After the shocking confrontation with Titan, Sarah Horton never returned home.

She packed her things, took baby Victoria “T” Cook to her mother’s house, leaving Xander in the empty house.

The wall that used to be filled with family photos now had only empty frames. And at that moment, tragedy struck: Baby T disappeared.

Sarah paled when she discovered the back door was wide open and the baby’s bracelet was still in the crib.

She panicked and shouted: “T! Where are you?” – her scream echoed through the Salem neighborhood. The police were called, and all suspicion immediately fell on Xander – who had a violent past. Maggie looked at her ex-son-in-law and asked in tears: “What did you do?” Xander choked: “I didn’t touch her, I swear.”

But Salem didn’t believe the oath. Rumors spread quickly – “Xander took you to force Sarah to come back.” His image appeared all over the internet. He lost his job, his reputation, and now his daughter. Meanwhile, Sarah sat exhausted on the floor, clutching her small bracelet. “If you do anything to my child, I will never forgive you.”

The dramatic scene at the end of the episode: a stranger called Sarah, a man’s voice deep and hoarse: “If you want to see your child again, come to Salem Park at midnight. Alone.” Sarah left, in the rain, the lights flickering. In the distance, Xander also appeared – he did not trust Sarah, but his intuition told him it was a trap. The two faced each other in the night mist, their eyes torn between love and hate.

When the clock struck 12, a small figure ran out of the bushes – it was little T, trembling. Sarah held her child, while Xander stood back, the rain mixed with tears. He whispered: “At least she is safe.” The ending scene cut right as Xander stepped back into the darkness – leaving the question: did he save her, or was he the cause of her danger?
