To wrap up the spoilers, post #5 looks at the whole Salem drama this week: everything is secretly connected.

Sarah almost dies from an allergic reaction

Gwen sets Leo up

Kayla reveals a secret to Belle

Brady prepares to reveal the horrifying truth

All of it — it all leads to a “black spot” in the story. A big conspiracy that each character only sees a small part of. Salem is like a taut net: if one knot is released, the whole thing will snap.

Sarah lying motionless, Gwen looking through the glass, Leo tremblingly holding the phone, Belle sighing and bowing her head, and Brady clenching her fist… create the perfect montage for the big bang. Next week’s DOOL isn’t just drama, it’s a power shift: the weak become strong, the strong are exposed, the innocent are attacked, and the guilty are hidden deeper.
