The new week in Salem begins with a scene that makes the audience hold their breath: Sarah Horton walks into EJ DiMera’s office, her eyes full of determination.

No longer smiling gently, she says directly: “Tell me the truth.”

EJ looks up, her gaze cold as steel: “Are you sure you can handle it?”

The space is dense, the clock ticks.

From many previous episodes, Sarah has suspected that EJ is hiding a big secret – something that could be related to Sophia Choi, who is missing. She follows the clues, and this time, she doesn’t wait for anyone to help. While EJ is still playing mind games, Sarah takes the step: “Do you think I will let it be?” This episode opens up a long series of nights with a confrontation of power, where Sarah is no longer the “Horton angel” but turns into a woman ready to break all her shells.

The audience is treated to a very tense scene: EJ steps forward, close to Sarah, whispering: “I don’t understand what I’m getting at.” Sarah replies, not backing away: “I understand. And I want you to tell me.” In that moment, the light falls diagonally across their faces, highlighting the line between love and hate, between truth and lies. The director deliberately keeps the scene long, the piano in the background gradually increasing.
In the final scene, Sarah leaves the room, slamming the door. Inside, EJ slams his hand on the table, his eyes full of anger and worry. The audience knows that this truth is big enough to set Salem ablaze. Sarah has lit the first fuse – and she will not stop, even if it costs her life.
