Days of Our Lives Summer spoilers: Stephanie Shoots Baby & Kristen Killed?

Days of Our Livess may have four possible deaths in Salem this summer. Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) and Lexi Carver (Nikki Crawford) are on that list and possibly two kids, which is really bad. Also, EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) is directed, Dimitri Von Leuschner (Peter Porte) is back, and Sarah says, “I love you, but not to Xander.”

We have the lowdown on what's happening in Salem this summer. We took the big summer promo and made sense of it because it was flexible, ineffective, and all over the place. But we've fixed all that, but there's still a lot to cover. Therefore, I will speak faster than usual.

EJ's Wishes and Lexi's Illness on Days of Our Lives

So, for starters, EJ is determined to move forward with Stefano DiMera's (Joseph Mascolo) vision and preserve the empire his father built. And Lexi thinks the name DiMera would be a better thing. And Susan Banks (Stacy Haiduk) doesn't like this at all and tells EJ that he's not Stefano and she won't let him turn into that monster. Also, Lexi gets sick quickly. The ominous signs begin this week.

In addition, Mark found a dead mouse that had taken the same serum. Later this week, Dr. Wilhelm Rolf (Richard Wharton) tells EJ about the mouse. And if Lexi knows she's sick, she'll speak up and say EJ never stopped to think what this would do to her. So, it looks like Lexi will get a secret treatment from Rolf down the tunnel because she's coming out of a secret door. And Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) tells Lexi that she shouldn't hide things.

Days Spoilers: EJ Fires Sarah

Kristen also claps her hands that she wouldn't have entered the living room if she was hiding. Also, EJ will fire Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) after telling her she doesn't need your help. So, maybe that's about Chanel Dupree DiMera (Raven Bowens), but it could also be about Lexi as Rolf takes care of EJ's sister. We also see Lexi crying in the arms of Theo Carver (Cameron Johnson).

Also, Lexi is hospitalized again, and Abe Carver (James Reynolds) yells at EJ to get the hell out of there as he walks into the room to check on Lexi as Abe and Theo sit by her side on what's likely to be her deathbed again. So, it looks like that might be his fate. We might get Lexi dying in Abe's arms again.

Kristen's Fall and Gwen's Betrayal on DOOL

We also got Kristen in big trouble this summer. EJ finds out that Kristen was conspiring with Sophia and EJ screams in Kristen's face about her trying to kill her son. And then in a quick shot in the promo, we see Kristen being kidnapped. He was caught by the thugs from behind.

There is no doubt that EJs. We know that Stacy Haiduk wrapped up her run as Kristen and it's over The Young and the Restless now. So, he might be dead. We're also not satisfied with Gwen Rizczech (Emily O'Brien) telling EJ that he stabbed her in the back, so she returns his knife. He glared at Gwen. And I'm pretty sure this is about him leaking dirty DiMera information to Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) to spread to the Watcher.

Days of Our Lives Spoilers: EJ Loses It

And, EJ is in near tears, yelling at the woman that everything she did, every decision, every sacrifice, was for the family. There are also some pills in her clutch and there is some kind of drug bust in Salem this summer that EJ may have had a hand in. Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) is with Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) as he tells Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) that if illegal drugs are still around, this could be a public health problem.

And Johnny says on the phone to someone that he doesn't want to be involved in any of this. And that's because he sneaks in the dark to the doctor's office upstairs in the hospital and looks around. It doesn't look like Marlena Evans' (Diedre Hall) office. So, this may be about the issue of dirty pills.

Johnny tells Theo that they have a chance to leave a different legacy for their children than the one they left for themselves. Looks like they're going to be CEOs. But things change as Johnny sits with the injured Theo in the hospital and asks Johnny what other bad things he's hiding.

Chanel's Medical Crisis on DOOL

Chanel is meeting with her oncologist this week and it seems she is refusing treatment. But then there is a critical situation when she is about to give birth. He is at the hospital with Paulina Price (Jackée Harry), Lani Price (Sal Stowers), Johnny, and Kayla Brady (Mary Beth Evans). Johnny says he's bleeding and Kayla clears the room as Chanel says she's scared.

A Cat and Romance Investigation in Days of Our Lives

Cat Green (AnnaLynne McCord) is still investigating EJ this summer while trying to find a dose of serum to give to her mother who has dementia. But with Lexi sick, EJ might have to tell Cat no. But at the same time, he plans another scam on EJ and stops him, probably with a bee pot trap. Cat goes to see Marlena under hypnosis, and asks Cat if the connection between her and EJ is personal or professional. And Cat kisses EJ again this summer.

Chad And Belle's Romance Dates

And speaking of smooches, Chad DiMera (Connor Floyd) hits it off with Belle Black (Martha Madison) and kisses her right in the park after going to the football game. Also, the mystery of the chess set continues as more things are brought to the family of John Black (Drake Hogestyn). And Chad tells Belle that whoever Stephano got to drop these nails is still out Days of Our Lives. Another clue is a small silver key.

And Chad says it's better if we don't broadcast. There is someone in front of a chess board watching EJ, Chad, and a woman. It's not a cat. Maybe Marlena, maybe Belle. A lady in a pants suit. And you watch them through the surveillance camera on the tablet. Also, Chad discovers a Cat harboring dark secrets and confronts her.

Chad rushes to Cat that he knows about all this and did nothing. And Cat tries to explain, saying that there's a reason why she doesn't tell him everything. So, even if Jennifer Horton (Melissa Reeves) drops the ban on Cat dating Chad, I doubt she'll want anything to do with him after this.

Titan Financial Crisis in Days of Our Lives

We also have a big problem The Titan as Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) warns Xander Cook (Paul Telfer) and Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) that EJ found out they are using DiMera money to make loan payments. Philip says we're going to lose everything and it looks like Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) is listening. Kate Roberts (Lauren Koslow) tells Xander and Philip that they have to stand together or go down.

This is coming soon because Xander's arm is still in a sling from this incident and probably won't be that way for much longer. There was another scene where Philip yelled at Gabi about money, not buying forgiveness, but that happened this week. Also, Roman Brady (Josh Taylor). Kyle Lowder yells at Kate about the many lies and leaves.

Sarah's Love Triangle on dates

And we have a triangle action. Brady tells Sara he loves her and means it back. Then they kiss Horton Square, but Xander tells Marlena that he can see it in Sarah's eyes and Marlena warns that he is deluding himself that Sarah wants to get back together. He doesn't think so.

Also, Xander proves to be there for Sarah and helps her when a patient collapses on the scene. Also, in the promo, he tells Xander that he hopes they stop EJ in time, and warns Sarah that he doesn't want to be on EJ's team, and that might come before EJ fires Sarah.

Rachel Reading About Sophia and Holly's Tragedy

Also, it looks like Brady and Kristen tell Rachel Black (Lorelie Olivia Mote) that Sophia is dead, or Rachel hears The Bayview vine, but cries into Brady and Kristen's arms, asking what if the doctors can't heal like they failed to heal Sophia. It looks like Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) is having a rough summer, even though Amy Choi (Shi Ne Nielson) couldn't get Belle to press charges against her for Sophia's alleged suicide.

We'll see Holly tell Arianna Horton (Vico Escorcia) that it feels like there's no safe place in Salem. And then up at the hospital with Sarah and Tate, we'll see Holly insist, “Those pills aren't mine.” Then Tate asks, “Can we talk about this?” And Holly screams no and yells at Tate to get out as a horrified Sarah looks on. So, maybe Holly is taking pills again. Or maybe a vengeful Amy stops her since the DA won't indict her and blames Holly for Sophia's death.

Stephanie's gun tragedy in days

And in what may be a shocking moment of summer promotion, Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) and her focus on that gun may seem painful. We see Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu) telling her that she pulled a loaded gun and shot an innocent person, which is bad enough, but this could be Stephanie killing her marriage.

Because Alex rushes into the hospital room and asks Joy Wesley (AlexAnn Hopkins), “Where's Kelsey?” And Joy falls into Alex's arms, crying and clutching their daughter's blanket next to the empty baby carrier. He actually came with a child when he saw Alex and Stephanie and they actually fired a shot at Alex's baby mama who was holding their child. Did Stephanie shoot her child?

More Summertime on DOOL

Plus, we have some romantic sizzle as Eli Grant (Lamon Archey) pleasantly surprises Lani in the afternoon Salem Inn. And Kayla tells Steve that she's grateful to have him. However, I will say that this promo is more dark drama and tragedy than hugs and kisses.

And in some of that drama, Leo asks Dimitri in front of Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) and Gwen if he won't make a deal with Rafe. Will Dimitri do one with him? So, we'll see if this has anything to do with DiMera. I think so. And that means Peter Porte is back on the scene for the summer. And if Leo is single, we'll see if they get together.
