Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Will Cat’s Latest ISA Plot Finally Be the Scheme That Takes Down EJ?
Tensions in Salem are reaching a boiling point as personal vendettas and undercover schemes collide. According to Days of Our Lives spoilers for Tuesday, September 29, 2026, Xander Kiriakis is on an absolute warpath to defend Sarah Horton from all enemies, placing EJ DiMera directly in his sights. As Xander unleashes his fury, secret operatives, concerned sons, and unlikely alliances are reshaping the balance of power across town.
Xander Go After EJ to Protect Sarah
The explosive conflict centers on Sarah Horton, who finds herself at the center of a public nightmare. Destiny’s parents take to local television to publicly accuse Sarah of causing their daughter’s tragic death. While it remains a mystery who in Salem is giving airtime to cover such a story, the public spectacle leaves Sarah deeply distraught.
When Sarah is upset, Xander’s fiercely protective instincts kick into overdrive. Believing that EJ is the mastermind pulling the strings behind Sarah’s latest ordeal, Xander refuses to stand by. While Brady Black steps up to offer a comforting shoulder for Sarah to lean on, Xander marches straight to EJ and starts screaming. However, EJ is not one to back down easily and works to fend off Xander’s furious assault, setting up a battle over who truly has Sarah’s best interests at heart.
Cat Unveils Her Latest Strategy to Rafe
Meanwhile, the high-stakes game of cat and mouse surrounding EJ continues on another front. EJ previously confronted Cat about her connection to the ISA, only for Cat to remind him that she was actually the person who disclosed her background to him in the first place.
Following their intense encounter, Cat meets up with Rafe Hernandez to lay out her next move. She fills Rafe in on yet another strategic plan designed to bring down EJ once and for all. Cat feels confident that this new scheme is going to work, though Rafe may have his doubts about whether she truly knows what she is doing as she pushes forward with her mission.
Johnny Attempts Damage Control as Chanel Targets Gabi
Over at the DiMera mansion, Johnny DiMera is dealing with the fallout of his father’s ruthless behavior. Aware of several bad deeds EJ has committed—even if he cannot process the full scope of EJ’s actions—Johnny feels compelled to step in and fix the worst of the damage his father has inflicted.
However, Johnny’s efforts at damage control might not align with what his wife has in mind. Chanel Dupree has her own distinct plan to handle the situation, and her strategy involves reaching out to Gabi Hernandez. Chanel prepares to make a unexpected offer to Gabi, signaling that she is ready to take matters into her own hands.
Philip and Leo Join Forces in an Unlikely Alliance
Tuesday’s episode also delivers a surprising dynamic as Philip Kiriakis and Leo Stark cross paths. The two men come to realize they have more in common than they originally thought—starting with the fact that both tend to believe they are far more competent than they actually are.
Recognizing that two heads might be better than one, Philip and Leo decide to join forces. By working together, the unusual duo hopes they can finally dredge up some hard-to-find answers to the mysteries surrounding them.
Will Xander’s fiery confrontation push EJ into retaliating against Sarah, or can Cat’s latest undercover scheme finally bring the ruthless DiMera down?
