Kristen’s day starts with a rude awakening when Melinda informs her that she has been ousted from her position as CEO of DiMera Enterprises due to Titan’s takeover. Kristen is enraged and demands answers, but before she can fully process the news, Shawn and JJ arrive with the latest findings in the investigation into EJ’s shooting. They reveal that Kristen’s gun was not the weapon that shot EJ, but they still consider her a suspect. Fueled by anger and a thirst for revenge, Kristen storms off to confront the situation head-on.
At her old office, Kristen barges in, only to be confronted by Melinda, who tries to stop her from causing a scene. But when Xander enters, claiming the office as his own, Kristen realizes she’s been replaced. Melinda tries to defend Kristen, but the moment quickly turns even more dramatic when Xander fires Melinda. With no one left to stop her, Kristen pulls out a gun and points it directly at Xander, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats as the situation escalates dangerously.
Meanwhile, Jada is dealing with her own relationship drama. She confides in Stephanie about Rafe kicking her out after discovering her affair with Shawn. Stephanie suggests that Rafe’s difficulty moving past the betrayal stems from his lingering feelings for Jada, and she’s confident they will reunite. Jada tries reaching out to Rafe, but she receives no response. Still determined, she decides to go to the bar in the hope of seeing him.
However, things take an awkward turn when Javi visits Rafe’s place and walks in on Rafe and Sami in bed together. Clearly uncomfortable, Javi quickly leaves, and Sami jokes about not being embarrassed this time. Rafe insists their night together wasn’t about Jada, but Sami then reminisces about their time in Italy and extends an invitation for him to visit, which he declines. Later, Rafe gets a text from Jada asking to meet at the Small Bar, leaving fans wondering how the complicated love triangle will play out.
Elsewhere, Leo and Gabi engage in a tense breakfast conversation. Leo hints that Gabi’s job might be at risk, and they bicker over the ongoing investigation into EJ’s shooting. He also reveals that Kristen has become the prime suspect. Javi then enters and tells them about Rafe spending the night with Sami, further complicating the already messy dynamics.
Later, Sami has a serious conversation with Leo, warning Javi about Leo’s shady past. However, Javi remains unfazed, indicating he’s willing to overlook Leo’s history. Meanwhile, Shawn and JJ revisit the case and, after clearing Kristen, turn their focus to Gabi as the prime suspect. JJ informs Gabi of the development, making her realize that she could be in deep trouble.
