Days of our Lives Spoilers: Leo’s Loose Lips Shatter Gwen’s World Completely!

Days of Our Lives has Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) freaked out that Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) is missing. But did Leo make a huge mistake by spilling to Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) about the dead man’s switch info being held by Melinda Trask‘s (Tina Huang) law partner? This could actually ruin Gwen’s life. All thanks to Leo.

Days of our Lives: Leo’s Big Blunder

We’re going to get into the nitty-gritty of what’s going to happen to Gwen now that Leo blabbed about her secret dead man switch against EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel). He blabbed to ISA agent Cat. And of course, Leo’s motives are pure. He is trying to save Gwen. But Leo might have destroyed her future. Completely destroyed it.

As you know, Gwen’s not been heard of since she and EJ were chitchatting about life the other day, and she hasn’t returned any of Leo’s calls. She never got back to Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) either about looking into the counterfeit handbag ring. It just happened to be that Kayla Brady (Mary Beth Evans) happily rubbed it in EJ’s face that the state board was kicking him out of the hospital as owner and that Gwen would be replacing him.

Then, moments later, we saw some masked guy snatch Gwen up. And Leo hasn’t seen or heard from her since. And then he went to Gwen’s room at the Salem Inn and saw it was untouched. So then Leo got alarmed. Because it’s not like Gwen to not spend the night in her room. And she told Leo if she went missing that it was EJ who did it given all of their dirty dealings together.

So, Leo’s known for a while about Gwen’s dead man switch. She told Leo it would be enough to let him write a scathing exposé on EJ’s scandalous crimes. But Leo would only get it if something bad happened to Gwen and she was MIA for 10 days or more.

DOOL: Leo’s Critical Mistake and Gwen’s Confession

But Leo didn’t even wait the 10 days. He jumped the gun. Because lots of people in Salem think that something bad has happened to Gwen. We know Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) does PR for the hospital and of course Gwen plans on buying it from EJ.

So, Stephanie is in the loop on all of this and she just gave Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) an update and Stephanie told him that her dad and the Salem PD are looking for Gwen and we know the FBI is involved. Not only that but Leo told Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) about Gwen and then he went to see Melinda since Gwen’s lawyer’s on vacation and Leo told Marlena that the digital file that was left as the dead man switch was empty.

Days of our Lives: Marlena in a Tough Spot

And then she heard from Leo all about the dead man switch and that it was Gwen confessing all of her and EJ’s bad deeds. So Leo has blamed EJ for the missing file. He thinks he hacked in and stole it. However, Leo hasn’t considered the fact that he told ISA agent Cat about the file.

But Marlena figured out pretty fast what happened that Cat stole the file and then deleted it. And Marlena can’t even warn Leo about it because Marlena has special clearance from the ISA. But Leo does not. So, Marlena is stuck in a very uncomfortable position.

And on top of that, Leo’s worried that he’s next on EJ’s hit list because he assumes the villain already got Gwen. We saw that Cat took Gwen’s stolen confession to FBI agent Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering). And Cat also told him she had already handed over the letter to her ISA boss, Andrew Donovan (Colton Little).

So, after chatting with Rafe, he and Cat realize that Gwen’s disappearance buys EJ the time he needs to hang on to the hospital, and Cat knows that EJ needs time to clear this all up. There’s a 90-day period where Gwen can buy it before the hospital goes into receivership.

The Missing Puzzle Piece and Gwen’s Jeopardy on Days

If you don’t know what that word means, it’s when a court orders a third party to take control of a company or organization because its original owners can’t legally keep running it. So, if Gwen’s not back in this 90 days, then the court would take the hospital from EJ and put a neutral third party in charge of it.

And that would give the court time to keep looking for a buyer. But it wouldn’t be allowed to be EJ. However, that 90-day window is a long enough time for him to maybe bribe somebody on the board or find some way to stop the sale. But that only works if Gwen’s not around to trigger the purchase. If she was in Salem, EJ would be out of luck immediately.

She would buy it next week and the 90 days wouldn’t even matter. So, it’s no wonder that Cat and Rafe and Leo and others think that EJ did something to Gwen to get her out of the way. And what we know is her cell phone’s off and Andrew tried to ping it. They couldn’t find it and the ISA can’t do a remote start on the cell phone. So, somebody’s been very careful to keep Gwen’s location a secret.

DOOL: Cat in Big Trouble

And Rafe scolded Cat for committing a crime by stealing Gwen’s file. However, Rafe gets that Cat had to act fast because she was worried Leo would get the letter, publish everything that was in Gwen’s confession, and it would tip off EJ, and then he’d have time to cover his tracks. So Rafe had a hard time seeing anything that they could use to arrest EJ in Gwen’s confession. But Cat pointed to one item where Gwen confessed that she and EJ kidnapped Dimitri von Leuschner (Peter Porte) after he was out of prison because that happened on US soil even though he wound up in Alamania.

And the letter says Gwen and EJ bankrolled Dimitri’s kidnapping and then she used the money to help EJ fund Dr. Wilhelm Rolf (Richard Wharton) experiments and to help get the patent and to buy the hospital. So Gwen and EJ thought they’d make billions. And this is the puzzle piece that Rafe and Cat have been searching for this whole time. The identity of EJ’s silent partner.

Days of our Lives: Everyone Searching for Gwen

They’ve got it. But Gwen’s missing. So the ISA, FBI, Salem PD, and Black Patch are all looking for her. And so is Leo, who packed a bag, and he’s ready to run off. Later this week, Leo texts Dimitri and tells Chad DiMera (Conner Floyd) he knows that Gwen is in Alamania. And Chad and Belle Black (Martha Madison) are heading to Italy this week to follow the chess set clues. And according to Days of our Lives spoilers, seems like Chad and Belle may help search for Gwen while they’re there.

If you recall, when Gwen first told Leo about the dead man’s switch, she specifically told Leo the instructions were for the lawyer to make sure her death was legit and wait 10 days before flipping the switch. That’s because Gwen’s confession was only intended to be released in the event of her death when no law enforcement agencies could come after her for these crimes.

She knew Leo would publicize all the dirt on EJ in case the bad guy killed her. Instead, Leo told a law enforcement agent about the confession letter, which is about as dumb as you can get. He runs his big mouth all the time to everybody. And now once Gwen is released from her kidnapper, she could be looking at life behind bars. All thanks to Leo.

Days of Our Lives: A Deal in the Making

But then Rafe, Dimitri, Gwen and Leo do play let’s make a deal this summer. So it looks like Rafe may be offering a deal to Dimitri who doesn’t want to take it and Leo tries to convince Dimitri to make a deal with him instead. So, I think they might be offering Gwen immunity for Dimitri’s kidnapping if he will agree to it and if Gwen testifies against EJ because EJ is the big fish in this equation. Not Dimitri, not Gwen.

But even then, there’s no guarantee that she’s going to come out of this alive because bad men like to disappear witnesses all the time. So, I wonder if Leo is going to be in hot water with his ex-bestie if she finds out his big mouth put the FBI and the ISA on her trail.
