Days of our Lives spoilers for Thursday, July 3, give Brady a break from listening to Kristen lecture him about Rachel by giving him the chance to lecture Sarah about Xander.

Next on Days of our Lives

Brady (Eric Martsolf) has never liked his cousin/uncle Xander (Paul Telfer). He’d love to see him in prison for beating up Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier). But if Philip isn’t going to cooperate, well, then, the next best thing for Brady would be to see Xander dumped by Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) and forbidden from seeing his baby daughter, Victoria.

And if Sarah isn’t committing to the program, Brady is happy to encourage her to do whatever she has to, to protect herself and Victoria from Xander. For her sake, of course. Brady will be here to support her. And maybe give her some pointers.

The Other Side

Maggie (Suzanne Rogers) likes Xander. Probably more than most people in Salem. But she is, nonetheless, Team Sarah all the way.

And when Xander tries to remind Maggie how much she likes him, and how happy she was to have him as a son-in-law and her granddaughter’s father, Maggie isn’t there for it. She claps back, making Xander realize he may have no allies left to help with reuniting his family.

Looking Ahead

While Sophia (Rachel Boyd) does her best to ensure their mutual futures by discussing her baby’s adoption plan with Melinda (Tina Huang), Tate (Leo Howard) is kissing up to Holly (Ashley Puzemis), so that his ex-girlfriend becomes his girlfriend again.

So now the self-described star-crossed lovers are reunited, and they feel so good. How does Sophia feel? Oh, who cares? She’s busy with her baby drama. She probably has no time to worry about normal, teen stuff. They’re doing her a favor, not bothering her. She should thank them, really.
