The storm looming over Salem isn’t over yet—if anything, it’s just getting started. Next week, a major turning point hits the DiMera family, and it might just unleash chaos that no one is prepared for. EJ DiMera, who has been in a coma for weeks after being mysteriously shot, finally opens his eyes—but that doesn’t mean the truth comes pouring out. In fact, his silence could make things even more dangerous for everyone involved.

For what feels like an eternity, EJ has been unresponsive in his hospital bed, leaving Salem in suspense. With so many questions swirling—who shot him, what exactly happened, and why—his awakening is one of the most highly anticipated moments in recent memory. But this is Days of Our Lives, and if viewers have learned anything, it’s that nothing ever happens without layers of drama and complications.

The turning point comes with the return of one of Salem’s most eccentric and intuitive characters—Susan Banks. Her unexpected arrival adds another layer to the suspense. As Susan steps into EJ’s hospital room, she brings with her a rush of maternal energy and desperation. With quiet words and tearful pleas, she reaches out to her son—and in that fragile moment, something shifts.

Suddenly, EJ stirs. Monitors beep faster, and nurses rush to his side. Susan watches with bated breath as her son finally wakes up. The long wait is over. But instead of immediate answers and a flood of confessions, EJ offers something much more unsettling—silence.

Relief quickly turns to confusion. Everyone wants to know: What does EJ remember? And more importantly, why isn’t he saying anything?

Authorities have been waiting for this moment. Police are stationed nearby, ready to hear EJ’s account and finally move forward with the investigation. Detectives and officers hope that EJ’s first words will blow the case wide open. But they’re met with vague responses and noncommittal glances. Rumors begin to circulate—what if EJ remembers everything, including the face of the person who pulled the trigger?

Insiders close to the DiMeras hint that EJ’s memory might be crystal clear. He may recall every sound, every detail, and even who stood over him with the gun in hand. But instead of exposing the culprit, he might be choosing silence—for a reason that’s as painful as it is shocking.

Whispers around Salem point to one chilling name: Rachel Blake, EJ’s own niece. The possibility that a family member could be behind the attempt on his life is something EJ may be struggling to accept. And if he does remember Rachel as the shooter, he now faces an unthinkable decision—turn her in and destroy their family forever, or lie to protect her and carry the burden of a terrible secret.

Would EJ really go as far as to fake memory loss to shield someone he loves? It’s entirely possible. This is a man who understands power, loyalty, and strategy—and if he believes silence is the only way to hold his family together, he’ll do it, even if it costs him dearly.

Of course, Salem is not a town where secrets stay buried. The longer EJ remains quiet, the more suspicion builds. Susan, with her psychic tendencies and deep emotional intuition, may start to see signs that her son is hiding something. Her instincts have rarely failed her before. If she starts asking questions—and if EJ can’t maintain his composure—the truth could unravel faster than anyone expects.

Then there’s the looming threat that the shooter may strike again. If Rachel is truly the one responsible, there’s no telling what she might do next, especially if she thinks EJ might turn on her.

The stakes couldn’t be higher. EJ is caught in a web of secrets, loyalty, and personal sacrifice. Every moment he stays silent, the tension grows—and so does the danger. Guilt might eventually eat away at him, and the pressure from both the police and his family could lead to an explosive confession. But if the truth comes out, it might destroy more than just Rachel’s future—it could obliterate what’s left of the DiMera legacy.

So what’s next for EJ? Will he keep protecting Rachel, even at the cost of his own peace of mind? Will the truth slip out in a moment of weakness? Or will Susan, with her sixth sense, uncover what EJ refuses to say?

One thing is certain: now that EJ has woken up, the real drama is just beginning.
