A shocking turn of events will lead to a new suspect in the murder of Nick Fallon on Days of Our Lives --and it may just be someone who wasn't originally high up on the list.

Kate Discovers Her Gun Is Missing?

Will's father Lucas (Bryan Dattilo) will become much more of a prime suspect in the case of Nick's murder after he is brought in for questioning -- and Hope (Kristian Alfonso) catches him in a big lie.

If he's responsible, a confession isn't likely to come just yet, but there could be other reasons behind his becoming a person of interest in the case. His mother, Kate (Lauren Koslow), previously discovered her gun was missing -- meaning someone in her family was quite possibly the person who shot and killed one of Salem's least favorite people. His son, Will (Guy Wilson) and son-in-law, Sony (Freddie Smith) were also suspected because Nick had convinced Gabi (Camila Banus) to take Will's son Arianna out-of-town with her-for good. Lucas could possibly know that Will or Sonny may be guilty and could be trying to cover up for one of them -- landing him in more hot water.

E.J. Becomes A Suspect In Nick's Murder?

One couple who was convinced they were responsible for Nick's death after hiring a hitman was E.J. (James Scott) and Sami (Alison Sweeney) -- but the two will be in for a major shock when their money is refunded to them -- meaning that they actually weren't responsible for the murder.

As the murder case appears to get nowhere closer to being solved, Daniel (Shawn Christian) will be waiting to find out if Nicole (Arianne Zucker) has told Eric (Greg Vaughan) the truth about the night he had sex with Kristin. She has had proof for some time that her fiancé was drugged at the time, meaning he could easily go back to his celibate lifestyle as a priest, and leave her alone again. Daniel became aware of the situation and threatened Nicole to tell Eric the truth before he did, but it may not work in his favor.

In fact, Nicole's attempt to tell the truth will go horribly wrong, as she will finally get Eric not only into bed with her, but to make love with her as well. Her previous attempts to coax him into her bed had all failed because he wanted to wait until marriage. And now, because he is knowingly making love this time, it could jeopardize his return to the priesthood all over again, meaning Nicole may use it as an excuse to never tell him the actual truth.

Meanwhile, J.J. (Casey Moss) and Paige (True O'Brien) had finally worked through their differences again and resumed dating -- but his past with Theresa (Jen Lilley) will possibly come back and haunt his relationship once again when the resident troublemaker affects the couple's first official date.

Days of Our Lives airs Monday-Friday at 1 p.m. on NBC.
