After a series of breakdowns, Stephanie Johnson suddenly stood up.

In a live talk show, she spoke frankly about being manipulated and taken advantage of.

“If I’m at fault for telling the truth, then their fault is for not having the courage to face it.”

Salem ended the tumultuous week with a ray of hope: the bad guys may win some battles, but the honest ones never lose forever. And somewhere in the dark room, E.J. DiMera looked up at the TV screen and smiled faintly: “This game is not over.”
