DAYS OF OUR LIVES BOMBSHELL: CAT GREENE’S SECRET SPY MISSION WITH EJ DIMERA SHATTERS CHAD’S WORLD!

TL;DR: Cat Greene is conducting a secret ISA investigation of EJ DiMera while dating Chad DiMera, setting up a devastating betrayal that will destroy their relationship and likely trigger Chad’s exit from Salem.

Hold onto your seats, DOOL fans—the Chad/Cat romance is about to EXPLODE in the most devastating way possible! And no, it’s NOT what you think. This isn’t some steamy love triangle with EJ DiMera thrown into the mix.

It’s SO much worse.

What’s Really Going On Between Cat and EJ?

Cat Greene isn’t flirting with EJ—she’s SPYING on him!

That’s right. Every single “moment of connection” between Cat and EJ that has Chad (and viewers!) seeing red? It’s all part of a covert ISA operation. Cat has been investigating EJ‘s suspicious purchase of University Hospital, and those cozy conversations aren’t romantic—they’re intelligence gathering!

But here’s where it gets absolutely BRUTAL for Chad DiMera…

He has no idea.

Is Cat Playing Chad for a Fool AGAIN?

YES. Though not in the way you’d expect.

Remember when Cat first arrived in Salem? She was part of Clyde Weston‘s sick scheme to impersonate Chad‘s murdered wife, Abigail Deveraux DiMera. That cruel deception nearly destroyed Chad—playing on his deepest grief and most desperate hopes before the truth came crashing down.

Now? History is repeating itself in the cruelest way possible.

Cat genuinely loves Chad (and sources confirm she’s “head over heels” for him), but she’s been coerced back into spy work by ISA Director Shane Donovan. Every sweet moment between them is tainted by the massive secret she’s keeping. Every time Thomas DiMera sees them together—like when he recently asked his dad if he likes Cat—it’s another knife twisting in this tragic love story.

The worst part? Cat knows what she’s doing will destroy him. Again.

Will Chad Ever Forgive This Second Betrayal?

Absolutely NOT. And here’s why…

Chad‘s psychological state is already fragile from Abigail‘s murder. When he discovers Cat has been deceiving him AGAIN—this time targeting his own brother—it won’t just be heartbreak. It’ll be confirmation of his worst fear: that trusting her was a catastrophic mistake he somehow made TWICE.

Think about it from Chad‘s perspective:

Could this mean Chad sees every moment of their relationship as a lie? Don’t be surprised if he recontextualizes EVERYTHING—from their elevator encounter to him caring for her when she was sick—as part of her manipulation.

What Happens When EJ Finds Out?

Oh boy. When EJ DiMera discovers his brother’s girlfriend has been investigating him? The DiMera mansion is going to IMPLODE!

EJ thinks he and Cat are finding “common ground” professionally. He has NO CLUE she’s gathering intel on his hospital acquisition. Given EJ‘s history of ruthless retaliation (remember, this is Stefano DiMera‘s son we’re talking about!), Cat better have an exit strategy ready.

This likely leads to brother versus brother warfare that makes their past rivalries look like playground squabbles.

What’s Next for Chad and Cat?

Given Chad‘s history and the double-layered betrayal, here’s what’s coming:

Could this mean Chad discovers the truth in the most painful way possible—perhaps walking in on Cat and EJ during one of her “intelligence gathering” sessions? The misunderstanding before the devastating truth would be pure soap opera gold.

Don’t be surprised if this revelation happens during a major family event. The DiMeras love their dramatic dinner confrontations, and with Thomas already asking questions about his dad’s feelings, the kids might accidentally expose something.

Given Chad’s history with loss and betrayal, this second deception from Cat will likely send him into a tailspin that ends with him leaving Salem altogether. (And yes, soap fans, this tracks with Billy Flynn’s confirmed departure from the show!)

The Tragic Reality Nobody’s Talking About

Here’s the heartbreaking truth: Cat is trapped.

Her previous ISA mission investigating Clyde Weston‘s drug ring ended with her father murdered and her mother kidnapped and brainwashed. She didn’t volunteer for this new assignment—Shane Donovan basically forced her back into service. She’s not a willing spy; she’s a victim of the intelligence world who genuinely fell for the wrong man at the worst possible time.

But will Chad care about her reasons when the truth explodes?

Not. A. Chance.

This isn’t just a breakup waiting to happen—it’s the complete destruction of trust. The kind that leaves permanent scars. The kind that makes a man pack up his kids and leave town forever.

Mark my words: When this spy secret detonates, it won’t just end Chad and Cat‘s romance. It’ll blow up the entire DiMera family dynamic and serve as Chad DiMera‘s devastating exit from Salem.

The countdown to heartbreak has begun. And unlike most Salem disasters, this one? There’s no coming back from it.
