BREAKING NEWS: DOOL Shocker: Ava’s Captivity Twist, Kristen’s Startling Discovery & EJ’s Sinister Scheme Unfolds!
Brady quickly realizes that Ava never sent the text message he received. She makes a promise to her captor, but the mysterious woman in white remains unconvinced.
This woman has masterfully spun a tale, making it seem as though Ava fled to China. But what if the truth comes to light? Instead of China, Ava is actually being held captive in Hong Kong.
The woman, however, dismisses any thoughts of Ava being released, offering her nothing but a cruel smirk. Meanwhile, Rachel, who seems to have her own motives,
finds Ava’s presence amusing, replacing her gag to ensure she remains silent.
Elsewhere, Kristen and Brady cross paths in the DiMera mansion’s living room while taking Rachel to a therapy session. Kristen slyly suggests that Brady still has feelings for Ava, noting how exhausted he looks. Brady, frustrated and hurt, lashes out, unable to comprehend why Ava left without an explanation. Kristen, feigning sympathy, urges him to text Ava for clarity. When he finally does, Kristen makes a shocking discovery—Ava’s phone is right there in the mansion! Digging further, she pieces together the deception at play. Panic grips Kristen as she hastily conceals the phone and makes up an excuse about feeling unwell.
Meanwhile, in the Hernandez kitchen, Jada attempts to reach Rafe, but he ignores her call, too preoccupied with his own distractions. Instead, he receives an unexpected call from EJ, who manipulates the situation to his advantage. Arnold, now stepping into Rafe’s role, seems reluctant but is praised by EJ for his performance during a recent wedding scandal. EJ, determined to secure his victory, refuses to stop until his plan is complete. Belle, overhearing EJ’s conversation, confronts him, accusing him of orchestrating Jada’s downfall. Despite his attempts to justify his actions, Belle sees through his lies and warns him that his manipulations won’t go unnoticed.
As EJ continues to weave his web of deceit, Steve visits Jada, who is struggling to process her sudden suspension. He reassures her, vowing to uncover the truth and prove her innocence. Jada, in shock, recounts the bizarre series of events that led to her current predicament. Steve, suspecting EJ’s involvement, devises a plan to expose him but first checks on Kayla before setting his investigation into motion.
In the Blake household, Ava remains bound to her wheelchair, struggling against her restraints. Just as hope seems lost, Kristen arrives, her face a mask of shock upon seeing Ava’s predicament. Ava reveals that she isn’t alone in captivity—Rachel had an accomplice. The mysterious woman in white lurks in the shadows, her presence sending a chill down Kristen’s spine. As she turns around, she gasps in disbelief. “Mom?” she whispers, stunned by the revelation.
Meanwhile, Alex and Stephanie rush to Joy’s side upon discovering that she may have been exposed to poisoned scripts meant to target actors. Their timely intervention saves the day, ensuring that Joy remains unharmed.
