The seemingly peaceful town of Salem is once again in turmoil when Abe Carver, the respected and popular mayor, meets a mysterious man named Liam.

This seemingly harmless meeting opens a new series of dramas that make the entire DOOL audience restless.

Abe greets Liam in the mayor’s office with a polite smile.

“Welcome to Salem,” he says, “I hope you find what you need here.”

But in response, Liam’s sharp eyes and the ambiguous sentence: “I came because of an unfulfilled promise.” The sentence makes both the audience and Abe stunned. A promise? To whom?

From that moment, the atmosphere in the room changes from gentle to tense. Liam appears polite, speaks softly, but every look, every gesture has a deep meaning. A person who used to be a friend? A person who once owed Abe something? Or worse – someone who wants to “settle” an old debt?

Backstage sources reveal that Liam has a shady connection with Paulina Price, who caused Salem’s previous political scandal. Is he a witness, an accomplice, or someone who’s back to make a profit? The audience is left guessing, especially when Liam quietly walks out of the town hall and looks back with a look… half pity, half threat.

Meanwhile, Theo Carver, Abe’s son, begins to feel uneasy. He witnesses his father talking to Liam and immediately warns Paulina: “You better be careful, that person is not simple.” Paulina responds with her usual confidence: “You worry too much, there’s no one in Salem who can scare me anymore.” But the audience knows – when Paulina says that, it’s time to explode.

The scene ends with Liam standing in the dark, holding an old photo. It shows Abe, Paulina and a strange woman. “They forgot me,” he mutters. “But I didn’t.”
The next episode is going to be a storm. And Salem, once again, is about to be devastated by the past.
