Days of our Lives spoilers for Wednesday, November 12, demonstrate what happens when Sami tries to play nice. Even Marlena has a tough time adjusting.

Key Takeaways

• Sami has plans for Johnny, Chanel, and Trey.
• Marlena is overwhelmed.
• Abe runs his concerns by Lani.

Next on DAYS

Sami (Alison Sweeney, who shared a great BTS) is a grandma again, and that’s an important milestone to celebrate. She decides to throw a baby shower for Chanel (Raven Bowens) and Johnny (Carson Boatman) so they can get everything they need for baby John Paul, a.k.a. Trey. She’s inviting everyone in Salem who can put up with her. This, of course, includes Marlena (Deidre Hall). Marlena has been there for her grandson and his wife, and she is truly delighted by Baby T.

But seeing her entire family together only reminds Marlena of who isn’t there. The original John (Drake Hogestyn), the one both Johnny and his new son are named after. She wants to feel nothing but joy, but her grief is overwhelming, and Marlena comes close to collapse. Standing by as Sami and Belle (Martha Madison) snark over EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) doesn’t exactly help.

All in the Family

Theo (Tyler Joseph Andrews) is the new CEO of DiMera Enterprises. He’s a big boy now! Look at him wearing a suit, sitting behind a desk, and using big, corporate words. We think he looks like a little kid playing dress up.

But Abe (James Reynolds) thinks his precious boy is making a deal with the devil. Abe was furious when Paulina (Jackée Harry) encouraged Theo to go with this new professional move, and despite playing nice, it’s obvious he hasn’t yet forgiven her. Lani (Sal Stowers) picks up on her parents’ tension, and Abe confides in his daughter. Considering that Paulina has done much worse to Lani, we expect she’ll tell Abe to forgive her.

Paulina does what she feels, often without stopping to think. And those who love her just need to get on board with that.
