On today’s full episode recap of Days of our Lives, Jack gets a slap in the face after trying to pay Gwen off, Vivian’s grumpy in isolation, and Dr. Raynor tells her story.
At the hospital, Jack writes out a check for Gwen for fifty thousand dollars as Gwen looks on, hurt. She asks how much he spent on Abigail. Jack thinks she wants more. Gwen slaps him across the face. Jack says her mother raised her to hate him. Gwen agrees and admits now that they’ve met, she hates him even more. She rips up his check.
At Alice’s, Laura sobs, confirming that Gwen is Jack’s daughter. Abigail hugs her grandmother. “It’s okay. You were trying to protect Mom and Dad.” Laura blames herself for how Gwen grew up. Jennifer gets her mother a tissue and Abigail hugs Laura before leaving the room. Jennifer is obviously upset but refuses to yell at her mom when Laura begs her to say something, anything. Jack interrupts, surprised to see Laura. Jenn explains that he can discuss Gwen in front of her mother since she knows everything. Jack confirms he’s Gwen’s father. Jennifer asks Laura to tell Jack her story, while she goes upstairs. “This is between the two of you,” she shouts on her way up. Laura details what she told his wife and daughter and apologizes. Jack can’t believe she did this without telling him. Laura says her mother was horrible. Jack yells that thanks to her, his little girl grew up without a father. “Who the hell gave you the right to play God?” He yells. Laura’s sorry and sobs but Jack’s relentless. Soon, she goes and Jenn comforts Jack.

You have me. ” She says, “It’s really the same thing.” He tells her she’s no longer alone and shows her the babies. He borrowed them for her. Vivian asks, “Why in God’s name would you do that for me?” Ivan thought his Madam would be overjoyed. He pours himself a drink. “Did you forget to take your medication again?” Vivian asks. Ivan feels terrible that she can’t see her son since she can’t go anywhere. Vivian sighs, still no closer to learning about why the twins are there. Ivan brought them there to atone for his lie about her own twins. Vivian asks if this is a mulligan. He offers to help. Vivian calls to God and asks who the children and their parents are.
