DOOL Spoilers: Ava & Rafe Are Locked in the Same Place, Krisren & EJ’s New Agreement
But the ones EJ and Kristen are keeping could shatter lives if exposed. Both siblings are playing a dangerous game, each hiding their own captives—EJ has Rafe, and Kristen has Ava. No one has discovered these explosive secrets yet, but with the way things are unfolding, the truth may be closer to coming out than either of them realizes.
As we head into next week, EJ is in for a shocking discovery that could change everything. His carefully laid plans take a dark turn when he stumbles upon something he never expected at an abandoned house—Ava, bound and held captive.
But that’s not all. He also comes face to face with a mysterious woman, Rachel Blake, known in some circles as “The Woman in White.”
Why Did EJ Go to Blake’s House?
EJ thought he had been meticulous in keeping his actions under wraps. Locking Rafe in the DEA basement was far too risky—if anyone in the mansion got suspicious, all his power plays could come crumbling down.
So, he made the calculated decision to move Rafe somewhere no one would think to look—an abandoned house, seemingly perfect for his purposes.
But fate had other plans.
When EJ arrives at the house, he expects to check on his prisoner. Instead, he is blindsided by the sight of Ava—tied up, struggling, and very much a prisoner herself.
His mind reels. What is she doing here? Who else knows about this place? And then, just as he’s trying to process the scene before him, another figure emerges from the shadows—Rachel Blake.
The moment their eyes meet, EJ feels an unsettling chill creep down his spine. Her presence alone sends alarm bells ringing in his head.
She’s an enigma, a woman of mystery and power, and now she’s standing in front of him in the last place he ever expected to see her.
Kristen’s Stunning Realization
When EJ returns from his unsettling discovery, he is visibly shaken. He may be a DiMera, but even he can’t hide his emotions completely. Kristen immediately picks up on it.
“You look like you’ve seen a ghost,” she comments, eyes narrowing as she studies him.
And in a way, he has.
Kristen has always been quick-witted, and it doesn’t take her long to put the pieces together. EJ’s reaction, his evasiveness—it all adds up to something big. Then he slips. He admits that he saw her mother.
Kristen’s blood runs cold. Her mind races as she realizes the implications. EJ has been spying on the Blake family home. This is dangerous—very dangerous.
If EJ knows about Rachel Blake, if he has stumbled upon Kristen’s secret, that means he’s seen more than he should have. And if he knows about her hostage, Ava, then their entire arrangement could come crashing down.
A Dangerous Bargain
Kristen doesn’t waste time. She corners EJ, pressing him for details, demanding to know what he’s up to. But EJ, ever the strategist, quickly turns the tables. They both know exactly what this means.
EJ, despite his usual arrogance, sees the predicament he’s in. If Kristen talks—if she so much as breathes a word about Rafe’s abduction—he’s done for. And now that he knows Kristen’s secret, he has leverage.
The unspoken tension lingers in the air.
Finally, EJ proposes a deal.
“I’ll keep quiet about your mother and Ava,” he says, his tone controlled but firm, “if you keep quiet about Rafe.”
Kristen eyes him warily. It’s a risky agreement—one misstep, and everything they’ve worked to protect could unravel. But at this point, neither of them has much of a choice.
And so, a deal is struck. One built on secrecy, manipulation, and mutual destruction. Should either of them break their word, what happens to Rafe and Ava?
Will they be found before it’s too late?
Or will the sins of the DiMera siblings ensure their captives never see the light of day again?
