Salem exploded this week when the dark truth about Sophia Choi was revealed right before everyone’s eyes.

With nowhere to hide, no one to believe, Sophia – the girl who once made the whole town feel sorry for her – now became the center of a scandal that left everyone breathless.

The story begins when Brady suddenly revealed to Tate that he was not the father of Sophia’s unborn child.

The statement seemed light, but it made Tate’s world collapse in just a few seconds.

He didn’t believe it, then wanted to believe it. But when all the details started to match – Sophia’s avoidances, her vague promises – Tate knew he had been betrayed.

Meanwhile, Holly prepared to leave Salem, carrying her unhealed wounds to Paris to start over. She was tired of the lies, tired of always being the “secondary victim”. But fate wouldn’t let her go easily. Before leaving for the airport, Tate came to her, his face full of despair: “Are you really going to leave? Are you going to leave everything halfway?”

Holly stood still, tears welling up in her eyes. She couldn’t turn back, but she couldn’t leave either. In the moment when she thought she was leaving, Tate told her everything – about Brady’s confession, about Sophia lying to everyone. “I need you to stay,” he said, “because only you can see the truth.”

At that moment, Holly understood: she was no longer the weak girl who wanted to run away. She returned to Salem, and together with Tate, they began their journey to expose everything.

That night, they gathered in the tense house with Johnny, Brady, and Marlena. Sophia was invited – but in reality, she was “set up”. Tate opened his laptop and played a recording of her voice saying: “Don’t let anyone know – especially Brady.” The whole room held its breath.

Sophia tried to deny it, tried to cry, but everyone understood. Holly walked up to her, looked straight at her, and said, “I just want to know, is there any truth in all those lies?” Sophia burst into tears, collapsed on the floor, and admitted everything.

Finally, she uttered the name that no one expected: the baby’s father was Aaron Greene. Tate was silent, Brady was stunned, and Holly just stared. Salem was shaken, and Sophia knew: from now on, no one would stand by her.
