What to expect on Days of our Lives

EJ (Daniel Feuerriegel) doesn't like that Gwen (Emily O'Brien) has been going rogue behind his back and doing all sorts of things that he doesn't approve of. For starters, he brought Dimitri (Peter Porte) back to Salem and into their lives when EJ expressly told Gwen not to. Gwen went on defense, but that wasn't enough. She feels she needs to call in the big guns.
To that end, it appears that Gwen calls Vivian Alamain (Louise Sorel) to help her with a brand-new plan. Vivian is always up to something, and since Dimitri was in Alamania, she thinks that Vivian can help her keep EJ off her scent. Vivian loves a good plot and especially enjoys causing chaos in Salem, so she is ready to fly in and do what needs to be done.
Meanwhile, Gwen's little plan to ruin Leo's (Greg Rikaart) life seems to be working. He is lonely without Javi and misses him terribly, but he also can't seem to get Dimitri off his mind. That is exactly what Gwen and Dimitri want.
Marlena puts Xander on notice

Although Xander (Paul Telfer) has come a long way with therapy, he hasn't come far enough and still often lashes out and loses his temper. Knowing that Xander fired Brady (Eric Martsolf) leaves Marlena (Deidre Hall) concerned, so she becomes stern with Xander and warns him that he might soon have a setback.
We expect Xander to be contrite and sincerely want to try harder, but can he do it? Xander has always had a quick temper, with anger always brewing beneath the surface. He might need a lot more therapy to control it.
While Xander gets a lecture from Marlena, Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) decides to be honest with Brady. Does she tell him that she is not sure of her feelings for him or does she want to pursue a relationship further? Sarah seems a bit confused when it comes to her heart's desire. Could this be a turning point in either direction for Sarah and Brady?
