Days of our Lives spoilers for Monday, October 20, send Sarah in EJ’s direction, and Steve and Brady wonder in which direction Sophia disappeared.

Key Takeaways

• Sarah yells at EJ like he’s Xander.
• Brady and Steve team up to search for Sophia.
• Tesoro’s prospective parents fret.

Next on DAYS

Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) is in therapy with Marlena (Deidre Hall) to learn how to avoid jumping to conclusions, trust Xander (Paul Telfer, who won the Daytime Emmy), and refrain from constantly berating him for being exactly the man she knew she had married.

But that’s Xander. Sarah doesn’t need to do the same with EJ (Dan Feuerriegel). He’s her new boss at the hospital, and she can yell at him about anything she wants. She’s got to take all that energy somewhere. And since everyone else blames EJ for everything, Sarah feels comfortable adding her name to the list.

EJ is a bad man! He wants to cut costs at the hospital! How dare he want to make it financially feasible to run, when they just go on spending money willy-nilly until they go bankrupt? And then they can yell at EJ for that. It really is the better plan.

Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

Amy (Shi Ne Nielson) blamed Tate (Leo Howard) and Holly (Ashley Puzemis) for Sophia (Rachel Boyd) running away from home. When they dropped some truths Amy didn’t want to hear about her daughter, she moved on to blaming Brady (Eric Martsolf). Even though Brady has every right to blame Sophia for what she put Tate through, he also knows what it’s like to have a missing child — Rachel (Alice Halsey) has done it to him multiple times.

So Brady volunteers to pull Steve (Stephen Nichols) in to help him look for Sophia. Luckily, they track her down to the exact spot where they are currently standing! Nobody likes new sets…

This Boy is Mine

Even though there is no way they would be allowed to adopt Tesoro in the real world, Leo (Greg Rikaart) and Javi (Al Calderon) continue to discuss it as if it were an option that was cruelly taken away from them. It’s not like they’re Chanel (Raven Bowens) and Johnny (Carson Boatman), who have people in high places pulling strings for them.

But even Chanel and Johnny aren’t fully confident they’ll get their way, as not everything seems to be falling into place for them. And neither neop-baby knows how to deal with that kind of cruelty.
