Update written by Joseph

Xander goes to visit Marlena in the hospital. Marlena thanks him for the flowers he sent. Xander says he intended to deliver them in person, but he heard Sarah was also in the hospital and wanted to see her. Xander adds that Sarah didn’t want to see him and when he got to her room, she was with Brady.

At the Kiriakis Mansion, Brady comes out of the shower in a towel and runs in to Sarah in the hallway.

Javi and Gabi are at the Brady Pub, looking through a wedding catalog. Javi thanks Gabi for helping him pick out Leo’s ring as he knows Leo is not her favorite person. Gabi responds that Javi is her favorite cousin though and she just wants him to be happy. Javi says he’s very happy and he’s grateful that Gabi and Leo seem to be getting along. Javi is glad they are seeing the best in each other and asks if they are friends now but Gabi says she wouldn’t go that far.

Jada goes to see Rafe at home and admits it’s a little weird being back there, but says it’s so good to be somewhere other than the police station as her phone has been ringing off the hook. Rafe figured she could use some peace and quiet. Rafe talks about all the different agencies involved in this search. Jada is happy to partner with anyone who can help find the missing DiMeras and prevent anyone else from being taken.

Johnny and Chanel walk through the town square with Trey and talk about getting used to be followed by security detail. Chanel calls it surreal to think that something could happen to them and says her heart breaks for Theo. Johnny knows it’s hard not to worry, but encourages trying to act like everything is okay for Trey. Chanel agrees as Trey then wakes up crying. Chanel says he needs a diaper change so she’ll be right back. Chanel walks off with Trey as EJ then approaches Johnny.

Marlena asks if it bothered Xander to see Sarah with Brady. Xander admits it does even though he signed the divorce papers, but part of him can’t accept that it’s over. Marlena didn’t realize he signed the papers. Xander says it’s what Sarah wanted and he didn’t want to stand in her way. Marlena knows that must have been very hard for him. Marlena offers to recommend him another therapist until she’s back on her feet. Xander appreciates the offer but doesn’t think he could trust another therapist like her, so he will patiently wait on her recovery. Marlena says to let her know if he changes his mind. Marlena tells him that she’s so sorry about he and Sarah.

Brady apologizes to Sarah as he didn’t think anyone would be in the hallway. Sarah tells him that it’s okay since he lives there now. Brady explains that he was in the shower and there was no shampoo. Sarah says she will get him some. Brady thanks her and says he’ll go put a robe on but Sarah says he doesn’t have to, pointing out that she’s seen plenty of half naked bodies as a doctor. Brady says he knows what she means and heads back in to his room.

Jada didn’t realize Rafe had been investigating the DiMeras all this time. Rafe reminds her that he has a personal interest in bringing down EJ after everything he did. Jada mentions being especially worried about Theo. Rafe brings up Jada meeting Theo at the Pub but he never showed. Jada reveals it was actually a date. Rafe understands her concern, but feels it bolsters the case that EJ is behind it. Jada agrees that getting Theo out of the way would open a lane for EJ to run DiMera which Rafe calls EJ’s life goal. Jada points out that Chad has nothing to do with DiMera, so she questions why EJ would take him. Rafe agrees that it doesn’t make sense. Jada says it’s hard to know where to begin when the DiMeras have so many enemies. Rafe says none greater than one another.

Javi questions if Gabi is saying she still can’t stand Leo. Gabi says that’s not what she meant, but she doesn’t consider him a friend. Gabi acknowledges that Leo has definitely improved. Javi assures that he is marrying the new and improved Leo. Gabi agrees that they made amazing foster parents. Javi calls it the best experience of his life to take care of baby Trey. Gabi knows how much he misses him. Javi says that being his Godparents and being able to see him whenever they want helps.

EJ tells Johnny that it’s a happy coincidence since he was just on his way to his apartment. Johnny has no idea why since he knows they don’t want him there. EJ hoped in this case he would make an exception considering the danger they are all in. EJ says he just needed to see with his own eyes that his son is okay. Johnny says he sees him so now he can go. EJ offers him private security and says there is one other thing he wants to discuss and that’s the future of their family.

Xander calls it ironic that Brady gave him the push he needed to sign the divorce papers by reminding him that he lost his family because of his inability to control his anger. Xander says he’s been working on that but admits he’s not there yet and until he is there, he can’t be the husband and father that Sarah and Victoria deserve, so right now this is what he has to do. Marlena asks if he doesn’t regret signing the divorce papers. Xander says no and that he just worries that while he’s trying to become a better man, Brady will move in on Sarah.

Brady goes to the living room and watches Sarah play with Victoria.

Javi points out the Brady Pub’s trivia night. Gabi tells him that she was there last night with Theo and they were talking about it right before he disappeared. Gabi brings up when Javi accused her of kidnapping Tony. Javi says he just said that Tony’s disappearance made Theo vulnerable. Gabi asks if he think she would commit a felony because she got screwed out of a job. Javi says he just knows how angry she was at Tony. Gabi admits that she is angry but not enough to risk being separated from her daughter again. Javi apologizes and says he’s just worried that she’s going to be in trouble. Gabi understands that after losing baby Trey, he’s afraid of losing someone else in his life. Gabi assures that he won’t lose her and she wouldn’t do anything to risk that. Gabi promises that she had nothing to do with whatever happened to Tony and Theo as they hug.

Rafe tells Jada that it appears someone has been sleeping in the DiMera secret room and shows her the pictures. Jada asks where he got the pictures. Rafe responds that he was working with another agency and that’s all he can say. Jada says it’s possible that the person could be one of the kidnap victims. Rafe says it doesn’t appear they are being held against their will and from experience, he knows how EJ likes his prisoners tied up. Jada says it could be one of EJ’s prisoners or it could be someone helping him take prisoners. Rafe feels they need to get back in that room to go through it. Jada agrees to get a warrant.

Johnny assumes that EJ is talking about their missing relatives and asks if there’s anything he can do to help. EJ talks about DiMera Enterprises always being a family run business so it’s more important than ever to have a DiMera at the helm. Johnny questions this being about the company. EJ says they took their eye off the ball and almost lost everything to the Kiriakis family, so they cannot let that happen again. EJ talks about everything at stake and not letting the ship sink. EJ declares that someone needs to be in that CEO chair. Johnny questions EJ implying it should be him. EJ asks why not, arguing that Johnny is more than up to the task. Johnny can’t believe that EJ is worried about stock price when people’s lives are in danger. Chanel comes back with Trey and questions what is going on.

Xander tells Marlena that after everything he’s done to Brady, it would be poetic justice if he stole Sarah from him. Xander then acknowledges that Sarah is not his possession and can’t be stolen from him. Marlena asks if he wants to talk about Sarah. Xander says no and that he really did just come to check on her. Xander adds that he understands Brady’s going through a tough time too, so he tells Marlena that she can tell Brady he take off as much time as he wants. Marlena responds that it might be better if he tells him that himself.

Brady tells Sarah that he didn’t mean to interrupt. Sarah says she was just watching Victoria play. Sarah knows Brady is missing Rachel and encourages Rachel opening up in therapy. Brady says her weekly therapy visits is one thing but it’s another thing for her to be living in a psychiatric hospital. Sarah understands it being hard on him but Brady says it’s not about him. Sarah argues that his feelings matter and urges him to open up to her. Brady says now that Rachel knows the truth about EJ, she figured out that Kristen confessed to protect her. Brady admits he wasn’t prepared for all of her questions about if Kristen is going to be okay, if she’s safe, if she’s mad at her. Brady says that Rachel feels like she’s to blame for Kristen breaking out of prison. Brady hates seeing Rachel filled with anxiety and guilt. Brady tells Sarah that Rachel is very sorry for what she did to her and says she gave him something to give to her, so Brady hands an envelope to Sarah.

Javi goes home and asks Rafe what he’s working on. Rafe says it’s the case of the missing DiMeras and all of their enemies are suspects. Rafe says he doesn’t get the motive since Chad, Tony, and Theo are the good DiMeras. Rafe adds that Theo could have a target on his back as the new CEO of DiMera, but the only person he can think of who would want his job is EJ. Rafe then states that he can tell Javi is hiding something and questions what he’s not saying.

Gabi exits the Pub and runs in to Jada. Gabi asks if there’s any word on Theo. Jada says not yet but they are on it and she’s waiting for a judge to sign off for a warrant. Gabi guesses it must be crazy at the police station. Jada reveals she hasn’t been there yet as she just came from Gabi’s house as she and Rafe are coordinating on the case. Gabi asks how that went. Jada says after awhile they were right back in a rhythm and it made her realize how much she missed working with Rafe as he’s a great guy. Gabi is glad there’s no hard feelings between them. Jada then gets a text about her warrant and says with any luck, they will get the break that they need as she hurries off.

Johnny reveals to Chanel that EJ was just asking him to temporarily take over DiMera. Chanel says absolutely not. EJ asks if Johnny is going to let his wife make the decision for him. Johnny responds that he and Chanel make all their decisions together and he agrees with her 100%. Johnny tells EJ that if he wants someone from the family to run DiMera, he can do it himself. EJ responds that he would, but he has a hospital to run. Chanel tells EJ that he’s so full of it. Chanel says last night, she actually defended EJ to Paulina when she said a lot of people think he’s behind the kidnappings. Chanel says she told her that EJ is capable of a lot but he would never hurt his own family or get rid of Tony and Theo, but now he’s asking his son to take over as CEO. Chanel now thinks it’s some grand plan for EJ to get his power back and says if it is, she hopes the cops nail his ass. Chanel tells EJ to take his job offer and shove it and stay the hell away from them. EJ then storms off.

Xander tells Marlena that he imagines work is the last thing on Brady’s mind at the moment and asks how Rachel is doing. Marlena responds that she’s not sure as she hasn’t been able to talk to her doctors at Bayview yet. Xander knows it’s not his place to ask but he hopes she gets better soon. Xander says he still thinks of Rachel as the little girl that he and Sarah had for all those months. Xander then apologizes for saying that. Marlena says it’s okay as she knows how much he cares about her and she needs that now. Xander says he may have his issues with Brady but as a father, he really does feel for him because being separated from your child is Hell on earth.

Sarah reads her letter from Rachel which says she doesn’t hate her, she’s sorry about what happened and is glad she’s okay.

Rafe questions Javi revealing to him that Gabi thought she was going to be CEO of DiMera because Tony promised her if she helped him undo the Titan merger, but then he didn’t and chose Theo. Javi pleads with Rafe not to tell Gabi that he told him or she will kill him. Rafe responds that they have bigger problems than that because it gives Gabi motive to take out Theo and Tony.

Johnny and Chanel go home with Trey. Chanel apologizes for possibly overstepping with EJ but Johnny says if she didn’t say something, he would’ve. Johnny assures that he wants nothing to do with EJ. They agree that if EJ is behind Chad and Tony disappearing, then EJ is pure evil.

Jada goes to the DiMera Mansion and tells EJ that she’s there to search the premises. EJ responds that she did that already and he allowed her once, so now he’d like her to leave. Jada serves him a search warrant and tells him to deal with it as she’s coming in.

Marlena asks Xander when he last saw Victoria. Xander feels like it’s been forever, noting that Sarah refused to include visitation in the terms of the divorce and he was in no position to fight her on it. Xander declares that signing away his right to see his daughter is the most difficult thing he’s ever done. Xander says he did it without resentment in his heart and did it out of love. Marlena acknowledges it as a sacrifice and a sign of real growth because instead of hanging on, he let go because he cares so much about his daughter. Xander hoped as time went on, it would hurt less, but with each day that passes, the pain only gets worse.

Sarah asks Brady to thank Rachel for the letter and then decides she will write her back. Brady loves that Rachel wrote the letter and apologized, but he feels it’s not enough. Sarah assures that she’s okay, it’s all over now and she’s fine. Brady says he doesn’t know what he would’ve done if something happened to her.

Chanel tells Johnny that it feels wrong to celebrate Christmas with everything going on now. Johnny thinks it’s all the more reason to keep the holiday spirit alive and not let what’s going on keep them from celebrating the good. Johnny adds that it’s their first Christmas as a family, so he wants to make sure it’s special. Chanel agrees so she shows Johnny the ornament she got for baby’s first Christmas. Johnny says he loves it and Trey will too, so they show it to him.

Rafe worries to Javi that Gabi may have motive but there’s no way she would do something like this. Javi agrees and points out that it’s not just Tony and Theo that are missing. Rafe acknowledges that Gabi and Chad don’t have the best history, but they’ve been in a good place. Javi agrees that she’d have no reason for him to disappear. Rafe asks if Javi has any more details on what Gabi did to help Tony get DiMera back. Javi swears that he doesn’t know anything and that he would tell him if he did. Rafe remarks that he’s not sure he wants to know. Gabi then comes home and greets them.

Jada goes in to the tunnels while EJ complains that she already searched there and is wasting her time.

Marlena thanks Xander for visiting her. Xander thanks Marlena for everything. Marlena notices that Xander is still wearing his wedding band. Xander points out that Sarah took her band off the night she learned the truth, but he can’t bring himself to do it even though they are divorced. Xander calls it pathetic but Marlena says he’ll take it off when he’s ready. Xander responds that he’s not sure he’ll ever be.

Sarah tells Brady that he doesn’t have to worry about her. Brady responds that he can’t help it. They get close to one another but are interrupted by Victoria dropping her toy train.

EJ mocks Jada expecting to find something in the secret room in the tunnels. Jada explains that she thought maybe Kristen would hide out there and argues that if someone knew when it was safe to hide there, they’d also know when it was unsafe too.

Javi claims he has some laundry to do and hurries to his room. Gabi asks Rafe why Javi just sprinted out. Rafe asks Gabi to tell him that she didn’t have anything to do with Theo and Tony’s disappearance. Gabi questions why he would even ask her that. Rafe wants a yes or no. Gabi says of course not and argues that he knows she didn’t, questioning what Javi told him. Rafe claims that Javi told him nothing. Gabi accuses him of lying.

Johnny and Chanel hang Trey’s ornament on their Christmas tree and decide it’s perfect. Johnny declares it will be a very happy holiday. Chanel asks if he thinks the people who are lost will be found. Johnny says that’s what he’s praying for. Chanel wants it to be a merry Christmas for everyone as they kiss.

Rafe goes over his notes until he gets a call from Jada. Jada says she searched the secret room and it’s empty with the cot and clothes gone. Jada guesses someone must have tipped off EJ. Rafe guesses they are no more closer to finding anyone.

Update written by Joseph

Chanel walks through the town square while on the phone with Johnny, asking him how Chicago is. Chanel mentions that Paulina and Abe are babysitting Trey while she finished up at the Bakery and adds that she found the cutest baby’s first Christmas ornament that she can’t wait to show up. Chanel tells him to hurry back as they hang up.

Sarah finds Holly in the living room of the Kiriakis Mansion. Holly says she was just dropping things off from her dorm and now she’s packing for Paris. Holly talks about being excited to see Nicole, Eric, and Jude but mentions that she will miss Sarah, Maggie, and Tate.

Brady joins Tate as he finishes his shift at the Pub. Tate mentions going to see Holly and asks if Brady came for dinner. Brady says he needs to talk to him about something, so Tate asks what’s going on. Brady reveals that he’s moving out of the townhouse which shocks Tate.

Sophia and Rachel play cards at Bayview. Rachel complains about the dinner they got and that she’s starving. Rachel says she’ll ask Brady to bring them Buddy’s Burgers when he comes tomorrow. Sophia then suggests that she go get them some right now.

Stephanie is in her hotel in Chicago, on the phone with Steve. Stephanie tells him that the book signing went great, the turnout was huge, and her fans were so nice. Stephanie says she won’t be sight seeing as she is in for the night. Stephanie says she loves him as they hang up. Someone in all black appears outside of Stephanie’s room again.

Tate questions Brady moving out. Brady explains that he and Marlena are not seeing eye to eye lately when it comes to Rachel, so he doesn’t think it’s a good idea that they live under the same roof right now. Tate argues that it doesn’t make sense because Marlena has always had his back, especially when it comes to Rachel, so he asks what’s really going on here. Brady says that’s between he and Marlena and he just thinks it’s for the best. Tate says not for him. Brady feels it’s a long time coming that he get his own place. Tate feels it will probably take awhile to find a place so he won’t be leaving right away but Brady reveals he’s actually leaving tonight. Tate questions where he’s going to live in the meantime.

Holly and Sarah talk about Victoria being excited for Christmas. Sarah asks what Holly’s plans are for tonight. Holly says Tate is meeting her at the dorms so they can spend as much time together as possible before she goes to Paris. Sarah knows they will miss each other but points out that Holly won’t be gone long. Sarah is glad that Holly and Tate worked things out. Holly wishes Sarah and Xander could’ve done the same and guesses because of that, it will feel like a sad Christmas this year. Sarah agrees but says that she and Xander aren’t meant to be so it’s for the best that they are not together. Sarah mentions signing the divorce papers and waiting on the official decree, so it’s just a matter of time before she gets to move on with her life without Xander in it.

Rachel questions Sophia thinking she’s just going to walk out of Bayview to get them Buddy’s Burgers. Sophia responds that Rachel is going to help her do it.

Chanel goes home where Paulina tells her that she just got Trey to sleep. Chanel thanks her as Paulina says it’s no trouble. Chanel talks about Paulina and Abe being patient with Trey. Chanel asks where Abe is. Paulina responds that Abe is not there and reveals that no one seems to know where Theo is.

Stephanie is startled by her hotel room door being opened so she goes to attack but it turns out to be Alex coming to surprise her.

Tate questions Brady moving in to the Kiriakis Mansion tonight. Brady calls it temporary but says that Maggie generously offered him a room for as long as he needs it. Tate questions what he’s supposed to do since the dorms are closing for the holidays. Brady assures him this has nothing to do with him as it’s between he and Marlena. Brady adds that Tate can stay with Marlena if he wants. Tate doesn’t know what he wants to do. Brady knows it’s sudden and a lot to take in. Brady says it’s entirely up to him but kind of hoped he’d like to come to the Kiriakis Mansion with him, so at least he’d have one of his kids with him during the holidays.

Sophia tells Rachel that she’s been scoping the place out since day one and thinks she found a crack in security. Sophia explains how she found out when one of the security guards always takes a smoke break, so she thinks she can sneak out and be back before anyone knows she’s missing. Sophia says she will need Rachel to have her back.

Chanel questions Theo missing. Paulina says that Abe went out to join the search but adds that Chad is also missing and since Tony also went missing in Greece, the police think someone could be targeting the DiMera family. Chanel worries that means Johnny, her, or Trey could be next.

Stephanie panics that she could’ve hurt Alex and says she’s mad as hell that he would scare her like that, but she’s also very happy he’s there as she hugs him and they kiss. The person in all black outside the room drops their keycard as they turn and walk away.

Holly joins Tate at the dorms and asks if everything is okay. Tate says yes and no. Tate asks if she knew Brady was moving in to the Kiriakis Mansion. Holly says she was just there and Sarah didn’t say anything about it. Holly asks what’s going on. Tate says that apparently something went down between Brady and Marlena, but he wouldn’t tell him what it was. Tate guesses whatever it was, it was bad enough that Brady said he can’t be under the same roof as her.

Brady brings his bags to the Kiriakis Mansion where Sarah greets him and asks what all this is. Brady guesses Maggie didn’t tell her. Sarah says she’s been at work all day. Brady then reveals that he’s moving in.

Chanel tells Paulina that she was just on the phone with Johnny and he didn’t tell her anything about this. Paulina feels he obviously didn’t know what was going on and now that he does, he’s already on his way home from Chicago to protect them. Chanel worries about something happening to Johnny too. Paulina tells her not to go there and promises to make sure their family is safe as they hug.

Alex asks about Stephanie’s book signing. She tells him it went very well. Alex asks if there was no signs of the creepy letter writing guy. Stephanie says no and that she told him there was nothing to worry about. Alex informs her that the guy sent more letters and it’s making his skin crawl. Stephanie insists it’s just an overzealous, harmless fan and promises to ignore any love letters. Alex says he just wanted to make sure she was okay. Alex calls her perfect as they kiss.

Rachel asks Sophia what exactly she would have to do. Sophia says she just needs to go to her bed and put the covers over her head so that the nurse thinks she’s already asleep when she comes for bed checks, then come back to her room when they check on her. Sophia says then Rachel can let her in the side door and they will feast. Rachel is unsure. Sophia encourages her about Buddy’s Burgers, so Rachel gives in and agrees to do it.

Alex and Stephanie kiss in bed.

Brady assures Sarah that he won’t be there forever and it’s only until he finds a place. Sarah says there’s plenty of space and it’d be nice to have his company, but she’s just surprised as she didn’t know he was thinking about moving out of Marlena’s. Brady clarifies that he wasn’t until recently. Sarah asks what happened. Brady reveals that he found out Marlena knew that Rachel shot EJ and kept it from him for months. Sarah is surprised and says that doesn’t sound like Marlena. Brady explains that Marlena said she was looking out for Rachel and didn’t want the new to get out before she decided that Rachel could handle it. Sarah guesses that makes sense but Brady says not to him. Brady argues that he’s her dad and deserved to know what’s going on with his daughter. Brady feels if he knew what was happening, he could’ve helped her or prevented her from hurting Sarah and maybe she wouldn’t be in a mental institution now.

Rachel sneaks out of her room at Bayview.

Paulina assures Chanel that she will have police outside her apartment 24/7 until the situation is resolved. Paulina adds that Chanel, Johnny, and Trey could move in with her and Abe to get their personal security as well. Chanel argues that it didn’t help Theo. Paulina argues that they didn’t know Theo was in danger but now that they know there’s a threat, they will be on high alert until this is over. Chanel asks if she thinks Johnny or Trey could be a target. Paulina says there’s no way to know for sure. Chanel can’t believe this since Johnny disowned EJ and walked away from the DiMera family, yet they are all still in danger all because of their last name.

Holly asks if Tate is going to move in with Brady or stay with Marlena. Tate says that Brady said it was up to him, but he could tell that he wants to come with him. Holly points out that if Tate does go with Brady, they’ll be under the same roof for winter break. Tate points out that Holly will be in Paris. Holly says not the whole break and then points out that Arianna already moved back home, so they can focus on being in the dorm tonight all by themselves as they kiss.

Rachel hides under the covers in Sophia’s bed as the nurse comes for bed checks.

Tate and Holly kiss onto the bed.

The nurse leaves the room without detecting Rachel in Sophia’s place.

Brady tells Sarah that he wouldn’t be able to live with himself after what Rachel did to her. Sarah stops him and assures that she’s fine. Sarah adds that Rachel will be fine too. Brady prays that she’s right, pointing out that Rachel did shoot her uncle. Sarah points out that EJ is also fine now and it was just a terrible accident. Sarah talks about Rachel being through so much in her life, so it’s no wonder she needs the help she’s getting. Sarah says she loves Rachel and admits finding out what she did shook her, but it doesn’t change how she feels about her. Sarah talks about the bond they developed when she thought Rachel was her daughter and says it will always be there. Brady feels Rachel is lucky to have Sarah in her corner and in her life. Sarah goes over everything Rachel has been through and asks if there’s been any progress on finding Kristen. Brady says no and now he finds himself feeling guilt for being so angry at Kristen for putting Rachel on the stand during Johnny’s trial while she was just trying to protect her. Sarah asks if it changed his feelings about Kristen. Brady says as Rachel’s mother it does, but not as his ex.

Alex and Stephanie lay in bed together as Stephanie tells him that he can surprise her anytime he wants. Alex jokes that next time he’ll call first as they continue kissing.

Chanel asks Paulina if the police have any idea who could be behind all of this. Paulina responds that there are those who are suspicious of EJ. Chanel argues that EJ is capable of anything but they know he loves his family, so she can’t see him wanting to hurt Chad, Theo, or Tony and definitely not Johnny and Trey. Paulina agrees that she has a point. Chanel states that the DiMeras are all about family. Chanel brings up everything going on between her and EJ, feeling he obviously doesn’t consider her family so she’s the only DiMera she could see EJ wanting to hurt. Paulina says there is no way EJ is going to hurt her, especially after what he pulled during the trial, or else Johnny will never speak to him again. Paulina encourages Chanel to get some rest and says she’ll take care of Trey if he wakes up until Johnny comes home. Paulina assures Chanel that the police are out front and not going anywhere, so they will be just fine. Chanel tells her that she loves her and heads to her bedroom. Paulina then prays for her not to be made to be a liar.

Sophia returns to Rachel with Buddy’s Burgers. Rachel can’t believe she did it. Sophia encourages that they did it.

Sarah tells Brady that she knows it’s not the best circumstances but she’s glad he will be staying there awhile. Brady wants to make sure he’s not imposing. Sarah assures there’s plenty of room, pointing out there are 6 or 7 vacant guest rooms. Brady responds that he’s grateful to her and Maggie, adding that he’ll get to spend more time with Victoria. Sarah asks how Rachel is doing. Brady says every time he goes to see her at Bayview, she begs him to take her home, but she is making progress with therapy so he hopes she won’t be there very long. Sarah asks how he is doing. Brady says he’s just trying to be strong for Rachel’s sake, but he thinks about the pain she’s in and how unhappy she is. Brady calls it unfair as he wishes he could take her home where she belongs. Brady complains that little girls aren’t supposed to suffer like that and be unhappy. Brady comments on what she’s been through and asks when it’s going to stop. Brady repeats that it’s unfair as Sarah hugs him.

Rachel tells Sophia that she was so scared when the nurse came in but Sophia says she knew Rachel could handle it. Rachel asks how Sophia paid for their food. Sophia reveals that she “borrowed” some money out of one of the CNA’s purses. Rachel asks if she means she stole it. Sophia claims that she intends to pay it back someday which makes Rachel laugh as Sophia says it’s us against them. Rachel admits this is the most fun that she’s had since being here. Sophia calls Rachel her bestie and declares that the fun’s not over yet as their adventures are just beginning.

Holly suggests instead of going to live with Brady or staying with Marlena, Tate come with her to Paris. Tate asks if she’s serious. Holly says Eric and Nicole have tons of room and talks about how amazing Paris is. Tate agrees it sounds amazing and decides to go with her.

Alex tells Stephanie that he can’t stop thinking about the future and where he wants to be in five years. Alex hopes maybe they will be married, starting a family, and growing old together. Alex says he really likes the idea of them being together forever and asks if that scares her. Stephanie says not at all and that he’s making her heart beat faster in a happy way. Alex then asks where she sees herself in five years. Stephanie says definitely in his arms as they kiss. Stephanie’s laptop is on DevotedBeyond.com where a post from “SandsFan69” says that they are so in love with Anastasia Sands and that they could finally be together if only they could get rid of her loser boyfriend.

Days of Our Lives Update

 

Update written by Joseph

Rafe remains on the phone with Jada and asks her to have JJ keep an eye on Thomas and Charlotte while he assigns a protective detail to the rest of the DiMeras. Rafe adds that he just talked to Sami and she has Sydney covered while Johnny is in Chicago with Stephanie, but they have security on them too. Rafe agrees that it would be good to have someone on baby Trey right as Javi comes home and asks what’s going on with Trey.

Leo sits at the Brady Pub, working on an article for the Spectator about Chad missing when Gwen arrives and sees his screen, shocked to learn that Chad is missing.

Chad and Kristen argue about whether or not EJ is behind their kidnapping while Tony attempts to sleep. Chad argues that EJ being behind it doesn’t make sense. Theo agrees that if EJ were after their inheritance, there would be better ways to go about it than locking them down here. Kristen decides it doesn’t matter since EJ wouldn’t be able to get all of their inheritance unless they were all dead and gone. Chad declares that whoever is behind this is not going to win and they will get home to their families. Chad states that because they are DiMeras, they will win.

Dr. Rolf works in his lab with dead rats.

EJ and Cat lean in close to one another until Susan walks in and startles them.

Leo guesses he should refrain from writing headlines in public. Gwen asks if it’s true that Chad is really missing. Leo confirms it is and says she can save her performance because he knows she doesn’t really care about Chad. Gwen argues that it wasn’t long ago that Leo was treating Chad miserably. Leo admits that he has behaved towards Chad in the past in ways he deeply regrets. Gwen says she regrets it too and isn’t proud of it. Leo calls it nice to just admit things and he’s glad they’ve established that despite their past crappy treatment of Chad, they both care about him. Leo says now their cards are on the table and asks what they are going to do about it.

Rafe finishes his call with Jada while Javi questions why he was talking to Jada about Trey. Rafe responds that apparently, several DiMeras have gone missing in recent days, starting with Tony, then Chad, and now Theo. Rafe says that no one can get a hold of any of them. Javi tries to laugh off what could’ve happened but questions if Rafe thinks they have been kidnapped. Rafe says that is the official presumption, but there’s been no ransom demand so they are puzzled and don’t know if they are dead or alive. Javi calls it awful as Rafe explains that they are short on manpower, so they can’t put someone on every extended member of the DiMera family which now includes baby Trey. Javi questions if Johnny can’t afford to hire someone. Javi declares that if he won’t, he will move in with Johnny and Chanel himself because he will not lose another child.

Susan questions what the hell EJ is doing and says she knows she saw him with his brother’s girlfriend and they were definitely not playing checkers. Susan asks what is the matter with him. Cat thinks back to drugging EJ’s drink. EJ responds that he honestly doesn’t know and apologizes to Cat, saying it was highly inappropriate to make that kind of advance. EJ says he’s not feeling very well, so Susan checks if he has a fever. Susan notes he’s a little warm but not burning up. EJ says he’s probably just tired so he tells Cat they will have to take a rain check on dinner. Cat tells EJ to rest up and tells Susan it was nice to meet her. EJ tells Cat that she will be the first to know if he hears from Chad. Cat thanks him and exits.

Kristen asks what Chad’s master plan is then since she and Tony have had no success. Chad suggests climbing up to bust through the roof, but Kristen says it’s too high up and she doesn’t trust them to be on top. Theo calls it the simplest possible solution.

Gwen asks if Leo just asked what they are going to do about Chad’s disappearance, pointing out that they don’t work for law enforcement. Leo says he’s no policeman but he is an investigative reporter while Gwen lives with EJ. Leo declares it’s time to get the band back together because when Gwen and Leo work together like a buddy cop movie, they are an unstoppable force. Gwen admits they worked together well until Leo decided he worked better with her husband. Leo says he will regret that until his dying breath and that he’s gone over the extensive damage that caused with his therapist. Leo suggests this could be one of the steps to making amends by working together for the greater good. Leo argues that they both know EJ is suspect #1. Gwen asks what makes him say that. Leo says police always look at family first and asks who else would be able to make DiMeras disappear without a trace, adding that no one would stand to benefit more than EJ.

Susan questions what EJ and Cat were talking about regarding Chad. EJ informs her that Chad and Theo have apparently gone missing. Susan calls that awful and questions two of EJ’s brothers missing and now his nephew. EJ tells her not to worry about him as he’s fine and promises his guard is up. Susan responds that she’s worried that EJ is up to no good and that he’s the one who made his brothers disappear.

Kristen is on the floor, screaming in pain with a sprained ankle after the plan to boost her up didn’t work out. Kristen refuses Chad’s help as he apologizes and calls it an accident. Kristen then decides she does need his help, but not with her ankle, with her daughter. Kristen says since she’s been in prison, Brady barely lets her talk to Rachel, let alone see her, so she wants to know how she’s doing. Chad says he told her about the pumpkin thing. Kristen brings up Thomas and Rachel being in the same class, so they must tell him something. Chad thinks Rachel has been acting out. Kristen says that’s to be expected because she misses her mother. Kristen continues to accuse Chad of not telling her something and she wants to know what’s going on. Chad says Rachel is not exactly the best influence on Thomas, but she’s his niece and he loves her while she’s going through a lot. Kristen argues that Thomas is too since he wants to live with Jack and Jennifer. Theo tells them that’s enough. Theo brings up how Abe told him it was a mistake to work with the DiMeras, but he told him that it was his choice. Theo is starting to think that Abe was right.

Rafe tells Javi not to worry as they have no information to indicate Trey is in any danger. Rafe says he only suggested keeping an eye on him and the rest of the DiMeras out of an abundance of caution. Javi apologizes for getting crazy there and says that’s good to hear. Cat then shows up at the door. Javi questions what she is doing there.

Gwen tells Leo that she’s a bit skeptical. Leo questions if she doesn’t think EJ is capable of disappearing his relatives. Gwen thinks back to questioning EJ about Tony’s disappearance and pointing out how they did so to Dimitri. Gwen tells Leo that it seems a bit extreme to do something so cruel. Gwen says she knows EJ cares for his family, especially Tony and Chad, so she doesn’t think he’s the culprit in this. Leo suggests Gwen could have a crush on EJ and that’s why she’s on his team now. Gwen denies that and declares that if she does hear anything about Chad, the police will be the first to know and not Leo. Gwen then gets up and leaves the Pub.

Kristen tells Theo that she is sorry that he had to rejoin the fold, only to get locked up with them. Chad says if EJ is responsible for this, he would have to disappear a lot more of them to get his hands on the inheriance. Chad brings up Megan and asks where she is. Kristen says she has no idea but doubts Megan would resurface to claim her piece, because she knows the police would arrest her as soon as she stepped foot in Salem. Chad brings up Stefan while Kristen brings up Peter. Theo says he forgot about Peter. Chad says everybody does. Kristen says that’s enough naming DiMeras and they need to focus on getting out of here. Theo declares that it’s time for plan B.

Susan asks EJ again if he had anything to do with his brothers vanishing. EJ questions why people keep asking him that and assures he did not. Susan argues that there is something off about Cat and there’s something about her that she just does not trust.

Cat apologizes for not calling first. Javi jokes that no one calls first around here. Rafe asks what’s going on. Cat says she just brought a thank you card for taking care of her nephew and it’s a gift card to the Bakery. Javi thanks her and says he has to get going to meet Leo for dinner, so he exits. Rafe tells Cat that was close. Cat apologizes and says she was texting Rafe and he wasn’t responding but she needed to speak with him. Rafe asks what’s going on. Cat responds that she doesn’t know where to start.

Javi joins Leo at the Pub as Leo is still working on his article about Chad missing. Javi says he has something to tell him that’s not good news. Javi explains that he just talked to Rafe and he can add Theo to the list of missing people. Javi adds that Rafe thinks someone is going after all the DiMeras. Javi says there’s no reason for them to think Trey would be in any kind of danger, but he’s honestly worried. Leo says they have to do something and suggests EJ might have answers. Javi asks how to get those answers. Javi suggests they follow EJ around and record his every move which Leo calls brilliant. Javi worries it could take a lot of time, but Leo says it won’t because someone has already done the work for them.

Cat explains to Rafe that she was beginning to think EJ had something to do with Chad’s disappearance, so she did something to spark EJ’s memory and remind him that they were in the clinic together. Rafe thought they decided that was a bad idea. Cat says maybe it was, but it worked and she got invited to dinner and drinks at the DiMera Mansion, but by the time she got there, Chad was already missing. Rafe questions what Cat did. Cat reveals that she drugged EJ to search the mansion which shocks Rafe, who asks if she’s crazy.

EJ tells Susan that there is nothing off about Cat. Susan says he doesn’t have to snap and that she’s just looking out for him. EJ understands and assures that he just needs a good night’s sleep. Susan feels the same and exits. EJ then gets a text and hurries out of the mansion.

Kristen talks to Chad and Theo about trying to dig her way out of the crypt but getting nowhere. Theo says they need some kind of tool and takes from the burial wall. Theo suggests maybe they’ll get somewhere now that there’s four of them.

Rafe can’t believe Cat drugged EJ. Cat asks what choice she had when Chad is missing and she wasn’t just going to do nothing. Cat argues that it’s what Rafe would’ve done. Rafe argues that she is not a trained agent and is not to go off and take matters in to her own hands. Rafe warns Cat how dangerous the DiMeras are. Cat insists that it worked and EJ is none the wiser. Cat says she chose this drug because when EJ came around, he didn’t even know passed out and thought he just dozed off for a minute. Rafe asks if there were no signs to being drugged. Cat flashes back to when she and EJ almost kissed. Cat then tells Rafe there was nothing out of the ordinary and asks him to trust her. Cat calls it a perfect plan and says he will not believe what she found.

Susan returns to the living room to retrieve her purse as Dr. Rolf emerges from the tunnels. Susan questions what he’s doing there.

Leo tells Javi that Holly shared a video with him from the gala that shows EJ bragging to everyone because it’s such a huge project to him. Leo then remembers that the gala was the day Kristen broke out of prison, so he wonders if Kristen is missing at all. Leo believes the clinic could be the key to whatever plot that EJ is cooking up, so there could be a clue in the video.

EJ angrily goes to the clinic and questions Gwen as to what was so important. Gwen asks if EJ is behind the DiMeras missing. EJ tells her not to start. Gwen complains that she knows what he’s capable of and has put a lot of money in to this big plan of his. EJ tells her to calm down. Gwen brings up EJ telling her that Dr. Rolf mixing Versavix can become a powerful concoction that can expound Dr. Rolf’s ability to bring people back to life, starting with the person in the pod and they would be rich if he succeeds. EJ asks what the issue is. Gwen complains that she’s running out of patience and asks what the hell is taking so long. EJ questions her wondering why Dr. Rolf hasn’t put a rush on the miracle of life. EJ yells at her that they are very lucky Dr. Rolf is working for them and he has far more pressing matters to attend to, like his brothers missing and no one has a damn clue where they are.

Cat tells Rafe that she searched EJ’s room, office, and closet. Rafe asks what she found. Cat says nothing was out of the ordinary but then shows him pictures of the secret room in the tunnels and asks what he notices. Rafe says it wouldn’t be the first time that EJ had someone hiding out in his basement and asks if she thinks it’s Kristen. Cat shows Rafe the photo of the shoes that are men’s size 11 so it’s definitely not Kristen. Rafe asks who she thinks it is then.

Susan asks Dr. Rolf again what he’s doing there. Dr. Rolf responds that he told EJ that he was visiting Salem, so he kindly offered him a place to stay. Susan questions that being in the secret room instead of one of the extra bedrooms or at the Salem Inn. Dr. Rolf says he was seeking a quiet lodging away from the crowd. Susan questions what he’s doing in the basement. Dr. Rolf claims he’s in the middle of a crime novel that he would like to get back to and goes back in to the tunnels.

Kristen tells Chad and Theo that it’s an improvement but not great. Chad compares it to the movie Escape From Alcatraz. Theo seems to find something in the ground.

Leo and Javi watch the gala video. Leo brings up finding Gwen at the clinic lab on the night of the blackout and now Gwen is living in the DiMera Mansion. They wonder if Gwen is EJ’s partner in crime.

Dr. Rolf joins EJ and Gwen at the lab. Gwen asks him how much longer his drug will bring dead rats back to life. Dr. Rolf says it won’t be anytime soon but they have a bigger problem as Susan spotted him at the mansion and he could tell that she sensed something was amiss. EJ calls that the last thing he needs right now.

Susan talks to the portrait of Stefano about Dr. Rolf being down in the secret room and wonders what Stefano knows about it.

Cat tells Rafe that she doesn’t know who is in EJ’s basement but they know someone is. Rafe admits it’s valuable information but it doesn’t confirm that EJ is behind Chad’s disappearance. Rafe warns that she could’ve risked her cover or her life for nothing. Cat argues that it’s not for nothing and if EJ didn’t take Chad, they could mark him off the suspect list. Rafe says that he knows how she feels about Chad but repeats that what she did was dangerous and unethical as she is not a trained agent. Rafe argues Cat that he would say she’d be about blown off the case but he’s not going to do that. Cat thanks him but Rafe warns that if she goes off on her own again, he will call Shane. Cat says she understands and gives her word that she won’t do anything like this again. Cat apologizes for acting impulsively as she’s just desperate to find Chad.

Theo reveals to Chad and Kristen that he found a bone and that it looks like it’s from a human.
