Days of our Lives Spoilers, May 21: Sarah confronts Xander over Philip's beating

Here are your Days of our Lives spoilers for Wednesday, May 21, 2025.

What to expect on Days of our Lives

As soon as Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) was brought into the ER, Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) had a feeling she knew what had happened. Xander (Paul Telfer) finally snapped and turned to violence, as she feared he would. Sarah doesn't want to believe it was Xander who beat up Philip, but she knows she has to confront him about it. So, she just does that when she returns home to the Kiriakis mansion.

Will Xander defend his actions or confront Sarah with his own questions? Before Philip lost consciousness, Xander asked Philip who else he had brought into his web of lies. Philip uttered Sarah's name, leaving Xander suspicious. If Xander asks Sarah if she knew the letter was a forgery, will she finally tell the truth or will she dig herself into a deeper hole?

Will she even get the chance? It looks like Xander is hauled down to the Salem PD for questioning. This time, it wouldn't even be false accusations. Xander is guilty as sin, and he and Sarah know it. How will Xander get out of this one when the evidence is so stacked against him? Maybe he doesn't even deserve to get out of it.

Stephanie's warning

When Alex (Robert Scott Wilson) and Stephanie (Abigail Klein) run into Cat (AnnaLynne McCord) and Chad (Billy Flynn) at Small Bar, Stephanie has some advice to give Cat, woman to woman. Stephanie can tell that Cat has a thing for Chad and she knows how that goes.

Stephanie also had a thing for Chad and even moved in with him, becoming a surrogate mom to Chad's kids. However, Chad wasn't ready for a relationship as he was still mourning his late wife. Chad's jealous streak also came out when Everett (Blake Berris) arrived in Salem.

Stephanie might be happy with Alex now, but she doesn't want any woman to go through what she went through with Chad. Cat already knows that Chad isn't ready to seriously date because she heard him tell Maggie just that. Will Stephanie's warning cause her to stay away from Chad altogether? Perhaps she will gravitate toward EJ...
