Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers recap for Monday, May 22, reveals that Nicole Walker (Arianne Zucker) rejected EJ DiMera’s (Dan Feuerriegel) marriage proposal and felt like he was being a “cynical, opportunistic jackass.”
When Nicole argued that EJ only proposed because Stefan DiMera (Brandon Barash) proposed to Gabi Hernandez (Camila Banus) first, EJ realized there was another reason and revealed that he was “very much in love” with Nicole.
Since Nicole couldn’t say it back, EJ worried that Nicole’s feelings for Eric Brady (Greg Vaughan) rekindled when she slept with him.
Nicole denied that on Monday’s Days episode, but she confused EJ with talk about how the “timing was off.”
EJ insisted he wanted to build a life with Nicole and Holly Jonas (Elin Alexander), but she privately told her unborn baby she couldn’t make a decision until she knew who the father was.
At Sweet Bits on Monday’s DOOL show, Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) got updates on what happened from Abe Carver (James Reynolds) before he passed out again.
Once Rafe summoned an ambulance for Abe, he made a phone call to alert all units about armed-and-dangerous Colin Petersen (Jasper Newman), who had abducted Paulina Price (Jackée Harry).
At the hospital, Abe had a seizure as his monitors went berserk, so the doctor examined him and gave Rafe some awful news.
Following Abe’s blow to the head, his CT scan revealed an intracranial hemorrhage. The doctor said there was a brain bleed, so they needed to get Abe to the OR.
Rafe got Theo Carver (Cameron Johnson) on the phone to give his verbal consent – and Theo vowed to send in the signed electronic forms afterward.
At the Salem PD, Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu) received a call from Talia Hunter (Aketra Sevillian), who begged her sister to get over to Colin’s hotel room at the Salem Inn.
Meanwhile, Melinda Trask (Tina Huang) showed up at the police station and grilled Eric, who admitted Sloan Petersen (Jessica Serfaty) had been arrested.
However, Trask soon learned that Sloan’s brother was responsible for harassing Paulina and Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens) instead of Sloan herself.
Trask approached Sloan, who felt that her arrest had been an intimidation tactic. As Sloan threatened to sue the police department and the city, she mentioned that Jada’s sister was caught up in all this.
After Trask decided she’d heard enough on Monday’s Days episode, she said Sloan was free to go.
Once Eric and Sloan made it to the town square, he insisted they couldn’t have any more secrets between them.
Sloan flashed back to Nicole pushing her to keep quiet about her pregnancy and seemed nervous after promising Eric there’d indeed be no more secrets.
After Jada met up with her sister in Colin’s hotel suite, Talia showed her the scarf that she’d found there and worried since it was Paulina’s.
Jada also saw Colin’s old photo album and realized just how obsessed he was with getting revenge for his parents’ deaths.
After Jada noticed a news clipping involving the roof story, Talia realized that must be where Colin took Paulina. Both Jada and Talia raced up to stop Colin before it was too late.
On the rooftop in Monday’s Days episode, Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens) begged for Paulina’s life, but Colin was adamant about making sure her mum went over the ledge.
Chanel insisted if Colin was going to do this, he at least needed to know the truth.
After Chanel ranted about how Colin’s father took advantage of her, she insisted his mother lured her up to the roof and attacked her that night.
Chanel fought back in self-defense, but what happened to Colin’s mom was an accident.
Colin got even angrier over Chanel’s side of the story, so he decided he would just kill both Paulina and Chanel.
Before Colin could shoot or do anything else, Jada and Talia showed up on the roof. Paulina passed out due to a panic attack, but Colin was convinced it was just some sort of stunt.
Once Colin grabbed Chanel and threatened her, Talia rushed toward him and tussled with him over the gun.
That ultimately sent both Colin and Talia hurling off the building as Chanel and Jada screamed over the shocker!
Days of Our Lives spoilers say Jada will rush down to see the aftermath soon, so stay tuned.
