According to Soap Central, a brainwashed Chad attempts to charm his way into Belle's heart. In previous episodes, Chad’s brother Andre resorted to putting things on his own hands when Chad refused to cooperate about plans to save the family by using Belle. Andre brainwashed Chad in the basement of the DiMera mansion to make Chad pursue Belle and break up with Abigail.

Meanwhile, past episodes have shown how Philip has stirred up things in Titan when he returned to Salem. He wanted to make the serum created to cure Caroline’s disease available to the market as a supplement. He also thought Brady wasn’t aggressive enough in pushing the experimental drug. Brady retorted that he hasn’t done so because it was not approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Philip then tried to convince Victor about his plans. Victor turned down his idea, but Philip disobeyed him and acted on his own.

“Days Of Our Lives” airs daily at 1:00 p.m. on NBC and 8:00 p.m. on POP.
