As a power-hungry Andre continues to con Kate and the rest of his family, Andre and Vivian celebrate their success so far

Andre, Vivian, and Stefan are not a lot that should easily be trusted (and shouldn't trust each other), as each may have their own agenda

A determined Abigail wants to get the naked truth on Stefan, but things get uneasy when one catches the other actually naked

Though Abigail interrogates Stefan, Chas employs the men of Black Patch, hoping their expertise will expose Stefan's mysterious past

Anna also has a request of Black Patch, but Steve's strange sickness may prevent him from cracking the case

Still, Steve remains stoic and especially doesn't want to worry his Sweetness, Kayla, with his mysterious medical malady

Miscommunication makes Jennifer fear Eric isn't so sweet on her, so she says, "Yes!" to a date with a doctor

Gabi has the sweetest time with Eli toasting to what's ahead, but certainly doesn't feel the same about her time with Stefan...

Working with Stefan isn't something that Gabi's looking forward to, particularly after their first tumultuous day

Chloe's more than a little forward when she demands to know what's going on between Eve and Brady

As Eve tries to assure Chloe about Brady, Brady believes he has Eve right where he wants her, but Victor isn't so sure

Worried that Brady is falling for another baddie, Victor is all ears when Brady spills the beans on his tactic to destroy Eve

Victor and Brady "battle" it out again, but Eve might not be so easily fooled by their rowdy ruse

Bygone mles are remembered when Vivian visits Brady and Eve, and to say he's unhappy to see her is an understatement

While Brady and Vivian exchange unpleasantries, Will attempts to make things right with Maggie

Attempting to clear the air, Rafe prepares to tell Hope the truth about his tryst with Sami but doesn't exactly spill the scandalous secret

Though she attempted to put her night with Eli behind her, Lani is sidelined when she learns she's going to be a mother

A conflicted Lani realizes that the father of her baby is up for debate and wonders what she should do about her newfound condition

Considering an abortion, Lani reaches out to Kayla, but news of the baby also reaches J.J., who is ecstatic about the chance to be a dad

J.J. has his own breaking news as he's ready to resign from the Salem P.D., a decision he reaches due to Theo's worsening condition

With Theo's health still in peril, it's decided that a new treatment would be in his best interest; unfortunately it's far from Salem

The stakes continue to be high for the DiMera Enterprises prize, and Vivian might be in the know after overhearing Chad and John discuss strategy

Roman's exes Anna and Kate get catty with one another while Eli and Gabi get a little closer

DAYS head writer teases a rather outrageous year ahead

Steve finds himself having a serious affliction, but the cause might be more sinister than expected

Vivian slithers into Salem with a shocking revelation that upsets an already disorderly dynasty forever

The murder of a well-known Salemite causes turmoil for the Salem PD as they search for the assailant, hopefully before they strike again

The new year brings new problems for a Salem couple who seemingly has it all, but some "happily ever afters" aren't meant to last

While Will wants to be with Sonny, Paul's draw might be too strong to resist (again)

The return of a Salem troublemaker may make one man's life a living hell all over again

When one Salemite ends up pregnant, she quickly realizes the baby belongs to a man other than her heart's desire

Since Ciara knows about Sami and Rafe's tryst, she puts her soon-to-be stepfather in the hot seat, but the beans might be spilled by the time "I dos" are exchanged

Jennifer and Eric's hesitations to succumb to their feelings for one another may push one of them into someone else's arms

As many still wonder if Andre has changed, Kate may change her mind (and heart) about him
