DOOL Spoilers: Chad Makes a Devil’s Bargain with Cat to Take Down Clyde – But JJ Sounds the Alarm!

Oh, Salemites, grab your popcorn because next week is going to be a wild ride! Chad DiMera is about to make a deal that could either be brilliant… or blow up in his face spectacularly. And honestly? We’re kind of worried about where this is heading!

DESPERATE TIMES, DESPERATE MEASURES

Let’s dive into the drama, shall we? Chad’s desperation to find Abigail’s body has pushed him to make what might be the riskiest move we’ve seen from him yet. He’s convinced EJ to release Cat from Salem PD’s custody – yes, you read that right! While leaving Mark to cool his heels behind bars, Chad’s got some sort of scheme cooking that involves Cat of all people. Anyone else getting major red flags here? 🚩

JJ RETURNS WITH PERFECT TIMING

But wait, it gets better (or worse, depending on how you look at it). JJ Deveraux has picked the perfect time to return to Salem, and he’s not exactly thrilled about Chad’s latest “brilliant” plan. I mean, can you blame him? The timing of his return couldn’t be more dramatic, especially with everything the Horton family is dealing with right now.

HEARTBREAKING HORTON FAMILY MOMENTS

Speaking of the Hortons, grab your tissues, because Julie’s about to have an emotional heart-to-heart with JJ about Doug’s health. With the family still reeling from the arson at the Horton house, this conversation is bound to hit hard. At least JJ’s there to support Julie through this difficult time – heaven knows she’s been everyone else’s rock lately!

WORKPLACE DRAMA HITS HOME

Meanwhile, in other Salem shenanigans, Paulina’s got some surprising news that might throw a wrench into Rafe and Jada’s workplace harmony. Our newly engaged lovebirds might want to brace themselves – because when has mixing business with pleasure ever gone smoothly in Salem? (Spoiler alert: never!)

AVA PLAYS WITH FIRE

And speaking of mixing things that shouldn’t be mixed… is anyone else worried about Ava poking the bear that is Kristen DiMera? Ava’s curiosity about Brady and Kristen’s future could land her in some seriously hot water. Let’s be real – we all know how Kristen handles potential threats to her happiness, and it’s never pretty!

JEALOUSY TAKES CENTER STAGE

Oh, and don’t even get me started on Johnny’s jealousy issues! The poor guy’s about to watch his wife film a love scene with Alex for Body & Soul, and he’s not handling it well at all. Despite Chanel’s reassurances about her past with Alex, Johnny’s green-eyed monster is threatening to rear its ugly head. Someone needs to tell this DiMera heir that jealousy is not a good look!

THE BURNING QUESTION

But let’s circle back to Chad’s scheme because that’s what we’re all really worried about, right? The big question on everyone’s mind: is he actually trusting Cat, or is this all part of some bigger plan to get to Clyde? Either way, with JJ back in town and asking all the right questions, things are bound to get interesting.

What do you think, DAYS fans? Is Chad making a massive mistake by bringing Cat into his plans? Could JJ be the voice of reason Chad needs right now? And just how messy do you think things are going to get before it’s all over? Drop your theories in the comments – because something tells me we’re all going to want to compare notes after next week’s episodes!

Remember to tune in next week to Days of Our Lives – because with all these storylines heating up, you won’t want to miss a single episode!
