Alex asks what she&#8217;s doing there. Joy responds that she wanted to introduce him to someone as she reveals a baby.<\/p>\n<p>Liam goes to the book store where Arianna greets him and asks if he&#8217;s looking for a book. Liam responds that he works there now and it&#8217;s his first day. Arianna remembers he had an interview with Julie and congratulates him on getting the job. Arianna guesses he&#8217;ll be seeing a lot of her for the next couple of days since she has finals coming up and this is her study spot. Liam abruptly says he&#8217;ll leave her to it and walks away, leaving Arianna disappointed.<\/p>\n<p>Gabi goes to meet Philip at Titan. Philip presents her with their proposal to handle Gabi Chic&#8217;s international distribution. Gabi thanks him for putting it together so quickly. Philip hopes their offer is satisfactory. Gabi brings up Xander being on his way to Chicago for a meeting and wonders how far Philip will go to satisfy his client as she locks the door. Gabi says she has a few demands as they kiss.<\/p>\n<p>Steve and Brady bring Stephanie to the shooting range and praise her first shot.<\/p>\n<p>Joy introduces Alex to her daughter Kelsey. Alex is surprised and guesses a lot has changed in a little over a year. Joy then reveals to Alex that Kelsey is their daughter.<\/p>\n<p>Steve finishes going over gun safety as Brady thanks them for letting him join and tells Stephanie that it&#8217;s really cool that she&#8217;s doing this. Stephanie tells Brady the same and says they are all really happy that he&#8217;s joining Black Patch. Brady thanks her and says he&#8217;s excited but nervous while Steve encourages this practice. Stephanie comments that she learns better when she&#8217;s competing against someone and suggests Steve keep score, so Brady accepts the challenge.<\/p>\n<p>Sophia goes to the book store and greets Arianna, commenting on how long it&#8217;s been since she&#8217;s seen her. Arianna comments on Sophia getting her voice back. Sophia asks if Holly is there. Arianna says no, so Sophia asks if she knows where she is. Arianna asks if Sophia wants to drug her again. Sophia tries to deny that but Arianna cuts her off and tells her to stay the hell away from Holly.<\/p>\n<p>Gabi and Philip begin to undress as they continue kissing in the Titan office. Philip clears off his desk and kisses Gabi onto the desk until someone knocks at the door. They ignore it so the person goes away and they resume kissing on the desk.<\/p>\n<p>Alex questions Joy saying it&#8217;s their baby, pointing out that he and Stephanie were there when Joy got her pregnancy test results. Joy admits that she lied about the test being negative which Alex questions. Joy explains that Alex and Stephanie had just gotten back together, so she wasn&#8217;t going to be the loser standing in the way of their happiness. Alex questions her just pretending everything was okay and taking off. Joy argues that it wasn&#8217;t an easy decision as she went back and forth on whether or not to tell him. Joy adds that before she left, she almost confessed but she couldn&#8217;t help but think of how relieved he was when she told him it was a false alarm, so she assumed he didn&#8217;t want the baby. Joy says after growing up feeling like a kid that wasn&#8217;t wanted, she wasn&#8217;t going to do that to her baby. Alex argues that he hasn&#8217;t seen her or heard from her in over a year, then she shows up at his door and admits that she was dishonest about something huge. Alex declares that if she was okay being dishonest with him then, maybe she is now too. Alex asks how he knows for sure that the baby is his.<\/p>\n<p>Brady impresses at the shooting range, then when Stephanie takes her turn, she starts having flashbacks to being tied up and storms out. Steve and Brady follow her out as Stephanie complains that she&#8217;s getting worse while Steve encourages that she&#8217;s still learning. Stephanie says she&#8217;s done but Steve advises her to visualize the target before pulling the trigger and convinces her to try again.<\/p>\n<p>Philip jokes to Gabi that Xander should take meetings in Chicago more often. Gabi looks over his proposal as Philip says it&#8217;s the best they can do, but guesses it&#8217;s not good enough. Gabi admits DiMera would keep her costs lower. Philip explains that it really is the best Titan can afford and says he&#8217;s sorry as they really wanted to partner with Gabi on this. Gabi responds that she really wanted to partner with him too which is why she&#8217;s giving her contract to Titan, surprising Philip.<\/p>\n<p>Sophia complains to Arianna that Holly would start a rumor that she drugged her and claims she was an easy target since she couldn&#8217;t talk. Arianna tells her to drop the act because she&#8217;s not fooling anyone. Sophia responds that she knows who her real friends are and they aren&#8217;t liars and fakes like Arianna and Holly. Arianna asks who that leaves, pointing out that she screwed Rachel over so she hates her now like everyone else. Arianna declares that Sophia has no friends and if she wants to know why, she can look in the mirror. Sophia complains that Arianna and Holly think they are so better than her when they were one broken condom away from being in her shoes too. Arianna argues that Sophia can&#8217;t keep blaming everything on her pregnancy and goes over how she tried to set up Johnny, lied about Tate being the father of her baby, and drugged Holly. Sophia argues that she went to a psychiatric ward for help and has only been out for two days, so she tells her to stop trying to send her back over the edge. Arianna asks if Sophia took her meds today or if she&#8217;s using them to poison someone else she&#8217;s jealous of. Sophia calls her a bitch and says she can&#8217;t believe she ever thought she was her friend.<\/p>\n<p>Steve guides Stephanie as she tries the shooting range again. Stephanie has flashbacks of Owen as she then successfully shoots the target twice.<\/p>\n<p>Liam comes over to Sophia and Arianna to ask if there&#8217;s a problem. Sophia says no but Arianna says yes. Liam tells Sophia that if she&#8217;s causing trouble, he&#8217;s going to have to ask her to leave. Sophia asks what about Arianna. Liam responds that he knows her and doesn&#8217;t think she&#8217;s the problem. Sophia decides she&#8217;ll go buy her books elsewhere then and exits. Arianna thanks Liam. Liam responds that he&#8217;s just doing his job.<\/p>\n<p>Philip tells Gabi that he was sure she&#8217;d take the better offer. Gabi repeats that it&#8217;s not only about money to her. Gabi feels DiMera is only trying to undercut Titan which makes her think they wouldn&#8217;t be good business partners and this goes beyond that. Gabi tells Philip that she wants to work with him because she knows and trusts him. Philip doesn&#8217;t want her to feel like it&#8217;s because they are together. Gabi admits she could save a little money by going to DiMera but she doesn&#8217;t know what&#8217;s going on over there with Theo walking away and Johnny staying on. Philip asks if she doesn&#8217;t think Johnny can handle it. Gabi calls him a rookie who screwed up and is now facing a lawsuit. Gabi says she likes Johnny but she wants to partner with an experienced CEO who will have her back. Philip asks if she&#8217;s sure. Gabi assures that she is and declares that Titan needs this deal and she needs his help. Gabi adds that maybe she owes him.<\/p>\n<p>Steve, Brady, and Stephanie go to the Brady Pub. Steve praises them for how they did at the shooting range. Stephanie comments that it helped to envision Owen as the target and remarks that part of her wishes she could put a bullet in him for real so she would know he&#8217;d never come back, but assures that she wouldn&#8217;t. Stephanie adds that she hopes she gets to testify against him. Steve notes that they are running a psych evaluation now to see if he&#8217;s fit for trial. Steve declares that Owen should&#8217;ve been locked up 17 years ago while Stephanie argues that Owen knew what he was doing and had a plan, but this time he got caught, so she&#8217;s going to make damn sure he faces justice.<\/p>\n<p>Joy asks if Alex doesn&#8217;t believe her. Alex says he didn&#8217;t say that but this is a lot. Joy points out that she wasn&#8217;t with anyone else, but says they can still do a DNA test right away if he wants. Joy says she&#8217;s not forcing him to do anything as she and Kelsey are fine, so he should only take the test if he wants to be part of her life. Alex realizes that he missed the birth of his first child and questions why Joy came back now. Joy responds that she heard through mutual friends that he was telling people he couldn&#8217;t wait to start a family, so she thought maybe she misjudged the situation and he would want to get to know his daughter. Alex responds that he absolutely would. Joy assures Alex that she is his and asks if he&#8217;d like to hold her. Alex admits that he would.<\/p>\n<p>Philip tells Gabi that she doesn&#8217;t owe him anything. Gabi says Philip has been there for her, so she wants to be there for him too. Philip says he&#8217;s been able to confide in her and share his feelings with her, but this is business. Gabi states that she made a business decision not to bring Gabi Chic back to Titan. Philip points out that she hated working for him and Xander. Gabi says things have changed, adding that she&#8217;d be working with them instead of for them. Gabi adds that she&#8217;s also living in the Kiriakis Mansion now. Gabi says they are in this together and she&#8217;s rooting for them. Philip assures that he&#8217;s thrilled and that she has no idea how much this means to him and Titan. Gabi offers to have the contracts drawn up but Philip says he&#8217;ll handle that and thanks her. Philip hopes he&#8217;s able to do something as meaningful for her soon. Gabi says he doesn&#8217;t have to but he wants to do whatever he can to bring her peace and happiness. Gabi feels the same but notes they do have to be careful because working with your significant other can be great but also can be dicey. Philip agrees it&#8217;s that way for other couples, but thinks it will be fantastic for them. Philip says he has to get to a meeting in the town square, so Gabi says she&#8217;ll see him at home later where they can celebrate their partnership. Philip says he&#8217;s looking forward to it as he exits.<\/p>\n<p>Arianna hears Liam on the phone trying to answer a customer asking about a book being in stock, so she gets up and finds it for him. Liam thanks her as she asks about his first day on the job. Arianna mentions that she&#8217;ll be in the corner studying if he needs any more help. Liam wishes her luck with her tests and quickly walks away.<\/p>\n<p>Steve asks Brady how the process of getting his private investigator license is going. Brady says they are waiting on his background check and feels he has a lot more to do and learn before considering himself Steve&#8217;s partner. Brady brings up Tate teaching martial arts and suggests lessons for self defense. Stephanie says to sign her up too. Steve loves her enthusiasm. Stephanie then reveals that Alex took her skydiving as a surprise this morning and she loved it. Steve talks about Stephanie being a licensed skydiver and praises her many talents. Steve tells the world to watch out and not mess with Stephanie K. Johnson.<\/p>\n<p>Alex holds his daughter Kelsey for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>Brady thanks Steve for the lesson and for brunch. Brady says he has a couple things to do today but he looks forward to their next training session as he exits the Pub. Steve comments that it sounds like Stephanie and Alex are doing better and he&#8217;s glad to hear that. Stephanie tells Steve that he doesn&#8217;t have to stick around as she knows he&#8217;s busy with Black Patch. Steve offers to hang around a little longer but Stephanie says she&#8217;s fine and talks about sleeping well for the first time. Stephanie says learning to fight back really helps. Steve tells her that he&#8217;s so proud of her as they hug. Steve reminds Stephanie to put the unloaded gun in the safe, away from the ammo, when she gets home which she claims she will do.<\/p>\n<p>Alex asks Joy where they go from here. Joy says that&#8217;s up to him. Alex says he has to talk to Stephanie as they are married now. Joy says she noticed the ring and congratulates him. Joy adds that she still doesn&#8217;t want to come in between he and Stephanie. Alex tells her that he&#8217;s glad she came back and he&#8217;s really sorry she had to go through this alone. Joy says it&#8217;s not his fault as she wishes she told him from the beginning. Joy adds that she wasn&#8217;t alone since her mom was there at every appointment and in the delivery room. Joy says they should get going and tells Alex there&#8217;s no pressure with the DNA test. Joy says to just let her know as they are staying at the Salem Inn. Alex tells her to take care as Joy then exits with Kelsey.<\/p>\n<p>Brady meets Philip in the town square and says the plan moving forward with Basic Black was to have Marlena move in to a leadership position with the help of Kate, but that hit a snag when Marlena found out that Johnny thinks Kate set him up with the lawsuit. Philip says he knew nothing about that. Brady says that Marlena wants to work there, just not with Kate because she doesn&#8217;t trust her anymore while Xander told Marlena that she needs to work with Kate or she can&#8217;t work there at all. Brady asks Philip to get Xander to back off. Sophia sits nearby and says she knows Holly and Arianna&#8217;s dorm has their own social media feed. She creates a user name called &#8220;LilyLovesLattes&#8221; so she can start posting. She makes a post on there, asking why everyone hates Sophia. She then remarks to herself that hopefully they will take the bait.<\/p>\n<p>Arianna sees the post on social media and comments that Sophia is a conniving and lying witch. Gabi shows up at the book store and greets Arianna. Arianna comments that she&#8217;s trying to get some studying done but there are a lot of distractions there. Gabi talks about coming to shop and then sees Liam and says she can see what the distraction is. Gabi says she didn&#8217;t know he worked there and calls him over. Gabi then notices Liam&#8217;s name badge and brings up that he said his name was Gage, so she questions what is going on here. Arianna claims that Liam is his first name and he goes by his middle name but Gabi realizes she knows who he is and that he got shot after getting mixed up with the DiMera kidnappings which shocks Arianna but Liam swears he had nothing to do with. Gabi brings up Arianna having no idea who she was talking about when she referred to him as Gage before and realizes that Arianna lied to her and that Liam was hiding from the police. Gabi orders Liam to stay away from her daughter which he agrees to do.<\/p>\n<p>Sophia reads all the social media comments about her, including Holly detailing how Sophia slipped her pills and calls her total trash which Sophia takes a screenshot of. At their table, Philip tells Brady that when it comes to business, he and Xander are a united front. Brady argues that they are talking about his late father&#8217;s company here. Philip says Titan is his late father&#8217;s company which he and Xander are desperately trying to keep afloat so this isn&#8217;t personal. Philip admits Kate isn&#8217;t the easiest person to work with but she founded Basic Black with John and knows the fashion business. Brady questions if he isn&#8217;t going to talk to Xander. Philip insists that Xander won&#8217;t budge on this. Philip tells Brady to tell Marlena to take the deal. Brady questions him expecting Marlena to work with someone she doesn&#8217;t trust. Philip points out that she could then retain control, otherwise Basic Black could be sold or fold which he would hate to see happen. Philip says that right now, everyone at Titan is making tough choices and he knows it&#8217;s not ideal, but if Brady wants to save his dad&#8217;s company, this is what he has to do.<\/p>\n<p>Stephanie goes home to Alex and tells him that the shooting range was really fun as she&#8217;s getting the hang of it. Stephanie brings up how they went skydiving and kisses him. Stephanie reminds Alex of their other plans, then asks if he&#8217;s okay. Alex says she might want to sit down for this, so she does and asks what&#8217;s wrong. Alex then reveals that he&#8217;s pretty sure he just found out he has a daughter, shocking Stephanie.<\/p>\n<p>Joy meets up with Jeremy and reveals that Jeremy was right, adding that Alex even wanted to hold the baby. Jeremy tells Joy that he told her he would.<\/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 answers the door at home and is shocked to see Joy Wesley has returned to Salem.
