Days Recap Today
Konstantin demands that Theresa kidnap baby Victoria. She is reluctant, but he says he has Alex on speed dial and threatens to call him. She stops him and begs him not to make that call. He wants to win over Sarah. Theresa, dressed in her hoodie, takes Victoria out of the crib.
When Maggie returns and sees what's happening, she shouts at the person, who then races out with the child. In the commotion, Maggie finds Konstantin lying on the ground and asks him what happened. He tells her to call for help while he goes to rescue Victoria.
Xander confronts Sarah about adding Brady Black to her witness list. Sarah strongly defends her decision, stating that she will do anything to safeguard her daughter's future. She reasons that if Xander can reach out to Eric, then she can call Brady, who is Eric's brother. Sarah also admits that while she doesn't regret having her daughter, she does regret that Xander is the father. Sarah is threatening to take legal action against Xander as he is determined to portray her as an unfit mother. Xander argues that what happened between him and Brady is irrelevant to their case, but Sarah disagrees. She firmly believes that once a judge hears about his actions, there is no way he or his aggressive lawyer can convince anyone that he should be allowed near a child. Sarah gets a call from her mom informing her that Victoria's gone; someone kidnapped her. Sarah accuses Xander of doing this to make her look unfit at the hearing. Xander denies it and urges them to go to the house.
