Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) will come home to check on Rachel Black (Lorelei Olivia Mote).

Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) will voice her concerns, while Joy Wesley (AlexAnn Hopkins) will take some time to flirt with Tate Black (Leo Howard).

Key Takeaways

• Kristen makes a deal with Sophia.
• Stephanie grows suspicious of Joy.
• Chad learns a shocking family secret.
• Joy sets her sights on Tate.
• Johnny could expose a major cover-up.

Kristen DiMera Makes a Deal

Kristen will find herself making a deal with Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) before returning home to Salem to check on her daughter.

Rachel has just been through emergency surgery and wants her mom. Of course, Sophia’s return will certainly shake things up for Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) and Tate.

Stephanie will almost catch Joy walking, even though she claims to be paralyzed.

Stephanie will share her concerns after Joy accuses her of breaking the custody agreement.

Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) will finally get the hint that Joy is playing him and will set a trap to catch her in the act.

Will Joy’s lie finally be exposed now that she’s feeling more confident?

Chad DiMera Confronts EJ DiMera

Chad DiMera (Connor Floyd) will confront EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) and learn that Dominic Marino is their brother.

In the meantime, Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) will put Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) on the spot and question her feelings for EJ.

Cat will end up going back to work for EJ, and the two will share a kiss.

Lani Grant (Sal Stowers) has been trying to figure out what to do with her life now that her parole is about to end.

Lani will be shocked when Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu) approaches her with an offer.

Chad and Belle Black (Martha Madison) will discuss the Dominic situation and agree that they need answers.

Joy Wesley Sets Her Sights on Tate Black

Tate will finally make it to his first session with Joy, and she’ll set her sights on him.

Of course, Tate is with Holly, who finds herself bonding with Mason Whitfield (Brandon Butler).

Tate will see these two together and won’t be happy about it.

Meanwhile, Kristen will sneak in to visit Rachel and assure her that her mother is there.

Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) will meet with Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) and Xander Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) and help them expose the truth about Coriseal and Sarah’s innocence.

Will Johnny tell Sarah that he broke into the computer system and changed important test results to protect DiMera Enterprises?

All of this and much more will happen this week, and you won’t want to miss a moment!

Annemarie’s Take

I think Joy is getting a little too comfortable with her lies, and I can’t wait for Alex to catch her! Pretending to be paralyzed is bad enough, but now she’s setting her sights on Tate, too? This woman really doesn’t know when to stop!

I’m also curious about Kristen’s deal with Sophia. Whenever Kristen makes a secret deal, you just know trouble isn’t far behind. And with Chad learning that Dominic is his brother, the DiMera family drama is only getting started!

What do you think? Will Alex finally expose Joy’s lies, and what kind of trouble will Kristen bring back to Salem? I’d love to hear your theories, so drop your thoughts in the comments below. Let’s talk about it!
