Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers recap for Friday, November 26, reveals that Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) resisted arrest and knocked Shawn Brady (Brandon Beemer) unconscious while Ben Weston (Robert Scott Wilson) had a special gift for Ciara Brady Weston (Victoria Konefal), so here’s how all the Days drama went down.
At the Horton house, Marlena told Doug Williams (Bill Hayes) that he didn’t have to resort to name-calling, but Doug insisted that Marlena truly was the devil. Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes) thought everything made sense now and Shawn quickly agreed.
Marlena pushed her “sweet girl” Belle Brady (Martha Madison) not to believe this, but Belle pointed out it had happened before. Kayla Brady (Mary Beth Evans) also rejected her doctor’s logic in favor of her views as a catholic. She knew there was evil in the world and was inclined to believe Marlena was possessed based on her recent behavior.
The gang worried Marlena did something to John Black (Drake Hogestyn) before Shawn decided they should continue this conversation at the police station. Marlena demanded to know what she was being arrested for, so Shawn shrugged that he’d start with John’s injuries if she’d done something to him.
After Kayla and Belle headed to the hospital, Marlena broke free from her handcuffs and made the lights in the house flicker. The devil turned Marlena’s eyes yellow and deepened her voice as the confrontation took a scary turn.
Possessed Marlena hurled Shawn across the dining room table, so he nosedived into the floor below and lost consciousness. The devil talked about when he was inside Doug and used that to create an opportunity to slip inside Marlena.
After Marlena grabbed a knife to finish Doug and Julie off, Julie held up her rosery beads and declared that the power of God’s love was stronger than anything. She felt this was over for the devil, but possessed Marlena fired back that it would never be over!
In the DiMera crypt, a bloody Susan Banks (Stacy Haiduk) insisted she had no choice. Susan collapsed before John explained to Steve that she did it to herself to save her son. Steve asked if Marlena locked John up, but John was mostly worried about Steve getting Susan to the house before she bled out.
Steve derailed EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) Tony DiMera (Thaao Penghlis) and Anna DiMera’s (Leann Hunley) quiet holiday by showing up with stabbed Susan. EJ demanded to know what Steve did to his mother, but he eventually learned Steve simply found Susan like this in the crypt with John.
After EJ called for an ambulance, he encouraged Susan to hold on and put pressure on her stab wound. Meanwhile, Tony and Anna went out to the crypt to grant John his freedom. Anna used an ax to break John out of his restraints – and afterward, John offered updates on Marlena’s latest possession as he drank water in the DiMera living room.
Anna thought John should get checked out the hospital, but he refused since Marlena was still out there somewhere. Back with Steve, he found EJ in Susan’s hospital room and said the knife didn’t damage any of Susan’s major organs. Susan was expected to make a full recovery, so EJ was relieved.
Once Susan was awake, she revealed that possessed Marlena wanted her to kill John or else she’d go after EJ. Since the devil demanded a dead body, Susan hoped to sacrifice herself instead. EJ was touched that Susan was willing to die for him, but he didn’t want her to worry about the devil anymore. After Susan and EJ expressed their love, EJ gave her a sweet kiss on the forehead.
In the waiting area, Steve traded info with Belle and Kayla. When Belle called Anna to check on John, she passed along word that Marlena crashed Doug and Julie’s Thanksgiving dinner. Belle said Shawn was taking Marlena to the police station, but John thought it was a bad idea to antagonize Marlena right now.
Although John tried to get Anna to offer a warning, Belle had already disconnected. Tony and Anna insisted on taking John to the hospital, but he gave them the slip in the parking lot and headed to the Horton house.
Unfortunately, Marlena was already gone by the time John arrived. Shawn had regained consciousness by then and mentioned that Marlena said something about fulfilling her dark true purpose.
At home on Friday’s DOOL show, Ciara was battling morning sickness, but she thought it’d be worth it in the end. Ben offered Ciara a gift, which she opened and realized was a tiny motorcycle helmet for the baby.
Ciara and Ben reminisced about previous Thanksgivings and were happy to be together now. After Ben proposed a toast with ginger ale, Ciara pointed out that next year they’d be celebrating with their little angel.
Ben and Ciara decided to take a nap together on Friday’s Days episode, but Marlena arrived to throw off their plans. When Ben opened the door, Marlena stood there staring at him in an eerie moment.
