Days of Our Lives Spoilers Wednesday, October 17: Gabi Sets Up ‘Violent’ Encounter – Jennifer Warns Stefan – Claire Covers a Blunder

“Days of Our Lives” spoilers for Wednesday, October 17, tease that Ciara (Victoria Konefal) and Tripp (Lucas Adams) will push for answers. They just stumbled across Ben (Robert Scott Wilson) and Claire’s (Olivia Rose Keegan) handshake, so they’re definitely wondering what’s up. Of course, Claire and Ben won’t want to reveal the real reason for this gesture. They have to keep their new plan quiet.

That’s why Claire will probably take the lead here. She’s a pro at scheming and lying her way out of trouble. Claire may contend that she owed Ben an apology. She smacked him in the head with a skillet a while back, so that’d be a good reason to make amends. Claire can even mention that she gave Ben a free breakfast. She’ll do whatever she can to sell a bogus story to wary Tripp and Ciara.

Other “Days of Our Lives” spoilers say Hope (Kristian Alfonso) will ponder a theory. She’d been narrowing down with list of suspects with Rafe (Galen Gering), but they still don’t have an official culprit. Naturally, we’re talking about the arson case and who might’ve framed Ben.

Hope will have an inkling about the person responsible, so she’ll share her notion with Rafe. They’ll mull over the facts and try to determine if there’s any truth to this new theory. With any luck, maybe they’ll finally get somewhere.

Elsewhere, Stefan (Tyler Christopher) and Jennifer (Melissa Reeves) will face off. DOOL fans know that Stefan believes “Gabby” has returned. That’s because of Gabi (Camila Banus) and her sneaky plot. “Days” spoilers say Stefan will be awfully smug in Wednesday’s episode. During his chat with Jen, Stefan may do a little gloating. He’ll certainly be hopeful about his future with Abigail’s (Marci Miller) alter.

However, Stefan will also have a few questions to ask. He may be looking for more proof or even ways to nudge this process along. The sooner Stefan reunites with “Gabby,” the better – at least according to him. Jennifer, on the other hand, will just want Stefan out of the picture. She’ll insist that he needs to steer clear of Abigail or else!

Across town, Gabi will pull off a shocker. She’ll drug Abigail, put her in the typical “Gabby” garb and stage a crazy scene. “Days” spoilers say Gabi will finish things off by hitting herself in the face. She’ll use a pan to deliver the blow and hope to convince Chad (Billy Flynn) that Abby’s turned violent.
