Days of Our Lives on Monday, May 5, is packed with high drama and tension as relationships fray and secrets start to unravel in Salem. From Chanel’s explosive anger at EJ DiMera to Chad desperately trying to sway Cat Greene, plus a risky plan to save Bo Brady, the town is on the brink of chaos.
The episode kicks off with Shawn Brady and Steve Johnson finalizing a daring plan: breaking into a lab to steal a crucial drug Bo Brady needs to survive. It’s a risky move with plenty of chances to go wrong, but these two are determined to save Bo no matter the cost. With danger lurking at every turn, their mission could spiral out of control fast.
Meanwhile, Chanel Dupree DiMera is heartbroken after losing the chance to adopt the baby of Sophia Choi and Tate Black. Frustrated and upset, she directs her anger at EJ, blaming him for planting doubts in Johnny’s mind and ruining her hopes of becoming a mother. This heated confrontation could deepen tensions within the DiMera family and leave emotional scars.
At the same time, Chad DiMera is trying to convince Cat Greene to rethink her charity auction date with EJ. Cat seems indifferent, but Chad suspects EJ might have hidden motives—perhaps trying to buy the hospital or meddle in their lives. With the obvious spark between Cat and Chad, EJ could be plotting a surprise move to bring them closer as a way of repaying Chad for saving his life. But whether Chad sees this as a genuine romantic gesture or manipulation is still uncertain.
