"Days Of Our Lives" soap recap

On Tuesday, Orpheus warned John that the pub would blow if anyone leaves or arrives. John called the bomb squad but they couldn’t come. Left without a choice, John decided to give Orpheus what he wants. John offered himself up, and in exchange, Orpheus would free everyone else. Orpheus agreed and shut off the bomb. He then ordered the women to tie John up. Meanwhile, Hope called Rafe and sought help. Rafe, in turn, asked for his dad’s help. When they called Hope back, she sent him a video feed of the bomb. Eduardo gave her instructions to diffuse the bomb and fortunately, it was successful.

Later, Orpheus took John into a building. The fugitive then told him his true agenda: to kill John. Orpheus revealed that he planted more than one bomb. Orpheus ordered him to go down on his knees and pointed a gun at him. However, before Orpheus could shoot, Steve arrived and aimed a gun at his head.
