Days of Our Lives: Philip makes a hasty plan

Philip Kiriakis has remained sidelined by his family after his forgery was revealed. However, he remained an official part of Titan. But when Xander and Alex discussed buying out the hospital, they did not consult him.

The soap's spoilers suggest that Philip will try a solo act in the upcoming episodes. Learning about Dr. Russell's sepsis drug, he will want to acquire a few of the vials to possibly help out Bo's recovery. As such, he will reach out to Kevin, who works at the hospital's research lab, to steal a box. However, their plan may go wrong, leaving the whole batch destroyed.

Meanwhile, Shawn, Steve, and Kayla have been tight-lipped about their plan to steal the drug. As such, when they make their move, they may find the Versavix batch missing. Since Bo's life depends on the sepsis drug, this may be bad news for his family.
