Tuesday on Days of Our Lives, Steve and Marlena strong-arm Shane into coughing up intel, Xander gets an earful at the worst possible moment, and Joy struggles with a secret that could ruin Alex’s world. This episode of DOOL is serving up espionage, betrayal, and some seriously bad decisions.

Steve and Marlena Take No Prisoners
Steve and Marlena have landed in Washington, D.C., and they’re done playing nice. After plotting their next moves in a hotel room like they’re auditioning for the next Mission Impossible, they decide to take a direct approach—barging into Shane’s office like it’s their own personal interrogation room. Shane, already having a bad day avoiding Theresa’s calls, is in no mood for their antics.

But Marlena isn’t just anyone, and she makes it clear she will get her answers. While Shane tries to play the “classified information” card, Steve is fresh out of patience. Eventually, Marlena’s heartfelt plea gets Shane to spill the beans: John’s last known location was Estonia. Looks like a European adventure is on the horizon.
Xander and Theresa: The Feud Continues
Meanwhile, over in Horton Square, Xander bumps into Theresa, and let’s just say he is not thrilled. Still fuming from her past betrayals, he makes it clear that she’s persona non grata in his world. Theresa tries to put on her best Oops, my bad face, but Xander’s having none of it.

Oh, and she just had to remind him that Philip is now his business partner. Xander insists everything is peachy with Philip—but let’s be real, even he doesn’t believe that. Before storming off, he lays down the law: Theresa is to stay far away from Maggie, Sarah, and Victoria. Considering her track record, that’s a fair request.
Stephanie’s Nightmare Turned Reality?

| Stephanie has a nightmare starring Joy | DOOL |
Stephanie’s morning starts off rough—she wakes up from a nightmare where Joy is standing at her door, pregnant, and claiming Alex is the father. A classic DOOL move. Luckily, it was just a dream, but Stephanie can’t shake the feeling that disaster is looming. (Hint: It is.)
She and Alex try to reassure themselves that life is finally going their way. But given that this is Days, that’s basically an invitation for the universe to slap them with some reality.
Joy’s Big Secret—and Philip’s Questionable Advice
Joy, still reeling from her pregnancy test results, is trying (and failing) to keep a low profile at the Titan offices. Philip, being his nosy self, picks up on her stress but assumes it’s just office drama. She vaguely hints at being a “problem” for Alex and Stephanie, but Philip waves her concerns away, insisting she shouldn’t be the one feeling guilty.
Too bad Joy actually has something to feel guilty about. And that secret? It’s about to come out in the worst way possible.
Roman Offers Kayla Some Tough Love
Back at the pub, Roman and Kayla discuss the hospital fundraiser, though let’s be real—Kayla’s main concern is Steve’s reckless mission. She knows firsthand what it’s like to be left in the dark, waiting for bad news. And the way things are shaping up, bad news is practically knocking on the door.
Stephanie shows up just in time for Roman to throw in a little side-eye about her love life. Because let’s face it, if Alex Kiriakis is involved, drama is guaranteed.
The Eavesdropping Disaster: Xander Hears Everything
In a deliciously DOOL twist, Xander just happens to be in the right (or wrong) place at the right time. While hiding behind a tree like a budget James Bond, he overhears a tense conversation between Philip and Stephanie. And let’s just say—secrets don’t stay secret for long in Salem.

Philip makes sure Stephanie is still keeping her mouth shut about that little forgery incident. She’s clearly over this whole “protecting Alex from the truth” thing, but for now, she stays silent. Big mistake—because Xander now knows everything. And you know he’s not the type to keep juicy info to himself.
The Final Bombshells
Alex, completely oblivious to the storm brewing, runs into Joy at the Titan office. After his less-than-stellar reaction to her pregnancy news, he tries to make amends. But just as he’s about to walk away, Joy stops him—because she has something important to tell him.
Meanwhile, Steve and Marlena prepare to jet off to Estonia, convinced Shane is still hiding something. And they’re absolutely right—because as soon as they leave, Shane calls Theresa. And whatever he has to say? It’s devastating.
Final Thoughts
This week DOOL is giving us everything: international espionage, secret pregnancies, overheard conversations, and enough betrayal to fuel all five daytime soaps. If Tuesday’s Days of Our Lives full episode recap tells us anything, it’s that nothing stays buried forever—especially when Xander is lurking in the shadows.
Stay tuned, because this drama is far from over.
