Monday’s episode of Days of Our Lives is set to be a firestorm of betrayal, emotional landmines, and dangerous secrets that could shake the entire town of Salem. Trust is crumbling, secrets are piling up, and several characters find themselves on the brink of personal and professional disaster.

First up, JJ Deveraux is on edge and chasing shadows that might be closer to the truth than anyone’s ready to admit. After experiencing a vivid flashback of Gabby Hernandez almost pulling a gun on EJ DiMera, JJ is rattled. With another shooting in Salem stirring tensions, he can’t ignore the nagging suspicion that Gabby might be tied to the chaos once again. Gabby insists she only found out about the shooting through Leo Stark, but JJ isn’t buying it—especially after she stumbles over her timeline and fails to offer a solid alibi.

The tension between JJ and Gabby escalates quickly as he digs deeper. Her evasiveness isn’t helping her case, and JJ starts to wonder whether Gabby is hiding something much more sinister. Is she telling the truth, or is she once again wrapped up in something violent? One thing’s for sure: JJ won’t rest until he gets answers. But his pursuit of the truth could come at a cost. Confronting Gabby might not only shatter what little trust remains between them—it could also lead to explosive consequences if his instincts are spot-on.

Meanwhile, Rafe Hernandez is caught in a dangerous moral gray area. Viewers will remember that he planted a recording device in the DiMera mansion—an extremely risky move. Now, he’s removed it, choosing silence over transparency. Why? What did he hear that made him pull the plug? Whether it’s to protect someone else or himself, one thing is clear—Rafe doesn’t plan to turn this evidence over to the police. Instead, he’s hiding it, and that decision could haunt him. If it comes to light, not only could it destroy his reputation—it might land him in serious legal trouble.
