If you thought Monday’s "Days of Our Lives" episode was a wild ride, Tuesday's "DOOL" recap is serving you drama hotter than Tate with his shirt off. Marlena and Steve get their hands on a cinematic clue, Jada drops a truth bomb that shatters Rafe, and EJ proves once again that he’s the king of manipulation. Let’s dive into the mess, shall we?

Jada’s Confession Leaves Rafe Gasping for Air
Jada clearly doesn’t believe in sugarcoating because she sits Rafe down and drops the mother of all confessions: “I slept with another man.” Oh, but she’s not done. She lets that marinate in the air, watching Rafe process it before hitting him with the full truth—Shawn. Rafe is horrified, because of course it had to be someone they know. And if you thought he was taking this news well, think again. His chair flies back as he jumps up, shouting, “That! Wasn’t! Me!”

| Jada tells Rafe she slept with Shawn | DOOL |
Jada, bless her heart, tries to explain. She was emotionally wrecked, Shawn was just as lost, and things spiraled. But Rafe’s not buying that excuse, convinced that Shawn used her as a pawn in his twisted revenge on Belle. Jada swears that’s not the case, but Rafe is fixated on one thing—why did she wait until now to confess? Trust? Broken. Future? Uncertain. Jada insists she loves him and deserves honesty, but Rafe’s not in the mood for damage control. He storms out, leaving her with nothing but regret and an empty apartment.
Belle Tries to Play EJ, But He’s Always Two Moves Ahead
If Belle thought she could outmaneuver EJ, she clearly forgot who she was dealing with. She shows up at his place, all charm and sultry glances, claiming she missed him. EJ, a man who lives for games, isn’t about to let this slide without a toast and some flirtation. But just as Belle starts spinning a web about trust and honesty, EJ realizes something’s off. She’s working him, trying to squeeze a confession out of him like a detective in stilettos.
Belle, ever the determined lawyer, dangles the promise of a future together—if only EJ would admit he kidnapped Rafe. But EJ? Oh, he’s not that easy. He plays along just long enough to confirm his suspicions before calling her out. “You’re wearing a wire, aren’t you?” He’s smug. He’s amused. And just to prove his point, he challenges her to strip. If she’s not wired, what’s the harm? Belle, now caught in her own trap, is left floundering as EJ reminds her he’ll always be in her head, confession or not. She storms out, but you just know this isn’t over.
Kristen Visits Brady, and It’s as Awkward as You’d Expect
Kristen rolls up to Brady’s, and he immediately calls her out. “Do you actually care about my father being missing, or is this just another game?” Kristen insists she does, but Brady isn’t in the mood for pleasantries. And when Kristen casually drops that their daughter is stuck in a house with EJ, Brady nearly combusts.
Kristen, ever the smooth talker, deflects by mentioning her missing mother and throwing all the blame on EJ. Brady, still reeling from his breakup with Ava (thanks, EJ), doesn’t know what to believe anymore. But Kristen? She’s confident John will return and that she’ll get to the bottom of things. With one last shared look, she’s gone—off to stir up more chaos elsewhere.
Marlena and Steve Go Full Hollywood Thriller
Meanwhile, in the land of action-movie espionage, Steve busts into a shady facility, guns blazing, and finds a man who might be John—or, you know, just another victim of this never-ending nightmare. Marlena’s heart nearly stops when she sees the unconscious figure, but Steve quickly realizes it’s not her husband. Still, the poor guy has enough strength left to mutter one cryptic word before taking his final breath: “Rosebud.” And if that doesn’t scream Citizen Kane levels of mystery, I don’t know what does.

| Marlena & Steve with man who utters "Rosebud" before dying | DOOL |
Paul joins the party, and Marlena spills the Orpheus tea, leading the trio back to the reference room, where they sift through a mess of cryptic documents. And just like that, they strike gold—"Rosebud" is the only clear word in a coded file. Steve sends it off to the ISA, because of course this is about to get even bigger.
Orpheus Attempts Murder (Again), But Paul Isn’t Having It
Over in another corner of chaos, Orpheus proves he’s still a slippery snake. While Andrew’s calling for backup, Orpheus pulls a Houdini, grabs a gun, and aims it right at his captor. And if you thought Andrew had a chance, think again—Orpheus is ready to kill just for fun. That is, until Paul returns and takes him down with a well-timed bullet.
With Orpheus on the ground, Paul demands answers. What does “Rosebud” mean? Orpheus laughs like a villain in a bad action flick, pretending he has no idea. But Paul’s not buying the act and is ready to finish the job. Lucky for Orpheus, Andrew talks Paul down before things get too messy, and the ISA swoops in to take the villain into custody. For now, at least.
Tuesday's Cliffhanger
Marlena calls Brady with a sliver of good news—John is alive, but the danger isn’t over. Belle, back home and exhausted, rips off her wire, realizing she got played hard by EJ. Andrew, still hyped from not getting murdered, keeps Paul from going full vigilante. And Kristen? She stomps back into the house, demanding answers from EJ about her mother. But EJ’s in no mood for sibling bonding and basically tells her to get lost. So, naturally, Kristen does what Kristen does best—pulls out a gun. Because if there’s one thing Salem loves, it’s a dramatic ending.
