"Days Of Our Lives" soap recap

In the previous episode, Chad went to the police station and talked to Rafe about Stefano’s purchase of an unregistered gun. Chad also shared what his dad said before – that if he plays his cards right, somebody would shoot him with the gun. Rafe was completely taken aback, realising that it supports his and Shawn’s theory. Later, Rafe headed off to the jail to inform her about Chad’s revelations. They agreed to file an appeal and hoped that she could be free soon. After Rafe left, Chad visited Hope and offered an olive branch to her. He apologised to her and said that he’s not angry at Hope for killing his dad.

Meanwhile, Deimos went to Salem Inn, where Philip was tied up and drugged. Deimos demanded answers from Philip, particularly on Chloe’s secret. Philip mentioned the word “embryo,” but he can’t finish a sentence – he’s too intoxicated. Deimos decided to increase the serum’s dosage. Later, Brady arrived and asked Deimos to stop drugging Philip. Upset, Brady untied Philip while Deimos explained his actions – he reckons Chloe is pregnant with Nicole’s baby.
