Hope will face her greatest fear in "Days of Our Lives."

Reports about an upcoming episode suggest that Hope does not know how to feel and what to expect now that her sentencing is already coming up. She is especially concerned because she knows that Judge Fitzpatrick is usually on the DiMera payroll.

Although the judge's close connection with DiMera discourages Hope, Justin remains hopeful that Fitzpatrick will go out of her way to be impartial. After all, he believes that once her bias is revealed, her job might get laid on the line. Justin is ready to make an appeal to the judge in case she tries to pull anything.

Spoilers for the upcoming episode suggest that Hope will be on pins and needles as she prepares for court. While her family and friends are there to support her, and give her their words of encouragement, they are also secretly worried about how things will turn out for Hope. And while Justin tries his best to be positive about the outcome of the trial, he will start to have doubts.

Spoilers indicate that as Adrienne realizes that Justine is upset about the case, she will give him a shoulder to cry on and tell him that he has already done so much more for Hope than anyone else has ever done.

In addition, other spoilers reveal that Eduardo's move will shock Kate. It may be recalled that Eduardo previously expressed some interest in her. In the upcoming episode, he will ask Kate to join him on a date, and while this will catch her off guard, she will consider going out with him.

"Days of Our Lives" airs weekdays on NBC.
