While Mackenzie left in anger, Ross Barton was stunned to the point of being speechless.

When Sophia revealed the truth, Ross realized that he was the one most deeply involved in Cat’s secret.

The scene shows Ross shakingly holding the test paper, eyes wide open, whispering: “No… this can’t be…”

The audience fell silent, then Ross exploded: “You made a fool of me before Salem!”

Cat burst into tears, trying to explain that everything was out of control, but Ross did not accept. He punched the wall, screaming: “I don’t want to be a father! I was never ready for this!”

The audience will be heartbroken when they see Ross stagger out of the room, leaving Cat’s pained eyes behind. For Ross, this was not just a shock – but also a turning point that changed his life in a new direction.

He is forced to face the responsibility of being an unwilling father, while Cat endures anger, disbelief, and scrutiny from everyone. This tragedy puts Salem at the center of an emotional storm where love, betrayal, and responsibility collide violently.
