The last thing Days of our Lives’ EJ expected when he roped Johnny into helping him with the Coriseal cover-up fallout was for his son to turn on him. However, that’s what happened because Johnny has more of a conscience than his father. What Johnny doesn’t understand is that he keeps giving EJ more ways to hurt him in his quest to do the right thing.
Key Takeaways
- Johnny has made promises that could cost him.
- George has given Johnny a way to help Sarah.
- EJ will only be pushed so far, even by his son.
Taking Accountability Means Everything to Johnny
After doing his father’s dirty work left him guilt-ridden, Johnny (Carson Boatman) remains focused on making things right no matter what. When Johnny spoke to Jada (Elia Cantu) and Shawn (Brandon Beemer), he realized George (Michael Rose) must have changed Destiny’s (Sarah Bartholomew) hospital records.
Those altered records are the key to the lawsuit against Sarah (Linsey Godfrey). Johnny now has a way to hold George and EJ (Daniel Feuerriegel) accountable for the Coriseal disaster, or at the very least setting up Sarah.
Johnny even fired George in his quest to get the laptop and secure the proof the police need. EJ’s losing patience with Johnny’s determination, and it means trouble.
EJ’s In Unfamiliar Territory
There’s no question that EJ has alwasy been as ruthless as they come. EJ’s a chip off the old Stefano (Joseph Mascolo) block and always has been.
However, Johnny just put him in a position where EJ will have to choose between his usual revenge-and-get-even mode and his only son. EJ is all about keeping his secret, which raises the question of whether he will revert to his usual tactics to get out of this situation.
Aside from the fact that EJ does love his son, doing anything to hurt Johnny will alter EJ’s relationship with his other child, Sydney (Sydney Malakeh). Will he really alienate both of his kids?
EJ also knows what it is like to be out of Johnny’s life. It happened when Johnny learned what EJ did to Sami (Alison Sweeney). Their relationship was forever changed, and it took EJ a long time to be on decent terms with his son.
The stakes are even higher for EJ now that Johnny and Chanel (Raven Bowens) have Trey (Joseph Ihlenfeld and Jordan Perdue) and baby Olivia. EJ hurting Johnny will cross a line that Chanel will never forgive, and she will no doubt ban him from her kids’ lives.
Johnny has given EJ plenty of ammunition to harm him as revenge. Will EJ really retaliate against his son?
