Days of Our Lives weekly preview sees EJ chase the truth, Gwen claim her fortune, and Ari and Holly face deadly danger

Unanticipated peril arrives during the upcoming weeks of Days of Our Lives as Johnny and Chanel's futures hang uncertain. Meanwhile, Arianna and Holly face an unexpected threat from Doug's enemies. Elsewhere, Gwen starts throwing her weight around as she demands her rights.

The past few weeks on Days of Our Lives saw EJ trying out desperate moves to save his son. He had Rita deliver the memory card to the DA's office. However, when the authorities saw the recording, only Chanel was seen threatening EJ before his shootout. As such, Jada interrogated Chanel, and Johnny promised to own up to the crime if Chanel was incriminated.

The previous week also saw Gwen return to Salem after a long time. On one hand, she refused to give Julie's heirloom necklace back, while on the other, she tried to seduce Xander, who backed out at the last minute. On the other hand, Xander and Sarah tried to find a truce unsuccessfully. As things turned bad between them, Xander forcefully took Victoria with him.

Meanwhile, Sarah tried to coerce Philip into testifying against Xander. Tony arrived in town and started strategizing to take back their family business from Titan's takeover. Elsewhere, Sophia gave birth to her baby secretly and dumped it at the fire station. Javi rescued the baby and was granted temporary caretaking of the newborn. The long-running Peacock soap will see these events escalate into bigger problems.

Days of Our Lives: EJ tries desperate measures to save his son

Recently, EJ got himself appointed as Johnny's attorney after the latter was arrested for attempted murder. While all evidence pointed to Johnny, the father believed in Johnny's innocence. As such, he had his assistant deliver the memory card to Belle, which he might have doctored to show Chanel threatening him.

The upcoming episodes will find EJ DiMera trying hard to remember the real shooter to have his son exonerated. Since his memory will continue to evade him, Belle may suggest hypnosis. Whether they plan to employ Marlena's expertise remains to be seen. On the other hand, EJ may consider pointing his finger at another innocent person to save his son.
