So, it was again in early February that I first revealed I received a leak that Rachel was the one who shot EJ And the Day’s press workplace, who really solely work Monday by means of Friday, emailed me upset on a weekend, which was sort of fascinating.
They weren’t joyful and, by the best way, banned me from future Days occasions. So, principally, I received blackballed for doing what journalists do, reporting on scoops and inside data and leaks. That’s what journalists do. However at any charge, I’m not going to cease doing it as a result of I’m a journalist.
So, in the event that they hadn’t stated something to me after I printed that Rachel leak, I might need thought, see the way it goes. However after the response from the press workplace, , after all, I believed, huh, nicely, I feel 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.

She’s been getting sick to her abdomen. However on the similar time, everyone knows that the little Rachel is psychotically devious. I imply, she is Kristen’s daughter for actual. Do you bear in mind these threatening texts that she was sending Ava Vitali (Tamara Braun) to get her out of Brady Black’s (Eric Martsolf) life? , unhinged stuff.
And when you bear 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 Mild), doubtless infuriated little Rachel, after which EJ received shot. And that wasn’t lengthy after Kristen begged him to provide again her mother, Rachel. In fact, EJ refused as a result of they had been betraying him and planning to ship him to jail.

And yeah, I’m positive 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 stated understanding 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. In fact, they’re anxious. Johnny shot EJ and left him for useless. However when Marlena and Roman confronted him, , for me, Johnny’s confession appeared honest and his grandparents additionally appeared to consider him. So Johnny advised Roman that yeah, he took the gun from the lock field behind the bar and went to confront EJ.
After which Roman stated 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 somewhat child may do. H take into consideration that.

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 bear in mind Johnny pulling the set off, simply that he held the gun on him. So, his recollections should not all again from that night time.
And at this level, I additionally suspect EJ has not watched the entire video on that reminiscence card that he simply confirmed Tony DiMera (Thaao Penghlis). , possibly 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 data to arrest Johnny. , possibly 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 assume Rachel’s actively making an attempt to punish Johnny.
If something, she’s making an attempt to punish EJ. And if our leaker is appropriate, and I really feel strongly they’re once more due to the press workplace incident, then Rachel did shoot EJ out of anger. I consider that half was a criminal offense of ardour. Some kind of momentary madness, simply this flash of anger. However what’s taking place now with Johnny’s arrest, that’s one thing else solely.
Days of Our Lives: Rachel’s Revenge or PTSD?
So this might go one in every of two methods. So, as a result of EJ survived, possibly Rachel determined she must punish EJ one other approach since he took somebody that Rachel loves, her loopy grandma Rachel. , possibly 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 honest change. Nevertheless, it will not be that straightforward. So possibly the taking pictures was a momentary psychological break after which issues have gotten worse in her head. What’s taking place now may very well be PTSD and fragmented recollections in younger Rachel’s thoughts.
Days of Our Lives: Rachel’s Psychological Meltdown?
So after all we’ve received questions. First, is Kristen’s daughter evil sufficient to hold out this plot? Or has she simply blanked out on what she did that night time? And the trauma of taking pictures EJ has simply damaged her little mind. , possibly Rachel shot her uncle EJ and the stress simply fritzed all of it out. It was overload. She doesn’t bear in mind it, , and so Rachel could solely bear in mind seeing Johnny with the gun that night time and never what she herself did.
I imply, it’s scary to think Rachel deliberately shot EJ and making an attempt to kill him after which intentionally framed Johnny. it’s humorous. My husband doesn’t get scared once we watch horror films. Until it’s an evil child like that film Unhealthy Seed or the little undead toddler in Pet Cemetery. These all the time terrify him. So, is Rachel simply as depraved and devious as her mother Kristen. Or she simply sort of tousled and is somewhat child struggling a psychological well being disaster? , possibly 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 assume Johnny shot him, however I believe both Johnny or Marlena guarantee him that no, that’s not what occurred. , EJ could return and have a look at the entire contents of the reminiscence card.
EJ might go to Marlena to hypnotize him to assist recuperate his recollections. The reminiscence card is a greater choice as a result of that’s precise proof that may very well be submitted in courtroom. So, additionally we have now this behind the-scenes picture that sort of unintentionally leaked Kristen’s destiny. In the event you have a look at that, and that is from, I feel, 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, when you have 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 believe EJ finds out Rachel shot him. And he, after all, isn’t 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 received video of your daughter taking pictures me. , “,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 a substitute. I’ll be sure Rachel will get intensive psychotherapy. Brady will prepare 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 feel he may be inclined to take that deal as a result of the concept of placing his little niece in jail may be exhausting for him to swallow. And Kristen yeah, I feel she would undoubtedly sacrifice herself for Rachel. We’ll see the way it goes. However my greatest query total 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 likewise very fascinating, or is Rachel merely somewhat lady haunted by guilt and trauma over a nasty factor she did within the spur of the second.
