The Days of our Lives recap for the week of August 5th featured a long in coming deeming, more questions than answers for poor confounded Chad and Jack, and so much more.

Days of our Lives Recap

Monday, August 5th

Fiona (Serena Scott Thomas) and Xander (Paul Telfer) officially made peace and the latter invited the former to attend his nuptials. Fiona pushed Xander to take his rightful place at Titan…. Alex (Robert Scott Wilson) joined Brady (Eric Martsolf) at Small Bar and the two gentlemen commiserated; Brady managed to conceal the fact that he was well and truly off the wagon…. Alex offered Xander an olive branch in the form of Victor’s watch.

Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) comforted a grieving Stephanie (Abigail Klein)…. Chad (Billy Flynn) and Jack (Matthew Ashford) rouse and free a disoriented John (Drake Hogestyn) and the three quickly devise a plan to get one over on John’s kidnapper/jailer…. Marlena (Deidre Hall) was heartened to hear from her errant husband…. Brady and Fiona engaged in some afternoon delight.

Tuesday, August 6th

Alex and Stephanie readied to move back into their old apartments (the ones right across the hall from each other) but decided to forgo the work and head to the pub instead. The two regal one another with updates on recent goings on…. Jada (Elia Cantu) rued that she hadn’t rumbled that Bobby had superseded Everett.

Ava (Tamara Braun) warned Stefan (Brandon Barash) that Connie (Julie Dove) may know about their dalliance…. Johnny (Carson Boatman) paid Rafe (Galen Gering) a visit and reconnected with Gabi (Cherie Jimenez)…. Gabi caught Ava and Stefan in furtive conversation, but the duo managed to cover…. Connie delighted in feeling “Li” in on Ava and Stefan’s affair,

Wednesday, August 7th

Brady blanched when he realized that he and Fiona slept together the night previous, then proceeded to drag out all the skeletons in Xander’s closet…. Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) decreed that she and Xander would marry by the end of the day. Xander extended Fiona and her * ahem* “friend” invitations…. Maggie (Suzanne Rogers) presided over the wedding and declared Xander and Sarah “husband and wife.”

Hattie (Deidre Hall) and Bonnie (Judi Evans) reconnected. Hattie encouraged Bonnie to try out for the role of Cassandra Lovegood…. Leo (Greg Rikaart) failed at his audition for Lorna DeLorean but found himself in the running to assume the headwritership of the soap…. Brady ran smack dab into Tate (Leo Howard), out and about after having locked himself out of the cabin…. Having mistaken Hattie for Marlena, Leo invited her to watch the latest Drag Race; Hattie happily agreed.

Thursday, August 8th

Tate spun Brady quite the convincing yarn — including that he’d head back to the lacrosse camp. (In actual fact, he and Holly [Ashley Puzemis] made tracks to the Horton Cabin). Andrew (Colton Little) informed the father/son duo that Theresa (Emily O’Brien) had been sentenced to six months in Statesville and was being transferred forthwith.

John returned home to Marlena who insisted on accompanying him to the hospital for a full physical…. Chad and Jack made the acquaintance of a plastic surgery-altered amnesiac whom they believe to be Abigail. She agreed to join the men on their journey back to Salem.

Friday, August 9th

Stefan resolved to come clean to Gabi and his and Ava’s affair only to chicken out when the opportunity presented itself…. Connie made a most memorable impression on Jonny and Chanel after blasting them for their opinions on Everett…. Stephanie found Alex moving back into his old bachelor pad. The duo continued to bemoan their present…. Despite her multitude of misgivings, Jada closed Everett’s case file.
