Elia Cantu
On today’s Days of Our Lives recap:
Eric and Sloan’s Digs: Marlena arrives and discusses Jude’s christening with Eric. She doesn’t understand why they aren’t hosting the reception at the pub. Eric explains about Holly and Nicole, but Marlena can’t believe he accepted Nicole’s offer without discussing it with Sloan. Eric says Nicole and Holly are like family but Sloan isn’t thrilled with him. He does note Nicole and Sloan seemed to bond a bit earlier in the day. Marlena is surprised but is still worried about how his relationship with Nicole impacts his marriage.
Marlena and Eric head to the couch to discuss Brady’s role as Jude’s godparent. She thinks this is something he needed. Marlena says they’re all worried about Tate and Brady thinks Holly isn’t telling the truth. Eric thinks it’s possible Holly is withholding information. He says Holly was evasive the last time he spoke to her. With that, Marlena is ready to go, hugs Eric and exits.
DiMera Mansion – Living Room: Nicole is trying to communicate with a melancholy Holly. Nicole thinks she is sick but Holly says she’s upset because she knows Tate didn’t supply her the drugs. Nicole continues to support EJ in his decision to put a restraining order on Tate.
Nicole wants Holly to stop blaming herself and thinks it’s a coping mechanism to deal with trauma – which she learned from Marlena. She goes on to say she did wonder if Holly took the drugs herself and blamed herself for not being an attentive mother. Holly tells her not to blame herself. Nicole says she eventually realized there was no way Holly took drugs and someone did it to her. She thinks they should both stop blaming themselves. Holly promises to try. Nicole needs to do some shopping for the christening and exits. Holly immediately gets on her phone and looks up Tate’s halfway house.
Holly wonders what she could say to the folks at the halfway house to get them to let her talk to Tate. She calls and pretends to be Theresa. Holly says she’s tried to exonerate him but is worried about her mother. She thinks Nicole couldn’t take it if she knew she actually took the drugs herself (Tate should record their next phone call). Tate says he understands and says it’s better not to send Nicole reeling. Just then, Holly thinks she hears EJ and hangs up.
Halfway House: Tate is reading his own journal entries, per his therapist’s instructions. He quickly becomes frustrated and just wants to leave. He wonders why he even cares about Holly since she only dated him to get over Johnny. With that, he rips out the journal page and throws it across the room.
Tate hears someone say there’s a phone call for him. After trying to avoid his mother, Tate relents and exits his room. He picks up the phone and is surprised to find Holly on the other end. She apologizes for everything happening because of her. Tate pushes her to admit the truth and doesn’t understand why she’s keeping quiet.
Horton Square: Stephanie meets Everett as they’ve needed a conversation. She thinks they should hire a different PR firm for The Spectator so she and Everett don’t have to work together. Everett says he hired her to do a job and she shouldn’t be punished because of their personal situation. Stephanie wonders if he’s had a breakthrough in therapy. Everett says it’s opened up more questions as he now realizes he has no memory of his father.
Stephanie is stunned he just realized he didn’t remember his father. Everett says he remembered his mother in therapy but couldn’t even remember what his father looked like. She says she asked him once about his father but Everett zoned out on her and she left the subject alone. Marlena thinks they should try hypnotherapy as she thinks his memory was impacted by the traumatic brain injury. Stephanie thinks it’s a good idea but he’s worried about learning he engaged in such horrible acts. Stephanie still thinks the hypnotherapy could help bring him some peace and understanding. She promises to support him but can’t make any promises about the future of their relationship. With that, Everett makes his exit.

Stephanie can’t understand why Jada is speaking to her in this way. Jada side eyes her and Stephanie gets snarky. She guesses she’s not allowed to ask questions and apologizes for not being a detective. Jada counters saying she’s not a detective as she’s clearly never had a job where she had to do actual work. She goes on to make fun of Stephanie for sympathizing with the poor, victimized “sociopath.” Jada can’t take it anymore and exits.
Harris says he would never tell the prime suspect his memory of the crime scene. That being said, he will do everything in his power to clear Xander’s name.

Nicole thinks his confession was kind of lame and Eric says he just wanted to tell her how much their friendship means to him. With that, Eric breaks the tension, says he’ll see her tomorrow and exits.
