Thursday, April 22, 2020: On today’s full episode recap of Days of our Lives, Sami convinces Lucas to play along with a crazy scheme, Chloe is shocked at Brady’s feelings, and Vivian almost spills all to Brady.
From the park, Sami is on a call with Kristen who rushes her to hurry up and get Chloe away from Brady. Sami reveals her plan is to get Lucas to seduce Chloe. Lucas walks up. “The hell I am!” He doesn’t like that she’s “pimping me out to my ex-wife.” Lucas calls this her problem. “Only one of us is married.” Sami tries steamrolling him and he calls her out on it. “You can’t control my life anymore.” Sami crosses her arms and says he owes her. This is his fault! They accuse each other of kissing the other first and Lucas corrects Sami’s grammar. They laugh and keep their banter up. Lucas teases her about EJ finding out since it’s a big betrayal. If Lucas cared about Chloe, he should want to seduce her. As long as she’s interested in Brady, “She’s got a big ole target on her back.” Lucas freaks out. “You think she’d kill Chloe?” Lucas will do it but he wants it known he’s against it. He doesn’t want to pretend he has feelings for her. It’s wrong! Sami remembers that it was hard breaking up with her before he returned to Italy to help her. Lucas admits it was hard leaving her.
