In Salem’s chaos, another development quietly grows: Gabi Hernandez sees what others miss, and she doesn’t hesitate to pull Theo Carver back to safety.

Theo – with his innocence and enthusiasm – is unwittingly falling into the area that Cat is setting a trap for.

That’s why Gabi gives a warning that seems light but is actually like a slap in the face.

Theo has always had a good heart. But kindness is sometimes the door for bad people to take advantage of.

He trusts Cat, believes in sweet words, believes in the admiration Cat shows for him. Gabi, more experienced, more astute, immediately recognizes the “smell of danger”. She observes the way Cat avoids, the way she casts a cold look behind her, the way Cat “cares” a little too much about EJ or Jennifer’s lawsuit.

When Gabi told Theo outright that he was near something “unsafe,” Theo was silent. He didn’t argue, nor did he agree. But his troubled eyes showed: Gabi’s words were starting to create cracks in her blind trust. Gabi didn’t elaborate, but the implication was clear: Cat seemed to be using Theo as a pawn in a larger plan. And once she was pulled in, getting out wouldn’t be easy.

Viewers sensed the anxiety in Gabi’s every word. She had been through many power struggles, had been stabbed in the back, had been betrayed by people she thought she could rely on. That’s why she knew when a storm was brewing. Theo was too gentle, too innocent, too trusting — and that was why Gabi was scared.

A short conversation between them, but it revealed a whole new layer of drama. Because if Cat really wanted to control EJ, then intervene in the custody case, then where did Theo fit in? A prey? A weapon? Or is it evidence that Cat will exploit when needed?

Gabi’s courage not only saves Theo from a trap, but also opens up a new line of investigation. When someone like Gabi sees danger, the audience knows for sure: it’s no longer a doubt. It’s the truth waiting to explode.
