Salem has never been peaceful, and when Jeremy Horton returns, the overlapping relationships become even more dangerous.

If Julie welcomes him with open arms, Chad DiMera is not easy.

He was skeptical from the beginning about Cat Greene – a woman who is always surrounded by conspiracies.

When Jeremy appears, Chad believes that Cat is the one who drags Jeremy into a new power game against the DiMera family.

In a dramatic scene, Chad catches Cat and Jeremy having a secret conversation in a dark corner of the Rovers. He stands outside, his eyes shining with suspicion. Cat whispers: “Just listen, I’ll take care of the rest.” Jeremy nods, his hand gently squeezing his glass, his face showing uneasiness. Chad steps out, throws a harsh look, and asks directly: “What are you two hiding?” Both Cat and Jeremy fall silent at the same time, creating a tense moment that makes the audience suffocate.

Julie, upon learning of the situation, tries to defend Jeremy, but his silence hurts her even more. “Did you come back to reunite or to betray?” – Julie chokes up, making Jeremy bow his head. The scene depicts a family tragedy: a woman who trusts wholeheartedly and a grandson who stands between the line of truth and lies.

The drama will explode when Chad decides to follow Jeremy. In a fictional plot, Chad sneaks up on Jeremy handing documents to Cat at the docks. Under the dim light, Jeremy hands over a thick envelope, and Cat smiles half-heartedly. Chad immediately appears, shouting: “I know what you two are playing at!” The accusation not only scares Jeremy, but also makes Cat laugh coldly: “Do you think the DiMera family is invincible?”

The twist may come from the fact that Jeremy is not really betraying, but is being manipulated by Cat. She holds a secret from Jeremy’s past – perhaps a financial debt, or a mistake that, if exposed, will destroy him. Cat uses it as a chain to tie Jeremy, forcing him to carry out all her plans.

The next explosive point is when Chad tells Stephanie about this. If Stephanie knows Jeremy is working with Cat, her relationship with Alex may also fall apart. Alex already doesn’t completely trust Stephanie’s past, now she has even more reason to doubt. Salem will be facing an “explosion” between the Horton – DiMera – Johnson families.
