On today’s full episode recap of Days of our Lives, Ben tells Claire about his dream, Rafe walks in on Charlie attacking Ava, and Rhodes leaves behind his cell phone…
At SPD, Vivian pretends she doesn’t know who Kate or Jake are, prompting Kate to snark that she should have known Vivian would do anything and say anything to save her own ass. Jake shakes his head. Vivian asks why she’s torturing her. Kate’s not. She’s trying to get her to cut the crap. Vivian thinks Kate’s unable to let go of the past. Kate reminds Vivian she took her unborn son from her body and used her own as an incubator. She’ll never let that go and will ensure she pays for taking “yet another woman’s baby.” Vivian thinks Jake’s great aunt is a candidate for her own padded cell. Kate goes at her and Jake pulls her away. Vivian asks him for sparkling water and he scoffs. “I’ve always depended on the kindness of strangers,” she says. Jake retorts, “Okay Blanche.” He moves to go and returns, “That’s right. I took theatre in college.” Jake goes to Kate. She apologizes for blurting that stuff out about Philip. Jake knows she hates her and finds it understandable. Kate plans on changing gears with Vivian. They need to make her think Jake’s in jeopardy. Jake brings Vivian a drink and she says she has to get home for the feeding. “You know what they say, the breast is always the best.” Jake looks upward to the ceiling, “Oh God, I wish I hadn’t heard that.” Kate tells Vivian that she’s having sex with her son. Vivian looks stunned as they canoodle. “Get your hands off my son, you bitch,” Vivian says, banging the table. Kate grins. “Gotcha!” Vivan implores her son to tell her he’s lying. “Do we have your blessings, Viv?” Kate asks. Vivian almost attacks Kate. Kate smirks since they’re recording what goes on in the room.
Rafe arrives at Nicole’s place to tell her that Charlie’s been released and the British authorities can do nothing about it. Nicole blows up, tired of the little boys’ club. Rafe gets it. They agree that his job sucks. Nicole agrees to tell Allie, though she worries it’ll upset her when she reveals that he may not have to face a judge and jury, but he’ll have to face her. Rafe reminds her he’s an on-duty cop. She shouldn’t tell him this. She also needs to stay away from Charlie. She could end up screwing his changes at putting Charlie in jail.
Charlie visits Ava in the hospital. She thinks she’s hallucinating and shakes her head. “Nope. Nope, you’re not real.” Charlie says he’s real. He was let out. She smacks her face, thinking she’s dreaming. He’s preparing for Valentine’s Day. Ava laughs at him thinking anyone wants to get close to him. “Hope springs eternal,” he says. He tells her he and Allie had sex, that she refused Tripp, even though Ava finds him to be an Adonis. He smirks. That’s his story and he’s sticking to it. Ava knows she’s done nasty things and so has her family but to rape a woman and then gloat about it, “You disgust me.” He doesn’t care. They argue about him kidnapping and drugging her. He thinks it’s one of those he said, she said story but she reminds him a cop found her tied up in his apartment. He’ll help put Charlie away for good. She calls him a loser, a dangerous sociopath. He threatens her life and she tells him he’s outmatched. He grabs her neck and she claws at his hand as Rafe walks in. Charlie quickly lets go and Ava rubs her neck. Nicole pokes her head in and Rafe kicks Charlie out. Ava’s fine and says though it goes against everything the Vitali family stands for, she’s going to do what she can to stop Charlie from hurting another woman again. Nicole doesn’t want Ava going home alone. She invites her to stay with Rafe.
Ben wakes up alone in his bed, calling out, “Juliet!” Meanwhile, Ciara wakes up with a start, thankful it was just a dream. Ben gets dressed and Claire arrives to see how he is. He tells her he dreamed of he and Ciara reenacting Romeo and Juliet and is pretty sure she was dreaming about him, too. Ben says he knew “Thus with a kiss I die,” which is the last line of the play. He’s never read it, nor has he seen the movies but Ciara has. He repeats more lines and doesn’t realize it’s from the play. “It’s the balcony scene,” Claire tells him. Ben thinks that Romeo was an idiot. He’s off to see Vincent at Statesville. Claire stops him and says she believes in his dream and asks him not to let Vincent know what he’s up to. He’ll only mess with Ben’s head. They need to analyze his dream.
Rhodes taps on Ciara’s glass cage and sees she’s been reading Romeo and Juliet. He hopes she isn’t getting ideas “from that romantic claptrap.” He tells her he thinks he made a mistake by letting her keep that book. But it was Valentine’s Day. Ciara tells him she and Ben shared the same dream. Rhodes asks if she thinks she has a psychic connection to him. She does. He reminds her Romeo and Juliet’s a tragedy. Rhodes has somewhere to be. He has a date. Ciara sneers, “Lucky girl.” She sees he left his cell phone on the table and smirks. Ciara opens the window from the floor and stretches her arm to reach. She grabs a wire hanger and tries to reach with that. She grabs it and uses it to call Ben. Ben sees ‘unknown number’ come up. He answers, “Ciara?”
Claire runs into Charlie in the park.
