Days of our Lives’ Marlena finally discovered that Rita played a part in the clues that Belle and Chad were following. Marlena confronted Rita and got the response she expected, but Rita may not have been exactly lying.
Key Takeaways
- Marlena had it out with Rita.
- Rita got flustered and denied knowing anything about Dominic.
- Her reaction spoke volumes.
It Was Rita All Along
Thanks to the Verdi program that Belle (Martha Madison) gave Steve (Stephen Nichols), it was revealed that Rita (Maggie Carney) had been the one behind the clues Belle and Chad were following. Rita appears to be the person who has been carrying out Stefano’s (Joseph Mascolo) wishes with the chessboard.
Marlena wasted no time facing off with Rita. After all, she wants answers regarding whether she and Stefano are really Dominic’s parents. Rita instantly got flustered as she denied knowing anything about Dominic.
It was a side of Rita that DAYS fans don’t normally see. Rita is usually poised and put together, and she knows exactly what her job or agenda is in every situation. That was not the case this time around; in fact, Rita couldn’t get away from Marlena fast enough.
What Does Rita Know?
Rita was caught off guard by Marlena’s questions. It was as if Rita had just learned information about a situation she thought she knew everything about.
Stefano had a knack for making certain people who worked for him believe they knew all and were his trusted confidants. In reality, Stefano compartmentalized his life and schemes, only telling those he trusted what he wanted them to know.
Based on Rita’s reaction to Dominic’s birth certificate news, she may have realized that Stefano did not confide all in her. Rita gave Stefano her undying loyalty, even above EJ (Daniel Feuerriegel), despite her attempt to make EJ believe she would never betray him.
What this means is that Rita might not know as much as Marlena, Steve, or even EJ thinks. DAYS spoilers reveal EJ wants answers from Rita after he heard what Marlena said about her and Stefano being named on Dominic’s birth certificate.
Stefano most likely kept Rita in the dark about a lot of things for good reason, because he never wants anyone to know his full plan or agenda.
