"Days Of Our Lives" soap recap

In the previous episode, Nicole wondered whether Philip has received any update from Chloe and if she’s given birth yet. Deimos suspected that Philip knows more than he's telling. Shortly after, Philip bumped into Nancy, who revealed that Chloe told her everything. Philip asked her to keep quiet about it and pulled her somewhere they could talk privately. They headed to the park, and Nancy expressed her worries that Chloe might have to raise the baby alone. Philip revealed that he has a plan, and admitted to Nancy that he’s in love with Chloe. Later, Philip went home and called Nancy. Deimos overheard Philip telling Nancy nobody will know he's gone. "I won't say a word to Nicole," Philip said.
