Now we know who set up EJ (Read 195 times)

[MrsM]

At the end of today's episode we see flashbacks from Ian of planting the bullets and gloves in EJ's apartment. What does everyone think about this?

[mae00]

That was way too predictable and a waste of a possibly good arc to the storyline to bring Steve back.

No shock & awe factor at all. We were calling this the moment it was revealed that Stefano had been shot.

There could have been more interesting choices, and since we (spoiler alert!) know Ian is leaving the show, it's kind of blah.

Can I also mention (only slightly off track) I am infuriated that Madison wouldn't trust that Ian was drugging Brady, since she knows full well that Ian is capable of that and worse (obv!). Madison is the worst gf ever- she lies about being married to another man, then gives up on Brady at the first sign of trouble. Laaaame.

I'm disappointed but not surprised. I guess I'm more disappointed that there's no suspense or surprise. B-O-R-I-N-G!!!

[MrsM]

This was so obvious and predictable. There is nothing dynamic about it at all.

[fluffysmom]

I wonder if we will find out his motive. It may have changed with the change in writers. So I wonder if Ian is the one who shot Stefano. I've suspected that all along.

[Trey]

Surprised, no.

Expected yes.

Do I care? Well, let's see...if it gets Ian and Madison off the screen, then I'm okay with it.

Though, hard to believe that all mighty and powerful Stephano would be taken out by someone swarmy like Ian. I was hoping that Hope was taking her sleeping pills again, Marlena grew a conscious to finish the job she started a while ago, or that Caroline decided to take the man out who had been terrorizing her family for so long (esp. because she discovered that EJ is really Roman's child). I'm really looking for a good twist.

I think Sami believes EJ is being set up. She figures that he's too smart to keep those gloves in his apartment.

That would make sense if he's planting evidence that he's the killer. But there could be another twist. Maybe he's in cahoots with Madison and Madison shot Stefano. Or... he drugged Brady and got Brady to kill Stefano, but Brady doesn't even remember doing it.

[mae00]

At this point, I don't think that Madison is smart enough to know how to pull a trigger.

I figure ian's reasoning is that he wants to be head of 2 of the most powerful companies. He snuck his way in at Titan, and now with Stefano gone, he can find a way to sneak into Dimera.

[Trey]

What I don't get is why anyone would think EJ was dumb enough to hide his gloves rather than get rid of them or destroy them. I mean, really? He's a DiMera, they're a lot more careful than that.

[MrsM]

Plus he is super interested in Kate's papers regarding Stefano's estate. I am guessing he will use that and his relationship with Kate to get what he wants.

[Kpatch]

I'm going to speculate that John cracks the case. Roman and Bo will stripped of their badges for being bozos, and they'll be sent to some deserted island to solve crimes there.

No kidding. If he was keeping them for some reason it would be better to hide them in DiMansion than his apartment. There are plenty of secret places to stash things at DiMansion. He should have burned them or thrown them in the river.
