Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers recap for Wednesday, December 30, reveal that Jennifer Deveraux (Cady McClain) was contemplating going to the DiMera New Year’s Eve party when Will Horton (Chandler Massey) stopped by the Horton house.
Will said that he heard what happened with Jack Deveraux (Matthew Ashford) and Kate DiMera (Lauren Koslow) and that he was sorry.
Will urged Jennifer to go to the New Year’s Eve party, and Jennifer admitted that a part of her was terrified to go and potentially give her marriage another go. Will thought that Jennifer owed it to herself to give it a try, and Jennifer gave that some thought.
Will headed over to the Kiriakis mansion, where Maggie Kiriakis (Suzanne Rogers) had just convinced Philip Kiriakis (Jay Kenneth Johnson) to go to the DiMera party alone.
Maggie was thrilled to see Will, and she urged him to catch up with Sonny Kiriakis (Freddie Smith) and spend New Year’s Eve together via video chat.
Will did just that, and Sonny appeared on Will’s tablet. Sonny and Will missed each other, but Will said he was coming home tomorrow. Sonny shared some prior years’ resolutions with Will, and he said that he’d share his 2021 resolution with Will a year from now.
Will and Sonny rang in the New Year together happily.
Over at Basic Black, Chloe Lane (Nadia Bjorlin) took Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) up on his offer to go to the DiMera party as friends, even though Chloe was a little worried about what Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) might think about the situation. Brady said that he thought that Kristen would understand.
At the DiMera mansion, Jack and Kate talked in the living room about Jennifer, and Jack relayed the story about getting Jennifer an hourglass for Christmas. Kate chided Jack on his gift, and Jack lamented that Jennifer would never forgive him. Kate and Jack decided to head over to the party together.
Up in Gwen Rizczech’s (Emily O’Brien) room, Gwen manipulated Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) by pretending to reluctantly divulge that she saw Jake DiMera (Brandon Barash) and Abigail DiMera (Marci Miller) kissing. “I’m going to kill him,” Chad fumed.
At the party locale, Jake admitted to Abigail that he and Kate were sleeping together, and just then Chloe and Brady walked up and gasped at Jake’s appearance.
A bit later, Jake asked Abigail to keep his affair with Kate a secret from Chad. Abigail flatly refused, and she set out to go find Chad to tell him. Jake went with Abigail, to tell Kate that the secret was about to get out.
Philip walked into the party and talked with Chloe while Brady was off getting sparkling ciders. Philip admitted that he and Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) weren’t really an item, and he was peeved to learn that Chloe came to the party with Brady.
Jack and Kate walked into the party and were toasting to the New Year when Jennifer walked in. Jack rushed over to Jennifer, who immediately said that she shouldn’t have come. “Please stay,” Jack urged.
Back at the DiMera mansion, Abigail and Jake arrived and searched for Chad and Kate. After no luck finding them, Jake went back to the party while Abigail stayed in her bedroom and wondered where Chad could be.
Back at the party, Chad and Gwen arrived looking for Abigail and Jake. Chloe and Brady said that Abigail and Jake had left the party together and Chad fumed. “Where could they have gone?” Chad said. Gwen looked askew, and then she said that she heard Abigail reserving a room at the Salem Inn earlier.
Meanwhile, Jack and Jennifer continued their conversation. Jennifer said that she wasn’t going to come to the party, but that Jack and the hourglass had changed her mind. “I don’t want to lose any more time with you,” Jennifer said. “Maybe this is a new beginning for us. I forgive you.” Jack was very grateful.
Over at the Salem Inn, Chad barged into the room that he thought Abigail had booked, with Gwen right behind him. Chad was astounded to see flower petals on the bed and champagne on ice, and he searched the bedroom, while Gwen silenced his phone as Abigail tried to call.
Chad popped open the champagne and started drinking, saying he’d wait for Jake and Abigail to show up. After a while, Chad was drunk and cranky, wondering where Abigail and Jake were. Chad sat on the bed and Gwen joined him. Gwen then leaned in for a kiss, as Abigail left another message for Chad.
Chad, now really drunk, looked fuzzily at Gwen as she apologized for kissing him. Chad then leaned in for a kiss, and he and Gwen began making out passionately on the bed.
Back at the party, Jake walked in and Kate followed him out onto the terrace. The countdown began, and fireworks exploded in the night sky as Jake and Kate kissed. Inside, Brady and Chloe kissed as friends while Philip watched in disgust, and Jack and Jennifer shared a romantic kiss.
