On the September 22 episode of Days of our Lives, Sarah sobbed to Kayla about how dare EJ accuse her of Destiny’s death. Did Sarah forget all the weeks she spent beating herself up about the exact same thing? Does EJ’s guilt absolve hers?
Key Takeaways
- Sarah missed Destiny’s condition and initially blamed herself.
- EJ’s tainted drugs ultimately caused Destiny’s death.
- EJ’s guilt does not completely settle Sarah’s responsibility.
Sarah’s Misdiagnosis Continues to Haunt Her
Destiny came to Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) at the clinic. She listed her symptoms. Sarah diagnosed her with the flu and sent her on her way. Later, Destiny (Sarah J. Bartholomew) collapsed at Sarah’s feet in Horton Square and died.
Sarah blamed herself, especially when it turned out Destiny had drugs in her system. She spent weeks feeling guilty and telling Brady (Eric Martsolf) she needed to get to the bottom of Destiny’s death. And then she found out that the pills Destiny took were tainted.
EJ Can Blame Sarah, but He Cannot Escape the Truth
The drugs Destiny took had been accidentally poisoned with arsenic, and DiMera Pharma covered it up, meaning a few bad batches made it to market. That’s what killed Destiny. Which means her death was all EJ’s fault, and not at all Sarah’s.
The only reason EJ (Dan Feuerriegel, who briefly teased the state of his character in a year) is blaming her is that she made an anonymous complaint to the medical board about him, which anyone with any sense would instantly figure out was her. Sarah is not good at being stealthy.
EJ Is Guilty, but Is Sarah Completely Innocent?
So, yes, EJ is absolutely, 100% to blame for the bad drugs, and Sarah had every right to turn him in. But… Sarah still missed what was wrong with Destiny. The same way she did with Holly (Ashley Puzemis). EJ caused Destiny’s condition, but Sarah failed to diagnose it. She’s right. But he’s right, too.
