In the January 30, 2025, episode of Days of Our Lives, EJ DiMera took great pleasure in tormenting Rafe Hernandez, who was being held captive in the DiMera tunnels. EJ paid a visit to the bound Rafe, bringing along a birthday hat and a muffin, further mocking him while revealing details about Jada Hunter and the wedding that was about to take place. EJ went on to describe how the ceremony between Jada and the imposter, Arnold Feniger, would unfold, making Rafe’s blood boil. EJ made it clear that his plan for Jada didn’t stop at just the wedding—he intended to ruin her life. His goal was to have her ousted as a cop, a move that would lead to Paulina hiring Arnold as the new police commissioner and EJ taking over as District Attorney.
However, EJ's cruel manipulation backfired when Rafe, in a fit of rage, managed to overpower him and escape from captivity. As the episode ended, the tension built as viewers were left wondering whether Rafe would make it to the wedding in time to stop the disaster.
Meanwhile, Jada had her own concerns as she confided in Stephanie about the strange behavior of the man she believed to be Rafe. Stephanie reassured her, attributing the unease to pre-wedding jitters and drawing on her own experience with cold feet. She also reminded Jada of her first marriage to Everett, who struggled with disassociative identity disorder, assuring her that this wedding would be different.
Elsewhere in Salem, drama continued to unfold. At the recent bachelor and bachelorette parties, Arnold Feniger lied to Jada about being superstitious and not wanting to see her before the wedding. Instead, he spent the night with Savannah, a stripper, at the Salem Inn. When Rafe’s cousin Javi found out about the betrayal, he was furious. In upcoming episodes, viewers will discover if Javi reveals Arnold’s secret to Jada.
With so many twists and turns unfolding, it’s clear that the wedding will not go as planned. Will Rafe make it back in time to expose the truth? Fans will have to stay tuned to find out.
