Days of our Lives 2-Week Spoilers Aug 3-14: Philip’s Covert Plot Unfolds & Alex Pleads!

Days of Our Lives 2-Week Spoilers for August 3-14, 2026 excite with Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) pulling off a really sneaky scheme, but with the best of intentions. And also, Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) is begging for grace.

But things shift and the rug is yanked out from under him very soon. Also, the week of August 3rd through the 14th, there is Lexie Carver’s (Nikki Crawford) second death, Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes) getting a kiss, Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) conflicted, and anxiety in Alamania. Let’s dive right in.

Days of our Lives Spoilers: EJ’s Plan Blows Up

On Monday, August 3rd, EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) plan to kidnap Kristen goes sideways. Last we saw on Friday, Lexie couldn’t get the door unlocked and it collapsed around to the side of the container. But when EJ opens the container with someone and the henchmen standing by, they are gobsmacked because it is not Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) in the container. It’s Lexie Carver (Nikki Crawford).

Despite the padlock being back on the door, looks like Kristen got out and Lexie swapped places with her. But they are going to find her collapsed and EJ rushes her to the hospital where Lexie is about to meet her maker for a second time. And that means Kristen’s on the loose. Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) is ready to bring down EJ, but he can’t do it for the Gwen kidnapping. And an unhappy Rafe tells Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) that it turns out EJ didn’t take Gwen.

It was her ex Dimitri von Leuschner (Peter Porte). And Cat’s surprised. Chad DiMera (Connor Floyd) and Belle Black (Martha Madison) postpone the trip to Italy. They have family matters that take priority. Might be about Lexie being on her deathbed, but Chad and Belle are kissing and enjoying romance even though they’re stuck in Salem.

Philip plays matchmaker and has a sneaky little scheme. He traps Xander Cook (Paul Telfer) and Sarah in the wine cellar. He’s with Gabi, so Philip wants Xander to be happy, too. And there is some sizzle. Sarah and Xander embrace. Looks like they’re about to kiss, but she is still with Brady Black (Eric Martsolf). Also this week, Philip and someone have a deep conversation at the mansion. She could be telling him he’s making a mistake reconciling with Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez), but of course, Philip won’t be deterred.

DOOL: Escape from Alamania and Family Crises

Then on Tuesday, August 4th, Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) finally finds Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) in Alamania, but it looks like Leo is injured since he’s lying on the couch at Dimitri’s place, and Gwen is worriedly checking on him. Dimitri hasn’t harmed Gwen, but she is trapped. I hope Leo didn’t get another concussion. And then Dimitri traps Leo in with Gwen and tells them, “Night night.” And the best friends look scared.

Brady needs some advice from someone on Tuesday. Could be about Kristen vanishing because obviously Rachel Black (Lorelei Mote) will be devastated. Also, Brady chats with someone about him and Sarah and how their relationship is progressing, but she still has feelings, deep feelings for Xander that Sarah can’t seem to shake, but she wants to shake them. And that may be why she tells Brady that she loves him. He’s the safer choice, but he’s not her soulmate. And of course, he’s head over heels for Sarah. She’s the most stable woman I think Brady has been with.

Xander has to face a hard truth and this may be about Sarah deciding to be with Brady despite her ongoing feelings for Xander and I’m sure he will find out soon that Sarah and Brady swapped “I love yous.” Javi Hernandez (Jacob Martinez) is worried sick about his ex Leo and of course, Gus (Michael Ocampo) won’t like that. Javi is starting to see his current boyfriend isn’t the man for him. He doesn’t like kids. He’s very jealous. And since they never gave him a last name, I think we all know he is not gonna stick around.

Days Spoilers: Alex Begs Joy to Reconsider

Wednesday, August 5th. Alex is pleading with Joy Wesley (AlexAnn Hopkins). He doesn’t want Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) pushed out of Kelsey’s life, but Alex also won’t be happy to hear that Joy was about to relent. And then Stephanie screwed it up with her accusations. She is spot on about Joy, but that doesn’t mean she needed to say it out loud when Alex is in the middle of negotiations over custody.

Lexie says goodbye to her family. Abe Carver (James Reynolds) and Theo Carver (Tyler Joseph Andrews) are in Lex’s hospital room, and Abe is furious when EJ shows up. But obviously EJ wants to say goodbye to his sister Lexie before she goes. Of course EJ’s worried about his other sister Kristen, too. And that may be why EJ goes to deliver disturbing news to Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman).

And I’m sure EJ’s going to tell him Lexie is dying. But EJ may worry since he kidnapped Kristen and she’s on the loose that she might come for Johnny again. Hopefully EJ gives Johnny a heads up. If he does though, he’ll be horrified to find out Kristen was behind Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) trying to kill him. So, we’ll see how much truth that EJ tells. Stephanie listens to Theo as he pours his heart out. He really needs a friend right now because he’s losing his mom, Lexie, for the second time. And that has to be so terribly unbearable.

Days of Our Lives: Betrayals and Medical Crises

Thursday, August 6th, Holly is hurt by a truth bomb. She’s going to feel so betrayed if that truth bomb is about her former stepdad, EJ, planting those pills. Xander and Philip’s celebration comes to a sudden halt. Gabi sent the money, but if EJ finds out, he’s going to make things harder on them. And that same day, Gabi is smug as she is happy to frustrate EJ. So, Gabi may rub it in EJ’s face that Dimitri’s money went towards bailing out Titan.

Rachel gets a secret visit from her mom, Kristen, who’s dressed as her doppelganger, Susan Banks (Stacy Haiduk). So Rachel’s at the house playing when fake Susan shows up and tells Rachel she has a message for her. That message is likely from Kristen, but we know that’s really her in disguise on Days of our Lives.

Black Patch partner Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) hit another dead end. They may be trying to find Kristen or trying to get info to nail EJ. Steve and Brady are meeting at the pub as usual. This week, Joy’s trying to pull the baby carrier off the stroller and has some debilitating thing happen with her right arm on Days of our Lives. Javi and Rafe is there to help her, and it looks like she is in agony, and poor little Kelsey is scared and crying.

DOOL Spoilers: The Future of Titan

Then on Friday, August 7th, Titan’s future hangs in the balance. EJ’s going to be livid that Gabi invested into Titan with Dimitri’s dollars. And of course, that’s the company that Stefano hated. So, EJ might make the loan terms even more onerous to punish them. Joy gets devastating news and Alex is there to support her. It looks like something serious may be wrong with her arm and maybe not even be limited to her arm.

Stephanie’s talking with Kayla Brady (Mary Beth Evans). I’m sure she’s mad about Joy’s custody demands. And I bet Stephanie assumes that Joy’s faking this medical thing for attention. Since Kayla is a doctor, she can check Joy’s records and see if it’s legit or not. But she really shouldn’t be telling Stephanie anything either way.

Javi won’t back down. He’s worried sick about Leo being in Alamania and he’s getting pushed back from his current boyfriend. Looks like he is going to turn to Rafe and wants him to go help Leo. Gwen and Leo meanwhile, are making a desperate move. Looks like they are trying to escape Dimitri’s clutches on Days of our Lives.

Days of Our Lives: Second Chances and Summer Developments

Then the week of August 10th through the 14th, we’re going to see Rafe heading to Alamania very soon. And this is where we’re going to see that thing from the summer promo with Leo offering Dimitri a bargain. Leo says, “If you don’t want to make a deal with Rafe, make one with me.”

And I wonder if the FBI guy wants info from Dimitri to use against EJ, and he may offer Dimitri something in return. But of course, he’s not going to let him keep going. EJ needs someone’s help with the ongoing situation. He knows Brady, Sarah, and Xander won’t back down.

Alex supports Joy through her medical crisis. And if Stephanie’s ranting about Joy faking it, Alex may have enough of Stephanie’s attitude because she keeps causing problems over and above the shooting at his baby mama.

Someone realizes he’s still in love with Leo, but Dimitri may have taken Leo’s bargain, which could have included them reuniting. Soon, we’re going to have Leo back to investigating the counterfeit Gabi Chic handbag scandal once he and Gwen are back in Salem.

Very soon, Julie and Foster are going to share their first kiss. I think this generational love story is amazing. Abe and Theo are grieving the loss of Lexie for the second time, and I’m hoping we get an onscreen memorial, but we may not.
