Salem had barely calmed down when the drama exploded: Theo Carver directly exposed JJ Deveraux in the middle of the square, turning what seemed like a small conversation into a real storm.

The scene opens with Theo’s harsh voice: “You’re not a hero, JJ. You’re just playing the victim.”

Both the audience and the people of Salem were stunned.

JJ was usually a rational person, always trying to protect others, but this time he was completely put on the defensive.

Theo was no longer the gentle boy from years ago – his eyes were full of hurt and anger, reminding him of the times JJ had made him lose trust.

Theo accused JJ of interfering too deeply in his life, even “creating a moral scenario” to paint a halo for himself. JJ, his voice trembling but trying to stay calm, replied: “I did it for your own good.” Hearing that, Theo smiled faintly, saying a sentence that made everyone shiver: “Sometimes, your ‘goodness’ is the thing that kills others.”

The dialogue scene lasted less than five minutes but was as heavy as a punch. All the accumulated feelings between them – jealousy, guilt, old love – rose up. Fans immediately divided into two sides: one side defended JJ for “just wanting to help”, the other side thought Theo was too much but… not wrong.

What made this episode great was that the truth Theo told was not necessarily all lies. It was possible that JJ was really hiding something, a secret about the accident years ago that caused Theo to lose almost everything. The battle of “justice and humanity” now turned into a fierce personal confrontation.
