No one expected that, amidst the chaotic days in Salem, Johnny DiMera and Chanel Dupree would find happiness in their new role: foster parents.

Baby Tesoro DiMera officially moved in with the young couple, marking the sweetest turning point the two have ever had.

But in Salem – where every joy has a hidden price – that peaceful moment certainly did not last long.

The adoption ceremony was warm.

Chanel was radiant, Johnny smiled gently, and the little child lay in their arms as a symbol of a new beginning. However, from the moment he stepped out of the courthouse, Johnny felt someone was watching him. A strange car was parked in the distance, the person in the car wearing sunglasses – his eyes followed the new DiMera couple.

Insiders reveal that the driver is none other than an old DiMera figure – one who was disinherited. He returns with a big conspiracy, and baby Tesoro is the “key” to reopen the power struggle between the DiMeras.

Meanwhile, Chanel – still unaware of what is coming – devotes herself to Tesoro, but continues to receive anonymous messages with strange content: “The child does not belong to me.” Fear begins to creep into the happy days.

The final scene of the episode makes the audience stop in their hearts: Johnny carries Tesoro into the house, but the door is slightly open – and in the dark room, a figure has just disappeared through the back door. Salem is never peaceful, and perhaps, the young couple is about to enter the first battle of their life as parents – not for custody, but for their lives.
