This year’s Thanksgiving in Salem isn’t a lavish feast — it’s a mental battleground.

Roman Brady, a man with a gentle exterior but a razor-sharp inside, has set up a “trivia game” to drag Steve and Kayla into a test of their honesty.

The opening scene is light: a few glasses of wine, some hot food, yellow lights, and a roar of laughter.

But from Roman’s first question, the audience feels like they’re watching… an interrogation wrapped in laughter.

“Who among us has ever hidden something important because we thought we were protecting someone else?” Kayla looks at Steve. Steve looks at Roman. No one answers right away — because this question hits a sore spot for all three of them.

Roman continues to turn up the heat, inserting nostalgia into the game, questions that he knows will break the listener’s heart. The audience watched and wanted to scream: “Who is Roman testing? Kayla or Steve? Or both?” The atmosphere became heavy, no longer the fun of a game — but more like each question was a hammer hitting the secrets they were trying to keep.

The most valuable point of the segment was Roman’s dialogue when he looked straight at Steve and said: “Some secrets can’t be kept hidden forever, especially in family.” The trivia game turned into a psychological game. Kayla breathed heavily, Steve was silent, and Roman… laughed, but the laugh seemed to expose layers of pretense.

And that was the intention: Roman was probing. Not to harm anyone, but to see who was truly willing to share, who was holding something that could destroy this Brady house. Beneath the humorous veneer, this Thanksgiving was a test of truth. And clearly, not everyone passed it easily.
