Days of our Lives kept fans on their toes this week with some unexpected and surprising moments. Here’s a look at some of the best ones from November 3-7.

Key Takeaways

• Baby T’s adoption was front and center.
• The alliance DAYS fans never expected.
• Susan’s got another bad feeling, and it hits close to home.
• Chad’s worst nightmare.

A Moment Fans Didn’t See Coming

This week was all about Baby T’s adoption, but the moment that kicked it all off had us in our feels. In true soap fashion, Johnny (Carson Boatman), Chanel (Raven Bowens), Leo (Greg Rikaart), and Javi (Al Calderon) were all at the bookstore when the news came in.

Despite this being a dream come true for Chanel and Johnny, they also realized the heartbreak it would cause Javi and Leo. Johnny and Chanel hugged the two men in a touching moment that kicked off an emotional week.

Honoring John Black

Johnny and Chanel are keeping John Black’s (Drake Hogesytn) legacy alive by naming their son after him. Calling the little guy Trey is a nod to keeping the ‘T’ from Tesoro, while also honoring John.

We had tears in our eyes watching them reveal the news to Marlena (Diedre Hall), Belle (Martha Madison), and Paulina (Jackée Harry). This moment deserves a shout-out, but as SoapHub reported, DAYS delivered a powerful episode tackling adoption.

Susan’s Got Rachel’s Number

There’s no question that Susan (Stacy Haiduk) isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but we find her entertaining. Right after Rachel’s (Alice Halsey) Halloween pumpkin fiasco with Thomas (Cary Christopher), Susan creeped out the little girl.

Rachel has been going rogue for months. Susan clocked her naughtiness and gave her a warning. Susan and Rachel’s banter was hilarious, but the look on Rachel’s face as Susan declared Marlena was not well was priceless, and a side of her we don’t often see.

Honest Abe Turns To EJ For Help

Never in a million years did we ever think Abe (James Reynolds) would form an alliance with EJ (Daniel Feuerriegel). Here we are, though, thanks to Theo (Tyler Joseph Andrews).

Abe is so desperate to get Theo away from DiMera Enterprises that he went to EJ for help. Their back and forth was great. However, Abe declaring he wants to keep Theo from learning, “his mother’s family eats their own,” was laugh-out-loud funny.

What Happened To Thomas?

Once again, DAYS gave fans a classic soap Friday cliffhanger. After spotting Chad (Billy Flynn) with Cat (AnnaLynne McCord) again, Thomas lost it on his father.

Thomas then ran away, and viewers heard a car accident sound as Chad and Jennifer (Melissa Reeves) screamed in horror. It was a chilling moment that is likely setting the stage for Flynn and Christopher’s exit. Fans will have to wait until next week to find out what happened, making the cliffhanger more exciting.

This week’s honorable mention goes to Gwen (Emily O’Brien) and Leo, reminiscing about their friendship, knowing it’s all part of her scheme to get him out of town.

Another honorable mention goes to the return of the infamous Dr. Rolf (Richard Wharton), which will no doubt spell serious trouble for Salem.
