Meanwhile, Kate, Marlena and Kayla are dealing with some people they know while they’re in limbo, heaven or hell…wherever they are, in this supernatural story. Arianne Zucker celebrates her 25th anniversary on the show this month, so Nicole and Eric have a special episode with many clips of the past. Although Chanel chose Allie, there are still feelings between the two of them, as well as chemistry between Allie and Alex.

Jada and Rafe are attracted to each other, but things don’t go smoothly because they’re not allowed to date (since he’s her superior). Stefan and EJ are at odds because both want to be CEO of DiMera. They try to one-up each other, which could get dangerous. Although Gabi is done with Li, he’s not done with her. She wants a divorce, so he can make things difficult for her.
