Lexie’s DAYS Comeback Could Trigger a Devastating Dark Twist
On Days of our Lives, EJ showed Paulina Lexie’s very much living body as if it were something good, hopeful, or explainable if you looked at it the right way. But Paulina didn’t see a miracle. She saw a warning instead and asked, “What if she wakes up and she’s not her?” That question didn’t hang in the air for long. It came crashing down immediately because Salem has been here before in different ways, and it’s never simple. Bringing someone back from the dead isn’t just about getting them breathing again. It’s about what comes back with them.
- EJ presents Lexie’s return as a miracle, but Paulina sees it as a warning, questioning whether Lexie will truly be the same person.
- Salem’s history suggests resurrection never comes without consequences.
- Stories like Pet Sematary highlight the danger of something returning “wrong.”
- Salem’s history of supernatural deals implies that any miracle likely comes with a cost.
- EJ believes he’s fixing something, but the consequences may already be in motion.
Not Everything That Comes Back Is the Same
There’s a reason stories about resurrection rarely end well. Pet Sematary didn’t bring people back; it brought something wearing their faces. That’s the part Salem is dealing with now, whether anyone wants to admit it or not. EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) calling it a miracle doesn’t make it one.
This is where it veers into Frankenstein territory. The issue isn’t whether you can bring someone back, but whether you should. Because once you do, you’re dealing with something you might not fully understand. And in Salem, where the Devil has already taken people over without much resistance, that risk doesn’t seem hypothetical.
Paulina (Jackee Harry) sensed it immediately. That instinct is crucial, because this isn’t just about Lexie (Nikki Crawford) opening her eyes. It’s about whether the person behind them is still the same. (Find out how Feuerriegel feels EJ crossed a line.)
Salem Never Leaves That Door Closed
Even when resurrection doesn’t become monstrous, it’s not without impact. The Lazarus Effect, the rare, spontaneous return of cardiac activity after failed CPR efforts have ended and a patient has been declared dead, didn’t just revive someone; it transformed them. It heightened something darker, something that wasn’t there before. That’s the risk lurking beneath this.
There’s also a quieter version of it, the kind The Crow explored. Returning with unfinished business, with something unresolved that refuses to stay buried. Not evil, not exactly, but not whole either. That kind of return changes everything around it.
