💥 EJ wakes with no memory, Xander uncovers a shocking secret, and Kristen turns fury into flirtation — Salem’s chaos hits a fever pitch on Days of Our Lives! 👀🔥

Salem was a whirlwind of emotion, secrets, and drama on the April 25th episode of Days of our Lives. From unexpected awakenings to intense confrontations and heartfelt moments, this was an episode fans won’t forget anytime soon. Let’s unpack everything that went down in this jam-packed installment.


1. EJ Wakes, But Not Without Complications

At University Hospital, dawn broke with a surprising turn of events. EJ DiMera, long trapped in a coma, finally stirred. Monitors beeped rhythmically as his eyes fluttered open to the sterile ceiling above. He was disoriented and gasping, a shell of the confident man he once was. By his side stood Kayla Brady, both his aunt and a seasoned medical professional. Her relief was palpable.

“EJ, it’s me. Aunt Kayla. Can you hear me?” she gently urged. But EJ’s panic was clear—he didn’t know where he was. Worse yet, he didn’t even recognize the situation he was in.

Soon after, JJ Deveraux burst in, rushing to the bedside with a mix of hope and dread. His relief at seeing EJ awake quickly turned to concern when he learned that EJ had no memory of being shot—or even much of anything else. Kayla solemnly confirmed it: EJ was suffering from retrograde amnesia.

For JJ, this wasn’t just a medical crisis—it was a personal one. He needed answers about who had targeted EJ, but those answers were now locked away in a fractured mind. With grim determination, JJ made a silent promise: he would uncover the truth, even if it meant digging deep into EJ’s forgotten past.


2. A Secret Meeting Exposed at the Warehouse

Elsewhere, at Dera Warehouse Storage, Xander Cook stumbled upon a secret that could upend multiple lives. While making his routine rounds, he overheard a hushed conversation between Sarah Horton and Phillip Kiriakis. What he witnessed wasn’t just a private moment—it was a damning one.

Sarah, visibly tense, spoke in urgent whispers about a series of forged letters that could spell disaster if exposed. Phillip, ever the nervous schemer, acknowledged that they were in over their heads. And then—Xander made his presence known.

“Forged letters?” His voice cut through the warehouse like a blade.

The color drained from Phillip’s face, while Sarah froze mid-sentence. Xander was furious—not just about the deception, but the fact that Sarah, his own niece, was involved. Sarah tried to reason with him, suggesting it had all been done for his sake, even invoking their mother to soften the blow. But Xander wasn’t budging.

Just then, Maggie Horton arrived, walking into the tension like a storm. She tried to play peacemaker, reminding Xander that everyone deserves second chances. But her words fell flat. Xander’s heart may have wavered, but his trust had been shattered. Without another word, he turned and walked away, leaving Sarah and Phillip to face the consequences of their lies.


3. Street Fair Sparks Drama, Passion, and a Splash of Chaos

Later that day, the annual Salem Street Fair brought life to the town square with music, food, and fun. But beneath the surface of this cheery fundraiser was a brewing storm.

3.1. Kristen vs. Xander – The Water Showdown

Kristen DiMera, dressed to stun, stalked through the fair with a mission. She spotted Xander near the dunk tank and made a beeline straight for him. Still smarting from their previous confrontation, Xander didn’t even have time to brace for her fury.

“You think you can judge Phillip? What about you, Xander?” she snapped—then flung a cup of water straight at him, soaking his shirt and stopping the crowd in their tracks.

The tension dissolved as laughter rang out and Xander, begrudgingly amused, stripped off the drenched shirt to a wave of cheers. Kristen smirked. “Better air dry, tough guy.” What could have been an explosive fight became the fair’s most unexpected entertainment.

3.2. Chad and Abigail’s Sweet Victory

Not far from the dunk tank, Chad and Abigail—fondly known as “Cat”—were basking in their successful fundraiser for Salem Hospital. Thanks to their efforts, the donations shattered previous records.

Under a banner reading “Save Our Salem Hospital,” the two shared a moment of quiet pride. And then something deeper stirred. In a quieter corner of the fair, Cat reached for Chad’s hand, and with a soft kiss, hinted at a new chapter. “I’d bid a million for another date with you,” she whispered. For the first time in a long while, Chad allowed himself to believe in love again.

3.3. Gabi’s Bold Bid and JJ’s Broken Heart

Meanwhile, on the mainstage auction block, Gabi Hernandez made a splash of her own. Bidding $15,000 for a charity date with Alex Kiriakis, she turned heads and raised eyebrows—especially JJ’s.

The move wasn’t just generous; it was strategic. Gabi’s competitive streak was in full force, and her eyes locked with JJ’s as if daring him to react. JJ, already overwhelmed by EJ’s situation, felt the sting. After the auction, he approached Gabi to talk, hoping to bridge the growing chasm between them.

But Gabi wasn’t in the mood for apologies. “Save it, JJ. I’ve got enough going on.” She walked away, and JJ could only watch, the ache in his heart growing heavier.


4. A Tender Visit and a Lingering Mystery

As night fell over Salem, Kristen returned to the hospital. Peeking into EJ’s room, she found him sitting up, looking far more aware than he had earlier.

“How are you feeling?” she asked softly.

EJ’s expression was thoughtful, tinged with confusion. “Different. Confused. Like there’s something I should remember, but I can’t.”

Kristen sat beside him, her voice gentler than before. “You were shot. It’s going to take time.”

He nodded, but his gaze held hers a little too long—almost like he sensed something was still lurking in the shadows of his mind. Something important. Something dangerous.


Final Thoughts

April 25th’s Days of our Lives episode delivered on every front—emotional awakenings, explosive confrontations, and even a splash of romance. But with memories lost, secrets unraveling, and love hanging in the balance, one thing’s for sure: Salem’s story is far from over. Stay tuned.
