Days of our Lives Spoilers July 9: Sarah Hurls a Startling Accusation at Holly

Days of our Lives continues the drama on Thursday as Holly's condition comes into play once again. According to spoilers for July 9, 2026, Holly has to defend herself and so does Cat.

What About the Coriseal?

Now that Holly (Ashley Puzemi) is on the mend and the water sample test results are back, Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) has to truly get to the bottom of this medical mystery. There was Coriseal in Holly's blood, but none in the water sample, so that means that Holly must have taken the Coriseal on purpose, right?

That's what Sarah accuses Holly of, but Holly vehemently denies the accusation. She is not taking any sort of narcotic drug and would never do such a thing again. Her history with narcotics and medication has made her too gun-shy to ever do such a thing.

Sarah can't think of any other way the Coriseal could have gotten into Holly's system unless she took it. Will this lead Holly to once again suspect that Sophia (Rachel Boyd) is out there and after her? Or will she think Amy Choi (Shi Ne Nielson) is doing this since Amy seems to always know where she is?

Cat In the Hot Seat

After her hypnosis session with Marlena (Deidre Hall), Cat (AnnaLynne McCord) is excited that she now knows more about the time she spent with EJ (Daniel Feuerriegel) at the hospital in Italy. She runs to Rafe (Galen Gering) with this news, but he is alarmed that she seems to be getting in too deep.

Rafe even wants to pull Cat off the assignment, but can he even do that? How does this whole ISA/FBI partnership work? Isn't Andrew Donovan (Colton Little) her boss and not Rafe? How can Rafe have any say over what Cat chooses to do regarding this case?

Meanwhile, EJ thinks he finally won something and celebrates a victory. Is he relieved that Holly is going to be okay and he won't face any consequences for what has happened to her? Or does EJ score another win and learn he has another leg up over Titan?

Is Sarah wrong to accuse Holly of taking drugs? Do you see sparks between Rafe and Cat? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
