"Days Of Our Lives" soap recap

In the previous episode, Steve told the others how he and Rafe captured Stefano (Joseph Mascolo), who had been quiet since he was caught. Some of the team wanted to talk to Stefano and Anna (Leann Hunley) went first. She showed Stefano the urn containing Tony’s (Thaoo Penghlis) ashes. Stefano just laughed but remained wordless. Sensing that she can’t get anything from him, Anna muttered that he’s going straight to hell.

When it was Marlena’s (Deidre Hall) turn to talk to him, Stefano looked surprised. She bragged about how their fortunes are turning around – Hope (Kristian Alfonso) will be home soon and Steve and Kayla will be tie the knot again. "And me, I'm going home to John, the great love of my life," she added. Marlena then gave him the queen from a chess set and told him, “Checkmate” before walking away. Rafe then went to visit Stefano at his jail cell, mocking the old man about Hope. Rafe reminded him that he lost the game, despite Stefano’s attempts to make it appear Hope killed him. Later, Steve also tried to see Stefano, but he’s gone missing.
