What to expect on Days of our Lives
Xander (Paul Telfer) is surprised when Vivian (Louise Sorel) suddenly shows up in his new office at DiMera Enterprises. He doesn't want her there, but she tells him that she has news he may want to hear.
Vivian is furious that not only did Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) screw up their plan, but he also kicked her out of the Kiriakis mansion and forced her to get a hotel room. To that end, Vivian decides to blow up Philip's life by telling Xander the truth — the letter from Victor (the late John Aniston) is a forgery, and he has no rights to Titan at all.
Xander is enraged when he hears this news. He trusted Philip and thought that they had established a real sibling relationship. Does Vivian mention that this was all her idea, or does she leave that part out of the story? Vivian always has an angle, and she doesn't want to get herself in trouble when she still wants money. Can she get Xander to team up with her?
Back at the Kiriakis mansion, Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) has her own confession to make to Maggie (Suzanne Rogers). Does she tell her the truth about Philip and that she has been keeping a massive secret from her husband for months? Maggie would also be enraged at Philip and want to kick him out of the mansion, right along with Vivian.
Marlena fights for John's life
In Estonia, Marlena (Deidre Hall) realizes her situation is more dangerous than ever. John's (the late Drake Hogestyn) life is on the line, and Steve (Stephen Nichols) is ready to step back because he fears they will be killed.
Marlena is not about to let this happen and tells Steve she will fight for her husband until the end. With Orpheus (George Del Hoyo) in the way, that will be easier said than done, but Marlena is determined. Steve and Marlena go head to head with their longtime enemy, but can they get him to relent and tell them where John is? After all, Orpheus' revenge plans go back decades.
