🌟 NIGHTMARE IN SALEM! Family Torn Apart by Gunfire, a Son in Cuffs, and a Town Divided! Who Shot EJ?! 🔫💔

Salem is reeling, and fans of Days of Our Lives better buckle up, because Monday’s episode is about to drop a BOMBSHELL that will shake the town to its very core.

🚨 THE BULLET THAT SHATTERED SALEM

As the sun rises over Salem, long shadows fall on a town brimming with secrets and betrayal. The Dera mansion, a palace of power and deception, becomes the epicenter of a life-shattering drama when EJ Dera faces his own son, Johnny, in a confrontation soaked in tension, trauma, and truth… or so we think.

EJ, his memory like shattered glass, stares into Johnny’s eyes, reliving the horrific moment where he believes he saw his own son with a gun pointed right at him. “The last thing I remember,” EJ whispers, his voice trembling, “is you standing there… with the barrel of that gun aimed at me.”

But Johnny has his OWN version: “You handed me the gun, Dad. I walked away. I didn’t shoot you!”

So… WHO DID?! 🚫

❤️ A FATHER’S LOVE VS A SON’S GUILT

In a moment that ripped through every fan’s heart, EJ pulls Johnny into a trembling embrace. “You’re the reason I’m still alive,” he says. But just when we start to believe in their emotional reunion, EJ asks the million-dollar question: “If you didn’t shoot me… then who did?”

This ONE line sends a chill through Salem and sets the stage for a mystery that threatens to implode the entire Dera dynasty. 🌪️

🕵️‍♂️ JADA MAKES HER MOVE – SHOCK ARREST

Before EJ can piece together the truth, Jada Hunter storms into the mansion like a woman on a mission. “Johnny Dera,” she declares coldly, “you’re under arrest for the attempted murder of your father.”

BOOM. 🚨🔪

Johnny is cuffed. EJ is enraged. The Dera name is in chaos.

Jada claims there are witnesses, fingerprints on the weapon, and “evidence that doesn’t lie.” But EJ fights like a lion. “My son is INNOCENT! I’d stake my life on it!”

📈 But here’s the twist: Is EJ’s love blinding him to the truth?

💬 PARTNERS DIVIDED: RAFE VS JADA

Over at the station, Jada’s decision sparks an explosion. Her partner, Rafe Hernandez, is FURIOUS.

“You’re making a mistake,” he tells her. “Johnny’s story checks out. You’re dragging an innocent kid through the mud.”

Jada snaps back, standing by her decision. But her icy resolve drives a wedge into their partnership, one that may never be repaired.

💪 MOTHER VS DAUGHTER: CHANEL & PAULINA COLLIDE

Chanel Dera is devastated by Johnny’s arrest. Her first stop? City Hall.

She storms in, demanding her mother, Mayor Paulina Price, intervene. But Paulina, caught between justice and her daughter, is powerless. “The police have evidence,” she says through tears. “I have to let the process play out.”

But Chanel’s fury is volcanic. “You’re supposed to PROTECT US!” she cries.

A once-healing marriage and a mother-daughter bond now hang by THREADS. 💔

🛲 A MARRIAGE IN FREEFALL

Chanel and Johnny were JUST finding their way back to each other. But now?

Chanel paces their apartment, tormented by doubt. She clutches a photo from their wedding day. “He couldn’t have done this…” she whispers.

But the whispers in Salem are LOUD. At the Brady Pub, people gossip: Is Johnny’s Dera blood too dangerous to ignore?

🛋️ THROUGH THE GLASS

In a gut-wrenching visit to the station, Chanel and Johnny meet through a glass partition. He’s hollow, his voice raw.

“I didn’t do it, Chanel. You believe me, don’t you?”

“I believe you,” she replies, but her voice is fragile. Their love is trembling on the edge of collapse.

⚖️ THE TOWN TAKES SIDES

Across Salem, battle lines are being drawn. Marina Evans, a voice of compassion, confides to Roman Brady: “This arrest could BREAK Johnny.”

Roman slams the table. “This is a witch hunt!”

And he’s not alone. Half the town is rallying behind Johnny. The other half wants justice for EJ – even if it means tearing the Deras apart.

Salem is in CHAOS. 🌪️

🧹 EJ TAKES CHARGE – HUNT FOR THE REAL SHOOTER BEGINS

EJ knows something isn’t right. Despite his fractured memory, he begins to investigate.

Security footage. Witnesses. Dera family connections. Nothing is off the table.

With the help of his brother Stefan, EJ starts piecing together a new, horrifying theory:

Someone wanted EJ DEAD. And they’re framing Johnny to get away with it. 🤯

❗ THE CONSPIRACY WIDENS

Could EJ’s hospital board win have made him a target?

Enemies of the Dera empire are everywhere. Business rivals. Bitter family members. Vengeful ghosts from the past.

EJ remembers flashes: a voice in the dark, a shadow with a gun…

🚨 MONDAY’S CLIFFHANGER – THE TRUTH IS COMING

As the credits roll on Monday’s episode, the pieces are falling into place. But the big question remains:

WHO SHOT EJ?!

Johnny’s future, Chanel’s love, Paulina’s leadership, and the very foundation of Salem all hinge on the answer.

And when it comes…

😱 It will SHAKE SALEM TO ITS CORE.

Stay tuned, soap fans. Monday’s episode is a powder keg of drama, emotion, and revelations. And trust us — the truth will hit harder than any bullet.
