The upcoming week on Days of Our Lives will see Chad DiMera announce plans to move his family to Arizona, stunning his girlfriend Cat Greene. Meanwhile, Stefano DiMera's final instructions to Dr. Rolf will lead to an ominous gift being delivered to Chad's brother EJ DiMera. Elsewhere, Rafe Hernandez will arrest Dimitri von Leuschner, while the DiMera family gathers to pay their respects at Stefano's crypt.

Why it matters

This storyline continues the long-running DiMera family drama that has been a central focus of Days of Our Lives for decades. Stefano's lasting influence even after his death, as well as the ongoing power struggles within the DiMera empire, are key elements that drive much of the show's most compelling narratives.

The details

Chad DiMera will stun his girlfriend Cat Greene by announcing plans to move the family to Arizona, potentially to avoid the temptation of a relationship with her. Meanwhile, Dr. Rolf will reveal that Stefano left one final instruction - for EJ DiMera to receive Stefano's ring, an ominous sign of Stefano's continued influence. Rafe Hernandez will also arrest Dimitri von Leuschner, interrupting his conversation with Leo Stark, while the DiMera family gathers at Stefano's crypt to pay their respects.

• Chad's announcement about moving to Arizona will come this week.
• Stefano's final instructions to Dr. Rolf will be revealed this week.
• Rafe will arrest Dimitri von Leuschner during the week of February 9-13.

What’s next
