Tuesday, October 15, 2024: Today on Days of Our Lives, Fiona tries to plead her case, Jada investigates Brady’s claims, Johnny seethes with jealousy, and Alex and Stephanie don’t stay just friends for very long.
Johnny comes to Chanel’s hospital room, where she tells him she threw her back out. He flashes back to seeing Alex having sex with an unseen person in a hospital room. He stiffly asks how Chanel hurt her back. She tells him she bent down to tie her shoe, and her back went out. “Just like that, huh?” he deadpans. He again flashes to Alex having sex and starts to say something, but Alex enters to check on Chanel.
At the Pub, a flustered Stephanie tells Jada she had sex with Alex. Delighted, Jada eats up the details of them doing it on set in a hospital bed. Since Stephanie thought Alex just wanted to be friends, she doesn’t know what to think now. And they didn’t get a chance to talk afterward because she had to deal with the PR crisis of Hattie walking off set. Jada suggests this could be the start of something great for her and Alex. Stephanie worries it could ruin their friendship instead.
At the Kiriakis mansion, Xander stops Fiona before she can push Sarah down the stairs in her wheelchair. Xander demands to know why his mother is threatening to kill his wife. Sarah says Fiona doesn’t want anyone finding out she’s the one who put her in the chair. Xander growls and pushes Fiona away. Sarah tells him she remembered seeing Fiona in the driver’s seat. When Xander confronts her, Fiona weakly confirms she’s the one who hit Sarah.
At the hospital, Johnny bristles as Alex and Chanel talk about their delayed love scene. After Alex leaves, Chanel notes Johnny is acting off and asks what’s going on. He says it’s just been a long day. She says she’s getting jealousy vibes from him. What’s there to be jealous about, he asks. “It’s not like you and Alex are having sex, right?” She looks at him with confusion.
At the mansion, Xander says he might be able to feel something for Fiona if he hadn’t just walked in on her trying to murder the love of his life. She insists she wasn’t going to do it. She just panicked. She’s so ashamed of herself. He notes that’s when she usually cuts and runs. She stayed because she couldn’t bear to lose him. “You have lost me now,” he says. “For good. Forever.”
In Leo’s room, Marlena points out she’s already told Abe she doesn’t want to be part of the B&S production. Leo pleads until she concedes. He embraces her, but she makes clear it’s only for one scene. She gets a call from Eric, who wants her to come to the police station for some good news.
Alex and Stephanie bump into each other outside their apartments. He invites her into his place, where they awkwardly broach the elephant in the room. They make charged eye contact and inch toward each other as they talk about how they’ve always had an attraction, but that isn’t enough for a relationship. Clearly drawn to each other, they agree they don’t want to ruin their friendship. As they say a flirtatious goodnight, he pulls her into a passionate kiss.
At the DiMera mansion, Johnny settles Chanel into bed. She asks him to join her, but he says he has work to do. He goes downstairs and pours himself a drink. Falsely seething over Chanel having sex with Alex, he rages over feeling like a fool. He throws his glass, which smashes in the foyer.
