Salem has never been peaceful, especially when Rafe Hernandez and Jada Hunter discover a new clue that sends chills down everyone’s spines.

In the special pre-Christmas episode, the two daring investigators break into the DiMera crypt – rumored to contain the “ghosts” of this sinful family.

But instead of corpses, they discover a stark truth: someone is still there, dying in the darkness.

The search begins when Leo Stark accidentally hears strange knocking on the walls of the tomb.

Rafe is skeptical, but when the cries for help become clear, he immediately calls Jada and together they rush down into the crypt. The air is thick, the flashlight flickers, every step echoes on the cold stone floor – the suspense is like stepping into a horror movie.

Inside, the scene is breathtaking: Kristen DiMera, already severely injured, lies trembling on the ground, while Theo Carver is bound, his head bleeding, breathing weakly. Even more shocking, the mastermind behind this whole affair is Peter Blake, a former relative of the DiMera family. Peter confesses that he “just wanted to teach Kristen a lesson,” but he clearly went too far—putting their lives in the jaws of death.

Rafe and Jada rush in to rescue them, but before they can untie the ropes, Peter throws a smoke bomb and disappears into a secret tunnel. The tense situation reaches its climax when Rafe carries Theo out while Jada performs CPR on Kristen. Amidst the church bells ringing outside, they fight for their lives—a moment that fans have dubbed “the sweatiest Christmas scene in Days history.”
