Schemers are scheming in Salem, but some of their best-laid plans are quickly unraveling. Chad has doubts about Kristen’s confession, Brady has questions about Sophia’s out-of-town birth, and Gabi’s got too many irons in the fire. Plus, as teased in the latest Days of Our Lives preview, Marlena isn’t out of danger yet!

Gabi’s going full steam ahead with her plot to extract DiMera from Titan and become CEO, and she’s doing it by playing both Philip and Xander. But in games of love and war, sometimes unexpected feelings creep in. Gabi better watch herself!

Then there is Philip’s ex, Belle, with whom he’s spending time and playing hooky on her day off. Could her newfound hatred for EJ push her back into Philip’s arms?

After confessing to shooting EJ to save her daughter, Rachel, from the crime she committed, Chad and Leo are having a hard time believing that Kristen actually pulled the trigger.

After grilling Sarah about Sophia, Brady turns to his dad’s best friend and partner, Steve, for answers. It seems he doesn’t believe Sophia’s story about how she suddenly found an adoptive couple for her and Tate’s child.

Sophia, meanwhile, has a fight on her hands as Holly makes it clear she’s not letting her former bestie steal her man!

Flash to Susan, who warns that Marlena’s health and nightmare troubles are far from over. In fact, they’re getting worse! Does this mean Stefano’s back? But how?

Finally, Gwen warns Leo to enjoy his happiness while it lasts. What does that mean? Could she be hinting Dimitri might be on his way back to Salem to throw a wrench into Leo and Javi’s love fest?
