As Rachel teaches Thomas her manipulative tricks and EJ makes a backdoor deal, Stephanie faces the fallout of a shocking reveal. Monday’s Days of Our Lives episode delivers family tension, hidden motives, and power plays that could change everything in Salem
In the upcoming Days of Our Lives episode for Monday, November 3, Salem is set for fresh turmoil. Rachel continues her mischievous streak by passing her bad behavior on to Thomas, while EJ and Chanel finally get what they wanted — though not without questionable help. Elsewhere, Stephanie’s attempt to protect herself ends up exposing her deeper secrets.
Rachel’s plan to corrupt Thomas
Rachel (Alice Halsey) isn’t just stirring trouble; she’s teaching it. After gloating to Thomas (Cary Christopher) about catching his dad kissing Cat (AnnaLynne McCord), Rachel decides to make sure he never accepts any new woman in Chad’s (Billy Flynn) life. Taking cues from her mother Kristen (Stacy Haiduk), Rachel trains Thomas in every trick she knows to drive potential partners away. Her determination promises trouble for both families as Salem braces for her next move.
EJ’s deal and Chanel’s victory
Meanwhile, Chanel (Raven Bowens) and Johnny (Carson Boatman) believe their adoption of baby Tesoro happened because they were the best candidates. What they don’t realize is that EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) and Chanel’s mother, Mayor Paulina, pulled powerful strings behind the scenes. EJ made a secret deal with Amy (Shi Ne Nielson) to withdraw her objections, clearing the path for his son and daughter-in-law. While Chanel and Johnny celebrate their win, Leo (Greg Rikaart) and Javi (Al Calderon) are heartbroken to let the baby go. Aaron (Louis Tomeo), the child’s biological father, feels torn but finds comfort in his sister Cat’s (AnnaLynne McCord) support.
Stephanie’s reveal and Alex’s frustration
Elsewhere, Stephanie (Abigail Klein) takes control of her narrative by publicly revealing she is Anastasia Sands. Her confession wasn’t a choice — it was a move made under threat. Now Alex (Robert Scott Wilson) is sure Jeremy (Michael Roark) is behind the leak. The two confront him repeatedly, though neither seems closer to the truth. Alex also believes Jeremy targeted Jada (Elia Cantu) just to get to Stephanie, proving he might be seeing himself as the story’s center more than ever.
From hidden deals to exposed identities, Salem’s calm won’t last long — and Monday’s choices will leave lasting consequences for all.
