Days of Our Lives: Xander bullies Philip
Xander crossed a dangerous line with Philip, trying to strangle him before being stopped. Although visibly shaken afterwards, Philip later swore the attack never happened, as Xander threatened to keep him quiet. Although the particular threat wasn't discussed, it was severe enough to silence Philip. As tensions rise, this act of coercion could have devastating implications, particularly if Philip's guilt begins to manifest itself.
Meanwhile, Marlena and Belle were still grieving over the loss of John, with Marlena having a dizzy spell that caused her to go in for a checkup with Sarah.

This tender moment was a significant turning point in their on-again-off-again relationship, particularly after Belle's tragic loss.
Chanel pushes back on EJ's influence over Johnny
Chanel was worried about EJ's influence on Johnny, informing Paulina and Abe that his involvement was more harmful than beneficial. Seeking to shield Johnny, Chanel went on to confront EJ directly, warning him to keep his hands off his son. Her stand creates additional tension in Salem's complex family dynamics as loyalties are strained.
Meanwhile, Doug III was sent a threatening message and photos of himself and Holly. He doesn't know who's behind the ploy or what they're after, so he sought assistance from Leo Stark in the form of a loan. Although Leo has been attempting to clean up his reputation, this could pull him back into the same kind of trouble he's been trying to leave behind.

Just as Rachel was about to say something about Johnny, Sarah was summoned away to attend to Sophia, leaving the moment hanging. These hospital happenings lent emotional depth to an already historic day for Salem's younger generation.
