Days of Our Lives recap for the episode aired on Wednesday, April 16, 2025
Vivian turns Philip’s world upside down
Philip was finishing a tense call about Melinda’s firing when Maggie came home. She walked in just as Vivian showed up, fresh out of prison and full of demands. Vivian wanted breakfast, control over Philip, and money, plus interest, for a debt he owed her.
Philip tried to reason with her, warning she’d go back to jail if she exposed their secrets. But Vivian didn’t care. She left for the Salem Inn but made it clear she wasn’t done causing trouble.
Kristen pulls a gun on Xander
At DiMera Enterprises on Days of Our Lives, Kristen angrily confronted Xander for helping take her down. She pointed a gun at him and told him to call Mr. Shin to undo it.
But Xander stood firm and reminded her that her daughter Rachel was on the line. Kristen backed down, and Xander threw away her nameplate, kicking her out. Kristen left furious, promising payback and warning that both Philip and Xander would lose everything.
JJ accuses Gabi of shooting EJ
At the station on Days of Our Lives, JJ shocked Gabi by accusing her of shooting EJ. Gabi was furious, saying she had no reason to hurt him. But JJ listed her access to a gun, a weak alibi, and the chance to do it. He said he had stopped by her house that night, and no one was home.
Gabi changed her story, saying she went to the square. A flashback showed her with a gun near the DiMera house. JJ kept pressing, and Gabi snapped, accusing him of bias. She ended the conversation and told him to speak to her lawyer.
Sami and Kate debate possible suspects
At the pub on Days of Our Lives, Kate called Lucas and said he was safe since EJ was in a coma and that she hadn’t shot him. Sami arrived and mentioned she spent the night with Rafe, which surprised Kate, since he’s engaged. Sami brushed it off, but Kate thought it might matter.
They discussed the suspects, and Sami suggested Kristen, while Kate thought Rafe looked guilty. Things got tense when Kate brought up Johnny’s anger at EJ. Sami defended him, but started to worry.
Rafe and Jada’s relationship crumbles
Rafe confronted Jada at Small Bar after finding her blouse at Shawn’s place. Jada was shocked and explained she had just crashed there after drinking too much. But Rafe didn’t believe her, even as she begged him to trust her.
Then Rafe admitted he slept with Sami. Jada was heartbroken and called out the double standard. While Rafe wanted another chance, Jada walked out.
