Days of Our Lives Recap: Carrie Comes Home
Days of Our Lives Recap: Carrie Comes Home originally appeared on Daytime Confidential. On today's Days of Our Lives recap: Titan/DiMera: Belle arrives to see Alex to investigate Philip's beating. Alex tries to avoid the topic because he's busy, but Belle says she will be brief. Belle asks about the Sepsis drug and Alex says he's been filled in and can't believe he would do something so stupid, yet again. He goes on to say he didn't know about the fraudulent letter until recently and thinks he could have stopped his cousin before he tried to steal the drug. Alex remembers seeing Philip eating dinner with Kevin Lambert. The next day he say Kevin having a hushed conversation with Steve and Shawn Douglas. Belle says none of this situation is his responsibility. Belle says she knows things the police don't about possible motives for Philip's beating. She suspects Alex knows similar information and straight up asks if he thinks Xander is guilty. He pleads the fifth. Belle says she is building a case and he's going to eventually answer questions from the police. If he knows anything, he may as well come clean. Alex says he saw Xander in the square yesterday coming from the direction of the Salem Inn. He was distracted and tense, made mention of a snag they hit in trying to purchase the hospital, and quickly leaves. Alex didn't say anything because Xander is family and owed some loyalty. He also notes Xander is innocent until proven guilty. Belle asks Alex to get Xander to call her and makes her exit. DiMera Mansion: EJ calls Brady to talk about his meeting with the hospital board when he learns about John. EJ presses about the board meeting but Brady hangs up. Kristen is listening in and asks her brother what happened to John. EJ tells Kristen that John was badly burned in an explosion. She asks for details and EJ indicates his chances aren't very good. Kristen can't believe John is in such danger and EJ awkwardly tries to comfort her. She apologizes for making things awkward as she remembers John as her first love. EJ says she was always willing to do anything to keep him, including passing him off as her child (I forgot about that!). Kristen says she wasn't in her right mind and was blinded by her feelings for John. EJ notes the creepy nature of transferring her feelings for the father to the son. Kristen shoots back about EJ sleeping with his ex-wife's sister as well as his dalliances with both Kate and Billie. He backs down and they think about how they came by their penchant for odd love interests honestly. EJ makes direct reference to Marlena as his queen of the night. University Hospital – John's Room: Marlena sits at John's bedside and discusses all the visitors he's had today. As she speaks, Carrie arrives (squeal!) and embraces Marlena. She thanks Carrie for coming and asks about Austin. Carrie says he stayed behind so Noah could walk at his high school graduation. Carrie breaks down and says how much she loves Marlena and John and once again they embrace. Carrie says she thought about John the entire flight over. She remembers when she and John thought Marlena was dead (the house exploded) and how it brought them so close (this was also when John was Roman). Flashback: Roman (John) tells young Carrie that Marlena is dead. In real-time, Carrie says she knows John is a hero but being a dad to her, Sami, Eric, Paul and Brady is his ultimate talent. Marlena says John has a soft spot for his girls. Carrie notes that includes Sami, despite all the grief she gave him over the years. She remembers the number of times John made her feel safe both as a little girl and an adult. Carrie says some folks don't even get one good father but she has two. Marlena recalls meeting five year old Carrie and what a spitfire she was. Carrie can't imagine the trouble she caused. Marlena says she always knew Carrie was Roman and Anna's daughter but she always felt like she was her daughter too, as well as John's. Carrie thanks her for always treating her like a daughter. Marlena says family is who sits in your heart and makes life worth living. With that, they both break down in tears and embrace. Flashback: John and Carrie decorate the Christmas tree. Carrie says it feels like Marlena is with them and they embrace. Carrie says their world was shattered when they thought Marlena was gone. She remembers how amazing John was during that time and how she told her school friends her father was superman and believes he still is. Just then, Carrie holds John's hands and he responds. Brady Pub: Roman arrives to find Johnny at a table. He asks about Philip and Roman says Kate is at the hospital speaking with his doctors. They switch over to John and Johnny recalls his visit with his grandfather the day before. Roman says Eric is on the way home and Johnny indicates Will is also heading home. Johnny mentions Allie can't fly because Henry has an ear infection. He notes his mother and Sydney are trying to get a flight out as they speak. Johnny mentions his name (John Roman) and doesn't think he's doing it justice. Roman takes a seat and says he needs to stop blaming himself for what happened with the adoption and notes they are now back together. Johnny says he will never let his wife down again. Johnny shifts topics and asks if he can grab some to go coffee for her. When he goes behind the bar, Johnny sees the lockbox with the gun is gone. Roman says he moved the lockbox because he didn't want folks asking questions. Johnny pushes and Roman says the gun disappeared the night of EJ's shooting. He remembers mentioning it to Johnny that same evening. Johnny wonders if he's being asked if he shot his father and vehemently denies it. With that, he storms out. University Hospital – Lobby: Paulina and Abe arrive and chat with Kate about both Philip and John. Paulina says she's working closely with Jada and apologizes Xander was let go. She says Belle is on the case and is determined to bring the culprit to justice. Paulina heads off to grab coffee and Abe asks Kate why she thinks Xander would try to kill his own brother. Kate thinks Xander is a vicious thug who doesn't want to share his birthright with his brother. Abe thinks she is holding back and pushes for more. Just then, Kate spies Philip's doctor and quickly makes her getaway. Paulina returns and asks what happened. DiMera Mansion – Living Room: Kristen brings Rachel in and says her Grandpa John is home but had an accident. She explains about the fire and how he is now in the hospital. Rachel says she doesn't feel well and says it's been that way since the tea party. Kristen thinks she's upset because her friends didn't come over. Rachel considers her mother's words and suddenly says, 'I heard a gunshot.' Kristen thinks she's talking about a dream but Rachel thinks she heard it in real life. University Hospital – John's Room: Abe walks in and embraces Carrie. Marlena thinks Abe should take a seat and visit with his friend. With that, Marlena and Carrie leave them alone. Abe takes a seat and says he's heard about all the folks who have Withbeen coming to see him. He thinks his partner has to stick around so as not to disappoint all his friends and family. As important as everyone is, the most important person is Marlena. Abe notes he was there for the origin of their love story. Flashback: John and Marlena are about to get married. He wonders why Abe never told him about how his beloved felt about her. Abe says he promised not to tell as it was during the time when he was getting married to Kristen who was actually Susan (look it up). John asks if Abe will do him the honor of, once again, being his best man. In real-time, Abe says he was so honored to have stood up for him and hopes, someday, his son (Theo) will marry his granddaughter (Claire-Bear) and they will be able to stand up for them together. He says they are family and always will be. University Hospital – Lobby: Marlena introduces Paulina to Carrie, who she recognizes as Roman's daughter. Carrie says Paulina's sister, Tamara, was always so kind to her. With that, Carrie heads off to grab coffee. Paulina wants Marlena to go change clothes, but she says she's staying and heads back to her beloved's room. Horton Square: Johnny runs into Belle and they chat about John. Belle says no one wants to be in a position where your father is dying and you haven't said what you need to say. Johnny picks up what she's laying down but says he's settled up with his father in every way he needs. Before he storms off, he advises Belle to stay the hell away from his father. Endings Carrie runs into Belle and the two embrace (I believe this is the first time Martha Madison and Christie Clark have shared scenes together). Belle asks about her dad and Carrie says he squeezed her hand. Further, Kayla says John's vital signs are improving and she just knows he is going to pull through. Marlena sits at John's bedside. Flashback: Marlena is asleep when the french doors to the balcony blow open. She hears John calling out for her and feels him all around her. She feels his essence exiting and screams for him not to go. In real-time, Marlena tells John not to ever leave her. EJ calls out for Johnny in Horton Square. Johnny heads the other direction when EJ loses his balance and hits the pavement. Johnny runs to his father as he tries to get up. Before he offers his father a hand, Johnny walks away. Kate joins Roman back at the pub and reports Philip is improving and will hopefully regain consciousness soon. She asks what's wrong and Roman tells her about his encounter with Johnny and their conversation about the lockbox and the gun. He's not certain he believes his grandson when he says he didn't shoot his father. Rachel tells Kristen the night of the shooting she woke up because she heard yelling. She came downstairs and saw Johnny, with a gun, fighting with EJ. Keep checking back for the latest Days of Our Lives recaps!

However, she doesn't really believe he's ill. Belle explains about Bo's condition and how Shawn Douglas was trying to get a dose of the Sepsis drug to help save his life. Belle says she is bound by client-attorney privilege but guesses he didn't want to incriminate Jada. She realizes this is all connected to the meth lab explosion. Belle doesn't provide any details but does say Shawn D was there. Belle shifts back to work and tells Jada she wants to nail the person who beat up Philip. Jada is on board and says she already spoke to Kate. Belle notes the Salem Inn is being cagey about the CCTV footage. She says she spoke to someone who saw Xander in the square at that time, but she would rather pull the hotel's footage. They shift to discussing EJ's shooting. Belle can't believe there's no update on Ava but notes she doesn't ever stay away from Salem for too long (Come home, Ava!). Jada says she no longer thinks Ava is the culprit. Belle agrees that Ava is dangerous but would never be this sloppy.

Further, he got what he deserved. Kristen apologizes for putting that awful thought in her head. Rachel says he sent her grandmother away. Kristen pushes for even more details and Rachel says she didn't see Johnny shoot her uncle. She got scared and ran upstairs. Rachel says she went back to sleep and doesn't remember hearing a gunshot. Kristen tells her daughter to keep her story to herself so they don't get Johnny in trouble. Rachel says she feels even worse than she did before. Horton Square: Chad rushes over and helps EJ off the ground. EJ says he tripped but Chad pushes for more details. EJ explains about Johnny and Chad says he's sorry for what's happening between the two. Just then, EJ flashes back to the gunshot and says he deserves everything he's getting. Chad offers to speak with Johnny but EJ thinks it won't do any good. Chad asks about the Sepsis drug and asks EJ if he had anything to do with the theft. EJ isn't thrilled with the accusation but swears on their father's name he had nothing to do with stealing the drugs. Further, he had nothing to do with beating up Philip. EJ says they have to band together as being distracted allowed Titan to swoop in and take over DiMera Enterprises. With that, EJ says Chad needs to vote for him at today's board meeting. He thinks the hospital will bring their family a new and better chapter. Chad says his brother can count on him. Kiriakis Mansion – Living Room: Julie arrives with EJ and Xander's proposals for buying University Hospital so they can review them. Julie stops and wonders about Victor's missing portrait. Maggie says Xander happened. Julie wrongfully assumes Xander tossed the portrait because it originated with Konstantin. Maggie says Xander's anger was directed with Victor and all the baggage that comes with being his son. Julie thinks his reaction is rich and had no right to steal the portrait. Julie can't believe when she hears Xander attacked Philip. Maggie says he didn't confess but also didn't deny it. Further, Sarah thinks their marriage is over. Julie feels sorry for Sarah, but Maggie says, if he is responsible, she doesn't want Xander anywhere near her family.

University Hospital – Lobby: Maggie and Julie arrive and speak with Kayla about the board meeting vote. Julie wishes there was another option, but Kayla says they are stuck with either EJ or Xander. Julie knows Tom Horton wouldn't stand for 'any of this crap.' Kayla says she has a plan, just as Xander walks up and asks about Sarah. Kayla says she can't discuss staff scheduling with outside parties. Before he can go off on her, Maggie says that all parties present know exactly who Xander is and what he's done. He stands down but says he won't be an outside party after he owns the hospital. Just then, EJ and Chad arrive saying not so fast. Maggie thanks Kayla and Julie for having her back and they say they are always in her corner. Julie asks Kayla about her aforementioned plan.

Belle thinks it's the nicest thing he's ever said about her father. Belle and EJ embrace when Brady arrives filled with piss and vinegar.

Endings Belle begs Brady not to cause a scene on this very day. Brady agrees they need to focus on their father. Maggie, Kayla and Julie return from voting and run into Chad.

He notes he checked in with Sydney who said their plane to Salem was grounded. Just then, Kayla arrives saying he needs to get to voting. EJ assumes Brady is going to vote for Xander. Just then, Xander arrives, and Kayla notes the voting is anonymous so no one can be intimidated nor retaliated against. With that, Kayla pulls Brady to the side and tells him the vote is tied and he is the deciding vote. Rachel returns to the exam room and tells her mother her exam with Sarah went quite well.
