In the Monday, May 245, 2020, full episode recap of Days of our Lives, Ben and Claire decide to forget about their kiss, Chad says goodbye to Abby, and Gwen’s blackmailed.
Ben arrives home and drops his divorce papers on the floor. “It’s you.” Jordan says, “In the flesh.” She calls him crazy and tells him she’s his guilty conscience. “Why are you cheating on your wife?” He tells her he didn’t make out with Claire. “It didn’t mean anything.” Then he tells her Claire kissed him. Jordan laughs. “You really use your suffering like some menus cologne. I mean, it sounds like a real panty-dropper.” Jordan asks what he thought Ciara was doing when she left Salem. “She doesn’t remember,” he says, anguished. Jordan yells that she remembers that he’s a serial killer. Jordan told her that Ciara would run from him, and now he went to find comfort in the “one person who set her on fire a couple of times.” Jordan asks if he has feelings for Claire. “I don’t.” Jordan urges him to sign the papers.
