Days of Our Lives episodes expose EJ DiMera’s escalating crimes and power battles

In the July 28 episode of Days of Our Lives, EJ DiMera presents himself as a caring stepfather while his adversaries gather evidence against him. Xander discovers that EJ planted pills in Holly’s bag, linking the plot to a past DiMera arsenic supply scandal. Sarah initially doubts the accusation but eventually confronts EJ, leading to a tense showdown in the hospital.

Later in the week, EJ attempts to stay ahead of the law. His mother, psychic Susan Banks, warns him about repeating his father Stefano DiMera’s misdeeds and removes a cursed ring from his finger. EJ becomes entangled in a scheme with Gwen Rizczech, who hires him to kidnap her ex‑husband and seeks a lucrative patent on a sepsis‑treatment serum. The plan collapses when the hospital board censures EJ for unethical experiments, and Gwen’s divorce settlement positions her to purchase the hospital, ousting EJ.
