Rachel brings up Kristen liking pancakes. Brady notes that Sarah does too and says she will be there soon to welcome her home. Rachel wishes it was Kristen and asks when she is going to come see her.<\/p>\n<p>Xander is waiting in Marlena&#8217;s office, thinking back to almost kissing Sarah, until Marlena comes in and greets him. Xander calls it a beautiful morning and says he&#8217;s in a great mood since Titan gets to live another day. Marlena congratulates him. Xander calls it a major relief and announces that he also just had a breakthrough with Sarah.<\/p>\n<p>Javi has a nightmare about Dimitri trying to strangle Leo and then wakes up in a panic, yelling out Leo&#8217;s name while in bed next to Gus.<\/p>\n<p>Leo arrives in Alamainia, re-reading the text from Dimitri and guesses that he must be holding Gwen in the same house that Gwen held him.<\/p>\n<p>At the house in Alamainia, Gwen complains to Dimitri about the food that she is being fed. Dimitri tells her not to worry about being poisoned, even though that&#8217;s what he worried about when she had him held captive here for an entire year. Gwen claims to not know what he&#8217;s talking about. Dimitri promises to be a better host than she was as he remarks that she didn&#8217;t come to visit him the entire time. Gwen says that&#8217;s because she didn&#8217;t know where he was. Gwen questions how long he&#8217;s planning on keeping her here. Dimitri asks if forever works for her.<\/p>\n<p>Javi apologizes to Gus for his nightmare. Gus asks if he wants to tell him what it was about. Javi claims he doesn&#8217;t really remember. Gus then points out that Javi was calling out Leo&#8217;s name, so it might have been about him.<\/p>\n<p>Leo sits outside and looks up the address to the house where Dimitri was held. Leo says that it&#8217;s like a fortress but then says it&#8217;s not so complicated to get in. Leo says he&#8217;s got this and walks off with his bags.<\/p>\n<p>Gwen questions if Dimitri expects her to admit under extreme duress that she kidnapped him to acquire his vast fortune, because she did not do it. Dimitri tells her to try that on someone who might believe her. Gwen says if she did kidnap him, he&#8217;d have a little bit of proof by now and she&#8217;d be in a cell. Dimitri calls the house escape proof and says he didn&#8217;t have to change a thing from when he was held there. Gwen argues that his sick twisted fantasy will fizzle out quick. Gwen tells him to enjoy his illusion of control because she&#8217;s high maintenance and a force to be reckoned with. Dimitri thinks they both know forces can be eliminated.<\/p>\n<p>Brady encourages Rachel that they will hear from Kristen soon and that she&#8217;s just busy. Sarah then arrives so Rachel runs up to hug her. Sarah tells her that she&#8217;s so happy she&#8217;s home. Brady tells Sarah that he&#8217;s glad she could join them. Rachel tells Sarah that she missed her, but points out that Kristen might be joining them as she&#8217;s probably coming back soon. Brady points out that they don&#8217;t know if she is coming, but even if she was, Sarah would not be leaving. Rachel notes that she doesn&#8217;t think Kristen would like it.<\/p>\n<p>Marlena asks Xander what kind of breakthrough he had with Sarah. Xander explains that he, Sarah, and Philip were going to celebrate Titan with champagne, but when he and Sarah went to retrieve the bottle, they somehow got locked in the wine cellar. Xander says while they were in there, their chemistry came roaring back and he knows Sarah felt it too. Xander tells Marlena about the mouse and how Sarah jumped in to his arms and they were about to kiss, but Philip showed up to rescue them before they could. Xander declares that he has hope for the first time in a long time that he and Sarah could be together again. Marlena brings up Xander being involved with other women recently. Xander says that was nothing more than lust as his heart wasn&#8217;t in to it with Gwen or Kristen. Xander knows Sarah and Brady are in a relationship and that Brady is Marlena&#8217;s stepson. Marlena says what&#8217;s concerning her is that Xander might be deluding himself in to thinking that almost kiss meant that Sarah wants back in to a relationship with him. Xander questions if she doesn&#8217;t think it&#8217;s possible. Marlena thinks he needs to be realistic. Xander argues that he is being realistic as he could see it in Sarah&#8217;s eyes. Marlena is sure they had a moment, but it still doesn&#8217;t mean she wants back in the relationship. Marlena doesn&#8217;t think she should be, until Xander has learned to deal with his anger issues because until then, any relationship he has will end up right back in the same place.<\/p>\n<p>Brady questions why Rachel would say Kristen would be okay with Sarah staying. Rachel doesn&#8217;t think Kristen likes Sarah very much. Brady says that&#8217;s not okay while Rachel apologizes to Sarah for hurting her feelings. Sarah tells her not to worry about it. Rachel then gets a text from a friend wanting to catch up, so Brady sends her to another booth to call her. Brady apologizes to Sarah for Rachel talking about Kristen like that. Sarah promises it&#8217;s okay and she gets it as there&#8217;s no surprise that Kristen doesn&#8217;t like her or anyone involved with Brady. Brady points out that when Sarah walked in, he noticed a vibe and bit of awkwardness, guessing he didn&#8217;t imagine that.<\/p>\n<p>Javi questions saying Leo&#8217;s name in his sleep and assumes it&#8217;s because he&#8217;s worried about him traveling on his own to Alamainia to rescue Gwen from Dimitri, who is obviously a really bad guy. Gus asks if he thinks Dimitri is going to kill Leo. Javi admits that he does.<\/p>\n<p>Gwen argues that Dimitri wouldn&#8217;t dare eliminate her because he&#8217;s having far too much fun on his power trip, watching her suffer. Dimitri admits that and says after all the suffering he had to endure at her hands and exhausting every legal effort, he finally realized he could turn it around and take justice in his own hands. Dimitri adds that if anyone tries to rescue Gwen, they have no legal right. The doorbell then rings, so Dimitri asks who that could be.<\/p>\n<p>Javi tells Gus that he doesn&#8217;t know why Dimitri lured Leo to Alamainia, but he knows Dimitri is trouble which is why he&#8217;s worried. Gus reminds Javi that Rafe said he&#8217;s going to make sure Leo is okay and nothing bad happens to him. Javi then declares that he knows, but he wants to go with Rafe.<\/p>\n<p>Leo arrives and embraces Gwen, saying he&#8217;s there to rescue her. Dimitri guesses Leo found the place with no problem. Gwen questions what is going on and how Leo knew she was here. Dimitri responds that he sent out the call and Leo answered.<\/p>\n<p>Xander tells Marlena that he&#8217;s done everything she&#8217;s asked for months, including getting in touch with his feelings and the roots of his anger, so he believes he can be right for Sarah again. Xander feels Marlena has to admit that he&#8217;s made a lot of progress. Marlena admits she is very proud of how far he&#8217;s come, but he has to also look at it from Sarah&#8217;s perspective.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah tells Brady that nothing is wrong, but they are getting in to a new phase in their relationship where Rachel is home and needs to be his first priority, adding that there&#8217;s also Kristen. Brady acknowledges that Kristen will always be in his life because she&#8217;s Rachel&#8217;s mother, just like Sarah shares a daughter with an ex. Brady calls those just complications but he always assumed they could work through them, unless she&#8217;s saying she doesn&#8217;t want to.<\/p>\n<p>Gus questions Javi wanting to go to Alamainia. Javi knows it sounds crazy, but he&#8217;s not good at being thousands of miles away and pacing as he feels like he has to do something. Gus says as paramedics, it&#8217;s in their nature to take action and not let other people do the job. Gus calls that one of the reasons he dropped his life in Texas and moved here to be with him. Gus tells Javi that he understands and cares about him a lot as they kiss. Gus states that Javi means a lot to him and admits he doesn&#8217;t like the idea of them being apart, so he&#8217;d be the one pacing the floors if he left.<\/p>\n<p>Leo makes sure Gwen is not hurt then says he knows she can&#8217;t be okay. Dimitri assures he&#8217;s been the most gracious host. Gwen complains that he kidnapped her in broad daylight and held her against her will. Dimitri tells her that she should be thrilled that Leo is here to rescue her. Leo talks about still recovering from a concussion, but says he&#8217;s so relieved to see Gwen. Gwen questions what Leo was thinking coming here with the flight risk of his concussion. Leo calls Gwen his best friend in the entire world and someone who really gets him. Leo says he was worried about her, so he needed to see for himself that she was okay. Dimitri asks if Leo needed to see if he was okay too and if he missed him.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah tells Brady that he knows how she feels about him. Brady then gets a text from Kristen, saying she&#8217;s not coming home as she needs to go away and it&#8217;s something very important she needs to do. Sarah questions where Kristen is going and what could be more important than her daughter. Brady says that&#8217;s exactly what he&#8217;d like to know.<\/p>\n<p>Xander questions what Marlena means by he needs to see things from Sarah&#8217;s perspective. Marlena brings up that when Sarah lied about Philip&#8217;s forged letter, Xander couldn&#8217;t forgive her and they can&#8217;t just sweep that under the rug. Xander says he&#8217;s not angry about that anymore. Marlena says anger doesn&#8217;t work like that and he has to confront and deal with it. Marlena then brings up Sarah&#8217;s anger as she was very upset when he assaulted Philip. Marlena adds that they went to counseling and decided they couldn&#8217;t reconcile. Xander repeats that Sarah almost kissed him and believes she would&#8217;ve if Philip didn&#8217;t interrupt. Marlena points out that he thinks that, but he doesn&#8217;t know. Marlena knows Xander wants to reconcile with Sarah and that there&#8217;s a physical attraction between them, but argues that it&#8217;s not enough to build a life on. Marlena then gets a text from Brady that he needs to see her now at the Pub as it&#8217;s an emergency. Marlena tells Xander that she has to cut their session a little bit short and quickly exits her office.<\/p>\n<p>Marlena joins Brady and Sarah at the Pub. Brady thanks her for coming so quickly. Marlena asks if it&#8217;s Rachel. Brady says she&#8217;s fine. Sarah says she will leave them to it and to let her know if she can help in any way as she exits. Marlena asks Brady what has happened. Brady informs her that it&#8217;s Kristen and shows him the text where Kristen said she had to go away. Brady hoped maybe she could figure out what&#8217;s going on.<\/p>\n<p>Gus reminds Javi how he felt when Leo ran off to Alamainia with Dimitri and how that was the final straw. Gus points out that Javi still worries about Leo so much that he&#8217;s willing to travel thousands of miles to make sure he&#8217;s okay and questions why that is. Javi responds that maybe it&#8217;s because he feels so lucky to have Gus and his family, but Leo has nobody. Gus says he gets that Javi loved Leo and went all the way to the altar, so just because the relationship didn&#8217;t work out doesn&#8217;t mean he stops caring. Javi calls Leo a good person and he doesn&#8217;t want to see him get hurt. Gus calls Javi a good person and says he trusts him. Gus adds that if something happened to Leo, he knows Javi would never forgive himself and it would come between them, so he&#8217;s okay with Javi going to Alamainia.<\/p>\n<p>Marlena agrees that Kristen&#8217;s text is puzzling as she doesn&#8217;t understand why Kristen would leave Rachel now. Marlena asks how she can help. Brady needs her to help figure a way to tell Rachel that her mother is gone, that they don&#8217;t know why, or when she&#8217;s coming home. Marlena agrees to do so, but thinks they should wait a little longer until they have a better idea of what&#8217;s going on. Marlena then asks if Brady is thinking what she&#8217;s thinking.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah runs in to Xander in the town square. Xander asks if everything is alright. Sarah feels they should probably talk about what happened between them last night. Xander claims he&#8217;s not sure what she means. Sarah reminds him of when they were locked in the wine cellar and she was so scared of the mouse. Xander says he was just glad he was there to protect her. Sarah starts to say she didn&#8217;t want him thinking, but then says nevermind. Xander asks if there&#8217;s anything else. Sarah says no and that they are good, so Xander says he has to get to work and walks off, leaving Sarah frustrated.<\/p>\n<p>Brady tells Marlena that he has been thinking that Kristen&#8217;s disappearance is tied in to the fact that she&#8217;s been frightened of EJ. Marlena recalls Kristen telling her at Bayview that if anything happened to her, she&#8217;d like her to keep an eye on Rachel. Brady knows interrogating EJ would just put him on high alert, so he thinks he should loop Steve in on this and hopes they find some answers.<\/p>\n<p>Gus tells Javi to go help Leo. Javi calls him the most understanding boyfriend ever and promises to be back as soon as he knows that Leo is okay. Gus tells him to be safe as Javi gets up to pack his bag.<\/p>\n<p>Leo tells Dimitri that he came to help Gwen. Dimitri says he understands and that he loves him so much because of his big heart. Dimitri says he&#8217;s sorry he had to go to such extremes to get Leo here but he didn&#8217;t see any other way. Leo questions how long Dimitri plans on keeping them there. Dimitri says however long it takes for Leo to realize they belong together.<\/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 Brady and Rachel have breakfast at the Brady Pub.
