Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers recap for Friday, October 25, reveals that Xander Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) spoke to Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) over the phone and grumbled about their deal, but Kristen insisted it was a mutually beneficial one and planned to meet him this afternoon.
An outraged Justin Kiriakis (Wally Kurth) grilled Xander about why he was giving Kristen control of Titan, but Xander explained it was because of the paralysis cure.
Justin softened over that news, but he still advised against this deal as Xander’s legal counsel. Sarah Kiriakis (Linsey Godfrey) also wheeled herself in and pushed Xander not to give up his birthright, but Xander’s mind was made up.
At the DiMera mansion on Friday’s Days episode, Melinda Trask (Tina Huang) pushed Stefan DiMera (Brandon Barash) to sign the divorce papers, but he hesitated and insulted her.
Melinda got fed up and left with a reminder that her billable hours were the same no matter what Stefan decided.
Kristen eventually found Stefan in a foul mood and suggested he should just forget the divorce papers if he still loved Gabi Hernandez DiMera (Cherie Jimenez). Stefan took some time to mull it over and decided he would indeed fight for his marriage to Gabi.
Suddenly, a masked intruder appeared and ambushed Stefan from behind. It looked like someone drugged Stefan with a syringe and kept him in a chokehold until he passed out on the sofa.
At the Salem PD on Friday’s Days episode, EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) pushed Fiona Cook (Serena Scott Thomas) to sign a 10-year plea deal. Fiona refused and pretended she’d never confessed to anyone about her guilt in the hit-and-run accident.
Melinda arrived to represent Fiona and insisted her client was being held for a crime she didn’t commit.
EJ acted like he could get a conviction based on Sarah and Brady Black’s (Eric Martsolf) eyewitness testimony, but Melinda seriously doubted that since they had changed their stories multiple times.
In the end, EJ reluctantly released Fiona, but he warned that Melinda would pay for this.
Later, Sarah found Fiona sipping a martini in the town square. Fiona revealed that the charges against her had been dropped, so Sarah looked both shocked and furious.
Back at the Kiriakis mansion on Friday’s DOOL show, Kristen walked in with a vial for Xander and said there was a second one it needed to be combined with to cure Sarah’s paralysis.
Kristen assured Xander that he’d get the second one after he signed the papers and the Titan stock was transferred to her. However, Justin popped up again and insisted he wouldn’t bother signing since someone filed an injunction to block this.
Xander speculated about who it could be and assumed it had to be a family member. It left Xander baffled since Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) wasn’t really Victor’s son.
“But I am,” Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) said as he came around the corner.
At Rafe Hernandez’s (Galen Gering) house, he looked glum over a letter and gave Gabi updates on the demise of Tía Hilda, whose cancer had come back. Hilda passed away peacefully in her sleep and had a small funeral with immediate family in Corpus Christi.
Gabi wished they were still close to their relatives there and said she still prayed for them. Since Hilda left Rafe something in her will, Gabi pushed him to open up the box that was sent to him.
Rafe indeed opened it and found an engagement ring along with a note about his unlucky love life. Hilda hoped that Rafe would find someone worthy to give that ring to eventually.
Gabi suggested Rafe was like the son Hilda never had, which Rafe found sad since Hilda actually had a son! Nevertheless, Gabi played up Rafe’s special bond with Hilda since he was the only one who could make her laugh.
Talk turned to Gabi’s impending divorce, which she was now uncertain about on Friday’s Days episode. Rafe thought Gabi should take some time and let her heart decide what to do.
Gabi flashed back to some lovely moments with Stefan and thought it was him when she heard a knock at the door. Once Gabi opened up, she was taken aback over someone standing off-screen.
