Following his failed wedding, Leo Stark becomes the center of attention in Salem.

Once known for his wit and humor, he’s now a victim of betrayal by his own heart.

The scene of Leo sitting alone in his dark apartment, surrounded by withered wedding flowers, is truly heartbreaking for fans.

Javi leaves in anger, and Dimitri reappears to “comfort” Leo – but his words are like salt in the wound.

Dimitri says, “You can hate me, but you can’t deny that a part of you still belongs to me.” Leo turns away, but his teary eyes say it all.

The episode’s climax is the flashback: moments of Leo and Dimitri together, interwoven with images of the shattered wedding. Viewers understand that Leo isn’t evil – he’s simply lost between two loves that have both hurt him. On one side is Javi – safe, sincere; on the other is Dimitri – dangerous, seductive, and never lets go.

When Gwen walked into the house and saw Leo holding their wedding photo, she whispered, “If you keep loving the person who makes you suffer, then it’s no longer their fault.” That statement made Leo cry – for the first time in the film, the audience saw him without his comedic mask.
