"Days Of Our Lives" soap recap

Followers of “DOOL” were left reeling on Monday’s suspenseful episode that focused on Abby’s act of insanity. While on the verge of a mental breakdown, she tried killing Ben by tying him up on the bed and setting it on fire. Chad arrived in the nick of time and put out the fire before it does any further damage. Abby screamed and asked Chad why he stopped her. "He needs to die," she said before running out. Chad followed her and tried to explain why he did it, but Abby said that if Ben kills her now, it would be Chad’s fault. Chad called JJ and requested for a squad car and an ambulance. Meanwhile, Ben freed himself and struggled to go downstairs. Chad punched him and a moment later, JJ and the paramedics arrived. Chad lied to the police, saying that Abby stabbed Ben and threw a kerosene lamp at his feet when he attacked her. The police and paramedics left with Ben. Once alone with her husband, Abigail lashed at Chad, saying that she'll never be free.
