Salem seemed to have calmed down after a series of storms, but the new Days of Our Lives promo has left fans on edge.

In the upcoming episode, Eli Grant will confront Valerie Grant – the biological mother he once trusted completely – in a tense and breathtaking confrontation.

The tagline “The truth always comes out in the end” has now become a knife that splits Salem’s once closest mother-daughter relationship in two.

For weeks, viewers have felt the unstable atmosphere in the Grant family.

Eli begins to suspect that Valerie is hiding something related to his biological father – who she always said had disappeared many years ago. When a strange envelope arrives at Eli’s office with the words “Ask your mother”, the secret that Valerie has kept for many years begins to crack. The promo shows Eli banging on the table, shouting: “How long are you going to lie to me?” while Valerie trembles, tears rolling down her face.

The situation becomes more dramatic when Austin Reed suddenly appears at Grant’s house, bringing information that shocks Eli: his father is still alive – and used to live right in Salem. The scene where Austin looks at Valerie, then coldly says: “You can lie to your son, but you can’t bury the past.” – makes the atmosphere explode. Eli staggers, unable to believe what she hears.

The film promises to push Valerie to a dead end when every word she says only hurts Eli more. “You are the most precious thing I have…” – she chokes – but Eli interrupts: “No, I’m just afraid the truth will make me lose face.” This line is predicted to become an iconic moment, marking a complete rift between the two characters who were once most deeply attached.
