The drama reaches its peak when Tate Black’s (Leo Howard) storyline explodes.

After a seemingly sincere conversation with Sophia, Tate realizes the harsh truth: the adoption photo is fake, and the “open adoption” agreement does not exist at all.

He does not know the whole secret, but it is enough to make his world collapse.

In the dark room, Tate screams: “Why did you lie to me?

Why couldn’t you just tell the truth?” His voice echoes, filled with anger. Sophia stands opposite, tears streaming down, trying to explain but is helpless. The audience almost feels the air in the room is suffocating, as if the love between them has been crushed into ashes.

This moment is expected to be one of the most emotional segments of the episode. Tate – a young man full of enthusiasm – now only has the bitterness of betrayal left. Sophia, despite her love, cannot prevent tragedy when her lies are gradually exposed.

What makes viewers more excited is: when the whole truth is exposed, what will Tate do? Forgive to save love, or turn away to start a war? Salem is about to witness a relationship on the brink of collapse.
