Friday, September 23, 2022: Today on Days of Our Lives, Chad takes matters into his own hands after Sonny confirms his latest suspicion, Jada confronts Nicole, who fesses up to Eric, and Nancy prepares for happily ever after with Clyde.

Jada stops by Basic Black as Nicole works. Jada explains she’s there because she knows it’s Eric’s first day. Nicole snarks, did she bring him a lunch? Jada explains she accidentally grabbed his phone when… Nicole interjects, “When you woke up in bed together this morning?” Jada calls her out for being bothered by their relationship. Nicole denies it, but Jada accuses her of hoping they fall apart. She also calls into question the reason for, and timing of, her job offer to Eric. Jada feels like they are in competition for his affection, but Nicole insists she’s just protective. Jada takes that to mean Nicole doesn’t think she’s good enough for Eric. Does she know how that makes her feel?

Eric’s presence interrupts them. He asks what’s going on. Jada explains the phone mix up, and they exchange them. Nicole side-eyes them as Jada kisses him on the cheek and leaves. Eric asks Nicole about the tension between her and Jada. Nicole admits she lied to Rafe about offering him a job as a way to explain her visit to his room. So, she offered him the job to cover. Eric quits.

Nicole begs him to stay. While the circumstances of the offer weren’t ideal, they do need a photographer like him on staff. Eric agrees to stay, but only if Nicole is honest with Rafe about them working together. Nicole agrees. She’s not sure why she lied in the first place. Especially, Eric says, when her dream about him was so innocent. Nicole admits it was really a sex dream. Eric fesses up to his sex dream as well. But they’re just dreams, right? Nicole agrees. Yeah, just a dream, yeah.

Chad rushes off the elevator and finds Will. He asks if he’s seen Clyde. Will says he was just there. Chad announces he thinks Clyde is the attacker. They go into Sonny’s room and wake him up. Chad asks if he remembers seeing Clyde when he was attacked. Sonny closes his eyes and recalls seeing Clyde’s reflection as he lunged toward him. Sonny wonders why he would do that to him.

Jada comes to the station and asks Rafe if there’s news on the case. Rafe tells her Leo might be innocent and asks her to look over the evidence for anything he might have missed. After Jada looks at the surveillance footage of Clyde at the docks, she tells Rafe there’s a problem with it. She points out the timestamp has been messed with. Which means, Clyde doesn’t have an alibi for Abigail’s murder after all.
