They hug as they both agree it&#8217;s been a hell of a last 24 hours.<\/p>\n<p>Holly goes to the Brady Pub where Tate tells her that he&#8217;s finishing his shift and then has to go teach at the dojo. Tate remembers to ask Holly about her chem final which Holly reveals that she failed.<\/p>\n<p>Arianna goes to see Liam at the book store. Liam tells her they are about to close up while Arianna says she came to talk to him.<\/p>\n<p>Gabi joins Philip in his room at the Kiriakis Mansion. Gabi tells him that the will reading went longer than expected. Philip says he&#8217;s been waiting and guesses the DiMeras were shocked by her bombshell. Gabi says that shock was nothing compared to what was coming as her bomb wasn&#8217;t the biggest bombshell dropped today.<\/p>\n<p>Belle goes home to Marlena and asks how her day was. Marlena calls it eventful as Kristen coerced her in to going to Stefano&#8217;s will reading. Belle thought she was determined not to go. Marlena admits she regrets changing her mind. Belle asks how it was and what Stefano left her. Marlena informs her that he left her a chess set, though it was actually left to John with a pawn and a queen on it. Belle calls that deeply creepy and says that must have been tough. Belle asks where the chess set is but Marlena reveals she left it at the DiMeras and didn&#8217;t stay for the full will reading. Marlena states that she doesn&#8217;t want anything from Stefano in her house or in her head at all because he&#8217;s gone and they never have to think about playing those games of his ever again.<\/p>\n<p>Gabi reveals to Philip that Lexie Carver is alive which shocks him. Gabi says they are assuming it is Lexie, bringing up how EJ previously conjured up a doppelganger of Rafe. Gabi tells Philip that either way, she needs him to keep it to himself as she promised Tony that she would keep it quiet for now. Gabi says that she is apart of the family whether they like it or not. Philip agrees and guesses the DiMeras are still pissed about having to share the money with her. Gabi confirms they did not jump for joy. Philip asks when she gets her inheritance. Gabi admits she may never.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah asks Brady about his visit with Rachel. Brady says it went pretty good, though he didn&#8217;t tell her about Sophia as Dr. Gregory thought it would be best to wait until they find out what exactly happened and she also thought it&#8217;d be good if Kristen was there when she finds out. Sarah comments that co-parenting isn&#8217;t exactly easy.<\/p>\n<p>Tate encourages Holly that she didn&#8217;t fail after studying for weeks. Holly complains that she couldn&#8217;t concentrate because she kept thinking about Sophia jumping in to the river and her mom blaming her for it. Tate gets it and says he&#8217;s had trouble concentrating too, but he&#8217;s sure she did better than she thinks. Holly argues that she didn&#8217;t even finish the last part of the test and worries she&#8217;ll be lucky to even finish with a C. Tate thinks Holly might be overreacting but Holly insists that this could screw up her life forever. Tate calls it one final while Holly remarks that Tate doesn&#8217;t get it because he&#8217;s not trying to get in to grad school like she is and he barely studied for his finals. Tate argues that his finals were projects not tests and he did them. Holly argues that it doesn&#8217;t matter if Tate gets good grades since he&#8217;s dropping out anyway. Tate points out that he could go back to school later while Holly insists none if this matters to him like it does to her. Tate remarks that maybe it shouldn&#8217;t matter to her this match when it&#8217;s not like her life is over. Holly responds that her life isn&#8217;t over like Sophia&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>Arianna tells Liam that he said he&#8217;s no good for her but that&#8217;s not his decision to make. Liam argues that she doesn&#8217;t know anything about him. Arianna responds that she does and brings up Liam taking a plea deal to stay out of prison and that requires learning to read. Arianna adds that she knows he has a 5 year old son and got mixed up with the DiMeras and Vivian Alamain. Arianna asks if there&#8217;s anything else she should know before she decides if he&#8217;s good for her.<\/p>\n<p>Philip questions Gabi saying she may never get her inheritance after he flew all the way to Alamainia to prove she is Stefan&#8217;s widow. Gabi says she appreciates everything he&#8217;s done for her, but the DiMeras don&#8217;t want to believe it and are vowing to fight it, so now they are demanding forensic evidence. Philip guesses that might be an issue, so he dug through his old papers and found some samples of Vivian&#8217;s handwriting, so if she can&#8217;t prove Stefan didn&#8217;t sign the papers, she can prove Vivian did.<\/p>\n<p>Belle tells Marlena that she gets it after all those years of Stefano manipulating her and John, but she feels Marlena must be kind of curious why Stefano left her the chess set and wonders if there&#8217;s a message in it. Marlena responds that she&#8217;s not even curious and doesn&#8217;t think Stefano ever thought John would be gone, so he was only doing it to torment him. Marlena declares that she won&#8217;t give Stefano the satisfaction and that he&#8217;s dead now, so he can&#8217;t hurt them anymore. Marlena adds that they can now close the book on Stefano and asks how Belle&#8217;s day was. Belle says it was a long day of work and then she went to the hospital to see Shawn on her way home. Belle says Shawn plans to be discharged tomorrow and will be staying at Jada&#8217;s. Marlena asks how she feels about that. Belle admits she was hurt that Shawn rejected her offer to care for him but she gets why the two of them being close would be awkward. Belle says Shawn is on crutches so he will need help getting around and she&#8217;ll be really busy at work, so it&#8217;s probably all for the best.<\/p>\n<p>Brady invites Sarah back to his place for dinner. Sarah says she&#8217;d love to but she made dinner plans with Holly as she&#8217;s really worried about her after everything that happened with Sophia. Brady says that Tate is having a hard time with it too. Sarah tells Brady that Amy Choi called Maggie and is telling everyone that Holly drove Sophia to take her own life. Brady questions making Holly the target. Sarah wishes it wasn&#8217;t happening but acknowledges that Holly did post things that she wishes she hadn&#8217;t. Brady mentions hearing about that from Sophia&#8217;s dad. Brady then suggests Sarah come over after her dinner with Holly. Sarah agrees to as they kiss.<\/p>\n<p>Tate tells Holly that he&#8217;s really sorry. Holly says before all of this, she never had a friend who died before, so she can&#8217;t stop thinking about Sophia and remembering how close they used to be before it all went wrong. Tate says he does too and tells Holly that he&#8217;s sorry but he has to go. Tate tells her to text him if she wants to hang out later as he exits the Pub.<\/p>\n<p>Philip hopes samples of Vivian&#8217;s handwriting will help prove Stefan&#8217;s signature was forged on the divorce papers as he wanted to help Gabi through this. Gabi thanks him and says she&#8217;s so grateful. Gabi says knowing Stefan went to his grave still loving her and married to her would mean so much to her. Gabi adds that if she does end up inheriting a ton of money, a big chunk of it will go to Philip because none of this would have happened without him. Philip responds that he will not take any of the money and she won&#8217;t owe him anything. They hug as Gabi insists that she does.<\/p>\n<p>Liam tells Arianna that he doesn&#8217;t have any more deep dark secrets but he thinks that&#8217;s enough. Arianna says she was a little surprised but not completely shocked and remarks that her family isn&#8217;t a bunch of saints. Liam assures that he&#8217;s not still involved in that shady stuff and is now making an honest living. Liam guesses Arianna heard about his past from Gabi. Arianna reveals to him that Rafe is her uncle which shocks Liam. Liam recalls Rafe questioning him once. Arianna jokes that being questioned by the FBI can be added to his list. Liam says that&#8217;s part of the reason he told her to stay away from him. Liam tells Arianna that he really likes her which is why he&#8217;s trying to protect her. Arianna responds that it won&#8217;t be a problem because she kind of likes bad boys.<\/p>\n<p>Marlena is glad that Belle is okay with Shawn staying at Jada&#8217;s and that she understands why it might have been awkward. Belle brings up that there&#8217;s a case she could use Marlena&#8217;s help on and that it&#8217;s about Sophia&#8217;s apparent suicide. Marlena questions why it&#8217;s a case. Belle explains that Amy is directing all of her pain and sorrow at Holly and wants to use cyber bullying laws to throw the book at Holly for Sophia&#8217;s death since Holly posted a few things online that were provocative. Marlena is unsure why that would affect her. Belle explains that she knows Sophia suffered from mental illness but she also knows Holly suffered because of Sophia&#8217;s behavior and Tate is family, so she doesn&#8217;t know what to do.<\/p>\n<p>Tate meets Brady in the town square. Brady tells him that he was talking to Sarah about what happened with Sophia and that Sarah is worried about Holly, so he wanted to check in with him and see how he&#8217;s feeling about everything. Tate admits he doesn&#8217;t know what to feel.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah meets Holly at the Pub. Holly tells her that she doesn&#8217;t think she can eat right now as her stomach is in knots and asks if they can do this another time, but Sarah says they can&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>Liam tells Arianna that aside from everything else, his kid is his priority. Arianna says she gets that but Liam doesn&#8217;t think she does since she lives in an entirely different world. Arianna responds that she&#8217;s lived in many different worlds with her dads in Arizona and her mom and family in Salem plus the Hortons and the Kiriakis family. Arianna says she&#8217;s related to practically everyone which means she has to fit in with a lot of different people and can get along with everyone. Liam doesn&#8217;t think Gabi would approve. Arianna argues that Gabi is a felon so she would be a huge hypocrite to have a problem with his record. She adds that Gabi doesn&#8217;t get a say in who she is with as that should be up to her and him.<\/p>\n<p>Philip tells Gabi that she doesn&#8217;t owe him a cent as he doesn&#8217;t want her money. Gabi knows her reputation as a shrewd and stingy business woman precedes her, but it would bring her so much joy to be able to do this for him after everything he&#8217;s done for her. Philip feels he hasn&#8217;t done that much aside from loving her and occasionally bringing her breakfast in bed. Gabi points out that he took her to Miami where they made all new memories and he&#8217;s been there for her. Gabi states that he has brought her so much happiness when she thought she would never find it again as they kiss.<\/p>\n<p>Tate tells Brady that it&#8217;s all really complicated as he hates so many things that Sophia did, but he really cared about her when he thought she was pregnant with his baby. Brady says he had his issues with Sophia as well. Brady suggests maybe Tate should speak to a therapist about his feelings. Tate mentions getting an e-mail that Salem U was making counselors available so maybe he&#8217;ll do that. Brady thinks it would be a good idea.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah tells Holly that she and Maggie are both worried about her and it&#8217;s not okay for her to avoid them. Sarah says a lot has happened since last night and talks about how she and Sophia used to be friends. Holly says that was until she lied about her relationship with Tate. Sarah acknowledges that Sophia did terrible things too. Sarah then brings up that Holly ripped her apart on a message board. Holly is surprised she knows about that. Sarah reveals that Amy called Maggie, so they saw the posts. Holly wishes to God she never wrote that and argues that she was just blowing off steam. Holly argues that she wasn&#8217;t in her right mind after what Sophia did and what those pills did to her. Sarah warns her that Amy wants her charged with cyber bullying. Holly complains that all she did was put up a few posts while Sophia sent half naked pictures of her to Johnny and drugged her. Sarah says she knows but Amy is a grieving mother and part of the grieving process is to find someone to blame. Sarah assures that she and Maggie have Holly&#8217;s back with Amy, but she hopes Holly understands that words are weapons and whatever she puts on the internet unfortunately stays there forever, so she hopes she learned a very important lesson.<\/p>\n<p>Marlena talks to Belle about what Amy Choi must be going through, but she doesn&#8217;t understand blaming Holly. Belle says it&#8217;s totally wrong and she does want to help Holly, but she feels she should recuse herself from the case. Marlena thinks she might be right after what happened with Rachel. Marlena states that it&#8217;s Belle&#8217;s job to prosecute criminals, not protect family.<\/p>\n<p>Liam says as much as he&#8217;d like to agree with Arianna, there is a third person who gets a say and that&#8217;s his kid. Arianna asks if he&#8217;s saying she needs Gage&#8217;s approval to hang out with him and insists that kids love her. Liam says she may not need his approval to just hang out. Arianna points out that they haven&#8217;t even kissed yet. Liam brings up the night they met at Small Bar to hide her from her mom. Arianna thinks Gage doesn&#8217;t need to weigh in on them hanging out until they really kiss.<\/p>\n<p>Gabi insists to Philip that giving him this money is the least she could do. Gabi adds that his family has been kind enough to open their home to her even when they have been going through such a tough time, so what&#8217;s hers is his. Philip says same goes for her, joking that she&#8217;d only get debt and a failing company as they continue kissing. Gabi hugs Philip and says she doesn&#8217;t know what she would do without him. Philip says he is head over heels for her so she&#8217;s stuck with him and she&#8217;ll never have to find out as they kiss.<\/p>\n<p>Liam agrees with Arianna that they haven&#8217;t really kissed, but not because he hasn&#8217;t wanted to. Arianna admits that she&#8217;s been wanting to kiss him since they met and will have to try again now that she actually knows him, so they then kiss.<\/p>\n<p>Belle agrees with Marlena that she will have to recuse herself and the case over to an assistant. Marlena wishes she had words of wisdom for her and is trying to think of what John would say. Marlena believes John would say always do the right thing and if it doesn&#8217;t feel easy, that means it&#8217;s the right thing.<\/p>\n<p>Brady tells Tate that he knows Amy is blaming Holly for what happened to Sophia. Tate calls it such BS and argues that it&#8217;s not Holly&#8217;s fault that Sophia went off the rails. Tate feels he has to talk to Amy to get her to back off, but Brady warns that&#8217;s not a good idea and would probably make things much worse.<\/p>\n<p>Holly complains that Sarah is talking to her like she&#8217;s a bad person who deserves to be punished. Holly tries to storm off but Sarah says that&#8217;s not what she&#8217;s saying and she didn&#8217;t mean to upset her. Sarah tells Holly that she loves her and cares about her and wants to make sure she doesn&#8217;t withdraw to try to deal with this on her own. Sarah says she and Maggie both support her, but part of supporting is telling her what she needs to hear. Holly complains that she needs time and then storms out of the Pub.<\/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 Brady joins Sarah in the town square.
