Johnny Slips Up and Lands in Handcuffs
Johnny was minding his own stressed-out business in the park when Rafe strolled in with that calm-but-pushy cop energy. After swearing he didn’t shoot EJ, Johnny fessed up to being there the night of the attack and admitted they had an argument. Oops. Rafe promised to keep it off the record — but when has that ever actually happened in Salem?
Later, father and son finally had it out. EJ confronted Johnny, who nearly burst into tears thinking his dad believed he’d pulled the trigger. Turns out, EJ thought he was covering for Johnny the whole time. Hugs, tears, heartfelt confessions... until reality hit. If Johnny didn’t shoot him, who did?
Jada didn’t care about their father-son bonding. She waltzed in with a badge and a backup officer and slapped cuffs on Johnny for attempted murder. So much for keeping it quiet.
Philip Shuts Xander All the Way Down
Xander rolled up with a weak bouquet and a guilty conscience, but Philip was not in the mood. He reminded Xander of the whole “smothering me in a hospital bed” moment, which is apparently hard to forgive. Shocking, right? Xander tried to say he chickened out, but Philip wasn’t about to let bygones be bygones just yet.
Kayla walked in mid-threatening-session, which saved Xander from another round of verbal slaps. Once she left, Philip made it crystal clear. If Titan tanks, he’ll have no reason not to expose Xander’s little murder attempt to the world. So Xander better fix the mess he helped create, fast. They might pretend to be a united front for now, but one wrong move and Philip will blow the whistle so loud, Salem will hear it from across state lines.
Stephanie's Novel Gets the Green Light
Over at Chez Stephanie, she was trying to keep her manuscript under wraps, but Jada was not having it. One flirty tease later and Jada had the whole steamy romance novel in her hands, grilling Stephanie on which parts were real and which were fiction. Talk about invasive curiosity, but Stephanie didn't exactly slam the brakes.
Alex came home with food and more publishing pressure. He was determined to make “One Stormy Night” the next big Titan release. Stephanie eventually caved — but only under the condition she publishes under a fake name. No one can ever know it’s hers. Alex promised, and they toasted to secret success. What could possibly go wrong?
Cat's Assignment Heats Up
Cat was just trying to have a normal dinner date with Chad — who, by the way, brought flowers for her daughter like the total sweetheart he is — when Shane called in with marching orders. She lied her way out of dinner and dashed to meet her contact in the park, only to find Rafe waiting for her instead. Surprise, he’s her new partner.
Cat wasn’t thrilled, but Rafe promised her a front-row seat to EJ’s downfall. If she had any doubts about whether a crime even happened, Rafe was happy to spell it out for her. The man’s got a vendetta, and now Cat’s along for the ride.
Meanwhile, Chad found a bottle of mustard in the fridge and got all nostalgic over Cat spilling hot dogs on him. Cute, but he has no idea she’s moonlighting as a secret agent. Typical Salem relationship problems.
EJ Plays Hardball and Still Comes Out on Top
While all this was going on, EJ was out there playing political chess at the hospital. He tried to push Kayla for her board vote with some legal threats, but she clapped right back with budget demands and called it an election. He even had to sweet-talk other board members on the phone, all while dodging his own son's meltdown.
In the end, despite Xander’s desperate hopes, the board voted to keep EJ in power. Kayla dropped the news like it was nothing, and EJ got his confirmation call from Rita shortly after. He and Johnny were just starting to breathe again when Jada burst in and turned their victory into chaos with that arrest warrant.
Only in Salem could a family reunion end in handcuffs and a romance novel launch require an alias. Soap Opera Reviews delivers daily spoilers and recaps so you never miss a thing. We live for the drama!
