DAYS HOT PLOT! Dimitri Von Leuschner Is Trapped in Alamainia While EJ DiMera Just Told Gwen That Vivian Will No Longer Be a Problem

ALMAINIAN AUTHORITIES THINK DIMITRI VON LEUSCHNER HARMED VIVIAN BUT HE’S INNOCENT AGAIN

TL;DR: The ISA separated Leo and Dimitri von Leuschner this week on Days of Our Lives after Leo suffered a head injury and Andrew Donovan flew him back to Salem for treatment. Dimitri has to stay in Alamainia because he is the chief suspect in Vivian’s disappearance. Meanwhile, EJ told Gwen they will not have to worry about Vivian anymore. He’d taken care of it. Meanwhile, someone placed flowers on a grave with her name on it. Dimitri is being framed again and the man doing it is back in Salem sipping scotch.

Leo Is Gone and Dimitri Is Alone

Dimitri von Leuschner saved Leo Stark‘s life this week by throwing himself on top of Leo when a sniper opened fire through a window in Alamainia. But Leo hit the floor hard. When he came to, he was speaking even more nonsensically than usual, one of his pupils dilated to a different size than the other, and things took a dangerous turn.

Andrew Donovan made the call. He would take Leo back to Salem for medical care. But Dimitri could not go with them. Andrew is the son of ISA Director Shane Donovan and he is not in Alamainia to do favors. Vivian Alamain and her manservant Ivan Marais are missing and Dimitri von Leuschner is the chief suspect. Almainian authorities are not letting him leave and ISA is respecting their wishes.

So the man who saved Leo from a bullet, who found a shipping label proving he was framed, and who now has a German cook anonymously confirming he was indeed held captive, is stuck in Alamainia all alone. No Leo. No lawyer. No way home.

EJ Said What He Said

Here’s the part that makes things even more sinister. While Dimitri von Leuschner is trapped overseas being accused of making Vivian disappear, EJ DiMera sat in Salem and told Gwen Rizczech that they will not have to worry about Vivian anymore. She has been taken care of.

He said it like a man checking an item off a list. No hesitation. No guilt. Just confirmation that the woman who could connect him to the DiMera kidnapping frame job has been handled. And Days of Our Lives ended the episode Thursday with someone placing flowers on a grave. The name on the tombstone? Vivian Alamain.

Is she actually dead? This is a woman who has faked her own death, been buried alive, and walked out of situations that should have ended her a dozen times over. But EJ clearly believes will no longer be a problem. Time will tell.

Cat Greene Is Investigating the Man Who Did This

This is where the ISA should be connecting dots instead of pinning charges on the wrong person. Shane sent Cat Greene to Salem to investigate EJ’s criminal enterprise. Cat has been gathering intel on his hospital purchase, his secret lab, and whoever is funding his operations. But she’s sailing down a slippery slope. Last we saw her, she’d just kissed EJ. And she’s supposed to be impartial.

Andrew is Shane’s son. If he is in Alamainia on ISA business, he may already know about Cat’s operation. A man sitting in Salem confessing to Gwen that he had Vivian “taken care of” should be a much bigger concern than the fugitive who has been screaming his innocence for weeks.

Everybody Is Bleeding and Nobody Is Connected

Salem had a brutal week. Klaus confronted Liam in the park and a shootout erupted. Shawn took a bullet. Liam was grazed. Klaus went down. Then Liam ran straight into Ari, who wanted to call the police. He said no. She took him in anyway and is apparently playing nursemaid to the man she’s suddenly decided is her best match. In other words, she’s harboring the man who caused a police shootout to occur. Philip Kiriakis confessed to Gabi Hernandez that Titan’s mess is his fault because Vivian presented forged documents giving him half the company. Gabi said nothing about the listening device she planted that helped Tony use that information to dismantle everything.

All of it connects back to Vivian. And Vivian is either dead or pretending to be. The man who knows the truth is pouring himself a drink in Salem while Dimitri stands alone in Alamainia wondering how he went from almost free to completely trapped.

Where is Vivian Alamain and did EJ really have her killed? And will Cat Greene’s ISA investigation finally catch up to EJ before he buries everything? Sound off below because this story just got a whole lot darker!
