In the Days of Our Lives episode aired on February 10, 2025, the drama continues to unfold as characters find themselves in high-stakes situations with secrets, confrontations, and hidden agendas.
Jada, trying to prove her innocence, confronts Belle about the growing suspicions surrounding her, questioning where EJ was. Belle claims not to know, but Jada believes she can uncover more and heads off to search for answers. She stumbles upon a hidden tunnel and becomes convinced that EJ is hiding there.
Meanwhile, EJ talks to Rafe, explaining the chaotic events that transpired during the wedding and his actions in “doing Jada a favor” while also keeping Arnold away from her. However, things take a dark turn when EJ puts a gag on Rafe and manages to escape through the secret tunnels, only to be confronted by Jada. She tells him she knew he was up to something, and EJ tries to dismiss her concerns, claiming that the noise they heard was from construction workers. Eventually, Jada follows EJ upstairs but isn’t deterred. She later confronts him about hiring Rafe to dig up dirt on her, with EJ claiming his suspicions were due to the police department’s recent cleared cases. However, he admits to employing Rafe while denying setting Jada up. Jada leaves, but not before vowing to return with handcuffs, reminding him of her earlier loss of the badge and gun.
In an emotional scene, Belle shows up just as Jada is leaving and lashes out at EJ for his treatment of Jada. Though EJ denies being responsible for Jada’s predicament, the tension remains. Afterward, EJ and Belle share a kiss before he returns to the tunnels, revealing his true intentions. Rafe then arrives and questions what EJ meant, only to be met with an ominous injection.
Meanwhile, at the police station, Paulina discusses her decision to appoint Rafe as the new commissioner with Shawn, while also addressing Jada’s accusations. Shawn expresses his belief in Jada’s innocence, but Paulina insists that the investigation must continue.
Back at Aremid, a tense reunion occurs between Kristen and her mother, the Woman in White, as Ava interrupts their conversation about Rachel.

After a tense exchange, the Woman in White takes Ava away, but not before hinting at a more permanent solution to get rid of her. Kristen, conflicted, eventually tells her mother that Ava’s kidnapping cannot continue, but the Woman in White insists on keeping her plans intact.
Later, in a shocking twist, EJ arrives at Aremid with a body bag, revealing Rafe unconscious inside. This leaves fans wondering just how deep EJ’s involvement in these dangerous schemes goes.
