Salem delivered another whirlwind of drama on Wednesday, November 13. EJ and JJ’s simmering feud reached a boiling point, culminating in a brawl. Gabi, never one to shy away from conflict, found herself at the center of this latest DiMera/Deveraux clash, inadvertently prompting JJ’s protective instincts. Their subsequent reconciliation offered a flicker of hope for fans of their complicated past.
Elsewhere, Johnny’s ill-fated birthday celebration continued to reverberate. Confiding in EJ (who, let’s be honest, isn’t exactly a paragon of virtue), Johnny admitted his infidelity. While EJ offered a modicum of support, the specter of Joy’s manipulation loomed large. With Chanel blissfully unaware, extending a dinner invitation to the very woman who orchestrated her husband’s betrayal, the ticking time bomb of truth seems poised to detonate.
Amid the relationship wreckage, Paulina continued her campaign to keep Jada as police commissioner, even with Rafe back in the picture. Her rationale, citing improved crime statistics and case closure rates, had a distinct ring of political maneuvering. One can only imagine the awkward office dynamics if Jada retains her position.
Other Salem storylines unfolded with the usual mix of intrigue and questionable decisions. EJ, seemingly incapable of accepting responsibility, spread the blame for his affair across Gabi and Abigail. JJ, meanwhile, continued to grapple with his anger towards EJ regarding Cat’s freedom. Amidst the chaos, Stephanie and Alex found a moment of connection during a photoshoot, offering a brief respite from the pervasive drama.
Days of Our Lives airs weekdays on Peacock.
