Not only is the DiMera family causing a stir, next week’s Days of Our Lives will also delve into the complex emotional lines between Brady and Sarah —

a duo that is both hurt and trying to be strong, creating the most worried and curious pair of characters for fans.

Spoilers reveal that Brady is at his limit after Rachel’s constant trouble has made him lose points with the community and his family.

In the midst of the crisis, Brady turns to Sarah — the only person who listens to him without judgment.

Sarah, who is struggling with the scandal surrounding her daughter and her ex, sees the same pain in Brady.

In a scene Yahoo described as an “emotional tipping point,” Brady confesses that he “wanted to disappear from Salem for a while,” shocking Sarah. But the next second, they have an unexpected moment of intimacy — a light, shaky handshake that makes them both back away, as if afraid they’ve crossed a line.

The drama begins when Xander, who’s been keeping an eye on Sarah, begins to get suspicious. Spoilers reveal that Xander accidentally saw Brady and Sarah in a situation that’s “too intimate to be just friends.” Xander’s face turns from calm to angry — signaling the coming storm.

Meanwhile, eagle-eyed fans have noticed a detail: Cat knows about this before Xander does. A spoiler shows Cat standing from afar, watching Brady and Sarah, smiling meaningfully. For someone like Cat, information is always currency. And when she’s about to push EJ into a trap, using the Brady-Sarah story as fuel could create chaos on multiple levels.
