From June 30 to July 4, 2025, “Days of Our Lives” plunges Salem into a whirlwind of emotional meltdowns, scandalous secrets, and gut-wrenching decisions that will leave viewers reeling. Just when you thought summer in Salem might be heating up with love and laughter, it turns into a storm of attempted murder, abandoned babies, and shocking confessions that shake the core of the DeMera legacy!

Let’s break down this unmissable week that promises to change EVERYTHING!

🚓 JOHNNY DEMERA CUFFED IN BROAD DAYLIGHT! CHANEL’S WORLD CRUMBLES 😭

A regular afternoon in Salem’s Town Square turns into total pandemonium as Chanel Dupree DeMera watches in horror while her husband Johnny is ARRESTED for attempted murder!

Detective Jada Hunter swoops in, slapping the cuffs on Johnny without hesitation. And he doesn’t resist. Instead, he walks away in silence, as if he knew this moment was coming.

And just like that, the future Chanel and Johnny were dreaming of… shatters.

Cue Chanel’s heartbreak. Her fury. Her mistrust of EJ DeMera, Johnny’s father, grows louder than ever.

“Johnny made a deal with the devil!” she roars. Is EJ really helping… or pulling the strings behind the scenes?

🔍 EJ DEMERA: SAVIOR OR SINNER? 😓

With Johnny facing serious charges, EJ steps in with his usual swagger, vowing to free his son. He moves fast, securing Johnny’s bail and bringing him back to the mansion. But Johnny’s not sure if he just jumped from one trap to another.

“You’re not going to do anything crazy, are you?” Johnny asks his father.

Let’s be real—this is EJ we’re talking about. The man ALWAYS has something up his sleeve. And this week, we see EJ playing the long game.

But can anyone trust him?

📲 BELLE BLACK’S MYSTERY PACKAGE — THE MEMORY CARD THAT COULD END IT ALL 🚨

Just when things couldn’t get more explosive… Belle Black receives a mysterious box.

Inside? A memory card.

Could THIS be the smoking gun that reveals who really shot EJ? Could it clear Johnny’s name—or destroy it for good?

Belle is stuck in an impossible position. She’s not just a lawyer—she’s family. But what she discovers on that card could reshape the future of the DeMera dynasty.

🍼 SOPHIA’S DEVASTATING SECRET: A BABY LEFT BEHIND 💔

Over on the other side of Salem, Sophia Choi gives birth ALONE in her bedroom. In a scene guaranteed to break your heart, she tearfully whispers to her newborn, “Mommy can’t let anyone see you, okay?”

In a stunning turn, Sophia leaves her baby at a local fire station under the cover of darkness. Her decision is desperate, emotional… and full of consequences.

But that’s not the end.

Javi Hernandez finds the baby and takes the child to Leo Stark. What could THIS mean for Leo? Could he step into unexpected fatherhood? Or is this part of an even BIGGER secret?

📚 STEPHANIE’S SECRET IDENTITY REVEALED?!

Stephanie Johnson is caught in a literary storm as her secret authorship of “One Stormy Night”— a steamy hospital romance novel—is nearly EXPOSED by none other than Kate Roberts!

When Kate makes a passing comment wondering if Stephanie wrote the book, Alex Kiriakis jumps in to protect his girlfriend, saying she merely read it.

But Kate isn’t buying it. And we all know that secrets in Salem? NEVER stay buried.

This lie could unravel Stephanie’s career, her romance, AND her friendships. Tick, tock…

🌧️ A CONFESSION IN THE PARK — WAS JOHNNY THERE THE NIGHT EJ WAS SHOT?! 🚩

In one of the week’s most powerful moments, Johnny sits down with Police Commissioner Rafe Hernandez in a peaceful corner of Salem’s town park.

Rafe gently prods him: “Were you arguing with EJ the night he was shot?”

Johnny’s voice cracks as he CONFESSES: “Yeah… I was there.”

BOOM! This single line shakes everything. Johnny admits he was at the scene, but insists he didn’t pull the trigger. He tries to shift suspicion, claiming someone else had to be there.

But who?

Is this the opening Rafe needs to prove Johnny’s innocence? Or the beginning of a deeper descent?

🚫 TRUTH, LIES, AND LEGACY — WILL JOHNNY TRUST THE RIGHT PERSON?

Rafe wants to help. He says, “I’m not here to trap you. I want to help you. I believe you didn’t shoot EJ.”

But Johnny, bruised by betrayal, snaps back: “Are you a cop or an FBI agent today?”

OUCH.

The trust between them is fragile. But Rafe lays it all out. He NEEDS Johnny to cooperate to clear his name and find the REAL shooter.

Johnny slumps, defeated. The pain is visible. The DeMera name, the secrets, the legacy—it’s a crushing weight.

And yet, this park bench conversation could be the start of a breakthrough. Or a trap.

🕵️‍♀️ WHO REALLY SHOT EJ? AND WHAT’S ON THAT MEMORY CARD?

Let’s not forget—Belle’s memory card may hold the answers. The question is: will she share it before it’s too late?

And now, all eyes turn to that night… Who else was near the scene? Who might be hiding the ultimate truth?

Could it be someone from within the DeMera family?

Could Chanel be in danger?

And is someone trying to frame Johnny to cover up their OWN crime?
