Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Cat Greene Is Playing EJ DiMera, but He’s Already Playing Her Back

CAT GREENE’S COVER CRUMBLES WHILE EJ DIMERA UNLEASHES RITA LESLEY ON HER SECRETS

TL;DR: Cat Greene thought she had EJ DiMera right where she wanted him on Days of Our Lives, but spoilers confirm EJ just sent Rita Lesley to investigate her past. With Chad gone and Paulina Price making noise about secret labs, this ISA mission is spiraling fast.

She Walked Right Into His Trap

Cat Greene sat across from EJ DiMera at the Bistro on Valentine’s week like a woman holding every card in the deck. The ISA had her back. Rafe Hernandez was running point from the shadows. Shane Donovan was feeding intel from the top of the chain. All she had to do was smile, keep EJ talking, and wait for him to slip up.

Except EJ isn’t slipping. He’s sharpening.

Spoilers confirm that EJ has pointed questions for Rita Lesley about Cat, and anyone who’s been paying attention to Days of Our Lives knows exactly what that means. Rita isn’t the type to run a casual background check and call it a day. This is the same woman who tased Rafe in the DiMera tunnels and delivered stolen evidence straight to EJ’s desk without blinking. She’s not an assistant. She’s a weapon. And EJ just aimed her directly at Cat Greene‘s cover story.

The Phoenix Ring Changed the Game

Here’s what makes this so terrifying for anyone rooting for Cat’s mission. EJ didn’t just wake up paranoid one morning. He accepted Stefano DiMera‘s Phoenix Ring on February 10, and that ring came with a whole new operating system. The charming EJ who got played by Sami and blindsided by Nicole? That version is gone. This EJ watches. He calculates. He waits.

And then he sends Rita.

The timing is brutal. Paulina Price just publicly tore into EJ at the Bistro, accusing him of mismanaging the hospital and draining Salem’s power grid for whatever nightmare is happening in that secret lab beneath the Tom Horton Free Clinic. When a man like EJ feels cornered, he doesn’t panic. He starts hunting for the leak. Cat Greene is sitting right there, and her cover story is getting thinner by the day. If Rita starts digging into Cat’s timeline in Italy, where Cat was present while EJ was comatose, the entire ISA operation collapses overnight.

Chad Left, and Cat’s Safety Net Vanished

Let’s talk about Chad DiMera for a second. His decision to pack up Thomas and Charlotte and head to Arizona didn’t just remove a love interest from Cat’s orbit. It removed her excuse. Chad was the legitimate reason Cat had to be anywhere near the DiMera family. With him gone, her closeness to EJ doesn’t just look curious. It looks suspicious. Maybe even calculated.

EJ notices things like that. He’s Stefano’s son. Paranoia isn’t a flaw for a DiMera. It’s genetics.

Cat Greene accepted EJ’s dinner invitation the same day Chad kissed her goodbye, and the writers are not going to let that slide. That’s the moment this mission shifted from undercover work to active danger.

The Part Nobody’s Talking About

Everyone keeps asking whether Cat can outsmart EJ. Fair question. But here’s what should keep fans awake at night… what happens to Mark Greene?

Cat’s brother is working inside EJ’s secret lab right now, under Dr. Rolf’s supervision. If EJ connects the dots between Cat and the ISA, Mark becomes a hostage without even knowing it. EJ doesn’t need to threaten Cat directly. He just has to keep Mark close and let Cat do the math herself.

Shane Donovan sent Cat into this situation with one job: find out how EJ funded the Titan-DiMera takeover and identify his silent partner. Clean and simple on paper. But Shane didn’t account for Rita excavating Cat’s timeline, or Paulina turning the investigation into a public spectacle, or Cat’s own emotions getting tangled up with a man who reads Wuthering Heights and wears his dead father’s ring like a crown.

Don’t be surprised if this mission was doomed the moment Cat sat down at that table. The spy who thought she was running the game? She might already be the one getting played.
