In the March 13 episode of Days of Our Lives, Rafe, Alex, Kayla, and Cat scrambled to find Stephanie in the hidden lab as the blueprints finally revealed what lay behind the building’s walls. Cat was supposed to keep EJ distracted during the search. Instead, she confronted him directly and asked the question everyone had been whispering: was he behind the kidnapping? EJ looked her straight in the eye and swore he wasn’t. Then he softened, telling her he considered her an employee, a friend, maybe even something more. Cat held his gaze for a moment…and kissed him.

Key Takeaways

• EJ denied involvement in Stephanie’s kidnapping.
• Cat kissed EJ despite investigating him for the ISA.
• Her connection to both the ISA and Rafe’s FBI investigation complicates things.
• The moment may affect multiple agencies if her objectivity slips.

What Happened on DAYS

The investigation finally identified its key lead today. Cat (AnnaLynne McCord) examined a scan of EJ’s (Dan Feuerriegel) lab, and Rafe (Galen Gering) compared it to the building’s blueprints. Something didn’t match. The lab was smaller than her initial LiDAR scan indicated. The kind of discrepancy that makes investigators lean forward and take notice.

That discovery led Cat straight to EJ. She asked him directly if he was responsible for Stephanie’s (Abigail Klein) kidnapping. He swore he wasn’t and said he considered her a friend.

More than a friend. The two stood there, staring at each other like people who really shouldn’t be locking eyes during an investigation. Then Cat surprisingly kissed him. Full stop.

Why It Matters

Cat isn’t just a curious Salem bystander. She’s working for the ISA, investigating EJ’s activities while pretending to be his assistant. That setup already required a delicate balance. Kissing the main subject of your investigation tends to throw that balance off a cliff.

It also complicates the broader network of people involved. Cat’s investigation overlaps with Rafe’s FBI work and Salem PD’s search for answers about Stephanie. If her judgment falters even slightly, the fallout won’t stay confined to one agency. Bureaucrats hate paperwork, and this could generate enough of it to make them uneasy.

The Fallout

There’s also the inconvenient fact that Cat and EJ already have a history. He learned she cared for him during his recovery in Italy. That memory adds an emotional charge to their connection that neither of them seems eager to ignore.

Now add this kiss to the mix: an ISA agent drawn to the man she’s investigating; a DiMera who has revealed his vulnerable side to her, something he rarely does; and a lab blueprint that hints to the investigators that something very strange is happening behind those walls.

If Cat thinks she can keep all that neatly separated, she’s about to learn something Salem residents find out sooner or lat
