Cat Discovers Trouble in the DiMera Tunnels
Cat acted fast after knocking EJ out and rushed through the mansion. She searched the living room first but realized everyone used that space daily. That made it the worst place to hide anything important or dangerous. She moved toward the tunnels with growing concern.
Her instincts paid off when she reached the wine room. Cat found a cot that should never have been missed by anyone living there. The discovery unsettled her, but she documented everything carefully. She returned upstairs, woke EJ, and watched him recover quickly. EJ insisted he only fell asleep, then claimed someone was targeting his entire family again.
Days of Our Lives Recap: Abe and Paulina Face Theo’s Sudden Disappearance
Abe and Paulina struggled with baby Trey, so Abe called Theo for help. Their relief vanished when Theo suddenly dropped off the call. Abe assumed Theo got frustrated with the noise and hung up. That assumption sent Abe back to the chaos inside their home.
Jada soon met Gabi at the Pub and shared an easy moment before Philip joined them. Jada wondered where Theo had gone, but the mood shifted when JJ called to report Chad missing. Jada raced outside and found Theo’s phone on the ground. She delivered the news to Abe, who ran straight to the station for answers.
The Investigation Opens Several Alarming Possibilities
At the station, Jada explained they had no solid leads yet. She coordinated with Rafe and federal agents to track the kidnappings. Abe begged to help the search, and Jada considered every angle. One theory suggested someone Theo trusted had grabbed him. That possibility made Abe revisit his old fear about EJ’s influence.
Inside the Pub, Gabi and Philip struggled to process everything. They worried about Theo, Chad, and Tony ending up in dangerous hands again. Their fear pushed them to abandon their planned evening, realizing the mystery was spreading too fast.
Days of Our Lives Recap: Chad, Kristen, and Tony Receive a Terrifying Delivery
Chad tried to maintain calm inside the captors’ hideout. He urged his siblings to prepare for another confrontation. Kristen pushed back, too irritated to cooperate fully. Their argument stopped cold when a door opened. A silenced gunshot followed, and Theo’s unconscious body hit the floor.
Theo recovered quickly and shared what he remembered. He realized their captor had been watching and waiting to strike at perfect moments. Chad agreed with his theory. Theo then pointed out that the abducted group shared ties to power. All were Stefano’s heirs or held strong control at DiMera.
Theories Point Back to EJ… or Someone Using His Name
Theo connected the final dots. The only DiMera heir still free was EJ. Kristen and Tony looked at each other with fear, but Chad rejected the idea. He defended EJ strongly, insisting EJ would never arrange anything like this. But Kristen pushed the issue. She insisted EJ always had capable enemies who might mimic him.
Theo hesitated when Kristen questioned EJ’s limits. He trusted EJ deeply. Still, the thought lingered. Could EJ truly commit the unthinkable if pushed hard enough?
Days of Our Lives Recap: Abe’s Message Shakes EJ as Cat Leans In
Cat confronted EJ again and asked if he feared being the next target. EJ shrugged it off and acted strangely calm. He claimed he had survived worse threats before. The conversation shifted when Abe texted EJ about Theo’s disappearance. Panic filled EJ’s face as he told Cat everything.
Cat used the moment to encourage EJ to protect himself. She convinced him she cared about his safety. The moment turned intimate as EJ leaned in for a kiss, unaware that the situation around him was spiraling faster than he realized.
