George says he needs to know why he met with Theo about DiMera Pharmaceuticals instead of Johnny. Johnny explains that Theo insisted and it was getting harder to cover why when his wife is going through chemo and he&#8217;s supposed to be on paternity leave and he didn&#8217;t want Theo getting suspicious. George reveals that it&#8217;s too late for that as Theo told him that he thinks Johnny is hiding something from him. George then asks what Johnny is going to do to get Theo to back the hell off.<\/p>\n<p>Xander is at the Brady Pub, on a phone call with a Titan employee, saying he doesn&#8217;t know what will happen to their job if DiMera takes over and they will just have to wait and see. Xander hangs up and looks on his phone at a photo of he and Victoria at the Daddy Daughter Dance. He then thinks back to overhearing Sarah tell Brady that she loves him and wants to be with him.<\/p>\n<p>Brady joins Steve at the Black Patch office. Steve says he&#8217;s glad he&#8217;s back because he has something to show him.<\/p>\n<p>At the hospital, Stephanie asks Kayla if Joy is out of surgery yet. Kayla confirms Joy just got back to her room and is in recovery. Stephanie asks if it went smoothly. Kayla responds that she&#8217;s sure Alex will give her an update since he&#8217;s in the room with Joy and Kelsey now. Stephanie says she has to run. Kayla questions her not waiting to see Alex. Stephanie doesn&#8217;t want to hear him tell her how happy Joy was to see him and Kelsey when she woke up and how she&#8217;s not able to be around Kelsey because she&#8217;s so dangerous. Stephanie remarks that she doesn&#8217;t think she can handle anything that Alex has to say right now.<\/p>\n<p>Joy wakes up in her hospital bed with Alex, Kelsey, and Sarah at her side. Joy asks Sarah how the surgery went. Sarah says there were no complications and it went great. Joy then tells them that she can&#8217;t feel her legs and questions why she can&#8217;t. Sarah calls it completely normal and that the anesthetic will wear off gradually. Joy apologizes for freaking out. Sarah says it&#8217;s understandable and encourages her to focus on resting and her daughter. Sarah says her shift is ending, so Kayla will be in to check on her soon. Joy asks if she will be able to go home soon and back to normal. Sarah says definitely as she exits. Joy guesses Alex must be happy about that too since he won&#8217;t be single dad anymore. Alex says he didn&#8217;t mind but he&#8217;s sure Kelsey will be happy to have her mom back. Joy calls Kelsey their little angel and says she needs both of them.<\/p>\n<p>Stephanie complains to Kayla that Alex caved and signed the custody agreement without even talking to her. Kayla tells her that she&#8217;s so sorry. Stephanie says she is too as she wonders if her and Alex aren&#8217;t meant to be.<\/p>\n<p>Steve and Brady talk about the evidence being left for Sarah to find out about arsenic in Holly getting sick and how they both felt EJ was behind it. Steve talks about watching the security footage and only looking for EJ. Steve brings up Arianna overhearing EJ telling Johnny that Holly didn&#8217;t know anything. Brady hopes he&#8217;s not saying it was Johnny. Steve says the picture is a little fuzzy but brings Brady over to take a look for himself.<\/p>\n<p>Johnny tells George that he&#8217;s sorry Theo gave him the third degree, but shutting him out of those meetings raises suspicion. Johnny adds that the Coriseal nightmare is finally over. George questions who says it&#8217;s over. Johnny thought the whole thing was put to bed, but George reveals that EJ has been getting nervous about it again. George tells Johnny that going forward, he will stay up with him in case something like this comes up again but Johnny says he can&#8217;t have that happening. George argues that Johnny is the CEO of DiMera and warns that the last thing he needs is Theo playing detective. George adds that Johnny is the one who should be tossing and turning at night, not him, because if any of this gets out, he&#8217;s not taking the fall.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah enters the Pub and greets Xander. Xander invites her to join him but Sarah says she&#8217;s just picking up takeout. Xander assumes she&#8217;s getting food for her and Brady. Xander adds that he thought they would be eating out to celebrate Sarah officially moving in. Sarah says Brady and Rachel already ate so he was just picking up food before she goes to pick up Victoria. They talk about it almost being Victoria&#8217;s bedtime. Sarah asks if Xander got all moved in to his apartment. Xander says almost and that he found one of her boxes of clothes, which Sarah says she can pick up whenever she drops off Victoria. Sarah sits with Xander and asks him if everything is okay. Xander insists that he&#8217;s fine and just really wishes things worked out differently for the company and their family. Sarah says she does too, more than anything. Xander decides he should go and hurries out of the Pub.<\/p>\n<p>Kayla questions Stephanie worrying that her and Alex aren&#8217;t meant to be. Kayla knows it&#8217;s been a hard year but points out that Joy agreed to re-evaluate in a year which she thinks is progress. Stephanie asks what if Joy still doesn&#8217;t want her anywhere near Kelsey in a year as she thinks Joy is just stringing her along because she&#8217;s a conniving schemer who will do anything to get what she wants.<\/p>\n<p>Joy tells Alex that he doesn&#8217;t have to stay and can go rest with Kelsey, but Alex says he doesn&#8217;t mind so Joy admits she would appreciate the company at least until she can feel her legs again.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah walks through the town square and sees Xander picking up flowers.<\/p>\n<p>Steve explains to Brady that it&#8217;s easy to miss but he ran the video through an AI enhancement filter where you can see the reflection in the window. Brady confirms that it&#8217;s Johnny.<\/p>\n<p>Johnny questions George saying he won&#8217;t take the fall for this when he&#8217;s the one who had the contaminated pills dumped and buried in a well where people drink from. George argues that wasn&#8217;t in his job description and a specialist should&#8217;ve been hired. George warns that if any of this gets out, they will be gunning for the man at the top and that man is Johnny.<\/p>\n<p>Brady can&#8217;t believe Johnny was actively involved in something so shameful. Steve points out that it only proves he was at the hospital. Brady points out the timestamp and how the 4th was Trey&#8217;s birthday. Brady doesn&#8217;t think there&#8217;s any way Johnny would have skipped out on his kid&#8217;s first birthday party to go get a prescription. Steve believes that if Johnny was involved, it was to save Holly&#8217;s life. Brady points out that it would be while helping EJ cover up a crime that killed a lot of people. Steve points out it&#8217;s all circumstantial while Brady says that when there&#8217;s this much smoke, there&#8217;s got to be fire.<\/p>\n<p>Johnny stops George and questions what he&#8217;s talking about since he wasn&#8217;t even at DiMera when all of this went down. George responds that the shareholders won&#8217;t care and all that will matter is that he&#8217;s the head of a company involved in an active coverup operation. Johnny complains that this cannot be happening. George tells Johnny that he&#8217;s going to let him sweat this out and warns him not to send Theo to meet with him again. George then exits the apartment and walks away as Xander is arriving at the door with flowers.<\/p>\n<p>Alex decides to go get Joy something to eat from the cafeteria, so he exits with Kelsey. Joy then turns on the TV where this time, she imagines her and Alex as a married couple on a 90s sitcom doing aerobics together when they find out she&#8217;s pregnant with another child and declares they are going to be the happiest family.<\/p>\n<p>Kayla tells Stephanie that she knows she doesn&#8217;t trust Joy, but what&#8217;s important is that she and Alex trust each other. Kayla points out that Alex is crazy about her and is trying to so hard to be a good dad to Kelsey and a good husband to Stephanie. Stephanie argues that Kelsey is his priority. Kayla doesn&#8217;t think she should look at it like that and that his devotion to his daughter shows what a good man he is. Kayla believes that when Joy can take care of Kelsey herself, Stephanie and Alex will have time together if she believes her marriage is worth fighting for. Alex then comes by with Kelsey. Steve arrives and greets them. Steve tells Kayla that he came to bring her some midnight snacks but didn&#8217;t expect the whole family to be there. Kayla suggests she and Steve take Kelsey for a walk so Alex and Stephanie can talk which they agree to. Alex tells Stephanie that he&#8217;s really sorry as he should&#8217;ve never signed the custody papers without talking to her first. Stephanie says she&#8217;s sorry too because she should&#8217;ve been more understanding. Alex feels she&#8217;s been more than understanding, patient, and forgiving which shows him just how amazing of a person she is. Alex says the good news is that Joy&#8217;s surgery went really well, so there is light at the end of the tunnel. Alex promises Stephanie that they will make their way through this.<\/p>\n<p>Brady and Sarah go to the bedroom and talk about getting Victoria to sleep for the first time in her new home. Brady thinks she will be very happy there. Sarah says right now it feels right and she knows this is what&#8217;s best for them.<\/p>\n<p>Johnny answers the door and asks what brings Xander by. Xander says he thought he would pop by and see Chanel and congratulate them on the new baby. Johnny thanks him and says Chanel is asleep, but he&#8217;ll make sure he gets the flowers. Johnny then hears Olivia on the baby monitor and starts to say he needs to go check on her but Xander encourages him to give it some time, explaining that it&#8217;s a weak whine and it&#8217;s normal for newborns to make such noises during their sleep. Olivia then quiets down so Johnny acknowledges that Xander was right and thanks him. Johnny points out that they adopted Trey when he was a few months old, so this is their first time with a newborn. Xander says it&#8217;s been awhile for him, but he remembers it all like yesterday with Rachel while he missed out on those early moments with Victoria which was his fault because Sarah didn&#8217;t trust him. Xander advises Johnny to be very mindful of the decisions he makes because the wrong ones could cost him very dearly. Johnny questions what he means by that. Xander says he didn&#8217;t mean to imply anything and just got swept up in his regrets. Johnny says it&#8217;s fine and he&#8217;s the one who owes Xander an apology for everything EJ has done. Johnny says he forgave Xander for the lawsuit but admits he was angry, so when EJ said he&#8217;d make Titan pay, he thought an eye for an eye sounded fair, but now after seeing how far EJ has taken it and they are losing their company and house, he&#8217;s sorry for everything his family has done to Xander&#8217;s family.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah is shocked when Brady tells her about Johnny leaving his son&#8217;s first birthday party and his wife&#8217;s side to cover up EJ&#8217;s tracks. Brady points out that the clue he left did pretty much save Holly&#8217;s life. Sarah says she is grateful for that while Brady acknowledges that a more direct response would&#8217;ve been more helpful. Sarah asks if he thinks they can get Johnny to admit to any of this. Brady says they haven&#8217;t been able to yet, so Sarah guesses they are at another dead end. Brady worries that with Johnny in deeper than they thought, he doesn&#8217;t think he&#8217;s going to crack. Brady says Johnny&#8217;s a smart kid and knows there&#8217;s too much at stake, but they do have another lead to pursue. Sarah is tired of spinning their wheels since they know EJ is behind this nightmare but can&#8217;t prove it. Brady says not unless they find an old bottle of Coriseal in someone&#8217;s medicine cabinet which Sarah calls not likely. Sarah declares that it&#8217;s time for plan B which means taking off the kid gloves and putting pressure on DiMera.<\/p>\n<p>Xander tells Johnny that it&#8217;s big of him to come clean like this and very courageous. Xander accepts his apology and wishes he could go back to undo all the plagiarism business along with so many other things. Johnny says there&#8217;s a lot he wishes he could go back and undo as well. Xander advises Johnny to hold onto Chanel and the kids above all else. Johnny assures that he will as they are his life and his whole world.<\/p>\n<p>Steve returns to Stephanie at the hospital and says it looks like she and Alex were having a productive talk. Stephanie says he was apologizing for not consulting with her about the custody agreement and she apologized for reacting so badly. Steve calls it a positive step. Stephanie says he and Kayla are always trying to get her to see the bright side. Steve asks Stephanie for her darkest though. Stephanie responds that she keeps finding herself in situations that make her feel completely powerless and she doesn&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s because she is powerless or she&#8217;s choosing to be.<\/p>\n<p>Alex, Kelsey, and Kayla return to Joy. Kayla tests the feeling in Joy&#8217;s feet but she says she can&#8217;t feel anything. Kayla says it&#8217;s okay as everyone&#8217;s body reacts differently. Joy begins to panic that the surgery was a failure and that she&#8217;s paralyzed now while Kayla and Alex try to keep her calm.<\/p>\n<p>Brady agrees with Sarah that they have to take off the kid gloves. Brady hugs her and praises her inclination to always do the right thing which he calls a welcome change in his life. Sarah feels the same about being someone so grounded and dependable as they kiss.<\/p>\n<p>Johnny holds Olivia and says he wants her to be proud of her dad, so from now on, no more mistakes and the mistakes that he has made, he&#8217;s going to fix.<\/p>\n<p>Steve tells Stephanie that she is not powerless and brings up how much she has been through. Steve encourages that she is strong and a fighter. Stephanie says apparently to a fault since as a result of her fighting to take control of her life, Alex and Joy are hiring lawyers and signing contracts that affect her marriage and her life while she sits on the sidelines with no control over any of it. Steve argues that she can&#8217;t control what Joy or Alex do. Steve reminds Stephanie that she has the power to walk away from her marriage, but he doesn&#8217;t think that&#8217;s what she wants. Stephanie confirms it isn&#8217;t because she loves Alex with all her heart. Steve declares that she will stay and fight for her marriage then. Steve adds that it&#8217;s not something that&#8217;s happening to her, but a powerful choice that she is making. Stephanie thanks him and says she really needed to hear that. Steve hugs her as she cries.<\/p>\n<p>Kayla tells Joy that she&#8217;s a long way from being diagnosed with long term paralysis as she&#8217;s most likely going to subside on her own. Joy cries that this can&#8217;t be happening and that Kelsey needs her. Alex encourages that it&#8217;s going to be okay and that Kelsey is always going to have her no matter what. Alex says they both have him too and hugs Joy as she cries.<\/p>\n<p>Xander goes home and tearfully holds the box of Sarah&#8217;s clothes that got mixed in with his.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah and Brady kiss in bed and say I love you to each other.<\/p>\n<p>Xander turns out the lights and lays in bed alone.<\/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 George meets Johnny at home while Johnny questions this not being able to wait.
