Photo: Look for Molly Burnett (Melanie) to return mid to late month. She will harbor a secret. (Does it involve a baby?) Watch and see on Friday, November 21st & Monday, November 24th.

With Sami out of the picture and EJ no longer walking the earth, Kate is sure that her time at the top of the DiMera empire is sure to last. Unfortunately, her alliance with Chad isn’t all that great. The young DiMera starts blackmailing her and it outrages Kate. But look out Chad!  Stefano will be furious when he learns that his son has betrayed him! If making powerful enemies wasn’t enough to complicate Chad’s life, Melanie pops up in Salem again.

Confronted with the shame of his latest actions, JJ is in a vulnerable position. Eve gets him to finally dump her daughter and move on. That might not go smoothly since Eve can hardly resist throwing something incriminating in Jenn’s face. Will Eve accuse JJ of rape? While Jenn heads for a meltdown, Hope could be having one of her own after she finds something very disturbing when she’s snooping around on Aiden’s tablet.

After all the soul searching that he can muster, JJ comes to a decision about what kind of future he wants with dear Paige. Meanwhile, a slightly less uncomfortable family situation occurs when Melanie finds Nicole in nothing but a towel at Daniel’s place. If her father’s love life wasn’t worrying her enough, she also has to make sure that a few things are clear to Chad about where they stand. Later, Mel gets to experience Ben for herself.

Proving that he is really sticking around, and that he has plenty of money to waste, Clyde enters into therapy with Marlena (!) He might actually need it if Jordan gets her way. Increasingly unhinged, she explodes at Kate for bringing Mr. Weston to town. And across Salem, Sonny has a fight with Chad over whether or not their partnership is still viable.

Fans please note that “Days of our Lives” will be pre-empted on Thursday November 27th and Friday November 28th.
