"Days Of Our Lives" soap recap

On Wednesday, Clyde broke into the DiMera mansion and held a gun on Chad, claiming he’s there to take Ben’s son. Chad retorted that Ben doesn’t have a son. Chad looked around, appearing to wonder how Clyde was able to get in. Andre then showed up and said, “With a little help from his friend.” An argument ensued between the two brothers. Clyde interrupted them, demanding to know where Thomas is. Andre left for a while, then returned with Adrienne and Lucas both tied up. Clyde threatened them to give him the baby or else they’ll die. Suddenly, a gunshot was heard. It appeared Andre shot Chad on the chest. Clyde blew his top, then heard a baby crying in a crib.

Meanwhile, Nicole had an encounter with Xander, who told her she'll be joining Daniel soon. She tried to negotiate with him, telling him she can arrange for a safe trip for him out of Salem. Nicole then called Deimos and let Xander talk to him. Xander asked for money in exchange of Nicole, who suddenly fainted. Deimos said Xander can meet Theresa at Pier 17, where a freighter is waiting to take him back to Greece. Xander said, "I wish I could see the look on Brady's face as he sees Theresa's cold, battered body." Later, Deimos arrived at the inn where Xander was keeping Nicole. Deimos gave him a passport and money for Greece, then offered to trade Nicole for Theresa. Nicole tried to escape and Deimos attacked her with chloroform.
