Not inferior to the Horton family drama, this week’s Gwen – Cat – Brady storyline shook Salem with a series of mind-bending situations.

Gwen, who was used to scandals, was now dragged into an unpredictable psychological game.

She continuously appeared in closed meetings, her eyes evasive, her words half-truthful, half-false, making everyone wonder: What secret is Gwen keeping? An exchange, a hidden envelope, a call in the middle of the night — all made Salem restless.

Cat appeared like a mysterious chess piece. She spoke little, observed a lot, and smiled coldly.

Sometimes Cat stood still in front of Brady Black’s house, holding a file in her hand, then left without a trace. Sometimes she appeared right when Gwen changed her testimony. With each step Cat took, the air became thicker — like the smell of gunpowder ready to explode.

Brady was like “a person caught in the eye of a storm”. Even though he didn’t want to, he was still dragged into the drama from both sides. Brady looked at Gwen with suspicion, but also looked at Cat with caution. One night, Brady banged on Gwen’s door, demanding an explanation. Gwen was startled, trying to hide the paper she was holding. Brady said coldly: “I need to know the truth.” The simple sentence was enough to make Gwen swallow. Her face was pale — she was clearly afraid of something.

The climax of the tension came when the three accidentally met at Salem Square. Cold wind, yellow lights, and a suffocating silence. Cater looked at Gwen — her eyes seemed to remind of a tacit agreement. Gwen looked at Brady, as if asking for help. Brady looked at the two, trying to put the pieces together. Just one word out, and Salem could explode.
