Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers recap for Friday, May 21, reveals that Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) became Dr. Clay Snyder’s (Michael Lowry) drug mule while Ben Weston (Robert Scott Wilson) and Claire Brady (Isabel) began to strip down.
As for vengeful Jan Spears (Heather Lindell), she grabbed her gun and put a dangerous plot in motion.
On Friday’s Days episode, Abigail DiMera (Marci Miller) explained to Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) that she’d already talked to the kids and told them that Mommy had to go be with her own mommy for a while.
Chad wondered how long Abigail would be gone, so Abigail admitted it couldn’t be long because of the kids.
However, Abigail did feel she needed to get away for a while. Chad pushed Abigail to look in his eyes and tell him what she saw, so she said that Chad loved her – and Abigail loved him, too.
After Abigail hugged and kissed Chad goodbye, she left Chad crying alone.
Jack Deveraux (Matthew Ashford) eventually called and found out Abigail had already headed out of town. He came over to see Chad soon after and insisted Gwen admitted she lied about Abigail pushing her down the stairs.
Jack hated that he didn’t get to tell Abigail the truth before she left Salem.
Chad acknowledged that Abigail didn’t push Gwen, but they did have a fight at the top of the staircase. He argued that Gwen knew Abigail was pregnant and still put the baby at risk.
Jack felt Chad still blamed Abigail, so Chad suggested maybe they’d all just been through too much. Jack felt like perhaps Abigail was right to leave, but he urged Chad not to give up on his wife.
In the town square, Shawn Brady (Brandon Beemer) pushed Jan away after the kiss she planted. Jan worried Shawn still hated her, but he argued that they couldn’t do this in public and acted like he was trying to protect Jan from John Black (Drake Hogestyn).
Jan was touched and loved the idea of meeting up with Shawn in a hotel room a little later.
At the hospital, Belle Brady (Martha Madison) had some bad news for John, who found out the judge was going to allow the recording.
John felt like he could fix this by telling the jury that he made a mistake and hadn’t been in his right mind, but Belle thought it would just look like John was trying to protect her.
Nevertheless, Belle noted that she had it under control along with Shawn, so a concerned John wondered about what that was supposed to mean. After Belle explained Shawn’s scheme, she insisted it was the only way to get Jan to confess.
Shawn called and let her know everything was going to plan, but he admitted he almost blew it. He couldn’t cover his disgust when Jan kissed him.
Shawn said he covered and suggested having Jan meet him in a hotel suite, but he felt like he was waiting for a firing squad. Belle felt Shawn was going above the call of duty and thought maybe they should shut this down.
Shawn insisted this was Belle’s life they were talking about and intended to do whatever he had to do.
At home, Claire kissed Ben more passionately as they began stripping down for lovemaking. Once Ben was shirtless, he ultimately pulled away and insisted he couldn’t do this.
Ben knew it didn’t make sense considering Ciara Brady Weston (Victoria Konefal wanted rid of him, but he was still married and felt like he’d be betraying his wife.
Claire was sorry for throwing herself at Ben out of nowhere, but Ben assured Claire it wasn’t really out of nowhere since they’d gotten closer these last few months.
Claire appreciated their friendship and didn’t want to screw it up, so Ben suggested they should split the blame 50-50 and decide right now their friendship would remain intact. Ben then left in a hurry, so Claire looked distraught.
After Ben arrived back at his place, he was stunned by someone he recognized. Days spoilers say it’ll turn out to be Jordan Ridgeway (Chrishell Stause) – or at least a vision of her. DOOL fans won’t want to miss Jordan and Ben’s conversation once Monday rolls around.
In the meantime, Dr. Snyder was sick and tired of patients abusing doctor-patient confidentiality. He mentioned Spears, so Gwen was confused about why he was bringing up the lunatic who woke up on April Fool’s Day.
Dr. Snyder said that Jan actually woke up weeks earlier. Now the doc felt like Gwen was trying to make a fool out of him just like Jan.
Gwen feared Dr. Snyder was going to assault her and threatened to scream as well as claw his eyes out. Dr. Snyder had no intention of violating Gwen on an exam table and assured Gwen that he hadn’t been driven wild by her beauty!
Gwen wondered what Dr. Snyder wanted then, so he pushed her to get dressed before they had the rest of their conversation.
When Dr. Snyder returned, he handed over an envelope along with an address where it should be delivered.
Dr. Snyder threatened to tell Jack and Chad that Gwen lost the baby before the fall unless she became his personal courier. He insisted it was going to become a weekly thing, so Gwen reluctantly agreed.
Once Gwen returned to the Horton home, she looked inside the envelope and found a bunch of pills. “I’m a bloody drug mule!” Gwen exclaimed. Meanwhile, Chad could be seen lurking nearby in the house.
Over with Jan again, she enjoyed some dessert and reflected on getting her happily ever after with Shawn. Jan imagined Shawn waiting shirtless in bed for her, but she snapped out of her fantasy when Dr. Snyder approached and gripped her neck.
Jan told Dr. Snyder that hurt, but it didn’t bother him since he was in a lot of trouble now that Jan had faked a coma under his care.
After Dr. Snyder offered updates on Shawn and Belle’s visit regarding the security footage, Jan realized she’d been played and insisted it was time to turn the tables.
“All’s fair in love and war – and this…this is war,” Jan said. Later, Shawn got on the phone with Jan and wondered where she was. Jan said she got held up and ran into an old friend. She held a gun on Claire, who looked terrified over becoming Jan’s hostage.
