Days of Our Lives TWIST: EJ Embraces His Dark Side – Will Cat Be His Heartless Partner?

Days of Our Lives reveals EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) is inheriting patriarchy when he slips Stefano DiMera’s (Joseph Mascolo) Phoenix ring on his finger. We saw a big twist where EJ goes black and claims his own “Queen of the Night,” who might be Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord).

EJ hasn’t been doing well lately. He lost Belle Black (Martha Madison) and Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman). And now his father, Stefano, is dead. This news may push EJ into a very dark place. Let’s dive in and talk about Kati and EJ’s possible future.

EJ DiMera in a Bad Place on Days of Our Lives

The transition from late 2025 to early 2026 has been difficult for EJ, mainly because of his actions and decisions. Peter Blake (Jason Brooks), who was conspiring with Vivian Alamain (Louise Sorel), has just been kidnapped, although Dimitri von Leuschner DiMera (Peter Porte) is starting to fall.

In addition, Johnny has rejected his father again. And Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) clashes with EJ. Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) has been reckless, putting the secret lab’s finances at risk with her plan involving DVL. While EJ is eager to wake up the “woman in the gut,” Gwen’s meddling is a growing problem.

To make matters worse, EJ is still reeling from the confirmation that the bones in the crypt were indeed Stefano’s remains. Neither Belle nor Sami Brady (Alison Sweeney) will give EJ a second chance. And his daughter, Sydney DiMera (Avery and Cade Seger), is away in Italy.

EJ DiMera Acquires Iconic Phoenix Ring and Stefano’s Dark Legacy on DOOL

We’re about to see a stripped down EJ, going back to his badass roots. He may drag Kat along with him, whether he is a willing participant or not. The change begins this week as EJ, Tony DiMera (Thaao Penghlis), Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn), Theo, and Kristen return to the crypt to gather Stefano’s ashes and lay him to rest.

This is a stressful time for the family, as it shows for the first time that EJ and Tony have returned to the crypt since Peter tried to kill them all with sarin gas. Each of Stefano’s children and grandchildren mourns in their own way, but EJ is deeply moved by Dr.’s revelation. Wilhelm Rolf (Richard Wharton).

Currently, the position of head of the DiMera family is up for grabs. Even though EJ is not an adult, Tony has made it clear that he wants nothing to do with him The DiMera Company. After taking the company back to the Kiriakises, Tony left town with his lover Anna DiMera (Leann Hunley), leaving the business in Theo’s hands.

Johnny is currently acting as interim CEO while Theo is recovering from Peter’s head injury. Although EJ and Rita convince Johnny to step in, that arrangement soon ends. Johnny promised his wife, Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens), that he would help until Theo recovered before returning to work at Titan.

EJ has also been fighting with Kristen, who blames her for the incident where Rachel Black (Alice Halsey) shot him, leading to the baby being sent away. The Bayview. When Dr. As Rolf approaches EJ after meeting Stefano’s remains, EJ is at his lowest point.

After the others leave, Rolf reveals that Stefano gave him one last job: to personally deliver the Phoenix ring to EJ. This act confirms that Stefano has anointed EJ as his heir and the new head of the family. This message could be a sign that EJ needs to fully embrace his dark side again.

Days of Our Lives spoilers show that Gwen notices a change in EJ immediately after slipping the ring on his finger. This raises the question: where does Cat Greene fit into his new world plan? The cat previously wanted Chad. However, in order to keep custody of his children, Chad had to give Jack Deveraux (Matthew Ashford) and Jennifer Horton (Melissa Reeves) visitation rights over the summer.

In order to appease Thomas DiMera (Christopher Cary), Chad has inserted a “no Cat” clause into his custody plan. After talking with Tony, Chad decides to move Thomas and Charlotte DiMera (Olivia & Oakley Rondou) to Arizona temporarily.

New Obsession: Valentine’s Day by EJ DiMera and Cat Greene on Days of Our Lives

With Chad out of the picture, EJ asks the cat over for dinner just as Valentine’s Day arrives in Salem. EJ and Cat had a close moment, though it was after she drugged him to cover up his suspicious actions.

Susan Banks (Stacy Haiduk) caught them together and made it clear that she didn’t want Kati around her “baby boy”. Susan has serious reservations and believes the cat is onto something. Despite these warnings, EJ and Cat are set to share a kiss soon, which could signal the start of a new obsession for EJ.

EJ has a strong maintenance history. When he was prepared for Sami, he put her in his bed to save the life of Lucas Horton (Bryan Dattilo) – an event that serves as Johnny’s story. He even kidnapped his own daughter, Sydney, to torture Sami.

When he took his concerns to Nicole Walker (Arianne Zucker), his behavior remained subtle. He was involved in the mysteries surrounding baby Jude, lying to Nicole about being the baby’s father to keep her away from Eric Brady (Greg Vaughan). Like Stefano, EJ gets fixated on one woman after another, doing extreme things to keep her in his life at any cost.

EJ & Cat the New Stefano & Marlena on DOOL?

Stefano’s longtime obsession was making Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) the “Queen of the Night.” Now that EJ is stepping into his father’s shoes, will a new obsession follow? The cat may be who EJ decides should be his Queen of the Night. He learns that Kati is working for the ISA as part of a multi-agency investigation. He works as his assistant as part of a conspiracy with Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering). The cat was peeking into the DiMera mansion while getting EJ drunk. He even tried to get into the secret lab by tricking his brother, Mark Greene (Jonah Robinson).

When EJ asks Cat to dinner, she doesn’t know he means her—and she may not even realize he’s about to target her. As Chad leaves town, the cat may be in danger, leading to sparks and kisses to come. While the writers previously abandoned the “Queen of the Night” storyline by giving Marlena Lyme disease, the concept could see a revival with EJ.

The cat may be playing with fire. If EJ discovers her betrayal, he may feel justified in bending her to his will, just like Stefano did with Marlena. They have already shared a bond since he was a student Accommodations in Wuthering Heights to Italy. EJ can use that book as a mind control tool, similar to Stefano’s use The Arabian Nights. Even if he finds out that she is betraying him, it may increase his adjustment. It will be interesting to see if the cat ends up on her head, becoming the new Queen of the night.
