Days of our Lives spoilers for Tuesday, May 21 find Sloan losing more and more control as, now that he knows the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, EJ is dictating terms to his stepson’s stepmother.

I Did It My Way

Sloan (Jessica Serfaty) thought she had it rough when only Melinda (Tina Huang) and Leo (Greg Rikaart) knew her baby-napping secret. But now that Leo has blabbed to EJ (Dan Feuerriegel), and Sloan filled him in on who little Jude’s real biological parents are, EJ has some conditions of his own for keeping Sloan’s secret.

This is a take-it-or-leave-it situation. And if Sloan leaves it, there will be consequences. And, while Sloan is running as fast as she can just to stay in place, Eric (Greg Vaughan) is getting support from Roman (Josh Taylor), who is doing his best to stay out of the way as Kate (Lauren Koslow) goes after Ava (Tamara Braun).

Helper Elf

And speaking of Ava, Steve (Stephen Nichols) went to her for info on Clyde (James Read), whom Steve blames for kidnapping Tripp (Lucas Adams) and Wendy (Victoria Grace). Now Chad (Billy Flynn) wants to join in the hunt. He blames Clyde for killing Abigail (Marci Miller).

So many people have reasons for wanting to see the bad guy back behind bars — despite him happily running his drug empire there. What a shame Clyde is proving to be smarter than all of them.

Drinking Buddies

Now that he’s swallowed his moral qualms about keeping Jude from Nicole (Arianne Zucker), Leo is free to live the high life again — on EJ’s tab, natch. So, after a hard day of exploiting people’s secrets for his own fun and profit, Leo is ready to kick back, relax, and share a drink with colleagues Stephanie (Abigail Klein) and Everett (Blake Berris). Maybe he’ll be the one to figure out this whole Bobby fiasco since Leo is always happy to ask the most embarrassing questions.
