Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers recap for Wednesday, May 25, reveals that Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) was thrilled over his bride-to-be Nicole Walker (Arianne Zucker). Eric Brady (Greg Vaughan) also got a phone call that changed everything, so let’s talk about the latest DOOL drama.
At the hospital, Ava Vitali (Tamara Braun) received positive updates on Tripp Johnson (Lucas Adams) before stepping outside his room with Kayla Johnson (Mary Beth Evans). Since Ava said some pretty nasty things when she thought Tripp was dead, she wanted to apologize.
Kayla understood that Ava was in mourning and insisted it was all good. After Ava headed out, Tripp talked to Kayla and Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) about how things went with Allie Horton (Lindsay Arnold), who loved him but also loved Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens).
Tripp mentioned wanting someone who would love only him, but he downplayed his heartbreak. Even so, Steve and Kayla decided to pick up a box of pizza so they could keep Tripp company over dinner.
At the bistro on Wednesday’s Days episode, Jake DiMera (Brandon Barash) interrupted Gabi Hernandez DiMera’s (Camila Banus) celebration with Li Shin (Remington Hoffman) to get her to sign some legal papers. Li encouraged Jake to join them, but he opted to take off.
After Li spoke to Gabi about the tension with Jake, she made it clear that they were over and that there were no issues at the office. Li admitted his attraction to Gabi and invited her back to his room for a nightcap, so they hit the sheets in Li’s hotel suite later.
Meanwhile, Jake bonded with Ava over dinner and how supportive he was during Tripp’s ordeal. After Jake leaned in for a kiss with Ava, that escalated until they were hooking up on the bed nearby.
At the pub on Wednesday’s Days episode, Eric got a call from the Vatican about being thrown out of the priesthood over the unauthorized exorcisms he performed. Kate Roberts (Lauren Koslow) heard the news along with Roman Brady (Josh Taylor) and urged Eric to see the silver lining.
After Kate suggested Eric now had the opportunity to get back together with Nicole, he pointed out that she had moved on with Rafe. Kate acted like that might not be the case if Eric was an option.
Roman also seemed to support the idea of an Eric and Nicole reunion, but he understood that Eric needed time to process everything without pressure. Once Eric was alone, he seemed deep in thought as he sulked.
At Nicole’s apartment, she hesitated as Rafe proposed using the ring from Duke the teddy bear’s pocket. Rafe wondered if Nicole was still worried about Ava’s threat, but he settled on Eric as a potential reason for Nicole’s uncertainty.
Nicole insisted she was all in with Rafe, but she thought maybe Eric played a role in Rafe popping the question now. Nevertheless, Rafe noted that he had the ring for a while and assured Nicole that he genuinely wanted to marry her.
Although Rafe started to take back the proposal and put the ring away, Nicole decided he was right – that Rafe was everything she’d ever wanted.
After Nicole urged Rafe to ask again, she accepted his proposal and kissed him passionately. Rafe declared himself the luckiest man in the world, but Nicole hinted that he was about to get even luckier before they celebrated in bed.
