Welcome to the Days of our Lives Daily Y.A.P.P. (Your After-Program Ponderings) for a quick — and by that, I mean you’re already halfway done — recap of the most amazing or what-the-heck-did-we-just-watch moments on today’s episode. Let’s get to it:

What happened on Days of our Lives

They say you can find just about anything on YouTube. How to fix a faucet? Go to YouTube. How to repair your HVAC system? There's a video for that. You name it, you can find it on this one app. And in Salem, you can even find instructions on how to give birth in your bedroom all on your own, complete with a cut-the-cord lesson. Yes, in the throes of a super-fast labor, Sophia Choi found the time and the tenacity to search YouTube for instructions. AMAZING!!! Did she watch some fun Gen Z TikToks in between contractions? Something to pass the time, right? Remember just a few short weeks ago, when Sophia and Tate toured the birthing facilities at Salem University Hospital, and she had to turn away from a birthing video? She refused to watch because it was too gross, but we're expected to believe she was able to give birth with no help because she watched a YouTube video. If she had the time to do a YouTube search, then wouldn't she have had time to call someone for help? Melinda, for example? Plus, she had always planned on giving birth with Tate by her side, so he was going to see the baby anyway. Why did she feel he couldn't see the newborn if she gave birth on her own? Just make it make sense. That's all we ask.
