"Days Of Our Lives" soap recap

Previous episodes have shown that Ava came back to the town of Salem to wreak more havoc into Steve’s family. She showed Kayla the video of her sleeping with Steve, and provoked Kayla to hurt her physically. Ava ended up in the hospital, and told the police that Kayla is trying to kill her. The police did not believe her, and said that no one else would. Later, the hospital staff was disturbed when the fire alarm went off. Joey snuck into Ava’s room and told her how much he loathes her. Vowing to get rid of Ava, Joey turned off the monitors, reached for a pillow and began to smother her face with it.
