This week on Days of Our Lives, Salem was full of drama as Sophia continued her fake pregnancy scheme while Gwen Rizczech returned, stirring up old tensions. The show delivered shocking twists, emotional confrontations, and unexpected alliances.
Sophia’s Fake Pregnancy Plan Unfolds
Sophia faced the consequences of her secret plan after giving birth alone and leaving the baby at a fire station. She later wore a fake pregnancy belly to keep up the lie, but seeing Leo and Javi bond with the baby made her reconsider.
“I don’t know if I should be impressed or horrified,” Melinda told Sophia after learning she delivered the baby herself by watching a YouTube video.
Meanwhile, Leo struggled with caring for the newborn, named Tesoro (Spanish for “treasure”). He panicked when the baby wouldn’t stop crying and rushed to the hospital, where Kayla helped calm the situation.
Gwen’s Surprise Return Shakes Up Salem
Gwen made a dramatic comeback, shocking Chad and Julie by wearing Julie’s missing Horton family necklace. Julie offered money to get it back, but Gwen refused, hinting at deeper motives.
“Salem, you haven’t seen the last of me,” Gwen had said before leaving town, and her return proved it.
Her reunion with Xander at a bar led to a drunken kiss, complicating his already messy breakup with Sarah. JJ later accused Gwen of stealing the necklace, but she claimed she bought it fairly with Dimitri’s money.
Romance and Rebellion in Salem
While Gwen stirred trouble, young love blossomed elsewhere. Alex admired Stephanie’s dream of becoming a romance novelist, while Holly planned a secret getaway with Tate.
Ari, however, caused chaos by confronting Doug about his shady past and even kissing him, shocking everyone. Rafe later caught her in the act, leaving him with a tough decision.
What’s Next in Salem?
With Sophia reconsidering her choices and Gwen back with unclear intentions, Salem’s drama is far from over. Fans can expect more twists as secrets unravel and relationships are tested.
