What to expect on Days of our Lives

EJ is determined to save Johnny | Image: Peacock

EJ (Daniel Feuerriegel) is determined to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Johnny (Carson Boatman) did not shoot him that fateful night, but he also knows that it's going to be an uphill climb. First, he should not even be representing his own son, but in Salem law, that is somehow allowed to happen.

EJ wants Belle (Martha Madison) as the prosecutor because he thinks she can help, but first, he has to make sure she sees what really happened. Belle is shocked when she receives a manila envelope containing the missing memory stick Rafe (Galen Gering) has been searching for everywhere. Will she see that EJ got Johnny to hand him the gun, thus exonerating her nephew?

Belle goes to Paulina (Jackee Harry) and makes her a promise. Does she tell Paulina that she can trust her if she puts her back on Johnny's case? Belle knows it is a conflict of interest, but so is having a father represent his own son when the father is the victim of the crime.

Chanel (Raven Bowens) is also a mess after Johnny's arrest, but at least she has former mayor and former cop Abe (James Reynolds) there to offer some good advice. Will Abe's words be reassuring?

Alex's big idea

Alex (Robert Scott Wilson) is still determined to make sure that Titan publishes One Stormy Night, and he wants Kate (Lauren Koslow) to edit the book now that she is back with the company. Stephanie (Abigail Klein) is still hesitant for anyone to see her name associated with such a book, but Alex is willing to let her use a pen name.

However, Kate begins to suspect that Stephanie is the author and asks her straight out if that is true. Stephanie looks like a deer caught in the headlights and doesn't know quite how to answer at first. Will Alex cover for his girlfriend or will Stephanie decide to fess up and beg Kate to keep her secret?

The one thing Stephanie does not want is for her parents to know she wrote such a thing. Stephanie has no idea that her parents have been enjoying her book...a lot.
