"Days Of Our Lives" soap recap

Thursday’s episode showed how Nicole revealed to Brady and Theresa about Victor’s offer to her – to seduce and marry Deimos then divorce him and take back Victor’s empire. Brady disagreed about the plan, and asked Nicole not to do it. Meanwhile, Hope was reviewing the file of Deimos when she got an anonymous call that urged her to question Deimos. Following the lead, Hope went to Deimos and asked how he knew Seth Malcolm. Hope confronted Deimos about Bo’s kidnapping and torture. Deimos admitted that he was involved with both, and that he did it for money. Hearing this, Hope pulled a gun but stopped short on shooting him. Nicole suddenly arrived, and Hope left, but not without threatening him that she’ll be back.
