As Leo interrupts the wedding, Javi quickly stops him, insisting he should be the one to reveal the secret. Before he can, Arnold—posing as Rafe—dramatically announces that he can’t marry Jada. The guests react in shock as Jada pulls him aside for answers.
Meanwhile, at the police station, Belle thanks Shawn for testifying, acknowledging that he missed the wedding. They discuss the previous night, and Shawn admits he could have done without Chanel kissing him—though at least they didn’t sleep together, unlike Belle and EJ. Belle insists it was a mistake, but Shawn isn’t convinced, suggesting she’s in denial. Before leaving, Belle asks what’s in the folder he just opened, but Shawn is too stunned by its contents to respond.
Back at the wedding, Paulina demands an explanation. “Rafe” confesses he wasn’t hired to find Sloan—his investigation was actually about Jada. EJ, desperate to reclaim his DA position, paid him to dig up dirt on her. He originally assumed it was easy money, expecting to find nothing. However, the deeper he looked, the more troubling inconsistencies emerged—evidence tampering, improper warrants, and a disturbing pattern of misconduct.
Jada denies the allegations, demanding proof. Before Shawn can hand over the dossier, Paulina intercepts it. Devastated, Jada questions how Rafe could do this to her. He insists it’s for the best, as she’s now under investigation. Paulina, as mayor, has no choice but to call off the wedding. Despite Stephanie and Steve’s protests, Jada is taken in for questioning.
At the DiMera mansion, EJ anxiously texts Arnold, reminding him to play the role of a tormented groom. Just then, Belle storms in, furious over Shawn’s accusations. EJ smirks, asking if she’s there for an apology. She clarifies she wants to figure out how to manage their situation before it blows up—if Sami finds out, all hell will break loose.
Back at the wedding, Gabi confronts “Rafe,” demanding answers. He refuses to leave with her, needing time to process. Alone with Leo and Javi, he feigns heartbreak over Jada’s alleged deception. Sensing something is off, Javi pivots to accuse him of cheating with a stripper. Arnold, agitated, brushes it off, claiming his life is now in ruins.
At the police station, Jada pleads with Paulina, insisting she only wanted to carry on Rafe’s legacy as commissioner. She’s shattered that the man who claimed to love her also sought to destroy her career. Meanwhile, Javi and Leo debate whether to reveal “Rafe’s” infidelity. Ultimately, Leo shrugs—it no longer matters. Rafe betrayed Jada twice in one day; she dodged a bullet.
Paulina orders Shawn to take Jada into the interrogation room to go through the evidence. As Steve, Kayla, and Stephanie gather at the pub, Steve grimly states, “This has EJ DiMera’s fingerprints all over it.”
In his room, EJ shares a playful moment with Belle before receiving a text from Arnold confirming the plan’s success. With a satisfied smirk, EJ replies, offering congratulations. Arnold, back in his hotel room, smiles at the message—everything has gone exactly as planned.
