Johnny, Chanel, Tate, and Sophia talked about the baby. Chanel was happy when she found out that Sophia said that she led Sunday School class. Johnny got uncomfortable with the lie. Tate understood if they changed their minds about adopting the baby, but Johnny and Chanel wanted to go through with it. Gabi had the DNA results and ran into Jada. They looked at the test results and realized the person at the house wasn’t Rafe. Jada realized that the man she was about to marry wasn’t Rafe. Gabi thought the switch happened when EJ hired Rafe. Jada thought she was right but said it didn’t prove that Arnold was the one who impersonated Rafe. She wanted to prove he was Arnold before they moved forward with anything. Gabi thought EJ was the other person who could answer their questions. Jada remembered seeing EJ in the tunnels and hearing voices. Paulina went to the DiMera mansion to talk to EJ. She thought about rehiring him as the D.A. Paulina said that Ava named him as an accessory to her kidnapping. EJ couldn’t believe the accusation. She also told him about his involvement in switching Rafe with Arnold. He tried another tactic with her. EJ threatened to expose how corrupt the police department and D.A.’s office are. The accusations would hurt her chance of getting re-elected. Johnny and Chanel arrived home and heard Paulina insulting EJ. Paulina told them that they were arguing about his old job. Johnny and Chanel told them about meeting with Sophia’s mother and that they had to be a supportive, Christian family. Chanel wanted them to get along for Amy’s sake. Paulina and EJ promised they would get along. Amy and Sophia arrived at the mansion.

Everyone at the DiMera mansion got acquainted with each other. Amy knew Nicole, and they were active with their daughter’s activities. She wondered if Nicole was going to be at the meeting. EJ informed her that they were divorced. Paulina said that Nicole was enjoying her life in Paris to get a dig in at EJ. EJ returned the favor by saying that Nicole moved on with a defrocked priest. Johnny walked in the room after he made the statement. He hoped that Sophia and Tate’s baby will be the one that helped his family with Chanel grow. Amy didn’t want to rush with her decision and wanted to get to know everyone better. Chanel walked in the room wearing a black dress and a cross. Tate had cookies from Sweet Bits. Amy didn’t like the name of the bakery. Chanel told her that the name never occurred to her. Amy asked Chanel questions about her necklace. She asked EJ about his family history. EJ told her about his history, and Amy seemed okay with it. Jada and Gabi stormed into the mansion. Gabi demanded to know where her brother was. Jada demanded answers from EJ. Johnny wanted to know what happened. Gabi announced that EJ kidnapped her brother and replaced him with Arnold. Johnny was confused because he thought Arnold was dead. Jada let everyone know that a DNA test was done and Rafe was swapped out months ago. Johnny wanted EJ to tell him that what happened wasn’t true especially after what Arnold did to his mother. EJ swore he didn’t do it. Jada wanted Johnny to show her the tunnels. EJ reminded her that she couldn’t search the tunnels without a warrant. Jada told him that she didn’t need a warrant since she’s not a cop. Johnny showed Jada the tunnels. Everyone looked at each other uncomfortably while everything happened. Tate thought they should meet another day, but EJ insisted they stay at the mansion. He thought Jada wouldn’t find anything in the tunnels. Chanel heard Johnny warn EJ that he better not be involved with the man who raped his mother. Jada came back from the tunnels and said she didn’t find anything. Jada and Gabi weren’t through with him. They stormed out of the mansion. Amy was ready to go. Paulina told her that EJ’s actions weren’t a reflection on Johnny and Chanel. Amy didn’t have time to listen to what she had to say. Sophia and Tate followed Amy out of the mansion. Chanel started crying when she realized that it would be tough to adopt Sophia’s baby. Tate and Sophia begged Amy to let them adopt the baby. He said that Jada and Gabi didn’t find anything. Sophia reminded her mother that Jada was a corrupt cop. Amy was done and didn’t want to step foot in the mansion again. Johnny yelled at his father for destroying his chance of adopting. EJ let her know that Jada and Gabi’s accusations were baseless. He swore he wasn’t holding Rafe hostage. Johnny remembered running into Rafe, and he seemed clueless. He wondered if Arnold was there the entire time. EJ thought Arnold must have replaced himself with Rafe which was why he wanted to investigate Jada. Johnny hoped EJ was telling the truth about that. If he lied, he would never see Johnny, Chanel or their family again.

Ava told what happened so the police knew who helped with the kidnapping. Kristen said she had a card up her sleeve. Rita sat with Rafe. She checked his vitals and assumed he would be fine. When the serum got in his system he could go back to his life. He might be able to get Jada back. EJ arrived in the room and talked about the plan to wipe out Rafe’s memories of what happened to him. Rita wondered how Rafe could go back to his life, and EJ said they had to get rid of Arnold. EJ let her know that the plan wasn’t his idea. Arnold showed up and knocked Rafe out. Getting his job back as the DA would be hard for him. He might be able to do it without swapping them out. Rita left to take care of Arnold.

Kristen told him that her mother wasn’t mentally stable and dealt with enough. Brady said she could talk to her mother in the interrogation room. No one was in the interrogation room.
