Days of our Lives: Lexie Crashes Will Reading & Stuns the DiMeras!

Days of Our Lives prepares for Lexie Carver‘s (Renée Jones) comeback, and the time is almost here. Official Days spoilers said that she was going to wake up. That was in early April, but that was actually a big old fib because she only woke up in Theo Carver‘s (Tyler Joseph Andrews) daydream.

But soon, Lexie should wake up for real. And I’m wondering if Dr. Wilhelm Rolf’s (Richard Wharton) miracle serum brings Lexie fully back to life just in time for the DiMera family gathering to hear Stefano DiMera’s (Joseph Mascolo) will read.

EJ Banking on Dr. Rolf’s Miracle Serum on Days of Our Lives

I mean, I think we can all agree it has been way too long waiting for Lexie to wake up. Her brother EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) adores Lexie and he’s banking on Dr. Rolf’s mad science wizardry to bring his dead sister back to life. And with May sweeps in full swing and the reading of Stefano’s will hopefully kicking off this Friday, but carrying over into the following week, this is the perfect time for Lexie to join Theo and Abe Carver (James Reynolds) in the land of the living once again.

Since late last fall, EJ and Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) have been secretly investing in Dr. Rolf’s medical technology that blended his resurrection serum with the miracle drug Versix. That’s the same drug that brought a comatose Bo Brady (Peter Reckell) back from the brink of death from sepsis.

So, we also know that one of Stefano’s final wishes was to save his daughter Lexie from the inoperable cancerous brain tumor that took her life. So, it looks like Rolf had Lexie stashed in a person pod all these years until medical advancements caught up to make her resurrection possible.

Paulina Threatened by EJ on DOOL

And EJ first showed nosy mayor Paulina Price (Jackee Harry) that he had Lexie in the person pod. EJ’s reveal came with threats about what he would tell her husband, Abe. Now, this was when Paulina was poking into the secret lab and trying to threaten EJ because Paulina wanted to know why the lab and the free clinic were using such an excessive amount of electricity.

It caused a blackout last Autumn. And of course, EJ had ulterior motives by showing Paulina that Theo’s mom, Lexie, had been pulled from the jaws of death. For one thing, EJ knows that Paulina wouldn’t play God and pull the plug on Lexie by shutting down all the power in the lab. And EJ’s move worked. Paulina had to back off about the power pole.

Lexie Moved Before Police Could Find Her on Days

And at that point, Lexie was still touch-and-go when EJ showed Paulina what he had done. And he was pretty honest about it, I think. Unfortunately, Dr. Rolf’s creepy night watchman, Owen Kent (Wes Ramsey), kidnapped Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) and Jeremy Horton (Michael Roark) and kept them in the storage closet behind the lab. That shifted everything because it forced EJ to have Rolf move Lexie before someone discovered her. Now EJ and Rolf are monitoring her and Theo’s visiting often, just waiting for Lexie’s brain activity to increase to the point that she wakes up from her long sleep on Days of our Lives.

And EJ was planning to reintroduce his sister Lexie to Salem when the time was right, but it may be out of EJ’s hands. So, right now, Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) and Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) and the cops and several others know about the person pod, but they can only make guesses about who was in it. And right now, they’re thinking Abigail Deveraux (Marci Miller).

And that’s because Rolf had already moved Lexie from the room when the police got in there to poke around everything. So, she’s down underneath the DiMera mansion where Rolf has equipped the room with all the necessary medical devices and supplies. That’s where EJ brought Theo and showed him his mom was alive again and being healed by Rolf’s medicine.

Days of our Lives: EJ Plotting with Abe

Not only did EJ want Theo to see that Lexie was coming back, but EJ also wanted Theo to be solely focused on Lexie so that he would step down as CEO of DiMera, which would let Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) keep the position.

Now neither Theo nor Johnny knows that their dads Abe and EJ were conspiring to ensure this transfer of power. But Theo knows that his mom would not want him working for his no good Stefano’s family empire. So Theo did what EJ nudged him to do and he walked away.

Lexie Showing Signs of Life on DOOL

And now that Lexie is on the verge of waking up, Theo is spending as much time as he can holding her hand, sitting at her bedside. And Lexie is showing more signs of life little by little. Recently, she reached out for Theo’s hand, but Rolf hasn’t found many other promising signs that Lexie’s coming out of her deep sleep just yet.

No other signs of consciousness. However, Lexie’s status could change at any moment. And this week, Theo is having mixed feelings about Lexie’s resurrection. You know, Theo hasn’t told his dad Abe yet. I think Theo wants to make sure Lexie will survive before he gets Abe’s hopes up.

And this has been weighing really heavily on Theo. It’s a big burden to carry and he really can’t tell anybody. So, he knows if and when Lexie recovers and wakes, it will affect him and Abe and Paulina and her daughters and a lot of other people.

Now, ultimately, Theo knows that when Lexie wakes up, she’s going to want her life back with her husband Abe. And not only is Theo thinking about what will happen when Lexie wakes, but he’s also stressed out about being named the executor of Stefano’s will out of the blue.

The DiMera Family Gathers for Will Reading

So, the family is going to gather the end of this week at the mansion as arranged by EJ’s assistant, Cat Green (AnnaLynne McCord). And of course, EJ was just as thundered as Theo. That codicil swap that moved EJ out and Theo in as the executor of Stefano’s will surprised them both.

And by Friday and then carrying over into next week, we’re going to have Theo overseeing the gathering with Cat likely on hand. Abe’s going to be there to represent Lexie’s interest. Anna and Tony are back in Salem this week. Chad DiMera (Connor Floyd) is going to be there, too, along with Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) and of course EJ.

And that means Lexie is probably going to be left unattended during this gathering when everybody shows up to find out about Stefano’s wicked last wishes in his will. I also expect Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) may crash and claim that she is Stefan’s widow, not his ex-wife, because the divorce papers were forged by Vivian Alamain. But I think the biggest surprise at the will reading would be a second crasher if Lexie Carver crashes the will reading.

Lexie Could Crash The Will Reading on Days of Our Lives

I do think that while this is going on, we could see Rolf taking a break or napping and that could be when Lexie wakes up on her own alone in the room and she wanders upstairs to where the DiMeras are all congregated in the living room.

You know, Theo may be reading the contents of the will and then his jaw drops because his mom Lexie walks out of the secret doorway into the living room coming up out of the DiMera tunnels.

That would be something that would stun the whole family, plus Abe and Theo and the fans. You know, Lexie was always a fierce mama bear when it came to her son Theo. So, I think it would be the most dramatic time for Lexie to make her first appearance, fully awake and back from the tragically dead right as Theo is standing there reading Stefano’s will.

I think that would be the soapiest outcome and the most May sweeps thing that the writers could do. Plus, I think Theo and EJ and the fans have all been very patient and we’ve all waited long enough for Lexie to come back. So, I really hope she walks right into that will reading and stuns everybody.
