Days of our Lives Spoilers & 10-17 Recap: Harris Joins Salem PD, Ava’s Secret Link to Clyde

Top 5 Takeaways & Days of our Lives Spoilers:

1. Unexpected Alliance: Harris (Steve Burton) makes a surprise appearance in Salem right when Rafe (Galen Gering) is expressing the need for a new partner. With Mayor Price-Carver’s approval still pending, Harris’s unique skills are seen as a potential asset to the police department, especially with Salem PD being understaffed. Rafe wastes no time and assigns Harris his first task: to investigate who left Susan (Stacy Haiduk) at Edmund’s.
2. Ava’s Dilemma: While outwardly pleased for Harris’s opportunity, Ava (Tamara Braun) harbors a heavy secret. She knows exactly who Harris is searching for. During a prison visit, Clyde Weston admits his involvement and tries to manipulate Ava into overseeing his drug empire by using the alias of leading his “pharmaceuticals team.” With Tripp’s (Lucas Adams) safety on the line, Ava doesn’t hesitate to agree.
3. Talia’s Farewell: After an awkward encounter with Belle (Martha Madison), Talia (Aketra Sevillian) decides that her time in Salem has come to an end. Not wanting to continually bump into familiar faces that bring painful memories, like Marlena (Deidre Hall) and Chanel (Raven Bowens), she chooses to move back to California, bidding farewell to Jada and Rafe.
4. Brotherly Bond: Chad (Billy Flynn) and EJ share a heartfelt moment, reflecting on recent events and mourning the missed opportunity of Clyde’s death. Both see it as a regret they’ll have to bear.
5. Tripp’s Situation: The injury Tripp sustained becomes a talking point, especially for Wendy (Victoria Grace) who is horrified by the news. She is equally frustrated with the nuances of unemployment, made evident when Tripp jokes about job hunting with his mother.
