Just when the audience thought the storm had passed, Days of Our Lives threw a powerful twist: a kidnapping and a mysterious proposal took place just hours after the gala, plunging Salem into chaos.

According to the preview, when the party had just ended, the hall lights went out, a scream rang out.

Police discovered signs of a struggle near the parking lot – and the victim was suspected to be an important female character of the Horton family.

People were still confused when the promo clip continued to reveal the scene of a man wearing an engagement ring in the middle of the chaotic scene – leaving everyone stunned.

Fans predicted that it could be EJ proposing to Sami as a “fire-fighting” tactic after the scandal, but the spoiler suggested another twist: the ring belonged to a completely new character, who was related to the kidnapping.

While the Salem police search for clues, Maggie Horton delivers shocking news to Sarah about Xander Cook – that he may be involved in the “gala operation.” Meanwhile, Kayla and Jennifer receive an anonymous postcard that reads:

“We took one of yours. You want peace? Keep your mouth shut.”

The characters diverge: Sami suspects Lucas; Lucas trusts EJ; Will secretly follows the clues from the surveillance video. All roads lead to the same name – Horton Clinic, once a symbol of saving lives, now the starting point of a chain of sins.

The episode ends with a gift box being delivered to the DiMera home, revealing a group photo from the gala, but the face of the abductee has been cropped out.

At that moment, Sami’s phone rings: a text message appears –

“This time, the missing person is not coming back.”
