EJ has spent weeks watching people close in on him from nearly every direction on Days of Our Lives, and Cat may have just given him one more reason to worry. She finally told him that their time together at the clinic in Europe was no coincidence because she was working for the ISA back then. Cat insisted that part of her life was over, but EJ’s face after their embrace suggested his brain immediately opened several unpleasant new tabs.
Key Takeaways
- Cat told EJ that she had once worked for the ISA and that their time together in Europe was no coincidence.
- EJ accepted the confession on the surface, but his reaction afterward suggested the revelation unsettled him.
- Cat’s intelligence background could make her especially dangerous if she starts digging into EJ’s secrets.
Cat Just Gave EJ Something New to Fear
Before speaking with EJ (Dan Feuerriegel), Cat (AnnaLynne McCord) met with Rafe (Galen Gering) and discussed just how desperate EJ had become. Rafe worried that desperation made him even more dangerous, especially because Cat remembered telling EJ about her ISA connection while he was unconscious. If EJ remembered any of that conversation, Cat already knew she needed to be ready for whatever came next.
Cat ultimately decided to tell EJ herself. She explained that Clyde (James Read) was the reason they both ended up at the European clinic and admitted she worked for the ISA, though she downplayed the job, describing herself as essentially a desk worker. EJ outwardly accepted the explanation and told her everyone had a past, which was remarkably reasonable behavior for a DiMera facing unexpected intelligence-agency news.
Then came the interesting part. EJ kissed Cat after she explained that she told him because she was falling for him and did not want secrets between them. Once they hugged, however, EJ looked distinctly unsettled, suggesting that the ISA revelation was still rattling around in his head.

EJ Has Plenty He Does Not Want Cat Investigating
EJ already has enough problems without discovering that the woman getting closer to him has intelligence experience. Rafe said the walls were closing in while EJ threatened Gwen (Emily O’Brien) and tried to protect himself from the fallout of his various schemes. Cat may claim she left the ISA behind, but EJ knows better than most that old skills do not simply evaporate because somebody changed jobs.
There is also the matter of Coriseal and everything surrounding EJ’s increasingly shaky position. Rita (Maggie Carney) is investigating Stefano’s (Joe Mascolo) chess set, several people are actively looking for ways to bring EJ down, and Cat has now confirmed that she knows how intelligence work operates. Even if she never conducted glamorous field missions, she may still know exactly which questions to ask.
That may be what bothered EJ most. Cat was trying to keep a secret in their relationship, but from his perspective, she may have accidentally revealed how dangerous she could become if she started examining his. EJ can handle enemies he recognizes. Falling for one who might know how to investigate him is considerably less convenient.
