Days of our Lives spoilers for Wednesday, May 15, circle the truth about Jude’s real parents as Sloan is furious at Leo for spilling to EJ, and Eric and Nicole find they have something important in common.

Working Papers

Sloan (Jessica Serfaty — who recently pulled this epic prank) and EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) have an understanding about Jude. But that doesn’t mean Sloan forgives Leo (Greg Rikaart) for blabbing and making her life more difficult. And she would like Leo to hear about it. In detail.

Meanwhile, Nicole (Arianne Zucker) brings Eric (Greg Vaughan) along as she writes a hard-hitting story about Salem’s homeless crisis. Which we have never seen. Or heard of. I guess that’s why Nicole is such a natural reporter. She finds the stories everyone else overlooks!

Clue Less

Now that EJ has decided to leave his wife’s son with the child’s father and adoptive mother, he feels like his life is somewhat under control. But that’s before Rafe (Galen Gering) comes to EJ — in his official position as District Attorney 0- with a theory about who really killed Li (Remington Hoffman), thanks to some new blood evidence.

Now, obviously, Rafe wants to point the finger at someone else since it could lead to his sister, Gabi (Camila Banus), being let out of prison. But why is EJ so invested in keeping the case closed? What did he know, when did he know it…and how many secrets can one man be keeping?

Write On

Chad (Billy Flynn) and Thomas (Cary Christopher) had a nice chat at Abigail’s (Marci Miller) grave about how she will always be in their hearts. But will she also be on their minds? Or will they figure out what was on Abby’s mind when Chad finds his late wife’s journals? Does Chad really want to know? What good could it possibly do?
