What to expect on Days of our Lives

The chickens come home to roost for Doug III (Peyton Meyer), or at least the strong young women he nearly got killed do. Ari (Marissa Reyes) and Holly (Ashley Puzemis) are safe and recovered from their ordeal locked in a warehouse, so now they are ready to have some words with Doug III.

Ari and Holly pay the young man a visit at The Brady Pub, where they give him pieces of their minds. Ari even appears to give him a piece of her hand when she slaps him clear across the face with Holly watching.

Ari and Holly can't believe that Doug couldn't just be honest with them. Yes, he tried to avoid them to keep them safe, but he could have just told each one the truth. While Holly was never romantically involved with Doug, he lived in her bedroom for weeks, and this was how he repaid her?

Doug did promise Tate (Leo Howard) he would leave town once the girls were safe, but will he keep his word? It's not like Julie (Susan Seaforth Hayes) wants him around and now the two girls he liked also want nothing to do with him.

Sophia's big surprise

Tate was all excited for Sophia (Rachel Boyd) to arrive so he could meet his brand-new daughter, but when he opened the door, there was no baby. Tate can barely believe it when Sophia tells him that she gave the baby to her adoptive parents immediately so that Tate will never get to meet his child. Brady (Eric Martsolf) had already warned Tate not to get too attached.

What Tate doesn't know is that he already met his baby, but Sophia gave birth to a baby boy — weeks ago. The infant Leo and Javi are taking care of is really Tate's son, and he is none the wiser. Sophia knows where her baby boy is, so is it only a matter of time before Tate — and Amy (Shi Ne Nielson) — figure out the truth?
