Days of our Lives: Xander-Sarah Therapy Drama – Xarah Reunion?

Days of Our Lives gives fans what they want as Xander Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) and Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) are finally on the road to reconciliation. Xander is currently attending anger management therapy. But as Sarah considers whether couples therapy could mend their relationship, the question remains. Will Xander agree? Or is his anger still too intense for him to commit to more counseling?

Days of Our Lives: Xander & Sarah’s Road to Reconciliation

After months of separation, things are moving towards reconciliation at a faster pace. Following their daughter Victoria’s second birthday party, Xander accepted Sarah’s apology for pushing Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) to confess about his assault.

Both Xander and Philip have maintained that Xander did not attack Philip, a lie that seems to be gaining traction. However, Xander may be concerned that agreeing to marriage counseling with Sarah, facilitated by Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall), could expose the truth about Phillip’s assault and his repeated lies to Sarah.

This moment, long-awaited by “Xarah” fans, signifies a potential reconciliation, though speed bumps lie ahead. Xander was furious when Sarah lied about Philip’s forged letter concerning Victor Kiriakis‘ (John Aniston) estate. While Sarah had her reasons, Xander perceived it as a betrayal. The situation escalated when Sarah became convinced that Xander had severely beaten his brother, Philip.

Brothers Bonded by Lies and Deception on DOOL

We all know Philip is covering for Xander. And this protection extends both ways between the Kiriakis brothers, who have now linked themselves through lies about the forgery and the assault. Despite Xander and Philip lying directly to her, Sarah apologized for wrongly accusing Xander. Viewers know that Xander and Philip are lying and gaslighting Sarah, as Xander is indeed guilty of attacking Philip.

Now, in a position where she must accept Xander’s supposed innocence, Sarah has been observed warming up to her estranged husband. She’s been impressed by the progress Xander has made in his anger management therapy with Marlena and senses a change in him.

Despite the immense stress from the DiMera lawsuit hanging over Titan, Xander is utilizing the breathing techniques Marlena taught him, actively managing his anger and resisting the urge to rage, demonstrating significant growth. Sarah had initially insisted on anger management for Xander, concerned his temper could negatively impact Victoria’s life on Days of our Lives.

Not due to direct danger, but as a poor example of emotional volatility. Marlena’s therapy appears effective for Xander. The crucial question now is how Xander will react when Sarah proposes couples counseling with Marlena. Will he be open to it, potentially reuniting their family? Or could it exacerbate their issues?

Days of Our Lives: Sarah & Xander Not Giving Up

Both Xander and Sarah continue to wear their wedding rings. And Sarah was hesitant when Marlena inquired about Xander joining couples therapy. Their rings suggest lingering love and a potential path forward. Sarah is eager for couples therapy. But Xander’s agreement is essential. This could be beneficial for both, as they both felt betrayed by the other.

The primary obstacle remains Xander’s continued deception about assaulting Philip, a lie his brother is also perpetuating. However, a reliable source indicates that Philip will play a crucial role in reuniting Xander and Sarah. Their shared lie about the assault has, ironically, helped Xander receive an apology from Sarah for her false accusation.

Days of Our Lives: Sarah Awaits an Answer

This could, however, become a significant hindrance if the truth ever surfaces, though it’s possible Xander and Philip might take this secret to their graves. Our source recently confirmed that Xander is considering couples therapy and will provide Sarah with an answer by the end of the week.

The answer could be a simple “yes,” or he might agree with the condition that the Philip assault incident is not discussed in therapy. If Xander refuses couples counseling, it’s likely due to the lie he’s hiding. Sarah would be deeply hurt and angry, realizing she was right all along, if she discovers Xander lied about beating Philip.

Days of Our Lives: Will Xander Come Clean?

For a true fresh start, Xander needs to be open and honest with Sarah, as dishonesty and betrayal were the root causes of their separation. The central question remains: will Xander admit to brutally attacking his brother Philip? Kate Roberts (Lauren Koslow) would undoubtedly welcome further legal repercussions for Xander.

However, after his arrest, charges were dropped when Philip claimed a random stranger assaulted him, a story that initially angered Kate and Sarah. Until recently, Sarah believed Xander was guilty. But she has since been convinced otherwise. It’s doubtful anyone will sway Kate’s opinion. If they proceed with couples counseling, will Xander confess, or will the assault be the reason he avoids therapy for now?

Regardless, Philip is unlikely to press charges, despite what Kate and Sarah might say. For Sarah, the issue isn’t Xander’s potential arrest. But whether he committed the act and if he has been lying to her face after feeling betrayed by her own deception.

It’s a complex situation. But our source assures us Philip will actively assist in mending their marriage, with “Xarah” expected to reunite by the holidays. We’ll have to wait and see if counseling, Philip’s influence, or a combination of both will be the key to their reconciliation.
