Tate Black is having the toughest time of his young life.

Brady’s son now has to watch his family fall apart – while he himself is dragged into Aaron Greene’s troubles.

In the new episode, Tate discovers that Aaron is hiding a shocking secret: he is the biological father of Tesoro – the child listed as “unknown” in Salem hospital records.

The scene where Tate holds the DNA test results, his face frozen, is one of the most precious moments of the week.

He’s not just shocked – he feels betrayed. Aaron, the man he considered a friend, the one who saved him from a minor accident, is now at the center of a scandal that could destroy the entire group’s reputation.

Holly Lennox – Tate’s girlfriend – is the only one who knows the truth. She advises Tate to keep quiet to avoid hurting everyone, but Tate says: “If I don’t tell anyone, I’m lying.” That conversation was like a knife – stabbing straight into their relationship.

At the party in the Square, when Aaron tried to act normal, Tate coldly said: “You should confess before someone else does it for you.” Unbeknownst to anyone, the camera caught Brady’s eyes watching from afar. He knew something big was going on, but he didn’t understand it all. And the audience knew: it was only a matter of time before everything blew up.
