares that she’s only there for her inheritance and it seems to have gotten a whole lot smaller. Chad calls her unbelievable. Theo yells for them to all stop fighting, pointing out that his mother is alive. After Lexie is taken away in an ambulance, Cat comes in and questions hearing the sirens, asking what happened and where EJ is. Kristen tells her not to worry as her beloved boss is just fine, but he disappeared as the paramedics carted away whoever she is. Chad informs Cat that it was their sister Lexie. Tony states that if it really was Lexie, she kind of crashed Stefano’s will reading. Gabi jokes that she stole her thunder. Cat thought Lexie was dead. Chad says it seems EJ’s medical mystery has finally come to light. Tony questions Cat being surprised since she works for EJ and her brother was the disgraced doctor. Tony asks what Cat knows about all of this.
EJ joins Dr. Rolf in the secret room and asks what the hell happened. Dr. Rolf explains that he heard someone in the corridor, so he had to hide until they were gone and by the time he came back, Lexie was gone. EJ complains that Lexie stumbled out right in to the reception so now everyone knows she’s alive.
Cat tells Tony that she doesn’t know anything about what goes on in EJ’s private lab and Mark signed an NDA so he couldn’t say anything if he wanted to, but she highly doubts he knew anything about this. Chad says EJ was obviously up to something with the pod and that they need to get to the hospital. Kristen tells him to go ahead. Chad questions her not coming. Kristen strongly suspects it’s a trick that EJ cooked up to get more of Stefano’s fortune. Cat decides she’s going to look for EJ. Kristen remarks that he’s probably in the tunnels but warns her not to look for him as she guarantees he’s blowing a gasket trying to figure out how Lexie got loose.
Abe and Theo go to the hospital and tell Kayla that the ambulance just brought Lexie in, leaving Kayla confused. After the realization, Kayla says now it all makes sense why EJ bought the hospital and guesses Dr. Rolf is involved. Kayla wonders if they have any more patients. Abe responds that he’s sorry but he doesn’t know and declares all he knows is that he has his wife back and Theo’s mother. Theo asks Kayla to help her. Kayla agrees to do her best and says she’ll come back and tell them as soon as she knows anything.
EJ complains to Dr. Rolf that this is not how he wanted Lexie reintroduced to the family as he wanted something carefully controlled and elegant, but instead he got something out of a zombie film. Dr. Rolf argues that they have made scientific history and calls it quite possibly the greatest medical achievement of all time. Dr. Rolf says he needs to monitor her and run extensive tests so they need to get her back down there. EJ says it’s too late as Lexie collapsed and was taken to the hospital. EJ says he’s sure they are going to have a million questions for him so he has to get to the hospital to do damage control.
Chad goes to the hospital and says he’s not surprised to see Leo there. Leo asks if it’s true that EJ brought his sister back to life and talks about what a scoop it is. Chad warns Leo not to publish one word about Lexie. Chad says that until they know what is going on, Leo is not to speak about any of this. Leo says as long as he eventually gets the exclusive for the Spectator. Leo apologizes for being insensitive and asks how he’s holding up. Chad responds that part of him think it’s a dream come true while another part of him thinks it’s an absolute nightmare. Cat then comes over and sees Chad.
Theo and Abe go to the waiting room where Abe asks how long Theo has known. Theo admits it’s been awhile. Abe asks if this is the reason he stepped away from DiMera. Theo confirms that it is since Lexie never wanted him to have anything to do with the company, so he didn’t want her to wake up to find him running it. Abe wishes Theo trusted him as this is too big of a secret to carry on. Paulina arrives and is thankful they are alright. Paulina brings up how they called from an ambulance and says someone must have been hurt badly for them to call her to meet there. Paulina questions who it is that’s been injured. Abe responds that they think it’s Lexie.
Tony returns to the living room of the DiMera Mansion and mentions sharing the news with Anna, who is in a state of shock. Kristen brings up how Anna thought Tony was dead for a decade until Dr. Rolf brought him back with his magic serum. Tony says Anna is just taking the news hard. Kristen decides to go get some fresh air and exits. Gabi remarks that it’s been a blast and she’ll be in touch about getting her share of Stefano’s billions. Tony calls her a gold digger and says they won’t hand over Stefan’s shares of the estate without proof that Gabi is really his widow. Gabi assures that she will get proof, noting that she has a sworn statement from Ivan saying he saw Vivian forged Stefan’s signature. Tony says they will conduct their own investigation. Gabi brings up that Theo said he is taking her claim seriously. Gabi warns that if EJ and Tony plan to fight her on this, she will see them in court. Tony says it doesn’t have to go that far and tells Gabi that he has a proposition for her which she questions. Gabi brings up last time, she ended up with a knife in her back when he used her to get dirt on Titan and tossed her aside to install Theo as CEO. Tony points out that Theo has stepped aside while Gabi notes now he has Johnny. Tony argues that Johnny is not permanent and his reasons for not choosing him in the first place are still the same. Tony calls Johnny a film maker, not a business man, and argues that he’s simply not qualified and doesn’t have the required experience. Gabi asks what this has to do with her. Tony points out that Gabi is qualified, has the experience, and has done the job before. Tony then asks how Gabi would like to be the next CEO of DiMera.
Kristen goes out to the garden and again imagines a bloody Sophia appearing in front of her. Kristen yells for it to go away and leave her alone as her vision disappears.
Paulina questions Abe seeing Lexie. Kayla comes back in, so Paulina asks if she should leave but Abe asks her to stay. Kayla informs them that Lexie is stable and asleep, so they are running tests. Abe asks if it’s really Lexie. Kayla responds that she doesn’t know, but she will run a DNA test as soon as she gets a chance. Theo asks how much she will remember since she didn’t recognize him before. Kayla says Theo has changed quite a bit, so they’ll just have to wait and see. Abe asks if Lexie will wake up. Kayla says they don’t know that either but Abe is welcome to sit with her. Theo tells him that he should. Paulina agrees that Abe should go and be with his wife, so Abe then exits.
Cat finds EJ at the hospital. EJ guesses he has some explaining to do but he needs to see how his sister is. Cat responds that she’s stable but that’s all they know. EJ says they need to keep a tight lid on this as he doesn’t want any of it getting out. Cat asks what EJ needs her to do. Chad interrupts and tells EJ to leave Cat out of this and not drag her in to whatever illegal activity he’s involved in.
Paulina asks when Theo found out. Theo admits it was weeks ago. Theo says he’s sorry that he couldn’t say anything but he wanted to warn her. Paulina said when Theo said part of the reason he left DiMera was because of his mother, she thought he might know. Paulina then reveals to Theo that she knew Lexie was alive.
Abe sits at Lexie’s side and cries that he has missed her.
Cat tells Chad that it’s okay as EJ isn’t asking her to do anything illegal. EJ tells Chad that instead of hurling accusations, he could express gratitude for him bringing back their sister. Chad responds that if that’s what he did then he is grateful, but says it’s going to disrupt a lot of people’s lives. EJ tries to call it a good deed but Chad argues that it wasn’t an act of charity and that EJ was playing God. Chad remarks that despite what EJ thinks, that’s not who he is. Chad warns that there will be repercussions for this and he hopes EJ is ready for them.
Kristen has a flashback to knocking out Sophia and says she can’t come back, she’s dead. Dr. Rolf approaches and asks if she’s alright. Kristen says she’s not alright. Dr. Rolf says he couldn’t help but overhear her and that Lexie is not dead, she’s very much alive. Kristen argues that she should’ve known and calls he and EJ monsters. Dr. Rolf questions her anger and says there should be jubilation that Lexie has returned and is ready to resume her place in their hearts. Kristen tells Dr. Rolf that whoever or whatever they brought is only going to bring pain and misery to the people who love Lexie.
EJ tells Chad that he’s ready for whatever comes his way. EJ knows it’s overwhelming but says once he gets past the initial shock, he will see that Lexie’s return will bring nothing but joy to their family. Kayla comes by, so EJ asks about Lexie and if they can see her. Kayla responds that Abe is with her now and they still have to run tests and verify her identity. EJ acknowledges this all coming as a huge shock. Chad asks when they will know it’s really Lexie. Kayla says as soon as she can run a DNA test. EJ tells them the results will prove she is Alexandra Carver. Kayla asks to speak with EJ privately so they step aside. Kayla tells EJ that she knew he didn’t buy the hospital to help other people, but to help himself, and God knows how many laws he’s broke in that lab of his. EJ argues that medical research is not illegal. Kayla complains that what he did is immoral and depraved as he used his own sister as a guinea pig and went around every rule in place for safety. Kayla states that EJ did it to sell his miracle drug on the black market. EJ reminds Kayla of the dire straits that Bo was in, so she understands breaking rules to save someone you love. EJ tells Kayla to get to work, reminding her that he is her boss and her only job right now is to take care of his sister.
Gabi thought Tony wanted family running DiMera. Tony responds that Stefan’s widow is still family and she has a very impressive track record as a business woman. Gabi thought he didn’t believe her about Stefan. Tony clarifies that he believes her, but doesn’t think she can prove it. Gabi says she will but they can do their own investigation and Rita will find what she is claiming is true. Tony questions how long that could take and that it could be years before she sees a dime of Stefano’s fortune. Gabi responds that it will be worth the wait. Tony argues that they both know she’s not patient and wants her piece of the pie now which is why he’s offering this on a silver platter.
Cat tells EJ that she couldn’t help but overhear Kayla. EJ says it’s to be expected that people will have questions but he has one for Cat. EJ states that Lexie’s doctor mentioned hearing someone in the tunnels and during that time, he noticed Cat wasn’t at the will reading so he assumed she was setting up the reception. Cat says she was finishing up some last minute details. EJ asks if she has any idea who the person in the tunnels could’ve been as Leo listens from nearby.
Paulina explains to Theo that she was getting too close to what EJ was doing in the lab, so he showed her his project. Paulina says she told him as Mayor, it was her job to shut him down but he told her to forget what she had seen and keep her mouth shut. Paulina argues that she couldn’t shut down his work as she couldn’t do that to Theo and Abe. Kayla comes in to ask Theo for a DNA sample to compare to Lexie which he agrees to. Theo tells Paulina that everything is going to work out the way it’s supposed to as he then exits with Kayla.
Abe cries at Lexie’s side that it’s been almost 15 years since they lost her but looking at her is like no time ever passed. Abe holds Lexie’s hand and asks if this is really happening. Lexie then wakes up and says Abe’s name.
Cat claims to EJ that she didn’t see or hear anything. Chad and Leo come over as Chad asks what’s going on. Leo informs him that EJ was just asking Cat if she knew who was in the tunnels. EJ questions this being his business. Leo then reveals he was in the tunnels. EJ threatens to have him arrested for trespassing. Leo argues that he asked Cat to get him an invite to the will reading and EJ declined, so he was looking for an alternative entry. EJ wants to go after him for sneaking in to his house. Chad tells EJ to take it easy since Leo works for him and was just doing his job. Chad tells EJ that’s enough of the threats and to leave Leo alone.
Gabi questions Tony offering her the CEO position and asks if he wants her to drop her claim on Stefan’s share of the estate in exchange. Tony says his offer stands regardless of her claim. Gabi argues that DiMeras only make offers if there’s something in it for them. Gabi brings up that DiMera is Titan’s biggest rival. Tony asks if she’s afraid to go against Philip, pointing out that it didn’t bother her to put a bug in his office which is how they found out that Philip used forged documents to steal half of Titan. Tony declares that Gabi is the whole reason why Philip’s family company could go under. Gabi argues that was all before she fell in love with Philip. Tony mocks Gabi having a heart. Gabi thanks him for the offer but says her answer is no as she walks out of the mansion.
Leo and Cat go to a waiting room where Leo comments on Chad making the rescue. Cat tells Leo that he did not need to take the blame as she had it under control. Leo argues that EJ already hates him so he didn’t need to know she was snooping too, so he was happy to protect her. Cat guesses he’s going to expect a return favor. Cat acknowledges Leo’s risk. Leo asks what EJ is going to do, kill him? Cat says they’ll hope not.
EJ comments on Chad protecting Leo and asks if he put Leo up to it. Chad asks if he’s really that surprised that Leo wanted in on the will reading and says the public will all want to know, adding they’ll want to know even more when the news about Lexie gets out. EJ argues that it won’t get out until he knows she’s made a complete recovery. EJ hopes Chad made that clear with Leo which Chad says he did. Chad guesses he knows why Theo didn’t think Abigail was in the pod now. Chad asks EJ if it’s really Lexie. EJ assures that it is. Chad can’t believe he did this. EJ responds that he just finished what Stefano started. Chad asks if it would be possible if they ever found Abigail. EJ explains that Lexie was preserved shortly after she died and to have any chance of success, that has to happen.
Dr. Rolf is surprised Kristen isn’t happy to see her sister. Kristen talks about learning her mother was alive after years of thinking she was dead, arguing that her mother was always alive while Lexie is a reanimated corpse. Dr. Rolf argues that Lexie was never a corpse. Kristen questions her being in a lingering state waiting to return to screw up everyone’s lives. Kristen argues that Dr. Rolf completely ignored the ripple effect this could have on the living and declares that the dead need to stay dead.
Abe tells Lexie that he’s here. Lexie tells Abe that she loves him. Paulina looks in through the door as Abe says that he loves her too.
