Salem is experiencing an unprecedented night: the entire city is plunged into darkness due to a power outage.

And at that chaotic moment, Marlena Evans – a resilient woman who has overcome countless events – suddenly collapses.

The scene makes fans’ hearts stop: Marlena lies motionless, her face pale in a dark room.

With no light, no control, she faces her own fragility head-on.

Luckily, Susan Banks appears. Although often remembered as a quirky character with unpredictable premonitions, Susan is the one who is by Marlena’s side in the moment of danger. The image of her kneeling down, calling for her friend in the dark makes the audience suffocate.

This raises a series of questions: Did Marlena faint just because of stress, or is there another secret illness? Is this blackout just an excuse, and the real danger is aimed at her? With a history of near-death experiences, Marlena’s collapse not only worries fans, but could also be the beginning of a new storm in Salem.
