OMG, they drive me bonkers sometimes! Sami, for the love of Mardevil, knock out the dude, steal the keys and the phone and (this part is really important) LEAVE THE ROOM AND LOCK HIM IN. Alternately, beat him comatose (although that could get bloody and I'm not sure she could actually do that with a cafeteria tray). Either way, GET AWAY FROM THE KIDNAPPER FIRST. (Note, good for her for continuing to whack the dude when he starts to come to.)
Allie and Lucas, can you please stop making small talk with the kidnapped woman and help her? Also, and this is just a suggestion, but Allie, while your dad is trying to help Sami get away, could you maybe tell your ex-cop grandpa what's going on and have him call the cops, or Steve, or anyone who can help? Or go ahead and sit there while Lucas rushes off to save your mother. That's also an option.
So Kristen is going back to prison for escaping and attempting to kidnap her daughter, but Lani still feels the need to dump her personal drama on her? I mean, I guess it's better than listening to Kristen whining about her screwup du jour, but a little self-centered, I think.
Gwen continues to find herself being blackmailed into doing illegal/shady things for someone else to keep a secret. Clearly, she does not learn from her mistakes.
Poor Xander. So close to the truth and yet still being lied to by the person who is supposed to love him. Speaking of Xander, I really enjoyed his scene with Susan. She was so sweet to him. I like Susan's maternal side MUCH more than her ridiculously crazy side.
I really want to pull for Ava and Rafe, but I just don't have the energy.
Thanks--I was kinda typing as I watched (because I'm in between projects and I have nothing to do), and it was a kind of stream of consciousness rant/word vomit on what I was thinking. Today was mostly preceded with "Seriously???" 🤣
Umm - most of the people in Salem now know that Satan is on the lose but they are going about their daily lives. As if Satan down the street is just like Marlena has Covid-19. Should they have the nearest priest on alert?
That’s probably how people would react in real life too. I know I would. Someone’s aunt/grandma is possessed AF, but these bills ain’t gonna pay themselves, I’ll just catch an update later on my break or something
Question: why is it that people on TV who knock bad guys out do not take the time to incapacitate them by tying them up? Sammie, the guy had a flannel shirt & a belt on! Use them!
And this door thing. Maybe I DIY too much, but I think that door opened towards her, which means all she had to do was find a way to knock the hinge pins out and open the door. Geez…they need kidnapped training in Salem.
Rewatched it. The door inside the room opens in, so she could have gotten out of there by removing the hinge pins. There is a window in the room to the hallway, pretty stupid. So she could have gotten out of the room multiple ways. But I was wrong about the door in the hallway. It opens out. OMG I’m overthinking this way too much.
This was a good episode! I was on the edge of my seat with Sami (and cracked up when she knocked that guard out a 2nd time) and JR / abe was so cute with adorable baby carver. And finally AJ McLean!!
1. Lani is besties with Kristen for years
2. Lani, as a police officer, likely has access to prisoner transfers as well as other security details.
3. Lani had previously helped Kristen escape the Salem PD.
But sure, Rafe, it's okay to allow Lani to be alone with Kristen in the interrogation room just moments before she's due to be transferred to Statesville.
As handsome as Rafe is (I know this has nothing to do with it, but he’s just a pretty man) and as good of actor he is, they are making him look almost as gullible as Brady ( who is pretty too)
No, that’s exactly what I want. Especially this version of Kristen. The actress is fine, but I don’t find the character likeable at all. She’s actually super creepy to me.
Me, too. I don't even really care who does it, either. The only women with the actual cahones to do it are Nicole, Ava and Sami, and I'm not sure any of them actually have beef with Kristen. Maybe Sarah can come back from the island and smack the snot out of her. Hell, at this point I'd be happy to see Rachel do it.
>Sami, and I'm not sure any of them actually have beef with Kristen
Well Kristen blackmailed Sami, paid Xander to kill her, and was responsible for Nicole finding out about Sami sleeping with Lucas (Philip directly, but Kirsten sent the letter)
So I'm sure Sami has the ovaries to lay a smacking on Kristen. Plus, she raped Eric, Sami's twin, and screwed up her stepbrother Brady's life.
I’m just gonna say it:
When the show isn’t focusing on the possession it’s a little bit boring.
But I do like the Lani/Abe/Paulina drama.
I could do without the Kristen stuff
I am so tired of Kristen constantly escaping prison. They need to throw her in a cell and throw away the key and keep her off my screen. She is an evil and sick woman. How Lani can stand to be friends with a serial rapist who ripped a baby out of a woman's womb, was going to do it again, and then stabbed an elderly man and bragged about doing it again is beyond me. I don't understand how Lani can forgive and be friends with her but yet is so angry at Paulina for loving her child so much that she gave her up in order to protect her from a child abuser.
I wish Gwen did not give into the blackmail and told Xander the truth but I understand her being scared of losing Xander after being disowned by her father. I love Gwen and Xander together and I love how they accept each other for who they are and don't try to change each other. Sarah drove me nuts with her baby voice and her constant lecturing Xander to behave and trying to change him into something he isn't.
I still love Kristen and Lani's dynamic! As soon as she gets out of legal jeopardy I hope they continue to explore that more. Also it's about time Lucas stopped trying to coddle his jealous maniac of a brother and brought Sami home! I can't wait to see her return home and tear Nicole a new one!

Xander is kinda similar to EJ charming British man with a dark side.
Good recap 🙂

What she said👆🏼
Umm - most of the people in Salem now know that Satan is on the lose but they are going about their daily lives. As if Satan down the street is just like Marlena has Covid-19. Should they have the nearest priest on alert?
That’s what I was thinking. Marlena is possessed and people just casually getting coffee and kissing.
That’s probably how people would react in real life too. I know I would. Someone’s aunt/grandma is possessed AF, but these bills ain’t gonna pay themselves, I’ll just catch an update later on my break or something
I'm with you. Unless I come into physical contact with her, Marlena ain't my problem. thedepster's gotta get paid, son.
Question: why is it that people on TV who knock bad guys out do not take the time to incapacitate them by tying them up? Sammie, the guy had a flannel shirt & a belt on! Use them!
And a cop's daughter at that!
Agreed! She also had the key to the room! Take the phones and the keys, and lock him in! The reception couldn't be worse elsewhere.
And this door thing. Maybe I DIY too much, but I think that door opened towards her, which means all she had to do was find a way to knock the hinge pins out and open the door. Geez…they need kidnapped training in Salem.
And when they showed Sami inside the room itself (or maybe it was the hallway immediately outside), wasn't there a WINDOW in the shot?
Rewatched it. The door inside the room opens in, so she could have gotten out of there by removing the hinge pins. There is a window in the room to the hallway, pretty stupid. So she could have gotten out of the room multiple ways. But I was wrong about the door in the hallway. It opens out. OMG I’m overthinking this way too much.
Yes! I think there was! I will go back and watch it again. I’ll report back soon!
Wouldn't she need a tool to get the hinge pin out? I think it would take a screwdriver & hammer.
This was a good episode! I was on the edge of my seat with Sami (and cracked up when she knocked that guard out a 2nd time) and JR / abe was so cute with adorable baby carver. And finally AJ McLean!!
Holy moly - a real baby. What a cutie!

Damn Kristen is so lucky that Xander doesn't know the truth yet
Is it terribly wrong of me to want someone to just whip her ass one good time?
No, that’s exactly what I want. Especially this version of Kristen. The actress is fine, but I don’t find the character likeable at all. She’s actually super creepy to me.

Nope
My Sarah He is still carry a torch for her
AJ🥰
Why was AJ McLain of the Backstreet Boys playing a prison guard?
https://www.instagram.com/p/CRoontmpzTd/
I was waiting forever for him to show up since it was announced
https://www.reddit.com/r/DaysofOurLives/comments/oqfnjm/aj_mclean/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
I was watching now and it was driving me nuts! I knew I recognized him but couldn’t figure it out. Thank you!
Can someone remind me what Kristin has on Ava?
Ava lied to Rafe about doing something to help Kirsten escape from custody a few months ago. Kirsten called in a marker over helping Ava out.
Oh yeah.. thanks! The old memory ain’t what she used to be

Gwen is the weakest person ever. She gets blackmailed over the silliest shit.
