Days of our Lives: Lani Exposes Lexie’s Stunning Secret – Shocking Reveal Ahead!

Days of Our Lives sees that Paulina Price (Jackee Harry) just asked Lani Price (Sal Stowers) if she could help investigate Lexie Carver (Nikki Crawford) and her suspicious solo trip to South Africa.

So, it could be Lani who finds out that Lexie has been lying to Abe Carver (James Reynolds) and Theo Carver (Tyler Joseph Andrews) and that she never even left town.

Paulina Suspicious on Days of our Lives

All right, let’s dive in. This week, Mayor Paulina ran into Lani slinging scones for her sister Chanel Dupree’s (Raven Bowens) bakery, Sweet Bits. And Mama P has already been questioning Lexie’s sudden trip to South Africa. Because the facts just don’t add up to Paulina.

Ever since Lexie was resurrected and came back into Abe’s life, we have seen that Lexie has been, I’d say, aggressive, protective, possessive, and territorial when it comes to Abe. And now all of a sudden, Lexie decided to just ditch him and go visit her mom in Johannesburg.

So, it’s natural that she’d want to see her mom, Celeste Perrault (Beverly Todd), after being presumed dead for fifteen years. But it makes no sense for Lexie to take that trip without Theo and Abe.

Paulina Enlists Lani’s Help on DOOL

So, Paulina is wondering why Lexie would suddenly decide to run off out of Salem, especially when Abe’s birthday is right around the corner. Why would Lexie, who had been resurrected only four short months ago, take a solo one-way trip halfway across the world?

None of this adds up for Paulina, but Lani reminded her mom and said, “I thought you were staying out of Abe’s business now that he’s back with Lexie.” And Paulina gave a ridiculous excuse. She said as mayor, she’s concerned about her constituency. I don’t think Lexie was around to vote for her, but okay.

And Paulina is certain that something is amiss with Lexie traveling so far away on her own. And bottom line, Abe and Theo, neither one like it. So, Lexie was insistent with them and since Lani’s a former cop and her husband Eli Grant (Lamon Archey) is an FBI special agent, surely Lani could help dig into what is going on with Lexie.

Lani’s Investigation Begins on Days

Then later when Lani ran into her brother Theo, she saw that he was also really concerned about Lexie just up and taking off on this trip all alone. Seeing Theo’s concern about his mom’s sudden departure and then Paulina’s concern, it was gradually pulling Lani in.

And she was also surprised when Theo mentioned he didn’t know when Lexie would be back. And Theo said Lexie only bought a one-way ticket. But instead of going to South Africa, as viewers know, Lexie and her sister Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) decided to take advantage of EJ DiMera’s (Dan Feuerriegel) plan to nab Kristen and send her to one of the family’s remote islands.

But EJ and Rita Lesley (Maggie Carney) found in the shipping container instead of Kristen, it was Lexie just chilling on the bean bag. So, Rita and EJ might not have even found out about this swap if not for Chad DiMera (Connor Floyd) letting Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) run off with the family jet. So, they had to go to the container to check on Kristen.

Days of our Lives: EJ Supports Lexie

And when Lexie told EJ she just wants to go to the island and die in peace and not put Abe and their son Theo through that, EJ thought about it and was like, “No, you’re not going to the island.” He didn’t want Lexie dying alone. So, EJ insisted that she come home with him. And he promised he would care for Lexie and would be there the whole time so she wouldn’t have to die alone.

But EJ also warned Lexie that he thinks she’s making a mistake. EJ thinks Lexie should tell Abe and Theo what is happening and you know just go ahead and reveal that she fibbed about going to South Africa. EJ knows Abe and his nephew Theo will be crushed if Lexie dies without them by her side and without them getting a chance to say one final goodbye to her.

But Lexie asked EJ to keep his lips shut and just send the letters to Abe and Theo that she’s writing to keep the ruse going. And Lexie also begged EJ to please reconsider sending Kristen away forever away from her daughter Rachel Black (Lorelei Olivia Mote), but he’s not going to. So, even though EJ’s torn about hiding his sister Lexie from Abe and Theo, I think he’ll keep on doing what Lexie wants and keep her hidden in the basement, at least for now.

Red Flags and Discovery on DOOL

But Paulina has Lani out on the prowl. And Paulina told Lani that even though Abe thought the trip was a bit weird because she never booked a return flight, he’s still not asking the right questions. So Paulina was also wondering if maybe Lexie’s had some change of heart about Abe. And that that’s why Lexie decided to abruptly leave the way she did on Days of our Lives.

And nothing could be further from the truth. That may be just wishful thinking on Paulina’s part. But Lani told her mom she can’t make any promises, but she will warm up her old detective skills and see what she can do. So, Lani may go question Eli and see if she can get any answers. And of course, Lani knows her brother Theo is worried about this sudden decision to fly off to South Africa.

And Theo also said he and Abe wanted to fly with Lexie, but she just shut that down immediately. So, there’s a lot of red flags. And of course, the main one she’s been hiding is the fact that she’s dying again and that Dr. Wilhelm Rolf’s (Richard Wharton) miracle serum isn’t quite so miraculous after all.

Days of our Lives: Abe & Theo in the Dark

Theo and Abe have no idea that Lexie could go any day now. And a very worried Theo told Lani that his mom contacted him, but when she made the call, the service was sketchy. And Theo said it was a don’t call me, I’ll call you situation. So, I wonder if Lani reaches out or, you know, has Abe reach out to talk to Celeste about Lexie’s visit because if she’s not there, that’s a huge red flag. And maybe Eli can check flight logs to see if Lexie got on a plane leaving Salem in the first place.

And they can just ping the cell phone tower. If they can triangulate the signal from Lexie’s call to Theo, then they may realize, oh, she’s lying. She’s right here in Salem. And I also wonder if Lani will question EJ. She may go over to the mansion since, of course, he’s the one who brought Lexie back from the dead and is her brother. So Lani may be able to tell that EJ is lying and twitchy because of her former career as a Salem PD detective. So if Lani’s asking questions and EJ’s looking all around with not good answers, you know, that may keep Lani poking.

Lexie Takes a Turn for the Worst on Days

We know Lexie winds up in the hospital again. There’s a scene in the summer promo. Lexie on her deathbed. Abe yelling at EJ to leave. So, Abe may be furious that EJ was hiding dying Lexie at the mansion. So far, you know, she has had Theo and Abe completely in the dark, and they’re going to be so devastated.

And Lexie knows it, but I don’t think she’s thinking through how devastated they’d be that she went off to die alone without them. But EJ may have a change of heart and just take Lexie to the hospital himself. Maybe the next time she falls into one of her unconscious spells that she has. If Lani finds Lexie at the mansion, of course, everybody will assume the worst of EJ.

And by the way, a lot of fans, maybe you, are angry that they bring Lexie back just to kill her off again so soon. But the writers may have something else in mind. Lexie may experience some sort of divine intervention or Dr. Rolf shows up with a Hail Mary cure, but I don’t think that’s going to happen because we know the actress is gone.

And so it sounds like either Lexie passes away or maybe EJ puts her back in a cryogenic pod after she seems to pass away so they can try again later to bring her back, which seems cruel. But first, Lani or somebody else has to find Lexie or EJ has a crisis of conscience and brings her to the hospital. We’ll see how it goes, but grab your tissues. It’s going to be an emotional roller coaster.
