Days of Our Lives Recap: EJ’s Dark Plan Takes Shape
At the DiMera mansion, EJ ordered Gwen to “make nice” with Leo. Gwen resisted at first but quickly realized EJ was right — Leo’s snooping threatened her investment. Though reluctant, Gwen agreed to play along, pretending to forgive Leo while secretly plotting with EJ. She feared what might happen if he went too far.
EJ’s manipulation grew more dangerous as he tightened his control over those around him. Gwen’s nerves showed when she questioned just how far EJ would go. She didn’t sign up for dead bodies — but in Salem, that’s never off the table.
Leo’s Desperation Meets Gwen’s Deception
At The Spectator office, Leo sought Chad’s help, terrified after being caught snooping by Rita. Chad found it amusing but promised to talk to his brother to keep Leo safe. Their conversation briefly turned personal as they reflected on their families, showing rare vulnerability beneath their usual sarcasm.
Just as Leo calmed down, Gwen arrived, all smiles and fake warmth. Her over-the-top act nearly gave her away as she pretended Matty’s heroics had changed her opinion of Leo. She even took a dig at Jennifer before walking out dramatically. Leo wasn’t fooled, but Chad urged him to at least listen — warning that in Salem, snakes sometimes save lives.

Philip walked in just as tempers peaked. He stunned Maggie by siding with Xander, arguing the family could only survive together.
