If the previous three articles focused on Peter, EJ, Rolf, or Susan – the ones who are directly pulling the strings – this time the perspective focuses directly on what fans are calling “DiMera karma”: the long-standing karma of the entire family coming back to claim it once and for all.

Because this series of kidnappings is not just a simple crime plot, but a collective mirror on the entire most powerful family in Salem – from old to young.

The scary thing is not just that each DiMera was captured, but how they disappeared: at the most important time, at the most vulnerable person.

Chad was arrested right before the Thomas custody trial – the day he had prepared mentally, with evidence, and with a lawyer for a long time.

A gentle but fierce “evaporation”: not appearing in court, immediately losing points in the eyes of the judge, and being locked in the cold crypt, not knowing what fate his child is being decided up there.

Next, Theo – who should be the generation of DiMera with the least drama – is about to join the list of victims. He is the son that Lexie always tried to keep from the DiMera shadow, pushing him towards Carver, towards the law and light. But now, he is being dragged back down into the DiMera crypt, forced to face the dirty secrets that his mother tried to hide. Not to mention, Theo’s disappearance is also another stab to Abe – who is too tired of the DiMera shadow hanging over his family but still can’t escape.
