Days of Our Lives 2-Week Spoilers (February 9–20): Chad Says Goodbye, Kristen Cuts a Dangerous Deal, and Valentine’s Day Turns Dark

Days of Our Lives 2-Week Spoilers (February 9–20): Chad Says Goodbye, Kristen Cuts a Dangerous Deal, and Valentine’s Day Turns Dark

The next two weeks in Salem promise major turning points, emotional goodbyes, and dangerous decisions that could change lives forever. From Chad DiMera preparing to leave town to Kristen DiMera making a risky deal for her daughter, Days of Our Lives is packing February sweeps with high-stakes drama.

Here’s a full breakdown of what’s coming from February 9 through February 20.

Chad DiMera Prepares to Leave Salem

One of the biggest storylines unfolding is Chad DiMera’s exit. After taking Tony’s advice to step away, Chad seriously considers leaving Salem with his children, Thomas and Charlotte. This decision isn’t made lightly, and Chad opens up to Cat about his plans.

Valentine’s Day brings emotional complications when Chad and Cat share a moment in Horton Town Square. Spoiler photos show a kiss, though it may be a fantasy or emotional lapse rather than reality — especially since Chad once insisted on a strict “no-Cat clause” in his custody agreement with Jack and Jennifer.

As Chad says his goodbyes during the week of February 16–20, fans should brace themselves. Billy Flynn’s final episodes are approaching, with a new Chad set to debut in April.

The DiMera Family Lays Stefano to Rest — For Real This Time

The DiMeras come together for a final farewell to Stefano DiMera. EJ, Chad, Kristen, Tony, and Theo place Stefano’s ashes in the family crypt, symbolically putting the Phoenix to rest once and for all.

But peace never lasts long in Salem.

Rolf appears with Stefano’s final instruction: handing EJ the Phoenix ring. Once EJ slips it onto his finger, questions arise — will this spark a dangerous power trip and awaken the darkest parts of his legacy?

Kristen DiMera Makes a High-Stakes Deal

Kristen DiMera is under intense pressure as Brady, Belle, and Marlena confront her over Rachel’s mental health and treatment at Bayview. While Kristen wants her daughter released immediately, Brady and Marlena insist Rachel needs real help.

Desperate, Kristen proposes an enticing deal to Brady around Valentine’s Day — possibly offering joint custody. But nothing comes free with Kristen. She may demand Brady move out of the Kiriakis mansion, live independently with Rachel, and possibly even stop seeing Sarah.

Kristen’s deal could reshape multiple lives — or blow up spectacularly.

Valentine’s Day in Salem: Love, Regret, and Temptation

Valentine’s Day arrives with mixed emotions across Salem:

• Johnny and Chanel enjoy rare romance and happiness.

• EJ invites Cat to an intimate Valentine’s dinner — is it professional gratitude, or the beginning of something more?

• Julie, Marlena, and Maggie share bittersweet memories of lost loves.

• Xander and Sarah cross paths in an emotionally awkward encounter filled with nostalgia.

Not everyone finds romance comforting. Holly spirals after being drugged by Sophia, snapping at Tate and later clashing with her best friend Ari.

Xander and Gwen: A Rebound Waiting to Explode

Gwen and Xander heat things up quickly, starting with flirtation in the park and escalating into a steamy encounter at the mansion. Xander, believing Sarah has moved on, decides to do the same — but his rebound with Gwen is destined to be short-lived.

While Gwen may hope for more, Xander’s heart is clearly still elsewhere.

Dimitri Arrested — But Not Out of Trouble Yet

Dimitri is arrested for his alleged role in the DiMera kidnapping plot, despite insisting he was a victim himself — which, ironically, is true. Desperate for freedom, he scrambles for legal representation, though EJ and Justin are unlikely to help.

Melinda Trask may step in, given her complicated history with Dimitri. Meanwhile, Leo opens up to Marlena about his lingering feelings for Javi and the temptation Dimitri represents.

A Surprise Wedding and a Dangerous Stalker

Jada and Stephanie team up to surprise Alex — and the surprise appears to be a wedding. Stephanie, dressed in white, stands before an officiant as Alex slides a ring onto her finger. Whether this is real or symbolic, it raises the stakes dramatically.

Unfortunately, the joy may be short-lived. Stephanie’s stalker is preparing to strike, possibly abducting her from the hospital while Alex and Steve focus their attention on Jeremy instead.

More Trouble Brewing in Salem

Additional twists ahead include:

• Rafe reveals Gabby may inherit millions if Stefan’s divorce papers were forged

• Vivian’s role in Dimitri’s fate remains uncertain

• Sophia continues plotting revenge, targeting Holly, Tate, and Trey

• Cat struggles with feelings for both EJ and Chad

• EJ and Rolf prepare to reveal the mysterious woman in the tube — likely someone EJ deeply loves, possibly Lexie Carver

Paulina is brought to the lab — and her reaction is pure horror.

Final Thoughts

Over the next two weeks, Days of Our Lives balances emotional exits with dangerous new beginnings. Chad’s departure, Kristen’s manipulative deal-making, and the looming threat of a revived mystery woman signal that Salem is heading toward chaos.

Valentine’s Day may bring romance — but in Salem, love always comes with consequences.

And as always, no one ever truly escapes their past.
