On the October 13 episode of Days of our Lives, EJ and Chad discussed the possibility of their having yet another brother. But then the conversation swerved to Cat, and her past with the ISA. She came in at that point, and Chad put on a frowny face and stomped out. Leaving EJ to tell Cat he doesn’t want her to go. She and Marlena had just discussed Cat’s feelings for EJ. But what if this is more about EJ’s feelings for someone else?

Key Takeaways

  • Cat assures Marlena that she doesn’t have romantic feelings for EJ.
  • EJ encourages Chad to reconsider his feelings about Cat and her past deception.
  • EJ’s defense of Cat raises questions about whether he’s secretly hoping to reunite with Belle.

EJ Defends Cat to Chad

Marlena (Deidre Hall) asked Cat (AnnaLynne McCord) if she was so upset about being fired by EJ (Dan Feuerriegel, who recently showed off his love of comics) because she’d fallen in love with him. Nah, Cat reassured, she was just in this for the spying. At the same time, EJ asked Chad (Conner Floyd) if he might forgive Cat for impersonating Abigail (Marci Miller), since she was doing it to protect her mother.

Chad pointed out she could have gone to the ISA, couldn’t she have? Eh, EJ said, it was obviously complicated. When Cat walked in on them both, Chad stomped out. But is this really the end of it?

Does EJ Have a Hidden Agenda for Chad and Cat?

We definitely see chemistry between EJ and Cat. But, we’ll be honest: We saw more between him and Belle (Martha Madison). And certainly more than we see between Belle and Chad.

What if EJ is slowly pushing Chad and Cat back together… so he can go after Belle for himself? He’ll settle for Cat while he’s biding his time, but what if Belle is the woman he really wants to be with?
