Days of Our Lives recap for the episode aired on Friday, June 13, 2025
Kate confesses to losing the manuscript
At Titan on Days of Our Lives, Alex was finishing up work when Stephanie dropped by with a photo and dinner plans. Just as they shared a kiss, Kate arrived and admitted she lost the manuscript possibly at the hospital.
Alex was annoyed but told her to keep looking. He also asked if she’d consider working with him if Xander got convicted. Kate didn’t commit but said she wouldn’t work for someone who nearly killed her son.
Kayla finds the manuscript and confronts EJ
At the hospital on Days of Our Lives, Kayla spotted the manuscript on the nurses’ desk and took it to her office. EJ soon showed up to talk about his hospital role. Kayla told him she hadn’t voted for him but would give him a chance for now. They talked about the Versavix drug saving Bo. After EJ left, Kayla chose to read the manuscript instead of looking over his budget plans.
Sarah and Maggie debate Victoria’s future
At the Kiriakis mansion on Days of Our Lives, Sarah told Maggie she still loved Xander but didn’t trust herself. She thought about leaving Salem, but Maggie warned her that could hurt her custody case and risk losing Victoria.
Sarah decided to stop avoiding things and called Xander to talk, not about custody, but about setting clear rules for visitation.
Xander agrees to Sarah’s terms but tension simmers
After rough run-ins with Kayla and EJ, Xander rushed to see Sarah. She offered him supervised visits with strict rules, no surprises and only at scheduled times.
Xander accepted, but when Sarah said he couldn’t see Victoria that night, he got upset. He gave her the dress he bought and blamed her for what happened to Philip, sparking more tension.
Belle and Shawn reconnect, as EJ watches
Belle comforted Jada at the station before running into EJ in the square. She pretended to be on a call with Claire but was caught. Belle admitted she still had feelings for EJ but needed space to honor her father. EJ understood, though it was a hard moment for both.
Later, Shawn talked to Belle about visiting Claire and Theo together. They shared an honest talk and hugged just as EJ walked by, quietly watching.
At home, Sarah told Maggie she hated Xander but still loved him. Meanwhile, Xander entered Philip’s hospital room, fluffed a pillow, and whispered, “This will all be over before you know it,” ending the episode on a dark note.
