Days of our Lives: Dr Rolf Walks Away – EJ Scores Fresh Crazy Genius – Could It Be [SPOILER]?

Days of Our Lives just saw Wilhelm Rolf (Richard Wharton) sneak back to Salem to offer his boss EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) condolences on Lexie Carver (Nikki Crawford)’s death, and he tells EJ that his Frankenstein days of resurrecting people are over.

So, will EJ turn to a mad scientist in training to continue the rebirth research? Or has EJ also learned his lesson? Let’s get into the nitty-gritty details about Wilhelm Rolf’s supposed retirement and what that could mean for EJ and also who’s in those glowing tubes.

Lexie’s Family Devastatedon  Days of Our Lives

Now, let’s dive right in. So, last week, the DiMera family suffered a staggering loss when Wilhelm Rolf and EJ’s latest back from the dead project, Lexie Carver, passed away. EJ had funded Wilhelm Rolf’s work to bring back Lexie after she was presumed dead for 15 years.

And with Mark Greene’s (Jonah Robinson) help in the lab, Rolf was able to make EJ and the late Stefano DiMera (Joseph Mascolo)’s fondest wish come true, and they brought her back. Sadly, the miracle serum stopped working in the lab rats and also in Lexie.

And Rolf even tried administering a second dose of magic juice to help Lexie. But that didn’t work. And then a third dose.  So, Rolf swore to EJ that his work with bringing back the dead is done. Rolf no longer wants to help EJ with his resurrection projects.

And in a recent episode, we saw Rolf tell three unknown people in the human-sized pods to rest in peace before he shut off the lab lights. Then Rolf walked away. Now Days fans are wondering who Rolf has stashed in those tubes.

Rita’s Latest Scheme on DOOL

Now first we know that EJ’s henchwoman Rita Lesley (Maggie Carney) put Develin St. John (John Oliver), the weird water guy, in one of the person tubes instead of killing him as EJ ordered. And Rita drugged EJ to facilitate it. If you remember, Rita gave EJ the forgetfulness drugs, CRS17, and told him it was cold and flu medicine.

So, Rita made sure that EJ wouldn’t remember what happened with the water inspector. So, one of those pods may contain Develin, who is sleeping and dreaming about his pet ferrets. However, I actually don’t think it’s the water guy in there. Because Rita had him in a room with just a single pod and she was planning to immediately ship Develin off.

She said he was going to paradise. Maybe that meant frozen and dreaming or maybe shipped off to one of the DiMera Islands to enjoy a timeout in safety where EJ won’t ever see him again. And then we caught a glimpse of Rolf this week walking a sheet-covered person on a gurney through the halls of the hospital.

EJ watched Rolf go by and kind of gave a nod. So, I suspect that might have been him taking Lexie back to cold storage. We saw that her hospital room was empty when Abe Carver (James Reynolds) and Theo Carver (Tyler Joseph Andrews) read her letters that EJ brought for them.

Days of our Lives: Abigail Deveraux Returning?

So, he may have ordered Rolf to take Lexie and put her back in a person pod, hoping that down the road they can try to revive her again. You know, despite Rolf saying he was out of the resurrection business. And of course, EJ was devastated to lose his sister twice now, so he may be grasping at straws.

He knows Theo and Abe are heartbroken, so there’s a chance EJ might try to bring her back at some point, although it seems cruel. But the question is, who else is in the person pods? Many fans suspect that Abigail Deveraux (Marci Miller) is in one of those tubes. So, EJ could be waiting for the right time to bring Chad DiMera (Connor Floyd)’s dead wife back to life.

But I also wonder if Clyde Weston (James Read) did something with her after he stabbed her. So, maybe she’s there, maybe she’s not. And if you recall, Chad begged Rolf to use the miracle serum on Abigail right after she was stabbed to death. But the mad scientist told Chad Abigail was too far gone and she’d lost too much blood to bring back with his serum.

But we also know that she’s not in the grave. You know, Jack and Chad had her exhumed and there’s nothing there. So, maybe Rolf stored Abigail in one of those pods in case they are able to stabilize her. You know, they might be keeping Abigail on ice while working on more advanced resurrection serums that might be able to bring her back alive and well. You know, she may already be somewhere alive and well. We’ll see.

Peter Blake Coming Back on Days?

Another option for who’s in one of those person pods is Peter Blake (Dan Gauthier), Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk)’s brother. Remember Peter was recovering from, I think, hitting his head, getting hit in the head in the crypt, and then Rolf slipped in and gave Peter an injection, and then he died suddenly. This was after he kidnapped the DiMeras, remember?

But Rolf might have injected Peter with something to make him look dead and then wheeled him out and put him in a big old test tube for later use or experimentation or revenge. Even though he turned against the family, Peter was still considered Stefano DiMera’s (Joseph Mascolo) son.

And Rolf’s always been loyal to his late boss and all of his children. And then later this week, we’re going to see EJ frantic on the phone trying to get Rita to do something about George O’Halloran and the Coriseal situation. As I mentioned, Rita used CRS17 on Develin St. John and put him in a tube.

Meanwhile, Mr. O’Halloran, the head of DiMera Pharmaceuticals, was drunkenly telling Develin all about the Coronavirus seal cover up during a slushy round of golf. Although Rolf turned the lights off in the secret lab, by the way, the green person pods were still glowing. So, I assume they are still plugged in and Rolf didn’t just unplug everybody. Maybe when he said rest in peace, he meant in your pod.

Days of our Lives: EJ Recruits Mark

So, from there, since EJ knows that Rolf is out of the zombie business, maybe EJ is going to recruit Dr. Mark Green to be his next official mad scientist and chief resurrector. Remember, he worked alongside Rolf in the secret lab on Days of our Lives. He studied the effects of the serum mixed with Versix on the lab mice.

So, EJ may direct Mark to continue the research until EJ or Rita can convince Rolf to come back and start pursuing his life’s work again. But that would put Cat Greene‘s (AnnaLynne McCord) brother into the dark side of DiMera dealings. Mark’s been trying to keep his nose clean. Because he’s on parole for trying to murder Chad.

But Mark’s job in the lab is at risk. Because Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) wants to buy the hospital out from under EJ and he and Cat are trying to pay for college. But Gwen may not want to keep anybody employed there that was doing secret things for EJ. So she may well fire him.

So, they could move the person pods and Mark over to a sub-DiMera pharmaceutical to continue the work. Plus, EJ already promised Cat that he’d keep Mark on the DiMera payroll if he is let go at the hospital.

Days of our Lives: Cat’s Risky Scheme

Now, Cat’s already playing a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse with EJ. Because she’s an ISA operative and working for the man that she’s building a case on. Plus, Cat just remembered in her hypnosis session with Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) that she told EJ that she was working for the ISA.

And so far, Cat doesn’t think EJ has remembered that. But he might at some point. Marlena advised Cat to tell her ISA boss, Andrew Donovan (Colton Little), that she remembered telling EJ about her being ISA when they were in Italy. So, there is a risk that Cat may wind up in a person pod in cold storage.

For now, it sounds like we’ve seen the last of Wilhelm Rolf and his freaky back from the dead experiments. But I doubt it. You never know. We may see EJ working with a new younger generation mad scientist since Mark Green really seemed to like working for Rolf and you know he’s not always on the right side of things. He seems to be morally gray. So, he may be the perfect candidate to take over the work.
