Immediately after hearing the confession, Maggie Kiriakis went from stunned to furious.

The always gentle woman now turned into a “judgmental queen”.

She demanded that Xander recount the entire details: “What did you do to Philip? Do you know that you have dragged this whole family into the abyss?”

Sarah tried to stop her, but Maggie shouted: “Don’t defend him, child! He is destroying us all!”

The scene where Maggie banged on the table, demanding that Xander surrender himself was a highlight that made the audience shudder. She declared that she would find a lawyer to reinvestigate the whole case. Meanwhile, Xander just bowed his head, silent. He whispered: “I deserve to be punished.” But the audience knew, in those eyes there was still something left unsaid – was Xander hiding someone else?

Maggie continued to meet Justin and Bonnie to ask for advice, causing the story to spread throughout Salem. The whole city began to stir. Some defend Xander, saying he has changed; others insist he has never escaped the darkness. Maggie, heartbroken, chooses to confront him: “I love Xander like a son, but I cannot protect him from sin.” That statement ends all tolerance – opening the upcoming series of confrontations, where Maggie will stand between two fronts: family and justice.
