As Sophia’s scandal has just cooled down, Salem is in turmoil again with another shock – this time from the Carver family.

Theo, Abe’s good son, is suddenly discovered to be hiding a shocking secret related to Sophia’s case.

It all started when Abe received an anonymous text message containing a recording.

In it, Theo and Sophia were discussing something very suspicious: “Don’t let Brady know.

They will destroy us.” Abe was stunned. The son he trusted the most, the one he always considered the light of his life, appeared in that shady recording.

When Abe confronted him, Theo remained silent. Paulina tried to stop him, saying that there must be a misunderstanding, but Abe’s eyes were no longer the same as before. “What are you hiding from me?” – he asked, his voice choked. Theo did not answer, only said coldly: “If father knew, everything would be worse.”

That night, Abe quietly left the house, went to see Marlena to confide. He admitted that he was lost – between love and doubt. Marlena listened, then only said one sentence: “Sometimes, the truth that comes from the person you love the most is the most painful.”

Meanwhile, Paulina secretly followed Theo and discovered that he had met Sophia the night before she was exposed. The scene of the two standing by the river, talking softly, Theo’s hand shaking when handing Sophia a USB. Paulina hid behind a tree, her heart pounding.

What did that USB contain? Was it evidence against Sophia or a new deal to save her from collapse?

The next day, Abe summoned the whole family. He threw the phone on the table, played the recording again. Paulina cried. Theo bowed his head, silent. Abe only exclaimed: “Who did you do it for?” – a voice that was both angry and hurt.

No one answered. The air was cold. Salem had another crack, this time not because of love, but because of betrayed trust.

As the night fell, Abe looked out the window and whispered, “I can forgive a liar, but I cannot forgive the one who kept silent.” And in a dark corner, Theo quietly shed tears – knowing that sometimes silence is the worst sin.
