Meanwhile, Sarah Horton Kiriakis is carrying a burden too heavy to hide much longer. She knows a secret that could destroy lives: Sophia Choi’s baby boy, Tessero, is actually Brady Black’s grandson. Sarah pushes Sophia to tell the truth, urging her to come clean to Brady and Tate, but Sophia digs in, determined to keep the lie alive. Fear and stubbornness drive her, but Sarah knows the truth is a ticking time bomb.
Brady, sharp-eyed and suspicious, begins to notice the tension between Sarah and Sophia. Their hushed arguments and secretive glances fuel his doubts until he finally confronts Sarah head-on. His interrogation is relentless, and Sarah’s guilt begins to eat her alive. Caught between loyalty to Sophia and her growing bond with Brady, Sarah finds herself unraveling. Her connection with Brady deepens in this shared emotional storm, but every tender moment is shadowed by the secret she hides. If Brady discovers the truth through someone else, the fallout could devastate them both. The question isn’t if the secret will explode — it’s when.

Elsewhere, romance takes a complicated turn as Chad DiMera and Cat Green try to nurture their fragile relationship. Just as they begin to find hope in one another, Rafe Hernandez’s sudden involvement raises suspicions. What first seems like an innocent misunderstanding quickly spirals into jealousy and mistrust.

What starts as manipulation quickly turns into something more dangerous — passion. When Gabi and Philip cross the line, their entanglement becomes both a weapon and a liability. For Philip, it risks heartbreak when he discovers Gabi’s ulterior motives. For Gabi, it could mean power or total ruin, depending on which way the fallout swings. Their affair isn’t just a scandal; it’s a fuse waiting to blow, threatening to shake both the Kiriakis and DiMera families.
