She told Lani that Lexie woke up, staked her claim on Abe, and ran off. Johnny interrupted their conversation to ask Lani about Kristen. Lani said she tried calling her, but her phone was out of service. She told him about the last time she saw Kristen and how it felt like a farewell. Johnny left to look into the situation. Paulina wanted Lani to do some digging into Lexie&#8217;s disappearance. Lani didn&#8217;t like the idea. Paulina said she wasn&#8217;t looking for dirt on Lexie. She said she didn&#8217;t want Abe to get hurt. Paulina said Lexie might not be in her right frame of mind. Lani was convinced to help. In the bunker, Lexie called Theo and lied about being in Johannesburg. EJ overheard the conversation and told her she was making a mistake. He said she should be with Abe and Theo. Lexie said she didn&#8217;t want to ruin their memory of her. She told him to go easy on Kristen because he was going to regret what he was doing and end up alone. EJ said he would keep that in mind. Lexie asked for paper so she could write notes for Abe and Theo when she died.<\/p>\n<p>Stephanie went to see Theo and noticed that he was upset. He said something was off with Lexie. Stephanie assured him that everything was okay. Theo changed the subject to ask Stephanie what was going on with her. Stephanie told him what happened. She said she let Joy get to her and made things worse. Stephanie said she kept screwing up when it concerned Joy. Theo advised her to talk to Alex. At the pub, Alex wanted to apologize to Joy for rushing out of the custody signing. Joy said she didn&#8217;t need Alex or his help with raising Kelsey. She said she could go back to New York and he could go back to his uncomplicated life. Joy said he could visit them in New York. She told him that she hadn&#8217;t changed her mind about Stephanie after what happened. Joy told Alex what happened with Stephanie. She told him she changed her mind about letting Stephanie see Kelsey until her overreaction made her realize she was right about her. Joy said she was done and ready to go back to New York. Alex let her know that he had paternal rights. He was about to threaten her by taking it to a judge until he stopped himself. Alex said he was part of Kelsey&#8217;s life. Joy said she would stay if Alex got Stephanie to leave her alone. Alex said that was good enough and left. He ended up running into Stephanie. Alex told her she could have ruined everything. Stephanie tried to explain, but Alex wouldn&#8217;t let her talk. He said Joy almost left town with his daughter. Alex told her she couldn&#8217;t go around attacking Joy. Before Stephanie could say anything, Alex walked off. Johnny went to see EJ to ask about Kristen. He asked EJ what he did. EJ said he didn&#8217;t make Kristen disappear. He told Johnny that Kristen probably left town after she tried to kill him. Johnny was shocked. EJ told him what Kristen did. He told Johnny that he wasn&#8217;t going to risk his life. EJ told Johnny what he planned to do to Kristen, but she left. He wanted Johnny to be careful because Kristen wasn&#8217;t going to hurt his children.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvmeg.com\/index.php\/2020\/07\/26\/recaps\/\">Back to the Daytime Recaps 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><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>Daytime Soap Opera Short Recaps Recap written by Michele and Cheryl Paulina wanted to talk to Lani about Lexie.
