suggesting a massive family schism will erupt over Theo’s career path and the influence of the DiMera name.

The impenetrable lab

Finally, the preview will wrap up with a look at the secretive happenings at the clinic. EJ DiMera will be sitting at his desk, expressing satisfaction with the clinic’s progress. He will confidently state that once construction on the lab is complete, it will be “impenetrable.”However, Cat will be shown sneaking into the lab, which is still under construction, and beginning to take photos.

Speculations suggest that this clandestine activity will soon put Cat in danger, especially if EJ discovers her attempts to expose or exploit the construction site before his "impenetrable" security measures can be implemented.
