Alex is Crushed Walking in on Chad and Stephanie Making Out, Sarah Signs Divorce Papers as Xander Takes Gwen to Bed & Stefan Makes a Startling Reveal

Days of our Lives recap for Wednesday, February 1, 2023.

In today’s Days recap, Xander learns of Gwen’s sacrifice for him, and Chad pours his heart out to Stephanie. 

In the last Days recap, Rolf’s deprogramming seemed to go terribly wrong, Xander signed divorce papers, and when Gwen visited him, he kissed her.

Gwen visits Xander at the no-tell-motel and he takes her in a searing kiss before asking her to take her top off.

He needs to see if she’s wearing a wire. She covers herself and sneers.

Xander talks about Leo’s visit and thinks she’s there to send him down the river for Trask.

Gwen slaps him across the face.

He should know by now that she’s the last person who would double-cross him.

She came to reassure him of that and she admits Jack gave her an ultimatum.

She could go to Rafe or Trask or risk him cutting her out of his life.

She chose Xander and Jack disowned her. He’s surprised.

She admits she still loves him and she knows he loves Sarah but she did it anyway.

He tells Gwen he signed divorce papers. She holds his hand. She’s sorry. He doubts that.

She admits she’s glad but doesn’t want him to be hurting.

Gwen says there’s still hope since the papers aren’t filed yet. Gwen can’t trust it won’t happen.

If it does, she’ll be left in the cold. Xander claims he doesn’t want to be with someone who is always moving the goalpost.

“I want a bad boy but you can’t be too bad. I love you but not enough…” he says.

Meanwhile, Gwen threw away a chance with her dad without a guarantee that they’d be together.

She did it because she has faith in him and doesn’t judge him. He wants to show her how that makes him feel. He kisses her.

He asks if she believes him after the passionate kiss. She does but she’s not used to things working out for her.

He says nothing does for him. Maybe it’s why they’re supposed to be together?

They fall to the bed, making out, well on their way to having sex.
