Danger still lurks around every corner of Salem on this week’s first salvo of “Days Of Our Lives” (“DOOL”). On Monday, Marlena (Deidre Hall), Claire (Olivia Rose Keegan) and Kate (Lauren Koslow) become the next victims of the three prison escapees.

"Days Of Our Lives" soap recap

"DOOL" fans would remember that in the previous episode, Chloe went to the hospital after suffering from another headache, or so she said. She and Philip shared a warm moment as they discussed about baby names. Deimos then appeared with Justin, who got a court order to legally exercise the right to demand a DNA test right there and then. Philip blew his top, stating that Chloe's pregnancy is high risk and citing Deimos for causing undue stress. The doctor arrived and said they’d all take blood tests and the results will come back later that day.

After, Philip and Chloe arrived at Kate’s place. The two shared with her about Chloe's paternity problems and sought her help. Philip asked her to convince the doctor to lie about the paternity results or change them to make it appear Philip’s the father. However, Kate said she can't pretend Chloe's baby will be her grandkid. Later, however, she backtracked and said she’s looking forward to being a grandmother again after all.
