While Salem has seen many strange alliances, this week marks one of the most surprising combinations: EJ DiMera and Theo Carver unexpectedly join forces.

The two are from two different worlds:

– EJ: sharp, cold, always plotting.

– Theo: gentle, practical, and rarely involved in power drama.

Yet now they appear together in a closed room, talking as if preparing for a big plan.

What surprised the audience even more: Theo looked at EJ with eyes that were not worried or suspicious — but determined.

Leaked information said that the two were searching for a secret person causing instability in the DiMera family. But in Salem, nothing is that simple. Some suspect EJ is using Theo for his technological prowess. There are also rumors that Theo has personal motives, wanting to find the truth regarding a past event that the DiMera family once hid.

What is certain is that this handshake is not a “we’re all for Salem” reconciliation, but rather a preparation for a big move that will leave many other characters in a passive position. Belle, Chad, Paulina, even Johnny — everyone is at risk of falling victim to EJ & Theo’s chain of actions.

When the two leave the room, EJ’s eyes are mysterious, while Theo looks relieved, as if he’s just untied a big knot. The combination of EJ’s cold intellect and Theo’s ability to analyze logic will surely create a new storm of power. And Salem — already troubled by Marlena’s illness — is now about to be hit by another wave of instability.
