Jeremy Horton has long been seen as an obscure figure, always on the sidelines of Salem’s power struggles.

But it is people like Jeremy who pose the real danger.

This week, Jeremy makes a decision that will cost Salem dearly.

Cornered by past secrets and present threats, Jeremy chooses the most reckless path: signing a secret agreement with a mysterious force.

This deal promises to save him from trouble, but in return, Jeremy must provide information that could destroy many others.

The meeting takes place in an abandoned house, dimly lit, the atmosphere heavy. A briefcase is placed on the table as a death sentence. Jeremy knows that from this moment on, there is no turning back.

The terrifying thing is that Jeremy isn’t entirely coerced. A part of him wants control, wants to wield power he’s never had before. But he also understood that, once these secrets were revealed, Salem would never be the same again.

Jeremy’s deal threatened not just one person, but a whole chain of key figures. And as he left that house, his face no longer showed hesitation – only cold determination.

Salem was entering a phase where one wrong decision could lead to irreversible disaster. And Jeremy, whether he liked it or not, had become the spark for that explosion.
