Salem is in turmoil again when Sarah Horton can no longer stand Xander Kiriakis’ sweet lies.

After a series of evasions, Xander is finally cornered by Sarah: “Either you tell everything, or I’ll walk away forever.”

With no way back, Xander is forced to admit the truth — that he was involved in the attack on Philip Kiriakis and has been hiding it for months.

The scene where Sarah forces Xander to confess is considered the most breathtaking scene this week.

No longer trembling in his voice or crying, Sarah is cold and scary, each word like a knife: “You say you love me but still lie to me?”

Xander’s hands tremble, trying to explain: “I just want to protect you.” But Sarah immediately shoots back: “I just want to protect my selfish ego!”
From Sarah’s eyes, the audience clearly feels: this is not just shock, but the collapse of a love that has been saved many times.

After Xander confessed, Sarah was silent, leaving without saying a word. Xander sat alone, looking around the once warm house that was now cold. The background music played slowly, each beat like the conclusion of an unfulfilled love story.
Fans online commented: “Sarah Horton is now not only a doctor, but also a female warrior that makes even Xander bow down.”
