Days of our Lives: Chad Unleashes Fury That Shatters Cat in Heated Showdown

Days of Our Lives expects that Chad DiMera (Connor Floyd) blasts Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) soon, and it may be because she knows EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) has Lexie Carver (Nikki Crawford) hidden down in the basement of his family home.

Mind you, EJ doesn’t want Lexie to be there, but it is her deathbed request, so EJ is giving it to her, even though he doesn’t agree. And Cat learned by eavesdropping, but she mostly just cares about her ISA investigation.

Days of our Lives: EJ Thwarts Cat

So, ISA financial analyst Cat has been investigating EJ for about a year now. And recently Cat confronted EJ about seeing him coming out of the secret tunnels. And as his personal assistant, Cat insisted she needs to know what’s going on. But EJ said if she needed to know, he would tell her. So she was thwarted.

Cat and Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) have been digging for clues to bring down EJ once and for all. And right now, Rafe is on the way to Alamania to rescue Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) and offer immunity if she’ll testify against her former co-conspirator EJ.

However, Cat is back in Salem still searching for information. And meanwhile, Theo Carver (Tyler Joseph Andrews) is worried sick about his mom. He told Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) and Lani Price (Sal Stowers) that he is certain Lexie is not in South Africa visiting her mom, Celeste Perrault (Beverly Todd). Because when Theo tried to call Lexie, the phone didn’t have an international ringtone.

And then Theo called his grandma Celeste and noticed her ringtone was international. And Theo would know since he spent the last several years living and working in South Africa himself. So, he doesn’t know where she is, but he knows Lexie is not with her mom and she is in the US.

So, Lani told Theo that there were no commercial flight records for Lexie and the geolocator on her phone has been turned off. Her driver, the ride share dropped her at the Salem airfield and then poof, Lexie was just gone as far as any of them know.

EJ the Primary Suspect DOOL

So, Johnny, Theo, and Lani  started talking about Lexie, Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk), and Gwen. All missing, all possibly connected. All signs pointing to EJ because he has ties to them all. And no, he wasn’t responsible for Gwen’s disappearance. But yes, he is happy about it.

Her ex, Dmitri von Lochner (Peter Porte), snatched Gwen for payback and to use her as bait for Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart). However, Lonnie is very certain that the sudden disappearances of her bestie Kristen and her sister Lexie are connected. And of course, they are.

Lexie and Kristen tried to swap places so Lexie would wind up on DiMera Island. And then Kristen could run away so she wouldn’t be in EJ’s clutches. And Lonnie knows it’s all suspicious. So, Johnny went to ask EJ what he knows about Lexie’s suspicious trip supposedly to South Africa.

And at the mansion, Cat had been pressing EJ about how she’s willing to do anything for him. She even offered to tuck him into bed since he’s sick. But when Johnny showed up and asked to speak in private, EJ sent her away, asked her to close the doors behind her, but sneaky spy Cat snuck around the corner to the hallway behind the living room to eavesdrop on Johnny and EJ talking about Lexie.

Days of our Lives: EJ Levels with Johnny

And EJ was honest with Johnny. He said before Kristen could be shipped off to the family island, Lexie helped her escape and took her place in the shipping pod. So, Johnny was shocked to learn that his aunt Lexie is dying and has almost no time left. And EJ confided to Johnny that he at least convinced Lexie to come back to the mansion with him instead of running off.

And EJ said she’s down in the tunnel rooms. Of course, EJ’s very upset and told Johnny he didn’t want this for Lexie. And he said he also told Lexie that Theo and Abe Carver (James Reynolds) should know what’s going on. However, EJ also made it clear he promised his sister Lexie he wouldn’t tell Abe and Theo, so he’s not going to. But Johnny said he’s under no obligation to keep a secret he didn’t make.

So, Cat was sneaking, spying, and she heard all of this. She already knew EJ was hiding something down in the tunnels. And Cat also heard EJ admit to Johnny that Dr. Wilhelm Rolf’s (Richard Wharton) miracle cure wasn’t the cure they hoped it would be. So that should give Cat some perspective on why EJ refused to give Cat the drug for her mom. It’s not good for brain issues, just sepsis apparently, which is still a good thing.

Days of Our Lives: Secrets, Betrayal, and Deathbed Confessions

So now, we’ve got Johnny conflicted because Theo sent him to talk to EJ. And the clincher was Cat also heard EJ saying he was relieved Lexie can’t tell anyone what she knows. And Cat heard Johnny blasting EJ because he said he was starting to think his dad had a soul. I mean, come on, he does. And a heart that’s breaking over losing his sister again.

Later this week, day spoilers say Chad runs into Cat and he asks her for a favor. And this could be Chad flat out asking Cat if his brother EJ has Lexie because this week Chad’s helping Theo search for his mom and Johnny is sitting on the secret. Maybe because he’s also, at least for now, respecting Lexie’s last wish, as EJ said.

But in the summer promo, right after the scene of Lexie on her deathbed at the hospital with EJ, Theo, and Abe, there was a really heated scene between Chad and Cat. They were near the Salem Inn and Chad was blasting Cat, absolutely enraged. Chad’s yelling at Cat that she knew about all this and did nothing.

And she’s pleading with Chad and saying there’s reasons that I haven’t told you everything. So, the reason Cat hasn’t told Chad everything is because she works for the ISA. But he may think that it’s because Cat works for EJ and that’s where her loyalties lie.

Chad had been falling head over heels for Cat, but then Jennifer Horton (Melissa Reeves)  and his son Thomas put a stop to it after Rachel Black (Lorelei Olivia Mote) ran her mouth about the fake Abby thing. So, Chad is happily moving on with Belle Black (Martha Madison).

Cat in a Tough Spot on DOOL

And of course, Cat cannot tell Chad that she’s ISA. Cat even had to get permission to talk about her mission with Dr. Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) in that hypno session. And that was even with Doc having prior ISA clearance. So, with Lani and Theo already looking for Lexie and Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu) offering to do a wellness check, I suspect that Cat may keep quiet about EJ and Lexie, but somebody’s going to give Chad and Theo a hint because they figure out that Lexie is in the mansion.

Days of Our Lives is going to see Theo barging in there this week to confront Rita Lesley (Maggie Carney). He demands that she get out of his way before Theo makes Rita get out of the way. Then Chad and Theo are down in the tunnels. And that’s when they find Lexie. And then they notify Abe and he also shows up at the DiMera mansion and is down in their room under the tunnels.

Days of our Lives: EJ Going Down

Once the cat’s out of the bag, no pun intended, that’s when Abe and Theo take Lexie to the hospital for her last moments. So, Cat and Rafe are super close to getting the evidence to put EJ behind bars. Gwen’s dead man switch letter that Cat stole from Melinda Trask’s (Tina Huang) office was just what they needed to crack this wide open. But honestly, Cat is fixated on this. She has been breaking laws. She’s been crossing lines to break down EJ. Andrew Donovan (Colton Little) and Rafe have both told Cat that she needs to scale this back, but she’s not doing it. She is desperate to bring EJ to justice.

So, I think it’s going to crush Cat to hear Chad raging at her like that. But the bottom line is I think Cat’s prioritizing her investigation over the well-being of anybody, including Lexie. And Chad’s not going to like that. Even though Cat and Chad can’t date, up till now, Chad still liked and respected Cat. But it looks like that may be over soon because on top of pretending to be Chad’s dead wife, Cat’s pretending to be a lot of things that she isn’t, and it’s about to get messy.
