Salem welcomes Theo Carver back, but this homecoming is not easy.

The young man carries too many wounds: the breakup with Claire has not yet subsided, Salem’s rapid changes have confused him, and now he is faced with a hidden offer from Tony DiMera.

In the warm living room, Paulina sits down next to her son, gently puts her hand on his shoulder and says: “You are never alone.

No matter how Salem changes, you still have this family.”

Abe continues, advising her son not to let the pain hold him back, but instead to move forward and consider new opportunities. The scene is full of family affection, but also contains anxiety: is Tony’s offer really a new beginning, or a trap set by the DiMera family?

Viewers are left to debate: Are Abe and Paulina really telling their son to move on, or are they secretly warning him about the DiMera forces? Either way, Theo is at a dangerous crossroads: one wrong move could send him spiraling into a vortex of intrigue, but turning down an opportunity could mean missing out on a career turning point.

More than just a son’s story, this is a testament to the strength of family on Days of Our Lives: when storms strike, parental love is the anchor that keeps children from drifting. But Salem has never been gentle – and viewers know that Theo’s real test is just beginning.
