Wednesday on Days of Our Lives brings awkward encounters and simmering secrets. Xander Cook and Sarah Horton’s romantic dinner is interrupted by none other than Philip Kiriakis, creating the kind of cringeworthy moment soap operas are famous for. Kate Roberts questions Philip’s decision to move back into the Kiriakis mansion, understandably worried that his letter-forging scheme will be exposed.
Meanwhile, Shawn Brady lends a sympathetic ear to Jada as she vents about “Rafe.” A friendly dart game offers a welcome distraction from the romantic drama. But Belle Black finds herself facing a more complicated dilemma: her undeniable attraction to EJ DiMera. She’s torn between his occasional charm and his inherent shadiness.
Kate believes Philip’s return to the mansion is a recipe for disaster, and Sarah’s anxiety over the forged letter continues to grow. EJ, never one for tact, manages to offend Belle, leading her to douse him with a drink. Classic soap opera stuff. But the real drama unfolds when Belle and EJ find themselves in bed together. Again. EJ’s not subtle about wanting more than a casual fling, but Belle remains conflicted.
Days of Our Lives airs weekdays on Peacock.
