"Days Of Our Lives" soap recap

In the previous episode, Marlena (Deidre Hall) and Anna (Leanne Hunley) received the help of Carrie (Christie Clark) and Austin (Austin Peck) to bail them out. Carrie got into an argument with her mum, but in the end, Marlena and Anna were released from jail. Back in Salem, Chet (Jeffrey Markle) freed Hope (Kristian Alfonso) from the dumpster. She punched him, assuming that he kidnapped her. While Chet was explaining, Hope slipped, hit her head and lost consciousness. When Chet spotted blood, he panicked and ran away. Later, a man discovered Hope and took her.

Later, Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) called and informed Rafe (Galen Gering) and Steve (Stephen Nichols) that Hope escaped from prison. Rafe blamed Shawn (Brandon Beemer), but Ciara (Vivian Jovanni) defended his brother. Ciara told Rafe to focus on finding Stefano (Joseph Mascolo). Shawn vowed to search for Hope, despite Kayla’s advice.

Elsewhere, Deimos and Nicole had a romantic night out at the square. As the two danced, Deimos popped the question and she happily accepted. However, he realised that he forgot the engagement ring so they shopped for one at a nearby store.
