Things are about to get weird and surprisingly even more dramatic in Salem, as the stakes are raised in nearly every active scheme and plot on Days of Our Lives.

Kristen DiMera Returns

Kristen DiMera (Eileen Davidson) has finally returned to town following the humiliation at her wedding to Brady (Eric Martsolf), where a tape of the night she had sex with Eric (Greg Vaughan) was played. She had drugged Eric that night, and her devious ways were revealed-forcing her out of town and out of Brady's life.

However, with her return, she wants her former groom back-and not just as a husband. She wants to have a baby and wants Brady to be the father. In an effort to get her way, she has kidnapped Daniel (Shawn Christian), and tied him to a chair in her hotel room. Now, she will threaten Daniel to bring Brady to her, so she can do what she came to Salem for.

Kate's True Feelings For Rafe Are Revealed?

Meanwhile, Sami (Alison Sweeney) may have severely underestimated Kate (Lauren Koslow) when the frenemies teamed up to take down E.J. (James Scott) as the CEO of his company, as Kate could be turning on her. She will sit down with Victor (John Aniston) and float an interesting proposal his way-one that could stab Sami in the back.

While her schemes against E.J. could suddenly be derailed however, her schemes against Abigail (Kate Mansi) seem to be working perfectly. As a new member of the hospital board, Sami checked over the rules with HR-and demanded that Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) fire Abigail for breaking a rule and sleeping with E.J.-who was a board member at the time. Kayla had no choice in the matter and was forced to relieve Abigail of her duties at the hospital-and now Abigail is furious and wants her own revenge on Sami.

Days of Our Lives airs Monday-Friday at 1 p.m. on NBC.
