Since JJ has a birthday celebration on the way, he’ll be thrilled to welcome his parents back to Salem.

JJ will also have a run-in with Gwen von Leuschner (Emily O’Brien) in the town square, so that could bring a party invite if he tries to be nice.

Jack will also bump into Gwen and apparently try to convince her to come to the bash, but Gwen won’t think she’s truly wanted there.

Although Gwen will rant about everyone hating her, Jack will insist he doesn’t feel that way.

It’s true that Jack has some issues with Gwen, but she’s still his daughter and family means something to him.

Gwen and Jack will teeter on the edge of fixing their broken bond, but more tension will pull them apart in the end.

Other Days spoilers say Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) will fret over Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord), so this may involve more concerns about her new job working for EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel).

Chad knows EJ is a magnet for trouble, so he won’t want Cat getting in over her head.

Of course, Chad doesn’t realize Cat intentionally sought out this job to spy on EJ for his takedown.

This is all part of Cat’s joint ISA and FBI investigation with Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering), so she’ll continue to deceive Chad about that.

Chad will also worry about how Abigail DiMera’s (Marci Miller) loved ones will react to the news of his romance with Cat, but he may think he’s some time before they find out.

However, Chad could be wrong about that if Rachel Black (Alice Halsey) breaks her promise and perhaps spills to Thomas DiMera (Cary Christopher) about the kiss she witnessed.

Thomas might blab to Grandpa Jack about Chad and Cat locking lips.

Then again, it could be Chad who blurts out an admission instead, especially if Jack starts ranting about Cat on Friday’s DOOL episode.

Chad might rush to Cat’s defense and admit they’re more than friends.

Whatever the case, there’ll indeed be some drama waiting for Jack and Jennifer once they return to Salem.

JJ’s birthday party will include Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes) and Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) as well, so stay tuned for some fun scenes.

At the pub on Friday’s Days show, Sophia Choi (Rachell Boyd) will hand over a copy of the adoption papers like Tate Black (Leo Howard) requested.

Days spoilers say Sophia will count on Melinda Trask (Tina Huang) to make everything look legit despite this adoption being bogus.

Unfortunately, Tate’s about to uncover another lie and voice his concerns to Brady Black (Eric Martsolf).

Both Steve and Brady will examine those adoption papers, so they’ll realize something else is amiss as they investigate.

Days of Our Lives spoilers say Sophia will scramble to make some strategy updates as this storyline gets more complicated!
