Marlena Hypnotizes John, Who Sees The Person Who Shot Charlie Dale and Reacts, ‘Oh My God’

Friday, April 16, 2020: On today’s full episode recap of Days of our Lives, John needs to know if he’s a killer, Belle upsets Shawn with her decision, and Jan wants to be BFFs with Claire again.

At SPD, Rafe updates the suspect list by removing Ava and Tripp’s names. DA Trask wanders in. “And then there were none,” she complains. If she can’t have the killer’s head on a silver platter, she might have to settle for his. Trask snipes that Rafe did nothing when his ex-wife obstructed justice and suggests that all he did was make Sami stand in the corner. Trask says all of the suspects are connected to Rafe. She asks why he eliminated Allie. Rafe explains what went down and Trask tells him to find actual proof that she’s not a killer. She asks if he’d risk his job for any of these people’s innocence. Rafe explains the reason he stroked them off the list and Melinda reluctantly says she understands. Rafe shows her a red button that’s unaccounted for.
