Maggie Kiriakis – a woman admired for her kindness – has officially entered a nightmare when Sarah Horton exposes the secret that shakes Salem.

In the new episode, Sarah not only uncovers the past but also releases evidence so sharp that Maggie stands still, speechless.

The story that has been hidden for so long is related to a decision Maggie once made – a decision that Sarah believes ruined her life.

The scene where Sarah puts the file on the table, her eyes dry: “Mom lied. And I can’t forgive.”

Maggie hears that, her eyes red, her hands shaking, grabbing the edge of the table to keep from falling. Xander – who is standing next to her – is also shocked. He used to think Maggie’s past was complete, but it turns out that it was only the surface. The scene where Xander steps back, avoiding Maggie’s gaze, makes DAYS fans heartbroken: between love and truth, Xander falls into an uncertain void.

The drama reaches its climax when Sarah reveals: “If Mom had told me earlier, I wouldn’t have lost everything.” That “everything” makes the whole room freeze. Although details are unclear, fans speculate that Sarah once sacrificed a great opportunity, or suffered severe mental damage from the indirect consequences of Maggie’s actions.

Another shocking detail: Sarah has in her hands a video – evidence Maggie tried to hide. When Sarah plays the video, Maggie collapses in her chair, hands covering her mouth, sobbing. Xander stands between the two most important women in her life, torn in two. This episode has many fans saying: “Maggie doesn’t need a villain. The past is the destroyer.”
