Spoilers and speculation for Days of Our Lives suggest that Konstantin Meleounis might manipulate Xander Cook into executing a hit job through brainwashing.
Having previously used a tarot card to compel John Black to aim a gun at himself, influencing Xander to assassinate Harris Michael could be easily achievable for Konstantin.
The Mysterious Call
Xander received a mysterious call from someone with a disguised voice, proposing a hit job—a line of work Xander hasn’t been involved in for years, yet this caller was aware of his past.
During a dinner with Sarah Horton and Maggie Kiriakis, where they unintentionally met Konstantin.
It was revealed that Konstantin was also aware of Xander’s past as a hitman in Greece.
It was implied that Xander once worked for Konstantin’s father, a connection Xander found puzzling due to the age discrepancy.
Xander approached Stefan DiMera, suspecting him of making the call, but Stefan denied it.
EJ DiMera was considered a suspect but was also dismissed, leaving Konstantin as the likely culprit.
Why Harris Michaels?
The reason behind Konstantin’s target on Harris is straightforward; Harris possesses knowledge from his time in Greece and his programming by Megan DiMera.
Harris’s familiarity with Victor Kiriakis’s childhood home and damaging information about Bo Brady positions him as a threat to Konstantin’s plans.
Konstantin’s indirect connection to Victor and the potential knowledge Harris could share, despite being deprogrammed, marks Harris as a danger in Konstantin’s eyes.
Eliminating Harris would be a strategic move for Konstantin, paving the way to manipulate others to his advantage.
It’s Obviously Xander Cook Who Shoots Harris Michaels
Clearly, it is Xander who ends up shooting Harris, but the motives behind this act are complex.
Despite Xander’s disinterest in returning to his criminal past and his successful management of the Spectator, Konstantin’s influence looms large.
Maggie Kiriakis’s reaction to Konstantin’s comment about Xander’s past connections hints at the tension surrounding this revelation.
As Xander prepares to confront Harris, the dynamics shift, especially when Konstantin uses a tarot card to trigger Xander’s assassin instincts.
