Salem has not yet calmed down after the troubles at Titan and the power outage, when a new series of dramas continues to explode, revolving around Marlena’s health and EJ DiMera’s power plots.

While the characters are struggling to find a way out, their close friendship gradually turns into a tense confrontation.

In the first episodes of next week, Marlena makes the whole family worried when she receives worrying medical news.

She has been a spiritual support for many people in Salem, from Brady to Belle, but this time she is the one who needs care.

In an emotional scene, Marlena suddenly collapses, leaving Belle crying out for her mother in despair. The audience cannot help but shudder when seeing the “national psychologist” who is strong now so weak.

While Marlena struggles with her health, EJ continues to make new political moves. He reveals to Stephanie his plan to expand his influence through a controversial project, and does not hesitate to confront Belle directly when questioned. The conversation between Belle and EJ, with harsh words, shows that Salem is about to enter another power struggle, where truth and interests are intertwined into a maze that is difficult to escape.

Not only that, Marlena’s illness also creates a division in close relationships. Sarah, who is wavering between Xander and Philip, is drawn into a series of disputes when trying to reconcile. Brady is in a deadlock, even thinking about quitting his job at Basic Black due to the pressure and feeling of helplessness when seeing his mother weaken.
