Days of Our Lives spoilers for the week of 8-05-24 promise Jack and Chad will make a shocking discovery in Poplar Bluff. Their search for Abigail still seems silly, or at least, based on the flimsiest of evidence. All they have is a video showing a random woman from the back who has a similar hairstyle to Abigail. Still, they have to start somewhere, and even if the woman isn’t Abigail, they might end up rescuing a kidnap victim.
