Things are getting intense in Salem once again, and this time, all eyes are on Cat Green—a woman trying to bury her past while a storm brews around her. In this week’s full episode of Days of Our Lives, a dramatic confrontation unfolds as Cat crosses paths with Sami Brady, and the fallout promises to shake everything.

But before the clash, let’s rewind to what led Cat to this pivotal moment.

A Mysterious Job Offer and a Haunting Past

After her controversial impersonation of Abigail DiMera, Cat has been lying low, attempting to rebuild the remnants of her life. Though she was manipulated by Clyde Weston, many in Salem—including Cat herself—can’t forgive what she did. Her deception, though orchestrated by a criminal, caused deep emotional wounds, especially to Chad DiMera, who was fooled into believing she was his wife.

Cat’s stunning performance didn’t go unnoticed—particularly by Shane Donovan, who seems to see potential in her skills for something far more official.

Over the past few weeks, Cat has been hounded by strange phone calls from a blocked number. No voicemails, just silence and vague, cryptic phrases. At first, she dismissed them as a prank, but something about the persistence unsettled her. The breaking point came when she picked up and heard a chilling, direct statement: “You’re wasting your potential.”

The words echoed in her mind, and deep down, Cat knew who it might be. After all, Shane Donovan, Director of the ISA (International Security Agency), had briefly crossed paths with her at John Black’s funeral. When she passed him at the church, she addressed him curtly—”Director”—with a tone filled with disdain. It wasn’t just a casual dig. It hinted at a history. One the audience hasn’t been fully told.

Beneath the Surface: Shane’s Real Agenda

That cold funeral encounter wasn’t by chance. Shane had been trying to reach Cat for weeks. And now, he’s making it clear: he wants her for a covert ISA mission.

But Cat isn’t so quick to jump back into a world of deception. She’s still haunted by her previous assignment. She didn’t just wear Abigail’s face—she became her. The voice, the mannerisms, the vulnerability. It blurred the lines between performance and identity. And it nearly destroyed her.

When Shane shows up at her door, she slams it in his face—figuratively and nearly literally.

“I said no,” she snaps.
“You don’t even know what the job is,” Shane replies.
“I’m not your puppet. And I’m not Abigail DiMera,” she fires back.

But Shane, as always, doesn’t give up easily.

“What you did with Clyde—yes, it was wrong. But the performance? It was unmatched. We need someone like you.”

Eventually, her curiosity gets the better of her. She agrees to a meeting—just to hear him out.

A New Identity and an Impossible Mission

Cat is taken to a secure location outside of Salem where she learns the truth: Shane wants her to go undercover once again. The target? A rogue diplomat operating in South America who’s been selling classified international intel. The only way to get close to him is through his daughter—a woman so reclusive, she hasn’t been seen in public for over a year.

“You want me to impersonate someone again?” Cat asks, stunned.

“Not just someone,” Shane says. “A ghost. Her own government isn’t even sure she’s alive.”

Cat knows the stakes. If she says no, she goes back to being a woman haunted by guilt. If she says yes, she dives headfirst into another deception that could cost her what little peace she’s built.

But Shane isn’t wrong. Cat is good at this. Too good.

Secrets Revealed: The ISA File

During her training, Cat stumbles across a sealed ISA report—about herself. It alleges that she had been on the ISA’s radar long before Clyde Weston ever found her. The file suggests that her recruitment into the Abigail plot wasn’t entirely random. Clyde may have known about her from connections in the intelligence underworld, where Cat had allegedly done work under another name.

The revelation sends Cat into a spiral. Has she always been a pawn? Has she always been an agent in waiting? Is this who she really is—or just another version of the mask she wears?

These questions are interrupted by an unexpected development.

The Clash: Cat vs. Sami

Back in Salem, word gets out that Cat has returned—temporarily, at least. And when Sami Brady learns of her presence, she wastes no time confronting the woman who wreaked havoc on her family and friends.

The two meet in a tense, fiery confrontation at the Brady Pub. The tension is palpable from the moment Sami walks in.

“You’ve got some nerve showing your face in this town,” Sami growls.

Cat doesn’t flinch. “I’m not here to apologize to you.”

“Oh, don’t worry,” Sami snaps. “You’re not capable of that.”

The argument escalates quickly. Sami accuses Cat of manipulating Chad, destroying Abigail’s legacy, and humiliating the entire DiMera family. But Cat isn’t backing down anymore.

“I didn’t choose to become Abigail,” Cat says, voice steady. “But I made her real. I lived her life. And I did it better than anyone ever expected.”

“Is that supposed to make it okay?” Sami demands. “You tore people apart!”

“And maybe I can put something back together,” Cat replies cryptically.

Sami narrows her eyes. “What are you planning?”

Cat just smiles. “Let’s just say…I’m not wasting my potential anymore.”

Final Moments: A Dangerous Path Ahead

As the episode closes, Cat receives a message on a secure ISA device. The mission is a go. She leaves Salem again, but not before casting one last glance back at the life she once knew.

Meanwhile, Sami watches her leave with growing suspicion. She knows trouble when she sees it—and Cat Green is trouble.

But what Sami doesn’t know is that Cat’s role in the ISA might just put her in the position to protect Salem from an even bigger threat. The question is… at what cost?
