Days of our Lives spoilers: Can Chad face the fallout of his disappearance as EJ pushes dangerous plans & Maggie questions Jeremy?

Friday’s episode of Days of our Lives will bring a wave of emotional moments as several characters are forced to confront problems they can’t ignore. Chad struggles with the consequences of his sudden disappearance, Gwen faces a demand she never wanted, and Maggie senses trouble where others don’t.

Chad finds himself trapped with his siblings, but the physical situation isn’t the part that scares him most. What truly hits him is the timing. His absence means he missed the custody hearing involving Thomas and Charlotte, and that weighs heavily on him.

Theo listens as Chad talks through all of it — the fear of losing his children and the guilt of not being present. Theo responds with calm confidence, even though he hasn’t lived enough life to fully understand what Chad is dealing with.

EJ becomes convinced that Leo is a threat to whatever secret plan he has in motion. Instead of handling it himself right away, he pushes Gwen to deal with Leo first.

Gwen understands the danger of EJ’s plan being exposed, but taking action against Leo is not something she wants to do. She makes her disagreement very clear, but EJ’s tone shows he isn’t interested in debate.

Meanwhile, Rafe jumps in when Cat tries to take a stand against EJ. He doesn’t want her acting on her own, and he makes that point loudly.

Stephanie and Alex talk excitedly about their future together. They describe their relationship as strong and full of love. But the question is whether anything could disrupt that sense of security.

Jeremy might be that disruption. Maggie confronts him with clear frustration, hinting that she knows more than she’s saying. Her reaction raises the possibility that something underneath the surface could affect Stephanie and Alex’s peace.

Emotions rise, tempers flare, and every character faces a choice that could change everything before anyone is ready for the fallout.
