Days of Our Lives Recap: Doug's Loan Shark Snatches Holly and Arianna
On today's Days of Our Lives recap:
Horton Square: Tate tells Holly he's about to let Sophia know he's going with her and Arianna Grace to the lake party.
Sophia's Digs: Sophia reads the diary entry she wrote to her son about giving him up. Just then, Tate knocks on the door and Sophia panics. She jumps into bed and props pillows in front of her just as Tate enters. He notes her tension and says she simply wasn't expecting him to be back so soon. Tate says he plans on going to the lake for the day and Sophia rightfully surmises it's to be with Holly. He indicates Holly will be there along with Arianna Grace and most of their graduating class. She knows she's missed so many activities but has no desire to waddle around on the beach. Sophia gives her blessing and Tate says he can be back lickity split if she goes into labor. With that, he exits.
Sophia calls Melinda and tells her about Tate exiting to the lake. Their plan can go forward and Tate will never know what she did with their baby.
Hernandez House: Arianna Grace is getting ready to go to the lake as her mother questions her about all the things she packed… or didn't. Javi is holding the baby and gets tickled at Arianna's sarcastic tongue. Gabi brings Arianna Grace a huge bag of condoms so she can be prepared.
Arianna Grace asks Javi if the baby will be around when she returns. He sadly indicates the mother has fourteen days to change her mind before the baby is put up for adoption. Arianna notes just how attached Javi has become to the little guy.
Javi gets baby boy Choi down for a nap when Gabi says she needs to go to the office to deal with a problem. She hates working there but knows she is stuck for at least two years.
Brady Pub: Young Douglas is serving Leo breakfast. He takes a break and joins Leo at the table. Doug asks if Julie got her necklace back, but Leo says no. The necklace is there but the woman who brought it back has no intentions of giving it back.
Leo tells young Douglas a bit about Gwen. He says she can hold a grudge like anyone's business. Leo says the entire town has screwed over Gwen in one way or another and she's using the necklace for revenge. Leo asks about the loan sharks and Doug indicates he may have a solution.
Kiriakis Mansion: Sarah can't believe Xander took Victoria. She tells Maggie about her latest encounter with her husband. Maggie knows Xander's temper tantrum was absurd. Sarah tells her mother to get ready for the trip and she quickly makes her exit.
Holly walks in and Maggie hopes she has a wonderful time at the lake. Holly asks about Bermuda and hopes she has a wonderful time. She reads the room and asks her grandmother what's wrong. Maggie is evasive and goes back to asking about the lake trip. She wants to make sure her granddaughter will be responsible. Holly promises her overdose taught her a lesson and she promises to behave.
Titan/DiMera: Xander has Victoria in a crib in his office. He calls Melinda and says he has his daughter and wants to make certain he never has to part from her again. After hanging up, Sarah arrives on the scene.
Sarah and Xander go back and forth about what's best for Victoria. He still doesn't believe she was simply going on vacation with Maggie. Sarah wonders when her husband became a paranoid lunatic. He mentions their dinner the night before where he believes she was trying to butter him up only to rip the rug out from underneath him (Xander's paranoia is trying my patience). He says the days of her controlling him and his behavior are over (I am not annoyed by that statement).
Sarah admits Xander would have a strong case for full custody because she took off with Rachel. Xander thinks that's exactly why she could disappear with Victoria forever. Sarah says she wants to stay in town as she wants him in Victoria's life. She begs Xander to relent about the vacation, but his paranoia takes over. Xander says she's not only a liar but mentally unstable and lists off several times where Sarah seemed to have lost connection with the real world. With that, Xander wants to spend time alone with his daughter and asks her to hit the trail. Just then, Gabi enters and Sarah exits.
Horton Square: Young Douglas walks out of the Salem Inn (was he stealing back the necklace?). When he gets a call from the main loan shark goon. He says he doesn't have the money but wonders if he would be interested in a piece of jewelry which he will be able to get his hands on soon. Just then, Arianna Grace calls out and they chat briefly before she gets a notification her ride is there to head to the lake with Holly. They share a kiss before Holly arrives. The two head to the car as the main loan shark goon watches and follows.
Park: Holly and Arianna Grace are giggling when the loan shark goon stops them at gun point and walks them the other direction.
Days of Our Lives Recap: Jada Questions Chanel About EJ's Shooting
Endings
Gabi and Xander finish their business just as Victoria begins to cry. Gabi says she remembers that age when babies only want their mother.
Sarah tells Maggie she isn't going on the trip. Victoria is with Xander as she's had the baby the last few weeks. Sarah admits she's exhausted and Maggie wonders if there's anything Justin can do (Where is Justin?). Sarah called him on the way home and said legal action could end up backfiring. Sarah pushes Maggie to go on her trip but to no avail. Sarah breaks down in tears and Maggie takes her daughter in her arms.
Sophia sees Leo and Javi with her baby and approaches. She introduces herself saying she saw his picture in The Spectator and knows she took in the baby left at the firehouse. Sophia thanks them… for their service. Javi and Leo say they'll have him for two weeks until he is put up for adoption. Leo says the article has resulted in many calls to social services about adoption. They say it will be very difficult to give him up. Sophia can only imagine… She gets teary-eyed before making a quick exit.
Holly and Arianna Grace try to talk their way out of being kidnapped. While Arianna runs her mouth, Holly takes her ring off and drops it to the ground. The loan shark goon is having none of it and demands they stand up against the wall.
Tate texts Holly as he knows she and Arianna Grace should be there.
Young Douglas gets a call from loan shark goon who tells him to check his phone. He sees a picture of Arianna Grace and Holly. The goon warns him not to call the police. If he wants to see them again, he'll bring him the money or the necklace or both.

Nicole catches her up on Leslie's assault claim which Jacob made go away. Dani can't believe her prim and proper older sister laid hands on Leslie up in the middle of Orphey Gene's. Nicole isn't proud of her actions but Dani is thrilled and wishes she saw this side of her sister growing up. Nicole follows up saying she laid into Bill the night before but thinks she needs to focus her energy on Martin. She says she is meeting Tyrell and Samantha at the club later to give them some Grandma time. With that, the sisters hug. Tyrell and Samantha arrive and Nicole tells them how much Martin misses them. Nicole wants to make sure they feel supported in this unfortunate time. Samantha says she and Tyrell want to talk their dad into letting their pop move back home. Nicole says their parents have a lot to work through. Tyrell wonders if they have all the details. Kat and Chelsea's Place: The duo are discussing their upcoming launch. Kat is clearly beside herself, and Chelsea asks what's up. Kat says it's always Eva and is annoyed 'he' is always about her. Chelsea thinks she's talking about her father, but Kat says it's about Tomas. Kat tells her the story about finding Tomas in Eva's motel room the night before. She isn't sure what it means for her and Tomas. Chelsea thinks Eva isn't in her league and Kat agrees. With that, she calls Tomas. Tomas arrives just as Chelsea exits. He can't believe she called him over and says he didn't sleep with Eva. Kat wants to believe him but needs confirmation. Tomas says he likes Eva and doesn't think she's gotten a fair shake from her family. Kat goes IN on Eva and how she tried to blow up her family's life. She expected more from him and wants to know if he wants Eva more than her. Tomas says Eva is a friend and that's all it is. Tomas says he really doesn't understand Kat's feelings nor where he stands. Kat reminds him about the other night where he walked out when she wanted to sleep with him. She brings up Eva again and Tomas LIES saying he simply wonders if they are together because she likes him or doesn't want Eva to have him. Kat admits her anger got the best of her which keeps her from being honest about her feelings. She admits she is crazy about him but she will not be in a triangle with him and her sister. Tomas says Kat is the only person he wants (LIES!). She is taken by his words and they get all hot and heavy and finally seal the deal. Bill's Law Office: Tomas is outside Bill's door when Hayley approaches and asks if he's off the conference call. Just then, Bill emerges and says Tomas can take over. He greets Hayley and they go into the office. She tries to talk to him but he rushes off before she has a chance. Orphey Gene's: Naomi meets up with June and says how good she looks. June calls for the check as she is all kinds of anxious to leave. June pulls out some cash and pays for lunch. The waitress tries to look at June's picture but is brutally rebuffed. Naomi insists on paying the tip, but June thinks the server is unworthy (Also, what was that monopoly money June handed the waitress?). Naomi asks to take another look at the picture and says the kids are beautiful. She says she is curious about the phone number. Before she can answer, Hayley approaches and June hugs her and makes her exit. Hayley tells Naomi she is worried someone close to both of them may have committed a crime. She asks about Bill and wonders if he killed someone. Naomi thinks she should ask her husband about criminal activity. Hayley tells Naomi about his encounter with Nicole and how she took his head off. She begs Naomi to tell her if her husband is in trouble. Naomi thinks it's not her place to tell Hayley about her father. Hayley thinks her husband isn't a criminal. Naomi says her father is complicated and she has barely scratched the surface. With that, she exits. Jacob arrives and Naomi wants them to get to the bottom of the June issue. Dani's Digs: Pamela arrives to check in with Dani after Martin's presser. Dani avoids commenting and Pamela calls her on it. After a while, she leaves it alone. Dani admits Martin and Smitty are going through an issue but believes they will work it out. Pamela offers her support in anyway she can. Pamela says she has news and shares she's been taking meetings for their company about her. Two different fashion houses want to sign deals to have Dani be the lead model. She says she hasn't committed to anything but if Dani is on board their modeling agency is on the map! Dani can't believe these companies are offering so much money, but Pamela says she is drop dead gorgeous and the agencies want the woman she is now. Pamela reminds Dani she didn't quit modeling because she was too old. She quit because she put a man before her. Dani still isn't certain which is why Pamela called for backup. Just then, Andre walks in. Dani is stunned to see Pamela has set up an entire runway scene in the other room. Andre is ready to take pictures and tries to relax her. With that, Dani locks in and goes full on model. Dani returns and Pamela tells her to take a look at the pictures before making her exit. Andre says the camera loves her. Dani wonders if she should go forward. He doesn't want to make a decision for her but is all kinds of interested in getting all kinds of nekkid. Bill's Law Office: Hayley returns and tells Bill she's frustrated with his lack of transparency. She says she went to Naomi who directed her back to him. She wants to know why Nicole was so mad at him and wonders what's up with the murder insinuation from the night before. Bill says he has to keep details vague and says the 'murder' took place two years ago (LIES!). Hayley says she will shut down her questions because she loves him which is all that should matter. Previous Beyond The Gates Recap: Endings Tyrell tells Nicole details about what happened the last night with pop and dad, which is why he and Samantha think they are being left out. Nicole does her best to smooth the entire situation over without saying anything – which clearly doesn't satisfy her grandchildren. Bill informs Hayley that he can't always tell her the truth but would never commit murder. Hayley knows he is and will do whatever it takes to take care of her and their baby. Tomas kisses up Kat's shoulder in the afterglow of her virgin voyage. He is clearly trying to woo her to round two whilst she looks all kinds of regretful for round one.
