On the July 9 episode of Days of our Lives, EJ dismissed all of his scheming. Rita called him out on it. EJ is so lucky to have her. Why all his siblings and niblings could use a dose of Rita, too.
Key Takeaways
- Rita fears no DiMera scion.
- EJ needed the reality check.
- Kristen, Chad, Johnny, Theo, and Rachel could use one, too.
Tough Talking Dame
Rita (Maggie Carney) survived working for Stefano (Joseph Mascolo). Does EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) think he can intimidate her? Well, spoiler: He can’t. When EJ defended himself against tampering with Holly’s (Ashley Puzemis) test results so that her arsenic poisoning would show up — but not the drug — Rita punctured his self-important balloon. EJ needs to be reminded he’s not the smartest person in the room every time. But he’s not the only DiMera due for a dose of tough love… and reality.
After she’s done with EJ, Rita should head over to Chad (Conner Floyd). Dude, stop letting your kids run your lives. You’re turning them into brats. If you want Cat (AnnaLynne McCord), go after Cat. Jennifer (Melissa Reeves) and Jack (Matthew Ashford) will learn to deal. Next up is Kristen (Stacy Haiduk). Her kid is way past brat. Rachel (Lorelei Olivia Mote) is full psycho. And it’s all Kristen’s doing. Either learn to parent better, or lean into her DiMera heritage and raise the next Stefano DiMera Jr. Commit!
You know who else needs to commit? Johnny (Carson Boatman). Either do EJ’s evil bidding or don’t. But don’t waffle and angst over it if you do. You made a choice. Stand by it. As for Theo (Tyler Joseph Andrews), stop judging people. You love to claim you can’t help it. Well, you’re awfully good at forgiving yourself. So you can do it. Either admit you don’t want to when it comes to other people, or have yourself a seat.
