The weekend episode takes the audience on an emotional rollercoaster.

Rain pours down on the city, streetlights flicker, and a piece of news leaves everyone speechless: Rachel is missing.

Belle panics, running around the house calling her name.

EJ appears behind her, his shirt soaked, whispering: “I will find her.”

But his eyes make Sarah suspicious: too calm, too cold.

Next shot: Belle finds Rachel’s phone dropped in the backyard, the screen showing the last message: “Don’t trust EJ.”

From here, everything falls apart. Sarah accuses EJ, and he counterattacks: “You’re making things up.” Marlena tries to stop her, but then suddenly receives an anonymous call: “Want to find Rachel? Ask Leo.”

Immediately, the group rushes to Leo’s house – but he disappears, leaving only a handwritten note: “I have no choice.”

The storm outside is mixed with the storm inside. Belle is torn between love and reason: she loves EJ but knows he might be involved. Sarah decides to cooperate with Rita, using all sources of information to track him down. The most dramatic scene: Rita turns on the traffic camera, sees EJ’s car appear near the forest where Rachel is supposed to be taken. Belle turns to EJ, whispers: “Try lying to me again.”

The episode ends with EJ alone in the rain, looking up at the sky. The camera zooms in – he takes out a small necklace from his pocket, engraved with the name “Rachel”. His face is a mixture of regret and calculation.
The final line on the screen: “The storm has just begun.”
The whole of Salem is silent – signaling a long series of days, where the strongest can collapse just because a child dares to remember the past.
