This week’s Salem opens with a heavy drama revolving around Javi Hernandez and Gabi Hernandez.

In the middle of the DiMera corporation lobby, everyone is busy with work when Javi appears, his eyes sharper than usual.

Without warning, he walks straight in front of Gabi and throws out a sentence that makes the whole room fall silent: “You know more than you say.” At that moment, the whole Salem enters a new spiral of suspicion.

Gabi – who is usually strong and always handles everything rationally – this time shows a bit of confusion.

No one understands what Javi is talking about, but the words he uses are enough to make the atmosphere tense as a string. Javi continues his attack by mentioning Philip Kiriakis and Leo Stark, implying that Gabi is hiding illegal activities or is involved in some conspiracy. Salem residents began to whisper: “Did Gabi do something wrong?”, “Or is this just Javi trying to force her?”

However, what really shocked viewers was not the accusation but Javi’s attitude — no longer the cute little brother, but someone with dangerous information in his hands. He said clearly: “One day the truth will come out. And you can’t hide anymore.” His cold eyes, low voice, and direct way of standing opposite Gabi almost made her lose her balance.

After that moment, Gabi sat alone in her office, staring at the DiMera family photo as if trying to figure out how to escape the new spiral. She called Philip but hung up before he could answer. She tried to contact Leo but immediately deleted the message. All those small actions – filmed in close-up – made the audience believe that Gabi really had a secret.

Elsewhere, Javi didn’t stop. He secretly meets a strange man in the parking lot and hands him an envelope, whispering, “Just follow the plan. I want her to reveal herself.” The scene is enough to give viewers goosebumps. Who is Javi working with? Does he really have the evidence or is he just trying to set up a scenario to force Gabi into a corner? Not to mention Gabi has countless enemies, anyone could be behind it.

The article ends on a suffocating note: Gabi doesn’t know whether to fight or run. And Javi is diving straight into a dangerous game where the truth – if it exists – could destroy the DiMera family and his own future.
