No one expected that a peaceful evening at Stephanie Johnson and Alex Kiriakis’ apartment would turn into a milestone that would shake Salem.

While cleaning out the storage room, Stephanie discovered an old metal box hidden in the back of a closet.

When they opened it, they were shocked: inside were secret photos – featuring many of Salem’s most powerful figures, including EJ DiMera.

Alex’s hands trembled, and Stephanie looked at him and said, “If these photos are real, someone is controlling us all.”

They quickly pieced together the clues and realized that the box was related to a series of insider trading that had occurred years earlier – the very thing that nearly brought the Kiriakis family down.

Immediately after the discovery, the two were followed. A strange figure appears outside the window, and when Stephanie turns around, the photo of EJ in her hand is gone. The writer has created a tense atmosphere – both mysterious and imminent danger.

The episode ends with the sound of a phone ringing in the night. A strange male voice on the other end: “You two shouldn’t open that thing.” The sentence is enough to make the audience hold their breath. What is in the box that can change Salem? And who is behind it all?
