At the hospital on Days of Our Lives, Sarah checked on Marlena after she felt dizzy. Marlena admitted she was stressed, not eating well, and still upset over John’s disappearance. Sarah suggested therapy, but Marlena changed the topic to Sarah’s issues with Xander to feel helpful.

Later, while doing a puzzle with Marlena, Rachel fell asleep and suddenly shouted, “No! Don’t shoot him!” Marlena was shocked, realizing Rachel might be hiding something serious.
