Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers recap for Friday, July 14, reveals that Abe Carver (James Reynolds) dreamed he was an amnesiac character named Henry Marshall on Body and Soul, so Lorna (Lauren Koslow) wanted to turn him into her perfect mayoral candidate.
Kassandra (Mary Beth Evans) insisted Lorna’s plan would never work before she expressed confidence that Sandra (Jackée Harry) would be the next mayor instead.
Sandra’s story sounded a lot like Paulina’s since she said her first act as mayor would be to bulldoze the town square and put a giant store in its place.
Abe thought he shared a daughter with Sandra as some memory fragments started to come back to him.
At the hospital on Friday’s Days episode, Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) quizzed Whitley King (Kim Coles) about why she was resigning from the hospital and where she was going.
Whitley acted like she just wanted a fresh start and said she’d go back to Arizona since she had family there.
After Steve mentioned some details in Whitley’s background check, she grew nervous and eventually claimed Jerry Prentiss (Terrell Ransom Jr.) was the last person to see Abe before he went missing – not her.
Whitley said she saw Jerry lingering outside Abe’s room at the hospital, so Steve wondered why she never mentioned it before.
However, Whitley suggested she didn’t want to get Jerry in trouble since he seemed like such a nice young man.
Once Steve was gone, Whitley muttered about having to throw Jerry under the bus and hoped he was long gone by now.
At Jerry’s apartment on Friday’s DOOL show, Lani Price-Grant (Sal Stowers) showed up and questioned him about what he wanted to tell Theo Carver (Cameron Johnson) down on the docks.
Jerry acted like he just wanted to say how sorry he was about what happened, but Lani thought there was more to the story.
Although Lani wasn’t a cop anymore, she still wanted to help with the investigation somehow and begged Jerry to help her get closure.
Jerry finally blurted out that he made up the whole story and never saw Abe on the docks, where he planted the hospital bracelet and blood Whitley gave him.
Lani worried about what Whitley had done to Abe, but Jerry said that he was alive and still at her apartment as far as he knew.
After Jerry stammered out apologies, Lani raced to Whitley’s place and barged in the door. When Lani found drugged Abe on the sofa, she was shocked to come face to face with him again.
Back with Jerry, he was just about to leave with his packed belongings when Steve knocked on the door and added to his problems.
At the DiMera mansion on Friday’s Days episode, Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) told Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) that if she hypothetically knew where Rachel Black (Finley Rose Slater) was, then she’d wanted shared custody in exchange for returning her.
After Kristen insisted it was in Rachel’s best interest, Marlena was inclined to agree as she met up with Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) and Belle Brady (Martha Madison) in the town square.
Belle pointed out that since Brady was the custodial parent, it could look bad that he sent Rachel to a summer camp that allowed her to go missing.
Marlena also played up how Rachel loved Kristen, so the court would take into account the fact that she wanted to see her mother.
At the DiMera mansion again, Rachel came down from the attic wearing a bear suit, so Kristen recalled how her daughter hid among her stuffed animals when the cops had searched the house.
Although Rachel was bored with hiding and didn’t like making Brady worry, Kristen assured her that this wouldn’t be for much longer.
Rachel agreed to go back up to the attic for a tea party until Kristen could work everything out.
Brady eventually decided to take a new custody agreement over to Kristen, who happily signed it and thought he was doing the right thing.
Moments later on Friday’s Days episode, Brady ripped it up and made it clear that he wasn’t caving to her demands.
Days of Our Lives spoilers say Brady and Kristen’s showdown is about to get ugly, so stick with us for updates on how this stunning news will affect Rachel.
