EJ’s Hypnosis: A Fragmented Flash of Truth

The episode opened in EJ DiMera’s townhouse, where he sat tensely across from Dr. Marina Evans, preparing to undergo hypnosis in a desperate attempt to remember the person who shot him. Belle Black, acting as emotional support, remained close by. With the room dimly lit and the air heavy with apprehension, Marina guided EJ into a trance.

As EJ slipped back into the night of the shooting, fragmented memories surfaced. Gunfire. A dark alley. A flash of metal. A piece of jewelry glinting under streetlight. His body jerked in real time as he relived the moment—but frustratingly, the assailant’s face remained obscured. EJ emerged from the session haunted and furious. Though he had glimpsed a possible clue—a ring or bracelet—it wasn’t enough. The shooter’s identity remained a blur.

EJ stormed out, driven by renewed obsession. Belle and Marina were left behind, visibly shaken. Belle’s words lingered: “He won’t stop until he finds out who did this.”

Johnny’s Trial and Chanel’s Crumbling Resolve

Over at the courthouse, the atmosphere was electric with tension. Johnny DiMera’s trial was in full swing, with the prosecution casting him as reckless and dangerous. Paulina Price and Abe Carver were seated in the gallery, steadfast in their support of Johnny. But Paulina’s deeper concern was for Chanel DuPree—Johnny’s wife—whose emotional state was teetering on the edge.

Chanel sat a few rows back, her eyes darting between the bench and her husband. The stress of the trial—and what it might expose—was placing unbearable strain on their marriage. Paulina whispered to Abe, “If this goes south, Chanel’s heart won’t survive it.”

But before the judge could move the proceedings forward, an unexpected and terrifying event rocked the courtroom…

Marina’s Collapse Stuns Salem

Marina Evans, already emotionally and physically depleted following her husband John’s death, entered the courtroom to support Johnny. Pale, unsteady, and visibly unwell, she attempted to speak before the judge. But as she opened her mouth, her knees gave out. She collapsed against Abe, her body crumpling to the floor in slow motion.

Belle’s scream echoed: “Mom, wake up!”
Brady rushed to her side. Paramedics were summoned. Chaos erupted.

As the courtroom cleared out in a panic, Marina was stabilized and transported to the hospital. The moment brought the trial to a screeching halt—but the true terror was just beginning.

At the Hospital: Belle’s Fear and Brady’s Guilt

Dr. Kayla Johnson took over Marina’s care at the hospital, ordering immediate tests. Belle, tear-streaked and terrified, was convinced something deeper was wrong. “She’s not just grieving,” she insisted. “She’s been confused, dizzy—this isn’t normal.”

Brady tried to comfort her: “She’s always been the strong one. She doesn’t know how to let us help.”

Flashbacks highlighted Marina’s unyielding strength—comforting Belle during childhood nightmares, holding it together during John’s funeral, pushing through grief for Johnny’s sake. Her collapse wasn’t just physical. It was emotional, spiritual, and possibly deadly.

Rachel’s Anxiety and Gwen’s Surprise Arrival

As the medical crisis unfolded, another family faced its own turmoil. Young Rachel Black was consumed with anxiety over the idea of testifying in Johnny’s trial. She confided in Brady and Belle at the DiMera mansion, “What if I say something that sends Johnny to jail?” Her fear reflected the broader generational ripple effects the trial was having.

Enter Gwen Rizczech, suitcase in hand, officially moving into the DiMera mansion. She quickly sensed Rachel’s distress and approached with surprising gentleness. Offering a calming trick—counting to ten and imagining a happy place—Gwen formed an unexpected connection with the girl.

Brady noticed Gwen’s softer side. Could Gwen’s move signal a redemption arc—and possibly reignite romantic sparks with Brady?

A Missing Necklace and a New Mystery

Just when the mansion seemed to settle, another mystery exploded. Gwen, unpacking, realized her favorite necklace—an heirloom she’s worn for years—was gone. Panic set in.

A flashback stunned viewers: Doug Horton, Julie’s husband, held the necklace in secret, his expression unreadable. Did he take it to return to Julie as an olive branch—or is something darker unfolding beneath the surface?

Gwen’s missing necklace is now more than a sentimental loss. It could tie into secrets, betrayals, or even past crimes. The implications are chilling—and unresolved.

Closing Moments: A Town on the Edge

As the episode closed, Salem felt like a powder keg ready to blow. EJ’s memories remain incomplete, but they’re getting closer to the truth. Marina’s collapse stunned the town, and her fate remains uncertain. Johnny’s trial continues to strain every relationship around it. Rachel’s emotional unraveling and Gwen’s mysterious discovery only add layers of tension.

In the final, heart-wrenching shot, Belle sits beside her mother’s hospital bed, clutching her hand. “You have to be okay, Mom,” she whispers. “We need you.”
The monitor beeps steadily, but the sense of foreboding lingers.
