'Days of Our Lives' (DOOL) spoilers: It is a brand new week and there is undoubtedly new drama in DOOL. Today's episode is all about shocking surprises, suspicions, confrontations, and situations no one would want to find themselves in. Grab your popcorn and the best seat in front of your TV because you will not want to miss a second of this nail-biting episode.

Today's episode starts off with suspicions all leading to Hope (Kristian Alfonso). Rafe (Galen Gering) and Shawn (Brandon Beemer) have spent a lot of time wondering about the evidence that Hope found, which claims that Ben (Robert Scott Wilson) was the one who started the fire in the cabin. Although the cops had searched that cabin for weeks together and had come up with nothing, Hope, on the other hand, reveals she has come up with evidence, out of the blue. 

Finally, the duo comes to the realization that Hope has been quite desperate to keep Ben away from Ciara (Victoria Konefal) and maybe to achieve that, she would have taken drastic measures and done something she should not have. In the end, they decide that the best way to get the truth out of her is by confronting her, so they take a leap of faith and decide to question her. Well, we don't know how that will end, but why don't we wait and see if the duo succeeds in getting the truth out of her, because as we all know Hope is quite stubborn. 

Speaking of truth and honesty, SoapHub reveals that Eric (Greg Vaughan) finds himself in a situation he didn't expect, especially one which includes his brother and fiance. We will witness Eric being shell-shocked when he gets to know the truth that Nicole (Arianne Zucker) fled the town with Holly. But that is not the only thing that leaves him stunned, he is in for a bigger shock when it is revealed that Jennifer (Melissa Reeves) knew about this, but kept the secret from him (Now, Jennifer, that is not how a fiance is supposed to behave). Just when Eric thought he had his life finally sorted and figured out he is hit with the harsh truth that he has been betrayed by the two people he believed in most (Poor Eric).

Meanwhile, Brady (Eric Martsolf) finds himself caught in an emotional rollercoaster he did expect to be in. He is clueless about what's in store for him when he discovers an upsetting news about Tate. Not only does he have to deal with trouble from his brother, now he has to deal with trouble from his son too... Poor Brady is stuck in a sticky situation, but little does he know it does not end here and he is up for more soon. 

Speaking of sticky situations, we're finally back to trouble in paradise, John's paradise to be exact. John (Drake Hogestyn) finds himself stuck in a deep bowl of hot soup with Hattie (Deidre Hall). She has started to show her true colors and she is quite sneaky. Pretending to be Marlena is not all she wants, she wants to have whatever Marlena has and would have had before the accident. No idea what it is? Well, she wants to finish whatever was stopped in Horton Square. Meaning, she wants to tie the knot with John. And with poor Marlena stuck in a ventilator on a secret hospital floor, John just hopes she recovers soon enough, but till then he has to keep juggling back and forth dealing with both women.
