She is actively working to get released from Bayview and resume normal life in Salem in time for Ben and Ciara’s wedding, but Claire may unknowingly also be the key to helping rescue a kidnapped Gabi on the Friday, June 5 episode of “Days of Our Lives.”

Claire (Olivia Rose Keegan) made an appeal to Marlena (Deidre Hall) to get her released from Bayview on the NBC soap, swearing she had changed and regretted her actions when she was setting fires and nearly killed Ciara (Victoria Konefal). After Marlena agreed to see what she could do, Claire seemed to express interest in getting back to Salem in time for Ciara and Ben’s (Robert Scott Wilson) wedding, though it is unclear if she has a secret motive or really wants to show support for the couple after putting them through so much torment. Now, she may reveal what she is really after as she shows the Save the Date to her new friend she has made at Bayview—Gwen (Emily O’Brien).

“Claire confides in her new friend and fellow patient, Gwen,” spoilers reveal.

However, as Claire potentially opens up about her reasons for wanting to get back to Salem and her history with Ciara and Ben, she won’t realize that she’s actually talking to the one person who could help deescalate a tense situation back in Salem too, as Gwen is the same ex who has whatever the goons going after Jake (Brandon Barash) want.

After not getting what they sought from Jake, the goons then turned their attention to Gabi (Camila Banus), as she sought anything she could find to do a DNA test which would prove once and for all that Jake was really Stefan. She told the men she was his wife, which made her valuable to the goons as collateral for what Gwen has, She is now their hostage and Jake has to either find Gwen and what the men want or find out some way to get Gabi back unharmed. Since Ben agreed to help him try and track down Gwen, Jake will enlist his and Ciara’s help.

“Jake reveals to Ben and Ciara that Gabi has been kidnapped,” spoilers reveal.

As they seek Gwen, Claire could be the person who holds all the power, even if she doesn’t know it.

“Days of Our Lives” airs weekdays on NBC.
