Friday’s episode of Days of Our Lives sets the stage for emotional clashes and decisive moments that could reshape several relationships in Salem. From professional fallout to personal crossroads, multiple characters find themselves facing uncomfortable truths and irreversible choices.
Xander has never been known for holding back, and his frustration reaches a boiling point when it comes to Brady. Aware that Sarah and Brady have been growing closer, Xander struggles to hide his resentment. While Sarah is beyond his control, Brady is not.
Tensions rise at work, and when emotions overtake reason, Xander makes a drastic move. His authority gives him the upper hand, and he doesn’t hesitate to use it. The confrontation ends with Xander delivering words that instantly change Brady’s situation — he fires him. The fallout from this decision could ripple far beyond the office.
As emotions continue to build, Sarah finds herself leaning on Maggie for guidance. Maggie has already noticed the closeness between Sarah and Brady, having witnessed an intimate moment between them. Now, Sarah has the opportunity to be honest about what she’s feeling.
Whether Sarah fully admits her growing connection to Brady remains uncertain. However, the conversation suggests she may finally be ready to confront what her heart wants — and what that could mean for her future.
Chanel’s pregnancy brings serious concerns, prompting Johnny to question whether continuing it is safe. His fear centers on the potential risks to both Chanel and their unborn child. Johnny urges her to consider ending the pregnancy rather than facing possible complications.
Chanel, however, refuses to back down. Confident in her ability to carry the baby safely, she stands firm in her decision. Spoilers indicate she makes it clear to Johnny that abortion is not an option, setting the stage for a difficult but defining moment in their relationship.
