Family Feuds and Broken Trust
Things heat up fast as Sami storms back into Salem and immediately clashes with Belle, walking in just as Belle confesses her feelings to a comatose EJ. Tensions erupt between the sisters as old wounds are ripped open. Sami, fierce as ever, isn’t holding back—accusing Belle of being nothing more than EJ’s second choice. But Belle fights back, insisting it was EJ who pursued her. The sisters’ verbal sparring ends with icy words and lingering resentment.
Later, Sami visits EJ, reminiscing about their past, their family, and the love that once bound them. She softens just slightly, reflecting on how Sydney misses her father and Johnny—now spiraling—deserves better.
Johnny’s Inner War
Haunted by headlines and haunted memories, Johnny isolates himself at home, staring at an article on Roman’s gun incident. When Chad stops by, concerned, Johnny reveals the real reason for his detachment: the collapse of his adoption and the shocking truths about EJ. Johnny feels betrayed—especially by Sami for staying with EJ after everything.
Chad, carrying regrets of his own, urges Johnny not to miss the chance to say goodbye. Whether or not Johnny can forgive his father, it may be his final chance to find closure. Johnny takes it to heart… and promises to think about it.
Power Plays and Shifting Alliances
At Gabby Chic, tensions boil over. Gabby goes head-to-head with Kate and Philip, who inform her that due to the merger with Shin, Gabby Chic no longer truly belongs to her. Outraged, Gabby threatens to quit—but they’re unbothered. She’s welcome to walk out, just not with the company. In fact, they joke, she can take the paper shredder and the blue stapler. Ouch.
Philip makes it clear: Gabby’s just the face now, as long as she plays by the rules. Furious but cornered, she agrees to stay—but the war is far from over.
Meanwhile, Alex berates Sarah over her manipulation and deceit. He accuses her of using Philip to undermine Xander, and when Sarah defends her decisions, he claps back—literally—telling her that her lies have blown up in her face. Though Sarah claims gratitude for his cooperation, Alex isn’t buying it. His trust is shattered.
Rex Returns, and Secrets Surface
Upstairs at the mansion, Kate is startled by breaking news of Kristen’s arrest. When Rex shows up—arm in a sling but otherwise okay—he comforts his mother, assuring her that EJ isn’t behind his attack. Kate tries to explain what really happened but is interrupted by a text from Philip. Before she leaves, she stashes a gun back into her purse. What’s she planning?
Toasts and Unexpected Guests
Later that evening, Philip raises a glass in Victor’s honor, joined by Kate. Just as they begin to toast the apparent victory over Demra Enterprises, the door opens—and in struts Vivian. “Oh wait,” she purrs, “you can’t start a celebration without moi.”
Classic Vivian.
The Brady Pub Showdown
Earlier in the day, tensions had already been brewing at the Brady Pub. Sami Brady arrived unannounced, back in Salem with fire in her eyes. As she exchanged cutting words with Belle, Roman gave them both a stern warning. But these sisters never back down. Belle jabbed at Sami for meddling in Johnny’s life, and Sami returned fire, accusing Belle of betrayal. Roman finally stepped in to break up the chaos—but this battle is far from over.
A Mother and Son Face Off
That evening, Sami found herself pacing in front of the DiMera mansion, heart racing, debating her next move. Should she knock? Should she walk away? Or is it finally time to face the truth—and her son—head on?
