They've finally all reunited in California and Joey (James Lastovic) actually wants to return home with his parents, but the Johnson family's plans to head back to Salem could face an unexpected obstacle on Days of Our Lives.

Steve (Stephen Nichols) and Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) individually rushed out to California with John (Drake Hogestyn) and Fynn (Alexander Bruszt) to track down Joey after he ran off with Jade (Paige Searcy). Steve and John quickly tracked him down to Jade's aunt's commune, but retrieving Joey became harder than expected after his role as an accomplice in the robberies committed by the kids at the commune was exposed.

Now, in his attempt to protect Jade, Joey is the only one currently facing trouble for the crime, since he refused to rat out her and Dirk, and with his confessing to be the getaway driver for the robbery, there seems to be very little his parents can do to get him back to Salem now. With charges possibly pending against their son, they can only stick around and see if they can find a way to either get him to give up everyone else who was involved, or find evidence on their own that shows everyone else's roles in the crime.

However, even if Joey does decide to turn everyone else at the commune in, it could still prevent things from going off without a hitch when it comes to returning to Salem. Dirk has been staying hidden and has been known to express violence towards Joey before, and if provoked by knowing Joey ratted him out, he could prove to be even more dangerous than anyone expected.

Meanwhile, Kayla is also dealing with the moment of weakness she had with Fynn in their motel room, and the fact that he has confessed to wanting to be with her. And though she was the one who left Steve, she is still torn by what she wants. However, after potentially realizing that she really wants Steve, Fynn will make the choice for her, and tell her they should just be friends so she can focus on putting her family back together.

Days of Our Lives airs Monday-Friday at 1 p.m. on NBC.
