It seemed like the drama only revolved around adoption, but Days of Our Lives always knows how to make the audience “suffocate” on another level.

After Leo revealed shocking information, Paulina Price – Chanel’s mother – stepped into the light, admitting that she knew part of the truth before.

According to Yahoo Entertainment, Paulina was involved in the “medical record swap” case in the past, related to Salem Hospital.

One of the edited records belonged to Trey’s real biological mother – who may have been… a relative of the Price family.

This makes the adoption not only legally problematic, but also ethical.

In the tense conversation between mother and daughter, Chanel shouted: “You knew everything and still let me sign?” Paulina coldly replied: “Because if you say so, I will never have the chance to be a mother.”

A sentence that made the audience choke. She believed she was protecting her daughter, but in fact pushed her into the middle of the scandal storm.

At the same time, Johnny continued to investigate and discovered a recording: Paulina had met Leo at a coffee shop and paid to “keep quiet” about the file. When Johnny played the recording for Chanel, she was stunned: “Are you all lying to me?”

The episode climaxed with Chanel holding her child and running into the rain, Johnny chased after her but was stopped by Paulina. She shouted: “Sometimes telling the truth doesn’t save anyone!”

The final scene was slow motion: Chanel stood in the rain, holding Trey in her arms, crying and saying: “You will grow up without anyone lying to you like they lied to me.”
