Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers recap for Tuesday, May 24, reveals that Leo Stark’s (Greg Rikaart) poisoned cookies caused Sonny Kiriakis’ (Zach Tinker) collapse – and Duke the teddy bear had a diamond ring surprise. Here’s how all the DOOL drama played out on Tuesday’s fun episode.
At the DiMera mansion on Tuesday’s Days episode, EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) complained about Clyde Weston (James Read) drinking all the good scotch and admitted to Belle Brady (Martha Madison) that he came over to make a drug-related proposition.
That led to EJ confessing that he had dirt on Clyde, so Belle convinced him to spill since she was his attorney. EJ told Belle the story of Clyde ordering his “death,” but he didn’t want to go to the cops since he was running drugs at the time – not to mention his loved ones were being threatened.
After EJ alluded to a plan to take care of Clyde for good, Belle worried about him taking matters into his own hands. Once Belle expressed how she cared about EJ, she offered to help him brainstorm other legal solutions over a meal. Belle was a bit tipsy as she stood up, so EJ made sure she was steady again.
At home, Ben Weston (Robert Scott Wilson) let Clyde hold little Bo Brady Weston and praised his dad for how he’d worked to turn his life around. Clyde was eager for his date with Nancy Miller (Patrika Darbo), who was busy clashing with Leo in the town square.
Although Leo fished for info on Craig Wesley (Kevin Spirtas), Nancy shut him down and taunted Leo over ending up alone. Leo eventually called Nancy a “miserable old hag” before snatching her wig, so she attacked him right back.
Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) eventually forced Leo to return the wig and scram, but Leo circled back to Nancy soon after. Leo urged Nancy to let Chloe Lane (Nadia Bjorlin) know that she was on his list.
At the Kiriakis mansion on Tuesday’s Days episode, Sonny urged Xander Cook (Paul Telfer) to give Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) some time to forgive him. Xander wasn’t keen on that idea and pointed out the distance could also be bad for Sonny and Will Horton (Chandler Massey).
However, Sonny received a box of cookies that were seemingly from Will and Arianne Horton (Sydney Brower), so he took that as proof he was still on Will’s mind and sent a video message of gratitude
Once Leo came over with an edible arrangement as a fake peace offering, he ate some of the flower-shaped fruit to prove it wasn’t poisoned.
After Sonny got a message back from Will, he realized his husband had no idea what cookies he was talking about earlier. Sonny collapsed on the floor as Leo warned those cookies were definitely a health hazard.
Back at Ben and Ciara Brady Weston’s (Victoria Konefal) apartment, Nancy charmed them and gushed over the baby before she headed out with Clyde. When Clyde heard about Nancy’s run-in with Leo earlier, he got protective and earned himself a kiss on the cheek.
Clyde surprised Nancy with some flowers before they crossed paths with Belle and EJ. After Clyde implied that EJ and Belle were on a date, they clarified that they weren’t. Clyde acted like they should have fun doing whatever they’re doing then and left with Nancy awkwardly.
After Sarah got some comfort from Eric Brady (Greg Vaughan) in the room above the pub, she ignored Xander’s call. Eric headed downstairs for some food and crossed paths with Rafe, Nicole and Holly Jonas (Elin Alexander).
Holly was excited to see Eric and wondered if he would get back together with her mommy. Nicole gently reminded Holly that Eric was a priest and that she’d moved on with Rafe.
Sarah ultimately joined everyone to apologize for the confusion at Nicole’s place earlier, but Nicole and Rafe understood. Later, Eric was consoling Sarah once again when Xander showed up.
Although Sarah had forgiven Xander for the baby swap before, she felt she was a different woman now. Sarah argued that a marriage between them wouldn’t happen, but Xander refused to give up hope.
At Nicole’s place, Rafe gave Holly a stuffed dog as a gift before she went to bed. Nicole then learned that Rafe had a present for her, too. It was a new Duke teddy bear with an extra surprise in the pocket.
Nicole pulled out an engagement ring as the evening took a stunning turn. As other Days news comes in, we’ll pass along updates.
Days of Our Lives spoilers say Nicole will have a difficult decision to make soon, so stick with DOOL. CDL will have other terrific Days of Our Lives spoilers, updates and news for you, so make us your go-to source.
