Salem, brace yourselves—Days of Our Lives is about to erupt into a storm of secrets and suspicions! For weeks, EJ DeMira has been lying unconscious, his life hanging by a thread as questions swirl around the attempt on his life. But now, the waiting is over. EJ is finally waking up, and the entire town is holding its breath, waiting to see if he will reveal the identity of the person who shot him. However, true to Salem form, nothing is ever as simple as it seems.

Next week, Susan Banks returns to Salem, just as EJ opens his eyes. A wave of emotion fills the sterile hospital room as his mother speaks softly to him, stirring something deep within him. Monitors beep, nurses freeze, and then—his eyes flicker open. The room bursts into cautious joy, but that relief is short-lived. This isn’t just a simple recovery. EJ’s awakening comes with immense pressure: What does he remember? Who shot him? And most chilling of all, will he tell the truth?

The police are already gathering, ready to extract a statement that could crack the case wide open. But will EJ speak? Could he possibly remember everything—the sound, the movement, the very face of the person who pulled the trigger? Or will he choose silence, keeping a dark secret hidden?

Rumors are buzzing through Salem, and one name keeps rising to the surface—Rachel Blake, EJ’s own niece. Could it be that the person closest to him, someone he trusted, is the one who tried to kill him? If EJ knows the truth, he’s caught in a moral nightmare: expose Rachel and destroy his family, or protect her and let a killer walk free. The pressure is mounting, and EJ may be forced to lie about what he remembers—playing the role of the confused victim just to protect his own blood.

Secrets are dangerous in Salem, and the longer EJ hides the truth, the more perilous his situation becomes. As he regains his strength, the question isn’t just what he remembers—it’s what he’s willing to sacrifice to keep his family’s darkest secret buried. When the truth finally comes out, could it tear the DeMira family apart? Salem’s web of lies and loyalty is on the verge of exploding—Days of Our Lives fans, get ready for the chaos that’s about to unfold.
