Meanwhile, EJ DiMera was working behind the scenes to cover his tracks. He had orchestrated the swap, using Dr. Wilhelm Rolf’s experimental memory-erasing drug to ensure that Rafe—or rather,
Arnold—wouldn’t remember the details of his past. But now, with Gabby pushing for a DNA test, EJ knew the truth could unravel at any moment. As tensions escalated,
Jada Hunter also began piecing things together. She had noticed subtle but telling differences in Rafe’s behavior. His mannerisms, his tone, even his reactions to past events all seemed… off.
When she voiced her concerns to Gabby, the two women realized they had the same suspicions. Rafe—or whoever he was—was not the man they thought they knew.
The DNA Test Results
With the help of Kayla Johnson, Gabby managed to secure DNA samples from both herself and Rafe. The results would be the final word on whether or not he was truly her brother. As they waited for the truth to be revealed, the anxiety in Salem grew. EJ scrambled to cover his tracks, but even he knew that science didn’t lie.
When the results finally arrived, Gabby’s worst fears were confirmed. The man claiming to be Rafe Hernandez was, in fact, an impostor. Shocked and furious, she confronted him, demanding to know the truth. But Arnold, backed into a corner, was running out of options. Would he confess? Would EJ find a way to silence him before the truth spread?
As Salem reeled from the revelation, Jada, Gabby, and their allies prepared for the fallout. The battle for the real Rafe’s fate had just begun—and with EJ in the mix, the fight was far from over.
