Xander panics as he realizes she’s having an allergic reaction.

Days of Our Lives Spoilers: EJ DiMera Pushes Forward With His Hospital Scheme
Meanwhile, EJ DiMera isn’t backing down from his hospital takeover. Kayla Johnson already refused to support the plan. But EJ predicts she’ll change her mind. Instead of pressuring Kayla further, EJ tries a new tactic. He approaches Marlena Evans, hoping to win her favor. Marlena’s opinion could influence the hospital board. But she’s just as suspicious of EJ’s motives.
Despite the pushback, EJ remains confident. He continues working with Dr. Jeffrey Russell, assuring him the plan will succeed. But he may not be ready for the competition coming his way.
Xander Eyes the Hospital for Himself
Across town, Xander Kiriakis tells Alex they should make a rival offer for the hospital. The Versavix research tied to it is worth millions. Xander believes they can outbid EJ and protect their family’s interests. This move sets up a business showdown. And the tension between the DiMera and Kiriakis camps is bound to explode.
Johnny DiMera is ready to make a bold choice. After a tense run-in with EJ and some advice from Marlena, he decides to accept a position at Titan. This move isn’t just career-driven—it’s personal. Johnny wants to step out from EJ’s shadow. Working with Xander gives him that chance. It’s a quiet rebellion, but one that could have big consequences.
