Ava’s deadly determination
Ava sat in her pub room on Days of Our Lives, furious as she read another article about EJ’s crimes. Determined to stop him, she pulled Melinda’s gun from her bag and aimed it at EJ’s smug face on her screen, whispering that justice had other ways. Later, Roman watched her rush out of the pub, sensing trouble. With EJ’s enemies growing, a showdown seemed inevitable.
Johnny discovers Roman’s secret
Trying to escape his heartbreak, Johnny visited Roman. During their talk, Roman accidentally revealed he had a gun hidden behind the bar. Johnny, already furious with EJ, was shocked but intrigued.
When Roman stepped away to take a call, Johnny couldn’t resist. He sneaked behind the bar, unlocked the box, and held the weapon in his hands.
Chanel confronts EJ’s cruelty
At the DiMera mansion on Days of Our Lives, EJ drank alone after his clash with Belle. Chanel arrived, furious that he ruined her and Johnny’s adoption. She accused him of never changing, but EJ, cold and distant, said Johnny had cut him off, and maybe it was for the best.
Shocked that Johnny saw EJ as “dead” to him, Chanel left, agreeing to pass along his love.
Belle and Brady face hard truths
Belle returned home, shaken by her failed attempt to trap EJ. Brady noticed her wire and pressed for answers. She admitted EJ had manipulated her, making her doubt she’d ever escape his influence.
Brady, recalling his own toxic past with Kristen, assured her she could break free. However, Belle wasn’t so sure, as EJ’s grip on her still felt too strong.
Rafe and Jada’s relationship crumbles
Rafe struggled with Jada’s confession about her past. Despite her pleas, he said they needed space, leaving her heartbroken.
At Gabi’s house, he told her about Jada’s betrayal. Gabi wasn’t angry at Jada as she blamed EJ. In a fit of rage, she even said she could kill him. Rafe warned her to be careful, but revenge was already on her mind.
Jada finds a confidante in Paulina
Jada sought advice from Paulina, who quickly noticed her distress. As Jada opened up, Paulina insisted EJ was the real problem.
