Cat asks about making an appointment and informs her that she&#8217;s changed her mind and wants to try a hypnosis session. Marlena says she doesn&#8217;t have any appointments for awhile, so they can start right now.<\/p>\n<p>Chanel brings Trey to the town square and says it&#8217;s just them today since Johnny went to work before they got up. Theo joins them and asks how they are doing. Chanel says they are about to head to a mommy &amp; me class. Joy then comes by with Kelsey and greets them. Theo jokes that it&#8217;s like a Body &amp; Soul reunion. Joy mentions heading to the mommy &amp; me class, so Theo asks if it&#8217;s the same one and they are in it together. Chanel decides they are now going to skip it and claims she just remembered a lot of work she has to get done. Joy says that&#8217;s too bad and maybe she&#8217;ll catch her there next time, but Chanel says not likely.<\/p>\n<p>Alex tells Stephanie about EJ buying the loan from the bank just to put the screws to Titan and question what Xander and Kate were thinking by going after Johnny like that. Stephanie guesses they weren&#8217;t thinking but calls it relatively tame for a DiMera revenge plot. Alex knows this endless feud has caused her a lot of hurt. Stephanie says it&#8217;s hurt a lot of people but it&#8217;s because of this feud that Owen kidnapped her. Alex thought the bad blood between the families would have died with Victor and Stefano but Stephanie points out that it&#8217;s alive and well, so now the next generation are hellbent on destroying each other.<\/p>\n<p>EJ sits at home on the phone with Johnny, telling him that their mission was a success and they have begun treatment on Holly. EJ hangs up when Lexie arrives. Lexie warns EJ not to listen to Dr. Rolf&#8217;s medical advice so he doesn&#8217;t end up like her. EJ says he&#8217;s spoken with Dr. Rolf and he&#8217;s very sorry about the latest developments in her condition. Lexie doesn&#8217;t care as she spent 15 years hovering between life and death, then EJ brought her back without her consent and made her a human guinea pig with an experimental drug. Lexie asks if it was just to watch her suffer through the pain of seeing her body fail all over again and says she wouldn&#8217;t wish that on anyone, except maybe EJ.<\/p>\n<p>Theo comments that it seems like things are still tense between Chanel and Joy. Theo knows Chanel has her reasons to not like Joy but says it&#8217;s not like she intentionally set out to hurt her. Chanel doesn&#8217;t want to get in to what happened with Joy and Johnny, saying the real issue was the cover up and the lying. Chanel states that she and Johnny have moved on. Theo says that&#8217;s good, but Joy is living in Salem and has a kid the same age as Trey, so it&#8217;s not like she can avoid her forever. Chanel says she can sure as hell try.<\/p>\n<p>Alex apologizes to Stephanie as he realizes all this talk about going to war with EJ might be triggering. Stephanie says it&#8217;s okay as she&#8217;s his wife and he should be able to talk to her about whatever&#8217;s going on at work. Stephanie adds that she&#8217;s done feeling like a victim. Alex says he&#8217;s proud of her but still feels he shouldn&#8217;t be putting it in her face. Stephanie repeats that it&#8217;s okay and just hopes his cousins are okay as it&#8217;s another thing to throw gasoline on the family feud. Alex assures he&#8217;s trying to stop this from spinning out. Alex talks about Titan being his daughter&#8217;s legacy too, so he owes it to her to do whatever he can to save the company. Stephanie says she&#8217;s his family too. Alex calls her the most important as they kiss. Stephanie then declares she&#8217;s going to help him fight to save Titan and she&#8217;s already thinking about how to spin the PR as that will be a big part in stopping EJ. Alex then gets a call from Joy, who tells Alex that she needs help.<\/p>\n<p>Marlena asks Cat what changed her mind about having hypnosis. Cat responds that she had a conversation with a friend who told her that she could trust her. Marlena asks who that friend was. Cat then reveals it was Andrew Donovan. Marlena didn&#8217;t know she knew Andrew and questions where they met. Cat has a feeling she can figure that out. Marlena asks if Cat is telling her that she&#8217;s ISA. Cat then confirms that she is.<\/p>\n<p>Theo comments on Chanel really hating Joy. Chanel says she doesn&#8217;t hate her, she just doesn&#8217;t want anything to do with her. Theo questions Chanel forgiving Johnny, but not Joy. Chanel argues that it&#8217;s not about forgiveness. Chanel declares that with everything going on in her life, she needs positivity and not fake friends as she calls Joy a bucket of drama.<\/p>\n<p>Joy tells Alex that she was on her way to a mommy &amp; me class with Kelsey when she got a flat tire. Alex asks where she is. She responds that she&#8217;s in a grassy spot on the side of the highway. Alex if she has a spare tire. Joy confirms that she does but she&#8217;s a New York City girl and doesn&#8217;t know how to change it. Kelsey starts to cry, so Alex tells Joy not to worry as he&#8217;ll be right there, leaving Stephanie annoyed.<\/p>\n<p>Marlena gets a text from Andrew, confirming that Cat is with the ISA and says she understands now why she was hesitant about hypnosis. Cat says she&#8217;s sorry she wasn&#8217;t able to tell her before. Marlena responds that she understands the rules of the ISA. Marlena then asks if working as her assistant was part of the operation. Cat says that all she can say is that Marlena and her family were never the target of any investigations. Marlena asks if she was still an ISA agent. Cat clarifies that she was an analyst. Cat asks if Marlena is still okay with doing this as she doesn&#8217;t want to put her in a position of something dangerous. Marlena responds that it&#8217;s not her first rodeo with the ISA or confidentiality. Marlena asks if Cat&#8217;s still interested in what happened at the clinic in Italy and her interactions with EJ. Cat confirms that she is and says she remembers a little bit, but it&#8217;s mostly a blur. Marlena understands since she was in a major accident. Cat brings up that EJ not remembering much under hypnosis. Marlena points out that EJ was unconscious for most of that time while Cat was awake, so she&#8217;s optimistic that they will get some answers. Cat assures that she does not intend on sharing those answers with EJ but says she does need to know for herself what happened between them.<\/p>\n<p>EJ questions Lexie coming to his home to rake him over the coals after everything he&#8217;s done for her. Lexie responds that she came to see Dr. Rolf because he&#8217;s her only hope as that&#8217;s how they both wanted it. EJ asks if she thinks he wanted her to suffer and fail. Lexie thinks he didn&#8217;t care and just used the drug on her because he was in a hurry to make a buck. EJ argues that she can&#8217;t think he just did this for money. Lexie remarks that&#8217;s the reason he does everything. EJ shouts that he did this for family. EJ declares that Stefano built an empire and he must carry his vision forward. EJ screams that every sacrifice he makes, he did for this family. EJ reminds her that Stefano&#8217;s dying wish was to bring her back and he made that happen, shouting that he gave Lexie her life back. Lexie responds that he gave her life back just long enough to fall back in love with it, only to lose it and die all over again.<\/p>\n<p>Marlena asks if Cat&#8217;s interest in the connection between her and EJ is personal or professional. Cat responds that it&#8217;s professional. Marlena guesses she&#8217;s investigating EJ then. Cat responds that if she was, she couldn&#8217;t tell her what the case was about. Marlena reminds her that she has a personal connection to EJ as he was married to her daughter and is the father of two of her grandchildren but she doesn&#8217;t think that will affect her ability to treat her properly. Cat says if she&#8217;s okay with it, she is too. Cat guesses EJ told her that he believes their time in Italy at the rehab hospital might have had an effect on the dissolution of his marriage to Sami. Marlena confirms EJ mentioned that. Cat hopes that she doesn&#8217;t say anything to upset her if she does remember anything. Marlena says she normally doesn&#8217;t tell her personal feelings, but if Cat had anything to do with the breakup of EJ and Sami, then she and Sami both owe her gratitude, which surprises Cat.<\/p>\n<p>Lexie tells EJ that she begged Dr. Rolf to try more things but they both know how it&#8217;s going to end. EJ argues that they don&#8217;t as everything they&#8217;ve done has been groundbreaking and Dr. Rolf is working around the clock to find a cure for these unexpected side effects. Lexie tells EJ not to talk to her like one of his investors, but as his sister. Lexie argues that EJ was so determined to be a hero that he never thought about what it would do to her or the people she loves if his experiment went sideways. Lexie complains that it&#8217;s bad enough that Abe and Theo lost her once and now they have to watch as she dies before their eyes a second time and she will never forgive him for that.<\/p>\n<p>Theo tells Chanel that he gets not wanting extra drama in her life, but he wonders if trying to avoid Joy will cause more stress instead of trying to peacefully co-exist. Chanel argues that she&#8217;s heard all of Joy&#8217;s excuses, but she was supposed to be her friend and trying to help her almost cost her marriage. Theo admits that he hates when someone disappoints him too. Chanel apologizes for getting upset. Theo says he can relate as he was let down recently by someone he cared about too. Chanel guesses he&#8217;s talking about the friend who accused him of lying. Theo responds that she&#8217;s not the person he thought she was.<\/p>\n<p>Alex tells Stephanie that he&#8217;s sorry about this. Stephanie questions Joy not calling roadside assistance and complains that Alex can&#8217;t just be her first call for everything. Alex says he knows but he can&#8217;t leave her stranded on the side of the road. Alex says he hopes she understands and kisses her as he then exits.<\/p>\n<p>Stephanie finds Chanel with Trey in the park and asks if she&#8217;s okay. Chanel says she was just on a walk with Trey and got a little queasy. Stephanie asks if there&#8217;s anything she can do. Chanel says nausea is just a normal side effect of chemo. Stephanie offers to take Trey for a walk while she rests for a minute but Chanel snarks back that she&#8217;s fine and can take care of her son.<\/p>\n<p>Marlena begins hypnotizing Cat and asks what she sees. Cat tells her that she&#8217;s in EJ&#8217;s room as his face is covered in bandages but she knows it&#8217;s him and she&#8217;s reading to him. Cat talked to EJ, saying she knows it&#8217;s silly to keep coming in and hoping something would change, but she thought talking to him day after day might awaken something inside him. Cat questioned why she cared so much and pointed out that very few of Clyde Weston&#8217;s victims suffered as much as them, so she felt that bonded them for life.<\/p>\n<p>EJ asks Lexie is not grateful for every moment she had in the second chance at life, like seeing Theo all grown up. Lexie responds that she is grateful for the moments and maybe it&#8217;s worth the pain she&#8217;s facing now, but she wishes she had more time with Abe and Theo as they are everything to her. Lexie cries at the thought of losing them once again as Theo then walks in and asks what&#8217;s wrong. Lexie tells him that she just got emotional while thanking EJ for everything he&#8217;s done for her. Theo says he&#8217;s happy and grateful to have her back. EJ says they all are. Theo goes to thank EJ and notices EJ&#8217;s black eye. EJ explains that he got hit while breaking up a fight. Theo says he&#8217;s not great at picking up on vibes but he feels like he walked in on something weird. Lexie claims that everything is great.<\/p>\n<p>Stephanie apologizes to Chanel as she didn&#8217;t mean to overstep. Chanel apologizes as she&#8217;s a little on edge. Stephanie says she understands and that Chanel is probably still upset with her about the babysitting mess with Trey as she felt Alex was trying to pressure her and she overreacted. Stephanie states that she really loves kids but she&#8217;s not ready to be a mom herself. Chanel says she gets that and hopes things are okay with her and Alex as she&#8217;s sure it hasn&#8217;t been easy dealing with Joy and the baby. Stephanie calls it complicated but says she won&#8217;t stand here and complain to her. Chanel asks her to do so and says she&#8217;d loving nothing more than for her to complain to her.<\/p>\n<p>Alex and Joy go to the Brady Pub with Kelsey. Joy thanks Alex for changing her tire and admits she was impressed. Alex says he&#8217;s just glad they are okay. Joy admits standing on the side of the road was terrifying. Alex can&#8217;t believe no one stopped to help her. Joy says she wasn&#8217;t exactly waving down strangers and hopes she didn&#8217;t pull him away from anything important. Alex says not at all.<\/p>\n<p>Stephanie tells Chanel that it doesn&#8217;t feel right to dump her problems on her. Chanel says she can still be empathetic and she&#8217;d rather have conversations that aren&#8217;t about her illness or her chemo. Chanel wishes people would treat her like a normal person living her life. Stephanie says she understands that very well. Stephanie relates to when she got home after being kidnapped and everyone treated her like a fragile doll. Stephanie admits she had PTSD, but like Chanel, the last thing she wanted was people feeling sorry for her. Chanel says maybe they can just try to have some casual conversation then which Stephanie says she&#8217;s all for. Chanel then asks Stephanie for the tea on Joy.<\/p>\n<p>Marlena asks if Cat can see the book she&#8217;s reading to EJ. Cat responds that it&#8217;s Wuthering Heights and remembers EJ squeezing her hand as she read to him. Cat then remembers kissing EJ on the cheek. Marlena then wakes Cat from her hypnosis.<\/p>\n<p>Stephanie asks Chanel how much time she has for tea on Joy. Chanel hopes she&#8217;s not being insensitive but Stephanie thinks it would help to vent about Joy, so Chanel tells her to go on. Stephanie starts with a couple days ago when Stephanie called Alex, saying there was an emergency with Kelsey at the hospital but it was a problem with her insurance card and then emergency number two was a flat tire. Chanel can&#8217;t believe Joy called Stephanie&#8217;s husband over a flat tire. Stephanie mocks Joy and says she&#8217;s seen the damsel in distress bit before. Chanel agrees that she has it down and talks about how Joy used to go on to her about being lonely in Salem without friends or family. Chanel adds that when she found out Joy took Johnny to bed, she still tried to act innocent and claimed she only did say anything because she didn&#8217;t want to hurt her feelings. Stephanie calls that lame and awful. Chanel calls Joy a real operator. Stephanie says Alex assures she has nothing to worry about but she feels he has his head in the sand when it comes to Joy. Chanel warns Stephanie to watch her back when it comes to Joy.<\/p>\n<p>Alex gets Joy signed up for roadside assistance so she&#8217;ll never be stranded again. Joy says she won&#8217;t have to bother him again while Alex assures that she can call him anytime about Kelsey. Joy jokes with him and says she knows it&#8217;s her second emergency this week but promises it won&#8217;t become a regular thing. Alex says he gets it and understands she&#8217;s just getting settled in with the move, Kelsey, and all the other life changes. Joy says she&#8217;s lived on her own before, but somehow this feels more alone. Alex responds that being a mom now changes everything, but she&#8217;s not alone. Joy thanks him and says when it comes to emergencies, she will call Alex for anything Kelsey related and anything else, she&#8217;ll call 911 or handle it herself. Alex says that sounds like a plan.<\/p>\n<p>Marlena asks if Cat remembered something else from the clinic. Cat informs her that she was reading to EJ and then she felt him squeezing her hand like he knew she was there which she doesn&#8217;t think he had done before. Marlena notes that Cat seemed to have a very strong emotional attachment to that moment and asks if she was excited to realize he knew she was there. Cat responds that she thinks she was. Marlena asks if there&#8217;s anything else she remembers, but Cat claims that was it. Marlena calls that a very good start for today. Cat asks if that&#8217;s all. Marlena thinks it&#8217;s good to go slowly at first and asks if she wants to book another session. Cat assures that she would because that was very enlightening. Marlena says she will get her paperwork from the front desk and get her on the calendar as she then exits. Cat says to herself that it was real.<\/p>\n<p>Lexie asks what Theo came for. Theo says he was going to talk to Tony before he and Anna leave for Europe, to see if he had any parting advice for running the company. EJ informs him that Tony and Anna are upstairs packing. Theo tells Lexie that he&#8217;ll see her at home as they hug. Lexie calls Theo his mother&#8217;s delight which Theo recalls her calling him when he was little and says he still likes it as he heads upstairs. Lexie tells EJ that every time she&#8217;s with Theo, all she can see is the little boy who lost his mother and now he might lose her all over again. EJ tells Lexie that they must not give up hope as the world needs her light and her heart. EJ declares he&#8217;s not going to let it happen as he hugs her while looking panicked.<\/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 Cat goes to Marlena&#8217;s office at the hospital and asks if she has a minute so Marlena invites her in.
