Tripp’s Shocked to Learn Who Kidnapped His Mom & Raped Allie

Monday, January 11, 2020

On today’s full episode recap of Days of our Lives,

At the square, Chloe tells Brady that Philip is laundering money for the mob through Ava Vitali. Brady will try to help, so Philip reveals how he got back into gambling and that the mob suggested that he work it off by money laundering. Brady suggests he tell Victor. Chloe goes to take a call from her mom, Nancy, and Brady says he’ll help Philip if he stays away from Chloe. Brady calls him toxic and doesn’t want her to get involved. Philip doesn’t want her involved, either. “It’d kill me to see her hurt,” he says. Chloe returns and Brady goes.

In the pub, Nicole and Allie have dinner and discuss her run-in with Tripp. Allie isn’t sure if her memory of Tripp and the assault go together. Nicole’s floored when she hears that and that Steve and her Grandpa John went to Philly to find out what happened that night.

At home, Tripp worries about his mother. Steve turns up and tells his son what he and John found out in Philly. That Angelo was in prison, but that Ava has another son in Charlie Dale, who Steve says probably raped Allie. Tripp worries for Claire and Allie and then realizes his brother might have something to do with his mother’s disappearance.

At SPD, Charlie waits in the interrogation room while Rafe calls John to tell him about tracking Charlie Dale down. He asks if John has extra ammo on why he thinks Charlie raped Allie. Later, Rafe asks why Ava Vitali was tied up in his apartment. Charlie acts innocent and says he doesn’t know her. Charlie offers Xander as a character witness which makes Rafe snort. Rafea reveals he knows Ava is her mom. Angelo confessed. Charlie claims he doesn’t know any Angelo. Rafe tells Charlie that DNA evidence suggests Ava’s son may have raped Allie Horton, but Rafe thinks maybe Charlie did it. Charlie stands up and denies it, and refuses to answer when Rafe asks if he was in London last December. Rafe asks him to consent to a DNA test, and Charlie asks for a lawyer.

Ava tries to get out of her binds at the hospital when Kayla appears. Ava asks for her son. Kay asks which one. Ava wants to see Tripp. She still thinks he’s dead. Kayla says he’s not, there was no blood at the scene where Rafe found her. Ava talks about not getting along with Kayla and when she tried to kill her, she was out of her mind. Kayla can’t release Ava, since she still presents a danger to herself and others. Ava starts yelling. She worries Joey’s standing outside, waiting to smother her again. Kayla promises that’s not going to happen. Kayla knows this is unfair. She gives Ava a sedative and then calls Steve and asks him to take Tripp to the hospital.

Nicole and Allie find Rafe at SPD. He tells them they found Allie at Charlie Dale’s apartment, held captive. Nicole and Allie are shocked. Rafe spills everything about him being Ava’s son and possibly the man who raped her. Nicole freaks out, demanding Rafe get Charlie to talk. When Rafe and Nicole’s backs are turned, Allie sneaks in to ask Charlie if he raped her.

Steve and Tripp arrive at the hospital and Kayla tells them Ava’s there, and why. Tripp goes to sit with her and Steve and Kayla swap Charlie Dale stories. Kayla feels bad for Claire but hopes Charlie’s the culprit. In her room, Ava wakes up, glad to see Tripp. They tell each other they love one another and Ava reveals she has a brother. She’s sorry she didn’t tell him sooner. She wanted to protect him. She calls Tripp the best part of her and Charlie the worst. Ava suddenly hallucinates that Charlie’s there with a knife, and she starts to panic.

A spoiler for the next full episode of Days of our Lives: Steve has big news for Tripp.
