It seems like EJ has his hands in pretty much everyone these days on Days of our Lives. The latest involves Stefano’s cheeseboard game that was left for John and Marlena. At first glance, it didn’t appear to have anything to do with EJ, but one action from the DiMera heir hints that it is not the case.

Key Takeaway

  • Cat sparked something in EJ as she talked about Chad and Belle’s trip.
  • EJ’s words and actions are not in sync.
  • There’s more to the Stefano mystery than meets the eye.

EJ Once Again Has Something to Hide

Chad (Conner Floyd) and Belle’s (Martha Madison) trip to Italy to look for clues in Stefano’s (Joseph Mascolo) mystery cheeseboard just took a turn. While Marlena (Deidre Hall) was warning Belle against it, Cat (AnnaLynne McCord) was subtly digging for information from EJ (Daniel Feuerriegel, who recently spoke with SoapHub about his alter ego).

The two things are very intertwined, although at first glance it may not seem that way. EJ has been adamant that he knows nothing about why Stefano left the cheeseboard to Marlena and John (Drake Hogestyn) or what the endgame is with it.

However, when Cat brought up Belle and Chad’s trip, EJ instantly became uncomfortable discussing it. EJ even made a crack about him and Chad swapping partners to hide just how uneasy he was feeling.

What Does EJ Really Know About Stefano’s Latest Mystery?

Italy is Stefano’s birthplace, and that didn’t go unmentioned by EJ. The comment made it appear as though something clicked for EJ about why Chad and Belle were really going to a place with such a deep family connection.

When the cheeseboard was brought up, Cat joked that it wasn’t really EJ’s problem. EJ’s response was to fiddle with the Phoenix ring while agreeing with her.

The fact that EJ chose to do that means the cheeseboard mystery leading to Italy is more significant than anyone initially thought, including him. EJ can say all he wants that it has nothing to do with him, but his uncomfortableness and playing with the ring say otherwise.

Once again, it seems like EJ is hiding something; in this case, he may not even know what that is. Let’s be honest, it’s no coincidence that Cat keeps digging into her past with EJ in Italy at the same time the cheeseboard clues have Chad and Belle heading there.

The question is, does EJ know more than he’s saying, or has he just realized the mystery will impact him, too?
