Days of Our Lives spoilers for the week of June 22 tease some curveballs. We can expect Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) to continue working on opening the chess set. 

Meanwhile, Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) will try to get closer to EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel). Keep reading to find out what is coming up in the Peacock soap opera.

Key Takeaways

• Chad and Belle make progress in solving the mystery surrounding Marlena’s chess set.
• Theo helps Chad uncover a crucial clue involving a secret key.
• EJ plots revenge after learning the truth about Kristen’s role in targeting Johnny.
• Cat attempts to use EJ’s growing feelings to gain information.
• Brady and Liam work together on the overdose investigation as new secrets threaten to explode.

Chad DiMera’s Investigation

Let’s begin with Chad and Belle Black (Martha Madison). The two have joined forces to figure out the chess set that was left to Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall). 

Chad suggested that it meant not “The Pawn,” but “A Pawn.” That leaves them wondering if there was another pawn they don’t know about. 

There is also the mystery about how to open the chess set. It seems Theo Carver (Tyler Joseph Andrews) helps Chad out with a secret key. 

That will have some news for Chad to report back to Belle.

EJ DiMera’s Next Move

Over with EJ, he has learned about Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) trying to have Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) killed. 

Once EJ learns the full story, including how Kristen pushed Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) to such extremes, he will plot revenge.

EJ will also have a problem with Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) finding out that the overdose deaths might be linked to DiMera Pharmaceuticals. 

In addition to all of that, Cat plans on using EJ’s romantic interest in her. The woman thinks EJ will open up more to her if they are involved. 

However, fans know that it could turn very badly very quickly!

Overdose Drug Investigation

Days of Our Lives spoilers for the week of June 22 reveal that Brady will get Liam Selejko’s (Hank Northup) help in the drug investigation. 

However, Ari Horton (Vico Escorcia) has already overheard some telling intel about Liam. So, that could lead to Ari finding out that Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) paid to send Liam away. 

While Gabi’s heart was in the right place, Ari does not like being controlled. This could really damage their mother/daughter relationship.

Plus, Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) is worried about Gwen Rizczech’s (Emily O’Brien) safety. 

As things continue spiraling out of control for EJ, he could certainly strike a lethal blow, so stay tuned!
