'Days of Our Lives' (DOOL) Spoilers: Jennifer Makes A Shocking Decision To File For Custody of Thomas [VIDEO]
Since Abigail's disappearance there's been a lot of distrust and concern about how her husband is handling an investigation into her whereabouts, and now, Jennifer (Melissa Reeves) will decide to make a move which will stun Chad (Billy Flynn) on Days of Our Lives.
Jennifer and JJ (Casey Moss) both have previously believed Chad knew where Abigail was and was actually hiding her so she wouldn't have to be at the hospital anymore, though a warrant to search DiMera mansion proved that theory to be false. However, they still feel that he is hiding something from them and can't be thoroughly trusted, and combined with his mother being MIA, they will begin to worry that it isn't a suitable environment for Thomas, and with some deep consideration, Jennifer will decide to file for custody of her grandson.
The move will be a surprising and shocking one to Chad, who thought his in-laws had grown to trust and like him over time, and he will be furious because they are trying to now take his son away from him too, meaning he will be on his own, with his wife and son both gone. When he realizes there is no attempt to back down however, he will decide the only way to fight back may be to fight dirty.
Jennifer could have a hard time getting custody of Thomas if her recent problems were brought up against her, which could happen. After the car accident she was in on New Year's, she became addicted to her pain pills and only recently hit rock bottom and decided to start getting help and getting clean. Knowing of this history, Chad could use it against her in the upcoming battle if he's truly determined to make sure he gets to keep his son.
However, if Jen and JJ stumble across the fact that Andre (Thaao Penghlis) has been helping Chad investigate, that could work against him since his brother is known for his devious schemes. And if everyone starts pointing out the reasons one another aren't suitable as a guardian for Thomas, the plan could backfire on them all.
Days of Our Lives airs Monday-Friday at 1 p.m. on NBC.
