Days of our Lives: Marlena Hypnotizes Cat – SHOCKING Hidden Memories Revealed? | Soap Dirt

The trouble with buried secrets is that they have a way of clawing their way back to the surface. Cat Green knows this better than anyone. For weeks now, she has felt the shadow of her past creeping closer, threatening to expose something she cannot even fully remember herself. Something happened in Italy. Something between her and EJ DiMera. And the harder she tries to hold it down, the more insistently it pushes back up.

Which is why she is now standing at the precipice of a decision that could change everything. Hypnosis. A session with Dr. Marina Evans to peel back the layers of her subconscious and retrieve the memories that have been locked away. EJ wants answers. He has been pressing, probing, desperate to understand what transpired between them during those lost weeks of convalescence. And Cat, terrified of what might surface, has been dancing around the question like a woman walking through a minefield.

At first, it seemed like the danger had passed. When Marina attempted hypnosis on EJ, the results were almost laughably anticlimactic. Nothing. A blank slate. EJ had been unconscious for so much of that time in the Italian hospital that his mind simply did not record the memories. There was nothing to retrieve. Cat allowed herself to breathe. She thought the crisis had been averted.

But then EJ made an observation that shifted the ground beneath her feet. If his mind was too damaged during those blackouts to form memories, then hers was not. She had been awake. She had been present. The memories were in there somewhere, buried but intact. And if she submitted to hypnosis, they could be pulled into the light.

Cat agreed. Almost too quickly. When EJ asked, she said yes without hesitation. But agreeing to do something and actually going through with it are two very different things. The question now is whether she will keep her word. Whether she will sit in that chair across from Marina and let the truths rise to the surface. And even if she does, the more dangerous question remains: if something devastating is uncovered, will she tell EJ? Or will she bury it all over again?

This is the web that Cat Green finds herself tangled in. And it is more complicated than anyone realizes.

On the surface, Cat appears to be a straightforward presence in Salem. A financial analyst. She works for Shane Donovan at the ISA, the International Security Alliance. Her job is numbers, spreadsheets, patterns. Clean, orderly, logical. But her current assignment is anything but clean. She has been tasked with investigating EJ DiMera. Specifically, his dealings with the secret lab, his partnership with the elusive Dr. Rolf, and the suspicious circumstances surrounding the resurrection of Lexie Carver.

She has been working alongside FBI agent Ray Fernandez, and together they have been chasing shadows. But the evidence against EJ has been maddeningly thin. They know Lexie was a pod person. They know she came back from the dead. They know Dr. Rolf was conspiring with EJ. But Rolf has vanished, slipped through their fingers like smoke, and without him, the case is crumbling.

The only charge that has stuck is that EJ left Stephanie and Jeremy in the hands of Owen Kent, a man with a wicked streak a mile wide. But even that charge is built on sand. Stephanie and Jeremy never saw EJ during their captivity. Owen Kent was crystal clear in his police testimony: he worked for Dr. Rolf, not EJ DiMera. He never saw EJ. He never took orders from EJ. The chain of command stopped at Rolf.

And then there is the matter of money. Gwen Rizczech was financing the secret lab, not EJ. He was not embezzling funds or siphoning hospital money. The hospital board and the FDA have questions, yes. But with Rolf in the wind, there is no one to point the finger directly at EJ. He worked a miracle for Lexie. He brought a dead woman back to her family. As far as anyone can prove, he did not hurt a single soul.

So the ISA investigation is going nowhere. Rafe, Cat, and Shane are spinning their wheels, chasing a ghost. EJ DiMera, it seems, is going to walk away clean.

But if the professional investigation is stalling, the personal one is just beginning.

Because beneath the surface of their uneasy alliance, something else is stirring. Something that neither Cat nor EJ fully understands. During their time in Italy, recovering side by side in that hospital, they grew close. Closer than either of them remembers. The only fragment that has survived the fog is the image of Cat reading to EJ. A book. A classic. Wuthering Heights. The tragic, tempestuous love story of Heathcliff and Catherine, two souls who
