Salem barely had time to catch its breath before Peter Blake returned, and this time, his return brought no nostalgia or apologies, but a heavy, menacing atmosphere.

From the moment Peter stepped into the DiMera mansion, viewers sensed this wasn’t a mere reappearance.

His gaze, the way he observed each member of the DiMera family, was like someone who held too many secrets and was waiting for the opportune moment to strike.

Peter was straightforward. He appeared precisely when the DiMera family was tense due to internal divisions, as if it had been premeditated.

Peter’s ambiguous remarks thickened the atmosphere in the room. No one asked him why he was there, as everyone seemed afraid to hear the answer. For DiMera, Peter Blake was not just an old acquaintance, but a symbol of the mistakes that had been buried.

The terrifying thing was that Peter didn’t need to raise his voice. Just mentioning a few names, a few old events, was enough to send the entire house into a defensive posture. Relationships that seemed to have been mended began to crack. Some looked at Peter with hostility, others avoided him, because they knew he was right.

Salem began to stir as rumors spread that Peter held a secret powerful enough to collapse DiMera’s power structure. Even more dangerous, Peter wasn’t in a hurry to reveal it. He preferred to watch everyone suspect each other, to panic, not knowing when the bomb would explode.
