Widows’ Valentine’s Day

Let’s start off with the widows of Salem. Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) is missing John Black (Drake Hogestyn). Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes) has lost Doug Williams (Bill Hayes). Also, Maggie Horton Kiriakis (Suzanne Rogers) is living life after Victor Kiriakis’ (John Aniston) death. 

As Valentine’s Day comes around, the widows will remember the past. One moment that will probably make this special is Eli Grant’s (Lamon Archey) surprise for Julie. 

Dimitri von Leuschner Trapped

Over with Dimitri von Leuschner (Peter Porte), he gets trapped. Fans know that Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) went to Gwen Rizczech von Leuschner (Emily O’Brien) for help. Leo needed a way to get rid of Dimitri before he loses Javi Hernandez (Al Calderon) forever. 

Then, we also have Gwen, who made a deal with Vivian Alamain (Louise Sorel). By midweek, expect Dimitri to beg for his freedom!

Rachel Black’s Custody

Days of Our Lives spoilers for the next episode reveal that Kristen wants Rachel out of Bayview right now. However, both the Bayview doctor and Brady disagree with that.

Even Marlena thinks that it would be too sudden for Rachel. As the week continues, Kristen will make a custody proposition to Brady. 

What Else to Expect

As for what else to expect, Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) and Jeremy Horton (Michael Roark) have a tense confrontation. Meanwhile, Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu) helps out Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein). 

Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) turns to Gwen for a favor. Later, Gwen notices a shift in EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel). However, that shift seems to come after EJ gets some kind of gift. Is EJ going to step into his father’s footsteps?

Also, Tony DiMera (Thaao Penghlis) makes a suggestion. This leads to Chad wondering if he should leave Salem.  

Meanwhile, Xander Cook Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) and Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) share a bittersweet moment. 

Elsewhere, Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) explodes! Does this have anything to do with Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd)? Despite the reconciliation, Sophia is going to make Holly suffer any way she can, so stay tuned!
