Tony to Rafe’s hunt for EJ’s secrets, Salem’s residents navigate lies, suspicion, and personal entanglements. Meanwhile, a shocking return sets up more drama.

 

 

Gabi entered the DiMera mansion with Tony already suspicious about the planted bug. He confronted her with accusations but assured her he wouldn’t cut her out of their arrangement. Gabi wanted reassurances, but Tony’s ominous tone suggested trouble ahead.

He promised her involvement would stay hidden, but Gabi remained wary. Once she left, Tony received a call from Rita about a mystery person’s arrival. That phone call hinted at a brewing storm and signaled the start of a new complication in their secretive dealings.

 

 

Their attention soon shifted to security issues. Despite no additional bugs being discovered, they rushed plans for the co-CEO arrangement. Both feared fallout from the spying incident and wanted to secure their positions before more secrets were exposed.

Cat reminded Rafe not to let personal bias cloud his judgment. Still, he laid out EJ’s past crimes and insisted he couldn’t be trusted. Despite EJ’s charm, Rafe remained cautious, convinced a hidden agenda existed within those blueprints.

Chad visited EJ and pressed him about the hospital project. EJ downplayed concerns, claiming it was a goodwill effort for the community. He insisted the DiMera reputation was at stake, not money. Chad reluctantly softened but kept his suspicions alive.

The brothers also touched on Cat, with EJ teasing Chad about his feelings. Chad finally admitted their budding romance, asking EJ to tread lightly. Though EJ joked, it was clear the confession could shift family dynamics and draw Cat deeper into DiMera schemes.

Stephanie learned she had become a bestselling author, thrilling her with career success. Alex quickly celebrated and announced plans to highlight her work at a press event. Their happiness sparked romantic energy, but the moment was cut short when business intruded.
