While Salem was engrossed in the drama between Leo and Marlena, another story simmered between Gabi Hernandez and her brother, Rafe.

They had always been on good terms—but this week, Rafe was forced to do something that deeply hurt Gabi: tell her the truth she didn’t want to hear.

Rafe revealed that Gabi’s investment contract with her new company was invalidated due to financial fraud by the partner.

This meant Gabi lost all her money, and her dream of starting a fashion business was shattered overnight.

Gabi’s breakdown, throwing files to the floor and shouting, “You knew and still let me trust you, Rafe?!” left Salem speechless.

The matter didn’t end there. In her anger, Gabi sought out Ava Vitali, a woman with a long-standing feud with Rafe, to find a way to “repay the debt of honor.” The handshake between these two women could become the spark for spring 2026 drama, with Ava bluntly stating, “If you want to overthrow Rafe, I have a plan.”

Fans have begun speculating that Gabi might be venturing into a moral gray area where every decision has consequences. This love-family story reminds viewers of Days’ golden age: real drama, real emotions, and no one is entirely innocent.
