If you missed Wednesday’s #Days, you missed one of daytime’s most beloved traditions. Check out the recap here, and find out who showed up for the tree trimming and how the DiMera clan escaped! The DiMeras Finally Escape and Julie Gets a Christmas Miracle — Plus, EJ Makes a Cryptic Apology!
At the Horton house, Julie calls Maggie and tells her that the Horton Christmas Eve is canceled for the first time ever, and they’ll hang the ornaments when people can get here and are in the mood to celebrate. After she gets off the phone, she cries, but then hears the door slam.
Eli and Lani Come Home!
Lani and Eli surprise Julie for Christmas and explain that the twins are at Abe and Paulina’s, but can’t wait to put their ornaments up. Eli then notices the very bare tree. Julie explains they canceled the festivities since it didn’t seem right to celebrate.
Julie is sorry they came home to an unfestive house, but she can’t wait to see the twins. Eli promises his grandma they’ll get this place looking like Christmas in no time.
Lani surprises Julie with Christmas cookies that the twins made, and EJ comes down with the boxes of ornaments. Eli suggests they hang just a few tonight and pulls out Alice’s ornament first. One by one, they begin putting ornaments on the tree: Alice’s, Tom’s, Julie’s, and finally Doug’s.
They all share a group hug, and Julie thanks them for what they’ve done for her today, but also for talking to her on the phone throughout this ordeal with Theo and Chad. They kept her strong.
Time to Open the Crypt!
Jada and Rafe head to the DiMera mansion, as they firmly suspect the DiMeras have been in their family crypt the whole time, after tips from the groundskeeper and Leo.
In the crypt, we’re treated to a replay of Kristen knocking Peter out with a femur. Tony manages to get the vial of gas from him, and it’s still sealed. Kristen freaks at the thought she may have killed her brother, as he fell and impaled himself on what appears to be one of the bones. Chad grabs the key from Peter, as Kristen cries, “I’m so sorry, Peter.”
