Salem, the town where tranquility is as rare as a winning lottery ticket, is about to experience another round of dramatic upheavals. Tuesday’s episode of “Days of Our Lives” features a pregnant schemer, a returning convict facing the music, and a disturbing dream that hits a little too close to home.
Stephanie’s subconscious throws her a curveball in the form of a nightmare where a pregnant Joy attempts to sabotage her relationship with Alex. Ironically, the dream isn’t far off from reality, given Joy’s own clandestine pregnancy. Speaking of Joy, she turns to Philip for help, possibly hinting at an escape plan that could take her far from Salem’s ever-prying eyes.
Elsewhere in Salem, Steve and Marlena’s quest for answers about John Black leads them to Shane. While they receive a small piece of the puzzle, the full picture of John’s past remains elusive. And then there’s Theresa, freshly released from prison and immediately thrown into the fire. Both Xander, still fuming over her attempt to swipe his inheritance, and Alex, harboring his own grievances, are less than thrilled to see her back in town. Theresa, however, insists she’s turned over a new leaf. That new leaf may wither quickly when Shane delivers some awful news by phone, altering Theresa’s life by midweek.
Meanwhile, Roman and Kayla chat about Steve and Marlena’s fact-finding mission, a reminder that even amidst the chaos, family remains a central theme in Salem.
Days of Our Lives airs weekdays on Peacock.
