The horror continues in Salem as fugitives continue to sow terror in the city on the next episode of “Days Of Our Lives” (“DOOL”). On Tuesday, John (Drake Hogestyn) makes a risky deal with Orpheus (George DelHoyo) in exchange of the other hostages’ freedom. John offers himself to Orpheus and asks to let the three women go. Spoilers suggest that John’s plans will backfire – it seems the escaped prisoner really cannot be trusted.

JJ (Casey Moss) tries to stop Orpheus at his tracks, but the police officer will be gunned down, resulting to serious injuries. Other “Days Of Our Lives” cast members who will figure prominently on the Oct. 18 installment include Marlena (Deidre Hall), Hope (Kristian Alfonso), Gabi (Camila Banus), Jennifer (Melissa Reeves), Rafe (Galen Gering), Eduardo (A Martinez) and Steve (Stephen Nichols).

He called Orpheus to let him know the three women are inside the pub. John then showed up to share what happened with Xander. Orpheus called John and said that he has them exactly where he wants them. The villain ordered John to look under the table, where a bomb was ticking. “Run and you die,” Orpheus warned him.

Earlier, Deimos made a deal with Xander – the fugitive can go to Greece and work for Deimos, but he must keep it a secret from everyone. Deimos then headed to the mansion with a bloody lip. He made it appear that he had a scuffle with Xander, but the escaped prisoner is gone for good. Deimos said he killed Xander and that he body went in the river. Brady apologised to Deimos and thanked him for getting rid of Xander.
