"Days Of Our Lives" soap recap

In the previous episode, Hope said she’s ready to get out of the prison infirmary, even though she’s still obviously suffering from her injuries. Hattie begged her to wait at least another day to heal properly. Hattie updated Hope about the other inmates who want to side with them against Coco (Lauren Leatherer) and Sheila (Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins). Meanwhile, Sheila and Coco discussed about their plans to murder Hope.

In Prague, Marlena, Steve, Paul and Rafe arrived and geared up to look for Stefano. The four split up and asked some people if they’ve sighted Stefano. They were able to get some information, but nothing too specific. Later, Marlena sees a familiar face in some dark alley – it turned out to be Anna (Leanne Hunley).
