Sami Brady has just returned to Salem and immediately caused a stir in the town when she announced her engagement to Dante Vitali, a mysterious Italian businessman with shady connections to the DiMera family.

Marlena, Roman, Lucas and EJ were all shocked, because Dante had never appeared in Sami’s life before.

She declared: “I found someone who understands me better than anyone.”

But the audience was keen to notice – her eyes could not hide the wariness.

Rumors were buzzing: Dante was actually cooperating with a dark force to take over DiMera Enterprises shares, and Sami was just using the wedding to “play the opposite card”. Leaked behind-the-scenes footage showed – on the night of the wedding dress fitting, Sami secretly called EJ: “Are you sure you can handle me marrying someone else?” A provocation, also a warning.

Outside, Dante meets Cat Greene – a victim who was involved in the DiMera underground project. He whispers: “Everything is going according to plan.” The words make viewers shiver: what plan, and for whom?

Viewers predict that the wedding will not only be about flowers and music, but may turn into a power battle. If Dante is the pawn, who is sitting on the chessboard? Sami Brady – who has shaken Salem many times – is playing the biggest game of her life.
