Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers recap for Friday, September 1, reveals that Shawn Brady (Brandon Beemer) was embarrassed over his earlier behavior and claimed to be doing much better after his 24-hour hold.
Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) assured Shawn that there was no shame in asking for help and agreed to release him, but she wanted him to resume therapy and notify her if he was in bad shape again.
At the pub on Friday’s Days episode, Belle Black Brady (Martha Madison) wrapped up her conversation with Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) before John Black (Drake Hogestyn) arrived.
John got updates on all the Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) drama before Brady explained that he wasn’t pressing charges out of respect for Victor Kiriakis (John Aniston).
Although Brady had been on an unlucky streak in the love department, John didn’t want his son to close his heart off to the possibility of finding the right woman.
At the townhouse later, Brady was stunned when he opened the door to Theresa Donovan (Jen Lilley), who flashed a nervous smile and confessed that it had been a while.
Back at the hospital on Friday’s Days episode, Shawn apologized to Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu) and hoped they could be detective partners again, so Jada accepted the apology and agreed they could indeed team up.
Shawn kept trying to act like he was on the road to recovery, but Belle was alarmed over the idea of him returning to work so soon.
Nevertheless, Belle relented on Shawn’s plan – though she did make him take the rest of the day off so he could relax with her at home.
In a moment alone, Shawn sighed like he was still putting on an act and trying to make it seem like he was improving.
At Jada’s place, Paulina Price (Jackee Harry) found Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) and pushed him to stop dragging his feet on accepting the police commissioner job again.
Rafe refused until he knew for sure that the policy would be changed and allow him to keep dating Jada.
There was also talk about Paulina’s date with Abe Carver (James Reynolds) taking a terrible turn, so Paulina feared it was the swansong for their marriage.
Back at the hospital, Jada told Kayla Johnson (Mary Beth Evans) about a mysterious elderly man who was found wandering down a road. Kayla assured Jada that she’d examine him, so she quickly found that “John Doe” (Dick Van Dyke) was quite flirty and charming.
Once Kayla brought Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) in on the case, Marlena vowed to help “John Doe” put together his missing memories. “John Doe” was on a mission to find a son he’d never met – and he felt certain this son was there in Salem due to a dream he had.
Marlena insisted she’d put her husband on the case and agreed with “John Doe” about this potentially being the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
Back with Jada, she returned home and was taken aback over Rafe’s suggestion. Rafe urged Paulina to hire Jada as her new police commissioner instead, but she balked at the notion.
After Paulina received news from the city council about the policy change, she confirmed that dating subordinates would now be judged on a case-by-case basis.
Even so, Rafe thought Jada deserved the police commissioner spot and kept pressuring Paulina to give Jada the job.
Paulina ultimately picked Rafe instead, but Jada was fine with that and privately admitted she felt the same as Rafe when it came to falling in love. Jada indeed thought she was falling in love with Rafe, so they shared a passionate kiss.
Next on Friday’s DOOL show, Abe complained to Steve about his disastrous date with Paulina, who told him how she planned to bulldoze the town square and ruin his reputation when they first met.
Abe was tired of being lied to and didn’t see how he could’ve possibly fallen for Paulina. Steve suggested that the Abe who fell in love with Paulina wasn’t such a “self-righteous prig,” but then he apologized for overstepping.
Although Abe was scared of his true feelings for Paulina, he found a way to open his heart to her again.
When Paulina ran into Abe in the town square, he surprised her by suggesting they should start over – and Paulina agreed she’d like that.
At the pub again on Friday’s Days episode, Marlena met up with John and Steve to reveal that she had a new case for them, so they were intrigued.
Days of Our Lives spoilers say Steve and John will uncover some surprising facts about “John Doe” soon, so stay tuned to DOOL. Be sure to make CDL your favorite hotspot for fantastic Days of Our Lives spoilers, updates and news!
