SARAH / BRADY / XANDER — A LOVE TRIANGLE ERUPTS
One of next week’s biggest arcs centers around Sarah Horton, Brady Black, and Xander Kiriakis—a dangerous emotional triangle that threatens to consume them all.
Sarah’s Breakthrough
Sarah has fought through months of emotional devastation and brutal therapy sessions following her paralysis, heartbreak, and betrayal. But next week delivers a rare moment of triumph—one that reminds viewers why Sarah remains one of Salem’s most resilient survivors.
Her physical recovery becomes intertwined with emotional healing, and for the first time in months, Sarah feels hope again. But that hope comes wrapped in unexpected romantic heat.
Brady Opens His Heart
Brady—brooding, flawed, but deeply compassionate—shares an intimate conversation with Sarah that changes the tone of their relationship forever.
In a quiet hospital corner or perhaps a tucked-away room inside the Kiriakis mansion, Brady confesses how her strength has inspired him to confront his own demons. He’s raw. He’s honest. He’s vulnerable—a side of Brady fans haven’t seen in a long time.
For a heartbeat, the entire world stops. Their fingers graze. Their eyes lock. Chemistry ignites.
Xander Explodes
But Salem never lets romance bloom without chaos.
Xander bursts in—furious, possessive, heartbroken. His Scottish accent thickens as emotion overwhelms him. Accusations fly fast and hard—Brady is a vulture, Sarah is being manipulated, and Xander is once again losing the woman he can’t stop loving.
Sarah is torn, and the stage is set for an explosive emotional collision that will dominate the week.
Team Brady or Team Xander?
Salem isn’t ready for the fallout—but fans are already gearing up for war.
ERIC & BELLE VS. EJ — A BRADY-DIMERA SHOWDOWN
At the DiMera mansion, a confrontation brews.
Eric and Belle—siblings, allies, and two of the sharpest minds in Salem—team up for an intense meeting with EJ DiMera, whose smooth exterior is beginning to crack.
Belle, Salem’s fiercest attorney, presses EJ with legal questions. Eric approaches from a moral standpoint, challenging EJ’s recent actions with righteous anger. EJ deflects with charm and half-truths, but the pressure exposes vulnerabilities he’d rather keep buried.
Power shifts. Tension simmers. One wrong move could fracture the DiMera empire.
BRADY REASSURES RACHEL — A FATHER–DAUGHTER HEARTBEAT
Amid all the turmoil, Brady pauses to comfort Rachel, who fears losing her beloved grandmother Marlena Evans. Their emotional moment grounds the episode, reminding viewers how deeply Brady values his family—even while romance and rivalry swirl around him.
JAVY VS. GABI — HERNANDEZ FAMILY FALLOUT
In another corner of Salem, newcomer Javy Hernandez confronts Gabi with accusations that cut deep—scheming, manipulation, betrayal. Gabi fires back with her trademark sarcastic bite. The tension threatens to ignite a full-scale Hernandez civil war.
CHAD UNLEASHES HIS RAGE
Still grieving and spiraling, Chad DiMera detonates in a confrontation with Gabi. His grief over Abigail has twisted into simmering rage, and next week it erupts.
Gabriella refuses to back down, turning their clash into a battle of wills that could reshape DiMera alliances for months.
EJ, RAFE, & LUCAS: THE EXES CLUB
In a surprising lighter moment, EJ, Rafe, and Lucas gather for drinks and confessions. They trade stories about past loves—Sami, Nicole, Hope—with humor, regret, and maybe a spark of future plotting.
This is Days at its classic best—messy, funny, layered, and unpredictable.
BRADY & XANDER’S TENSION BOILS OVER
Following their Sarah showdown, Xander and Brady face off again—this time with sharper digs and deeper emotional scars. Accusations about Kristen, past crimes, and hidden motives fly. The triangle becomes a battlefield.
Shockingly, later in the week, circumstances force Xander to thank Brady—a twist that could shift the entire dynamic.
THEO & JADA — A NEW ROMANCE EMERGES
Theo Carver and Jada Hunter embark on a romantic date filled with charm and spark. But as always, in Salem, romance comes with interruptions, secrets, or danger lurking just around the corner.
STEPHANIE & ALEX — DANGER IN THE SHADOWS
Stephanie and Alex share a rare moment of happiness—but a mysterious threat creeps in. Strange phone calls. Shadows watching them. A stalker? Corporate sabotage? Something is coming, and neither of them sees it yet.
JOHNNY & CHANEL’S PARENTING CRISIS
A baby crisis pushes Johnny and Chanel to their emotional limits. As they desperately try to make things right, EJ frantically attempts to reach his son—only to be repeatedly ignored. This father–son strain adds another fracture to the DiMera legacy.
A HEROIC CAT SAVES THE DAY
In a surprising, comedic twist, a cat foils a robbery—possibly at the Brady Pub or a Salem residence. The scene provides much-needed levity, showcasing Days’ quirky side.
SHAWN SUPPORTS BELLE — A LOVE THAT HOLDS
Shawn steps up for Belle, offering unwavering emotional support as she faces legal and personal conflict. Their bond remains one of the show’s most stable relationships.
RACHEL CONFRONTS SARAH — TINY DETECTIVE DRAMA
Rachel Black becomes Salem’s smallest investigator, spying on Sarah and eventually confronting both Sarah and Brady with childlike honesty:
“Are you stealing my daddy?”
The moment is tense, emotional, and destined to complicate everything.
RAFE & CAP HIT A DEAD END
Another investigation stalls as Rafe and a partner—possibly Cat Green—hit frustrating obstacles. Evidence disappears. Leads evaporate. Someone is hiding something big.
JUSTIN WARNS JENNIFER — DANGER AHEAD
Justin Kiriakis issues a stern warning to Jennifer Horton, hinting she is getting involved in something far riskier than she realizes—possibly tied to her journalism or a revived feud.
JEREMY ADVISES CHAD — BROTHERLY TRUTH
Amid Chad’s fury, Jeremy Horton attempts to ground him, cautioning him not to let anger consume everything he still has left.
CALEB GROWS SUSPICIOUS OF EJ
Caleb Brady senses something off about EJ’s recent moves. His intuition sparks a new line of investigation that could unravel EJ’s latest scheme.
MAD SCIENCE RETURNS: ROLF & MARK’S DARK EXPERIMENT
Deep in a dimly lit, secret lab, Dr. Wilhelm Rolf—master of resurrection, brainwashing, and unholy science—partners with Mark Green for a disturbing experiment tied to Mark’s mother, Katherina.
Katherina suffers early-onset dementia after years of trauma inflicted by Clyde Weston. Mark believes Rolf’s experimental serum—Versix—might save her.
But Rolf’s methods are never safe.
Clyde finds himself strapped to a table, unwilling test subject to the serum. Mark, desperate for a cure and vengeance, injects Clyde while Rolf watches with chilling excitement.
Will the serum heal Clyde… or unleash something darker?
And in the shadows, whispers suggest Rolf may be working on a project connected to Stefano DiMera—a clone, a successor, or another Phoenix rebirth.
Salem may not survive what comes next.
AARON & SOPHIA — MYSTERY, DESPERATION, AND FAMILY TIES
Aaron Green reaches out to Sophia with cryptic calls and urgent messages. Is he trying to reclaim a lost child? Protect her from danger? Or reveal a secret that could change everything?
Their story promises raw emotion and high stakes.
