On Thursday’s episode of Days of Our Lives (May 15), the stakes couldn’t be higher as a critical drug theft threatens Bo Brady’s life. Meanwhile, tender moments and heated confrontations add layers of emotion and tension throughout Salem.
At the hospital, Kevin Lambert sneaks into Dr. Jeffrey Russell’s lab while the doctor is away at a conference. In a devastating move, Kevin steals an entire tray of Versavix—the miracle drug that Bo desperately needs to fight a severe sepsis infection. Just as Kevin sets the wheels for disaster, Steve Johnson and Shawn Brady break into the lab and are horrified to find the drug missing. Whether Kevin destroyed the vials or simply took them, the loss is catastrophic. Since it takes months to replicate the formula, Bo’s chances of survival hang by a thread.
Meanwhile, Philip Kiriakis, also eager to save Bo, runs into Xander in the town square. The two face off, with Xander laying bare his feelings—possibly softening the tension—just before the bad news about Kevin’s theft shakes things up again, threatening to undo any progress made toward saving Bo.
Elsewhere, Kayla Johnson waits anxiously for news from Steve and Shawn’s secret mission and seeks comfort from Marlena Evans. Marlena, in turn, shares her own worries about John Black, creating a touching moment of solidarity between the two women.
At Titan-DiMera, Paulina Price tries to make amends by bringing treats from Sweet Bits to apologize to Xander after a previous allergic reaction incident involving Sarah. Meanwhile, Stephanie Johnson rethinks Alex Kiriakis’ publishing offer for her novel One Stormy Night—her hesitation might be fading as she considers the opportunity.
On a sweeter note, Tate Black surprises Sophia Choi with a special gift for her 18th birthday. Though missing prom disappoints her, the intimate celebration lifts her spirits. Now a legal adult, Sophia is more determined than ever to challenge Amy Choi and take control of her adoption plans, though her newfound assertiveness could spark even more conflict.
With Bo’s fate teetering on the edge, emotional reunions unfolding, and family tensions rising, Thursday’s episode promises heart-pounding drama and powerful moments. Will one reckless act seal Bo’s destiny? And can love and forgiveness still find their way through the chaos in Salem? Tune in to Days of Our Lives to find out.
