Salem is about to be rocked by one of its most gripping and suspenseful twists yet! The latest Days of Our Lives storyline takes a shocking turn as a memory-erasing potion becomes the key to an intense battle between EJ and Rafe. With secrets unraveling and lives at stake, fans are left wondering who will ultimately lose their memories—and the consequences that follow.
The drama begins when Kristen DiMera approaches EJ with a game-changing revelation. She presents him with a vial of CRS-117, a potent drug developed by the infamous Dr. Rolf. Kristen insists that this memory-wiping potion is the perfect solution to their current predicament. The plan? Administer the drug to both Rafe and Ava, erasing all recollection of their traumatic kidnappings. This way, Kristen and EJ can escape the repercussions of their crimes without a trace of suspicion.
Longtime Days viewers may recall a similar potion used by Megan Hathaway in the past to erase Rafe and Ava’s memories. However, despite its initial success, Marina’s hypnosis eventually restored the lost memories, revealing the ugly truth behind their abductions. Kristen is adamant that this version of the drug, now enhanced, is far more powerful and foolproof than before. If her plan works, Rafe and Ava will forget everything—including who was responsible for their ordeal—allowing EJ and Kristen to walk away scot-free.
While Kristen is confident in their strategy, EJ remains cautious. He points out that even if the drug works, Rafe and Ava still know Megan was behind their kidnapping. Kristen, undeterred, argues that this stronger formula will eliminate every trace of those memories, making sure there’s no way back. She insists this is their best—and only—option, daring EJ to come up with a better alternative. With no other viable solution, EJ reluctantly agrees, but he refuses to resort to Kristen’s more extreme methods of permanently silencing their enemies.
As tension mounts, the moment of truth arrives. EJ finds Rafe bound and gagged in the attic, his fate hanging by a thread. Holding the syringe filled with the mind-wiping drug, EJ approaches his captive. Rafe, struggling against his restraints, demands to know what’s happening. With chilling calmness, EJ reveals that the potion will erase every memory of his kidnapping and everything leading up to it. Realizing the gravity of the situation, Rafe panics and pleads for his life, desperately trying to break free. The air is thick with suspense as EJ prepares to inject the serum. 
But then, the unthinkable happens. Just as EJ is about to administer the drug, Rafe musters every ounce of his strength and breaks free, launching himself at EJ in a desperate fight for survival. The two men wrestle fiercely, each trying to gain control of the syringe. It’s a battle of raw strength and willpower—one fighting for his memories, the other for his escape from justice.
The chaos reaches its peak when Kristen bursts into the room, screaming for EJ to stop. Her sudden arrival momentarily halts the struggle, but in the split second of distraction, the unthinkable happens—the syringe plunges into EJ instead! Shock washes over the room as the powerful drug courses through EJ’s system. His expression shifts from determination to confusion, then panic, as his memories begin to slip away. Rafe watches in stunned silence, realizing the tables have turned in a way no one saw coming.
Now, with EJ’s memories erased, Salem is left wondering—what happens next? EJ, once a master manipulator and power player, now faces an uncertain future. Without his memories, he loses everything—his control, his alliances, and even his sense of identity. Will he be able to reclaim his former life, or is this the start of a brand-new EJ DiMera? And what about Kristen? Will she use this unexpected twist to her advantage, or has she just lost her strongest ally?
One thing is certain—this shocking development will send ripples through Salem, reshaping relationships, alliances, and rivalries. How will EJ navigate a world he no longer remembers? Will Rafe seize the opportunity to turn the tables on his longtime foe? And most importantly, can EJ ever regain what he’s lost?
