While Chanel is in pain and Johnny struggles to clear his name, Sophia Choi is the one pulling the strings behind everything.

She is the one who used Holly’s phone to send shady photos to Johnny’s phone, and secretly released the letter that caused the adoption to be canceled.

Sophia’s seemingly perfect plan begins to falter when obvious signs appear.

In the following episodes, the audience will see Sophia lose control, panicking to cover up her tracks, and trying to find ways to stop someone from finding out the truth.

Sophia has always shown a cold, confident appearance, but this time, fear makes her lose her composure. She is afraid that Holly will remember something, worried that Maggie or Tate will find clues, worried that Johnny will trace back the unusual messages. Once exposed, Sophia knows she will lose everything – honor, power, and even the fragile relationship with the people around her.

The plot gets more dramatic when Sophia is at risk of being betrayed by her “ally”. If Holly comes to her senses and denounces, the whole plot will collapse immediately. Viewers can expect scenes of Sophia gasping for breath in the dark, trying to delete phone data, or confronting someone with evidence. In the world of Days of Our Lives, villains always have to run, but the more they run, the more traces they leave. And Sophia – no matter how smart she is – cannot avoid this spiral.
