SALEM SHOWDOWN: WHO SHOT EJ DIMERA?

The latest Days of Our Lives episode brings the drama to a fever pitch as accusations fly, secrets spill, and Salem’s residents scramble to uncover who pulled the trigger on EJ DiMera!

KRISTEN AND GABI’S BLAME GAME TURNS NASTY

The war between Kristen DiMera and Gabi Hernandez has reached explosive new heights as both women desperately try to pin EJ’s shooting on each other. Talk about a twisted game of hot potato with a prison sentence as the prize!

Both women had serious motives to want EJ dead, but neither is eager to face the consequences. Kristen’s fierce determination to protect herself has her pointing fingers with laser precision at Gabi, while Gabi is equally convinced that sending Kristen to jail would solve all her problems.

The mud-slinging between these two power players has turned Salem upside down. With each woman absolutely certain the other pulled the trigger, they’re pulling out all stops to make sure they’re not the one who gets convicted.

The question remains: is either one of them telling the truth, or is the real shooter still lurking in the shadows of Salem?

BELLE’S BEDSIDE CONFESSION CHANGES EVERYTHING

In a stunning twist that has viewers’ jaws on the floor, Belle Black has opened up about her complicated feelings for EJ while he lies comatose. This wasn’t just any confession—it was a heart-wrenching admission that has Belle questioning everything.

Previously, Belle had confided in her brother Brady Black about her confusing emotions toward EJ, but now she’s grappling with the reality of seeing him fighting for his life. The conflict is tearing her apart—she wanted justice and to see EJ behind bars, not clinging to life in a hospital bed.

While Belle and Brady process this emotional bombshell, JJ Deveraux and Shawn Brady are working overtime to track down the shooter. Word on the street is that Shawn might be closing in on the culprit in upcoming episodes. Could this revelation further complicate Belle’s already tangled feelings?

TATE CONFRONTS DOUG OVER STOLEN FAMILY TREASURE

The drama doesn’t stop with EJ’s shooting! Tate Black and Holly Jonas are at odds over Doug Williams’ shocking betrayal. Tate is ready to call Doug exactly what he thinks he is—a thief who stole and pawned a precious family heirloom necklace.

Holly is standing firmly in Doug’s corner, defending him despite the evidence and insisting that Tate is being too harsh. This disagreement has created serious tension between the young couple, with Holly believing in redemption and Tate demanding accountability.

The confrontation between Tate and Doug promises to be one for the books as Tate directly challenges the older man about his actions. Doug will find himself backed into a corner, forced to face the consequences of his desperate decision.

Will Tate show mercy once he hears Doug’s side of the story, or is this theft the final straw?

SALEM’S TANGLED WEB OF SUSPECTS

The list of potential shooters continues to grow more complex by the day. While Kristen and Gabi point fingers at each other, let’s not forget the other Salem residents with EJ in their crosshairs:

Ava Vitali made no secret of her determination to make EJ pay, even going so far as to take Melinda’s gun. That’s not exactly subtle, is it?

Meanwhile, Johnny DiMera’s shocking discovery of a hidden gun at Roman’s place raises serious questions about his grandfather’s possible involvement. Could Roman Brady have taken matters into his own hands?

Let’s not forget about Rafe Hernandez, who was left devastated after learning that Jada Hunter slept with Shawn. With his personal and professional life in shambles thanks in part to EJ’s machinations, could Rafe have snapped?

And what about Marlena Evans, who recently faced down Orpheus when he tried to shoot her? After decades of trauma, could Salem’s favorite psychiatrist have finally decided to eliminate a threat permanently?

The shooter could be any of these characters—or someone no one suspects at all. One thing’s certain: when the truth comes out, it will rock Salem to its core.

WHAT’S NEXT IN SALEM?

As EJ fights for his life and Salem residents scramble to uncover the truth, the coming days promise even more dramatic twists and turns. Will Belle’s confession complicate her professional goals? Can JJ and Shawn crack the case before another tragedy strikes? And what will happen when Tate finally confronts Doug about the stolen necklace?

Stay tuned to Days of Our Lives on Peacock to see these explosive storylines unfold. With accusations flying, hearts breaking, and secrets spilling, Salem hasn’t seen drama like this in years!
