If the hospital drama makes Salem restless, then the psychological storm in Bayview is what makes Days fans really suffocate.

The two names that are making the audience shiver the most: Sophia Choi and Rachel Black – two broken souls, two people with too many cuts in the past, and now being placed in the same psychiatric treatment room.

Sophia – the girl who used to be like a block of ice: sitting motionless, not speaking, not reacting – suddenly wakes up in the middle of the night.

That scene is so cold that everyone who watches it gets goosebumps: Sophia opens her eyes, stands up, walks straight to Rachel’s bed and whispers something only Rachel can hear.

Viewers don’t know what Sophia said, but Rachel’s eyes reflect enough: shock, fear, and… understanding?

From that moment, the energy between them changed completely. Rachel – full of secrets and always on the lookout for herself – no longer seems wary of Sophia. Instead, there’s silence, but not tension. There’s a sense of “knowing each other from a long time ago,” as if Sophia woke up to tell Rachel: “I understand you.”

Fans immediately came up with a conspiracy theory: Sophia didn’t wake up randomly. She woke up after Rachel showed up – and Rachel is carrying secrets, guilt, and the fear that if someone told her, everything would fall apart. Is Sophia really a patient? Or did she wake up because she knew Rachel needed an ally?

And don’t forget: outside Bayview, the DiMera family is scrambling to find Chad, and Marlena is struggling to cope with her illness. If Sophia and Rachel are on the same side – for whatever reason – these two girls could very well be the link that pushes Salem down the cliff.

Leo leaked in a hospital hallway scene: Sophia looks at Rachel with an “I know everything” look. Rachel turns back, not angry, not afraid, just a nod in response. Fans analyze this scene a lot – because it feels more like an “alliance confirmation” than any dialogue.

No one knows what they will do. Avoid the storm? Create a storm? Or light the spark that will burn Salem? But one thing is clear: Sophia wakes up not to heal. But to start a new game. And Rachel – who is right at the center of the drama – now has the most dangerous ally in Bayview.

If the two of them decide to join hands? Salem will definitely have no peaceful path.
