On one side is Brady Black, a father desperately trying to protect his daughter from prison; on the other is EJ DiMera, a survivor of a gunshot – and someone who refuses to let “guilt be easily forgiven.”

Both stand in the room where the gunshots once rang out, and for the first time in years, Brady shouts, “We’ve ruined her, EJ!”

EJ, with a cold, sharp gaze, replies, “No, Brady. Kristen did it.”

It’s not just a quarrel between two men – it’s a battle between two generations.

One wants to end the hatred, the other keeps it alive as the only flame keeping him alive.

The plot escalates when EJ files a complaint against Rachel receiving treatment instead of prosecution, stating, “Someone has to pay for the bullet I took.” But when confronted by Rachel in the hospital, the little girl, trembling, apologized and said, “I only wanted to save Mom,” and EJ fell silent – ​​then withdrew the lawsuit.

The episode concludes with EJ looking at a photo of Stefano DiMera, smiling sadly: “Maybe I’m becoming a father myself.” A confession that is both painful and beautiful – showing that Days always knows how to make viewers feel both hatred and sympathy at the same time.
