What to expect on Days of our Lives

Xander (Paul Telfer) and Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) are officially separated, so there is nothing keeping them from seeing other people if they so choose. They may have admitted they were still in love with each other, but they felt that they just couldn't live together.

Xander's first move is to have dinner and drinks with Gwen (Emily O'Brien) and see what happens. When they tried this the last time, they almost fell into bed together, but Xander couldn't bring himself to do it.

Sarah spends some more time bonding with Brady (Eric Martsolf) in Horton Town Square, where they fall into a friendly embrace. When Gwen and Xander spot them, Xander thinks they are more than just friends.

Will that lead him to take Gwen back to a Salem Inn room to finish what they started a few weeks ago? Gwen will be thrilled, but she'd have to know she is just second choice. As for Sarah, will she be able to keep the secret about Brady's grandson from him?

Cat and Chad's elevator adventure

Cat (AnnaLynn McCord) and Chad (Billy Flynn) are alarmed when they find themselves stuck in an elevator together. Neither one feels safe after Bonnie (Judi Evans) fell down this very elevator earlier this year, but they know they have to wait it out. At least they know that nobody is sabotaging the hospital and a soap opera anymore.

Cat and Chad have been dancing around their feelings for one another for months, but they rarely have a chance to talk uninterrupted in such close proximity to one another. Well, all that is about to change.

Chad has been hesitant about getting closer to Cat after what she did to his family last year. He knows she was under duress, but that didn't take away from the heartbreak that she caused, especially to Abigail's poor parents.

Will this elevator incident finally allow Chad and Cat to admit that they have fallen for one another? Jennifer Deveraux (Melissa Reeves) would not be happy about this at all.
