Days of our Lives recap for Wednesday, February 8, 2023.
In today’s Days recap, Joey plays cupid for Tripp and Wendy, Allie and Alex console each other over their romantic woes as Chad talks to his kids about dating Steph.
In the last Days recap, Stefan realized his plot against EJ went awry and decided to try again and spiked EJ’s tea with drugs, Nicole was still feeling the effects of being drugged, and Eric came to her rescue, only for her to tell him off.
Joey finds Tripp on a call with Seattle on a consult. He disconnects and they catch up.
Joey’s surprised his brother’s been catching up with Wendy Shin. His brother doesn’t waste time.
Tripp stammers and says no. He says Wendy’s been a good listener as he talks about his mama. She’s been sort of seeing Johnny DiMera.
Johnny’s cool but not a hotshot doctor like Joe’s brother. He urges Tripp to go for her. Instead, Tripp goes to get beer while Joe thinks of calling Wendy.
Johnny arrives at Wendy’s to ask her to see a movie with him. She’s confused, thinking they were going to wait.
He knows but this classic thriller is playing for one night only. Is this about Chanel?
She says it’s been one day. He now thinks Chanel is filling her head with doubts.
He calls her name but Wendy says she moved out. Johnny says he’s trying to be with her in the present. This is just a movie. “Zero pressure,” he insists.
She relents and they are ready to head out when Joey calls and asks her to come hang with his brother at the pub since he’s having a hard time with his mother’s illness. Wendy apologizes to Johnny.
Tripp needs comfort. Johnny reminds her that he needs comfort. Ava killed his grandmother.
They agree to go to a movie another time. He leaves.
Back at the pub, Tripp tells Joey that Dad called before he ordered and needs them.
Joe cringes and fakes going to the restroom so he can contact Wendy to tell her to rush over.
She appears and he hugs her and asks her not to reveal he invited her. She embraces Tripp.
They sit and talk and Joe talks up Tripp and then moves to leave.
Tripp stops him and asks what’s going on. Joey wanted to do his bro a favor. “Welcome,” he whispers as he goes.
