Salem prepares for the biggest Thanksgiving dinner of the year at the Brady house, with all the big names in attendance: Kayla, Belle, Marlena, Eric, Abe, Chanel, Johnny, etc.

Everyone tries to act cheerful, despite the tension surrounding Sarah, Marlena, and Johnny. But just minutes after everyone sits down at the table, the atmosphere turns cold.

Belle gets a text that turns pale. Gwen appears at the door with a calculating look. EJ leans against the wall, dropping his phone in shock. Johnny tries to get up but can’t.

Marlena looks around, knowing the worst has happened: a family member… is missing.

The missing person is confirmed to be a family member with a major secret, someone who, if not found soon, will plunge Salem into chaos. In the promo, the police show up at Brady Pub and say, “We believe this is no ordinary missing person.” This brings the table to a screeching halt—Thanksgiving is officially over.

In the chaos, Gwen adds fuel to the fire: she stands in front of the room and says, “There’s a secret someone here is keeping. And it’s related to this disappearance.”

Everyone sits in stunned silence.

Marlena whispers, “It’s happening…” and faints. Kayla runs over, while Belle cries and calls an ambulance.

Sarah—in the hospital—still doesn’t know how bad things are. And EJ, the one in the middle of it all, knows that if the truth comes out on Thanksgiving night, the war between the families will begin immediately.

The episode ends with a scene of a ruined dinner table, crying, screaming, and calling each other in chaos — and the question haunting the audience:
“Who is missing? Who took them? And who is manipulating all of Salem?”
