Days of our Lives recap for Monday, March 20, 2023.
In today’s Days recap, Megan orders a hit on Kate and Marlena and Kayla grill Dr. Rolf.
In the last Days recap, Kate had a shocking encounter with Bo Brady, who is on Megan’s side and Steve and John’s search lead them to an old friend in Hope Brady, while Paul and Andrew got reacquainted and had sex.
In the lab with the cylinders, Kayla and Marlena demand Rolf tell them who he kept alive for a decade.
He admits he doesn’t mind bragging and doesn’t think it could hurt to say so.
Megan orders Bo to kill Kate who asks her to call him off. She’ll do what Megan wants and asks for a second chance.
Bo admits he doesn’t want to kill Kate. It could get messy. She doesn’t want blood all over the lab.
He offers to take it outside. Megan’s thrilled. “Kill her outside and leave her to rot.” She laughs and leaves the room and Bo ushers Kate out.
Once outside, Bo tells Kate this is a good place to die. Kate says this is not him. Not the Bo she knows. Bo says, “Is he a sweetheart of a guy?”
She says yes and he’s no stone-cold assassin. She asks him to think of Hope. He loved her.
Bo brushes her off and she hands him her wedding ring and asks him to give it back to Roman.
Bo says Roman thinks she’s dead so there’s no point in that. Besides, he doesn’t care about Roman. Kate reminds him of all of his children, listing them off, including Chelsea.
She knows Chelsea would be hurt and the rest of his kids and grandkids if they know what he was about to do.
Bo tells her to shut up and reminds her that his relationship with Chelsea was complicated because she’s responsible for Zack’s death. Kate knows and he forgave her.
She tells him that Chelsea and Max are happy in London, Belle and Shawn are happy and Ciara and Ben are sailing around the world, but Hope’s miserable missing him.
Megan goes to Rolf and stops him from telling the women about Bo.
They’re upset to learn Kate’s going to die.
They leave the women alone to ponder what’s coming.
Marlena’s been trying to reach out to John and her family but she can’t.
Back in the lab, Megan orders Rolf to get to work at making a new serum.
They’ll use Kayla and Marlena to test it. She hands him the orchid, though he’s against this. He plucks a petal from the plant as she tells him to stop procrastinating.
She flashes back to July when Bo was in the cryo chamber and had just woken up, how happy she was.
“Bo my love, it’s me, Megan,” she had said, through tears. All Bo said was, “Where’s Hope?”
She laments that it’s all Bo could think about was her.
In August, Bo was locked in a room but yelled for Megan to let him out of there to find Hope.
At the time, she ordered him to cure himself of thinking about Hope. Rolf reminds her he did that.
“Yes, but it didn’t turn out as I expected,” she says, remembering August after Bo woke up from a procedure on his brain.
She showed him a photo of Hope and asked how it made him feel. He crumpled it and threw it away, making Megan happy.
It didn’t make Bo fall for Megan. She tells Rolf this serum better work to make Bo have romantic feelings for her. Rolf says he can’t create romantic feelings from nothing but she insists they’re just dormant.
Rolf recalls back in November when he made no promises and she remembers asking him to use that orchid she read about in The Spectator.
She thought he could use it to reverse the aging process.
She laughs as she remembers telling Bo to steal the orchid. When they’re young again, she knows Bo will love her.
She admits he’s never questioned why he had to steal the orchid. She flashes back to that in December.
Later, she flashes back to January when she read about the virus killing Marlena.
And then February when Bo found Marlena, Kate and Kayla asleep in the cylinders.
Megan caught him staring at Kayla and he questioned why they were there.
She told him they would help them get back the time they lost and live happily ever after.

Back outside the compound, Bo says it was over between him and Hope a long time ago. Kate calls Bo a rebel and asks where that man is. Not this errand boy for Megan.
She doesn’t think he wants her dead but Bo says he does. She urges him then to pull the trigger.
