DAYS OF OUR LIVES SPOILERS: SHANE DONOVAN CORNERS CAT GREENE WITH DANGEROUS ISA DEMAND

The ISA Director Won’t Take No for an Answer

Cat Greene thought she’d finally escaped her deceptive past, but Shane Donovan has other plans that could destroy everything she’s built in Salem. The ISA Director has been relentlessly pursuing the former con artist since May, and now he’s ready to make his move with an ultimatum that could shatter her growing relationship with Chad DiMera.

Shane’s Strategic Power Play Takes Center Stage

Those mysterious calls Cat has been dodging? They’re about to become impossible to ignore. Shane Donovan, who’s been running the International Security Alliance with an iron fist since becoming director, has set his sights on Salem’s most unlikely recruit. And he’s not the type to accept rejection.

The turning point came at John Black’s memorial on June 9, 2025, when Cat casually acknowledged Shane as “Director” without even stopping to chat. That subtle moment? It revealed she knows exactly who he is and what he represents. This wasn’t just a polite greeting—it was a woman recognizing her potential handler.

Since May, Cat’s been playing a dangerous game of phone tag, rejecting call after call from the persistent ISA chief. But Shane’s patience has run out. Spoilers indicate that by June 23, he’ll back her into a corner with a demand she can’t refuse. The man who once infiltrated Stefano DiMera’s operations and managed double agents knows exactly how to apply pressure where it hurts most.

The Leverage That Could Destroy Cat’s Redemption

Here’s where things get dicey. Shane isn’t approaching Cat with a friendly job offer—he’s coming with leverage that could demolish her carefully reconstructed life. Remember Cat’s impersonation of Abigail Deveraux DiMera? That scheme that nearly destroyed Chad and Jack Deveraux? Shane knows every sordid detail.

While Cat’s deception was orchestrated by Clyde Weston—who held her mother, Catharina Meleounis Green, hostage—the ISA Director sees an opportunity. Her impersonation skills are too valuable to waste, and Shane has a mission that requires exactly her kind of talents.

The real kicker? Shane might not just use her past crimes as leverage. He could threaten her family’s safety or dangle legal consequences over her head. This is a man who sent John Black on a fatal mission without blinking. Manipulating a reformed con artist into service? That’s child’s play for someone with his resume.

What This Means for Chad and Cat’s Future

Chad DiMera has no idea what’s coming. After everything he’s been through—losing the real Abigail, being deceived by Cat’s impersonation, then somehow finding forgiveness and friendship—this ISA bombshell could obliterate their bond.

If Cat accepts Shane’s mission, she’ll be forced into a world of secrets and lies. How can she look Chad in the eye knowing she’s keeping such a massive secret? Their friendship, built on her remorse and his forgiveness, would be poisoned by deception once again.

But if she refuses? Shane Donovan doesn’t handle rejection well. He could expose her remaining secrets, threaten her family, or make her life in Salem impossible. The ISA Director has connections everywhere—one word from him could turn Cat from reformed sinner to public enemy number one.

There’s also the intriguing connection through John Black, who helped Cat’s grandmother fake her mother’s death to escape abuse. Could Shane use this ISA history as additional leverage? “Your family already owes us,” he might say. “Time to pay up.”

Will Cat Choose the Mission or Risk Everything?

As Salem watches this high-stakes chess match unfold, one thing is crystal clear: Cat Greene is trapped between her past and her future. Shane’s demand isn’t just about one mission—it’s about control, about proving the ISA can turn anyone into an asset.

The questions pile up like dominos waiting to fall. Will Cat confess everything to Chad before Shane forces her hand? Can she find a way to satisfy the ISA without destroying her relationships? Or will she discover that in Salem, redemption always comes with a price?

With Shane Donovan pulling the strings and Cat’s impersonation skills on the table, this storyline promises to deliver the kind of explosive drama Days fans crave. Because when the ISA comes calling, nobody says no—they just choose how much they’re willing to lose.
