Key Takeaways

  • Sophia may be alive, sending shockwaves through Salem.
  • EJ zeroes in on Kristen over the attempt on Johnny.
  • Tony and Anna return as Stefano’s will-reading stirs DiMera drama.

Cold Hard Truth

Amy (Shi Ne Nielsen) arrives at the Salem police department after being summoned by Jada (Elia Cantu). “What couldn’t you tell me over the phone?” asks Amy, while being led into Jada’s office. Jada has to deliver the cold, hard truth. “There is a possibility that the blood could be a match for Sophia,” responds Jada.

Staying or Going?

Meanwhile, Alex (Robert Scott Wilson, did you know this about the actor?) meets with Joy (AlexAnn Hopkins) at the Brady Pub to discuss their daughter and Joy’s plans moving forward. “So are you saying you want to stay?” says Alex, hoping Joy won’t take baby Kelsey and leave Salem. “I do, responds Joy.

Making Accusations

EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) confronts Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) about the part she played in Sophia’s (Rachel Boyd) downfall. “Are you suggesting that I had something to do with Sophia trying to kill Johnny?” questions an appalled Kristen. Apparently, yes, that’s exactly what EJ is suggesting.

Later, Kristen gets the shock of her life when she hears someone entering the mansion. “EJ, is that you?” she calls out. Nope. It’s not EJ. It’s Sophia.

“What’s the matter, Kristen?” coos the teenager that Kristen left for dead. “You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”

Where There’s A Will…

It’s time to read the late Stefano’s will, and his family is returning home for the occasion. “It’s good to be back, isn’t it?” remarks Tony (Thaao Penghlis), while entering the DiMera home.

Anna (Leann Hunley) isn’t so sure about the situation. “Is passing on any of this really a good thing?” she asks. Only time will tell.
