The next Days of Our Lives episode on May 20 promises plenty of drama and heart. Ari Horton’s sudden return has everyone on alert—especially Gabi, who senses Ari’s hiding something bigger than just a homecoming. With her birthday approaching, the timing feels more than a little suspicious.
Meanwhile, the long-smoldering tension between Gabi and JJ Deveraux flares up again, this time over a hospital auction date with Alex Kiriakis that stokes JJ’s jealousy. Their volatile dynamic could either crack open a path toward reconciliation or deepen the divide.
On a more tender note, Shawn Brady and Belle Black reconnect in a meaningful way, as Shawn seeks support over Bo Brady’s health and the enigmatic Versavix treatment. Their conversation might revive old feelings or simply remind them of the bond they still share.
In Salem’s web of shifting alliances, EJ DiMera turns to Paulina Price for help with his son Johnny, setting the stage for an uneasy but necessary partnership despite their past differences.
And Javi Hernandez finds a confidant in Leo Stark, opening up about the pressures weighing on him—and Salem’s never-ending drama.
With secrets ready to spill and emotions running high, this episode is shaping up to be a must-watch for fans. Salem’s drama just keeps getting richer and more complex.
