The April 8th episode of Days of Our Lives was filled with intense drama and high emotions, as tensions in Salem continued to rise. Tate’s explosive confrontation with Doug at the Kiriakis estate was the central moment of the episode, fueled by Tate’s jealousy and insecurities. After hearing from Sophia that Tate had visited Holly following their breakup, Tate became convinced that something was going on between Doug and Holly, especially when he found Doug in Holly’s room in just his underwear. The heated argument escalated into a physical altercation when Tate punched Doug, with Holly arriving just in time to witness the aftermath.
Holly quickly dismissed Tate, insisting nothing had happened, but the damage had been done. Tate, now questioning his relationship with Holly, later confided in Sophia that his actions may have cost him any chance at reconciliation with her. Meanwhile, Sophia and Tate were still dealing with the adoption process, and although Amy Choi was initially hesitant, she seemed open to the idea, especially with EJ being in a coma after being shot.
The episode also highlighted the ongoing chaos surrounding EJ’s shooting, with Gabi and Kristen arguing over who was responsible. Brady and Belle shared a poignant moment as they processed their conflicting feelings about EJ, with Brady offering Belle comfort despite their own complicated history. JJ and Shawn were actively investigating the shooting, while Gabi feared the consequences of being involved in the situation.
With the investigation intensifying and emotions running high, it looks like Salem is in for even more twists and turns in the coming episodes.
