Today’s episode of Days of Our Lives delivers major twists as Susan Banks drops a bombshell about EJ DiMera’s shooting, Xander Cook and Sarah Horton take a legal step in their separation, and Stephanie Johnson struggles with the fallout of her secret book. Meanwhile, Steve Johnson seeks guidance from Kayla Brady amid escalating tensions.
Susan’s Mysterious Warning Shakes EJ and Chad
Susan Banks stuns EJ DiMera and Chad DiMera by claiming she’s receiving messages from the spirit world—specifically from the late Stefano DiMera. She warns them of impending danger but provides no concrete details, leaving them uneasy. This follows her recent insistence that Johnny DiMera is innocent in EJ’s shooting, though she lacks evidence beyond her psychic intuition. Susan’s sudden influence raises questions about whether Salem’s residents will take her seriously or dismiss her as delusional.
Xander and Sarah Officially Separate Amid Custody Battle
Xander Cook and Sarah Horton move forward with a legal separation, formalizing their split as they navigate custody of their daughter, Victoria. The couple’s tumultuous history includes Xander’s violent past (including his assault on Philip Kiriakis) and Sarah’s struggles with mental health. Their decision to separate legally allows them to address these issues in court rather than through personal confrontations. However, old wounds threaten to reignite conflict, especially with Maggie Kiriakis caught in the middle.
Stephanie’s Anxiety Peaks as Her Secret Book Nears Release
Stephanie Johnson spirals as Titan Publishing prepares to release her steamy novel, written under a pseudonym. She fears exposure and judgment, while Alex Kiriakis pushes for the book’s launch to revive Titan’s fortunes. Stephanie’s stress is compounded by mysterious packages and workplace pressure. Meanwhile, her father, Steve Johnson, turns to Kayla Brady for advice on his own professional dilemmas, creating a parallel storyline of family support amid chaos.
Steve Seeks Kayla’s Counsel While Alex Tries to Reassure Stephanie
Steve Johnson confides in Kayla Brady about his career concerns, possibly tied to a new mission or worries over Stephanie’s well-being. Kayla’s steady guidance contrasts with Alex Kiriakis’ attempts to calm Stephanie, whose anxiety over her book’s release grows. The dynamic between the two couples highlights the show’s balance of personal and professional struggles.
