If Salem has been through all sorts of disasters, the week the DiMera crypt aired will prove otherwise.

A mysterious figure begins targeting the city’s most powerful family, vaporizing them one by one and dumping them all in the same haunting place: the DiMera crypt.

The place that was once used to bury family secrets has now officially become an underground prison, locking up those who once stood at the top of power.

Above ground, everyone is still trying to act “okay,” but underground, an entire family is struggling just to survive from hour to hour.

It starts with a member disappearing in a way that’s… somewhat familiar. At first, everyone thought it was just a “days of our live” type of “leaving the city to de-stress.” But then another person doesn’t come home, another person “goes missing,” all of them DiMera or directly related to DiMera Enterprises. No one could laugh anymore. Tony, Kristen, Megan, Dimitri, Stefan were crossed off the safe list one by one like a cruel game. Those who stayed behind began to see a pattern: anyone involved with Stefano’s power, wealth, or legacy was in the crosshairs.

Down in the crypt, the drama was no less intense. One could imagine the DiMera siblings, aunts, and grandchildren – who were used to dressing up in fancy clothes and fighting in the boardroom – now tied up, locked together in a cold cellar, not knowing who was behind it. Old conflicts were brought up, the words “you did that to me back then” came back to bite each other in the face. In the darkness, they were forced to ask the hard-to-swallow question: which of them had created an enemy cold-blooded enough to turn their entire family into hostages like this?
