An Arrest is Made — & Tripp Drops a Bombshell

Friday, January 29, 2020

On today’s full episode recap of Days of our Lives, Nicole and Rafe bond, Ciara talks to her captor, and Tripp has news for his brother.

Allie goes to Belle’s to drop the civil suit against Tripp. She explains that she knows Charlie Dale did it after Grandma Marlena hypnotized her.

Tripp brings Charlie the DNA test, which proves he raped Allie. Steve’s sharing the results of the test with the cops! Charlie says it isn’t admissible. Tripp knows. It’ll ensure a judge calls for another test and if they can’t arrest him there, they will in London. Charlie gets upset and says he’ll make Claire understand. Tripp thinks that means he’s going to force himself on her but Charlie denies that. They argue about whether he’ll take responsibility for the rape but Charlie yells that he didn’t rape Allie. Tripp asks, “Then how did you get her pregnant?” Charlie doesn’t respond. Tripp reminds his brother that it’s out in the open now.

Steve goes to Shawn at SPD and shows him the DNA proof that “your daughter’s boyfriend fathered Allie Horton’s baby.”

At Ben’s, he tells Claire that he can’t imagine a future with Ciara. He can’t accept that she’s gone and believes that one day she’ll come back to him. Ben feels some link to her at times. A psychic connection. He flashes back to seeing her during the blackout and when he put his bulb on the Horton Christmas tree. Claire says her grandparents had that. John and Marlena, and Bo and Hope. Claire’s never seen it, but she says it could be real. “Maybe that’s the power of love.”

At an undisclosed location, Ciara bangs on the plexiglass doors, begging to be let out. A man, Rhodes, (Jason Downs), appears in a cowboy hat. He thought she’d give up screaming to an empty room. She asks why he’s keeping her there, feeding her well, and giving her books to read. He tells her Vincent is the mastermind. Ciara gloats about how she got one up on Vincent when he thought she was his dead fiance, Wendy, but it didn’t work in the end. They recap exactly what happened that night. She ran into the woods and right into Rhodes. She thought he was one of the good guys. Ciara is sure that her mother and husband don’t believe she’s dead. Rhodes tells her that her mother is searching for her. “Alright, go mom,” she says. Rhodes made sure she looked in the opposite direction. Ciara swears she’ll find a way out. She misses everyone. Rhodes says, he can’t accommodate her, unfortunately. Rhodes says as long as Vincent keeps sending the checks, he’ll keep her there. Ciara says her grandfather is Victor Kiriakis. He’ll pay double what Vinceint’s paying. Rhodes knows. But if he took her up on the offer, then what would he do? She suggests he could take off to an island. Rhodes says that’s not going to happen. She’ll be there for a long time. She picks up the book he gave her. “Romeo and Juliet?” He thinks it’s right up her alley. She tries to read but is bored and throws the book as Ben and Ciara’s wedding photo falls and crushes a fortune cookie. Ben reads the fortune, “Nothing is ever lost, if you follow your heart.”
