Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers for Thursday, November 13, reveal that some gala night surprises are on the way. Will Horton (Chandler Massey) will also comfort Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall)

while EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) has an unexpected encounter. Although Sami Brady (Alison Sweeney) plans to make a quick appearance at the soiree, she’ll be leaving Salem again soon.

However, Sami will still end up having one more encounter with EJ before she heads out. That could bring Sami’s admission that she tried to give Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman)

a nudge toward at least tolerating EJ. Sami knows Johnny will regret it if he cuts his father out of his life completely, so she’s rooting for him to patch things up with EJ somewhat.

Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) might see Sami again as well, so that could trigger another memory flash.

DOOL fans now know Cat was apparently at the same clinic in Italy where Sami stayed by comatose EJ’s bedside.

EJ was covered in bandages at the time, so Cat didn’t realize who he was when she read Wuthering Heights to him.

Now things are starting to click into place, so Cat might explain the connection to EJ and maybe even Sami on Thursday’s show.

Next, Cat and Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) will inadvertently work against each other.

Although Leo and Cat would both like to learn more about EJ’s shady hospital wing, there’ll be some confusion and conflicting plans that get in the way.

As for Gwen von Leuschner (Emily O’Brien), she’ll tackle a top-secret mission that keeps her busy and filled with anxiety.

Days spoilers say Gwen will hope she doesn’t get caught carrying out EJ’s orders, which could lead to a whole lot of trouble for them both.

Over with Will, he’ll bring Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) her tea and offer some comfort since his grandma clearly doesn’t seem like herself.

Marlena may acknowledge that she’s missing John Black (Drake Hogestyn), who would’ve loved the baby shower if he were still alive to see it.

Nevertheless, Will may insist John was there in spirit and work to console Marlena as best as he can.

Days spoilers say Will and Marlena have a sweet grandma-grandson bonding moment ahead.

Unfortunately, Marlena’s “Queen of the Night” dreams could eventually come back in full force and leave her more rattled than ever.

Across town, Gwen will feel anxious as she carries out a top-secret mission, but EJ will be counting on her to do her part as the gala begins.

Days spoilers say the Dr. Tom Horton (Macdonald Carey) Free Clinic is set to open soon, so there’ll be a big celebration with more guests and speeches.

Of course, there’ll be some lab experiment drama going on too thanks to EJ and all his plotting.

Days of Our Lives spoilers say this night will turn into a very memorable one, so stay tuned for all the exciting news and disturbing scenes to come.
