In today’s episode, we follow a series of shocking events that will leave you on the edge of your seat. From Julie’s attempts to keep family secrets under wraps to Abigail’s struggle with her lost memories, the tension keeps rising. So grab a seat and get ready for a breakdown of what happened today in *Days of Our Lives*.
As Julie Thomas and Charlotte stroll through Horton Town Square, Julie drops a surprise hint that leaves Thomas curious. She tells him that his dad has something special planned for him, but keeps the details under wraps, piquing Thomas’s interest. Their innocent conversation takes a bizarre turn when Leo shows up. With his usual flair, Leo jokes about being the Tooth Fairy, prompting Thomas to ask for an advance on the $50 he expects to get for his loose tooth. Leo, being Leo, quickly shifts gears and brings up Thomas’s mother. In a classic Leo blunder, he accidentally mentions “good news” about Thomas’s mom, leaving Thomas confused—especially since his mom is dead.
Leo tries to recover, explaining that Thomas’s mom had “earned her angel wings” and was now a “Chief Guardian Angel.” He even doubles down on the fairy story, handing out money for the kids’ missing teeth. Julie, exasperated by the situation, quickly ushers the children away from Leo’s chaotic conversation.
Meanwhile, back at the Horton home, Chad and Abigail face a dilemma that could change their family forever. Abigail has been struggling with amnesia and isn’t ready to let her children know she’s back, fearing they won’t recognize her or that the truth might be too overwhelming for them. Chad, on the other hand, is eager to tell Thomas and Charlotte that their mother has returned, worried that someone else might break the news first. After a tense argument, Abigail insists that she’s not emotionally ready, even though Chad reminds her that seeing familiar faces could trigger more of her memories. But Abigail, still battling with the fear of disappointing her kids, pleads with Chad to give her more time.
Just as Chad reluctantly agrees to hold off on telling the children, he receives a text from Julie saying she’s already on her way home with them. Panic sets in, and moments later, the door swings open, revealing Julie, Thomas, and Charlotte. As they enter, Thomas immediately locks eyes with Abigail and asks, “Who are you?”
The awkward tension thickens as Abigail, caught off guard, tells Thomas she’s just a friend of his dad. Julie, sensing the unease, takes the kids into the kitchen, giving Chad and Abigail a moment to regroup. They discuss the potential fallout of what just happened and Abigail’s disappointment that the children didn’t trigger any of her memories.
Afterward, Abigail shares a new plan with Chad, one she hopes will help bring her memories back. She proposes they go to Paris, where they spent time together during their early days as a couple. Chad seems unsure but doesn’t outright reject the idea. Just then, Julie reenters the room and wastes no time in scolding Chad for lying to the children. Chad tries to explain that he and Abigail aren’t ready to tell the kids the truth just yet. Julie, ever the concerned matriarch, listens but remains skeptical, wondering what will happen if Abigail’s plan to restore her memories fails.
Abigail reassures Julie that if the trip doesn’t work, they’ll come clean to the children, no matter the consequences. As the conversation shifts, Chad hints that he’s willing to go along with Abigail’s plan, but Julie’s look of doubt suggests this road might not be as easy as they think.
Meanwhile, at the Brady Pub, Ava has her own problems to deal with. Roman, feeling guilty about recent events with Connie, apologizes to Ava and offers her some support. Ava, clearly struggling, admits she’s behind on her rent and confesses that she’s lost a better job she’d taken. Roman offers her the chance to come back and work at the pub, but Ava’s unsure about her future. As their conversation wraps up, Leo walks in, complaining about the chaos of life in Horton Town, adding his usual flair to the already tense atmosphere.
Leo, still feeling bad about his earlier slip-up with Chad’s kids, confides in Roman, admitting that lying—even when trying to do the right thing—rarely works out well. Roman agrees, reminding Leo that mistakes happen, but they can always be corrected. Leo, feeling guilty about having written off Hattie from the show without telling her, vows to handle the situation soon.
Elsewhere, Paulina is irritated when EJ arrives unannounced, bringing with him some rather unexpected news. EJ hands Paulina a statement from his brother Stefan, claiming that the baby switch scandal involving EJ is now resolved. Paulina, unimpressed, challenges EJ, wondering how he managed to pull this off. EJ, with a smirk, hints that he and Stefan have plenty of dirt on each other and won’t run out of blackmail material anytime soon. Paulina, clearly skeptical, warns EJ that his games could backfire.
Finally, Stefan and Gabi have an emotional confrontation in the hospital. Stefan announces that he’s filed for divorce, but Gabi’s reaction surprises him. Although they’ve hurt each other deeply, Gabi admits that when she thought she was about to die, she regretted not telling Stefan one last time how much she still loved him. However, their history of betrayal seems too much to overcome. As they exchange painful admissions, it becomes clear that their relationship is beyond repair.
With secrets, lies, and betrayals at every turn, this week on *Days of Our Lives* promises explosive developments that will leave lasting effects on the residents of Horton Town. Keep watching as more drama unfolds!
