In the September 30 episode of Days of Our Lives, the Salem-wide power outage was not only a setting detail, but also became the “trigger” for a series of dramas.

It was in that darkness that the characters who seemed to have kept their distance were forced to face each other, and then love, fear and secrets were exposed in an unexpected way.

First of all, we have to mention Belle and EJ.

When stuck together in the elevator, Belle had nowhere to run.

EJ, taking advantage of this rare private moment, frankly confessed that their love had never cooled down. Belle could coldly refuse, but no one could deny that her eyes in that moment wavered slightly. If it weren’t for the blackout, they probably would never have dared to say this. It was the darkness that opened up the opportunity for EJ to risk betting everything on love.

Meanwhile, Xander and Sarah are also brought back together by the candlelight of the blackout. After months of separation, the icy wall between them begins to melt when they are forced to share the same space, the same bed during the blackout. From gentle words to unconscious touches, every little detail rekindles the flame of love. When the light returns, will they still be able to maintain that warmth, or will it fade away like a dream?
