Salem is on the verge of seismic change, and nothing can prepare you for what’s to come in the week of April 21st. The drama ignites in EJ DiMera’s hospital room, where machines hum softly—until Susan Banks storms in like a hurricane of grief and faith. She clutches her son’s hand, whispering prayers only they understand. Just when hope seems lost, a flicker of EJ’s eyelid sparks a wave of emotion. Is this a miracle—or the beginning of something darker?

Across town, secrets crackle like exposed wires. At the Brady Pub, Xander corners Stephanie and Alex, demanding the truth behind their shady dealings. His fury shakes the table, but it’s the confession that follows—corporate betrayals and forbidden love—that threatens to implode Titan and Basic Black alike.

Meanwhile, maternal rage boils over at the Brady house as Kate confronts Rex. His loose tongue has placed her under suspicion in the shooting. Her warning? One more betrayal, and she’ll remind him exactly how lethal love can be.

As dawn breaks, EJ opens his eyes—but his first question, “Where’s Johnny?” kicks off a frantic search. Romance stirs at Sweet Bits Bakery, while jealousy brews in the shadows as Holly plots her own revenge at an upcoming party.

Elsewhere, Belle’s trembling confession rocks EJ’s recovery, hinting at a cover-up that could set the DiMera revenge machine into motion once again. And in the midst of all this, Shawn Brady clutches a miracle: signs that Bo may finally be waking up.

By Friday, Salem will be unrecognizable. Friendships fracture, hearts break, and long-held secrets claw into the light. Prepare for a week of heartbreak, redemption, and unrelenting suspense—because this time, nothing stays buried for long.
