As Leo Starts Putting the Pieces Together, the Trapped DiMeras Discover… Human Remains!
Tony’s getting some shut-eye while the other Crypt Keepers bicker over whether EJ’s behind all of this. (Here’s why it could be him?)Chad and Theo decide the only way out is up (what kind of crypt is this with a diggable floor and flimsy ceiling?), which ends with a dropped Kristen rolling around on the ground with a sprained ankle.
She curses them out, then moves on to Rachel and that starts the bickering up all over again, which annoys the hell out of Theo. He gets them back on track on getting out, being, apparently, the only one to think of using the easily removable candle holders to dig with instead of bare hands.

Is Susan On to Cat?
Susan walks in just as EJ and Cat are about to lock lips, horrified. EJ’s not sure what he was thinking, but Cat is! He was drugged. She runs out when he says he wasn’t feeling well and EJ tells Susan about his missing family. But he’s fine.
Susan’s more worried that EJ’s behind it all, though. He insists he didn’t, so Susan tells him Cat might have. There’s “something off about that girl.” Pish posh! EJ brushes Susan’s worries aside.

<p>Then he gets a summons, which pulls him away fast, leaving Susan to witness Dr. Rolf sneaking out of the tunnels. Whoops! He grabs some water, evades her questions about what he’s doing down there and slinks back into the tunnels.</p>
<h2>Will Rafe Take Cat Off the Case?</h2>
<p>Rafe’s on the phone with Jada to figure out security for the remaining DiMeras, when Javi walks in and hears him mention Trey. Rafe fills his cousin in on the mystery, assuring him there’s no direct threat to Trey.</p>
<p>And then, surprise! Cat drops by. Sweet, sweet, naive Javi buys her excuse about dropping off a gift card for taking care of Trey, then leaves to find Leo. Cat rushes into the whole drugging EJ business, which Rafe… does not take well.</p>
<p>She insists her plan was perfect and she even found a cot in the wine room! With men’s shoes. Who’s hiding there?</p>
<h2>Can Leo Figure Out What EJ’s Doing?</h2>
<p>Gwen walks up behind Leo in the pub as he’s trying to write a story about Chad missing. She’s surprisingly worried, so Leo suggests teaming up to find Chad — which Gwen thinks is a horrible idea. But she pauses when Leo says EJ’s probably behind it, thinking back to them making Dimitri vanish.</p>
<p>But EJ didn’t do it, she declares and storms out. Javi drops in and tells Leo about Theo and the guys get right to worrying about Trey. That’s it, Leo decides, time to corner EJ. He decides to check out the gala footage of EJ and Gwen arguing (shockingly, being the first to realize Kristen may not have escaped after all) and realizes the two may be partners in crime.</p>
