Days of Our Lives stuns as Tate Black (Leo Howard) wants to bring down Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) once and for all. Little does Tate know, Sophia is not just her usual brand of nuts right now. She is also plotting to murder Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) in cold blood.
So, the question is, could one little fingerprint help Tate thwart Sophia’s attempt to murder Johnny? We know that Tate cannot wait to put Sophia behind bars or back in Bayview where she belongs. So, let’s dive in.
Tate Wants Sophia Behind Bars on Days of Our Lives
Not long ago, Tate told his dad turned private eye Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) that he needed help getting intel on Sophia to nail her for the pill swap. So Brady gave Tate very specific instructions on how to prepare a soda bottle to get Sophia’s fingerprints on it with nobody else’s.
That way Brady and the police can have them compared to the ones on Holly Jonas‘ (Ashley Puzemis) supplement bottle. So, Tate was able to get Sophia’s prints on the bottle, but so far Brady told Tate that they haven’t gotten the results back. It’s kind of crazy because they have tech now where you can scan a fingerprint digitally at a crime scene for an immediate ID, but it’s Salem, so you know, we got ’90s tech.
Tate is hoping that Sophia isn’t going to get away with what she’s done and that she’ll get busted for poisoning Holly. And hopefully Sophia’s sent to Statesville next time because she’s just a straight-up criminal. And she’s had it in for Holly since high school. But you kind of understand what happened there because Tate was secretly dating Holly while publicly acting like he likes Sophia. Even asked her to the prom. And honestly, Tate and Holly really used Sophia and Aaron Green (Louis Tomeo) they could sneak around behind their parents’ back and they hurt both of them.
Sophia Went Way Too Far on DOOL
So, all that said, nothing that Holly and Tate did justifies the super shady stuff that Sophia pulled. From the fake baby belly to the phony adoption papers and sending those dirty photos of Holly to Johnny, just to name a few crimes. Holly wasn’t even safe from Sophia when she was in Bayview.
Because that’s when Holly’s unhinged former bestie got the bottle of supplements and then Sophia switched the vitamins with her psychiatric meds. That stunt by Sophia led Holly to just go off the deep end. And then Sophia planned to keep it going because she sent that other bottle of swapped supplements so that Holly would keep unraveling. And in the end, Sophia could have done serious long-term damage to Holly with this horrible stunt.
Sophia Playing The Victim on Days
But as usual, Sophia does not care when she causes damage to anybody else. Of course, Tate’s mad because Holly was drugged. And then Tate himself wound up drugged also. And even worse, his little sister Rachel Black (Lorelie Olivia Mote)
wound up being sent back to Bayview. And that’s because she was the initial suspect in the supplement swap. So understandably, Tate is out of patience with Sophia. And this week, Tate ran into Sophia in the square, told her to stay away from Holly or else. And Sophia, of course, played the victim card, and she told Tate that Holly was spreading lies about her on the Salem University campus. I mean, if anything, she might be spreading truths, right?
And Sophia then claimed that Holly said she wanted her dead. So, we saw that Tate was skeptical. He doesn’t believe anything Sophia says. And Tate made it clear no matter what Holly said or didn’t say, Sophia needs to leave Holly alone. But Sophia does not seem intimidated. And of course, Tate has no idea that his little sister Rachel’s mom, wicked Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) has ordered Sophia to kill Johnny.
Kristen Wants Revenge On EJ
This is about Kristen wanting revenge on EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) because she still blames her brother for Rachel being sent to Bayview. Kristen actually lays full blame on EJ for his own shooting because he kidnapped her mom, Rachel Blake (Ros Gentle). But of course, Kristen could have hidden her mom away instead of agreeing to leave her in Salem to testify against EJ. There were options that could have prevented all this from happening, but you know, Kristen’s nuttier than pecan pie.
So, we could see Brady getting the results of Sophia’s fingerprint scan very soon. And I think in the meantime, Tate may be keeping an eye on Sophia. I could see Tate low-key stalking Sophia in his spare time to make sure she stays away from Holly. And Tate may do that, you know, just until they get evidence to put Sophia away. But at the same time, a clock is running out for Johnny because Kristen wants Sophia to do a quick, quiet job ASAP with no mess.
Kristen Determined to Destroy EJ on Days of Our Lives
So, Kristen called Sophia this week after she offered Xander Cook (Paul Telfer) that shady bargain to help take down EJ. Basically, it looks like Kristen is trying to make deals all over Salem with everybody. She wants to make sure that EJ goes down and she’s not going to stop. And of course, that’s what killing Johnny is about in Kristen’s twisted mind. Rachel being at Bayview means that EJ’s son needs to die.
Kristen Making Deals All Over Salem
So, Kristen is working with Xander to help destroy EJ. And of course, he cares less about the guy and more about taking down DiMera, which Kristen may not even care about at this point. Plus, she also offered a bargain to Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) to help him take down EJ, unaware that Rafe’s already got this double deep investigation going on her brother.
And then after plotting with Xander, we saw Kristen called Sophia and Kristen told her she’s got to take care of Johnny the next day because Chanel Dupree DiMera‘s (Raven Bowens) busy all day. Sophia tried to say she’s not ready, but Kristen’s not hearing it. And she demanded Sophia take the kill shot without emotion and said, “Do it clean and fast.”
Could Tate Stop The Murder on Days?
But I think that Kristen is overestimating the college killer that she hired. Because let’s be real, while Sophia has done some dodgy stuff before, it’s mostly lying and fraud and, you know, misdemeanor stuff. She’s never tried to murder somebody in cold blood.
So, it could be her own anxiety about killing Johnny that thwarts the murder plan that Kristen has cooked up. Or it could be that Tate intervenes. You know, either the fingerprint data comes in and they can arrest Sophia. That would stop the murder attempt for sure. Or maybe Tate’s keeping an eye on Sophia and spots her lurking around and getting ready to do something bad to Johnny and he intervenes.
Days of Our Lives: Sophia Takes a Shot?
So, Tate could prevent psycho Sophia from killing Johnny just out of sheer dumb luck if he follows her around watching for suspicious behavior. But since Sophia is really scared of Kristen and terrified she’s going to do something bad to her because Rachel was sent back to Bayview because of the supplement stunt that Sophia did, I think that she’s going to have to at least try to kill Johnny.
And in the end, Carson Boatman is not supposed to exit Days of Our Lives until late this year. If you remember, he and Raven Bowens, who plays Chanel, along with Leo Howard, who plays Tate, and Ashley Puzemis, who plays Holly, were all fired right when they came back in January from their holiday break, which is kind of a crappy holiday gift, right? Not a Christmas bonus when you get a pink slip.
So, no matter what happens with this, Johnny’s not going to die either because Tate thwarts Sophia or she messes it up when she’s trying to take him out. She chickens out. In the end, I think Johnny’s going to live to fight another day. But, of course, Kristen may just order Sophia to try, try again.
