"Days Of Our Lives" soap recap

In the previous episode, Chloe finally came clean, admitting that Nicole is Holly’s mother. When Nicole said she didn’t understand how that could happen, Chloe told her the whole story. Nicole turned emotional as she wrapped her head around this news, but later on managed to smile. She asked to hold her baby, but Chloe didn’t want to hand Holly over. A police officer appeared and took the baby, making Nicole freak out. She lashed out at Chloe, who insisted that she lied because of Deimos. A heated argument ensued between the two women, until Nicole was arrested for attempted murder.

At the square, Chad bumped into Gabi, who shared that Ari was having problems sleeping because of her nightmares. Ari cuddled up to Chad, who gamely offered her comfort and assurance. Chad told Gabi that they’re always welcome in his house, but Gabi recognised that he has his own family to look after. An awkward moment passed by before they parted ways.
