"Days Of Our Lives" soap recap

Last week, Kate gathered her belongings at the Kiriakis mansion and Deimos warned her that it’s her last time she sets foot there. Kate didn’t take this well and called a friend to meet her. It turned out to be Andre. Later, Deimos told Nicole that Kate is out of his life. Nicole pretended not to care, but Deimos didn’t buy it. He offered to have a fresh start with her, but Nicole was having a hard time to trust him. When Deimos went to Victor’s townhouse, the older man attempted to kick him out. “Go back to hell, the sooner the better,” Victor said. Deimos refused to leave and claimed he wanted to make peace.
