Meanwhile, suspicions swirl around Johnny DiMera and Kate Roberts Brady, while Ava Vitali makes a hasty exit from Salem. Will Chad be able to save EJ, and who is behind the shocking attack?
The episode picks up with an unseen intruder catching EJ off guard in the DiMera mansion. Before EJ can react, the mystery figure fires a bullet, leaving him wounded and in urgent need of medical help. When Chad stumbles upon the scene, he flies into panic mode, calling 911 and attempting to stop the bleeding as paramedics rush to the mansion.
As EJ is rushed to the hospital, Cat Greene steps in to console Chad, strengthening their bond amid the crisis. Meanwhile, Chanel Dupree DiMera grows increasingly anxious about Johnny DiMera, who is missing at a critical moment. As news of EJ’s shooting spreads, Chanel can’t help but wonder if Johnny could have been responsible for pulling the trigger on his own father.
Elsewhere, Kate Roberts Brady is spotted with a gun, adding to the list of possible suspects. She later delivers cryptic updates to Roman Brady, hinting that EJ may no longer be a problem. Roman’s investigation leads him to check the pub’s locked box, where Johnny previously retrieved a gun. Could Johnny have shot EJ and then quietly returned the weapon?
Meanwhile, Ava Vitali hurriedly disposes of Melinda Trask’s weapon in a garbage can before making her escape from Salem.

Fearing she’ll be framed, she may decide to leave town before Chad makes his shocking discovery.
