Salem is once again shaken when Sami Brady – the notoriously stubborn daughter of the Brady clan – decides to host a “warm” reunion to unite the family.

It sounds simple, but anyone who has watched Days of Our Lives for a long time knows that whenever Sami “hosts,” something is bound to happen.

And this time, it’s true – the happy party quickly turns into a disaster as the past, secrets, and old hurts all come to the surface.

It all started out beautifully: Marlena Evans appeared in an elegant white dress, John Black sat next to her and smiled softly, and Sami carried her baby onto the stage to say thank you.

But then Belle Black interrupted with the words “congratulations, but don’t pretend it never happened.” The atmosphere in the room suddenly froze. Marlena’s eyes flashed with fear. Sami tried to smile, but her voice was shaky. From that moment, the party officially slipped away from her.

As the family members took turns recalling the past – from John’s suspected betrayal to Marlena’s depression – the legendary psychiatrist began to lose her composure. Marlena gasped, tears welling up in her eyes. A leaked preview showed her silently looking at the family photo on the wall, then leaving the party table in silence. Sami chased after her, only to hear Marlena whisper: “Family… can’t save anyone when everyone is hurting.”

Netizens called this a “tearful party” – where Sami had good intentions but accidentally reopened old wounds. Instead of bonding, the reunion turned into a test of people’s hearts. And the one who suffered the most was still Marlena – the mother who had healed the whole city but had never been healed by anyone.
