reveals that Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) will pull off a swap plot after EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) realizes his captive is gone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Kristen will pose as Susan Banks (Stacy Haiduk) so she can get a message to Rachel Black (Lorelei Olivia Mote), so let\u2019s talk about what\u2019s ahead on Days.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">DOOL\u2019s weekly promo kicks off with Xander Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) and Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) looking like they\u2019re about to kiss.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There\u2019ll be a dangerously close moment thanks to Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) and a little romantic trap he\u2019s about to set.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Over with Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering), he\u2019ll give Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) the news that EJ didn\u2019t kidnap Gwen Rizczech (Emily O\u2019Brien).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was Dimitri von Leuschner (Peter Porte) instead, so Rafe will point the finger at Gwen\u2019s ex-husband.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Alamainia, Days spoilers say Dimitri won\u2019t be interested in reaching any sort of compromise with Leo.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It looks like Dimitri may end up adding Leo as an extra hostage, so Leo and Gwen will have to figure out their next move.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Of course, Rafe will soon be on his way to Alamainia as well, so he\u2019ll do whatever he can to help Gwen and Leo out of this tricky situation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the meantime, EJ and Rita Lesley (Maggie Carney) will be there when Lexie Carver (Nikki Crawford) regains consciousness near the shipping container meant for Kristen, who\u2019ll apparently give EJ the slip.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Days spoilers say Kristen will show off her sneaky side when she goes to see Rachel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">That lines up with DOOL\u2019s weekly preview video, which seemingly shows Kristen posing as Susan and delivering a message.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cSusan\u201d will have something she wants Rachel to know, so stay tuned to hear Kristen\u2019s heartfelt words for her daughter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At the pub, Joy Wesley (AlexAnn Hopkins) will struggle with some sudden, intense arm pain.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Will this be related to Joy\u2019s recent car accident injuries or perhaps a different medical issue?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Either way, Days of Our Lives spoilers say Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) will have to comfort Joy once she gets some crushing information soon.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">CDL will have other great <a href=\"https:\/\/www.celebdirtylaundry.com\/category\/soap-opera\/days-of-our-lives-soap-opera\/\">Days of Our Lives spoilers<\/a> and news
