Lani apologizes to Julie, saying she knows it&#8217;s a lot having them here while Julie says she loves having the house full of life and people she loves.<\/p>\n<p>Chanel gets ready to go to the aquarium while Johnny talks about having to work and wishes he could go with them but he&#8217;s glad they get to spend time with Lani and the twins. They agree next time there will be no excuses as they kiss.<\/p>\n<p>At the DiMera Mansion, Kristen is on the phone with Dr. Gregory, saying it&#8217;s killing her to see Rachel like this and argues that she&#8217;d be better off at home. EJ walks in as Kristen finishes the call and asks if she&#8217;s alright. Kristen tells him not to insult her by pretending he cares.<\/p>\n<p>Sophia sits in her room, reading all the hateful comments on social media about her with tears in her eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Alex goes to the hospital and asks Sarah if she can do him a big favor by helping him order a paternity test.<\/p>\n<p>In the park, Stephanie informs Jeremy that Alex told her that he just found out that he has a baby. Jeremy pretends to be surprised as Stephanie says that the mother is someone they thought was out of their lives forever, but she just dropped this on him and now she doesn\u2019t know if they are strong enough to handle this. Jeremy tells Stephanie that he\u2019s so sorry and hugs her as she cries. Jeremy encourages that she is strong enough to get through this and that he&#8217;ll be there for her no matter what. Jeremy then kisses Stephanie.<\/p>\n<p>Lani tells Julie that she&#8217;s meeting Chanel in the town square before they head to Chicago. Julie asks for a ride to her book store which Lani agrees to. Julie brings up having a Baby Shark pop up book and suggesting it could help Carver not find the sharks so scary. Lani says that sounds amazing and thanks her. Julie believes any problem can be improved by reading the correct book. Julie wants Lani and Chanel to have a perfect day.<\/p>\n<p>Chanel tells Johnny that she feels like today will be a perfect test run for when they have two kids of their own. Johnny asks if she heard back about her radiology appointment. Chanel gets upset and questions him really bringing that up right now.<\/p>\n<p>Alex explains to Sarah that the paternity test is on Joy Wesley&#8217;s baby to determine whether he&#8217;s the father and that he brought the samples. Sarah responds that she&#8217;s glad Joy finally told him, surprising Alex as he questions if Sarah knew.<\/p>\n<p>Stephanie pulls away from Jeremy and questions what the hell he&#8217;s doing.<\/p>\n<p>Sophia complains out loud that the people on social media don&#8217;t know her or what she&#8217;s been through as she&#8217;s not an evil person, until Kristen shows up at her door. Sophia tells her that she shouldn&#8217;t be there and asks what she wants. Kristen tells Sophia that it&#8217;s time to take out Johnny and presents her with a gun, instructing her to toss it in to the Salem river when she&#8217;s done. Kristen reminds Sophia that Johnny is working from home today while Chanel is out with the baby. Sophia tells Kristen no and that she can&#8217;t. Sophia complains that the kids at school are calling her a psycho monster and if she does this, that makes them right and she&#8217;s not that person, so she will not kill Johnny.<\/p>\n<p>Johnny tells Chanel that he didn&#8217;t mean to upset her. Chanel argues that they talked about him constantly bringing up problems and worries. Johnny says it was just on his mind. Chanel promises to let him know as soon as the appointment is set. They say they love each other as Chanel admit she couldn&#8217;t go through any of this without him. Johnny tells her that she, Trey, and their baby are his everything. Chanel says she&#8217;ll let him get back to work. Johnny suggests ordering in tonight as he wants to spend the entire evening showing her how much she is loved.<\/p>\n<p>Alex remembers that Sarah was Joy&#8217;s doctor and gave her the pregnancy test that Joy said was negative. Sarah says she never got to go over the results with her as Joy had already left Salem. Alex asks if she never spoke to her again. Sarah says she did call her in New York but Joy said she hadn&#8217;t decided what to do about the pregnancy. Sarah apologizes for being unable to tell him due to doctor-patient confidentiality. Alex informs her that Joy had a baby girl named Kelsey and calls it complicated but good.<\/p>\n<p>Jeremy apologizes to Stephanie as she reminds him that she is married to Alex and no matter what is happening between them, she loves him. Stephanie tells Jeremy that she&#8217;ll always be grateful for him being there for her when they were kidnapped and rescued, but says she needs to be clear that nothing can ever happen between them. Jeremy thanks her for being honest. Stephanie responds that even if she wasn&#8217;t married, after the way it was when they were together and how he treated her, there is no way she would ever be with him again.<\/p>\n<p>Alex tells Sarah that he&#8217;s told Stephanie but wishes he knew all along. Sarah says when she spoke to Joy, she sensed that she knew Alex was in love with Stephanie and didn&#8217;t want to stand in the way of that. Alex argues that it wasn&#8217;t Joy&#8217;s decision to make.<\/p>\n<p>Stephanie admits that it was a mistake to lean on Jeremy the way she did as she knows he wanted to help but she let the lines get blurry. Jeremy tells her that she didn&#8217;t do anything wrong. Stephanie tells Jeremy that she can handle the situation with Alex and Joy on her own, pointing out that Jeremy wasn&#8217;t even in Salem when they were together. Jeremy says that doesn&#8217;t mean he can&#8217;t relate. Stephanie calls it a lot to have Joy show up on the heels of what happened to them. Stephanie then stops and comes to a realization.<\/p>\n<p>EJ goes to see Johnny and asks if he has a minute as he has an update on the Titan lawsuit.<\/p>\n<p>Kristen tells Sophia that she has no choice as she made a deal. Kristen reminds her that once Johnny&#8217;s gone, she can turn her attention to making Holly suffer and then her revenge will be complete and she can disappear to start fresh with a new name, new life, and be happy again. Kristen encourages her that Johnny took everything from her and destroyed her mental health while now she has a chance to get all of that back. Kristen adds that it won&#8217;t happen without her since she&#8217;d be the one funding her new life, so she won&#8217;t get that if she doesn&#8217;t do what she asks.<\/p>\n<p>Chanel brings Trey to meet Lani in the town square. Lani says she will go get Jules and Carver from the book store. Chanel then gets a call and ends up telling Lani that she can&#8217;t go to Chicago, so Lani questions what is going on.<\/p>\n<p>Jeremy asks Stephanie what&#8217;s wrong. Stephanie brings up that Joy said she heard from a mutual friend that Alex couldn&#8217;t wait to start a family and that&#8217;s why she came back to town. Stephanie adds that very few people knew Joy was pregnant or that she and Alex ever hooked up, but remembers that she did tell Jeremy. Stephanie brings up that Jeremy&#8217;s dad was dating Joy&#8217;s mom, so she guesses that Jeremy is the one who got Joy to come back to Salem.<\/p>\n<p>Chanel tells Lani that she&#8217;s sorry to cancel. Lani understands she has to go for a mammogram. Chanel feels it&#8217;s not an emergency but Johnny was really worried. Chanel adds that Sarah said the lump is probably nothing. Chanel says she hasn&#8217;t told Paulina yet so she asks Lani not to say anything. Lani says she&#8217;s just happy she&#8217;s getting checked out. Lani says she&#8217;ll ask Julie to watch the twins for the afternoon so she can go with Chanel. Chanel says no because she doesn&#8217;t want to let them down. Lani says Carver was afraid anyway. Chanel insists on Lani taking Trey with them to the aquarium as it will make her happy to know he&#8217;s with his cousins. Lani points out that they could go any other day but Chanel insists, so Lani tells her to call if she needs anything. Lani says she&#8217;ll be praying for her and she loves her.<\/p>\n<p>Johnny asks EJ about the update on the lawsuit. EJ informs him that he went around Xander and Kate to reach out to Justin directly. EJ explains that Justin wants to save Bonnie the humiliation of going to trial and becoming tabloid fodder. Johnny says that would be great and that he really appreciates EJ working on this and coming by to deliver the news. EJ adds that he hoped maybe to catch his grandson too but Johnny informs him that Chanel was taking Trey to the aquarium in Chicago. They agree on next time, so EJ goes to leave but Johnny suggests tomorrow they could take Trey out for lunch before Stefano&#8217;s will reading. EJ says he would love that.<\/p>\n<p>Sophia shows Kristen the social media posts and explains that she was fishing for Holly to say something negative about her so she could use it against her, but then everyone else started piling on and she doesn&#8217;t even know them but they all hate her. Kristen encourages that Johnny and Holly are the monsters. Kristen warns that if she stays in Salem, this hate will always be part of her life along with the shame and judgment, so she will feel this every time she walks out of her house. Sophia asks why Kristen stays if they make her feel that way. Kristen responds that it&#8217;s because of Rachel and she has unfinished business with EJ. Kristen says once she and EJ are even, maybe she&#8217;ll disappear too and leave Salem with Rachel. Kristen tells Sophia that she&#8217;s sorry that EJ tried to scare her this morning but says those threats are just the beginning and she&#8217;ll never be free. Kristen declares that EJ deserves to feel real loss and unrelenting pain, then he&#8217;ll understand along with Holly and Johnny. Kristen lays the gun next to Sophia and tells her not to squander this golden opportunity. Kristen calls it one last mission and then she can live her beautiful new life as she then exits the room, leaving Sophia conflicted.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah tells Alex that she once made a similar decision to Joy&#8217;s. Alex understands Sarah was protecting Victoria by keeping her from Xander while Sarah says she regrets doing so and it sounds like Joy feels the same way. Sarah asks if Alex has any reason to believe the child isn&#8217;t his. Alex admits he doesn&#8217;t and is just covering his bases. Sarah thinks it&#8217;s smart to make sure before making any decisions. Alex says they will just deal with whatever comes next.<\/p>\n<p>Jeremy tells Stephanie that he won&#8217;t try to deny it or throw someone else under the bus because he&#8217;s spent too much time trying to convince the town he&#8217;s not that guy anymore. Stephanie asks if that means he&#8217;s admitting what he did. Jeremy confirms that once he found out Alex was the father of Joy&#8217;s baby, he encouraged her to come back to town and tell the truth. Stephanie argues that he knew it would turn her and Alex&#8217;s life upside down and he even acted surprised that Joy was in town. Jeremy argues that he was trying to help because Alex deserved to know he had a daughter while Joy was struggling to raise the child on her own. Jeremy adds that he saw how stressed Stephanie was about Alex wanting a child, so he thought maybe if he found out he already had one, it would take the pressure off. Stephanie continues to question him while Jeremy apologizes and says he was just trying to be there for her. Stephanie tells him that she doesn&#8217;t want that anymore. Stephanie says she&#8217;ll always be thankful that he showed up when she needed him to, but that is where it ends. Stephanie declares that she doesn&#8217;t want Jeremy in her life anymore in any way. Jeremy says he understands and says goodbye to Stephanie as he then walks away.<\/p>\n<p>Kristen goes home to the DiMera Mansion and tells EJ to pour her a drink. EJ comments that she seems to be in better spirits. Kristen says he does too. EJ says he just spent some time with Johnny and that he invited him to spend time with Trey before the will reading. Kristen congratulates him and remarks that it sounds like things couldn&#8217;t be better.<\/p>\n<p>Stephanie sits in the park and calls Kayla to ask if she has a minute because she needs her mom right now.<\/p>\n<p>Jeremy goes home where Julie asks if something is wrong. Jeremy informs her that he did something that he believed was helpful but he&#8217;s starting to realize he didn&#8217;t do it for the right reasons. Julie says she doesn&#8217;t know what he did but she&#8217;s sorry he&#8217;s upset. Jeremy talks about trying to figure out his next chapter on if he should stay in Salem or go somewhere else. Julie asks if he&#8217;s made a final decision.<\/p>\n<p>Alex goes to the hospital and runs in to Chanel. Alex says he&#8217;s just there for routine tests and asks Chanel if everything is good with the baby. Chanel says it is so Alex walks away. Sarah then comes over and tells Chanel that she&#8217;s glad radiology could fit her in today and asks if Johnny will be joining them. Chanel admits she hasn&#8217;t called him yet and asks if he should be there. Sarah thinks he would want to be. Chanel says Johnny is slammed with work so she didn&#8217;t want to worry him. Sarah understands and agrees to respect her decision as her doctor, but still thinks Johnny would like to make that decision himself, so Chanel decides to pull out her phone.<\/p>\n<p>Sophia shows up at Johnny&#8217;s door.<\/p>\n<p>Chanel tells Sarah that Johnny isn&#8217;t answering his phone. Sarah offers to call someone for her but Chanel says it will be fine and just wants to get it over with. Sarah sends Chanel to get changed and says she&#8217;ll walk her down to radiology when she&#8217;s ready.<\/p>\n<p>Jeremy tells Julie that he doesn&#8217;t know anymore because it feels like no matter what he does, he just makes things worse. Julie says that&#8217;s because he leads with his heart like she always has and sometimes just spin out of control. Julie says that&#8217;s when he needs to focus on what really matters and makes him happy. Jeremy asks what if he can never have what makes him happy. Julie suggests maybe it&#8217;s time to forget what&#8217;s impossible and open himself up to something new that might be wonderful and worthy of the good person he is.<\/p>\n<p>Stephanie goes home to Alex and says she just needed some air but ended up running in to Jeremy. Stephanie informs Alex that Jeremy is the one who brought Joy back to Salem and encouraged her to tell him the truth about the baby. Alex asks why the hell he would do that. Stephanie says it doesn&#8217;t matter because Alex deserved to know, so even though she&#8217;s upset, it isn&#8217;t Jeremy or Joy&#8217;s fault and certainly not Alex&#8217;s fault. Alex informs her that they are doing the DNA test as they speak. Stephanie states that if Alex is a match, this is going to change their whole lives. Alex responds that the one thing that doesn&#8217;t change is how much he loves her. Stephanie assures that she loves him too. Alex says they will get through this and be okay as long as they hold onto each other as they hug.<\/p>\n<p>Jeremy tells Julie that he loves being here with her and the family, but he doesn&#8217;t think he&#8217;ll get the fresh start he needs in Salem, so he doesn&#8217;t think this is where his future is right now. Julie asks if he&#8217;ll go back to New York then. Jeremy thinks that&#8217;s where he needs to be and hopefully find some peace to see what&#8217;s next. Julie cries that she will miss him and that she&#8217;s so proud of him. Jeremy thanks her for never losing faith in him and making him feel like a true Horton. Julie encourages that he is a Horton and he&#8217;ll always have a home here as they hug.<\/p>\n<p>EJ hopes Kristen still plans to be at the will reading tomorow. Kristen says she wouldn&#8217;t miss it. EJ is relieved the day has finally come to put Stefano to rest and move forward with their family. EJ asks how Kristen is feeling. Kristen responds that she feels tomorrow will be a day none of them will ever forget. Kristen states that Stefano used to say make the most of today because tomorrow isn&#8217;t guaranteed.<\/p>\n<p>Johnny tells Sophia that it&#8217;s not a good time and he has nothing to say to her. Sophia responds that she doesn&#8217;t really care because she has a lot to say to him. Sophia then sprays Johnny in the eyes and knocks him out.<\/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 At the Horton house, Lani complains to Julie that she thought taking the kids to the aquarium would be a slam dunk but Carver is afraid of sharks.
