Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers and rumors suggest that Thomas DiMera (Cary Christopher) stole Konstantin Meleounis' (John Kapelos) tarot card.
The card controlled John Black (Drake Hogestyn) as the Pawn, sparking speculation of mini-Pawn trouble ahead.
Could Thomas accidentally self-activate brainwashing as a mini-Pawn by playing with the card? It all depends on how the Phoenix prepared the card.
This DiMera legacy is not one that Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) would want Thomas to have, but with the Devil possessing several Salem citizens, anything is possible.
If the Devil can inhabit Salem residents, then the Pawn could activate and live in Thomas, turning him into a mini-Pawn capable of causing mischief.
What would a mini-Pawn do if Thomas were activated to carry out tasks as the Pawn? He could become a powerful weapon, appearing innocent while obeying orders as a DiMera soldier.
Thomas could execute sneak attacks unexpectedly, meeting out justice for his deceased mother and becoming a hero in the process.
It would make sense for the mini-Pawn to attack Clyde Weston (James Read) and finish what his father started but was stopped from completing.
Chad wanted to avenge Abigail DiMera's (Marci Miller) murder, and EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) prevented him from taking out Clyde in the cemetery.
Clyde would be unsuspecting of the threat posed by mini-Pawn Thomas, viewing him as just a kid with a grudge. Thomas could exact perfect justice for his mother's death and be hailed as a hero in the process.
