Days of Our Lives takes several dark and twisted turns next week, as teased in its latest promo. An abusive ex can’t seem to let go, a young father has a suspicious injury, and a mental patient escapes.

Plus, Leo appears to be backsliding to his former scheming self! Oh, Leo!

Heading for a Wedding… and a Funeral?

Alex and Stephanie got engaged, but unfortunately, she’s still got a stalker problem. In the tease of what’s coming, her ex, Jeremy, reads about her happy news in The Salem Spectator and seems to be filled with regret.

Sarah Gets Suspicious of Liam

Theo’s former childhood bully, Liam Selejko, ends up in the ER with his young son, and Sarah can’t help but notice something happened to Dad’s hand. He tries to shrug it off as nothing. However, we aren’t buying it, and neither should Sarah. We have a bad feeling about where this storyline might be headed…

Rachel Escapes… But Doesn’t Escape Ari’s Notice

In Bayview, Sophia tells Rachel about her plan — or at least the kid-friendly part, we imagine. She pays the girl to help her escape, then wanders through Salem in the trademark black hoodie we’ve seen a lot of lately.

Unfortunately for Sophia, her disguise game isn’t on point as Ari spots her!

Leo Wants What?

Finally, after his ex blew up his wedding night, Leo is desperate to get things back on track with Javi. He’s so desperate, he apparently blackmails Gwen into doing the unthinkable. As in?

He wants her to make Dimitri disappear again! Sorry, Leo, but we don’t see Dimitri going anywhere anytime soon!

Be sure to read the Days of Our Lives spoilers to find out what Holly asks Ari to do and what Brady and Tate discuss.
