Salem is no stranger to turmoil, but this week the drama focuses on EJ DiMera – a man accustomed to power, control, and sharp manipulation.

But from the moment the gala begins, EJ seems to no longer be on top; he is standing in the eye of the storm without even realizing it.

Sources reveal that EJ is trying to hide something related to a mysterious laboratory – where “missing people” do not disappear, but are being held for dark purposes.

EJ constantly avoids questions, constantly uses cold eyes to quell the doubts around him, but that very avoidance makes people more suspicious.

Everything begins to collapse when Marlena suddenly collapses. She was the symbol of Salem’s strong spirit, and in that moment, her body betrayed her mind—causing the entire event to freeze. EJ was the first to run, but his expression wasn’t just one of worry; it was one of panic—as if Marlena knew something she wasn’t supposed to.

The situation became even more tense when Tony DiMera showed up with a strange attitude. Tony, normally calm and observant, now circled the gala as if he were looking for something… or someone. When Marlena was rushed into the emergency room, Tony stood in the hallway for a long time, his eyes fixed on the door—not saying a word. That silence sent shivers down the spines of those around him.

Days of Our Lives viewers knew one thing: when EJ lost control, all of Salem would shake. The secrets he’d kept hidden behind his polite smile were rising to the surface. The relationships he thought he’d settled were starting to rebel. And Marlena’s fall could be just the beginning of a bigger blowup.
