Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers recap for Friday, May 20, reveals that Kristen DiMera’s (Stacy Haiduk) surprise brought Gabi Hernandez DiMera’s (Camila Banus) twist of fate – and Jan Spears (Heather Lindell) made a babysitting Bo Weston request. Here’s how all the DOOL action played out.
At home on Friday’s Days episode, Jan convinced Belle Brady (Martha Madison) to come over during a phone call and then lied to Shawn Brady (Brandon Beemer) about ordering a baby outfit for little Bo.
After Jan suggested she could babysit Bo, Shawn was firmly against the idea. However, Shawn agreed to pitch it to Ciara Brady Weston (Victoria Konefal) once Jan said she could mostly observe Shawn and try to get some motherhood practice.
Meanwhile, EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) hugged Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) following his devil ordeal. Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) was also on hand as Belle arrived to discuss all the shares necessary for the shareholder meeting.
EJ and Chad felt confident going into their attempt to oust Gabi, though Chad still seemed uneasy about the secret he was keeping about setting his brother up.
At DiMera Enterprises, Jake overheard Gabi making plans for a celebration and worried it was a mistake to come back to work. Gabi made it clear that the arrangements were for Li Shin (Remington Hoffman), who arrived and was on Gabi’s side as the shareholder meeting got underway.
Despite Gabi and Jake’s best efforts to scrape together enough votes, it looked like EJ and Chad were about to win the majority. That’s when Kristen made a stunning appearance via video call and seemed ready to bring Gabi’s twist of fate.
In the hospital, Allie Horton (Lindsay Arnold) visited Tripp Johnson (Lucas Adams), who was all cut up and bandaged following his near-death experience. Allie felt that Tripp had risked too much for her, but Tripp insisted he hadn’t and wanted Allie to live since he still loved her.
Although Allie admitted she still loved Tripp too, he pushed her to be honest about her feelings for Chanel. After a brief bonding moment with Johnny in the town square, Chanel showed up in Tripp’s hospital room and hugged Allie in relief.
Tripp looked uncomfortable as Chanel repeatedly embraced Allie since the connection between them was powerful. Johnny joined in the gang’s efforts to wish Tripp well, but he stepped out with Chanel soon after.
Once Tripp was alone with Allie, he once again asked about her love for Chanel – and the look on her face seemingly gave him an answer.
In the waiting area on Friday’s Days episode, Johnny assured Chanel that he still loved her and wanted to be there for her. Chanel got swept up in Johnny’s passionate kiss and kissed him back.
Once Belle met up with Jan, she learned Jan wanted to turn Belle’s home office into a nursery. Belle pointed out that as soon as the baby came, Jan would be sent back to prison.
Nevertheless, Jan acted like the baby would need his or her mom and felt she could get out on good behavior. Jan intended to stick around and raise this baby with Shawn, so Belle blew up and ranted about Jan trying to destroy her marriage.
When Shawn returned, Belle looked like the villain for ripping into a pregnant woman – which was obviously Jan’s goal in setting this trap! As other Days news comes in, we’ll pass along updates.
