DOOL SHOCKING: THREE PEOPLE KNOW RACHEL SHOT EJ — BRADY ISN’T ONE OF THEM

TL;DR: On Days of Our Lives, Rachel Black shot EJ DiMera months ago but Brady Black has no idea because Marlena Evans, EJ, and Kristen DiMera are keeping him in the dark, even after Rachel recently knocked out Alex Kiriakis with a catapult-launched pumpkin.

The most explosive secret in Salem is about to blow your mind! Brady Black is the ONLY person who doesn’t know his daughter pulled the trigger on EJ DiMera. Three people would rather lie to his face than tell him what Rachel really did. And after the pumpkin catapult incident? This cover-up went from questionable to absolutely criminal!

Who Really Shot EJ DiMera?

Rachel Black, Brady’s 10-year-old daughter, is the real shooter — not Kristen DiMera who’s sitting in jail for the crime. During a hypnosis session Marlena Evans conducted on EJ, the truth came flooding back. Rachel had confronted her uncle demanding to know where her grandmother went. When EJ swore he didn’t know? She pulled the trigger anyway and left him for dead on his living room floor.

EJ remembered everything while watching Rachel play with an ornament, uttering “Oh my God!” as Marlena’s frightened face confirmed she knew exactly what he’d recalled. This wasn’t an accident — this was attempted murder by a child showing increasingly violent tendencies.

Why Is Marlena Keeping This Secret?

Marlena is actively betraying her stepson after Kristen made a “desperate plea” for this favor. But here’s where it gets twisted — Marlena isn’t just keeping quiet. She’s Rachel’s therapist! Talk about an ethical nightmare! She’s diagnosing the girl with “dissociative amnesia” while possibly using hypnosis to embed memory blocks so Rachel never remembers shooting EJ.

One viewer nailed it: “Do you know how upset John would be to find out that Marlena is keeping such a dangerous secret from his son?” Grief over John Black’s death has scrambled her judgment completely. The woman who forgave Ben Weston for murdering her grandson Will is now covering for another budding sociopath.

What About the Pumpkin Catapult Attack?

On November 3rd, Rachel and Thomas DiMera schemed to launch a pumpkin at Cat Greene — but Chad DiMera pushed Cat away and Alex Kiriakis ended up unconscious instead! This wasn’t some Halloween prank. This was calculated assault!

Brady grounded Rachel, but Marlena was made aware of this incident too. She KNOWS Rachel isn’t some traumatized victim — she’s an escalating threat who’s moved from shooting relatives to launching projectiles at people’s heads! Yet Marlena STILL won’t tell Brady about the shooting.

Who Else Is Keeping Brady in the Dark?

Three conspirators maintain this massive lie:

Kristen DiMera “took the fall for her daughter” by confessing to a crime she didn’t commit. She needs Brady to think she’s the monster — weaponizing this “sacrifice” for future custody battles.

EJ DiMera chose silence to protect the DiMera name from scandal. He’s actively throwing Chad off the scent and endorsing Kristen’s confession.

Even Rachel herself told Brady she was sure her mother didn’t shoot EJ, but he dismissed it as denial. The dramatic irony is killing us!

What’s Next for the Black Family?

Don’t be surprised if Brady’s rage shifts from Kristen to Marlena in Salem’s most devastating betrayal. Given Brady’s history as a permissive parent with a “horrible poker face,” the adults are basically managing him like he’s incompetent.

Could this mean the Black family’s complete destruction? This secret is a ticking time bomb. When Brady discovers “evil” Kristen committed a selfless act while “good” Marlena betrayed him, his entire worldview will collapse. He’ll be torn between justice and fatherhood — does he protect his daughter or finally hold her accountable?

The real climax will be Brady confronting Marlena. His stepmother, Salem’s moral compass, has been lying to his face for months. This will shatter the Black/Brady family and give Kristen the ultimate “I told you so” in their custody war. <p>Catch all the must-know <a href=”https://soapoperamagazine.com/category/days-of-our-lives-spoilers/”>Days of Our Lives spoilers</a> and updates here.</p>
