So, the day is finally here for Leo!
And even though we already know how this is going to turn out, it sure is nice to see... and to dream about 😂😂😂
The stakes did seem a little higher all throughout today's episode though. And it seemed like there was also a heightened sense of tension. The cliffhanger was actually really good too, even though Jacob Martinez's acting was a little... ehhh lol. But I appreciate that Days really took the initiative with this episode and gave us things like stock footage and different types of underwater camera angles. They just really need to take the initiative a lot more, and with other storylines and characters as well.
Regardless of that, Marlena and Dominic were the best part of today for me. I thought they both did a good job and played off of each other pretty well. Deidre really seemed to give it her all today. I liked the way that Steve was there for her too, in the end. And I'm interested in seeing what's going to happen now that Marlena's told Dominic about Stefano holding her captive at the time of his birth, and that we now know that Dominic is hoping to align himself with the Kiriakises against EJ. I could have done without the appearance from Rita though lol
But I did have mixed feelings about Lani and Xander's scenes today. The Salem PD making such a big deal about convicted felon Xander using a gun feels like a weak conflict; like the writers are making it out to be bigger than it actually is. If anything, this should be like a secondary conflict for everybody, while the primary can be something like Lani and Jada disagreeing over the way they each treat Xander, or other criminals, which could eventually spill over into their relationships with Eli and Shawn. That could end up being a much bigger and better storyline than all this stuff with Xander and the gun, IMO.
