Thursday on "Days of Our Lives," Kate went to TBD thinking that she was meeting Clyde, only to see Stefano who told her that he's back. She asked him if he used Clyde's phone to text her. Kate called 911 and said that there was a wanted man with her right now. Hope showed up with a police officer and Stefano smiled while she arrested him. 

At the hospital, Nicole dreamed about kissing Eric and she shook her head. Daniel arrived and he told her that it was him, Serena, and Brady who found them. Nicole told him that Xander and Serena were smuggling blood diamonds from Africa. Daniel was shocked and realized that was what was in the secret compartment in the elephant statue. She said that Xander is a murderer but Victor got his sentence shortened. 

Elsewhere in the hospital, Serena ran into Marlena, who was very cold toward her. Marlena blamed her for what happened to Eric and she told Serena to stay away from her son forever. Later, Abe approached Serena to get her statement, and Serena was about to do so when Daniel intervened, saying that he'd help if she refuses to talk. Serena asked for a lawyer. 

Meanwhile, Xander was being held at a basement, and Victor told him that he betrayed his trust. He told Xander that Nicole and Eric were rescued. Xander denied that he tried to kill them but Victor didn't believe him. He threw an envelope at Xander's feet and said that he knew that he was going to use the money to run away. Xander said that he did it to protect him because Nicole was about to talk about everything that he did wrong. Victor's henchmen brought a knife to Xander's neck. 

Here's what to expect on "Days of Our Lives" on Friday, June 26: Eric and Nicole try to deal with consequences; Sonny learns of Will's machinations; Will turns to Kate for a favor; Theresa runs into a roadblock to happiness.
