Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers recap for Friday, November 24, reveals that Harris Michaels (Steve Burton) shocked Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) with the news that he’d be facing murder charges. Harris offered updates on the demise of Nicole Walker-DiMera’s (Arianne Zucker) baby and shared how EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) was determined to make Leo pay.
Leo called Sloan and begged for help, so she offered reassurance that she was going to get him out of this. That said, Sloan had a lot going on and couldn’t come deal with Leo’s crisis right away.
Sloan also spoke to Melinda Trask (Tina Huang) over the phone and wondered how Melinda could be so matter of fact about convincing Nicole and EJ that the baby was gone forever.
Melinda acted like she was just doing what needed to be done and pushed Sloan to focus on the happiness she’d feel once she was raising this child with Eric Brady (Greg Vaughan).
When Eric came home, Sloan told him that their baby had touched down in Salem, so Melinda was bringing him over.
Eric was over the moon as he looked forward to being a dad and building a family with Sloan.
At the hospital on Friday’s Days episode, Dr. Pierce (Steve Mize) told Nicole and EJ that according to the autopsy, it was just as they feared.
Dr. Pierce acted like the baby suffered from fatal internal injuries as a result of the crash.
Nicole demanded to see and hold her son one more time, so EJ pushed Dr. Pierce to bring the baby in. Dr. Pierce didn’t think that was wise, but he eventually said he’d make the arrangements.
Afterward, Dr. Pierce met back up with Melinda, so they clashed over him needing to produce a baby to dupe EJ and Nicole.
Melinda decided Dr. Pierce didn’t need a baby after all, so she told him what to say and do off-screen.
Back at the hospital on Friday’s DOOL show, Dr. Pierce told Nicole and EJ that seeing the baby’s body wouldn’t be possible.
Dr. Pierce claimed that the baby had been mislabeled and accidentally cremated, so Nicole and EJ were livid.
Nevertheless, Nicole eventually decided it didn’t really matter since nothing would give the living son that she wanted.
As for Melinda, she dropped the baby off at Eric and Sloan’s place.
Eric thought Sloan should hold the baby first, but he immediately started crying when she took him in her arms.
Once Eric took over holding the baby on Friday’s Days episode, he quickly settled down. Sloan tried again soon after, but the baby remained unsettled when he was close to her.
In a moment alone, Sloan worried the baby could sense that Eric was his real father and that she wasn’t his real mother.
It was just another reason for Sloan to fear she wasn’t cut out for this.
There was a knock at the door, so Sloan answered it and was stunned to find Dimitri von Leuschner (Peter Porte) standing there.
Dimitri said he was back, so Sloan had to wrap her head around that shocker.
At home on Friday’s Days episode, Ava Vitali (Tamara Braun) listened to Harris’ voicemail, which wished her a happy Thanksgiving and asked if she’d seen his work keys anywhere.
Ava opened the door to Stefan DiMera (Brandon Barash) next and learned Clyde Weston (James Read) was threatening Gabi DiMera (Camila Banus), so he’d been forced to take over for Gil Carter (David S. Lee).
Stefan got Ava to hand over the evidence room key so that he could make a copy and pushed her to trust him since she really had no choice.
Just as Stefan was about to leave, Harris showed up and caught him there.
Stefan made up an excuse about wanting to remind Tripp Johnson (Lucas Adams) and Wendy Shin (Victoria Grace) that they misunderstood what they saw. After Stefan assured Harris that Gabi was innocent, he took off.
Once Harris was alone with Ava, he asked about his keys again. Ava lied that she hadn’t seen them, but then she met back up with Stefan to get the key set back.
Stefan now had a copy of the evidence key, so Ava knew she had to get the key set back to Harris without raising suspicions.
However, Stefan thought that was the easy part considering they’d also have to get inside the evidence room somehow and steal back the proof on Clyde’s associate.
Back with Melinda, she was forced to hand over more money to Dr. Pierce, who was concerned about the baby theft mess blowing up in their faces.
After Nicole was discharged from the hospital, she waited for EJ to pick up some sliders from the pub. While Nicole was outside, Eric came along with the baby in his new stroller.
Nicole was surprised to see that Eric had the infant already and learned that he was there to show him off to Roman Brady (Josh Taylor).
Before Eric could go inside, Nicole stopped him and tearfully asked if she could hold the baby.
Days of Our Lives spoilers say Nicole’s motherly instincts are going to be a major problem for Sloan and Melinda, so stay tuned.
