Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers recap for Monday, October 3, reveals that Leo Stark’s (Greg Rikaart) blackmail stunned Jack Deveraux (Matthew Ashford) while Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) vowed to stay away from Xander Cook (Paul Telfer) and Sarah Cook (Linsey Godfrey). Here’s how all the DOOL action played out.
At the hospital, Will Horton (Chandler Massey) informed Sonny Kiriakis (Zach Tinker) that he’d be released soon, but Leo interrupted to offer an edible arrangement and thank Sonny for remembering the cologne clue that saved him.
Leo also fished to get his job back at Titan, but Sonny reminded him of his past mistakes and pointed out Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) was in charge now anyway.
After a work call, Will realized he was needed back in Hollywood for a meeting, but he worried about leaving Sonny as well as his sick grandmothers.
However, Sonny reassured Will about their long-distance relationship and convinced him to follow his dream.
In the waiting area, Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) handled another call from a worried Joey Johnson (Tanner Stine).
A nearby Alex wondered if Stephanie was OK, but she snapped at him.
Alex grumbled about keeping things professional and handed over some new numbers for Stephanie to spin.
A little later, Alex visited Sonny, who resorted to name-calling and remained upset over his brother’s betrayal at Titan.
Sonny and Alex’s argument escalated, but Will eventually convinced them both to call a truce.
Alex admitted he really did come there to work things out with Sonny, but then he got irritated over his encounter with Steffy.
Once Alex found out Kayla Johnson (Mary Beth Evans) was in the hospital, he wished he’d known Stephanie’s mom was ill before he was such a jerk to her.
At the Horton house on Monday’s Days episode, Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) met up with Jennifer Deveraux (Cady McClain) and learned she was headed to rehab.
Although Chad worried that he’d leaned on Jennifer too much, she assured him this wasn’t his fault.
Chad talked about how he needed to be strong and move on for Abigail DiMera (Marci Miller).
After Chad revealed that he saw Abigail in the cemetery, Jennifer confessed seeing a vision of Abigail as well and flashed back to that night in the car.
After Chad left, Jennifer had another flashback and became alarmed as she realized she was the one who ran over Gwen.
Back with Chad, he ran into Stephanie at Julie’s Place and found out Kayla, Kate Roberts (Lauren Koslow) and Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) all had a mysterious illness.
Stephanie was overwhelmed with a mountain of work, so she accepted Chad’s offer to help since he needed a distraction.
In Gwen’s hospital room, she had a nightmare about the hit-and-run before Sarah appeared.
Sarah then confronted Gwen about trying to set her up for Abigail’s stabbing and have her committed.
After Gwen pointed out Sarah got Xander and the happily ever after, she said she was sorry and vowed to stay away from them both until the end of time.
Sarah warned Gwen that she’d better before Leo showed up next.
Once Gwen had another flashback and recalled that Jennifer was behind the wheel, Leo thought they should make her literally pay.
Gwen was reluctant, but Leo insisted Jennifer did this deliberately and felt it was a good blackmail opportunity.
At the pub on Monday’s Days episode, Xander asked Jack for a job at The Spectator, but Jack was clearly distracted.
Once Jack finally blurted out that he thought Jennifer ran down Gwen, Xander was shocked.
Since Jack needed to talk to Jennifer, Xander agreed to deliver the chowder Jack was picking up for Gwen.
When Xander arrived at the hospital with the takeout and explained that Jack was dealing with something, an annoyed Sarah said she’d have a nurse pass it along.
Back at the Horton house, Jack came home looking for Jennifer and found Leo instead.
Leo admitted he let himself in and said this would go quicker if Jack got his checkbook out.
After Leo revealed that he knew Jennifer mowed down Gwen, he warned that Jack was going to pay him to keep his mouth shut.
In Gwen’s hospital room again, she was surprised to see Jennifer at the door. Gwen asked if Jennifer was there to finish her off, but Jenn just looked distraught.
Days of Our Lives spoilers say Jennifer will plead for forgiveness soon, so stay tuned for more DOOL drama.
