Amnesia, Arrests, and Ava’s Big Decision – Salem is on Fire!
The latest episode of Days of Our Lives brought us twists, turns, and a whole lot of legal drama. Rafe’s homecoming turned into a full-blown disaster, Belle finally saw EJ for the snake he is, and Brady found himself in an impossible situation with Ava. Let’s break down every jaw-dropping moment in this DOOL recap.
Rafe’s Return Ends in Handcuffs
Imagine waking up at home, only to be arrested within seconds. That’s exactly what happened to Rafe, who, much to the disbelief of Jada and Shawn, claimed to have amnesia. Oh, how convenient. Neither detective was buying his “I don’t know who I am” routine, suspecting he was actually Arnold playing dumb to dodge the consequences.

With no other options, Shawn slapped the cuffs on him and dragged him to the station under suspicion of kidnapping. Jada, laser-focused on finding the real Rafe, reluctantly let Shawn handle the interrogation while she went home to process the madness—and oh yeah, to subtly remind Shawn that they had a thing. Bad timing, Jada.
Belle Finally Gets a Clue About EJ
For months, Belle has been ignoring every red flag waving in EJ’s direction. But today? She finally snapped out of it. After a heated exchange, she made it crystal clear that she would be prosecuting him—no more free passes. EJ, ever the manipulative charmer, tried to flirt his way out of trouble, but Belle wasn’t having it.
After storming off, she found solace in Marlena’s office, where she unloaded the truth about Ava’s kidnapping and EJ’s involvement. The realization that she had been focused on the wrong crime this whole time hit hard. And just when she thought things couldn’t get worse, Marlena dropped another bombshell—Jada and Shawn had arrested a very confused, possibly not-even-Rafe Rafe.
Cue Belle’s total breakdown. Luckily, Marlena was there with some motherly wisdom, comforting Belle as she fell apart.
Gabi and Kayla Rush for DNA Proof
Gabi knows something is off with Rafe, and she is determined to prove it. Enter Kayla, who was just trying to enjoy dinner plans with Marlena when Gabi stormed in, demanding an emergency DNA test. Gabi was convinced Rafe wasn’t really Rafe—but rather Arnold, back from the dead and playing his usual mind games.

Kayla agreed to fast-track the test, but there was a small problem—they didn’t have Arnold’s DNA to compare it to. Solution? Test it against Rafe’s family members to prove whether or not this supposed Rafe is the real deal. The lab was closed for the night, but Kayla promised to get the results ASAP. Fingers crossed, Salem.
Kristen and EJ Scheme Their Way Out of Trouble
Kristen returned home, fuming that she wasn’t allowed to see her mother, but EJ was too distracted to care. Why? Because Belle had just declared war, and he was not ready for it. Kristen, ever the queen of manipulation, assured him that Ava was no longer a threat because she had handled it. (Why does that sound so ominous?)
EJ wasn’t convinced, though. He knew Belle was a problem, and the last thing he needed was Ava flipping on them both. Kristen, confident in her ability to play people like a game of chess, insisted that Ava wouldn’t do anything to ruin her relationship with Brady. EJ wasn’t sure, but one thing was clear—both Rafe and Arnold had been “neutralized.” What that means exactly? We’re almost afraid to find out.
Brady’s Desperate Plea to Ava
Brady made his way to Ava’s place, dreading the conversation he had to have. He needed to convince her not to press charges against Kristen. Ava, naturally, wasn’t thrilled at the idea of letting Kristen off the hook, especially after what she did to her. But Brady pleaded with her—if Ava exposed Kristen, she’d also be exposing Rachel Blake, and that could cost him his daughter forever.
Ava understood the gravity of the situation but wasn’t about to let Kristen get away unscathed. Brady, caught between wanting justice and needing to protect his daughter, begged her to keep quiet. Ava took a deep breath, and the episode ended on a cliffhanger—will she betray her principles, or will she let Kristen take the fall?
Rafe’s Future Looks Bleak
At the station, Shawn was doing his best to break Rafe—or rather, whoever this man claiming to be Rafe really was. But the suspect wasn’t cracking. Still clueless about Jada, Arnold, and even his own identity, he demanded a lawyer.
Meanwhile, Gabi showed up at Stephanie’s, desperate for an update. Jada broke the news—so far, Arnold was sticking to his amnesia act, and it wasn’t looking like they’d get answers anytime soon. But Gabi had only one thing on her mind: where is the real Rafe?
Who’s About to Get Burned Next?
This episode of Days of Our Lives delivered drama on every level. Rafe—or Arnold?—is tangled up in a massive identity crisis, Belle finally woke up to EJ’s villainy, Kristen and EJ are scrambling to cover their tracks, and Brady is this close to making a deal with the devil (aka Ava).
And with the DNA results pending and Ava sitting on a decision that could change everything, you just know the next episode is going to be explosive.
Stay tuned for the next Days of Our Lives full episode recap!
