My current theory (based on no information other than what we've seen on screen).

Spoiler

Johnny confronted EJ, they fought, EJ passes out.  Roman comes and stops Johnny from shooting EJ.  Rachel sees EJ passed out and stabs him.  Then, he wakes up to see Kristen shoot him, to cover up Rachel's crime.  I don't think they'd film a kid with a gun which is why I chose the knife angle.

And maybe

Spoiler

OG Rachel and OG Sophia left because they knew that their characters were being written out soon?

Meanwhile, if rumors

Spoiler

are true that EJ wants to buy the hospital, three days after being shot -

then he seems to have conflicting feelings with regard to the risks of Sespsis.

From soaps.com (soaps.sheknows), May 2, 2025
That website says that this info is from
their same interview with Cwikly&Ford that they had published on April 21.
That website is releasing additional details here in this May 2nd article.
Original April 21 interview is on 2nd post of CwiklyFord thread (Link)

The focus of this new article: the plan for May 2025 and into the summer.

Omitting the website commentary; posting here only the actual spoilers:

• Soaps.com asked the writers what character might have a surprising trajectory this spring.
  Reply from Cwikly and Ford:
  “It’s impossible to pick just one,” “EJ, Xander, Philip, Leo, Sophia, Stephanie…”
   
• As for EJ, “The ripple effects” of his shooting: “This story presented us with the perfect set-up when we took over. Half of Salem was established to have the means, motive, and opportunity. Suspects are eliminated, suspects are added, an arrest is made, all leading to a summer trial that involves and affects many characters.”
  the “lovers Belle and EJ facing off in court.”
   
• “The escalation of Xander and Philip’s war over Titan, which jeopardizes both the company and the family”
   
• “The courtship of Alex and Stephanie that includes him encouraging her to explore a new chapter of her professional life.”
   
• “The teens head toward graduation as Sophia heads toward her due date, delivering complications for Holly and Tate.”
