Abe still can&#8217;t believe Theo knew. Theo is sorry he couldn&#8217;t say anything. Abe understands EJ put him in an impossible position. Theo feels he can&#8217;t be mad at EJ. Abe responds that he&#8217;s not mad because EJ delivered them a miracle and he will always be grateful to him for that.<\/p>\n<p>Gwen goes to the DiMera Mansion and asks EJ for an update on the status of their patient. EJ responds that he has good news and bad news. Gwen asks to start with the good, so EJ reveals to her that Lexie is awake which shocks Gwen, who declares that they&#8217;ve changed the world. Gwen asks where he&#8217;s keeping Lexie. EJ responds that she&#8217;s not in the house, so Gwen questions where she is. EJ tells Gwen that&#8217;s the bad news.<\/p>\n<p>At the Brady Pub, Chanel finishes a call with Johnny about him getting discharged from the hospital. Chanel says she&#8217;ll be right there and adds that she has to be there for her biopsy anyway. Chanel admits she&#8217;s a little nervous but mostly just wants to get it over with. Chanel hangs up as Alex arrives and they greet each other. Alex mentions hearing what happened to Johnny and how scary that was. Chanel says she can&#8217;t imagine what could&#8217;ve happened so she&#8217;s just thankful God protected him. Alex says he&#8217;s just happy for them while Chanel says she should say the same to him since she ran in to Joy Wesley and guesses congratulations are in order.<\/p>\n<p>Steve and Kayla walk through the town square. Steve comments that Stephanie seemed good despite having her world rocked again while Kayla feels she&#8217;s putting on a brave face. Steve says he&#8217;s going to see Stephanie before he heads to work. Kayla says she&#8217;ll call him after checking on Lexie. Steve asks if it is definitely her. Kayla says they don&#8217;t have the DNA test results yet but it certainly looks like it. Steve jokes that coming back to life is the most DiMera thing Lexie has ever done. Kayla says that Stefano would be thrilled and proud. Steve mentions that he&#8217;s sure Abe and Theo must be as well and calls it a miracle. Kayla agrees but wonders what it will mean for Paulina.<\/p>\n<p>Marlena finds Paulina at the hospital and asks if everything is alright. Paulina responds that she doesn&#8217;t know how to answer that as she&#8217;s waiting for Abe like she&#8217;s in some kind of purgatory between life as she knows it and maybe something worse. Marlena asks what she means. Paulina tells her that she won&#8217;t believe this but Lexie is alive.<\/p>\n<p>Chanel tells Alex that his little girl is so beautiful. Chanel assumes the news was a big shock which Alex confirms. Chanel brings up that just babysitting Trey was enough to cause an argument about whether Stephanie wanted kids, so she imagines this made it a lot more complicated. Alex says that Stephanie is trying her best to be supportive and they are working on it. Chanel suggests Alex try to get to know his little girl in the mean time since she hears Joy is sticking around Salem. Alex says that is the plan but he&#8217;s sure that&#8217;s the last thing she and Johnny need right now. Chanel admits it&#8217;s not her favorite news but calls it the least of their worries right now.<\/p>\n<p>EJ tells Gwen about Lexie wandering in to the will reading. EJ then informs Gwen that Leo found his way in to the tunnels which prevented Dr. Rolf from intervening.<\/p>\n<p>Paulina tells Marlena that Kayla is running a DNA test to be sure but she&#8217;s seen enough pictures to know it&#8217;s Lexie. Marlena states that Paulina made a selfless choice in letting the experiment go forward, knowing it would turn her life upside down. Paulina argues that she couldn&#8217;t do that to Abe and Theo while Marlena argues that she doesn&#8217;t know how this may turn out. Paulina informs her that Abe doesn&#8217;t know this, but she was outside of Lexie&#8217;s room last night and she heard Lexie tell Abe that she loved him and then she heard Abe say it back.<\/p>\n<p>Kayla joins Abe and Theo in Lexie&#8217;s room. Abe asks if there&#8217;s any news. Kayla confirms they have the DNA report back and that Lexie&#8217;s dental records were located in storage. Kayla reveals they are both a match, so it really is Lexie.<\/p>\n<p>Gwen complains about Leo sticking his nose where it doesn&#8217;t belong. EJ explains that Leo was trying to break in to the will reading to get the inside scoop for the Spectator even though the editor of the Spectator was in attendance. Gwen asks what they do now since EJ is the face of this resurrection. EJ says that Lexie&#8217;s tests are showing she&#8217;s very much healthy and alive which means it was a success and they can proceed to the next step of the plan.<\/p>\n<p>Alex asks Chanel what&#8217;s going on and says he hopes everything is alright with her pregnancy. Chanel says that she and Trey are adjusting to living with Abe, Paulina, and Theo as they are there until their kitchen is repaired. Chanel says it&#8217;s between that, running the bakery, taking care of an infant while preparing for another and Johnny being in the hospital. Chanel adds that Johnny is getting released from the hospital today. Alex jokes that he would offer to babysit but he bailed halfway through last time. Chanel suggests they could arrange a play date. Chanel comments that Kelsey is lucky to have Alex as a dad. Alex feels he&#8217;s the lucky one. Chanel says she will see him soon and exits the Pub.<\/p>\n<p>Theo talks about never doubting it was Lexie as he just felt it. Abe says he felt it too. Theo asks if this means that when she wakes up, she will have all her memories. Kayla thinks she&#8217;s living proof that it&#8217;s possible and all of Lexie&#8217;s tests have come back positive which miraculously means her brain tumor is gone. Abe asks why Lexie is still sleeping and if she&#8217;s ever going to wake up again. Kayla says her body has been through a lot so it&#8217;s natural to be exhausted but last night was a great sign.<\/p>\n<p>Marlena can&#8217;t imagine how difficult it must have been for Paulina to hear Abe say those words to Lexie and says she&#8217;s so sorry. Paulina calls it a wonderful gift for Abe and Theo and a true blessing. Paulina says that Lexie is the woman that Abe spent most of his life with and built a family with. Marlena encourages that Abe does love Paulina. Paulina feels it&#8217;s different and says she told Theo that God would see them through this, but declares that in her heart she already knows she&#8217;s lost Abe.<\/p>\n<p>Alex goes home where Steve arrives. Alex tells him that Stephanie left early for a breakfast meeting with a new client. Steve says he knows as he already talked to her. Steve reveals he came to see Alex and hoped they could have a talk.<\/p>\n<p>Kayla explains that they don&#8217;t know the nature of the pods or the medication that Lexie was on as EJ hasn&#8217;t been forthcoming and they haven&#8217;t been able to track down Dr. Rolf. Abe says they all know EJ won&#8217;t give away his secrets for free. Theo asks if that complicates her recovery. Kayla encourages that Lexie&#8217;s vitals are strong and her brain activity is great, so she&#8217;s very optimistic that Lexie is back.<\/p>\n<p>Chanel goes to the hospital and sees Paulina, who asks if she came to see Johnny. Chanel confirms he&#8217;s being discharged today which Paulina calls wonderful news. Chanel then questions what Paulina is doing there. Paulina responds that she doesn&#8217;t even know where to begin.<\/p>\n<p>Gwen questions EJ sounding so confident as if proceeding to the next step of the plan is just a given. EJ asks why he wouldn&#8217;t be. Gwen argues that it&#8217;s only a matter of time before the authorities come questioning the ethics of the research in his lab. EJ argues that he has nothing to hide and he has lawyers ready to prove he&#8217;s broken no laws. Gwen asks what about when the drug goes on the black market. EJ questions if he senses trepidation when he thought she was all in on this plan. Gwen assures that she is, but now that the patient is out of the pod, it&#8217;s a lot riskier. Gwen would like to not go to prison when this is all said and done.<\/p>\n<p>Steve tells Alex that he was glad to see Stephanie back at work. Alex feels she&#8217;s slowly regaining her confidence. Steve comments that Stephanie has been through so much. Alex guesses now he&#8217;s making it worse and assumes Steve is here to read him the riot act about Joy and the baby. Steve tells him that he assumes wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Kayla goes to see Marlena in her office and asks if she heard the news. Marlena confirms that she did, though she left the will reading before all the excitement began. Kayla didn&#8217;t know she decided to attend. Marlena admits she regrets going. Kayla asks if Stefano left her something good. Marlena tells her that it was just a chess set. Marlena says she and John spent so many years playing games with Stefano and she never wants to do that again, so she left the will reading and left the chess set there. Kayla says that&#8217;s good for her although it might have been helpful to be there when Lexie made grand entrance.<\/p>\n<p>EJ encourages Gwen to take a breath as they will not be going to prison as long as they are discreet about their interaction and transactions with potential clients. EJ informs Gwen that he&#8217;s already gotten offers up to 10 figures which Gwen notes would mean billions. Gwen decides EJ has convinced her. EJ reminds her that his neck is on the line while no one even knows Gwen is involved. Gwen says she would like to keep it that way which EJ says is no problem. EJ adds that all this talk of risk and reward got him thinking that he&#8217;s taking the bigger share of the risk, so he&#8217;d be entitled to a bigger share of the reward.<\/p>\n<p>Chanel is shocked to learn Lexie is alive. Paulina informs her that Abe and Theo are at her bedside as they speak. Chanel calls that a lot to process. Chanel remembers Paulina telling her about a dilemma she was dealing with and she couldn&#8217;t give details. Paulina confirms that was Lexie. Chanel says she was so sorry for not being there for her last night. Paulina is not sure that&#8217;s her home anymore since Abe has another wife that he spent most of his life with and built a family with. Paulina question where that leaves her and if she&#8217;s just a footnote now.<\/p>\n<p>Abe encourages Lexie to get more sleep and that Theo will be giving her more than a decade of life updates as soon as she&#8217;s ready to hear them. Theo says he&#8217;ll stay with Lexie if Abe wants to go talk with Paulina. Abe thanks him and admits he can&#8217;t keep putting it off, so he exits the room. Theo sits with Lexie and talks about all the times he had been talking to her. Lexie then wakes up. Theo tells her that she&#8217;s in the hospital but everything is okay as she looks around in a panic. Theo asks if she knows who he is as Lexie shakes her head.<\/p>\n<p>Gwen argues with EJ that they agreed to a 50\/50 deal and he can&#8217;t just re-negotiate. EJ argues that Gwen has already seen a large return on her investment. Gwen calls Dimitri&#8217;s inheritance entirely different while EJ argues that she wouldn&#8217;t have seen a cent without him. Gwen complains that EJ&#8217;s project would&#8217;ve fallen apart without her money and repeats that he can&#8217;t just re-negotiate on a whim. EJ states that he&#8217;s sorry but circumstances have changed and she has no legal recourse. EJ advises she take his current offer or risk getting nothing at all.<\/p>\n<p>Alex tells Steve that he knows how it looks with Joy. Steve says he doesn&#8217;t have to defend himself as he knows he didn&#8217;t get with Joy until after his relationship with Stephanie had ended, so he did nothing wrong, and he understands Alex has stepped up to support Joy and the baby which is the right thing to do. Alex assumes Steve will still be worried about how this will affect Stephanie and their marriage, as he is too, especially since she&#8217;s been in such a bad place emotionally. Alex promises to make sure Stephanie knows she is his priority and that the child will not come between them. Steve says all he can ask is for Alex to keep loving and supporting her so she&#8217;s never an afterthought. Alex promises she never will be. Steve says he believes him because of the way he operated when Stephanie was missing, so he knows he would do anything for her. Steve tells Alex that it won&#8217;t be easy for either of them because he&#8217;s been there and he doesn&#8217;t expect him to handle it perfectly. Steve declares that Alex will make mistakes like he did, but he is his son now and he is apart of this crazy family along with his baby girl. Steve says that&#8217;s what he came to tell him and to ask if there&#8217;s anything he and Kayla can do to help.<\/p>\n<p>Marlena tells Kayla that she adored Lexie and that she and Abe were such close friends of theirs, so she was beyond devastated when they lost Lexie, but right now she&#8217;s just feeling so sad for Paulina. Marlena recalls years ago when Roman came back and she had two wonderful men in her life. Kayla knows that caused a lot of pain for all of them. Marlena hopes they don&#8217;t have to go through that and down the same path that she did. Kayla hopes so too for all of them.<\/p>\n<p>Chanel tells Paulina that it is still her home and that Lexie has been gone a long time while Abe loves Paulina. Paulina argues that Abe loves Lexie too. Paulina says they have so much to work out but she can&#8217;t just tear Abe away from Lexie&#8217;s bedside. Abe then comes over and asks for a word with Paulina, so Chanel goes to check on Johnny&#8217;s discharge papers.<\/p>\n<p>Theo tells Lexie that he is her son, which Lexie calls impossible because her Theo was just a boy. Theo says that was before she left them, but it&#8217;s 2026. Lexie questions how that is possible. Theo knows it will sound unbelievable, but she passed on. Theo calls it a long story but says they were able to bring her back to them now. Theo says it took a long time, so he&#8217;s grown up now. Theo asks if she remembers the lucky train stamp when he was beginning first grade and adjusting to a real school. Theo reminds her of the story she told him then. Lexie gets emotional as she realizes he is her son and they embrace.<\/p>\n<p>Kayla tells Marlena that she just checked on Johnny and he should be discharged soon. Marlena calls that wonderful news. Marlena brings up that Stephanie told her about Alex and Joy&#8217;s baby. Kayla says it looks like she&#8217;ll be a step grandmother again. Kayla knows Marlena can&#8217;t divulge anything about her sessions with Stephanie but asks if she can tell her that she&#8217;s doing okay. Marlena responds that Stephanie is a very strong young woman with an amazing support team. Kayla is happy that Marlena is apart of that team because it&#8217;s a lot for her and Alex to go through right now.<\/p>\n<p>Alex thanks Steve and tells him how much it means to him that he and Kayla are in their corner. Steve thinks Kelsey is very lucky to have him and encourages him to be a good dad to her and a good husband to Stephanie, then everything will work out eventually. Steve wants him to know that he and Kayla will always be there for them. They shake hands as Alex thanks him.<\/p>\n<p>Paulina tells Abe that she&#8217;s glad it&#8217;s been confirmed that it&#8217;s really Lexie and that she&#8217;s doing well. Paulina asks if Abe has something more to say. Abe responds that he doesn&#8217;t have the words and doesn&#8217;t know what to do. Paulina tells Abe that he needs to support his wife and help her recover. Abe responds that Paulina is his wife too. Paulina questions if their marriage is even legal and how it would work. Abe hates seeing this pain for her and says that he loves her. Paulina tells Abe that she loves him too, but he needs to go back with Lexie. Paulina tearfully declares that she wants him to go, so Abe gets up and walks away.<\/p>\n<p>Gwen complains that she should&#8217;ve known EJ would screw her over. EJ argues that he&#8217;s making her rich beyond her wildest imagination. Gwen asks what the timeline is for the new plan and if he&#8217;s close to closing on a deal. EJ says not quite as they still need to track Lexie&#8217;s recovery to reassure buyers that it will stick. EJ adds that it&#8217;s vital that they can prove their success can be repeated.<\/p>\n<p>Chanel returns to Paulina and asks what Abe said. Paulina responds that he said a whole lot of nothing and she thinks he just needed her permission to go back and be with Lexie. Paulina cries that she gave that to him as Chanel hugs her.<\/p>\n<p>Theo tells Lexie about living in South Africa but says he&#8217;s glad he came back to Salem, especially now. Abe returns as Lexie comments on Theo growing up. Lexie says she can&#8217;t imagine how much she has missed. Lexie asks about Abe&#8217;s wedding ring. Abe responds that they thought they lost her and she was gone for almost 15 years. Abe says for a long time, he didn&#8217;t even think about moving on, but eventually he met someone and they got married which shocks Lexie.<\/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 Abe and Theo remain at Lexie&#8217;s side in the hospital.
