Days of Our Lives has Kristen DiMera‘s (Stacy Haiduk) mind set on revenge and she wants EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) to pay. And now she’s roped Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) into helping her get back at EJ for Rachel Black (Lorelei Olivia Mote) winding up back in Bayview.
Honestly, my brain’s been consumed with thoughts of exactly how Kristen could use evil little Sophia to punish EJ. I’ve got a few ideas. So, let’s get to it and see what these two bad girls plan to do and whether they will succeed in destroying EJ.
Expose EJ’s Criminal Activity on Days of Our Lives
Now, first of all, we could see Kristen finding a way to have Sophia expose some aspect of EJ’s criminality. And some of his business dealings. Now, we all know he and Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) have been doing illegal things with those under the table dodgy science experiments and EJ and Dr. Rolf (Richard Wharton) have a long history of doing shady things and they’ve just done more.
You know, EJ is a chip off of the old Stefano DiMera block. He learned crime at his dad’s knee and definitely thinks he is above the law. As an attorney, EJ knows how to use the law and use loopholes to his advantage, especially since he was district attorney as well as being a cutthroat private attorney.
Kristen Uses Rolf Against EJ on DOOL?
So, perhaps Kristen uses the not-so-secret labs discovery as part of her plan with Sophia to take down her brother. EJ has done some shady stuff, including siphoning massive amounts of electricity from the city of Salem to power Lexie Carver‘s (Nikki Crawford) person pod.
And he’s been hiding infamous criminal scientist Dr. Rolf, who is now wanted as an accessory to Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) and Jeremy Horton‘s (Michael Roark) kidnappings. If you remember, Rolf turned a blind eye when he saw Jeremy and Stephanie.
And Rolf just told his hired hand Owen Kent (Wes Ramsey) to get rid of them ASAP. That was his one response. He just looked and was like, “Yeah, get rid of them.” So, Kristen might ask Sophia to go poke around the tunnels under the DiMera mansion to find Rolf. That way, EJ would be found to be harboring a fugitive.
Or she could send Sophia poking around the hospital, those dodgy areas, trying to find Rolf. And then Sophia could report that information to the Salem Police Department, or she could feed it to journalist Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) to splash across the Salem Spectator headlines, you know, talking trash about EJ doing crime.
Kristen Wants EJ Behind Bars on Days
So, Kristen’s endgame, I feel like, is to put EJ behind bars as payback for Rachel being sent to Bayview for a second time. But also, there’s more to it. Kristen completely blames her brother for his own shooting. Because EJ had hidden her mom, Rachel Blake (Roslyn Gentle) away so that she couldn’t testify against him in court.
And her little namesake, little Rachel, just wanted her grandma home again. That’s why she picked up the gun. And accidentally shot her uncle EJ. But if Kristen and Sophia can’t find anything incriminating against EJ, they could do something more sinister to send him to prison.
Now, this is totally twisted. But what if Kristen tells her little co-conspirator Sophia that she needs to drug EJ and sleep with him? And then unhinged Sophia could claim that EJ sexually assaulted her. They could honestly really sell it.
If Kristen manhandled Sophia, you know, roughed her up, gave her a black eye, slapped her around, left some bruises on her. And we all know Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu) is just itching to put EJ behind bars for something.
Days of our Lives Shocker: EJ Framed for Sexual Assault?
So, if Sophia showed up to the Salem cop shop all battered and screaming sexual assault, that could definitely get EJ arrested and put in the slammer, destroy what’s left of his reputation. However, I will say that Kristen and Sophia would have to play that one very carefully.
They would need to use a drug that would flush out of EJ’s system quickly so that it couldn’t be tested at the hospital. And Kristen may convince Dr. Rolf to get her a drug or she may have another source. If she got it from Rolf, Kristen, you know, obviously couldn’t tell him that she planned to use it against EJ.
Kristen Has Done This Before on DOOL
And let’s not forget Kristen has drugged and raped a guy herself before. If you remember, she did it to Eric Brady (Greg Vaughan) back in his priest days. And if I recall correctly, that was part of what cost him his collar, I think.
So, yeah, Kristen is totally capable of doing something like this. And that would be a pretty low blow, no pun intended. But EJ also wouldn’t be the usual suspect for this type of crime. He isn’t known to beat on women or anything.
However, he did coerce Sami Brady (Alison Sweeney) into sleeping with him back in the day in exchange for him saving Rafe Hernandez‘s (Galen Gering) life. And that was the night Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) was conceived. And you know, people are torn. A lot of fans call that rape.
Days of our Lives: Sophia and Kristen Go After EJ?
But he’s not necessarily a violent person. EJ usually has other people doing that type of dirty work for him. He doesn’t get his hands dirty personally. However, everybody knows how he feels about Sophia. Because she tried to ruin his son Johnny’s life with those sexy texts.
And she took that photo of Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis). And Sophia, of course, hates him. She’s really ticked that EJ shut her down when she tried to stop the final adoption hearing of little Trey. So, Kristen and Sophia could try to get him arrested.
And also wreck his already tarnished reputation by going the roofie route with EJ. That would be a really dirty trick for Kristen to play on EJ. But we already know there’s no low that she won’t sink to. Kristen has proved it time and again on Days of our Lives.
Wreck EJ’s Relationship with Johnny
And last, another way that she could use Sophia is to further wreck EJ’s relationship with Johnny. We know he recently talked to EJ about that plagiarism/copyright lawsuit and Johnny is freaking out. He feels like he didn’t do his due diligence.
But bottom line was he was set up by Kate Roberts (Lauren Koslow) and Xander Kiriakis Cook (Paul Telfer) to rush Bonnie Kiriakis‘s (Judi Evans) book into publication and he wanted to get that done before he returned to Titan.
And now Johnny’s considering staying on at DiMera, partly to clean up this mess with Bonnie’s book. But also because Theo Carver (Cameron Johnson) asked him to stay on. So, Kristen could use Sophia to convince Johnny that EJ helped Kate and Xander pull off the trickery to keep him working as CEO of DiMera.
Now Johnny definitely isn’t going to listen to anything that Sophia has to say, so they’d have to go about it a different way. Plus, he and Chanel Dupree DiMera (Raven Bowens) are afraid that Trey’s psycho birth mom, Sophia, could try to kidnap the baby.
Days of our Lives: Sophia Totally on Board
And Kristen could use Sophia’s social media savvy or her ability to sneak around undetected to plant some fake info about EJ plotting with Kate and Xander to trick Johnny. There’s also the chance that EJ did know what Kate and Xander were doing and did nothing to intervene for that reason.
So, it could be that Kristen and Sophia stumble upon something or eavesdrop on EJ. And the bottom line is Sophia hates Johnny and EJ both. So, she’d be game for any of this. I suspect things are going to ramp up soon with Kristen manipulating Sophia into getting sweet revenge on EJ.
And we’ll see if they can pull off something before Tate Black (Leo Howard) and Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) match Sophia’s fingerprints on Holly’s supplement bottle to that drink bottle and alert the cops on her. And then Kristen would lose her partner in crime.
