Johnny Gets Cuffed, and EJ Loses It
Jada rolled up to the town square like a boss and arrested Johnny in front of everyone. EJ instantly went full DiMera, threatening hellfire on anyone who dared touch his “innocent” son. Chanel came running out of the bakery demanding answers, and Johnny tried to explain, but Daddy DiMera shut that down fast. EJ insisted he suddenly remembered that Johnny gave him the gun. Jada, completely unbothered, told him to get a good lawyer, because she’s not playing games.
Rafe and Gabi were back home trying to keep up with the chaos. Gabi grilled Rafe, panicking about what this meant for her. After all, she was at the DiMera mansion that night. Rafe was sure Johnny didn’t do it, but then his phone rang and he had to run out. Gabi freaked and called Will, then told Ari to say a prayer for Uncle Johnny. Ari’s real concern? How her dad’s gonna react. But at least she got her high school diploma in the mail, so silver linings, right?
Paulina Pulls the Strings and Chanel Isn’t Having It
At the station, Belle laid into Paulina for skipping the whole “questioning” part and going straight for an arrest. Paulina stood firm, insisting there couldn’t be any hint of special treatment. She didn’t love how Johnny reacted when EJ was shot and didn’t trust the kid. Belle tried defending him, but Paulina shut that down by yanking her off the case.
Meanwhile, Johnny was marched into the station like a Salem criminal, as EJ burst in declaring himself Johnny’s lawyer. Chanel ran in to support her man, only to find out it was her own mother who gave the greenlight to drag him in. Chanel absolutely unleashed, telling Paulina she couldn’t even look at her before storming out in disgust.
Rafe arrived just in time to go toe-to-toe with Jada, throwing shade about her motives and her promotion. She fired right back, telling him to buzz off so she could do her job. Paulina walked in, asking if there was any chance Johnny might be innocent. Jada wasn’t sold — Johnny had motive, means, and opportunity. Case closed, at least for now.
Roman Turns In the Smoking Gun
Marlena showed up at the pub trying to act like she was there for chowder, but Roman saw right through it. He confessed Carrie thought Johnny should turn himself in, and Marlena reminded him of Gabi’s involvement. Then Belle texted with the news that Johnny was already in custody. Marlena was ready to sprint to the station, but Roman warned her it’d take time before they’d see him.
As they waited, Marlena brought up the obvious — Roman still had the gun that might have been used. Roman shrugged and said it was time. Later, he handed the weapon over to Jada and Paulina, finally making a move that could shift everything.
Johnny’s Breaking Down, Chanel’s Not Backing Down
Johnny got booked, fingerprinted, and photographed like a pro. Chanel wasn’t allowed to speak with him until Paulina caved and gave the okay. In the interrogation room, Johnny admitted the truth — he didn’t shoot EJ, but he lied because of guilt and shame. Chanel was clearly devastated, especially since it was her own mom who put this whole thing in motion.
Back at Gabi’s, she and Ari were scrolling through graduation photos when Ari asked to check on Roman at the pub. Rafe came in to confirm Gabi’s worst fear — there will likely be a trial and she’ll have to testify. Gabi’s face said it all. If she ends up on that witness stand, she better brace herself for EJ’s fury.
Marlena ran into Belle and got the lowdown. Johnny was a mess, Belle was off the case, and Paulina wasn’t budging. And Johnny? He was locked in a cell, haunted by his words and actions, stewing alone with nothing but regrets and a hard prison bed.
