32 minutes - Days of Leo's Lives

Brady's on the phone with Kristen as Ava watches on. Fool that he is, he believes that Rachel is willing to go to therapy. Brady apologizes for what Rachel put Ava through. They kiss.

Snowy outside view of the hospital, Tate arrives for Sophia’s doctor’s appointment. Sophia changed the appointment, not the doctor.

Holly asks Doug-3 to stay. Recap why he is there, money.

Recap of Leo and the sweaty shirt. If you missed yesterday, Leo thinks Javi is Whistleblower, because of the sweatshirt, Marlena talked him off that cliff, but Leo being Leo, he fell anyway.

More Ava and Brady sucking face. Brady points out that they are all alone and Ava’s manager can handle the lunch rush. Brady asks her to come hang around.

Tate is dumber than a box of rocks. The reason the appointment change was made was because Sophia didn’t want her mom to attend. Sophia’s doctor is Dr. Johnson.

Holly hands Doug-3 the envelope. She told Maggie it was for her senior trip to DC. A trip she no longer wants to go on because she will be around her boyfriend and his pregnant ex girlfriend 24/7 and school is already hard enough. (WOW, have school trips gotten expensive, even if Maggie tossed in a couple bucks for spending cash, it still couldn’t be much)

Leo makes up some lame story of talking to B&S wardrobe person about Rochester. They were talking about the eclipse and was in the path of totality, but alas it was cloudy that day. Leo invites everyone for lunch. A double date that Marlena wants no part of, if I read her face correctly.

Brady and Ava crush into each other’s personal space while. Rachel stole the tickets from her dad and resold them. More talk about how sneaky and terrible Rachel is but it’s supposed to be cute. I’m actually waiting for Brady to blame Xander for his influence on Rachel. They kiss and decide to watch a Christmas movie in January as they’ve never done that before.

Kayla meets Sophia. Kayla asks how Sophia's doing? She points her into exam room 2. Kayla wants to talk to Tate. Theresa doesn’t know that she’s to be a grandmother yet. Tate brings Kayla up-to-date speed on all of their previous Sophia and Tate conversations. He's upset Holly is looking outside for male companionship.

Doug-3 is going to pay back Holly so she can go on the trip. He texts the guys and says he has the money,

Leo leaves lunch to go to the potty. Once out of their line of sight, Leo texts Marlena to come meet him at the Salem Inn, NOW. Marlena makes up an excuse and leaves. Javi and Hairy Kerry talk. Leo knows now to get actual proof. They go back and lunch continues. Leo says that Abe and Kate called and they loved his new story idea. Leo gives the pitch, one of B&S folks will be possessed by the devil. There is more but no one cares.

Tate whines to Kayla about Holly seeing Doug-3. He believes he has messed up and he has messed up badly. Kayla praises Tate for being with Sophia. She leaves to do the initial exam then they will call him in.

Holly and Doug-3 argue over Holly wanting to be there. Holly won’t take no for an answer. She has a deep understanding of thugs and thuggery. She promises to stay at the K-Mansion, Doug-3 leaves.

Brady and Ava have finished their movie. They sit and kiss on the couch. (that was a fast 90 minutes) Kristen knocks on the door, Brady opens it and Kristen walks in screaming for Rachel. Apparently, Rachel is missing, her backpack and stuffed snake are missing too.

Leo goes into the Devil possession story. Javi is not on board. But it’s ripped from the headlines.

Guess what, Holly followed Doug-3 to the park. Thug 1 sees Holly and won’t let her leave.

Tate joins the exam when they are doing an ultrasound. The heartbeat is strong and regular, and it looks like a baby.

Kerry and Javi leave lunch. The only 4 people who know about the new storyline for B&S are Kerry, Javi, Marlena and Leo. The waters have been chummed.

All of Rachel’s friends have been called and the house has been scoured, still no Rachel.

Parents-to-be talk about the appointment (Tate takes Sophia's hand as they look at the ultrasound screen).

Thug 1 takes the money. Holly orders him out of her sight. Thug 1 leaves. Holly thinks everything is over, that Doug-3 is free and clear.

Javi and Hairy Kerry are going to adult at Rafe’s house. Javi heads up to the bedroom while Kerry pulls out his computer and starts typing.

Leo reads what Kerry wrote, it’s a total bash on what Re-Ron must have heard, it’s been done before, insulting, not original. Leo thinks he now has Kerry.

Javi is undressed, thinking of his time with Leo. Hairy Kerry joins him, kissing and stuff follow.

Brady gets off the phone, he called the police, they need to go to the mansion to fill out paperwork and get scent items for the dogs. Kristen thinks the police are just stalling, they should be looking for Rachel. Ava offers to help, but it’s all Ava’s fault because she wormed her way into their lives. (What da' hell, Kristen??) Screaming match happens and Marlena walks in. Brady tells her Rachel is missing.

In the town square, no snow, roof must be closed, and Sophia sits with a jacket draped over her shoulders with cute peasant blouse underneath. Must be a warm blouse. Sophia's drinking a soda, begging Tate to not tell her mom (about not drinking something healthy). They took 4 vials of blood (OH NO, 4 vials). Sophia looks at her ultrasound picture. Holly overhears them talking about the baby and joins them. She looks at the picture and says well, that’s a baby.

Doug-3 calls Leo, he needs to find a job in Salem. He needs to get the necklace back to Julie.

Javi and Kerry are in bed when Leo walks in to expose Lady Whistleblower once and for all.
 
Thank you, Robin! I happen to like Leo, even though it has been "his" show recently.

Will add more later, but just a quick thought that Holly was foolish to go to the park, because now the creep knows what she looks like and can look for her around town, and if he finds out that she lives in K-Mansion, he might kidnap her for ransom. Just saying.
 
I did think it was kind of funny for Leo to make up the possession storyline while Marlena was sitting there, and saying the devil would jump into her twin grandchildren. Then told Javi and skeevy Kerry that Marlena actually was possessed by the devil twice, and she sort of choked on her drink.
 
So is Kayla OB/GYN? Crazy.

Kristen, your child (which I still hate that you have) is unruly and devious because she watches you.

Holly is an idiot. I knew she would follow Doug, but to be telling off the guy that beat him up? I can't believe he just walked away. I don't want to say what I'm afraid might happen now.

So Kerry spent the night before but they didn't have sex. Guess I didn't pay enough attention. Glad Lady Whistleblower is exposed. He was pretty stupid for doing it immediately. But enough.

I like Brady & Ava. Kristen is the worst and needs to get over obsession with Brady. He does not want you.
 
So is Kayla OB/GYN? Crazy.
It depends on the story, doesn't it?

Sarah was a thyroid cancer specialist.

Dr. Greene is a DNA whiz or ER doc or whatever.

And Kayla gets to be chief of staff too.

Personally, I'd like a story with the Small Bar waiter and anyone.
 
Thanks for the summary.

I guess this episode was a bit more bearable than some of the other ones this week. Of course, that isn't saying much. It really has become the Leo Show, and he really needs to be given a break from airtime once this Lady W stuff has blown over. Poor Marlena for being saddled with such crap, although I guess she could use the distraction from John, and I should just be glad she's getting airtime.

I like Tate and Sophia. I like Dougie & Holly. Put those two couples together, for some time at least.

I like Brady and Ava too. Kristen needs to put the bratty daughter in military school and leave town for good.
 
Thanks @robinsnest. I am confident your recap is better than the show which I'm avoiding because I'm allergic to Leo. Naturally this will continue Monday so Days of Our Leo will still be on.

When did Brady and Ava graduate to kissing? Last time I saw them it was just chaste hugs.

The teen stuff sounds better than the Leo stuff. But anything would.
 
Kayla seems to fill in wherever needed. I guess they can't afford to hire someone else to portray an OB/GYN.

When Tate took Sophia's hand during the ultrasound, they sure seemed like a couple. I think they could work. Same with Holly and Doug. Guessing he is maybe five years older, but definite chemistry.

Poor Marlena, reliving those awful possession days. But Leo's tactic worked.

So how did Leo get into the Hernandez home?

Javi is so not over Leo the same way Stephanie is so not over Alex. They shouldn't love the one they're with, they should love the one they want!

I like Brady and Ava so far. I hope he doesn't suggest their first sleepover be in the townhouse.

Kristen is delusional. Rachel left because she didn't want to go to therapy.

Why didn't they look in the tunnels, specifically, check every room? Duh plot, duh plot. Then they would find Rafe.
 
I like Tate and Sophia too. Because the actor is so clearly not a teen the scenes are less uncomfortable. The current pairings of this and Holly and Doug work far better for me.

Also like Brady and Ava. Sure she's been with his dad but so has Kristen. I saw someone post that this story would work far better with Melinda in the Ava position. She's Asian, lost a daughter, has never slept with any of Brady's family. I'd have loved to see her get a more prominent story.
 
Kayla is a top-to-bottom physician. Not only is she an OB/GYN, she can also treat your bunions, heartburn, and infected sinuses. Once again, the writers attempted to ruin everyone’s digestion with Javi-Kerry bedroom scenes. They just have no mercy. Holly is now officially an idiot. Rumor has it that the Las Vegas oddsmakers make her a favorite to come to grief. Finally, now that Salem’s own Nancy Drew , Leo, has outed hairy lowlife Kerry as Lady W., what’s he going to do — send angry Abe and the Carver twins to deliver an “or-else” message?
 
Thanks, robin.

The people in Salem need to learn to lock their doors.

Kerry seems possessive. He went after Javi because he wanted to go slow and Kerry wants things
to go his way.

We found out today Rachel took the Nutcracker tickets and sold them. How much did she get? She
might enough to buy her own phone.

Poor Marlena. Leo came up with the possession story for B&S. Then told Javi and Kerry she was possessed.
Now Lady W put it in the column.

Leo's plan worked. He knows Kerry is Lady W. Will we learn how Kerry learned so much to put in the column?
 
I really can't get over how dumb Kerry was here but at least we're getting to the end of this. I only wish Javi was involved so Kerry and Javi could run off together. Leo needs a more age appropriate adult acting guy.
