Alex informs her that he&#8217;s taking the day off from work to spend some time with her as they kiss. Stephanie points out that they are both free, so she asks what he wants to do. Alex responds that he had an idea to surprise her as they kiss.<\/p>\n<p>Xander walks Victoria through the town square. Johnny comes by, having found that Victoria dropped her teddy bear and returns it. Johnny then informs Xander that he will not be settling the lawsuit. Xander says he&#8217;s heard and that he&#8217;s also heard Johnny&#8217;s being telling everyone around town that he and Kate set him up, commenting that it must be easier than admitting his own incompetence. Xander advises Johnny to cease and desist unless he wants to get hit with further litigation. Johnny questions Xander threatening him when he knows exactly what he and Kate did. Sarah walks up and asks what&#8217;s going on.<\/p>\n<p>Marlena goes to the Brady Pub, where Brady invites her to join him and asks if everything is okay. Marlena responds that it&#8217;s not as she just came from Bayview to try and visit Rachel before her sessions began, but Kristen has barred her from seeing Rachel. Brady is shocked and says hell no.<\/p>\n<p>EJ enters the living room of the DiMera Mansion and greets Kristen. EJ informs her that he is heading to probate court because he learned a codicil had been filed in regards to Stefano&#8217;s will by some overseas law firm. EJ says he&#8217;s not surprised since it had been years since it was drawn up. Kristen calls it an intriguing plot twist and asks if EJ is worried that Stefano cut him out of his will. EJ says no, but suggests Kristen should be worried.<\/p>\n<p>Alex tells Stephanie that she seems to be doing better. Stephanie admits she slept better and they think it&#8217;s because of the gun Steve brought her. Stephanie says it helps her feel like she&#8217;s taking control of her life. Alex says now she has to learn how to use it and how not to use it. Alex asks if Steve brought a gun case and a safe. Stephanie confirms that he did and that he&#8217;s taking her to the shooting range later, so they&#8217;ll have to be back from Alex&#8217;s surprise plans before then as they kiss.<\/p>\n<p>Xander tells Sarah that he and Johnny were just discussing business. Johnny says that discussion is now over and tells Sarah it was nice to see her as he walks away. Sarah questions Xander intimidating his competition in front of their daughter. Xander argues that Johnny isn&#8217;t meaningful competition and is just a figurehead for DiMera. Sarah points out that DiMera is thriving. Xander questions her being team Johnny. Sarah says she always has been and calls him a great guy, adding that Xander was team Johnny too until he decided to go toe to toe with him. Sarah points out that Johnny is happily married with a beautiful child and another on the way while CEO of his company and remarks that she would call him competition and say that Xander is jealous of him.<\/p>\n<p>Brady tells Marlena that Kristen has no right to bar her from seeing Rachel as they share custody. Brady argues that Rachel needs all the love and support she can get. Marlena suggests giving Kristen a day or two to calm down so they don&#8217;t start another war. Brady responds that the war has already begun since Kristen stormed out of his apartment, saying she never wants to see his face again. Brady complains that Kristen puts everything in to her revenge tour instead of Rachel. Brady declares that Kristen is in for a surprise because he&#8217;s not going to let her stop Marlena from seeing Rachel and promises to take care of this.<\/p>\n<p>Kristen tells EJ not to get too cocky. EJ says he doesn&#8217;t have time for this idiocy. Kristen complains about EJ wearing Stefano&#8217;s ring backwards. EJ argues that she&#8217;s just jealous that Dr. Rolf gave the ring to him instead of her. Kristen argues that all she wants is access to the entire family home, including the tunnels, so she wants those access codes. EJ argues that the tunnels are not safe. Kristen says they aren&#8217;t safe if someone finds out what&#8217;s going on down there. EJ tells her that she&#8217;s being ridiculous and suggests she worry about getting her own house in order. Kristen asks what the hell that&#8217;s supposed to mean. EJ tells her to focus on her daughter facing mental health challenges. Kristen calls him a bastard and argues that everything she does is for Rachel. EJ says they&#8217;ve all heard that story again and again, but Rachel is in a nuthouse so maybe it&#8217;s time to look in the mirror. Kristen then slaps EJ.<\/p>\n<p>Alex surprises Stephanie by bringing her skydiving. Stephanie says she&#8217;s thrilled and talks about not going skydiving in years. Alex recalls doing it one time before a job interview. Dave the instructor comes in and greets them. Dave recognizes Stephanie from her picture in the paper and realizes that she&#8217;s Steve&#8217;s daughter. Dave talks about hiring Steve one time and calls him a hell of a private investigator. After he exits, Alex and Stephanie talk about nothing ruining their fun and how they can&#8217;t wait to skydive together. Alex declares they&#8217;ll have a lifetime of adventures to go as they kiss.<\/p>\n<p>Marlena tells Brady that she doesn&#8217;t think running Basic Black with Kate is going to work out. Brady asks if it has to do with Johnny&#8217;s accusations against Kate and if she thinks Kate set him up. Marlena responds that she doesn&#8217;t know, but after hearing what Johnny said, her first thought was Kate wouldn&#8217;t do that but then she wasn&#8217;t sure. Marlena says she really wants Basic Black to go forward and that it needs to be run by members of John&#8217;s family. Marlena adds that if she can&#8217;t rely on Kate to run the business part, she&#8217;ll have to find someone else. Brady says he&#8217;s not part of the company anymore, but he can help and would be willing to do that until she finds someone more permanent. Marlena says that would be amazing and thanks him. Marlena says she&#8217;s so grateful that she will call Xander to accept the position.<\/p>\n<p>Xander asks if Sarah is going to continue going on about Johnny and lecturing him or if she has questions about their daughter. Sarah asks Victoria if she&#8217;s having fun with her dad. Victoria responds that she&#8217;s having the best time. Xander says she slept through the night and when they woke up, they had breakfast together and remarks that she didn&#8217;t seem to miss her at all. Sarah responds that what they want is for Victoria to be comfortable with him and with her. Xander then walks away with Victoria.<\/p>\n<p>Kristen warns EJ to keep her daughter&#8217;s name out of his mouth. EJ responds that violence is never the answer, but he realizes her suffering as a parent. Kristen argues that he has no idea what she&#8217;s feeling. EJ remarks that at least her daughter loves her while for a very long time, Johnny shunned him so he does know the pain of feeling like your child has lost you. Kristen mocks this as a performance while EJ says he was being sincere and apologizes for hurting her feelings. EJ says he does care about his niece and he&#8217;s sure she will be released from Bayview soon. Kristen asks if he&#8217;s spoken with her doctors. EJ says he&#8217;s just speculating, but one thing he&#8217;s very sure of is that if she ever lays another hand on him, he will not turn the other cheek. EJ warns Kristen that if she thinks what happened to her mom was bad, she does not want to go to war with him. EJ then storms out of the room. Kristen mutters telling him to bring it on.<\/p>\n<p>Alex and Stephanie return from skydiving and talk about how amazing it was. Alex talks about his adrenaline while Stephanie says it was just what she needed. Alex suggests doing it again and says he loves her so much as they kiss.<\/p>\n<p>Brady texts Kristen, questioning how dare she try to stop Marlena from visiting Rachel and warning that he&#8217;ll be happy to have the judge explain shared custody to her. Sarah arrives and apologizes for being late, saying that a run in with Xander made her blood boil. Brady asks what happened. Sarah complains that she walked up on Xander arguing with Johnny in front of their daughter and then had the nerve to say Victoria didn&#8217;t miss her. Brady relates to Kristen making him so angry he could punch a hole in the wall. Sarah asks if they should do something about it.<\/p>\n<p>Marlena goes to see Xander at Titan and says she came to talk about joining Basic Black. Xander says he&#8217;s heard from Maggie and Kate that she was interested and he calls it a fantastic idea. Marlena informs him that after careful consideration, she&#8217;s decided she doesn&#8217;t want to work with Kate. Xander doesn&#8217;t understand and asks why not. Marlena responds that she has her reasons, but she does want to take the position and that Brady has agreed to consult so they will have him to help until they find someone to replace Kate. Xander questions Marlena deciding that and says he&#8217;s the one that decides, so the answer is no.<\/p>\n<p>EJ confronts Sophia in the town square and questions what the hell she thinks she&#8217;s doing. Sophia responds that she&#8217;s reading a book. EJ questions her showing her face in town after her disruptive sideshow at Johnny and Chanel&#8217;s adoption. Sophia remarks that she&#8217;s surprised EJ still has a son after what he put them through during Johnny&#8217;s attempted murder trial, but guesses he&#8217;s back in their good graces after making sure they could raise her baby. EJ tells Sophia to do everyone a favor and get the hell out of Salem. Sophia asks if he&#8217;s going to make her disappear if she doesn&#8217;t. Sophia adds that she&#8217;s not scared of EJ. EJ warns that she doesn&#8217;t need to be scared for him to ruin her. Kristen interrupts and asks if EJ has nothing better to do than threaten an 18 year old girl. Kristen asks Sophia if EJ has upset her. Sophia says it&#8217;s okay but Kristen says it&#8217;s not. Kristen questions EJ intimidating Sophia while she was minding her own business. EJ asks what business it is of Kristen&#8217;s. Kristen responds that she knows Sophia well since she and Rachel became friends in Bayview which EJ mocks. Kristen states that when Rachel was in a tough spot, Sophia had her back and helped her out which is a foreign concept to EJ. Kristen warns EJ to stay away from Sophia. EJ reminds Kristen that he won&#8217;t be turning another cheek this time while Kristen warns him not to push her. EJ says he doesn&#8217;t need to push her as he&#8217;ll just stand back and wait for the collapse that always comes. EJ warns Sophia that this is far from over as he walks away. Sophia then remarks to Kristen that EJ is a little bitch which Kristen agrees with.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah brings Brady to the rage room that he brought her too before to unleash her anger, saying she feels like they could both use it today.<\/p>\n<p>Alex and Stephanie ask Dave to go skydiving again, so he goes to check the schedule. Stephanie talks about how Alex has been trying so hard to give her what she needs and she knows it hasn&#8217;t been easy, but he never gave up on her. Stephanie didn&#8217;t realize that what she needed was this. Stephanie says skydiving should be terrifying but it wasn&#8217;t, because she had him there. Alex says they had each other and that&#8217;s how it&#8217;s always going to be from now on. They kiss until Dave comes back and says he&#8217;s at capacity, but he feels they will come up with something to do. They agree as they exit.<\/p>\n<p>EJ goes to the Brady Pub and finishes a call as Johnny arrives. EJ wishes he could stay and chat but he has to get to probate court about Stefano&#8217;s will. EJ knows Johnny once said he doesn&#8217;t want any of that DiMera blood money, but points out that it can be used for good and to help make sure his beautiful family never wants for anything. EJ hopes Johnny will reconsider his earlier position and eventually accept what is rightfully his.<\/p>\n<p>Marlena questions Xander telling her no. Xander argues that she doesn&#8217;t know the first thing about the fashion industry or running a business while Kate is an expert in both. Xander adds that if her decision is based on something said or not said during his therapy session, that would be unethical.<\/p>\n<p>Alex and Stephanie return home. They kiss as Alex jokes that he can&#8217;t believe he almost took her bowling. Stephanie says skydiving was perfect. Alex promises her a lifetime of adventures. Stephanie says she can&#8217;t wait as they continue kissing.<\/p>\n<p>Brady and Sarah take bats to tires in punching bags to unleash their anger towards Xander and Kristen in the rage room, then they clear off a table of glass and laugh together.<\/p>\n<p>Sophia tells Kristen that she read up a lot on personality disorders in Bayview and EJ checks a lot of boxes. Kristen calls him an arrogant, narcissistic jerk. Sophia says every family has issues but guesses she&#8217;s lucky that her parents were overprotective and her brothers were annoying, but they really love each other and she&#8217;s really going to miss them so much. Kristen asks if Sophia is going soft on her now. Sophia says no, but that EJ is right that she needs to leave Salem and start a brand new life. Kristen responds that&#8217;s exactly what she&#8217;s going to do after she completes her mission.<\/p>\n<p>Johnny tells EJ that he won&#8217;t have to think about his inheritance for a long time because EJ is alive and well and is going to stay that way for a long time. EJ says he certainly hopes so, but life has it&#8217;s own agenda. Johnny says that&#8217;s why you have to make every moment count or at least try. EJ asks if he&#8217;s alright. Johnny says he&#8217;s fine and everything is fine. EJ says they will pick this up later as he exits the Pub.<\/p>\n<p>Marlena asks if Xander is going to lecture her about ethics after what he and Kate did to Johnny. Xander understands her frustration but in order for Basic Black to survive and thrive, she needs to partner with someone who knows what they are doing. Marlena says that&#8217;s why she suggested Brady. Xander argues that Brady was very checked out which is why he had to fire him while Marlena argues that he fired Brady for having a relationship with his ex-wife. Xander says if Titan had more leeway financially, he might experiment with Brady again but they don&#8217;t. Xander adds that John was a brave and kind man, but he&#8217;s knowledge of the fashion world was limited. Marlena calls that not true, arguing that John made Basic Black a success. Xander states that Kate did that and that John made the right decision in hiring her. Xander says he&#8217;s now doing the same thing by hiring the same person to do the same for Marlena. Xander calls Kate iconic and perfect for the job, adding that Marlena will do this with Kate or she won&#8217;t do it at all.<\/p>\n<p>Alex and Stephanie continue kissing. Stephanie tells Alex that if she didn&#8217;t have to go meet her dad, she would have her way with him right here. Alex says he&#8217;ll be waiting for her to get back as they resume kissing.<\/p>\n<p>Brady and Sarah talk about feeling better after the rage room. Brady tells Sarah that watching her in there was a huge turn on. Sarah suggests Brady take her back to his place as they kiss.<\/p>\n<p>Sophia asks Kristen when they are going to do it. Kristen responds that when the time comes to pull the trigger, she will let her know. Kristen warns Sophia not to screw this up as she walks away.<\/p>\n<p>EJ returns to the Pub. Johnny notes that was fast. EJ says it turns out his presence was not required in court as it turns out, he&#8217;s no longer the executor of the estate, but Theo is. Johnny wonders what else Stefano changed. EJ says they won&#8217;t find out until the will reading. EJ adds that Marlena has been added to the list of beneficiaries.<\/p>\n<p>Xander asks Marlena if she will work with Kate or not. Marlena doesn&#8217;t like ultimatums. Xander says he&#8217;s simply stating his position while Marlena argues that he&#8217;s trying to paint her in to a corner which she finds disappointing and infuriating. Marlena declares that she has nothing more to say and walks out of the office.<\/p>\n<p>Alex answers the door at home and is shocked to see Joy Wesley has returned to Salem.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/index.php\/daytime\/days\/\">Back to the Main Days of Our Lives Page<\/a><\/p>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- TVMEGBODY -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1056557952271337\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8801203268\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvmeg.com\/index.php\/2021\/12\/30\/daytime-soap-updates\/\">Back to the Main Daytime Updates Page<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6108\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/daysanim.gif\" alt=\"Days of Our Lives cast animated GIF\" width=\"137\" height=\"153\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Days of Our Lives Update &nbsp; Update written by Joseph Alex wakes up and greets Stephanie in the living room.
