The Scoop: Days of our Lives previews, teasers, and spoilers for the Week of August 5, 2019

All's (mostly) fair in love and war

A sneak peek at some of the action that will take place on during the week of August 5, 2019. Be sure to tune in to every weekday to see how everything plays out.

Salem is shown a new Police Commissioner when Eli (formally) accepts the offer from Mayor Jack

Jack may be up one commissioner, but it's his former commish (and scorned wife) who he may need to worry about next

Eve attempts to regroup after her sordid schemes were exposed, and Sarah finds herself regrouping a little, too

Sarah's staggering slip of the tongue continues to send shockwaves through Salem, and Rex is ready to rumble...

Eric meets Rex's fist the hard way when the Brady brothers come to blows over Eric's feelings for Sarah

Rex isn't the only one riled up by Eric and Sarah's duplicity, and that puts Sarah squarely on Kate's bad side (not the place to be)

Rex decides Salem isn't the place for him and hightails it out of town, leaving his life with Sarah behind him

Sarah seems to waste little time in telling Eric exactly how she feels about him, and she hopes he feels the same way

Though uneasy about the way things played out, Eric readily returns Sarah's feelings, which is sure to disappoint an optimistic Xander

Gabi's feelings for Stefan are complicated, as she can't decide if she loves to hate him or hates to love him

Still, Gabi's web of deception runs rampant in the DiMera home, and she uses her new position to her full advantage

Gabi seemingly gets what she wants at a stunned Stefan's expense, but a little guilt might make her rethink her marriage

Temptress "Nicole" finally seduces Brady, leading Kristen to think about letting Brady in on her charade

Overthinking Kristen decides to keep up appearances as Tony continues to waver on his commitment to "Nicole"

In fact, Tony doesn't love a charade and wants to end his sham of a marriage, especially since Anna remains the only woman in his heart

Anna's heart seems to have always beaten for Tony, but things may have changed when she returns to Salem

A terrified Kate believes she's seen another dangerous, not-so-dead DiMera in the form of Andre, and she collapses

Kate eventually learns that she spotted Tony (not Andre) as Hope comes at Kate, expecting to learn a thing or two

Kate attempts to keep up her cover story as a heated Hope interrogates her about her time in the tunnels with Ted

Things begin to boil over when Ted, Kristen, and Tony find themselves in a hot exchange, eventually leading to Ted's untimely death

Cunning as ever, Kristen comes up with a plan to ensure Ted's passing doesn't darken her doorstep...

That is, if Kristen can rid herself of some pesky evidence without being caught by anyone, of course

Kristen expects Ted's demise to do maximum damage, especially to Stefan, who finds the body at a rather inopportune time

A shaken Stefan states his innocence as the Salem police department arrests him for the murder of Ted Laurent

Gabi is shaken up by Stefan's arrest and, though still unsure of her feelings for him, remains sure that her new husband isn't a murderer

Hope is sure that there is more to the case than meets the eye and, with a watchful eye, surprisingly spots some sparkling evidence

John and Hope try to tackle what happened to Ted while Ciara and Ben try to take down Nicole

Wedding fever flourishes in Salem over the summer, but not all marriages will be made in heaven

One once-sweet Salemite child has certainly experienced growing pains (and might become a general pain)

Wicked winds blow a sinful Salemite into town, and they're sure to start more than one scandal

Madness reigns in Salem when one wild (and assumed dead) Salemite returns with a vengeance

It's a homecoming for one Salem hero, but he may bring mystery back to town with him

Just as one sordid scheme seems to be coming to an end, a deadly twist changes everything

The only certainty in Salem is its uncertainty, and certain storylines may not be as they appear

Salem will see the return of two wayward souls, but not everyone will be rolling out the welcome mat for them
