It was thought that everything revolved around the accident, but Salem is about to explode when the identity of the kidnapper is revealed.

In the leaked trailer, the audience was shocked to see Kristen DiMera – a character who had disappeared – tied up in a dark room, her mouth covered with a bandage, her eyes full of fear.

A familiar voice rang out from the darkness: “You should stay where you belong.”

The next scene revealed a classic twist: Sami was the one who orchestrated Kristen’s kidnapping, with the goal of regaining control of DiMera Enterprises.

She believed Kristen had evidence that E.J. was hiding sins in the corporation’s finances. It was all sewn up with the “marry to take over” plan – but this wedding will not go as planned.

Meanwhile, at the Salem church, E.J. prepare for a “surprise engagement” ceremony aimed at reasserting DiMera power. But when the priest asks, “Does anyone object to this marriage?” – the door opens and Sami appears, walking in a black dress. She screams: “I object – because the man you’re marrying is a traitor, and the bride is in my custody!”

The church falls silent. Kristen is dragged out, E.J. is stunned, Jennifer collapses, and Chad throws a punch straight at his brother’s face. The chaotic scene leaves Days fans “on the edge of their seats”. Finally, Sami leaves amid police sirens, but not before turning back to say a chilling sentence: “Don’t think I’m a villain – I’m just doing justice.”

The end of the trailer shows Sami on a plane leaving Salem, her eyes pensive. The narrator’s voice rings out: “In Salem, no one is innocent. Only the first to strike.”
