It’s been days since Thomas (Christopher Cary) and the Horton/Deveraux clans have heard from Chad (Billy Flynn), which they all find to be highly unusual. It was disturbing enough when Chad did not show at his own custody hearing, but Jennifer (Melissa Reeves) was willing to agree to a continuance.

However, the authorities believe that Chad has been taken, just as other DiMeras have been taken. They do not think it is a coincidence that so many DiMeras have disappeared at the same exact time, and with good reason. They are all in the family crypt and have no idea how they got there.

Knowing there may have been foul play involved, Jennifer is forced to tell Thomas that he might not see his dad for a while. That was fine with Thomas a few days ago, but now he is starting to get worried. Will Jennifer tell him that Chad could be in danger, or will she spare the child that information? Surely, she will break it to him gently.

Meanwhile, the DiMeras remain in the crypt, having no way out. Chad and Theo (Tyler Joseph Andrews) even contemplate their own mortality.

Thwarting a stalker

Stephanie (Abigail Klein) has a stalker again, which is nothing new for Stephanie, as she just rolls with the punches. However, Steve (Stephen Nichols) and Alex (Robert Scott Wilson) are overly concerned and do not want to let the strange fan mail go. To that end, Steve, Alex, and Stephanie strategize how they plan to find the crazed fan and stay safe. Stephanie and Alex would like to get this done soon, so Steve does not have to live with them and hover over them any longer.

Stephanie’s last presumed stalker, Jeremy (Michael Roark), may not be as bad as people think, as he tries to help Liam Salejko (Hank Northrop), Abe’s (James Reynolds) reading student. Does Jeremy offer Leo help with reading, since he is a teacher? Will Jeremy also learn more about Liam and his family, as we are sure he is a member of a Salem clan we knew from the 1980s?
