Gunshot Chaos Hits the DiMera Mansion

The DiMera living room becomes the center of a terrifying event. EJ DiMera confronts an unexpected intruder and demands answers. But instead of words, he gets a bullet. Caught completely off guard, EJ takes a hit and crashes to the floor. The identity of the shooter remains a mystery for now. All we know is someone wanted EJ gone—and acted fast.

Chad DiMera stumbles upon his brother in a bloody and unconscious state. Panic floods in as he scrambles to call 911 and do whatever he can to stop the bleeding. The situation is dire, and there’s no time to waste.

Soon, the paramedics arrive and rush EJ to the hospital. Chad stays behind, visibly shaken and desperate for answers. His mind races with fear, confusion, and concern.

At the hospital, Cat Greene steps in to support Chad. She knows how much EJ means to him, and she’s determined to help however she can. As Chad sits nervously waiting for word from the doctors, Cat becomes his emotional anchor. Although the circumstances are tragic, the moment allows Chad and Cat to grow closer. He leans on her, and she doesn’t hesitate to be there for him.

Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Chanel Worries – Did Johnny Do It?

Elsewhere, Chanel Dupree DiMera begins to worry. She hasn’t heard from Johnny and can’t shake the feeling that something’s wrong. When the news of EJ’s shooting spreads, her anxiety grows. Chanel starts to wonder if Johnny could be involved. The thought of him shooting his own father terrifies her. Could he have reached a breaking point?

Kate Roberts Brady raises suspicions when she’s spotted with a gun. Her conversation with Roman Brady only adds to the mystery. Kate makes a vague but unsettling comment suggesting EJ might not be a problem anymore.

Roman checks the pub’s gun lockbox and finds it’s been disturbed. Earlier, Johnny had taken the gun out. Did he use it and then return it? The clues are stacking up—and none of them look good for Johnny.

Ava Tosses a Gun and Runs From Salem

Meanwhile, Ava Vitali makes a sudden and suspicious exit. She tosses Melinda Trask’s weapon into a garbage can and disappears from Salem. Her timing couldn’t be worse—or more telling.

This marks Ava’s final appearance, at least for now. Her actions paint her as guilty, but the truth may be more complicated. Was she running from a crime she committed—or one she witnessed?

It’s possible Ava went to the DiMera mansion with the intention of killing EJ herself. But if she arrived too late and found him already shot, she may have panicked. Fearing she’d be blamed, Ava could’ve fled before Chad walked in.

Now, with her vanishing act, Ava instantly becomes a top suspect. But did she do it—or is she just running from suspicion?

The stage is set for a thrilling whodunit. Multiple suspects. Shifting alibis. Hidden motives. Everyone—from Kate to Johnny to Ava—has something to hide. Salem is about to explode with secrets and accusations.
