The biggest shock in all of the DiMera drama is the excavation of the family crypt, revealing human bones beneath the floor.

Those trapped in the tomb – from Tony, Chad, Kristen to Theo – initially just wanted to find a way out: they broke bricks, pried open stones, hoping for a tunnel connecting to the famous underground network surrounding the DiMera estate.

But instead of an escape, they stumbled upon a deadly secret: beneath the concrete lay a skeleton.

No headstone, no name, no proper burial – just a corpse hidden like trash.

The moment Theo picks up a bone, his face turning pale, while the others try to remain calm but their eyes are filled with panic, that’s when viewers understand: the DiMera family has officially been held accountable by their past in the truest sense of the word. The first name that comes to mind for the audience, and probably for Chad as well, is Abigail. For a long time, Salem has been whispering about Abigail’s grave being dug up, her body not in the place where it should be.

There are countless theories, from body swapping to secret relocation. Now, the fact that human bones lie right under the feet of DiMera’s descendants in a crypt that symbolizes all the faking deaths, kidnappings, and concealments of this family, sounds like the universe deliberately poking at their sore spot. The police will, of course, get involved, and the DNA test results will be a ticking time bomb hanging over everyone’s heads. If it’s Abigail, Chad will suffer a second psychological blow: not only will he lose his wife, but he’ll also learn that she was thrown under the floorboards like something to be hidden, not someone to be laid to rest.
