On today's Days of Our Lives recap: Brady Pub: Gabi arrives with Little T, looking for young Douglas. She tells him she's glad he's leaving town but not before she has her say. Doug apologizes as he never intended for Arianna Grace to get hurt. Gabi gets it but says Doug made many mistakes which led up to the kidnapping. He knows how much he messed up and wants to apologize to Roman but he hasn't been around. Doug asks Gabi if she'll give him the note he wrote. When he pulls it out, Julie's necklace comes out, as well. Salem Inn – Gwen's Room: Gwen is upset the necklace is gone when Julie arrives and serves her with a lawsuit for the necklace.

University Hospital – Exam Room: Sarah notes Marlena's slightly high blood pressure and says she wants to run more tests. University Hospital – Lobby: Brady and Rachel arrive and greet Belle. She says Marlena is good, but they aren't so sure. Brady explains to Rachel it's like her stomach aches. She feels bad and then feels better. Rachel and Brady exit to buy Tate's baby a gift. Just then, Marlena and Sarah emerge from the exam room. Belle asks how her mother is doing. Marlena says she's doing much better, and Sarah ran more tests. She admonishes Marlena not to miss anymore meals. With that, Belle and Marlena exit. Rachel and Brady return and Sarah says Marlena and Belle just left. Rachel pulls out the gift they bought for Tate's baby and Brady explains about the quick birth and adoption. Brady says it's a shame because Tate didn't get to meet her. Sarah is surprised to hear the baby is a girl as she remembers the ultrasound where she and Sophia found out it was a boy. Rachel asks about a name and Brady says he doesn't know. She says she likes the name Mackenzie and asks if Sarah likes it too (yikes). Brady sends Rachel to the vending machine so Sarah can cry. Brady thinks Rachel remembers her Uncle Eric had a baby named Mackenzie. Sarah wonders if she remembers being in her custody. She also thinks she's upset as she and Xander have decided to separate. Johnny and Chanel's Place: Susan arrives to see Johnny and says she had to be there to support him during his trial. Johnny is surprised to learn Chanel has been in touch with his grandmother.

She remembers the last time they met up how she sensed Gabi was at the mansion the night of the shooting. Since then, Susan heard Gabi actually admitted to what she saw in a vision. Gwen thinks Susan has her number. Gabi admits to lying but says she is innocent. Susan vows to find out who put a bullet in her son and storms off. Gwen giggles as it's ironic Gabi accused her of murder. Horton House: A flustered Julie arrives home when young Douglas arrives to tell her that he is leaving Salem. Julie is stand offish until Doug says he has a gift for her and hands her the necklace. Julie asks where he got it and Doug admits he took it from Gwen's room because it doesn't belong to her. Julie explains about her latest encounter with Gwen and now understands she was telling the truth. Doug asks if Julie is going to turn him in but she thinks it isn't necessary. Julie begins to crack when young Douglas says how sorry he is for everything. He says how much kindness and love she showed him which he hadn't felt in a very long time. Doug hates he broke Julie's heart and trust and then tries to leave. Julie holds him up and asks if she will help her put on her grandmother's necklace. Doug takes the necklace and clasps it around Julie's neck. He says it looks lovely on her and Julie says it makes her feel closer to her mother and grandmother. Doug says he gets it as one of his most prized possessions is a pair of cufflinks from his grandpa Robert. Just then, Julie tells Doug to stay put and runs in the other room. Julie finds Doug's pocket watch and kisses it. When she returns, she hands it to young Douglas and says it belonged to his other grandfather. Doug thanks Julie for her kindness.

Doug is so very grateful and Julie says she knows it's what Doug would have wanted. Marlena and John's Penthouse: Belle asks Marlena about EJ's hypnosis session. She hesitates because of doctor/patient confidentiality but Belle says he already told her about it. She wonders if trauma is actually what's keeping him from remembering the shooting. Marlena isn't certain. Belle apologizes as she doesn't want to stress her mother out. She asks about the grief they are both experiencing about John and wonders if they talk about it enough with everything going on. Belle wants her mother to know she never forgets it but doesn't bring it up as she wants to respect her as a psychiatrist. Marlena says not talking about the situation is right for her in this moment. Susan arrives and tells Belle she there for Johnny but also to offer her condolences about John. Marlena walks back in and Susan tells her how amazing John Black was. She goes on and on about their history together and Marlena says he was very fond of her. She embraces Dr Marlena Evans as Belle controls her giggles. Susan pulls back and says she got a very weird vibe from her. Marlena inquires and Susan tries to explain but Belle quickly gets her out.

Doug promises he will make life changes, so he doesn't continue making the same mistakes. He grabs his bag, and they promise to keep in touch.

Gwen wonders why Gabi shot EJ but she says she didn't. Gabi admits she hated EJ and tells her many reasons why. Gabi asks if Gwen ran into Stefan in Alamania but she did not. She says Tony and Anna tried to reach out with no response (Both Dimitri and Stefan MIA…). Gwen and Gabi tell each other to go to hell before parting ways. Johnny and Chanel get a little frisky when they realize they've got a little time on their hands. Sarah admits she should have separated from Xander when he tried to hurt Brady. She promises to stop talking about Xander, but he says she can vent to him whenever she wants. Sarah says she has so much time on her hands as Victoria is with Xander.

After 10 Years, a Beloved Bernal Heights Chef Will Open a Second Restaurant
is the associate editor for the Northern California and Pacific Northwest region writing about restaurant and bar trends, coffee and cafes, and pop-ups. One of the city's most time-tested fine dining chefs is about to open his second restaurant. Precita Social debuts, fittingly, on the corner of Precita Park this August. Chef Greg Lutes, owner and operator at Bernal Heights's 3rd Cousin, will helm the new restaurant. The hope here is to open a more casual, yet still refined, dining experience to the neighborhood he's called home for a decade. The restaurant's in the final heat of a Kickstarter as the last touches get put on the place. Significantly, this restaurant takes over the former Marlena space, briefly Foliage from chef Mo Bejar. Lutes says he's aware of the controversy that surrounded the breakup of landlord and restaurant owner Stephan Roulland and chefs David Fisher and Serena Chow Fisher. He says it was a complicated scenario, and he's headed into this venture clear-eyed. '3rd Cousin is 10 years old now,' Lutes says. 'I'd thought about doing a second restaurant for many years. Unlike Marlena, the restaurant here is not tasting menu-driven. The food options will be much more playful while retaining that fine dining backbone. Uni hand rolls dished as tacos, big burgers he served at 3rd Cousin throughout the worst of the pandemic, and the dish of the year, disco fries, will all make appearances. Precita Social will play host to a huge raw bar, too, one black marble counter starring oysters and clams. Larger mains run more traditional: Think steaks, seafood, and powerful vegetables. For dessert, guests can anticipate a Dubai chocolate-inspired soft-serve sundae complete with pistachio, seasonal fruit, and kataifi. A seasonal panna cotta at Third Cousin. Paolo Bicchieri Oceano Ordóñez, the beverage director from 3rd Cousin, will also handle drinks at Precita Social. He's curated an Old World-centered wine list along with beers from local breweries, including neighbor Barebottle Brewing Company; mocktails and shrubs are on deck, too. Herbs and greens come from the restaurant's personal rooftop garden, powered in part by solar panels. The ambiance remains neighborhood-y, with Sky Creative Lab taking on the redesign of the Marlena space. There'll be an additional outdoor parklet added to the mix. Beyond a refinished floor and design elements, Lutes says it's been a bit turnkey. Foliage closed in August 2024. Lutes reached out to Roulland in April 2025. He had eyed a Presidio location, but this proximity is a million times easier. Looking ahead, Lutes says that he hopes Precita Social fills the neighborhood's many dining needs. While 3rd Cousin is upscale, a special occasions spot, he sees this new restaurant as a chance to stretch his wings a bit. People have requested that pandemic burger plenty of times, for instance, but it doesn't gel with the approach at 3rd Cousin. 'This is a blank palette for me to do things I can't do at 3rd Cousin,' Lutes says. 'People know me in Bernal Heights. I see this as my ode to comfort food.' Precita Social (300 Precita Avenue) will open in August 2025 with dinner service Wednesday through Sunday from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Reservations will go live on Resy on Friday, July 18.
