Days of Our Lives recap for Wednesday, April 9, features drama-packed confrontations, surprise moves, and one unforgettable return. From boardroom power plays to emotional confessions, the episode kept fans on edge with every scene.
Sami Walks in on Belle’s Big Confession
Belle sat quietly at EJ DiMera’s hospital bedside, wrestling with her feelings. She reflected on their turbulent relationship—torn between resentment and lingering affection. In her mind, EJ responded, and that imaginary dialogue helped her realize something deeper. Her feelings weren’t just some twisted obsession. Belle loved him.
But just as she uttered those vulnerable words aloud, in walked Sami Brady. The timing couldn’t have been more awkward. Sami, the queen of chaos, overheard her sister’s heartfelt confession to a comatose EJ. With a smirk and a sarcastic tone, Sami made her presence known.
It was the kind of entrance only Sami could pull off—sharp, messy, and perfectly timed. The tension was instant. Sami’s disapproval of Belle getting close to EJ, her former husband, was clear. As the episode closed, Belle braced herself for the storm to come. On Thursday, we’re likely in for a classic sibling showdown.

Meanwhile, Kristen DiMera’s troubles kept piling up. At the station, JJ and Shawn found a gun in her purse and began their questioning. Kristen was cornered, and her options grew fewer by the second. While she tried to stay calm, the timing couldn’t have been worse.
Back at DiMera, Gabi Hernandez found herself lost in a powerful memory. She remembered the night EJ was shot—and it looked like she might’ve held the weapon. But before she could recall the full picture, Philip’s voice snapped her out of it. Her mind was spinning, but the business world around her was already shifting.
Xander and Philip Make a Power Move
With Kristen tied up at the police station, Xander and Philip saw their chance. Backed by Wei Shin, the half-brothers made their move. Philip quietly gathered information from Kayla, while Xander brought Shin back into the picture. Together, they set up the ultimate corporate ambush.
They called for a vote of no confidence against Kristen. With the board on their side, they stripped Kristen of her CEO title and handed power to Shin. In return, Shin gave Titan a deal—one that cemented the Kiriakis brothers’ control over the DiMera empire.
The final scene showed Philip and Xander walking into Gabi Chic like they owned it—because now they do. Gabi, already reeling from her memory flashback, was hit with another bombshell. Her office was no longer hers. Philip and Xander had claimed everything.
