So, mainly, I bought blackballed for doing what journalists do, reporting on scoops and inside data and leaks. That’s what journalists do. However at any price, I’m not going to cease doing it as a result of I’m a journalist.
So, in the event that they hadn’t mentioned something to me after I revealed that Rachel leak, I might need thought, see the way it goes. However after the response from the press workplace, , after all, I assumed, huh, properly, I believe this leak’s fairly legit about Rachel taking pictures EJ. And now, months later, issues preserve unfolding and occasions are beginning to transfer sooner. And I’m extra sure that my leaker was proper on the mark about rotten little Rachel and her revenge plan.

So, all of us noticed Kristen DiMera’s (Stacy Haiduk) daughter appearing unusually at her celebration and we’ve seen Rachel form of battling anxiousness. She’s been getting sick to her abdomen. However on the identical time, everyone knows that the little Rachel is psychotically devious. I imply, she is Kristen’s daughter for actual. Do you keep in mind these threatening texts that she was sending Ava Vitali (Tamara Braun) to get her out of Brady Black’s (Eric Martsolf) life? You understand, unhinged stuff.
And for those who keep in mind, EJ snatched Rachel despatched her away to maintain her from testifying in opposition to him about Rafe Hernandez‘s (Galen Gering) kidnapping. So EJ exiling Granny Rachel Blake (Roslyn Light), seemingly infuriated little Rachel, after which EJ bought shot. And that wasn’t lengthy after Kristen begged him to present again her mother, Rachel.

And yeah, I’m certain Rachel did see that as a result of it did occur. However the query is, was Rachel having a nightmare or was she faking sleep in order that she might say what she mentioned figuring out that Marlena would ask about it? And naturally, she did ask and Rachel confessed her dream to Marlena.
Days of Our Lives: Johnny’s Confession Chaos
After which Doc trotted over to see her ex-husband Roman Brady (Josh Taylor) about their grandson. After all, they’re anxious. Johnny shot EJ and left him for lifeless. However when Marlena and Roman confronted him, , for me, Johnny’s confession appeared honest and his grandparents additionally appeared to imagine him. So Johnny instructed Roman that yeah, he took the gun from the lock field behind the bar and went to confront EJ.
After which Roman mentioned he discovered the weapon caught in a planter outdoors and that’s the place issues had been getting hanky as a result of Johnny didn’t stick it there. He left the gun in the lounge the place he had confronted EJ finger on the set off however then couldn’t shoot him. Laid down the gun left.
Sticking it in a planter although is one thing like slightly child would possibly do. H take into consideration that. So Johnny instructed Roman and Marlena he didn’t hearth the gun and so they imagine him and so they’re questioning who did hearth the gun as a result of Roman mentioned one bullet is lacking.
Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Johnny’s Arrest and EJ’s Reminiscence Loss
Later this week, Johnny and his dad are each shocked when Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu) arrests Johnny for taking pictures EJ. So the police commissioner herself slaps cuffs on him. And by the best way, EJ doesn’t keep in mind Johnny pulling the set off, simply that he held the gun on him. So, his reminiscences aren’t all again from that evening.
And at this level, I additionally suspect EJ has not watched all the video on that reminiscence card that he simply confirmed Tony DiMera (Thaao Penghlis). You understand, perhaps EJ couldn’t bear to see Johnny hating him a lot that he pulled the set off.
So, I’m left questioning, how does Jada get the information to arrest Johnny. You understand, perhaps any person was eavesdropping, or Rachel might inform Kristen or Brady about it. And I don’t know if that might do it as a result of Kristen and Brady each know. So, at this level, I additionally don’t suppose Rachel’s actively attempting to punish Johnny.
If something, she’s attempting to punish EJ. And if our leaker is right, and I really feel strongly they’re once more due to the press workplace incident, then Rachel did shoot EJ out of anger. I imagine that half was against the law of ardour. Some type of momentary madness, simply this flash of anger. However what’s taking place now with Johnny’s arrest, that’s one thing else completely.
Days of Our Lives: Rachel’s Revenge or PTSD?
So this might go one among two methods. So, as a result of EJ survived, perhaps Rachel determined she must punish EJ one other method since he took somebody that Rachel loves, her loopy grandma Rachel. You understand, perhaps Rachel goes to take somebody that EJ loves, his son Johnny.
Since EJ despatched Rachel Blake away, little Rachel might imagine sending Johnny away to jail is a tit for tat truthful change. Nonetheless, it will not be that easy. So perhaps the taking pictures was a momentary psychological break after which issues have gotten worse in her head. What’s taking place now might be PTSD and fragmented reminiscences in younger Rachel’s thoughts.

Days of Our Lives: Rachel’s Psychological Meltdown?
So after all we’ve bought questions. First, is Kristen’s daughter evil sufficient to hold out this plot? Or has she simply blanked out on what she did that evening? And the trauma of taking pictures EJ has simply damaged her little mind. , perhaps Rachel shot her uncle EJ and the stress simply fritzed all of it out. It was overload. She doesn’t keep in mind it, , and so Rachel could solely keep in mind seeing Johnny with the gun that evening and never what she herself did.
I imply, it’s scary to suppose Rachel deliberately shot EJ and attempting to kill him after which intentionally framed Johnny. You understand it’s humorous. My husband doesn’t get scared once we watch horror motion pictures. Until it’s an evil child like that film Unhealthy Seed or the little undead toddler in Pet Cemetery. These at all times terrify him. So, is Rachel simply as depraved and devious as her mother Kristen. Or she simply form of tousled and is slightly child struggling a psychological well being disaster? You understand, perhaps she legit thinks Johnny shot his father.
Days of Our Lives: EJ’s Quest for Solutions and Kristen’s Destiny
So, one other query is that this. Uh, how is EJ going to get the solutions he wants? He does really suppose Johnny shot him, however I think both Johnny or Marlena guarantee him that no, that’s not what occurred. You understand, EJ could return and take a look at the entire contents of the reminiscence card.
EJ might go to Marlena to hypnotize him to assist get well his reminiscences. The reminiscence card is a greater possibility as a result of that’s precise proof that might be submitted in court docket. So, additionally we’ve this behind the-scenes picture that form of unintentionally leaked Kristen’s destiny. For those who take a look at that, and that is from, I believe, I don’t know, like 7 months in the past.
It was again when Thaao Penghlis got here again to movie extra scenes. And naturally, he’s again on the air now. So, for those who take a look at all their outfits, that’s clearly Kristen in Salem, Statesville, jail blues, no make-up on, trying very plain like she does when she’s incarcerated.
Days of Our Lives: EJ Finds Out?
So, I think EJ finds out Rachel shot him. And he, after all, will not be going to let Johnny go to jail. He could attempt to speak Belle Black (Martha Madison) out of prosecuting, and that doesn’t work. After which he watches all of the video after Johnny insists he didn’t shoot him.
Then EJ goes to Kristen and is like, “Look, I’ve bought video of your daughter taking pictures me. You understand, “,That little psycho goes to juvie and I’m saving my son.” And I can see Kristen saying, “Don’t do it. I’ll confess to the crimes. Ship me to jail as an alternative. I’ll be certain that Rachel will get intensive psychotherapy. Brady will organize it, however don’t put my daughter behind bars, .” And Kristen nonetheless has some leverage in opposition to EJ within the kidnapping and different unhealthy deeds he’s executed.
So, I believe he is perhaps inclined to take that deal as a result of the thought of placing his little niece in jail is perhaps exhausting for him to swallow. And Kristen yeah, I believe she would undoubtedly sacrifice herself for Rachel. We’ll see the way it goes. However my largest query general is whether or not Kristen’s daughter cooked up a scheme and is gaslighting all of the adults round her, which is twisted and terrifying and in addition very attention-grabbing, or is Rachel merely slightly woman haunted by guilt and trauma over a nasty factor she did within the spur of the second.
