💣 Betrayals, Boardroom Power Plays, and a Shocking Confession: Salem Turns on Itself!

April 10, 2025 — Salem, USA: The tension reached a boiling point in Days of Our Lives, with betrayals surfacing, power shifting, and love tangled in deception. In an episode packed with shocking revelations, emotional confrontations, and corporate coups, it’s clear that Salem is on the edge of a seismic shift. Here’s the full breakdown of today’s explosive developments.

🕵️ Kristen Cornered: A Gun, a Warrant, and a Cold Silence

It began with a tense raid. JJ Deveraux and Shawn Brady served Kristen DiMera with a warrant to search her belongings. Her attempts to deflect failed when JJ pulled a gun from her bag.

“It’s not what it looks like,” Kristen insisted — but the evidence said otherwise.

Despite her protests, Kristen was escorted to the station, where the interrogation turned fiery. JJ and Shawn pressed her on whether she used the weapon on EJ DiMera, but Kristen refused to answer. Instead, she fired back, accusing the two officers of incompetence and even implicating Shawn in the shooting due to his ex-wife’s affair with EJ.

Before long, Kristen demanded a lawyer — but not before planting a seed of chaos and casting suspicion in every direction.

💼 Power Shift: The Kiriakis Brothers Move In

Back at DiMera Enterprises, the drama was just as intense. Gabby Hernandez, still reeling from Kristen’s accusations, discussed the fallout with Melinda Trask. But Kristen’s arrest quickly set the stage for a ruthless corporate move.

At the Kiriakis estate, Xander met with Wei Shin, pushing the idea of a leadership takeover. Xander cited EJ’s fragile condition and Kristen’s legal troubles as the perfect storm. Armed with insider info and stock turmoil, he made his case: take Kristen down with a no-confidence vote, using EJ’s proxy.

When Philip Kiriakis arrived with confirmation of Kristen’s arrest, Shin was convinced. He announced plans to take control of the board — but time was of the essence. Kristen’s release or EJ’s recovery could ruin everything. The brothers smiled, their takeover plans officially in motion.

🏥 Secrets, Surveillance, and a Bullet’s Trail

While the boardroom burned, police hit a dead end — the bullet from EJ’s shooting was missing from evidence. That is, until a visit to the hospital unearthed it, thanks to Dr. Kayla Brady.

Meanwhile, Kristen lashed out in the interrogation room, concerned about DiMera Enterprises and suspicious of everyone around her. She admitted to having her mother’s gun, but cleverly dodged confirming whether she fired it.

“You’ll never know otherwise,” she told Melinda, who wisely chose not to press for an answer that might destroy her case.

🧠 A Mind in Motion: Belle’s Confession, EJ’s Dreamscape

At the hospital, Belle Black sat beside a comatose EJ, her heart torn by guilt and buried affection. She kissed his hand and whispered, “Damn it EJ, yes, I love you.”

But in her mind’s eye, EJ woke up — and challenged her.

“Could it be that you’re here because you do love me after all?” he asked.

What followed was an emotional, imagined confrontation — or perhaps something more? Belle’s love, once a secret, now sat exposed like a wound. Whether EJ heard her or not, the truth was out.

🧨 A Dangerous Memory and a Seized Throne

As the boardroom takeover heated up, Gabby flashed back to the night of the shooting — gun in hand, watching EJ from the window. Was it guilt, or fear, or something more sinister?

When Philip and Xander entered her office, it was no longer hers.

“I think she means our office now,” Philip said with a smirk.
“Everything here belongs to us,” Xander added.

Stunned and cornered, Gabby had no choice but to watch the DiMera empire fall into Kiriakis hands — piece by piece.

🧩 What Comes Next?

With so many secrets swirling, alliances shifting, and hearts breaking, Salem is bracing for the aftershocks. Here’s what’s on the horizon:

• Will Kristen’s silence shield her — or doom her?

• Can Belle’s confession change EJ’s heart (and fate)?

• Is Gabby guilty, or merely haunted by what might have been?

• And how long before Xander and Philip’s power grab sparks a full-scale war?

📺 One thing’s for sure: Salem’s darkest secrets are no longer safe.
