Will's return to Salem was timed to perfection. He reunited with Paul and Marlena and had a heart-to-heart with Johnny, who continues to be torn between the shooting of EJ and his own involvement in the family drama. Will attempted to reassure him, but the sense of guilt and unanswered truths hung in the air.


EJ DiMera's dangerous deal

Outside the hospital doors, EJ DiMera found himself in the middle of a perilous negotiation. Kristen informed him that Rachel had witnessed Johnny holding a gun on the night EJ was ambushed. While no concrete evidence was put forth, Kristen employed the child's memory in service of her own agenda. Kristen insisted that EJ deliver her mother as payment for her silence regarding Johnny.

Confronted with making the hard decision, EJ accepted the deal under the stipulation that Rachel never return to Salem. The tense sibling ceasefire has potential long-term ramifications for the DiMera legacy.
