Days of our Lives: Sarah’s Patient Tragedy Brings Liam Back – Gabi in Huge Trouble!

Days of Our Lives reveals Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) tragically lost a patient from the free clinic. Her name was Destiny and she came in sick and she told Sarah she took some pills but didn’t know what she took and then she wound up collapsing in Horton Town Square. Xander Cook (Paul Telfer) was there to call 911 and Javi Hernandez (Al Calderon) and JJ Deveraux (Casey Moss) happened to stroll by.

But despite two EMTs and a doctor on hand, Destiny died and later an upset Sarah told Xander that Destiny had a link to Liam Selejko (Hank Northrop) and that means big trouble is coming for Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez).

Days of our Lives: Sarah’s New Patient

Recently, Sarah saw the new patient. Destiny came into the free clinic complaining about nausea and severe headaches, wondering if she was going to get terrible care because it’s free. And she kept insisting she was in intense pain. And Sarah was sympathetic, but she refused to give Destiny pain meds until they figured out what was wrong. So, she was really angry at Sarah.

Plus, Destiny admitted to taking unknown pills from the medicine cabinet because she was feeling bad. And to me, that made her seem like a pill seeking problem patient, you know, like addict behavior. Sarah wanted to run more tests, but Destiny got upset and she ran out of the free clinic griping that Sarah didn’t help her at all.

Days of our Lives: Destiny’s Collapse

And later, when Sarah saw Destiny in the square, she told Sarah she was actually on her way back to the hospital because she felt worse. But then Destiny just dropped down to the ground like a rock. Out of it, no pulse. Xander ran over while Sarah was doing CPR. And even with JJ and Javi there with all their gear, it was just sadly too late.

And now Sarah is eaten up with guilt for not doing more to get Destiny to stay at the clinic and figure out what was wrong. And to top it off, Sarah had to break the news to her family. And she had to admit to them she couldn’t save Destiny on Days of our Lives.

Days of our Lives: A Troubling Connection

And then Sarah went through Destiny’s medical records looking for info. And Sarah found out that Destiny’s family had a double dose of tragedy because 2 years ago her sister died of what was presumed to be an overdose. However, the autopsy results were indeterminate. So, it was very sad for their parents for sure. And then Sarah noticed that Liam Selejko was named as Destiny’s emergency contact.

So the plot thickens and it turns out that Destiny’s dead sister Clea is the mother of Liam’s son. Presumably she has this dead sister and then the emergency contact. So doing the math because he has talked about his ex overdosing and it was Destiny’s sister he seemed to be talking about.

So Sarah’s eager to talk to Liam about Destiny and Clea both because Sarah feels there’s a connection. She thinks it’s strange two sisters died of similar circumstances within a few years of each other and it is. So maybe Destiny and Clea had some underlying medical condition. They were both drug users, but Sarah’s wondering if there’s more to it. And if you remember, Clea’s autopsy was imprecise, but Liam told Arianna “Ari” Horton (Vico Escorcia) that she had died from an overdose. So that means Liam knew she was doing drugs.

Gabi’s Secret Comes Crashing Down on DOOL

This Sarah thing could end up though bringing big trouble to Gabi because this week Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering), Ari and Gabi were celebrating Ari’s birthday. And while Gabi stepped away to chat with Xander, Ari was grilling her uncle Rafe. She wanted him to help her locate Liam. And Rafe refused. And Ari said, “Fine, I’ll find Liam myself.” Ari was also suspicious because Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes) was there on a date and gave Gabi a friendly wave.

Ari knows exactly how much Gabi and Julie hate each other. So Ari immediately clocked that as a red flag, but we know Julie did Gabi a solid and helped handle Liam’s parole to get him out of Salem because Gabi doesn’t think Liam is right for her precious Ari. So much so that Gabi wrote Liam a big check and took care of his parole issues. That way he could take his son and leave, get a fresh start.

Days of our Lives: History Repeating

But Ari, you know, likes older guys and she prefers bad boys. If you remember, she was with con man Doug when he was in town for a while. And then, of course, low-level criminal Liam caught Ari’s eye until Gabi managed to run him off.

So Ari has no idea that Gabi forced him out of town with a big bribe. And of course, Ari and Liam weren’t officially dating, but they were getting close. And they had just shared their very first kiss, and it was magic. And Ari told him that Gabi wouldn’t judge him because she had been to prison a couple of times herself. But guess what? She did judge Liam. And so Gabi tried to convince Ari to stay away from him because of his troubled past and connection to the Demir kidnappings. And when Ari wouldn’t cut ties, Gabi cut them for her.

Days of our Lives: A Day of Reckoning Ahead

And that means there is a day of reckoning coming. It’s like Gabi learned nothing from how badly she screwed up with Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier). That’s another case of Gabi lying and plotting against a loved one and it came back to blow up in her face. So I think that Gabi bribing Liam and getting him to leave town is going to come out soon and I fully expect Ari to explode on her mom. Sarah is going to try and find Liam and she might be able to use official resources because he is the emergency contact and this all ties back to her dead patient Destiny.

Obviously, the parole board will know where Liam is. And once Sarah brings him to town because of this Destiny issue, I can see it going a couple of ways. One, Ari spots him and rushes over to confront him about why Liam left and hasn’t answered her calls or texts and is just ghosting her. Or Ari might roll up on Gabi chewing out Liam for daring to come back to Salem. Either way, Gabi’s going to wind up outed because of Sarah trying to get more info on the patient that she lost.

Days of our Lives: Liam’s Redemption Path

And of course, if you’re a mom like me, you probably get why Gabi wanted Liam away from Ari. The guy has issues. But to his credit, he was trying to make a better life for his son after the shooting incident.

Liam got a job at Julie’s bookstore. He was doing his parole. He was working on his literacy. And he was trying to stay on the straight and narrow and be a good example for his son. And Ari was thrilled that she could pop into the bookstore and see her crush Liam whenever she wanted. And he seemed genuinely into Ari, especially after she took care of Liam and let him hide in her dorm room after he was grazed by that bullet when Vivian’s thug tried to kill him and shot Shawn Brady (Brandon Beemer) and then grazed him as well.

So obviously Ari’s going to be beyond excited when she sees that Liam’s back in Salem. And then Ari’s going to be furious to find out why he left. And you know, she’s not going to stop until she finds out. I don’t think he will rat out Gabi immediately, but it’s going to come out. So Sarah’s medical curiosity is about to bite Gabi right in her perky backside. And there is no telling how bad it’s going to get when Ari finds out what her mom Gabi did. And this Destiny thing could actually be the launch pad for that tainted pill plot that came up in the big summer promo for Days of Our Lives. So, buckle up. It’s about to be a wild ride.
