Javi Hernandez Destroyed

Let’s start off with Javi and Leo. Even though Javi pushed his new husband away, it was to protect his own heart. The EMT needs to know that he won’t get betrayed or dumped later on.

At the same time, Leo has already made his decision. The journalist wants Javi, but Dimitri von Leuschner (Peter Porte) isn’t helping matters.

It’s true that Dimitri kissed his former flame, but Leo didn’t return the kiss. That little detail was conveniently left out of his story to Javi.

In fact, Dimitri outright exaggerated and made it sound like Leo couldn’t resist him! Then, Javi will get even more troubling news.

Leo Stark’s Desperate Deal

That eventually leads Leo to turn to Gwen for a big favor. The man asks his former BFF to make Dimitri disappear again. The journalist is desperate, but this kind of situation could go wrong in so many ways.

After all, Dimitri has already accused Gwen of being his kidnapper. So, if he disappears again, it won’t take long for the cops to start interrogating Gwen.

Johnny DiMera’s Hot Tip

Days of Our Lives spoilers for tomorrow’s episode reveal that Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) ends up getting a hot tip. This tip actually comes from Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman). So, we will see if the tip actually pans out to a real lead.

Cat Greene’s Break-In Attempt

At the hospital, Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) attempts a break-in. The woman is looking for information or evidence against EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel).

However, the keyword in the spoiler is “attempts.” So, it sounds like she could get busted or thwarted somehow. Maybe EJ comes back early?

Another possibility is that Rita Lesley (Maggie Carney) shows up right when Cat is about to get her big break!

Theo Carver’s Intel

As for Chanel, she will open up to Theo. The young woman is furious with Johnny over his reaction to the unexpected pregnancy. While Johnny is right to be concerned, Chanel is determined to have this baby no matter what.
