If Sarah was the focus of an emergency, Gwen Rizczech was the focus of a fiery confrontation that stunned Salem.

In the new series of spoiler photos, Gwen returned with a cold look, her eyes no longer angry but full of murderous intent.

And the character she locked in her sights: Leo Stark.

The encounter took place in a hidden corner of the Horton house.

Gwen stood blocking the door, Leo was in the middle of the room, his eyes bewildered. Gwen asked without beating around the bush:

“How long have you been hiding Dimitri’s story?”

Leo tried to force a smile but his lips trembled visibly. He couldn’t avoid Gwen’s knife-shaped gaze. She approached step by step, asking repeatedly: why did Leo disappear on the night Dimitri was caught leaving town? Why did he delete his text messages? Why didn’t Leo respond when Dimitri called for help?

Spoilers reveal Leo almost bursting into tears, stammering, “I didn’t mean to… I was just scared…” – but Gwen isn’t relenting. She throws a bag of evidence onto the table, which contains an item fans immediately recognize: a handkerchief embroidered with the letter D – an item Dimitri always carries with him.

The air is suffocating. No one appears. Leo is pressed against the wall, Gwen blocks his way out. Next, Gwen says something that makes viewers shudder:

“You’re going to tell the truth this time – or let me tell the police for you.”

Leo swallows, his eyes red, and finally… bows his head.

The rest of the episode doesn’t reveal what Leo confessed, but the trailer shows Gwen walking out of the room with a dangerous smile. Leo slumps down in his chair, holding his head, as if he’s just admitted something he can’t take back.
