"Days Of Our Lives" soap recap

On Wednesday, Kate dreamt of Deimos turning up at the Kiriakis mansion and teasing her, “Honey, I'm home.” Kate also thought of stabbing him with a letter opener. She had another couple of fantasies killing Deimos at the mansion, while the actual Deimos was hovering outside. Later, she went to the SPD and talked to Roman. She asked him if there’s any development on Deimos’ disappearance. He reassured her that they’re doing everything they can, but was suspicious about her line of questions. From the station, Kate headed back home. When she arrived, she heard someone playing the piano. She rushed to the living room and found Deimos in the flesh. She’s absolutely floored as he said, “Hello darling. Aren't you going to welcome me home?”
