Days of Our Lives spoilers and updates reveal that Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) and EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) have reconciled after Cat resigned from her position.
This week, Cat visited to return his belongings, seemingly intent on stirring up tension—and her strategy succeeded, resulting in a passionate kiss between them.
Yet the question remains: Can EJ truly trust Cat?
Key Takeaways
- EJ and Cat share a passionate kiss.
- Cat continues her secret ISA mission.
- EJ may be manipulating Cat.
- Chad could complicate their romance.
- Growing feelings threaten both their plans.
EJ and Cat May Be Engaging in a Game of Mutual Deception
In reality, both EJ and Cat might be deceiving one another in a precarious game of manipulation. Let’s examine the specifics of their reconciliation and intimate moment.
Cat stepped away from working for EJ when he grew suspicious after learning about her background as a former ISA operative.
However, Cat withheld crucial information—she continues working undercover for the spy organization under Andrew Donovan’s (Colton Little) direction.
More troubling, EJ himself is her target, and he seems unaware of it.
Notably, Cat previously collaborated with Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) last year, and over the past year, they’ve investigated EJ’s illicit activities at Salem University Hospital.
Cat was initially assigned routine analytical work, but she’s since become much more directly involved in pursuing EJ’s case, raising concerns for both Rafe and Andrew.
As previous Days of Our Lives spoilers revealed, EJ has already questioned Cat’s loyalties, making their renewed relationship even more dangerous.
Cat Devised a Strategy
Following EJ’s dismissal of Cat over the ISA incident, Cat devised a strategy: withdrawing might prompt him to pursue her instead.
This week on Days of Our Lives, Cat visited the DiMera mansion to retrieve her key and belongings from her assistant position.
She taunted EJ, claiming she’d duplicated his house key and hard drive for the ISA—a threat that may hold some truth.
After resolving their conflict, EJ confessed that his trust issues run deep.
His own son, Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman), betrayed him to the Salem PD over the Coriseal scandal.
EJ’s Closest Confidante Abandoned Him
Compounding his troubles, his closest ally, Rita Lesley (Maggie Carney), abandoned him without revealing details about Dominic Marino (uncast) or their potential brotherhood.
And she stole his Phoenix ring to send to Dominic.
Feeling isolated and vulnerable, EJ practically pleads with Cat to resume her assistant role and rebuild their friendship, hinting that he desires something deeper.
Their passionate kiss follows, though Cat’s initial hesitation suggests lingering doubts, possibly stemming from Marlena Evans’ (Deidre Hall) earlier question about her feelings for EJ.
Cat had denied loving him then, yet their kiss radiates undeniable chemistry.
Of course, earlier spoilers teased that EJ would fall into Cat’s trap and share a passionate kiss.
Now, the question is whether either of them can control what happens next.
EJ’s Using Cat to Get Information on Dominic, But Who’s Playing Who?
EJ is clearly leveraging Cat to gather intelligence on Dominic, though his genuine attraction to her may have prompted the invitation.
Given EJ’s criminal expertise and Cat’s analytical prowess with financial records, she could trace Dominic’s activities and provide valuable insights.
Yet this arrangement poses risks.
Cat might inadvertently signal that she’s investigating EJ himself, jeopardizing her safety if emotions compromise her judgment.
Worse, romantic feelings could drive her to suppress evidence protecting EJ from ISA and FBI prosecution.
EJ Is No Dummy
EJ, however, isn’t naïve, and he’s no dummy. He’s acutely aware of Cat’s ISA ties and may be manipulating her.
Distrustful of further betrayal, he could entrap Cat in illegal activity and blackmail her.
Conversely, Cat might uncover sufficient evidence to dismantle EJ’s empire, but her feelings could prevent her from acting.
Earlier, Cat expressed wanting to move slowly in their relationship, possibly heeding Andrew’s explicit warning: “Do not sleep with EJ.”
When confronted with the choice, will Cat prioritize justice over her heart?
It Could Get Complicated
The situation becomes more complicated because Cat may harbor lingering romantic feelings for Chad DiMera (Conner Floyd), EJ’s brother.
Recall that Chad confronted Cat after learning from EJ that she worked for the ISA, questioning why she assumed Abigail Deveraux DiMera’s identity upon arriving in Salem.
Given her ISA connections, Chad wondered why she didn’t use them to eliminate Clyde Weston (James Read) instead of following his orders.
Currently, Chad is involved with Belle Black (Martha Madison) and has noted that Cat appears more interested in EJ.
Both Chad and Marlena have picked up on the chemistry between Cat and EJ, and Cat risks professional and personal consequences if she pursues EJ seriously.
As Celebrating The Soaps previously explored, Cat’s dangerous game with EJ could also affect Chad, especially if her feelings interfere with her undercover assignment.
Are EJ and Cat Merely Using Each Other, or Is There Something Real Between Them?
This positions them as one of Salem’s most compelling potential couples, though questions linger about the relationship’s authenticity.
Many Days of Our Lives viewers suspect EJ is manipulating Cat for personal gain rather than genuine affection.
Some theorize EJ harbors the same obsessive attachment Stefano DiMera (Joseph Mascolo) once felt toward Marlena, potentially positioning Cat as his personal queen of the night.
While this parallel has been suggested, a crucial difference exists: Marlena never willingly reciprocated Stefano’s feelings, whereas Cat appears to be developing genuine emotions for EJ.
The central mystery remains whether EJ is exploiting Cat, she’s using him, or both are manipulating each other for their own purposes.
Editor’s Take
I think EJ and Cat are playing a very dangerous game, and neither one is being completely honest!
Cat might believe she’s clever enough to fool EJ, but we’re talking about a DiMera here. EJ has spent years manipulating people, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he already suspects she’s hiding something.
The bigger problem is that Cat seems to be developing real feelings for him.
If she falls in love with EJ, will she actually be able to turn him over to the ISA?
And let’s not forget Chad. This could turn into another complicated DiMera family mess before it’s over!
Do you think EJ genuinely has feelings for Cat, or is he just using her to get what he wants? And will Cat betray the ISA to protect him?
