Kristen’s Freedom Comes with a Price
Kristen was released after ballistics confirmed the bullet didn’t match her gun. JJ and Shawn had no choice but to let her go, though they noted the bullet had been damaged in surgery. Kristen didn’t celebrate for long. Melinda dropped a bomb—Titan had taken over DiMera, and Kristen was no longer CEO. The shock quickly turned into rage.
Determined to fight back, Kristen demanded her gun and marched to DiMera. She stormed her former office, ignoring Melinda’s warnings. Xander arrived, calmly asserting his new authority. He even fired Melinda on the spot. As tensions exploded, Kristen pulled a gun on him. Her fury wasn’t just emotional—it was locked and loaded.

Rafe and Sami’s kiss led straight to bed. The exes didn’t hold back, enjoying every minute. But their moment got awkward fast when Javi walked in on them.

Later, she teased Rafe about joining her in Italy. He declined, admitting she asked only because she knew he wouldn’t go. Still, both admitted they meant something to each other. With Sami heading back to Italy, the reunion ended almost as quickly as it began.
Jada Holds On To Hope
At Stephanie’s place, Jada reflected on the Spectator article about the Titan-DiMera drama. She still loved Rafe and wanted to explain things. Stephanie encouraged her to reach out, reminding her that Rafe’s pain showed how much he cared. Jada texted him, hoping to meet at Small Bar. Though he didn’t respond right away, Stephanie told her not to lose faith.
Jada eventually showed up at the bar, uncertain but hopeful. Just as she was ready to leave, Rafe walked in. What happens next could decide everything.
