This week’s biggest drama isn’t about love, but the moral battle within the DiMera family.

Peter Blake, the troubled heir, lies in a deep coma after the brawl at the DiMera cemetery, and the one facing the life-or-death decision is EJ.

When the doctor announces Peter may never wake up, EJ coldly orders: “Remove the ventilator.

He’s already caused enough damage.” The words leave the entire family speechless.

Belle bursts into tears, Kristen throws a glass to the ground, and Chad yells: “You have no right to be God!”

The scene in the ICU is one of the film’s climaxes: white lights, the sound of the heart monitor interspersed with arguments. EJ, with a tense expression, says this is the only way for the DiMera family to find peace. But Rafe and Jada – who were investigating the attack – insisted on keeping Peter alive for questioning.

At the end of the episode, EJ stands alone by Peter’s bedside, watching him breathe weakly, then whispers, “If you wake up, you’ll kill more people.” His hand trembles as he touches the ventilator switch. The screen goes dark, the heart monitor beeps – then stops.

The question left behind sent the fandom into a frenzy: Did EJ really kill Peter? Or was it just a trick by the editors before everything exploded in the new year?
