What happened to Tripp and Wendy on Days of Our Lives? Characters seemingly say goodbye to Salem city

In the latest episode of Days of Our Lives telecasted on April 29, 2024, Tripp and Wendy have left Salem for Hong Kong.

The couple faced a dangerous delay due to a kidnapping by Clyde's associate, Goldman, which almost proved fatal. This traumatic event persuaded them to move, escaping the drama and threats associated with Tripp's family.

Apparently, they are embarking on what they call an "extended trip," with plans for Tripp to study Mandarin and volunteer as a doctor. While they have hinted at returning, it reportedly appears that their departure is more like a permanent move rather than a short visit, given the current plot dynamics.

In Monday's episode i.e., April 29, 2024, Tripp and Wendy were seen preparing to depart from Salem. The duo met up at Kayla and Steve's apartment. In their meeting, Tripp mentioned that he hoped one day he could learn Mandarin and volunteer in China.

Meanwhile, Wendy talked with Kayla about some cultural norms while making breakfast. They further discussed the need to respect local customs, in this case, to avoid using chopsticks carelessly.

The episode also saw Steve and Tripp reconcile their differences. Notably, Steve expressed being immensely proud of the young, independent man Tripp had become. Furthermore, in their own way, they talked about old war stories and laughed over the chopstick rule. Thereafter, they hugged, and finally, it was all apparently okay.

Moving forward, Ava also joined in to make the goodbyes more emotional. She embraced Tripp to show her joy and regrets. Ava told him all about her changed self and how she hoped Tripp would be happy. They tenderly bade each other goodbye—the love and respect each held for the other.

Tripp and Wendy had this very light heart-to-heart as they walked along with Ava as she left the apartment, talking about the trip that she was going to take and the movies that they should bring on the airplane.

The show ended with Tripp and Wendy taking off into the great unknown, both holding hands and saying goodbye to their friends and family with the promise of staying close no matter how far away they were.
