Biggest bombshell! Full Episode 05/08/2025 Days of Our Lives: Kristen Exposes Johnny’s Ultimate Betrayal!

The episode opens with a tense and calculated meeting between EJ DiMera and Dr. Jeffrey Russell at the DiMera mansion. Dr. Russell, the key player in the development of the life-saving drug Versix,

is caught in a web of both opportunity and danger. As EJ unveils his covert plan, it becomes clear that he intends to not only buy the hospital where Dr. Russell works but to take

over its entire operation. His goal? To control the lab that holds the secrets to Versix, a drug that could save lives — including that of Bo Brady, whose health continues to decline.

EJ’s smug demeanor and calculated words reveal his ambition as he outlines how the purchase will not only make him a powerful force in Salem but will also make him and Dr. Russell incredibly wealthy. The good doctor, however, shows signs of unease. Though the deal offers potential, there’s something unsettling about aligning himself with the DiMeras, who are known for their ruthless methods. As Dr. Russell grows more wary, whispers of sabotage begin to surface. Could EJ’s smooth confidence be hiding deeper complications? The tension between these two is palpable, and it’s clear that the stakes are high, not just for Bo Brady but for everyone involved in this dangerous game.
