Promo for November and beyond!

I was just about to come and post this.

Not surprised about Will. Totally called that Susan had him brainwashed to think he's EJ. Not real enthusiastic about Sami using Ben to make Will remember; there has to be an easier way to do it, especially when half the city of Salem have had their memories toyed with by Rolf, including a large percentage of Sami's own family. Surely one of them knows a better way. Maybe Sami's mom, the psychiatrist...?

Happy to see Rafe and Hope break-up, I never thought they worked as a couple, but I'm not keen on Sami and Rafe getting back together; and was afraid that was where they were going after their recent scenes.

I'm ambivalent about JJ/Theo's story. It's one that could be good, and maybe still could be, but they did everything in their power to put Theo not only in the wrong place at the wrong time, but doing the wrong thing entirely; yet the blame will no doubt be shifted to JJ in spite of that, which I think is the wrong way of telling this story. I mean, for crying out loud, they felt it was necessary to have Theo borrow Flo's Name Your Price Tool as part of his burglary kit, just to make it look like he had a gun. They crafted a scenario where a police officer legitimately should fire their weapon, because it genuinely looked like they were about to be fired on by a suspect they had been in pursuit of; and I have a suspicion that based on this clip they're going to focus solely on the fact that Theo was not in fact armed, and was otherwise a good kid, while glossing over the fact that he was trying to break-in somewhere.
The fact that they had JJ pop off to Ben and get suspended will no doubt play into this too; making it look like JJ was reinstated too soon, which will no doubt blow back on Hope as well.
And apparently the Salem PD is so underfunded, that they don't have enough officers on duty at all hours, that they have to call in two detectives in the middle of the night to inspect a possible breaking and entering....

If they were going to go about it this way, I think they should have had Lani be the cop who took the shot; and have JJ take the heat to protect her when they realize he was not only not armed, but that it was also her brother. Better still, JJ shoots a random stranger, who may not have even been the suspect, or was the person trying to break into the warehouse, and was unarmed, but not someone he or the audience knew; or it's just a random cop we've never seen, who doesn't know Theo, doesn't know he's the mayor's son and takes the shot, and either Theo really is still the perpetrator, or he's the victim of mistaken identity for wearing the same hoodie or something. Any of those scenarios would have been better than how this was setup. People and events being so intertwined, as Days is apt to do, drives me crazy, but what are you going to do....?

I get the impression that Sami's plan is to jog Will's memory, by having Ben reenact his murder; which, if that is in fact the case, is pretty messed up.
