Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Marlena’s Hypnosis Exposes Cat Greene’s Hidden Clinic Past With EJ

CAT GREENE REMEMBERS THE CLINIC AND EJ CANNOT BURY IT

TL;DR: Marlena hypnotizes Cat Greene on Monday, August 24, and a hidden memory from EJ’s Italian clinic finally surfaces. Whatever she recalls shocks her, and by Wednesday she is demanding answers while EJ scrambles to keep the Coriseal scandal buried.

Marlena Puts Cat Back Under on Monday, August 24

Days of Our Lives spoilers for Monday, August 24 confirm the hypnosis session viewers have waited all summer to see. Cat Greene settles in at Dr. Marlena Evans‘s office, closes her eyes, and goes back to the Italian clinic where she once read to a bandaged EJ DiMera. This time, something new breaks loose. The official weekly preview confirms a significant memory surfaces, and it leaves Cat visibly shaken.

The show has kept the contents locked in a vault. No synopsis reveals what Cat actually sees, and that silence is deliberate, no matter what the circulating spoiler chatter claims. What is confirmed: the memory ties directly to her clinic days with EJ, and her reaction says it matters.

Her first session with Marlena back on July 7 recovered only fragments. Cat remembered reading Wuthering Heights aloud to a heavily bandaged EJ, feeling him squeeze her hand, and kissing his cheek before she left. Those quiet moments came while both were clawing their way back from the same brutal chapter, which makes whatever surfaces next feel personal rather than procedural.

EJ Orders the Coriseal Mess Buried While Cat Digs

The same preview hands EJ a very different scene. He gets on the phone and orders an associate to lean on George O’Halloran, the DiMera Pharmaceuticals boss who buried a batch of arsenic tainted Coriseal pills on Smith Island. Those pills poisoned Holly Jonas. So while Cat Greene chases her own past, EJ is paying to keep his present quiet.

The pressure on that cover-up was already building before this week. A city official caught wind of the buried pills earlier this month and started squeezing EJ for his silence, a mess we broke down in our look at EJ’s blackmail problem. Every new person who learns about Coriseal is another crack in the dam.

What Does Cat Remember About the Clinic on Days of Our Lives?

Nobody outside the writers room knows yet, and that is the honest answer. The preview confirms only that the memory is significant, tied to the clinic, and jarring enough to change Cat’s posture toward EJ. Here is the connection worth making: the same promo that hands Cat Greene her breakthrough shows EJ frantically burying Coriseal. The show cut those scenes together on purpose. Her memory and his cover-up are on a collision course, and the editing says so out loud.

Cat Greene Demands the Truth on Wednesday

By Wednesday, August 26, the confrontation lands. Cat marches up to EJ and demands the truth, and the spoilers frame him as the one on the back foot. Reading between the lines, that clinic stay hides more than a hand squeeze and a paperback. Don’t be surprised if the memory reaches into territory EJ would pay dearly to keep dark.

Could the two threads braid together? If I know these writers, Cat’s recovered memory eventually brushes up against the same secrets EJ is burying through George. That is speculation, not confirmation, but the timing is too neat to ignore. Message boards are already trading guesses, and not one of them has a source.

Cat Holds the Match and EJ Is Sitting on Kindling

Our take: this is the smartest slow burn DAYS has run all year. The clinic bond gave Cat real feeling for the man she was sent to investigate, and now her own mind hands her the weapon. That is classic soap architecture, and it works because both outcomes hurt.

EJ playing the wounded man one day and strong-arming George the next is exactly the contradiction that makes him worth watching. Pick your side and defend it loudly over on our Facebook page.

Quick Answers on the Clinic Memory Storyline

When does the hypnosis episode stream? The session streams Monday, August 24, 2026 on Peacock, where new episodes drop weekdays at 6 a.m. ET. Marlena guides Cat through the memory in her office, and the follow-up confrontation with EJ arrives on Wednesday, August 26. Both beats come from the official weekly preview.

What is Coriseal on Days of Our Lives? Coriseal is a DiMera Pharmaceuticals drug. A tainted batch laced with arsenic was buried on Smith Island, and exposure to it poisoned Holly. George O’Halloran handled the burial, and EJ has been working to keep the entire situation out of public view.

Is Cat still working for the ISA? Yes. She was recruited in June 2025 to investigate EJ after her earlier ISA work fell apart, and the assignment still stands. That is what makes the recovered memory so messy. Her feelings from the clinic and her job description now point in opposite directions.
