Jack mentions that he&#8217;s glad Steve was able to meet since he didn&#8217;t know what he was going to do with Jennifer still in Boston. Steve points out that Kayla&#8217;s off at a medical conference, so he&#8217;s kind of in bachelor mode as well. They then toast to having brother time. Arianna enters the Brady Pub and goes to see Kate at the bar. Kate asks if she forgot something for her dorm. Ari says that she came straight from her internship at DiMera because she needs to talk to her now.<\/p>\n<p>Chad works at the Salem Spectator office until EJ shows up. Chad asks if they have a meeting scheduled. EJ asks if he&#8217;s not allowed to pop in and say hello to his brother. Chad says not usually and asks what&#8217;s up. EJ wants Chad to tell him why he and Belle are jetting off to Italy.<\/p>\n<p>Belle is at home on the phone, talking about having her cases covered but says if anything comes up, she&#8217;s always reachable on her cell phone. Marlena brings her a sandwich as Belle talks about how busy she&#8217;s been making work arrangements. Belle says she&#8217;s trying to get everything covered before her and Chad leave tonight. Marlena says not to remind her.<\/p>\n<p>At the Kiriakis Mansion, Xander is packing up everything as he looks up to the portrait of Victor and tells him that everything he ever owned is now packed up in cheap cardboard boxes as Sarah walks in behind him.<\/p>\n<p>Steve tells Jack that his drive back to Boston will be a lot different than coming here with the kids. Jack jokes about not having to mediate between them. Steve envies Jack having grandkids and admits that he and Kayla are hoping to have their own real soon. Jack encourages that it&#8217;s going to happen. Steve guesses he&#8217;s sort of a grandparent now, but not in the way they expected. Jack can&#8217;t believe Joy showed up out of the blue with Alex&#8217;s baby. Steve doesn&#8217;t think Stephanie could believe it either. Steve says that Stephanie has been through so much this year and now Joy is refusing to let her spend time around the baby. Jack states that nothing hurts more than seeing your baby in pain and feeling helpless. Arianna sits with Kate and brings up Kate telling her to keep her ear to the ground at DiMera and she overheard a conversation between EJ and Johnny. Ari reveals to Kate that she heard EJ tell Johnny &#8220;there&#8217;s nothing to worry about, Holly doesn&#8217;t know anything about it&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah tells Xander that he can&#8217;t blame himself. Sarah says she was just helping Holly move in to the dorms, so she decided to stop by and see if he needed any help with anything. Xander thanks her but says he has it under control. Sarah tells Xander that she thinks Victor would be very proud of him for everything he did to try to save Titan. Holly then walks in and tells them that she just ran in to EJ and almost blurted out that she knows what he did, but she didn&#8217;t. Holly complains that it&#8217;s so hard to look at EJ and not let him have it, by letting him know that they are this close to proving he poisoned her and all those other people.<\/p>\n<p>Chad tells EJ that he and Belle are going to Italy to enjoy the sights, but EJ is not buying it. Chad calls it the #1 tourist attraction in the world but EJ corrects him that it&#8217;s France. EJ guesses that it has to do with the chess set that Stefano left and that he&#8217;s chasing down on a lead on it.<\/p>\n<p>Belle tells Marlena that she won&#8217;t remind her that she and Chad are leaving tonight on the DiMera Jet and landing in Rome tomorrow morning, but insists they will be fine. Marlena agrees to try to lighten up. Belle asks about the cut on Marlena&#8217;s hand. Marlena calls it a needle point accident and guesses she got distracted. Belle asks what she was distracted by. Marlena thinks back again to poking her finger on the Sleeping Beauty pillow that Stefano sent her 25 years ago, but just tells Belle that it&#8217;s a lot of things.<\/p>\n<p>Kate and Arianna wonder what EJ was talking about that Holly had no idea about. Kate thinks the best way to find out is to ask Holly.<\/p>\n<p>Chad tells EJ that he&#8217;s not going to do this with him today, but even if the chess board is the reason they are going to Italy, he questions why EJ cares so much. EJ says the chess board was part of Stefano&#8217;s last requests and now that he&#8217;s truly gone, he&#8217;s trying to find out who he really was. EJ then laughs it off and admits he&#8217;s just curious.<\/p>\n<p>Marlena knows Belle and Chad are going to chase down some clues in Italy, but she hopes they do have time to enjoy themselves while they are there. Marlena recalls when she and John were married in Italy and how John gave her a coin to make a wish at the fountain. Belle asks what she wished. Marlena says she wished their love would continue growing stronger and that they would always trust each other. Belle asks if that&#8217;s the coin she found at his grave. Marlena confirms it just appeared there.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah tells Holly that she&#8217;s so sorry she has to keep this secret. Xander adds that they&#8217;ve been trying to proof that EJ was behind it, but he&#8217;s been sidetracked by the loss of Titan. Sarah notes that having EJ&#8217;s name all over it while Holly remarks that he really gets around. Xander tells Holly not to worry about this. Sarah assures they are on the case and will make sure that EJ pays for what he did to her.<\/p>\n<p>Chad tells EJ that he&#8217;s not saying anything since Stefano left the chess set to Marlena, so it&#8217;s not his concern. EJ argues that the chess board is part of Stefano&#8217;s legacy, which means it concerns all of them. Jack then arrives and asks if he&#8217;s interrupting. EJ says he was just leaving and exits.<\/p>\n<p>Marlena tells Belle that she always keeps the coin with her as it helps her feel close to John, which is why she wants Belle to take it to Italy with her. Belle says absolutely not since it&#8217;s her coin. Marlena talks about it making her feel like John is always watching over her, so she wants Belle to take it so she knows he&#8217;s watching over her too. Marlena jokes with her not to throw it in the fountain. Belle promises she won&#8217;t and thanks her as they hug.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah complains to Xander that this shouldn&#8217;t be happening and that it&#8217;s no one&#8217;s fault but EJ&#8217;s. Sarah adds that EJ could&#8217;ve killed Holly. Xander agrees that they won&#8217;t let him get away with it. Sarah declares that EJ better stay away from Holy in the meantime.<\/p>\n<p>Arianna joins Holly in their dorm room. They talk about Holly listening to Ariana Grande as Holly asks Ari if her DiMera internship was another boring day. Ari says not exactly today.<\/p>\n<p>Jack apologizes for not calling first but Chad says it&#8217;s fine. Jack says he wanted to discuss this at the office instead of at Julie&#8217;s. Jack asks Chad about the status of the search for a new editor. Chad says it hasn&#8217;t felt like anyone is the right fit so far. Jack reveals he has a thought then.<\/p>\n<p>Arianna tells Holly that she overheard EJ saying in the office that he ran in to Holly, that she seemed upset, and that for a second he was worried she had figured it out but that she didn&#8217;t know anything. Ari asks if she has any idea what he could&#8217;ve been talking about. Holly claims that she&#8217;s not sure.<\/p>\n<p>EJ returns home to the DiMera Mansion where Sarah storms in and calls him a son of a bitch. EJ assumes this has something to do with the Kiriakis family losing their business and their home. Sarah calls him a heartless bastard. EJ guesses she came to read him the riot act. Sarah says she was going to give him hell about hurting her mother, Brady, and a whole host of people she cares about, but then she realized that she doesn&#8217;t have to because EJ is losing as much as the Kiriakis family. EJ asks how she figures that. Sarah points out that EJ is about to lose the hospital to Gwen. EJ tells her not to count her chickens just yet, but he understands why she thinks Gwen might take the hospital from him since she&#8217;s well aware of how Gwen can steal something or someone right from under your nose.<\/p>\n<p>Xander climbs up to remove Victor&#8217;s portrait from the wall of the Kiriakis Mansion.<\/p>\n<p>Marlena joins Steve at the Brady Pub and tells him about Belle and Chad going to Italy to chase a lead on Stefano&#8217;s chess set. Marlena tells him that a clue led them to the Verdi concert, where someone slipped a paper in Belle&#8217;s program, so they are apparently being fed clues in real time. Marlena adds that they know Stefano is dead and gone, but somebody is fulfilling his wishes. Marlena wants to hire Steve to find out who that is and what they want.<\/p>\n<p>Jack meets Kate in the town square. Kate says he was rather cryptic on the phone, so she asks what this is about. Jack tells her how sorry he is to hear about what happened at Titan. Jack says he&#8217;s not in position offer a loan, but it got him thinking about her history with the Spectator and what a damn good editor she is. Jack informs Kate that there&#8217;s an opening at the Spectator right now for an editorial position and asks if she&#8217;s interested.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah reminds EJ that she and Xander are divorced, so if he thinks bringing up his ancient history with Gwen is going to get under her skin, he would be dead wrong. EJ says he&#8217;s simply pointing out that she can&#8217;t blame everything on him, including the shipwreck of Titan. Sarah asks if he&#8217;s serious, arguing that he bought out Titan&#8217;s loan and then demanded they pay it in full. EJ argues that he wouldn&#8217;t have done that if they didn&#8217;t set up his son for a lawsuit and asks what Sarah would&#8217;ve done if someone did that to Victoria. Sarah agrees that she would want revenge against anyone who hurt her kid or anyone else she loves.<\/p>\n<p>Xander packs up Victor&#8217;s portrait as he gets a call from Holly. Holly tells Xander that she just talked to Ari, who said she overheard a conversation with EJ and Johnny today where EJ said he was worried about Holly being upset today but was relieved to find out it was just about the house and then he told Johnny that she knew nothing about it. Holly guesses it has to be about the Coriseal. Xander agrees and thanks Holly for calling as he really thinks they can use this. Holly asks him to not say anything to Arianna or say anything about where this came from as she doesn&#8217;t want Ari to get in any trouble. Xander assures her that Ari won&#8217;t be the one in trouble as he hangs up.<\/p>\n<p>Chad joins Belle in the town square. Chad talks about how excited Charlotte is for the father-daughter dance. Belle can&#8217;t wait to see all the videos when they get on the plane tonight. Belle adds that it will be her first time on the DiMera private jet, so she will be relishing every second and they will have to come up with a plan on what to do when they touch down in Italy. Chad agrees that they have no idea what they are looking for and asks if Belle is nervous. Belle admits that she is a little because of not knowing what they&#8217;re in for and also about them being there in Italy. Belle jokes about getting to know someone when you travel and they joke that they will discover their annoying habits and say they will find out together.<\/p>\n<p>Steve asks Marlena if Chad or Belle has any idea who is feeding them the clues. Marlena says they think it&#8217;s Dr. Rolf. Steve says that&#8217;s the obvious choice, but they don&#8217;t know who Stefano was in cahoots with before he died or who he might&#8217;ve asked to carry out his wishes. Marlena informs Steve that Chad and Belle are heading to Italy tonight on the DiMera jet. Steve says that&#8217;s good and thinks it&#8217;s a smart move since knowledge is power. Marlena admits she is concerned for them, but agrees that it is the right move.<\/p>\n<p>EJ tells Sarah that he&#8217;s glad they can agree on something. Sarah warns that he may have thought he got his payback on the Kiriakis family, but it doesn&#8217;t end here, as they are going to rise from the ashes. Sarah warns EJ that karma is coming for him and his days are numbered. EJ claims to have no idea what alleged misdeeds she&#8217;s talking about and asks if that&#8217;s all. Sarah says that&#8217;s all for now as she walks out of the mansion. EJ then calls Rita and tells her that he needs her to get on George to make sure he keeps the lid shut on the Coriseal situation because it appears Sarah hasn&#8217;t let it go yet.<\/p>\n<p>Kate questions Jack wanting to hire her as Metro Editor of the Spectator. Jack points out that she&#8217;s more than qualified with tons of experience and she gets along with Chad, so she&#8217;s the perfect candidate. Kate asks if Chad agrees. Jack admits he hasn&#8217;t mentioned it to Chad yet as he wanted to test the waters with her first. Kate agrees to think about it. Jack says he&#8217;d like to let Chad know sooner than later.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah returns to the Kiriakis Mansion where Xander notes that she looks flushed and asks if she&#8217;s alright. Sarah says she&#8217;s fine and just got really upset thinking about all the horrifying amoral things EJ has done and gotten away with. Sarah admits she couldn&#8217;t help herself so she went over there and gave EJ a piece of her mind. Xander asks if it made her feel better. Sarah says not really. Xander thinks he might have something to do the trick as he just got a very interesting phone call from Holly.<\/p>\n<p>EJ tells Rita that he knew Chad booked the jet, but he had no idea he and Belle were leaving tonight. EJ says he can only assume it&#8217;s about the chess set that Stefano left John and Marlena. EJ asks Rita to see what she can find out about that and says as always, he&#8217;s counting on her.<\/p>\n<p>Marlena tells Steve that she can&#8217;t stand that Stefano is still haunting them from beyond the grave, that Belle is insisting on following the clues, and that John isn&#8217;t there. Steve tells her that he&#8217;s sorry but he thinks Belle is doing exactly what John would&#8217;ve done.<\/p>\n<p>Chad and Belle go home and toast to an interesting trip ahead. There&#8217;s a knock on the door, so Belle opens the door to find a bottle of wine with a note revealing it&#8217;s from EJ.<\/p>\n<p>Xander tells Sarah that EJ was worried that Holly had figured it out, but was relieved when she hadn&#8217;t. Sarah feels that&#8217;s an admission of guilt. Xander declares now the only question is how to prove it.<\/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 Steve and Jack have drinks at the Brady Pub while talking about baseball season.
