Days of Our Lives Spoilers for August 24–28: Jack Returns, Holly Explodes at EJ, and Stephanie Makes a Dangerous Mistake
Days of Our Lives launches a dramatic new week from August 24 through August 28 with family reunions, romantic complications, buried secrets, and several confrontations that could change Salem relationships for good.
Jack Deveraux returns to town with Thomas and Charlotte, EJ DiMera finds himself under pressure from multiple directions, Stephanie Johnson appears poised to make a costly mistake, and Johnny and Chanel choose a meaningful name for their newborn daughter.
Here is what may be coming next.
Cat’s Hypnosis Could Unlock a Major EJ Secret
Monday begins with Cat returning to Marlena for another hypnosis session.
Marlena guides her back to the mysterious clinic in Italy, asking Cat to remember what happened after she finished reading to EJ.
That memory could become extremely important.
One possibility is that Cat discovers she and EJ once shared a deeper emotional or romantic connection than either has publicly acknowledged. Another is that Cat uncovers evidence that she was already manipulating EJ on Clyde Weston’s behalf.
Either way, her recovered memories could dramatically change the way she sees EJ—and herself.
Meanwhile, Johnny and Chanel are celebrating their newborn baby girl.
The couple chooses a meaningful name for their daughter, and there is speculation they may honor Johnny’s late aunt Lexi by naming the baby Alexandra.
The timing would be especially emotional because Abe and Theo are also mourning Lexi.
Theo receives a letter from his mother, accompanied by a voiceover from Lexi, giving the episode an especially sentimental connection to the DiMera and Carver families.
Jack Deveraux Returns to Salem
Tuesday brings Jack Deveraux back to Salem.
He arrives with Thomas and Charlotte, who have both been recast, and returns the children to their father, Chad.
Chad is thrilled to have them home after their summer with Jack and Jennifer, but the reunion may quickly become complicated.
Julie questions Chad about his plans, possibly because he is considering leaving for Italy soon after his children return.
If Jack learns that Chad is preparing to leave town almost immediately, he may not be impressed.
Jack also reaches out to Gwen.
Gwen has always struggled with family and acceptance, so seeing Jack make another effort to reconnect with her could become one of the week’s more emotional moments.
A family reunion involving Jack, Gwen, and JJ may finally allow Gwen to experience something she has rarely had: a genuine sense of belonging.
Elsewhere, Gabi gives Javi advice about Leo, while Xander listens to a proposal from Philip.
Philip may ask Xander to delay making a final decision about the mansion sale while he attempts one last desperate move involving the Monte Carlo poker game.
Stephanie and Theo Could Cross a Dangerous Line
Wednesday may bring serious trouble for Stephanie and Alex.
Stephanie has been growing increasingly frustrated with her husband and tells Alex that they cannot continue living this way.
The tension becomes even more dangerous when Stephanie turns to Theo for emotional support.
Theo is grieving Lexi.
Stephanie is angry, jealous, and emotionally vulnerable.
That combination could lead to a major mistake.
If the two begin drinking or spending too much time together, they could cross a line that Stephanie later deeply regrets.
That possibility becomes even more concerning because comments from Robert Scott Wilson have teased that Stephanie—not Alex—may ultimately be responsible for an upcoming relationship disaster.
If Stephanie pushes Alex too far, she could unintentionally drive him straight toward Joy.
Meanwhile, Abe receives help from Roman as he honors Lexi, while Cat begins questioning EJ about what she remembers from Italy.
Her questions could make EJ increasingly uncomfortable if her recovered memories involve him personally.
Holly Confronts EJ in a Furious Showdown
Thursday could belong to Holly.
Thanks to Sarah, Holly learns that EJ was allegedly connected to the cover-up involving Coral and that he planted pills in her bag.
Holly is furious.
She confronts her former stepfather, and this may become one of EJ’s most difficult conversations of the week.
Holly may never forgive him if she believes he deliberately put her in danger to protect himself.
Whether EJ admits the truth is another matter entirely.
Given his history, he may deny everything or attempt to manipulate the situation.
EJ also makes a tense phone call and orders action involving George Howerin and the Coral situation, suggesting he is still trying to contain the fallout.
At the same time, Paulina gives Johnny a serious warning.
She may want him to tell Chanel the truth about what he knew regarding Lexi.
Ari also overhears a disturbing conversation, which could connect to the ongoing Gabi Chic design theft mystery.
If she hears the wrong person discussing the stolen designs, another Salem secret may soon be exposed.
Jack and Steve Reconnect as Chad Faces EJ
Friday brings a long-awaited reunion between Jack and Steve.
The brothers have plenty to discuss.
Jack has missed major developments involving Lexi, Gwen, Alex, the new baby, and the ongoing chaos surrounding the DiMeras.
Their conversation could provide both emotional reflection and important clues about what comes next.
Meanwhile, EJ questions Chad about Stefano’s chess set.
That suddenly raises another mystery.
Why is EJ interested in the chess set now?
If Chad and Belle are investigating something connected to Stefano, EJ’s curiosity could suggest that he knows more than he is saying.
Xander also receives comfort from Sarah as he struggles emotionally with the possibility of losing the mansion.
Despite Sarah’s current relationship with Brady, the connection between Sarah and Xander remains difficult to ignore.
Their emotional closeness may once again create romantic complications.
Kate also asks Ariana for a favor, potentially involving something she does not want Roman to discover.
And Belle receives a special keepsake from Marlena, adding another emotional family moment to the end of the week.
Salem Is Entering a New Era of Secrets and Betrayals
The week of August 24 could set several major stories in motion.
Jack’s return may reshape Chad and Gwen’s family lives.
Cat’s recovered memories could expose a shocking connection to EJ.
Holly’s confrontation may create a permanent break with her former stepfather.
Stephanie could make the mistake that changes her marriage forever.
And Stefano’s mysterious chess set may pull Chad, Belle, and EJ into an even bigger DiMera secret.
With new children in town, old family wounds reopening, and multiple relationships reaching breaking points, Days of Our Lives appears ready to begin Season 62 with plenty of chaos.
Do you think Stephanie will cross the line with Theo? And what secret do you think Cat is about to remember about EJ?
