Kristen’s Wild Card, Rafe’s Nightmare, and Gabi’s Take-Down: A Full Episode Recap of Days of Our Lives
In this Days of Our Lives full episode recap, Kristen pulls a fast one, Rafe’s identity crisis takes center stage, and Gabi proves she’s the smartest Hernandez in the room. Meanwhile, Brady demands justice, and Jada is on a mission to uncover the truth. Let’s dive into the drama, shall we?
Kristen Pulls Her ‘Get Out of Jail Free’ Card
Kristen DiMera isn’t one to sit around and let the walls close in. When she storms into the DiMera mansion, demanding EJ pour her something stiff, it’s clear she’s got some plotting to do. With Ava back in the wild and her mother behind bars, Kristen is less than pleased. But she’s got bigger problems—namely, Rafe Hernandez, who is currently unconscious upstairs. Oh, and let’s not forget that Ava’s been singing like a canary to the cops.

EJ, in his usual smug way, tries to keep Kristen from running straight into danger, but does she listen? Of course not. She’s got an ace up her sleeve, and she’s heading straight for the police station to play her hand.
Rafe’s Identity Crisis Takes a Twisted Turn
Upstairs, poor Rafe is out cold while Rita checks his vitals. Once the serum does its magic, he’ll be back to normal—whatever that even means anymore. EJ saunters in, all confidence and questionable morals, making it clear that it’s time to deal with Arnold Feniger once and for all.
This whole debacle wasn’t even EJ’s idea (so he says), but since Arnold showed up and caused a mess, now EJ has to clean it up. And if that means making Arnold disappear, well… so be it. Meanwhile, Rafe remains blissfully unaware of his impending fate. Lucky him.
Brady Demands Justice—And Belle is Not Ready
Brady Black storms into Salem PD, hell-bent on getting justice for Ava’s kidnapping—and, more importantly, for Rachel Blake’s arrest. He wants Kristen behind bars, but Belle is dragging her feet. She insists that everything must be done “by the book,” much to Brady’s frustration.
Then, Brady drops a bombshell: EJ was in on Ava’s kidnapping. Belle, ever the reluctant believer, struggles to accept that her former lover is still playing dirty. But when Brady reminds her that EJ nearly freed Ava before Rachel intervened, the pieces start clicking into place.
Before Belle can process this revelation, Kristen waltzes in with her signature smirk, clearly ready to turn the tables.
Jada Smells a Rat—And It’s Not Just Arnold
Meanwhile, Jada and Stephanie are putting the puzzle together. If Arnold is alive, that means Rafe never cheated or abandoned Jada—so, um, awkward for her and Shawn, who just had a little moment.
Shawn emerges from the shower (as one does), only to be hit with the shocking revelation that Rafe might actually be alive and well somewhere. Of course, Shawn being Shawn, he needs some convincing. Jada, on the other hand, is spiraling as she realizes how deeply she’s been manipulated. And now, all she can think about is one thing: Where is the real Rafe?
Gabi Does What Gabi Does Best—Expose Fakes
Over at the Hernandez house, Gabi is not here for the nonsense. She walks in and immediately confronts “Rafe,” telling him to cut the act—because she knows exactly who he is.
Arnold tries to gaslight her, but Gabi shuts it down with precision. She runs through all the telltale signs that gave him away, from his weird behavior to the way he hugs (or, more accurately, doesn’t hug) his “sister.” When Arnold dares to grab her wrist to stop her from slapping him, she fires back with a classic Gabi move: she pulls a strand of his hair and walks off with a plan.
DNA, baby.
Belle Confronts EJ—and the Truth Starts to Crack
Over at the DiMera mansion, Belle barges into EJ’s room, ready to tear him apart. But of course, EJ plays dumb. Belle isn’t buying it for a second, demanding to know what Rachel Blake has on him.
EJ, ever the dramatist, smirks and gestures toward The Double by Dostoevsky—because if anyone loves a good doppelgänger drama, it’s the DiMeras. But Belle isn’t in the mood for literary references. She’s about to blow this whole thing wide open.
The Big Switch—Rafe Returns, Arnold Gets What’s Coming
Just as things are reaching a boiling point, Rita shows up at the Hernandez house, much to Arnold’s relief. He’s about to call EJ for backup, but Rita has other plans. She hands him an escape plan—passports, money, a burner phone, and… a taser.
One zap later, and Arnold is down for the count.
Meanwhile, at Salem PD, Kristen reminds Brady that if he pushes this issue, they’ll both lose Rachel forever. Brady, exhausted and running out of patience, stares at her, knowing she’s probably right.
And over at the hospital, Gabi is doing her part to end this madness once and for all—because when that DNA test comes back, Arnold won’t be able to fake his way out of this one.
Back at the Hernandez house, Rafe wakes up, groggy and confused, just in time for Jada and Shawn to burst in, demanding answers. But all Rafe can do is blink and mutter: Who’s Rafe?
What’s Next on Days of Our Lives?
Tomorrow, Jada and Shawn are ready to slap some cuffs on someone, Brady makes one last plea to Ava, and Gabi proves yet again that no one messes with her family and gets away with it. Stay tuned, Days fans—this is about to get even messier.
