Salem opens the week with news that Chad DiMera and Cat have decided to take the next step in their relationship.

Felicity and Thomas happily support them, but the arrival of Jack and Jennifer soon after makes the atmosphere heavy.

Jack fears that his ex-son-in-law is repeating past mistakes, while Jennifer is upset that Cat seems to be interfering in the family.

Cat is confused and apologizes to Chad, while EJ takes the opportunity to tease and sow doubt.

In the middle of the week, Theo Carver unexpectedly returns to find his father Abe and Paulina in a depressed mood after his breakup with Claire. The tearful reunion quickly turns into a tense conversation, as Abe realizes his son is hiding more pressure than he lets on. Theo’s sad eyes reveal a series of secrets that could become the focus of the next drama in Salem.

Meanwhile, baby Tesoro becomes the “battlefield” of hearts longing to be parents. Leo and Javi are determined to adopt, while Chanel suddenly tells Johnny that she wants to build a new family. Two sides, two desires, one innocent child – this legal and emotional battle is sure to blow up Salem.

In another development, brothers Xander and Philip have a rare moment to sit down, put aside hatred to build a family together. But that peace is quickly broken when Gabi silently observes, a sinister smile on her lips. She prepares to launch a new move, threatening to shake the entire Kiriakis family.

This week, Days of our Lives brings the audience everything: new but doubtful love, mysterious returns, a child at the center of conflict and increasingly tense family intrigue. Salem once again proves that this is a land where happiness is fragile, where every decision can turn into a storm.
