On the February 10 episode of Days of our Lives, Tony, Kristen, EJ, Chad, and Theo all said goodbye to the evil Stefano DiMera — yet again. Stefano’s children are famous for their morally gray life choices, which is why they were able to be somewhat understandings of Stefano’s virtues… and his vices. But grandson Theo always insists on seeing the world in stark black-and-white terms. Except when it comes to Stefano. So has he been pulling the wool over Salem’s eyes for years?
Key Takeaways
- Theo refused to see nuance with JJ.
- Theo saw nuance with Stefano.
- Is Theo just a liar and an opportunist — like the other DiMeras?
My Way or the Highway
Ever since Theo (Tyler Joseph Andrews) returned to Salem, he has barely taken a break from lecturing other people. When Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) objected to him getting the CEO job, it’s because he’s autistic and she’s a hater!
When his date with Jada (Elia Cantu) wasn’t going well, it was because she didn’t play chess, right? When he found out JJ (Casey Moss) was still a cop, well, that was a complete meltdown that came down to, but Theo doesn’t approve, and how could anyone do anything Theo doesn’t approve of?
When asked to consider that there might be more to the situation than just the right and wrong views, Theo rejects the possibility. It’s because he’s “high functioning,” as he claimed today. Other people MUST see things from his point of view.
Exceptional
Except when it comes to Stefano (Joseph Mascolo). Theo understands that his beloved “No-No” was a horrible villain who destroyed hundreds of lives, including those of people Theo and, especially, his father, Abe (James Reynolds), care about.
But Stefano was good to Theo, so Theo is open-minded to the possibility that there might be more than one story to be told here. Huh?
Wanted
So basically, Theo can see nuance. When he wants to. Which makes us wonder if this was something he was always capable of doing. But why bother when you can get your way by insisting the world must bend to you? Theo may prove himself to be the most manipulative and evil DiMera of all!
