(CBS – April 8, 2025)
In today’s exciting episode of Days of Our Lives, tensions are running high as Xander and Philip prepare to take revenge, stirring up chaos in Salem. The episode begins with Philip joining his mother, Kate, at the Brady Pub. He enthusiastically shares that Alex won’t be revealing the letter’s secret, a piece of news that gets Kate’s attention momentarily. However, she is more absorbed in a headline about who shot EJ DiMera, which Philip is unaware of due to being caught up in a late conference call.
Kate, while discussing the article, reveals that EJ is unlikely to cause trouble for her family anytime soon. Philip, though surprised, continues discussing the matter and points out how much Kate despised EJ, even joking about the possibility that she may have been involved in the shooting. Kate vehemently denies any involvement, explaining that she only wished for EJ to be out of the picture. The conversation touches on Kate’s past history with violent acts, including her shooting of Vivian, though she insists it was an accident.
Philip decides to take advantage of the chaos surrounding EJ’s shooting and informs Xander of the situation. Meanwhile, Kate, clearly still troubled by the events, fondly touches a gun hidden in her bag, muttering that EJ got what he deserved.
As the episode unfolds, Tate is seen sending a text to Holly, trying to talk to her following their recent troubles. Meanwhile, Sophia arrives to update Tate on EJ’s shooting. Tate expresses concern for Rachel, EJ’s daughter, who is living at the mansion. While Sophia reassures Tate that Rachel is unharmed, the news of EJ’s condition becomes a topic of discussion. Tate, focused on his relationship with Holly, is still reeling from their breakup and becomes even more unsettled when Sophia hints that she knows why it happened.
Back at the Kuryak mansion, tensions escalate further. Xander, visibly upset from a workout, shares his frustrations with Sarah, who is hiding a secret of her own about the affair between Philip and Stephanie. Sarah admits to Xander that she has known about the affair longer than she let on. She becomes emotional, seeking Xander’s forgiveness. Despite her secrecy, Xander reassures Sarah that he forgives her and that it doesn’t affect their relationship.
Elsewhere, the complicated love triangle between Alex, Stephanie, and Sarah continues to evolve. Stephanie tries to deflect the situation with humor, even while Alex and she struggle with their own emotional and moral dilemmas. Alex, conflicted over the truth, contemplates whether to reveal the affair to Xander, though Stephanie advises him against it.
As the episode ends, viewers are left on the edge of their seats, eagerly anticipating the next twist in this tangled web of secrets, lies, and revenge. The dynamic between Xander, Philip, Kate, and the rest of Salem continues to unravel, making for a thrilling continuation of Days of Our Lives.
