While everyone was busy dealing with Sophia and Holly, Days of Our Lives dropped another bombshell that sent fans into a frenzy: Jack Deveraux and Jennifer Horton are officially back in Salem – and with them a secret that could change the entire power dynamic.

In Friday’s episode, Johnny, Brady, and Chanel were investigating the Tesoro case when they received a sudden call: Jack and Jennifer had just flown back from Europe.

But unlike their usual calm demeanor, the two appeared in a heavy mood, carrying a thick envelope of documents.

Jennifer whispered, “What we found in Zurich… could blow Salem up.”

Soon after, the audience was taken to a flashback scene – when Jennifer rummaged through an old warehouse and found financial contracts signed by Tony DiMera and Philip Kiriakis, revealing that the two had secretly manipulated the Tesoro project for years.

The scene where Jack confronts Tony in the DiMera office is considered “the pinnacle of acting”. Jack slams the file on the table, shouting:

“How many lives have you had to die to keep this power?”

Tony coldly replies: “Do you think Salem exists without blood, Jack?”

The situation becomes more intense when Xander and Maggie also join the fight, trying to protect the Kiriakis family name. Maggie tells Jennifer: “Don’t destroy what we built just because of the past.” But Jennifer only replies: “This past is killing Salem, Maggie.”

The episode ends with Jack opening the USB stick that Holly left behind (anonymously sent to him). On the screen appears the words: “Tesoro owns you all.”

Jack is stunned, and Jennifer holds his hand tightly: “We have to tell everyone… before it’s too late.”

On social media, Days fans go crazy. The hashtag #JackAndJenAreBack explodes globally. One fan wrote: “When Jack and Jennifer return, it means Salem will burn again.”
