BREAKING NEWS! EJ brings Lexie back, Paulina panics when she finds out. Days of our lives spoilers
Salem is about to be rocked to its core once again, and this time, the shockwaves are powerful enough to shake even the most seasoned “Days of Our Lives” fans. Welcome to a deep-dive breakdown of a storyline so chilling, so emotionally loaded, and so wildly ambitious that it could redefine the future of the series. Today, we’re unpacking a scandal bubbling at the center of the DiMera dynasty—one involving resurrection technology, family betrayal, political panic… and the unthinkable: EJ DiMera secretly plotting to bring back his sister, Lexie Carver.
Yes, you read that right. If the very idea has your pulse spiking, buckle up, because this ride twists through decades of DiMera history, old wounds, buried secrets, and the kind of moral chaos that only Salem can deliver.
THE DARK LEGACY OF SALEM’S MOST INFAMOUS FAMILY
The DiMeras have always been a tornado of power, deceit, and generational guilt. Beneath the marble floors of the family mansion lie crypts, laboratories, and more secrets than anyone in Salem can count. And in the newest chapter, EJ DiMera—ever polished, ever sly—steps back into the spotlight with a plan as cold as the frost-covered secrets locked inside his family’s freezer.
While the world sees EJ as a smooth politician and cunning CEO, longtime viewers know that façade hides a heart hardened by betrayal, heartbreak, and an upbringing shaped under the iron rule of Stefano DiMera. But this time, EJ’s plot involves neither business nor romance. Instead, it’s tied directly to family… specifically, his beloved sister Lexie, whose death left a permanent crack in the DiMera armor.
Recent scenes hint at EJ moving pieces behind the curtain like a grandmaster preparing for his boldest move yet. And when he starts lurking around the DiMera freezer—raising a glass in a strange, solitary Thanksgiving toast—it becomes painfully clear: EJ is hiding something monumental.
ABE’S HEARTBREAKING PLEA… AND HIS RAGE
This story hits emotional highs and devastating lows, starting with a gut-punch of a flashback featuring Abe Carver, Salem’s moral anchor and Lexie’s longtime husband. In a rare moment of raw vulnerability, Abe begs EJ to free Theo—his brilliant, autistic son—from the DiMera corporate machine.
Theo’s new role as CEO of DiMera Enterprises has thrust him into the center of schemes, rivalry, and corporate warfare. Abe fears his son will be consumed by the same darkness that destroyed so many lives tied to the DiMera name.
But right after pleading for EJ’s help, Abe unleashes years of pent-up bitterness toward Lexie’s family. His words slice like knives through the room, reminding everyone—including viewers—of what it truly means to be a DiMera: manipulation, violence, chaos, and blood-soaked ambition.
Abe’s grief over Lexie—his wife, his soulmate—still lingers, and when he speaks of the DiMeras, the air itself seems to tremble.
THE FREEZER SCENE THAT SHOOK THE FANDOM
While Abe’s emotions spill over, EJ quietly slips away. He descends into the dim, eerie basement of the mansion—a place viewers know all too well. This isn’t a wine cellar. It’s a vault of frozen nightmares and forbidden science.
There, he lifts a glass in a chilling toast:
“Happy Thanksgiving… to my pretend family.”
The camera pans to a cryogenic chamber humming ominously in the background. Fans froze too. What—or who—is EJ talking to?
At first, speculation pointed toward Stefano. He’s come back from the dead so many times that Salem should practically have a loyalty punch card for his resurrections. But this time, something doesn’t fit.
Why would EJ bring back the father who haunted, belittled, and punished him? Stefano didn’t empower EJ—he controlled him. Bringing back Stefano would place EJ right back under the thumb of the ultimate puppet master.
No, something much more emotional—and far more dangerous—is at play.
THE SHOCKING THEORY THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING: LEXIE’S RETURN
All signs, clues, and hidden hints point toward one impossible conclusion:
EJ is preparing to resurrect Lexie Carver.
Lexie, the compassionate doctor, the moral heartbeat of the Carver family, the sister EJ adored.
Her death devastated EJ. It softened him. It shook him in ways Salem rarely sees.
Bringing her back wouldn’t just be a scientific miracle—it’d be a strategic power play. With Lexie alive again, EJ could rewrite the DiMera future in his own image. Imagine Lexie waking up, stepping into the mansion, realizing years have passed.
Imagine her discovering that Theo—her sweet, brilliant boy—is the CEO of the very empire that destroyed countless lives.
Her heartbreak, her fury, her desperate need to protect him…it would be volcanic.
EJ could easily weaponize that emotion. He could convince her that Theo must step down for his own safety. And with Theo out, EJ would inherit the throne uncontested.
This isn’t just family drama. It’s Shakespeare. It’s psychological warfare wrapped in a tragedy of love, loss, and ambition.
THE DANGER NO ONE SEES COMING
But resurrection in Salem is never clean.
We’ve seen it twist personalities, scramble memories, and even create horrors that never should have existed. EJ is gambling with forces he barely understands. His conversation with Abe shows cracks in his confidence. He knows only part of the truth, and what he doesn’t know could blow up in his face.
What if Lexie returns changed?
What if she sides with Abe?
What if she exposes EJ’s secrets the second she wakes?
What if Stefano’s DNA—or worse, his influence—contaminates the process?
EJ may think he’s bringing back an angel… but he might unleash something else entirely.
PAULINA’S PANIC EXPLODES
Enter Paulina Price—fiery, brilliant, outspoken, and fiercely loyal to Abe and Theo.
When EJ decides to taunt her with hints about his plan, the result is explosive. He corners her, smirk blazing, and drops enough breadcrumbs to make her blood run cold.
Theo in danger.
The DiMeras closing in.
A threat coming that she never could’ve imagined.
Paulina erupts. Her panic morphs into rage as she accuses EJ of tearing apart everything she and Abe have fought to preserve. EJ relishes every second of it. Watching Paulina lose control is its own twisted victory.
But Paulina is no shrinking violet.
Her panic will transform into a counterattack—one that could bring Chad, Kristen, and even the unlikely Brady family into the war against EJ.
THE RIPPLE EFFECTS COULD SHAKE ALL OF SALEM
Lexie’s return would touch almost every family:
Abe
Forced to confront the love of his life—brought back by the very family he hates.
Theo
Torn between power and his mother’s emotional pleas.
Paulina
Battling EJ while trying to keep her family from collapsing.
The DiMeras
Facing a moral force they haven’t seen in years.
The Bradys & Hortons
Shuddering at another DiMera resurrection scandal.
Even Sami Brady could be pulled back in, reopening old wounds and romantic tensions with EJ.
THE FUTURE: DRAMA, CHAOS, AND HEARTBREAK
This storyline is a powder keg waiting for the spark:
- If Lexie returns gentle and unchanged, she’ll expose EJ and bring him to ruin.
- If she returns altered, Salem may face a new threat born from DiMera science.
- If the experiment backfires, EJ could lose everything—his family, his power, and his sanity.
Whatever happens, one thing is inevitable:
Nothing in Salem will ever be the same.
As EJ raises that icy Thanksgiving toast, fans brace for a winter storm of betrayal, resurrection, emotional warfare, and shocking reveals.
