Salem is rocked when what should’ve been a peaceful christening turns into the kind of gathering where every smile is a mask and every “blessing” feels like a dare.

Trey’s christening becomes the city’s pressure point — because the moment people pack into one room, secrets don’t stay quiet… they start hunting for air.

And with whispers that Sophia could be nearby, the celebration doesn’t feel holy — it feels like bait.

Chanel takes the hardest emotional hit, because she’s trying to hold the image of “family” together while her body and instincts scream that danger is circling.

One shaky breath, one sudden wave of sickness, one moment where she can’t keep the façade up — and the entire room will sense the crack. Johnny’s panic won’t be subtle either, because he won’t just fear embarrassment… he’ll fear losing Chanel, losing control, and losing safety all at once.

Someone has been silent about Sophia’s real movements. Someone has been hiding details, manipulating what gets shared, and letting fear spread so the truth stays buried. This wasn’t just a christening… it became a bombshell trap that detonated into a chain reaction of suspicion and betrayal, leaving scars that won’t fade, changing lives in ways that can’t be undone, with consequences that will linger for years.
