Salem was a whirlwind of drama, deceit, and heartbreak in Wednesday’s “Days of Our Lives” episode. A stolen Horton heirloom, a surprise grandson, and a painful marital split all added to the mix.
The episode kicked off with the shocking discovery of a missing Horton necklace, immediately casting suspicion on Steven Olson, given his less-than-stellar past. While Lucas and Ciara grilled Steven, he vehemently denied any involvement, leaving everyone wondering who the real culprit could be.
Meanwhile, Julie Williams experienced a heartwarming reunion with her newfound grandson, Doug Williams III, claiming to be the son of Douglas “Dougie” LeClaire/Charles. Julie, ever the welcoming matriarch, embraced Doug III with open arms, oblivious to the secrets he harbored. But the heartwarming family reunion took a dark turn when Doug III was revealed as the necklace thief. This begs the question: what other schemes does this newcomer have up his sleeve?
Adding to the drama, Shawn Brady, wrestling with guilt, made the difficult decision to end his marriage to Belle, despite their undeniable love for each other. Their emotional goodbye served as a stark reminder of the complicated nature of love and guilt in Salem. As if things weren’t messy enough, Leo Stark and Steven Olson formed an unlikely alliance, bonding over their shared history of dubious choices. This unexpected pairing leaves viewers wondering what trouble they might cook up together.
In other developments, Hope Brady showed signs of improvement, giving Shawn and Belle a glimmer of hope amidst their heartbreak. And in a moment of déjà vu, Steven mysteriously climbed through Julie’s window, offering a cryptic warning before disappearing into the night.
“Days of Our Lives” airs weekdays on Peacock.
