Lani Gets a Huge Surprise on Days of Our Lives
Lani and Eli share a sweet kiss after missing Chanel’s baby shower. Eli admits he missed out on a lot. But Lani tells him, “Let’s just say everyone had a good time.” He would have loved to see it all happen. Additionally, Lani is glad she did not have to make any arrests. In fact, she could not even if she wanted to.
Lani then explains that she told her mom to reach out to the governor. However, he said no to a pardon. Because of this, Lani worries about how she will explain everything to Jules and Carver when they get older. Eli assures her that he will always be there for her, and he reminds her how much he loves her.
Later, Lani gets a phone call from her mom with shocking news. The governor saw all the supportive comments from Leo’s podcast, so he changed his mind. As a result, he is granting her a full pardon! Lani is all smiles as she and Eli hug.
EJ Asks Cat to Help Investigate Dominic Marino
Meanwhile, Cat returns EJ’s laptop, company key, and other belongings. She explains that she would have come sooner, but she had to make copies first due to ISA protocols. She is about to leave, but EJ stops her because he does not want her to go.
He admits that he felt completely blindsided when she quit so suddenly. Furthermore, he is beginning to realize that she might be the only person in his life who has not violated his trust.
EJ opens up about Johnny turning him in to the police. On top of that, he explains that Johnny is not the only person who let him down. Rita is another one, and he finds it shocking that she lied to him about something so important. “Everything that I thought I knew, that I understood about my life, has been turned on its head,” EJ says.
He admits he does not know who to trust, which is why he wants Cat by his side. Specifically, he wants her expertise as a former ISA analyst to help figure out if Dominic Marino is really his half-brother.
Cat claims she no longer has access to ISA resources, but EJ insists she has the skills to get the job done. “I’ve missed you, Cat, and I want you back in my life… not just as my assistant… as my friend and maybe more,” he tells her. Cat admits she misses him too, and the two share a kiss right in front of Stefano’s portrait!
