While Jennifer and Cat represent the past and ambition, Sophia brings the darkest side of love on Days of Our Lives.

This week, viewers will witness Sophia plotting to trick Tate – who was once blindly in love with her – with an elaborate plan that will make him lose everything: trust, honor, and possibly freedom.

The episode opens with Sophia sitting alone in her office, looking at a photo of her and Tate on the desk.

Her smile is as light as dew, but her eyes are cold.

She picks up the phone and calls a mysterious person: “The plan is going as planned. He will sign tonight.”

Meanwhile, Tate – who still believes Sophia is just a victim of rumors – comes to her with flowers and an apology. He says: “I know you are hiding something from me, but I believe you have your reasons.” Sophia turns around, hugs him, tears rolling down her face… but they are not real tears. She whispers: “Of course, I just want us to be happy.”

The climax takes place in the office late at night: Sophia hands Tate the investment contract, tactfully stating that it is only a temporary power of attorney. Without a doubt, Tate signs – and at that moment, she breaks into a triumphant smile. The camera pans to the paper: the small words “Transfer control of assets to Sophia Grey.”

The next day, when Tate discovers he has been tricked, he looks for Sophia in anger. But instead of being scared, she raises her head, looks straight at him: “You loved me because I was smart – now you hate me for it.” Then she walks away, leaving Tate with teary eyes, screaming: “Sophia! Why did you do this?”

The episode ends in a metaphorical scene: Sophia stands on the Salem Bridge, the wind blowing, her phone ringing – it’s a text message from her accomplice: “Tate has fallen into the trap. Phase two begins.” She smiles mysteriously, whispering back: “Love is always the easiest way to destroy a man.”
