Welcome to Days of our Lives Daily Y.A.P.P. (Your After-Program Ponderings) for a quick — and by that, I mean you’re already halfway done — recap of the most amazing or what-the-heck-did-we-just-watch moments on today’s episode. Let’s get to it:

What happened on Days of our Lives

Talk about a wedding letdown! Within five minutes of Dimitri Von Leuchner being back in town and telling him their breakup was under false pretenses, Javi was ready to give Leo up. He sadly declared that they weren't married anyway and was ready to tell Marlena not to file the marriage license with the court until Leo knew who and what he really wanted. We think that Leo made it perfectly clear who he wanted with his wedding vows and by the way he adamantly told Dimitri that he was with Javi now. But Javi just walked away without a fight, which was disappointing considering the romantic wedding we just witnessed. So, now what? Will Javi just let Leo be with Dimitri after all this if Leo has a hard time deciding? Or will Javi do what we all want him to do and fight? We are not used to characters giving up this easily when an ex walks back into the picture, at least an ex whom someone barely had a relationship with. How long were Leo and Dimitri even together for anyone to have considered this a love story? They spent most of their time running from the law and hiding from Gwen. At least Leo has a true deep relationship with Javi, which is why his attitude when Dimitri appeared was so baffling.
