Days of our Lives presents an emotional and intriguing episode on Tuesday. According to spoilers for June 23, 2026, Stephanie opens up to her mother while Joy terrifies Alex. Also, Sarah needs something from Xander.
What Does Joy Do?


Stephanie (Abigail Klein) knows she has to accept Joy’s terms. If Alex (Robert Scott Wilson) wants to have a relationship with his daughter, then she can’t be involved. After all, she picked up a gun and nearly killed Joy (AlexAnn Hopkins). Logically, most young mothers would not want Stephanie (Abigail Klein) around their child, at least not while she is in this state.
Taking a step back and understanding does not mean that Stephanie feels any better. She could have killed someone or at the very least, ruined Alex’s chance to be a father to his own daughter. Stephanie is hurt and wounded and confides in Kayla (Mary Beth Evans), but things might also go from bad to worse.
Spoilers say that Joy sends Alex into a complete panic. We know she runs into Steve and Kayla at the pub, but what does she do that scares Alex so much? Does something go wrong with Kelsey? Is Joy ready to go back on their agreement and keep him from seeing the baby?
Sarah Needs Xander


Xander (Paul Telfer) is happy when Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) comes to him for help. That means that all is not lost between them. Sarah doesn’t like going to Xander for anything, but she is determined to get to the bottom of what happened to Destiny. Since Xander was with her when Destiny died and helped her through those initial few shocking hours, Sarah knows she can talk to him.
Sarah is sure that Destiny and her sister died in the same way and is sure that DiMera Pharmaceuticals is somehow involved. Does Sarah think that Xander may know something via his months running DiMera Enterprises?
Brady (Eric Martsolf) is also helping Sarah with her quest. He even has the detective license to go with his detective skills now. On Tuesday, Brady officially joins Black Patch as a junior detective working with Patch himself, Steve Johnson.
Is Joy right in her decision about Stephanie? Is EJ cutting corners at DiMera Pharmaceuticals? Tells us what you think in the comments.
