Chanel tells him that she&#8217;s glad he got a little bit of rest, though she didn&#8217;t because she&#8217;s too wound up. Chanel says she thought she&#8217;d be more prepared to hear her cancer diagnosis since she&#8217;s heard it before, so she didn&#8217;t expect it to be such a shock. Chanel guesses she was just holding out hope for a miracle as Johnny hugs her.<\/p>\n<p>Theo is at home, looking at photos of Abe and Paulina on the mantle. Abe then comes home and greets him. Theo asks how Lexie is. Abe responds that she&#8217;s great and could be discharged today. Theo calls that amazing. Abe says he just came by to change and get the place ready for Lexie to come home. Theo guesses it&#8217;s a good thing that Paulina moved the rest of her things out last night then.<\/p>\n<p>EJ visits Lexie in the hospital. Lexie jokes that she was wondering when he would come say hello to this pricey little experiment of his. EJ calls it a very successful experiment and notes her being more animated since he saw her last. Lexie says the doctors don&#8217;t know about her surge of energy or what to expect going forward from this medical miracle. Lexie tells EJ that she doesn&#8217;t understand, so she&#8217;s hoping he can enlighten her.<\/p>\n<p>Arianna lays in bed crying. She picks up her phone and looks at the unanswered text messages she&#8217;s sent to Liam, questioning him leaving town without saying goodbye, asking where he went and why he&#8217;s not answering her. She puts her phone down and screams in to her pillow until Gabi comes in. Arianna informs Gabi that she hardly slept at all because Liam left town.<\/p>\n<p>Javi runs in to Leo outside of the Pub. Leo says he knows he&#8217;s supposed to respect his privacy and boundaries, but he wanted to make sure he was okay after he didn&#8217;t see him at Sophia&#8217;s memorial service. Javi says he wanted to be but had to work. Leo guesses that means he wasn&#8217;t suspended for going in to Johnny and Chanel&#8217;s apartment without his equipment. Javi confirms that he wasn&#8217;t but he&#8217;s been relegated to desk duty and station maintenance. Javi repeats that he wanted to be at Sophia&#8217;s service and sent her parents a condolences note. Leo calls him the most thoughtful man he&#8217;s ever known. Javi relates to what Sophia&#8217;s parents are going through and says he&#8217;s always grateful to Sophia for bringing Trey in to the world.<\/p>\n<p>Johnny tells Chanel that they don&#8217;t need a miracle as there are so many effective treatments available these days, so he knows she will be okay. Chanel argues that he can&#8217;t know that. Johnny encourages positive thinking and chooses to believe they will win this fight together. Chanel agrees that positive thinking can be helpful but says that&#8217;s different from being in denial and avoiding the truth. Chanel says she&#8217;s been reading a lot about it and thinks it&#8217;s important that at least one of them is a realist.<\/p>\n<p>Theo asks Abe if he&#8217;s getting a divorce or if his marriage to Paulina is invalid now. Abe responds that there will be a time and place to sort out all the legalities. Abe knows he&#8217;s used to clear-cut right and wrong decisions. Theo knows people will be hurt no matter what. Abe says he&#8217;s struggled with making the right decision here but then Paulina walked away and made the decision for him. Theo comments on Paulina always putting the people she cares about first. Abe calls that one of the reasons he fell in love with her. Theo asks if Abe still loves Paulina now.<\/p>\n<p>Lexie tells EJ that there isn&#8217;t a cure for sepsis. EJ responds that a lot has changed and a doctor at this very hospital created a drug that could regenerate tissue and Dr. Rolf mixed it with a formula that he had developed which was able to cure her tumor. Lexie questions being patient zero in this formula. EJ jokes that a thank you would be nice while Lexie argues that she&#8217;s a woman of science and doesn&#8217;t believe in resurrections. EJ asks what she thinks happened here. Lexie asks where Dr. Rolf is as she thought he would be monitoring her 24\/7. EJ is afraid that Dr. Rolf is unable to appear in public at the moment, so he&#8217;s asked him to maintain data points to ensure her recovery is proceeding smoothly. Lexie questions what kind of data points. EJ calls it nothing to lose sleep over as he&#8217;s just there to collect a small blood sample. Lexie questions if he became a phlebotomist. EJ asks why he would need medical expertise when he has hers as he presents her with the needles to use on herself.<\/p>\n<p>Abe assures Theo that he didn&#8217;t just stop loving Paulina because Lexie came back and apologizes for the toll it&#8217;s taking on him. Theo says it&#8217;s not just that so Abe insists on knowing what&#8217;s got him upset. Theo explains that a friend of his accused him of doing something he didn&#8217;t do and assumed the worst of him. Theo complains that he&#8217;s not just upset, he&#8217;s pissed as hell.<\/p>\n<p>Arianna tells Gabi that Liam left town and didn&#8217;t say why or even tell her, complaining that he&#8217;s not answering her messages and is totally ghosting her while she has no idea why. Gabi tries to tell her that she&#8217;s sorry but Arianna argues that this is what Gabi wanted all along. Ari declares it&#8217;s Gabi&#8217;s fault that he left town.<\/p>\n<p>Leo tells Javi that the months they spent raising Tesoro were the happiest of his life and he thinks about him every day. Javi recalls being terrified of losing him when he thought he was in Johnny&#8217;s apartment. Leo praises him as a hero for saving Johnny&#8217;s life. Javi says he should get going. Leo hopes he didn&#8217;t make him uncomfortable. Javi says he&#8217;s just late to meet his boyfriend, Gus.<\/p>\n<p>Chanel talks to Johnny about doing research on her situation. Johnny assures he will be by her side every step of the way. Chanel says she really needs his support, but that he can&#8217;t say her life is more important than the baby&#8217;s, reminding him that&#8217;s what he said when she first got pregnant. Chanel believes that&#8217;s what Johnny is thinking now. Johnny admits that he wasn&#8217;t sure at first if her getting pregnant was worth the risk but says they are in a completely different situation now. Johnny says all they can do now is listen to the doctor&#8217;s recommendations and go from there. Johnny promises to be a realist but that doesn&#8217;t mean he&#8217;ll be a pessimist as he knows nothing is guaranteed. Johnny states that decisions have to be made and she will be the one who makes them, so he will respect that. Johnny repeats that he&#8217;ll be with her every step of the way and he knows no one will fight harder to beat this than her as he hugs her and calls her his hero.<\/p>\n<p>Leo tries to fight off getting upset over Javi&#8217;s new boyfriend as Javi walks away.<\/p>\n<p>Gabi asks how it&#8217;s her fault that Liam left town. Arianna argues that she was a raving lunatic when she found out who he was and complains that she was horrible to him. Ari says just when she thought they were going to see if they could be something more, he vanishes because what guy wants to deal with an overprotective, crazy mother. Gabi questions if Liam left town because she made him slightly uncomfortable or if he pissed off the wrong people and had to get out of dodge. Ari says that Liam said he was done with all that and turning over a new leaf, so she believed him. Gabi suggests she didn&#8217;t know him as well as she thought.<\/p>\n<p>Theo talks about how this friend had been great and supportive until now and with everything going on with Lexie and messing things up with Jada, he can&#8217;t help but feel like he&#8217;s on the verge of melting down. Abe encourages that it&#8217;s okay as it would be a lot for anyone to handle. Theo argues that he wanted to show his mom how far he came from the little boy in the psychiatrist office and he wanted her to be proud of him. Abe assures that she is proud of him and he is as well, every moment of every day.<\/p>\n<p>After Lexie gives EJ her blood sample, Lexie asks EJ how Dr. Rolf plans to monitor her vitals from whatever bunker he&#8217;s hiding in. EJ reminds her that he owns the hospital, so he&#8217;s made sure Dr. Rolf has a backdoor to the server to access all of her records. EJ asks how Lexie is feeling psychologically as he imagines the whole experience has been intense. Lexie declares that she&#8217;s feeling a lot more at ease, knowing Paulina is out of their lives for good. EJ calls that a welcome bit of news, but admits he didn&#8217;t expect Abe to kick her to the curb so soon. Lexie reveals that he didn&#8217;t and that Paulina walked away, choosing not to get in the way of their lives. Lexie admits it was surprising because she gathered that Paulina is not a quitter. EJ agrees that Paulina is tough but warns that if she decides to unquit, he&#8217;ll make sure she regrets it.<\/p>\n<p>Gabi argues that Arianna only knew what Liam wanted her to know and questions if he told her about his parents or his childhood. Ari admits she didn&#8217;t and calls herself stupid. She complains that she really liked him and Liam trying to push her away made her like him even more. Ari thought she finally met someone. Gabi praises her and encourages that she&#8217;ll meet someone great. Arianna talks about having a front row seat all year to Holly and Tate and all of her friends falling in love, so she just kept thinking when is it going to be her turn. She says she let herself fall so hard even though she and Liam weren&#8217;t even dating, while now she&#8217;s all alone again and it really sucks. Gabi assures that she knows.<\/p>\n<p>Theo questions what Abe is proud of, arguing that he&#8217;s unemployed and living with his parents. Abe points out that he did amazing things in South Africa and was CEO of a multi-national conglomerate. Theo points out that he stepped down out of respect for his mom. Abe encourages that Lexie is incredibly proud of that. Theo is not sure what lies ahead for his future, career-wise. Abe tells him to take it easy and not rush things. Theo feels he can&#8217;t wait too long and says that they are a family again so they all have to figure out what the new normal is.<\/p>\n<p>Lexie guesses EJ is not a fan of Paulina. EJ says they tolerate each other for their children but they&#8217;ve had their share of dust ups. Lexie is glad someone feels about her the way she does and questions how Abe could fall for someone like her. EJ says he&#8217;s not one to defend Paulina but feels she&#8217;s being considerably less charitable than the sister he remembers. Lexie argues that it&#8217;s because she wanted her family back and Paulina had them. Lexie calls Paulina arrogant and complains about the way she carried herself and her tone when she came to see her as if letting her have her husband was some grand act of heroism. EJ remarks that if he didn&#8217;t know better, he&#8217;d think she was talking about herself.<\/p>\n<p>Chanel tells Johnny that she&#8217;s so grateful to have him by her side through everything. Chanel knows they&#8217;ve been dealing with a lot of sadness but they have to remember all they have to be grateful for. They agree they wouldn&#8217;t change what they have for the world.<\/p>\n<p>Javi meets his boyfriend Gus in the town square and kisses him, saying he&#8217;s feeling grateful to be his boyfriend. Gus asks if something is up. Javi admits he ran in to Leo at the Pub. Gus asks if he behaved himself. Javi says he surprisingly did but it was so awkward. Gus offers to help Javi forget about him and they kiss as Leo walks in to the town square and sees them. Javi admits to Gus that Leo was asking questions about him, like how long he will be in town. Gus responds that he has a lot of PTO, so he plans to stick around awhile. Javi points out that a guy transferred at his department and that Gus could apply if he decides to stick around Salem for good, while Leo remains watching from behind the bush.<\/p>\n<p>Chanel tells Johnny that a year ago, her biggest worry was whether people would boycott her bakery and now that seems small since Johnny nearly lost his life and she&#8217;s dealing with her illness. Chanel says it reminds her how precious every moment is, especially with him. Johnny tells Chanel that he loves her so much as they kiss.<\/p>\n<p>Lexie questions EJ seriously comparing her to Paulina. EJ calls it a compliment and jokes that it just means Abe has a type. Lexie threatens to have him escorted out while EJ tells her that he&#8217;s just getting a rise out of her like old times. EJ admits that he likes seeing the DiMera side of her and says for far too long, she shunned that part of herself. EJ declares that unlike other pretenders, it runs in her blood and their family legacy is a very big part of her, whether she likes it or not.<\/p>\n<p>Abe agrees with Theo that they do have to figure out what the new normal is, but right now he could use some help in getting the place ready for Lexie. Abe wants it to look it&#8217;s best and for Lexie to feel comfortable there. Theo asks about the pictures on the mantle with Paulina and if he should move them somewhere else. Abe says it doesn&#8217;t feel right taking them down. Theo points out that it doesn&#8217;t feel right having them up either.<\/p>\n<p>Arianna apologizes to Gabi for going on about a guy she knew for ten minutes when she just broke up with Philip. Gabi insists that she&#8217;ll be fine. Ari knows how much Philip meant to her and asks if there&#8217;s a way they can work things out. Gabi says she doesn&#8217;t think so since she betrayed his trust and when that happens, it&#8217;s next to impossible to win it back.<\/p>\n<p>Leo continues watching as Javi tells Gus that he&#8217;ll put in a good word for him, but they will fill the position soon. Javi knows Gus&#8217;s job, family, and his whole life is in Texas. Gus admits he wasn&#8217;t sold on the idea of staying in Salem before, but he&#8217;s come to realize he doesn&#8217;t want to be apart from Javi again. Javi calls that amazing and kisses him. Javi decides he will show Gus around, so they walk off together, leaving Leo looking sad.<\/p>\n<p>Arianna remains in bed and sadly looks at her phone again. Gabi brings her bread that she baked. Arianna recalls her grandmother saying all the kids baked that when they were feeling heartbroken and that it calmed the nerves. Gabi suggests making them a spa appointment. Ari knows they&#8217;ve had disagreements lately, but she wants Gabi to know that she loves her and she&#8217;s really grateful that no matter what happens, she can always trust her as she hugs her.<\/p>\n<p>Theo pulls out an old framed photo of Lexie which Abe recalls being taken. Abe decides they&#8217;re all set and suggests Theo go visit Lexie, adding that he could use the help in getting her home. Theo thanks Abe for the pep talk. They say they love each other as Theo then exits. Abe turns to the mantle and replaces Paulina&#8217;s photo with Lexie.<\/p>\n<p>Lexie tells EJ that he&#8217;s wrong as she&#8217;s not ashamed of being a DiMera, she just has reservations about how her son fits in to that world. Lexie acknowledges that she and Theo are DiMeras, but also Carvers, so she thinks it&#8217;s important to find the right balance for Theo&#8217;s sake. EJ says he has to get going and thanks her for the blood sample, as he&#8217;s sure Dr. Rolf will be very happy with what he finds. EJ calls her a model patient and exits.<\/p>\n<p>As Chanel and Johnny kiss, Johnny feels the baby kick. Johnny says this baby and Trey are lucky to have the best mom anyone could ask for. Johnny talks about being given perspective lately and says he&#8217;s cherishing feeling the baby kick big time. Chanel agrees with every precious moment as they feel more kicks.<\/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 Chanel is at home reading up on her tumor as Johnny wakes up from falling asleep on the couch.
