Joy and Alex Argue Over Stephanie’s Future

Days of our Lives Jada and Shawn.
Everyone suspected that Stephanie (Abigail Klein) keeping a loaded weapon at home could only end badly, and that fear has now come true. Exhausted from travel and still shaken by the trauma of being kidnapped by Owen (Wes Ramsey), Stephanie heard Joy (AlexAnn Hopkins) entering her apartment with the key Alex (Robert Scott Wilson) had given her. Believing there was a threat, Stephanie fired at the person coming inside. Thankfully, even after all her training, she missed.
Joy has every reason to be furious. She can’t help wondering what might have happened if Kelsey had been there with her. Alex, however, is not eager to see the mother of his child press charges against his wife, so he tries to convince Joy that this was an isolated incident. After all, what are the chances something like this would happen again?
At the same time, Steve (Stephen Nichols) and Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) do their best to keep Stephanie steady. They understand that their daughter is responsible for what happened, but they also know the consequences could become extremely serious.
Cat Takes Her Risky Scheme Against EJ Even Further
Cat (AnnaLynne McCord) believes she can manipulate EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) by convincing him to give her medicine for her ill mother… medicine she plans to use as proof of his mysterious back-from-the-dead serum.
Cat and Rafe (Galen Gering) insist they don’t want the formula falling into the black market. Instead, they want to turn it over to the government so the formula can be duplicated properly. But, wait… wouldn’t that still create the same kind of dangerous access they claim they’re trying to stop? Honestly, this plan sounds like a disaster waiting to happen!
Jada and Shawn Finally Stop Pretending
Jada (Elia Cantu, who has announced she is leaving the show) and Shawn (Brandon Beemer) are clearly growing closer, while Belle (Martha Madison) heads out to a baseball game with Chad (Conner Floyd), Thomas (Alexander Elijah Bond), and Charlotte (Autumn Gendron). It may look like a simple friendly outing. Nothing serious. Nothing romantic. Or maybe fans should absolutely read between the lines.
