Days of our Lives spoilers for Monday, August 25 pick up Friday’s cliffhanger with Brady confronting Kristen in jail, wanting to know what the heck just happened, while Marlena comforts Rachel, all the while knowing exactly what just happened.

Brady Confronts Kristen

Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) confessed to shooting EJ in order to protect Rachel (Alice Halsey), the real culprit. EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) knows, and Marlena (Deidre Hall) knows, but Kristen doesn’t want anyone else to know. This includes Brady (Eric Martsolf).

Brady, for his part, has lots of questions for his baby mama. Starting with: How could Kristen do this to Rachel? Since Kristen can’t explain that she’s doing this FOR Rachel (in her mind, anyway), she’ll have to come up with more lies to cover the other lies. Good thing she’s a pro.

Meanwhile, Marlena has to calm down her granddaughter, reassuring her that her mommy loves her and that she isn’t a bad person. Without being able to explain how she knows. That doesn’t seem very psychologically helpful—for anyone.

EJ Throws Chad Off the Scent

Chad (Billy Flynn) is covering Johnny’s (Carson Boatman) trial. And Kristen’s confession is obviously big news. Since the new shooter is Chad’s sister, he goes to his brother, the victim, for clarification. But EJ isn’t about to confess, not even to family. So he hedges and denies. Which, for EJ, is basically just another day.

And this is even before EJ finds out that Cat (AnnaLynne McCord), the woman Chad is kind of circling, is actually a secret agent out to bring down the DiMeras. While EJ snows Chad, Cat delivers all her intel to Rafe (Galen Gering).

Leo And Gwen Have a Frosty Run-in

Leo (Greg Rikaart) is free from jury duty! Now he can return to his regular life. This includes Gwen (Emily O’Brien), who still does not want to forgive him. Dude really needs to let his one go. He slept with his best friend’s husband. Gwen has every right to never speak to him again. And Leo needs to accept that.
