One Fateful Night, Days Of Our Lives

Past and present converged exquisitely as Head Writer Ron Carlivati and Co. crafted the ultimate payoff week, answered key time jump questions — how Adrienne and Haley died — and revealed some explosive new twists.

On Mother’s Day, both Kristen and Sarah went into labor. Kristen and Brady arrived at the hospital first, and after a difficult delivery, welcomed a baby girl. Meanwhile, Adrienne was forced to pinchhit as Sarah’s driver when Summer arrived for a vengeful visit with mother Maggie. She blamed Maggie for her alcoholism, announced she had cirrhosis and was dying, downed a shot of booze and left. The encounter powerfully showcased Suzanne Rogers as Maggie sobbed, trembled and contemplated taking a drink.

En route to the hospital, Adrienne and Sarah crashed, seemingly because of Will, who veered into their lane while he was texting Sami a happy Mother’s Day. Will summoned an ambulance; Xander arrived and found Maggie in a nearby wreck, passed out beside an empty bottle of liquor. After a call to Victor, Xander located Sarah and delivered her baby girl.
