Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers recap for Tuesday, April 26, reveals that Jan Spears (Heather Lindell) revealed a scary condition and warned Shawn Brady (Brandon Beemer) that their baby wouldn’t survive prison. Jake DiMera (Brandon Barash) also had a nightmare that left him rattled, so here’s how all the DOOL drama went down.
At Jake’s place, he had a nightmare that was actually a memory flash. Jake woke up with his heart racing after his “dance with the devil” – meaning his faceoff with possessed Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman).
Ava Vitali (Tamara Braun) placed her hand on Jake’s chest and felt his heart, but she ultimately apologized for making things weird.
Although Ava offered to listen if Jake wanted to discuss his bad dream, he opted to hop in the shower.
At DiMera Enterprises, EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) got updates on how Johnny helped Gabi Hernandez DiMera (Camila Banus) score the CEO seat.
Gabi insisted Johnny wanted in her bed too and learned Johnny was supposedly in Italy doing some soul-searching.
Now that EJ was out of prison, he thought Gabi should step aside and let him reclaim the DiMera throne.
Gabi refused, but EJ made it clear that he was coming for that throne anyway!
Later, Jake showed up looking for help.
Jake mentioned his possessed Johnny nightmare and wondered if Gabi could remember anything strange about the day of their fight.
Gabi only remembered it as the day she gained the CEO spot and lost Jake.
After Gabi implied that bunking with Ava was giving Jake nightmares, he mentioned that they were sharing the same bed.
Jake then clarified that they were simply sleeping together platonically – though he didn’t think that should matter to Gabi.
After Jake took off, Gabi made a bold declaration. She insisted she’d get Ava out of Jake’s bed if it was the last thing she did!
At the Salem PD, Nicole Walker (Arianne Zucker) was livid over Ava getting off the hook for her crimes.
After Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) ranted along with Nicole, they decided to go out for breakfast.
Nicole became uneasy as Rafe suggested grabbing something at the pub, but Ava interrupted before Nicole could explain Eric Brady’s (Greg Vaughan) return to town.
Nicole took off for the pub while Rafe stayed behind to deal with Ava.
Although Ava was there to apologize to Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien), Gwen refused to see her.
Rafe warned that if Ava dared to hurt him or Nicole again, then she’d end up in Gwen’s cell as well.
Ava guessed this was the bad cop side of Rafe she never got to see before. She suggested that if Rafe had shown it sooner, they might still be together!
When Ava met up with Jake back at the apartment, he was still shaken up over his devil Johnny nightmare.
At the pub on Tuesday’s Days episode, Eric opened up to Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) about his feelings for Nicole.
Although Eric was a priest, he was also human. Eric admitted his heart skipped a beat when he recently saw Nicole, who still had that power over him.
Suddenly, Nicole entered – and then Marlena took off in a hurry.
That led to Nicole hinting about the awkwardness of meeting Rafe there for breakfast, but Eric didn’t mind seeing Nicole happy.
Once Rafe showed up, Nicole stumbled through an explanation for why she hadn’t told Rafe that Eric was back in town.
Eric wished both Rafe and Nicole happiness in their new relationship, so Rafe put his arm around her and offered gratitude.
At the Salem PD again on Tuesday’s Days episode, Shawn and Belle Brady (Martha Madison) had another fight about Jan’s baby.
Shawn wanted a chance to make things up to Belle, but Jan’s phone call from prison derailed the conversation.
Although Shawn didn’t accept the first call, Belle picked up the second one for him and urged him to deal with his “baby mama.”
Shawn wound up visiting Jan at Statesville, where she claimed to have a condition that put her pregnancy at risk and required her to be on bed rest.
Once Shawn confirmed Jan’s claims through the prison doctor, he knew she wasn’t lying.
After Jan insisted their baby wouldn’t survive behind bars, she pushed Shawn to come let her stay at his place on house arrest.
As for Belle, she met up with EJ and gave off the record advice on reclaiming the DiMera throne.
Belle also confided some of her Shawn and Jan struggles, so EJ offered a warm embrace and a pep talk.
Days of Our Lives spoilers say Belle and EJ’s bond could be headed into dangerous territory soon, so stick with DOOL.
