On the Thursday, May 29 episode of Days of Our Lives, spoilers tease that Maggie (Suzanne Rogers) takes Julie (Susan Seaforth Hayes) into her confidence, while Belle (Martha Madison) has news for Jada (Elia Cantu).

Click through the gallery to see a sneak peek of the upcoming action and click here to see the full promo for this week.
Kristen (Stacy Haiduk, l.) has a quiet, emotional moment with Rachel (Alice Halsey) while the two sit on the couch in the DiMera mansion. Does the seriousness of their encounter have anything to do with what is happening at the hospital with Rachel’s grandfather, John Black?
Kristen hugs Rachel while the two are in an exam room at University Hospital? Why has Kristen taken her daughter there, and where is Brady, who would obviously want to be there if something is going on with his daughter?
Brady (Eric Martsolf) arrives, and he has a request for Kristen. Does he want to spend more time with Rachel? Does he want to take her to see her grandpa? Whatever his proposition, Kristen is likely going to fight him on it. Will she relent eventually or is this going to reignite their war against each other?
Brady has a question for Kayla (Mary Beth Evans). Does his inquiry have to do with the care that his father, John Black, is getting? Brady must be worried about John, considering he was burned over 30% of his body. Or will Brady’s question have to do with his daughter, Rachel?
Julie (Susan Seaforth Hayes, l.) and Maggie (Suzanne Rogers) talk with Kayla at the nurses’ station. Is Julie asking how Bo and Hope are doing now that Bo’s been given the experimental drug that Dr. Russell created for sepsis?
Chad (Billy Flynn) arrives and gets the attention of all three women — Julie, Kayla and Maggie. What has brought Chad to the hospital?
Brady seeing Belle (Martha Madison) with EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) has to set off alarms. He hates the idea of his sister dating the DiMera heir and considering what is happening with their dad, Brady is already on edge.
Belle knows her family disapproves of her being with EJ, but she probably appreciates having his support during this trying time for her and her family. She is worried sick about her father. John’s condition is quite dire at this point.
Xander (Paul Telfer) arrives at the hospital and faces Kayla, Brady, Belle and EJ. The board is voting on which offer — Xander’s or EJ’s — they want to accept. Who will they choose?
Jada (Elia Cantu) shows up and arrests Xander for the assault on his half brother, Philip. This turn of events may play in EJ’s favor. Will the board consider him a safer bet than the head of a company who may be headed to prison?
