Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers tease that danger could be headed Jake Lambert’s (Brandon Barash) way again. DOOL fans know Jake worked for a mob organization he referred to as “The Family” back in Philly – and he ended up getting on their bad side through that stolen edition of Crime and Punishment.
Jake eventually returned the book to Luka, the boss’ right-hand man, and insisted he wanted out. After Jake argued that he wanted nothing more to do with the organization, Luka delivered a veiled threat. “Yeah, I’ll pass that along,” Luka said back in June. “But you of all people should know…walking away isn’t always that easy.”
Afterward, Jake worried he might be in too deep to cut ties. There were more concerns after the explosion at Ben Weston (Robert Scott Wilson) and Ciara Brady Weston’s (Victoria Konefal) wedding.
Before Eve Donovan (Kassie DePaiva) was revealed as the culprit through her secret helper Vincent Belman (Michael Teh), Jake feared the explosion might’ve been meant for him.
In other words, Days has been keeping the threat of retaliation alive. Most people don’t just leave the mob without consequences, especially if they’ve betrayed them.
It’s surprising Jake hasn’t been targeted already. That’s particularly true since Luka made such an ominous comment. It just seems like this whole mob angle was put on hold rather than dropped entirely.
After all, DOOL fans never found out which family Jake worked for or who his boss was. Some mysteries were left dangling, but Days of Our Lives might pick them back up down the road. What if Jake was working for the Vitali family?
Ava Vitali (Tamara Braun) is a mob heiress – and we know she’s returning to Days. It’s possible Ava was Jake’s boss since it’d be a way to pull some interesting stories together.
The thugs working for this boss implied he was a man, but what do they know? They’re just underlings who may not have been told the real story. That may be what Ava wants everyone to think since it protects her cover even further.
No one would suspect a “dead” woman of running this organization if everyone was told a man was in charge. Ava may have also felt like this would instill more fear and ensure more respect. Women can be easily underestimated in authoritative roles, so perhaps this was all part of Ava’s master plan.
Regardless, Ava was from a mob family – and we still need to know which mob family Jake was connected to. It makes sense for Jake to have been working for the Vitali clan now that we know Ava’s coming back. If Ava is the one in charge, that’s even better!
Do you think Jake’s mob drama will heat up again? Was Jake working for the Vitali family – and was Ava his mysterious boss? We’ll provide updates as other Days news comes in.
