Days of our Lives spoilers for Friday, August 8 see Belle going off on EJ, while Johnny fears he’ll be going off to prison, requiring Marlena to step in.

Belle Lashes Out at EJ

Belle (Martha Madison) is Johnny’s (Carson Boatman) aunt. This makes prosecuting him for EJ’s (Dan Feuerriegel) attempted murder difficult.

EJ is Johnny’s father. That’s why he’s defending his son. Belle and EJ are also sleeping together. Which makes all of the above a lot more complicated.

The two can’t quite decide where they stand. One minute, they’re at each other’s throats. The next, they are at… some other parts. One minute they’re kicking and screaming, the next they’re kissing and smooching. Which one will it be this Friday? That would be the angry side of their relationship, as Belle has some fighting words for EJ.

Marlena Comforts Johnny

While his father and his aunt figure out their complicated relationship, Johnny worries that his situation is just getting worse. Can they take a moment to focus on him? The star of the hour?

Regardless of what they decide, Johnny still has a trial to get through, survive, and hopefully be declared innocent. He’s about to lose it. Which is when Marlena (Deidre Hall) steps up to reassure her grandson. She calms him down. But will she affect his future?

Gabi Wants Xander’s Secrets

Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) and Xander (Paul Telfer) may be getting along better these days, but that doesn’t mean she’s forgotten Tony’s (Thaao Penghlis) offer: She helps him take over Titan, and Gabi can run the whole thing! Sure. Let’s give it a shot. Which means it’s time to ask Xander some very pertinent questions… now that they’re friends, and stuff.

Sarah Shocks Brady

Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) and Brady (Eric Martsolf) have also gotten friendlier lately. But she’s got quite a shocking reveal for him. Will this change everything? For them? Or is this about Tate (Leo Howard) and the son he doesn’t know about?

Meanwhile, Chad (Billy Flynn) is there for Cat (AnnaLynne McCord). Again. This ISA agent is pretty helpless, isn’t she?
