Days of our Lives: Drugged Holly Spirals Out of Control in Violent Rampage!

Days of Our Lives reveals Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) was going to start acting like a real jerk because of scenes from the winter promo, and now we know why. Looks like Holly’s skin supplements were swapped with psycho pills, and it’s about to get super messy in Salem.

And just when you think Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) couldn’t stoop any lower, she goes and does it. Sophia is sabotaging Holly after pretending to be nice. And now Sophia is going to sit back and watch Holly’s life blow up.

Sophia Choi’s Dangerous Scheme at Bayview on Days of Our Lives

I don’t think the doctors and nurses are keeping a close enough eye on the patients at Bayview. Not only was Sophia sneaking out with a little aiding and abetting from Rachel Black (Alice Halsey), but Sophia’s also been stockpiling her psychiatric meds and now she’s about to set up Holly for a really bad fall.

We all knew that Sophia was looking to start trouble when she asked Dr. Kim Gregory (Kim Hawthorne) to invite Holly to come back over to Bayview again. Sophia was all wound up watching Arianna Hernandez Horton (Marissa Reyes) and Holly talk about their big plans for rush week, including morning smoothies and Holly’s supplements. This is hitting Sophia hard for a few reasons.

First, she really wanted to go to college, but her controlling mom, Amy Choi, wanted her to skip that degree, get married, and raise her baby with Tate Black (Leo Howard). Now that Trey’s been adopted out, it should have cleared the path for Sophia to pursue her education. But instead of being a college freshman with everybody else at Salem U, she’s stuck at Bayview.

The Root of the Rivalry: Sophia, Tate, and Holly’s History on DOOL

What’s likely not helping Sophia either is that she’s clearly not taking all of her prescribed medications since she had a whole pile of them to dump into Holly’s supplement bottle. The meds seem pretty strong based on the promo.

We all know Sophia’s been gunning for Holly ever since their junior year at Salem High because Sophia had this big crush on Tate and she thought he liked her. However, Tate and Holly were dating secretly and lying to everybody. Tate was leading Sophia on, and Holly was using Aaron Greene (Louis Tomeo) in the same way on Days of our Lives.

That was because Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) and Theresa Donovan (Emily O’Brien) didn’t want Tate dating Holly after she let him get arrested and blamed for her overdose. Holly Jonas was the one who was the party girl popping pills, and Tate was totally innocent. Yet Holly was going to let Tate go down for her mistake. Understandably, the parents didn’t want them together. When it all came out, Sophia was devastated to have been tricked and led on.

Sophia’s Diabolical Plan to Sabotage Holly on Days of Our Lives

Then Sophia actually got a shot with Tate, but he wasn’t over Holly, so that got messy fast. Then Sophia wound up pregnant. But now Tate and Holly are stronger than ever, and of course, Sophia hates that. Sophia hasn’t given up on the idea of taking Tate back from Holly.

First, Sophia needs to take Holly down and get her out of the way. Now Sophia’s got this diabolical new plan. Honestly, it seems just as bad as when she wore that fake baby bump and set up that false adoption scheme.

I think Dr. Kim Gregory may need some additional training because her psych patients are running circles around her. Dr. Gregory seems oblivious to them plotting and scheming. The shrink still doesn’t know that Sophia can really talk.

Even though Sophia tried to slap Holly on her last visit, as soon as Sophia asked for a redo, Dr. Gregory called to facilitate a second meeting. On the surface, it seemed to go smoothly, but Sophia has fooled Dr. Kim Gregory once again.

The Supplement Switcheroo and the Danger of Pilfered Meds

I kind of think Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) is right and Rachel probably needs to be in a better psychiatric facility. Sophia certainly needs someplace with better security that keeps a better eye on patients because she is one sneaky chick. Once Sophia saw Ari and Holly’s video about Rush, Sophia’s wheels started turning.

After a fake apology to Holly and then asking for one in return, we saw Sophia accidentally push Holly’s bag to the floor, spilling everything out. Sophia got really lucky because Holly just happened to have her skin supplement bottle with her. That gave Sophia the chance to grab Holly’s bottle, hide it, and then fill it up with pilfered psych meds. This is not the first time Sophia has messed with Holly like this.

If you remember, Sophia got Holly really drunk—so bad she almost died in a dorm room candle fire. I’m sure Sophia is going to make sure Holly gets her bottle back. If Holly were smart, she’d throw away the supplements and get some new ones just because they were out of her hands, but we all know Sophia’s going to get away with it for a while.

Days of Our Lives Winter Promo: Holly Jonas’ Spiral

The long winter promo showed Tate getting really annoyed because Holly started yelling and chewing him out at the Brady Pub. Holly Jonas laid into Tate and said he thinks everything is perfect when it isn’t. Later, Ari was trying to get through to Holly, and that wasn’t going well either. Ari told Holly she’s acting differently, but that’s not going to stop her.

I’m guessing the pills that Sophia gave her are basically going to give Holly a really bad attitude adjustment. That, plus the pressure of doing Rush with Ari, is going to have everybody wondering what’s up with Holly. I don’t think anybody’s going to stop and think that Sophia drugged her. Holly may start acting erratically and irrationally.

Holly may even get rejected by the sororities if Sophia’s drugs make her act inappropriately at parties and events. So, Holly might even hook up with somebody else. Plus, most psych meds come with warning labels that say, “Do not take with alcohol.” I absolutely expect Ari and Holly to be drinking during rush, and that can make Sophia’s mental meds really drive Holly out of control.

Days of Our Lives February Sweeps: Will Rachel Expose Sophia?

This has me wondering what exactly is Sophia’s endgame. Is Sophia trying to sabotage Holly in general, or is she trying to push Holly over the edge so she winds up in Bayview also? Or even worse, that Holly overdoses like what happened to her before.

Whatever Sophia’s plan is, it involves breaking up Holly and Tate so that Sophia can have him back. Not that Tate wants her; Sophia is absolutely deluded if she thinks Tate will give her the time of day again.

Maybe Holly gets lucky and Rachel figures out that Sophia is pulling this medication supplement switcheroo and tells somebody. Maybe Rachel warns Tate or Holly. Either way, this awful train wreck of a situation is about to leave the station in Salem.

Since it’s February sweeps, we know things are about to get really rough on Holly. Holly is going to be acting out, lashing out, and getting angry when Tate and Ari call her out, with nobody having any clue that Sophia is to blame for all of it.
