The new week of Days of Our Lives opens with tension as a series of events turn Salem upside down.

At Victoria’s birthday party, viewers witness a Tate who can no longer control himself, venting his anger on Holly.

The heated argument causes the already fragile relationship to crack to the point of being impossible to mend.

Holly leaves in pain, while Tate remains angry, unaware that his words have deeply hurt her.

Meanwhile, Sophia goes to Ari to pour out her heart. At first, she complains as a way to relieve pressure, but then gradually reveals that she knows more than everyone thinks. That ambiguity makes Ari curious, and viewers wonder: Is Sophia hiding a shocking secret?

In other developments, Sarah unexpectedly sees a different side of Xander at the party. His maturity and composure moved her, and she unconsciously looked at him with a different gaze. This became even more confusing when Philip insisted on keeping his story, regardless of who doubted it. Even when the truth could come out at any moment, Philip still clung to the “version” he believed was right.

At the same time, at the press conference for One Stormy Night, Alex, Stephanie and Kate were present, unaware that the event was about to turn into a storm. Salem opened the week with a series of dramas revolving around love, suspicion and complicated relationships.
