What to expect on Days of our Lives

Johnny (Carson Boatman) and Chanel (Raven Bowens) are ready for their home visit from social services, as Chanel is sure that they are meant to be little Tesoro's parents. They greet the social worker with a smile, and everything seems to be going as planned.

However, they are about to get devastating news, all thanks to Sophia (Rachel Boyd). She decides to hit send on that email she wrote about what terrible parents Johnny and Chanel would make. That raises red flags with social services, and it completely blindsides Johnny and Chanel.

They were positive that they'd be bringing their son home soon, only to learn that they had been deemed unfit parents. Does that mean they will never be able to have a child if Chanel's health issues don't clear up?

Sophia is quite proud of herself. In less than a day, she's managed to ruin Holly's (Ashley Puzemis) life, as well as Johnny and Chanel's, all for her own selfish reasons. However, Sophia's life and lies may come back to haunt her very soon, so she had better be prepared.

Brady gets surprise news

While Johnny and Chanel had been sure they would be able to adopt Tesoro, Brady (Eric Martsolf) has been sure that Tesoro is really Tate (Leo Howard) and Sophia's baby. He even had a DNA test ran and now the results are in.

Brady is about to be in for a big surprise when Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) tells him the verdict. Does she let Brady know that Tate's toothbrush DNA does not match Tesoro's DNA? If so, that would come as a shock to the audience, as well as to Brady.

We all know that Tesoro is indeed the baby that Sophia left at the firehouse, but if his DNA does not match Tate's, then Tate is not the baby's father, which many fans have suspected all along.

Is this the reason that Aaron (Louis Tomeo) is back in the picture, living in the Salem University dorms? Is Cat Greene (AnnaLynn McCord) about to learn that she is an aunt?
