The atmosphere in Salem at the end of the year was bone-chilling, but nothing could compare to the moment Vivian Alamain sent Rafe Hernandez a sealed envelope containing “deadly evidence”—something that could change the fate of the entire DiMera family.

According to the lab report, the DNA samples found in the crypt matched Stefan DiMera, sending Gabi Hernandez into a panic.

The scene between Rafe and Gabi was considered one of the most emotional moments of the week.

Rafe’s hands trembled as he read the results, while Gabi gave a dry laugh, then burst into tears, denying everything.

“No, my Stefan is still alive… he came back from the dead!” – that line brought viewers to tears.

But Days is never easy to predict. Vivian – the mastermind behind it all – may be setting a trap. Some sources suggest she fabricated the DNA samples to mislead Salem. Her goal? To conceal Stefan’s true whereabouts, who may be secretly held captive or quietly returning with his own plans.

This drama revolves not only around Gabi’s pain but also touches upon the power dynamics of the DiMera family, as EJ and Kristen begin to suspect Vivian wants to manipulate the entire fortune. Upcoming episodes promise a surprising twist, as Vivian is not only the “mother of darkness”—but also the best chess player in Salem.
