Not all characters in Salem live in darkness.

This week, the audience had the opportunity to shed tears with the moment between Leo Stark and Javi Hernandez.

After a series of misunderstandings, the two finally had a moment of peace, but also a moment of separation.

Leo whispered: “We are always together – just not always in the same place.”

Javi smiled sadly: “If you believe that, I can go anywhere.” The scene of the two holding hands in the park, leaves falling around, lights shining in, made the audience silent.

But Days of Our Lives never allowed happiness to last. As Leo left, Javi received a text message from Chanel: “Brady is investigating your group. Maybe they know about Thomas and Rachel.” Javi paled, turned back to find Leo – but Leo had disappeared into the night.

The sweetness turned to worry. Leo and Javi are now not just lovers separated, but also two people caught in a web of intrigue. All the clues point back to “Friday night plans” – the night Rachel sneaked out of the house and Thomas disappeared.

Between love and secrets, they choose silence. But in Salem, silence is always a sign of a storm. When Javi looks away, whispering “Are you going to be okay?”, the audience knows – this is just the beginning of a beautiful tragedy.
