Elsewhere, Vivian told Xander about the forged letter, causing him to blow up at his brother, Philip. Later, he realized that Alex and Stephanie were privy to the secret, too. However, as per Wei Shin's advice, he decided to keep the forgery under wraps to hold on to the new takeover.

Days of Our Lives: Gabi goes on a date
Recently, JJ confronted his girlfriend about her whereabouts on the night of EJ DiMera's shootout, and a furious Gabi realized that her beau suspected her and walked out on him. JJ regretted his approach and hoped to win her back, however, Gabi had other plans.
On Thursday's episode, dated April 24, 2025, Gabi bids a huge amount on Alex Kiriakis for the fundraiser's Bachelor Auction. She will likely win the auction, making Alex her prize, and the upcoming episodes will see her going on a date with said prize.
While she knows Alex is committed to Stephanie, Gabi ultimately wants to teach JJ a lesson. It is likely that JJ is already repentant and does not need any push to feel jealous.
Days of Our Lives: Tate offers a prom invite
Recently, Tate broke up with his girlfriend, Holly, after he snitched on Doug, leaving the latter homeless. After their breakup, Tate turned his focus to his yet-to-be-born baby and its mother, Sophia Choi. He and Sophia also managed to finalize the baby's adoption, with Amy signing the documents.
The upcoming episodes will find Tate bonding with Sophia even more. He will realize that Sophia does not seem too excited about the adoption plan as the dates are nearing. Also, the teenage mother's life seems to revolve around the baby.
As such, Tate will invite Sophia to the prom night, in a bid to cheer her up. He will rationalize that it may give her another taste of school life before the baby changes everything. Sophia, in turn, will be delighted to receive the invitation and may look forward to the day. Whether their special night goes as planned or a medical emergency spoils it remains to be seen.

Meanwhile, EJ will try to remember the events of the fatal night after JJ comes questioning him. Moreover, when Kristen meets him, he will look uncomfortable, leaving the former surprised. Whether his cousin's visit brings back part of EJ's memory remains to be seen.
