The suspense in Days of Our Lives has never been more intense as EJ DiMera fights to uncover the truth behind the shooting that nearly ended his life. With his memory clouded by amnesia, EJ is haunted by fragments of that fateful night—flashes of a gunshot, a shadowy figure, and a voice he can’t quite place. As his son, Johnny, is accused of the crime, the DiMera family is on the brink of destruction, and the search for the shooter has become a matter of life and death.

The stakes are higher than ever as EJ struggles with the question: Who shot me? And could hypnosis be the key to unlocking the truth hidden in his mind? The path to discovering the shooter’s identity is lined with tension, uncertainty, and the constant question of whether EJ can trust his own memories.

EJ’s desperate search for answers begins with an explosive confrontation with Belle Black, the determined attorney who is prosecuting Johnny for the crime. Belle is unwavering in her commitment to justice, but EJ, torn between his love for his son and the mounting evidence against him, is convinced that Johnny is innocent. The two engage in a heated argument, with emotions running high. In the middle of their confrontation, Belle suggests a controversial solution—hypnosis.

“It’s a risk, EJ,” Belle warns, “but it might be the only way to unlock the memories you’re holding onto.” Though skeptical, EJ agrees, seeing this as his last chance to exonerate Johnny and find out who truly pulled the trigger.

With Belle’s suggestion, the hypnosis gambit begins, setting the stage for a journey into the unknown. The prospect of uncovering the truth through hypnosis sends a shiver down EJ’s spine. He must surrender control of his mind to a hypnotherapist, Dr. Marina Evans, who is known for helping people unlock buried memories. As he prepares for his first session, the tension is palpable.

Marina’s office is calm and soothing, but EJ’s nerves are anything but. As he sits in the chair, Marina’s soothing voice guides him through the process, asking him to go back to that night—back to the moment when the gunshot rang out. The hypnosis session begins, and the memories flood back in vivid fragments: the argument with Johnny, the gun, the darkness, the shadowy figure, and then… the gunshot.

But even as the pieces start to fall into place, the memory remains elusive. Who was the shooter? The shadowy figure in his mind remains just out of reach. EJ’s frustration builds as he struggles to grasp the full memory, but the breakthrough he needs seems just beyond his grasp.

“What did you see, EJ?” Marina asks gently, trying to draw out the answers. “Who was it?” But EJ is left with a feeling of dread, unable to connect the dots. His mind is on the verge of a breakthrough, but the truth remains a puzzle with too many missing pieces.

As the hypnosis sessions continue, new revelations begin to surface, each one bringing EJ closer to the truth. The voice in his memory becomes clearer, the shadowy figure closer. Could it be someone close to EJ, someone he knows intimately, that pulled the trigger? The possibility of betrayal shakes EJ to his core. Could the shooter be someone from his inner circle?

The investigation ramps up as Belle, EJ, and Marina work together to explore new leads. But the list of suspects is long, and Salem’s residents are no strangers to secrets and grudges. Could it be Stefano DiMera’s loyalists, plotting from beyond the grave, or perhaps Kristen DiMera, whose manipulative ways have always been a threat to the DiMera family? What about Sami Brady, EJ’s fiery ex-wife, who has a history of vengeance? And let’s not forget Chad DiMera—could sibling rivalry have turned deadly?

As the pieces of the puzzle start to come together, the tension in Salem rises to a fever pitch. EJ’s hypnosis sessions reveal more and more, but the closer he gets to the truth, the more dangerous the game becomes. Will the hypnosis sessions unlock the final memory and reveal the true shooter, or will the truth be even more devastating than anyone could have imagined?

The emotional toll on the DiMera family is evident. Nicole Walker, EJ’s wife, struggles with the pressure of the investigation, and Johnny, locked away in a holding cell, faces the terrifying possibility of spending his life behind bars for a crime he insists he didn’t commit. As Johnny’s future hangs in the balance, EJ and Belle race against time to uncover the truth.

The clock is ticking, and Salem waits with bated breath. Will EJ’s hypnosis sessions lead to the revelation of the shooter’s identity, clearing Johnny’s name? Or will the truth shatter the DiMera family forever, exposing a betrayal so profound that nothing will ever be the same again?
