Long-running soap opera "Days of Our Lives" offers second chances, as well as conflicts and drama, next week. 

"Days of Our Lives" spoilers for the week of Dec. 11-15 reveal that Will (Chandler Massey) might give his mother Sami (Alison Sweeney) a chance. Meanwhile, there will be more conflicts involving different characters, while Hope (Kristian Alfonso) and Rafe (Galen Gering) will be back in each other's arms.

After a conversation with Eric (Greg Vaughan), Will will have a change of heart toward Sami. He will tell her that he is open to get to know more about her. Sami will be happy about this news. The two will have a heartfelt chat and will work on their recent issues. Sami will admit her flaws as a mother and as a person, but she will do her best to show her love for Will.

The mother and son will share a warm embrace, and Sami will express her gratitude for their reunion. She will inform Will about her plan to leave Salem to visit his siblings, Allie, Sydney, and Johnny. Before leaving, Sami will buy a gift for Will, which is a journal since she wants Will to write about his life in it.

Sami will also say good-bye to Marlena (Deidre Hall), John (Drake Hogestyn), and to the rest of her family. Eric and Roman (Josh Taylor) will send her to the airport. However, fans need not worry since Sami will be back.

In the same episode, Sami will return the engagement ring of Hope to Rafe. Apparently, Rafe dropped this in Sami's house when he slept with her. Sami will be stuck in an awkward situation with Hope when she meets Rafe. Meanwhile, Hope and Rafe will overcome their problems and rekindle their romance.

On the other hand, Sonny (Freddie Smith) will learn about Paul (Christopher Sean) and Will's kiss. Despite that information, he will still ask Will to give their relationship a chance. Also, there will be a conflict between Hope and Ciara (Victoria Konefal). Fans will know the reason behind their argument next week when the series returns.

Aside from that, Kate (Lauren Koslow) will have a fight with Steve (Stephen Nichols) and Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) regarding her involvement in Theo's (Kyler Pettis) shooting and in blackmailing Tripp (Lucas Adams). Although an opportunity will arise for Kayla to expose Kate to Eli (Lamon Archey), Kayla will not do it. Hence, Steve will look for another way for Kate to involve herself.

"Days of Our Lives" airs Mondays to Fridays at 1:00 p.m. EST on NBC.
