"Days Of Our Lives" soap recap

Previous “DOOL” episodes have shown that Ava knocked Kayla with a candlestick when Kayla went to her for a confrontation. Kayla was threatening to tell Steve the truth about why Ava and Joey are working together. Upon searching Kayla’s bag, Ava found out that Kayla was supposed to be in Washington. Ava sent a text message to Steve and Joey, pretending to be Kayla, and told the two men not to be worried if they don’t hear from her since she’s busy. Later on, Steve went to Ava’s house, where he argued with her for using his son, Joey.
