If Cat and Rafe are the attackers, Jennifer Horton is the protector.

With all the rumors, schemes, and pain pouring down on her son – Jennifer decides to step in and save Thomas, no matter what.

And in the upcoming episode, viewers will see a Jennifer like never before: strong, fierce, and full of the courage of a mother fighting for her son.

According to Yahoo Entertainment, Jennifer turns to Kayla for advice on how to “get Thomas out of the DiMera mess.”

Kayla – who has experienced many family tragedies – warns: “Once you know everything, you will never look at me the same.” But Jennifer is undeterred. She knows that if she stays silent, Thomas will be hurt even more.

In an emotional scene, Jennifer comes to Chad at the office, slamming the documents on the table:

“Do you know how much your son is suffering? If you have any conscience, end things with Cat – now.”

Chad, tired and tormented, only whispers: “I don’t know how to save him.” But Jennifer doesn’t want to listen. She stands up, her voice determined: “No one needs you to save them. I will do it for you.”

Those words mark a major turning point. Jennifer quietly tries to find a way to get Thomas out of Salem, sending him to his mother’s house to rest, away from the media. But before the plan can be carried out, Thomas discovers his mother is packing his bags. He screams in tears: “You can’t protect me by running away!”

That moment makes viewers choke up. Jennifer bursts into tears, hugging her son: “I just want you to live in peace.” – “No, Mom. I want to fight. Like you.”

The final scene shows Jennifer walking out of the Horton house in the rain, the streetlights reflecting off her red eyes. In the distance, Kayla watches, knowing that Salem is about to witness a mother transformed into a true warrior – one who will do anything to protect her child, even if it means facing off against the entire DiMera family.
