While Salem is mired in suspicion and secrecy, Brady Black and Sarah Horton’s love story — which seemed like a peaceful haven — is shaken violently. It all started with the appearance of Xander Cook. Uninvited. Unexpected.

But Xander always knows how to show up at the right time… and make everything worse.

Opening scene: Brady and Sarah are getting ready for a quiet evening. Sarah smiles softly, her hand on Brady’s shoulder.

But when the door opens and Xander walks in, that smile fades immediately.

Xander stands there, not causing trouble, not yelling — just watching. But that look is enough to make Brady clench his fists, and Sarah take a deep breath.

According to spoilers, Xander brings a “message” or “document” that forces Sarah to confront her old fears. A reminder that the past is never far away, and that she may lose more than she thought. Brady tried to shield himself, trying to say firmly: “You have no right to interfere in our business anymore.” But Sarah was shaken. And that was the weakness.

That night, when the two were alone, there was an unnameable distance between them. Brady wanted to hug Sarah, but she stood in a corner, looking out the window. “I’m not sure… I’m strong enough to face this,” Sarah exclaimed. Brady was silent, his eyes sad. No one blamed the other, but both knew their hearts were skipping a beat.

The final scene showed Sarah sitting alone in the dark, her eyes filled with tears, while Brady stood outside the door, holding her hand but not daring to knock. A love that was once strong… now wavering because of a third person who knew how to “choose the right time”. DOOL is literally paving the way for a big twist: whose side will Sarah stand on? Brady — or her own past?
