Days of our Lives Summer Spoilers: Stephanie Shoots Baby & Kristen Killed?

Days of Our Lives may have four possible deaths we may get in Salem this summer. Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) and Lexi Carver (Nikki Crawford) are on that list and possibly two babies, which is truly horrible. Plus, EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) is targeted, Dimitri Von Leuschner (Peter Porte) is back, and Sarah says, “I love you, but not to Xander.”

We’ve got the lowdown on what happens in Salem this summer. We took the big summer promo and made sense of it because it was choppy, out of order, and all over the place. But we fixed all that, but we have lots to cover. So, I’m going to be talking a little faster than usual.

EJ’s Ambitions and Lexi’s Illness on Days of Our Lives

So, first of all, EJ is determined to carry forward with Stefano DiMera’s (Joseph Mascolo) vision and preserve the empire that his dad built. And Lexi thinks the DiMera name could be something better. And Susan Banks (Stacy Haiduk) doesn’t like this at all and tells EJ he’s not Stefano and she’s not going to let him turn into that monster. Also, Lexi is soon sick. Scary symptoms start this week.

Plus, Mark found the dead rat that took the same serum. Later this week, Dr. Wilhelm Rolf (Richard Wharton) tells EJ about the rat. And once Lexi knows she’s sick, she’s going to rant that EJ never stopped to think what this would do to her. So, it looks like Lexi is going to get secret treatments from Rolf down in the tunnels because she walks out of the secret entrance. And Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) tells Lexi she doesn’t have to hide things.

Days Spoilers: EJ Fires Sarah

She claps back at Kristen that she wouldn’t have walked into the living room if she were hiding. Also, EJ is going to fire Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) after telling her she doesn’t need your help. So, maybe that’s about Chanel Dupree DiMera (Raven Bowens), but it may also be about Lexi since Rolf is taking care of EJ’s sister. We also see Lexi crying in Theo Carver‘s (Cameron Johnson) arms.

Also, Lexi winds up hospitalized again, and Abe Carver (James Reynolds) screams at EJ to get the hell out when he walks into the room to check on Lexi as Abe and Theo sit at her side on what may be her deathbed all over again. So, looks like that might be the end for her. We could get Lexi dying in Abe’s arms yet again.

Kristen’s Downfall and Gwen’s Betrayal on DOOL

We’ve also got Kristen in deep trouble this summer. EJ finds out that Kristen was plotting with Sophia and EJ screaming in Kristen’s face about her trying to murder his son. And then in a quick shot in the promo, we see Kristen getting kidnapped. She’s grabbed from behind by some henchmen.

No doubt EJ’s. We know Stacy Haiduk wrapped her run as Kristen and is over on Young and the Restless now. So, she might be dead. We also have disgruntled Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) telling EJ that he stabbed her in the back, so she’s returning his knife. He looks furious at Gwen. And I’m sure this is about her leaking dirty DiMera details to Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) to spread across the Spectator.

Days of our Lives Spoilers: EJ Loses It

Also, EJ is in near tears, screaming at a woman that everything he did, every decision, every sacrifice, he did it for family. There’s also some pills in his clutches and there’s some sort of tainted pill outbreak in Salem this summer that EJ may literally have a hand in. Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) is with Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) as he tells Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) that if the tainted drugs are still out there, this could be a public health crisis.

And Johnny says on a call to somebody that he doesn’t want to be involved with any of this. And he is though because he’s sneaking around in the dark in a doctor’s office up at the hospital looking around. Doesn’t look like Marlena Evans‘ (Diedre Hall) office. So, this may be about the tainted pill crisis.

Johnny tells Theo they have an opportunity to leave a different legacy for their kids than the one left for them. Looks like they’re going to be co-CEOs. But things take a turn as Johnny sits with an injured Theo at the hospital and he’s asking Johnny what other heinous things that he’s covering up.

Chanel’s Medical Crisis on DOOL

Chanel meets with her oncologist this week and it seems like she turns down the treatment. But then there’s a crisis when she goes into labor. She’s at the hospital with Paulina Price (Jackée Harry), Lani Price (Sal Stowers), Johnny, and Kayla Brady (Mary Beth Evans). Johnny says she’s bleeding and Kayla clears the room as Chanel says she’s scared.

Cat’s Investigation and Romance on Days of Our Lives

Cat Green (AnnaLynne McCord) is still investigating EJ this summer while also trying to get a dose of the serum to give her mom who has dementia. But with Lexi getting sick, EJ might have to tell Cat no. But at the same time, she’s plotting another con job on EJ and is setting him up, maybe with a honeypot trap. Cat goes to see Marlena for hypnosis, and she asks Cat if the connection between her and EJ is personal or professional. And Cat kisses EJ again this summer.

Chad And Belle’s Romance on Days

And speaking of smooches, Chad DiMera (Connor Floyd) is heating up with Belle Black (Martha Madison) and he gives her a proper kiss in the park after they go to a ball game. Also, the chess set mystery continues as other items are delivered to John Black‘s (Drake Hogestyn) family. And Chad tells Belle whoever Stephano got to drop these breadcrumbs is still out there on Days of our Lives. One clue is a little silver key.

And Chad says it’s better if we don’t spread the word. There’s somebody in front of a chessboard watching EJ, Chad, and a woman. It’s not Cat. Maybe Marlena, maybe Belle. It’s a lady in a pants suit. And he’s watching them via a surveillance camera on a tablet. Also, Chad finds out Cat’s keeping dark secrets and confronts her.

Chad’s frantic to Cat that she knew about all this and did nothing. And Cat tries to explain, saying there’s a reason she hasn’t told him everything. So, even if Jennifer Horton (Melissa Reeves) dropped her ban on Cat dating Chad, I doubt he’s going to want anything to do with her after this.

Titan’s Financial Trouble on Days of Our Lives

We’ve also got big trouble at Titan as Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) warns Xander Cook (Paul Telfer) and Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) that EJ found out they used DiMera money to make the loan payment. Philip says we’re going to lose everything and it looks like Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) is eavesdropping. Kate Roberts (Lauren Koslow) tells Xander and Philip they have to stand together or they go down.

This comes soon because Xander’s arm is still in a sling in this scene and it likely won’t be that way too much longer. There’s another scene of Philip ranting at Gabi about money, not buying forgiveness, but that happened this week already. Also, Roman Brady (Josh Taylor). Kyle Lowder is ranting at Kate about more lies and then walking off.

Sarah’s Love Triangle on Days

And we’ve got some triangle action. Brady tells Sarah he loves her and she says it back. Then they kiss in Horton Square, but Xander is telling Marlena he can see it in Sarah’s eyes and Marlena warns that he’s deluding himself that Sarah wants to get back with him. She doesn’t think so.

Also, Xander proves that he’s there for Sarah and he helps her when a patient collapses in the square. Also, in the promo, she’s telling Xander that she hopes they stop EJ in time, and he warns Sarah she does not want to be in EJ’s crosshairs, and that could come before EJ fires Sarah.

Rachel Learning About Sophia and Holly’s Crisis

Also, it looks like Brady and Kristen tell Rachel Black (Lorelie Olivia Mote) that Sophia’s dead, or Rachel hears on the Bayview grapevine, but she’s crying in Brady and Kristen’s arms, asking what if the doctors can’t heal her like they failed to heal Sophia. Looks like Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) has got a rough summer coming, even though Amy Choi (Shi Ne Nielson) couldn’t get Belle to press charges on her over Sophia’s alleged suicide.

We’ll see Holly telling Arianna Horton (Vico Escorcia) that it feels like no place in Salem is safe. And then up at the hospital with Sarah and Tate, we’re going to see Holly insisting, “Those pills aren’t mine.” Then Tate asks, “Can we just talk about this?” And Holly screams no and yells at Tate to get out as an alarmed Sarah watches. So, maybe Holly is taking pills again. Or maybe vengeful Amy is setting her up since the DA won’t hold her accountable and she blames Holly for Sophia’s death.

Stephanie’s Gun Tragedy on Days

And in what may be the most shocking moment of the summer promo, Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) and her fixation on that gun may prove tragic. We see Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu) telling her that she pulled a loaded gun and fired on an innocent person, which is bad enough, but this might be Stephanie killing her marriage.

Beacause Alex rushes into a hospital room and asks Joy Wesley (AlexAnn Hopkins), “Where’s Kelsey?” And Joy falls into Alex’s arms, crying and holding their daughter’s blanket near her empty baby carrier. So, did she show up with the baby to see Alex and Stephanie actually fired a gun at Alex’s baby mama who was holding their child. Did Stephanie shoot his kid?

Other Summer Moments on DOOL

Also, we’ve got some romantic sizzle as Eli Grant (Lamon Archey) surprises Lani with some afternoon delight at the Salem Inn. And Kayla tells Steve she’s grateful to have him. However, I will say this promo is way more dark drama and tragedy than it is hugs and kisses.

And in some more of that drama, Leo asks Dimitri in front of Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) and Gwen if he won’t make a deal with Rafe. Will Dimitri make one with him? So, we’ll see if this is DiMera related. I think it is. And that means Peter Porte is back on the scene by Summer. And if Leo is still single, we’ll see if they mingle.
