Lexie talks about being thrilled to finally be out of the hospital bed. Lexie calls the place lovely while Theo says he&#8217;s sure it will take her some time to feel like home, but Lexie says that they are all she needs.<\/p>\n<p>Mark is working in the lab until Cat shows up and startles him. Cat delivers a box that arrived downstairs which Mark says must be the test tubes he ordered. Mark mentions hearing that Cat and Aaron went to visit their mom this morning and asks how she is. Cat says that she&#8217;s not good at all which is the last thing Aaron needed after everything with Sophia. Cat tells Mark that their mom&#8217;s health has seriously deteriorated the last few weeks and she&#8217;s struggling to even communicate. Cat questions if nothing else can be done for her. Mark responds that the doctors are doing all they can. Mark adds that it&#8217;s killing him that he&#8217;s working on a drug that could work miracles, but knowing it won&#8217;t be ready in time to help their mom.<\/p>\n<p>Paulina goes to see Chanel and says she just got done watching the twins, so she thought she&#8217;d come see Trey. Chanel tells her that Trey is taking a nap, so they sit together. Chanel asks how Paulina is. Paulina says she&#8217;s hanging in there but notes Chanel looking exhausted. Chanel says she didn&#8217;t get much sleep and informs Paulina that she got some bad news yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>Gabi runs in to Philip in the town square and says she has something to say. Philip says he doesn&#8217;t want to hear it, but Gabi says she&#8217;s saying it anyway.<\/p>\n<p>EJ goes to see Johnny at the DiMera Enterprises office. EJ tells Johnny that they don&#8217;t have much time because Tony is striking out on finding someone to run the company and Anna wants to leave town, so they need to make their move. Johnny feels they are out of moves to make. EJ says they need to put together a pitch to convince Tony he&#8217;s making a mistake and let Johnny stay on as CEO. EJ suggests Johnny go home and put on his best suit, but Johnny tells him to forget it as he&#8217;s not making Tony the hard sell now. EJ questions why not. Johnny responds that he&#8217;s not interested in keeping the job anymore and announces that he&#8217;s quitting.<\/p>\n<p>Lexie tells Abe and Theo that she&#8217;d love to take a walk through the town square later to see how it&#8217;s changed, maybe buy some new clothes and suggests dining out tonight. Theo suggests staying in for dinner and offers to cook which surprises Lexie. Lexie says she won&#8217;t let Theo do all the work, so she&#8217;ll take care of the dishes. Abe says she won&#8217;t lift a finger as she needs some rest. Lexie declares that she&#8217;s been resting for 14 years and is ready to live again. Theo suggests maybe she ease in to it. Lexie assures that they don&#8217;t have to worry about losing her again as she&#8217;s here to stay.<\/p>\n<p>Paulina asks Chanel what it is. Chanel brings up her doctor&#8217;s appointment which Paulina assumed was to check on the baby. Chanel reveals it was a follow up to a biopsy she had done. Chanel didn&#8217;t want her to worry until she was sure it was something serious, but now she&#8217;s sure as she announces she has breast cancer. Chanel says she didn&#8217;t want to lay it on her with all she has going on. Paulina says not to worry about her and hopes it was caught early. Chanel says it was, but it&#8217;s growing aggressively which isn&#8217;t great. Chanel notes that the 5 year survival rate is high. Paulina asks if the pregnancy will affect the treatment. Chanel says there are options that she will discuss with the doctors to figure out what&#8217;s best for her and the baby. Chanel asks Paulina to try not to worry. Paulina knows she will handle and deal with it with courage, so she will be there for whatever she needs. Chanel asks her to just stay positive for her which Paulina agrees to.<\/p>\n<p>Gabi tells Philip that she&#8217;s not looking for a fight and she just wants to keep him in the loop. Gabi informs him that her lawyer sent in all the paper to nullify her divorce from Stefan and she&#8217;s not sure the DiMeras still plan to fight it, but it&#8217;d be a losing battle if they did. Gabi knows Philip regrets helping her with this but she&#8217;s grateful that he did and now that she&#8217;s entitled to Stefan&#8217;s inheritance, she still wants him to have a part of it as a token of her gratitude. Philip calls it her guilt and declares he doesn&#8217;t want a penny from her.<\/p>\n<p>EJ questions Johnny quitting. Johnny feels it&#8217;s better to walk away with his head held high. EJ argues that will only jeopardize DiMera&#8217;s future and they can&#8217;t keep playing musical chairs with the CEO position. Johnny says he can&#8217;t keep working these crazy hours, dealing with the pressure of being CEO, while having an infant at home with a pregnant wife. Johnny then reveals to EJ that Chanel is fighting cancer.<\/p>\n<p>Cat questions if Mark is saying the drug EJ produced in the lab could possibly help their mom. Mark explains that it showed significant improvements on dead rats. Cat asks about possibly getting a dose to their mom but Mark says they wouldn&#8217;t be able to do before the FDA approved it. Cat argues that EJ had no problem giving it to Lexie which Mark points out was different because Lexie was dead, so EJ wasn&#8217;t breaking any laws by giving her a non-approved drug compared to a living patient. Cat questions who says the FDA ever has to find out which shocks Mark. Cat argues that it has to have crossed his mind that he could sneak the miracle drug to their mom. Mark admits it has, but he&#8217;s not doing anything that could get him thrown back in jail. Mark adds that he doesn&#8217;t even have access since Dr. Rolf keeps a tight lid on the supply. Cat says she wasn&#8217;t saying he should steal it, but thought with his inner knowledge of the lab, he could find them a loophole.<\/p>\n<p>Johnny sits with EJ and informs him that they got the results of the biopsy yesterday, confirming the tumor is malignant. EJ says he&#8217;s so sorry. Johnny adds that they decided to just keep it in the family, so EJ agrees not to tell a soul. Johnny asks EJ not to act like it&#8217;s a big tragedy around Chanel because they are trying to stay positive. EJ asks if he can make any calls, but Johnny says Sarah has had them covered. Johnny tells EJ that what he could use from him is his support which means supporting his decision to step back from DiMera.<\/p>\n<p>Chanel hates telling Paulina this when she&#8217;s already dealing with so much. Paulina repeats that she&#8217;s not allowed to worry about her and encourages the positive vibes only. Paulina says times will be tough and when she&#8217;s feeling scared or not as strong, she can lean on family. Paulina states that sometimes, she will need her mom more than anyone else. Paulina adds that Chanel was there for her in her fight, so now it&#8217;s her turn to be there for her. Chanel feels lucky to have an amazing mom. Paulina declares that they are warriors and always will be.<\/p>\n<p>Theo shows Lexie some old photos of his and comes across one with Claire. Lexie hopes she never shows her face in town and calls her a little tramp for cheating on Theo. Lexie asks Theo if anyone new has caught his eye since moving back to Salem. Theo responds that there was someone, but it&#8217;s not going to work out.<\/p>\n<p>Gabi questions Philip refusing her lifeline when Titan is hanging by a thread. Philip responds that he doesn&#8217;t want anything from her. Gabi argues that it&#8217;s his pride talking and asks what she can do to change his mind. Gabi repeats that she&#8217;s so sorry for bugging his office, tipping off Tony, and not telling him herself so that he had to hear it from Theo. Philip questions what she&#8217;s talking about and reveals Theo didn&#8217;t tell him anything, which shocks Gabi.<\/p>\n<p>Abe asks Theo if he&#8217;s talking about Jada. Lexie asks who Jada is. Theo says she&#8217;s just someone he went on a few dates with, but it&#8217;s not her. Abe asks if it&#8217;s the friend who accused him of something he didn&#8217;t do. Theo confirms it&#8217;s her. Lexie feels it sounds like she doesn&#8217;t deserve him. Theo decides he&#8217;s going to the bakery. Abe mentions that Paulina&#8217;s daughter runs it. Theo tells Lexie that she&#8217;d really like her. Theo says he&#8217;ll be back soon and rushes off. Lexie feels Theo was looking for any excuse to shut down that conversation. Abe tells her that Theo is better with his emotions but this wound is still fresh. Lexie hates to see him heartbroken, but says he&#8217;ll know when he meets the right one, just like she did as Lexie and Abe then kiss.<\/p>\n<p>Gabi questions who told Philip if not Theo. Philip says it doesn&#8217;t matter and what matters is that he knows the truth. Gabi realizes she made a terrible mistake and needs to fix this. Philip tells her to continue her apology tour and suggests trying honesty for a change as he walks off.<\/p>\n<p>Mark tells Cat that he doesn&#8217;t know if there are any loopholes but he could talk to Dr. Rolf, not that he knows where he is. Mark admits they have communicated from time to time. Cat asks if he thinks Dr. Rolf would go behind EJ&#8217;s back. Mark says probably not but he might be able to persuade EJ that it&#8217;s important for his research on the drug. Cat decides she can&#8217;t ask him to reach out to Dr. Rolf as she cannot have him held liable for any bending of the rules since he wouldn&#8217;t have plausible deniability. Cat points out that she&#8217;s just an innocent administrative assistant that wouldn&#8217;t know she&#8217;s doing anything wrong. Mark argues that as much as he wants to help their mom, he doesn&#8217;t want to see Cat getting in trouble either. Cat tells him not to worry as she can handle EJ.<\/p>\n<p>EJ advises Johnny not to make the same mistakes as he did and agrees that his wife and children must always come first. Johnny assures that they always will. Jada walks in and asks if it&#8217;s a bad time. Johnny asks what he can do for her. Jada responds that she was hoping to put the Sophia Choi case to bed, so she hoped to ask him some more questions in private. EJ tells Johnny they will talk later and says to give Chanel his best as he exits the office.<\/p>\n<p>Paulina asks Chanel what she can take off her plate while she&#8217;s dealing with all this and offers to watch Trey more often or cook dinner. Chanel says the best thing she can do is take care of herself, so she doesn&#8217;t have to worry about her. Paulina offers to watch the Bakery but Chanel says that Lani already said she&#8217;d do that. Paulina is happy that they are so close. Paulina suggests Chanel get some rest while Trey is napping and she&#8217;ll stay to watch him. Chanel agrees that will do good and thanks her. Paulina reminds her that she&#8217;s always here for her as they hug.<\/p>\n<p>EJ goes to the hospital and greets Cat. EJ guesses she hasn&#8217;t made her appointment with Marlena yet. Cat says she was doing that now and thanks him for giving her time off so she could go with Aaron to Sophia&#8217;s memorial which also gave them time to check on their mother. EJ is glad he could help and says he was just telling Johnny that family always has to come first. Cat is glad they agree on that because she has a huge personal favor to ask of him.<\/p>\n<p>Abe tells Lexie that he just can&#8217;t believe she&#8217;s here. Lexie is sure it must be strange for him since he probably thinks of it as he and Paulina&#8217;s home. Abe assures that Lexie will always be in his heart. Lexie asks about Paulina. Abe responds that she accepted it and knew his feelings for Lexie were forever. Lexie asks if Abe would also say Paulina would always be in his heart, because she&#8217;s not sure she can be so accepting.<\/p>\n<p>Paulina talks on the phone about having to reschedule due to a family emergency but Chanel comes back in and tells her not to do that, so she hangs up. Paulina argues that she didn&#8217;t even take a power nap. Chanel says she couldn&#8217;t sleep, so she shouldn&#8217;t cancel her meeting. Chanel questions if Salem&#8217;s mayor is just going to be missing for a few weeks and argues that she has enough to worry about without the whole city falling apart. Paulina says she&#8217;s made her point but she&#8217;s only a phone call away. Paulina tells Chanel that she loves her as they hug and then she leaves for her meeting. Chanel then starts to cry until Trey wakes up crying. Chanel goes to check on him and decides they should get some fresh air.<\/p>\n<p>Theo runs in to Gabi in the town square. Gabi says she was just calling him but Theo doesn&#8217;t want to talk to her. Gabi stops him and says she owes him a huge apology.<\/p>\n<p>Johnny tells Jada that he&#8217;s a little surprised as he thought the investigation was wrapped up. Jada says she&#8217;s just tying up some loose ends. Jada reveals that they found the gun used to knock him out in the river but it&#8217;s untraceable, so they are wondering how Sophia could&#8217;ve got it and why she would go through the trouble to get an untraceable gun if she wasn&#8217;t planning to shoot him. Johnny agrees that is strange. Jada asks if Sophia said anything else to him after attacking him that he might not have remembered in his first statement. Johnny reveals that she actually did say something.<\/p>\n<p>Gabi tells Theo that she is so sorry for lashing out at him and accused him of telling Philip when she should&#8217;ve known that he&#8217;d never do anything like that. Theo agrees and asks why the apology and what made her realize that he wasn&#8217;t the one who betrayed her. Gabi admits that Philip set her straight. Theo guesses that if Philip hadn&#8217;t vouched for him, she&#8217;d still think he was a lying dirtbag. Theo thought she came to her senses because she realized she actually knew him, but declares he was wrong and walks away.<\/p>\n<p>EJ sits with Cat and asks if everything is alright. Cat informs him that her mother&#8217;s dementia is rapidly progressing and not responding to any treatments. Cat says that Clyde&#8217;s brainwashing seems to have rewired her brain. EJ assures that he understands and asks what he can do to help. Cat hates to ask but asks if there&#8217;s any possible way to use the drug that brought Lexie back on her mother, either through clinical trials or some other means.<\/p>\n<p>Lexie tells Abe that she doesn&#8217;t mean he has to cut Paulina out of his life completely and that they can&#8217;t be friends later, but she would prefer to get reacquainted again with her husband without any distractions. Abe agrees to call Paulina to tell her they&#8217;d like some time to themselves for awhile. Lexie suggests not talking to her at all as she&#8217;s sure if Abe goes no contact with her, she&#8217;ll get the hint.<\/p>\n<p>Paulina goes to her room at the Salem Inn and opens her laptop to research breast cancer and pregnancy.<\/p>\n<p>Chanel walks Trey to the town square and runs in to Theo. Theo tells her that Lexie got home from the hospital today. Theo knows it&#8217;s awkward and he&#8217;s sorry about what went down between Abe and Paulina. Chanel calls it heartbreaking for her mother, but she doesn&#8217;t want that to take away from the joy Theo must have to have his mom back and she doesn&#8217;t want things to be weird between them. Chanel says it will just be different. Chanel adds that Theo is family, so there&#8217;s something he should know. Chanel then notices Theo seemingly starting to feel uncomfortable and asks if he&#8217;s okay.<\/p>\n<p>Johnny tells Jada that he was mostly out of it due to the fumes, but he&#8217;s been trying to piece together some of the things Sophia said to him while he was tied up. Johnny states that somehow Sophia knew that he would be home alone and that Chanel and Trey wouldn&#8217;t be home for hours, and that they were supposed to be at the aquarium with Lani and the twins. Jada wonders how she knew that. Johnny suggests she could&#8217;ve been stalking them or planted a bug in their apartment, but he&#8217;s not aware of her being at their place. Jada notes that forensics didn&#8217;t find any listening devices. Johnny says it&#8217;s possible she took it with her when she left. Jada feels there&#8217;s a simpler explanation as someone might have told Sophia his family&#8217;s plans for the day. Johnny questions who would do that.<\/p>\n<p>Theo sits down and tells Chanel it was just sensory overload. Theo says he used to have meltdowns as a kid, so he came up with coping mechanisms that worked until recently. Theo says it tends to happen when his brain tries to process too much at once, including changes to his routine. Chanel acknowledges that there have been a lot of changes lately. Theo says it&#8217;s not that he&#8217;s thrilled about his mom, but it&#8217;s a big adjustment and he just ran in to someone who he used to really like until she accused of him lying. Chanel says she must not know him well. Theo says because of that, he was already on edge when he ran in to Chanel and then she mentioned things being different. Chanel clarifies that she didn&#8217;t mean their relationship being different, just things like Paulina moving out. Theo says he knows and was just overwhelmed. Theo asks what Chanel was going to say earlier that seemed important. Chanel claims she was just going to say that no matter what, she&#8217;ll always be his sister and love him as they hug.<\/p>\n<p>Jada asks if Johnny can think of anyone else who might have known that Lani and Chanel would be in Chicago that day. Johnny says just family like Julie and Paulina. Jada asks if anyone else might have interacted with Sophia. Johnny says not that he&#8217;s aware of. Jada says he&#8217;s given her a lot to look in to and he knows how to reach her if he thinks of anything else. Johnny thanks Jada as she exits.<\/p>\n<p>EJ asks what Cat is implying by other means. Cat mentions not having a lot of money. EJ says that won&#8217;t be necessary and agrees to try to get a message to Dr. Rolf, asking him to review her mother&#8217;s case and if he believes their drug could help her, then of course he will give it to her. Cat thanks him and says it means the world to her. EJ adds that there would be certain conditions that they can discuss later, but right now he has a meeting with the benefits administrator. EJ tells Cat to stay strong as he walks away. Cat then pulls out her phone and calls Rafe, telling him that she just laid a trap for EJ and she&#8217;s pretty sure he&#8217;s going to fall right in to it.<\/p>\n<p>Gabi runs in to Philip again in the town square. Philip says he has nothing left to say to her. Gabi questions him sending a long e-mail to her assistant and why he&#8217;s trying to cancel the Titan-Gabi Chic shipping deal. Philip repeats that he wants nothing to do with her. Gabi argues that they have a contract and it would be stupid of him to throw away this deal when his company needs the money since he wouldn&#8217;t accept her offer of the DiMera money. Philip tells Gabi that money can&#8217;t buy love and also can&#8217;t erase betrayal and can&#8217;t fix what she broke. Gabi accuses him of having a self-destructive temper tantrum and warns that if Titan goes down, his ego won&#8217;t be the only thing bruised as thousands of people will lose their jobs. Gabi says she knows underneath all of his anger, he&#8217;s heartbroken and so is she. Gabi adds that she&#8217;s not letting out of their contract, so they will have to work together whether he likes it or not.<\/p>\n<p>Lexie tells Abe that they can&#8217;t keep avoiding the conversation and that Paulina stepped aside because she knew Abe couldn&#8217;t break her heart. Lexie declares that she needs to know affirmatively that he&#8217;s made that decision too. Abe assures that he has, but admits that he feels badly for Paulina. Abe tells Lexie that they built a beautiful family together while he mourned and missed her every day she was gone, but now she&#8217;s here as they kiss.<\/p>\n<p>Mark goes to feed the rat in the lab but finds it no longer moving. Mark begins to worry as he states that the rat came back to life once and can do it again.<\/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 bring Lexie home.
