The latest Days of Our Lives spoilers promo has set the stage for an intense week in Salem, filled with bombshells, secrets, and life-or-death stakes. Let’s break down the explosive moments that fans can expect to see unfold:

One Story Ends – Doug III’s Departure

The promo opens with a tense moment at Julie’s house as Doug III (Peyton Meyer) makes his exit from Salem, bags packed and ready to leave. His apology to Julie for the trouble he’s caused is heartfelt, but Julie, who has been angry with him for months, softens. “You have a great deal of potential,” she tells him as he walks out the door. Doug leaves, but his departure may signal the end of one chapter and the beginning of many more problems for others. Will Doug’s decision to leave Salem play into larger, unresolved issues, or is this truly the end of his storyline?

A New Life Begins – Marlena’s Shocking Discovery

In Marlena’s townhouse, Tate (Leo Howard) is on the phone with Sophia (Rachel Boyd), anxiously asking, “Are you okay?” before she drops a bombshell: “I had the baby already.” Tate’s face says it all—shock, confusion, and probably a sense of betrayal. This new development could cause ripples across the entire town, especially with Marlena’s psychic abilities and her deep involvement with the people around her. What happens next could completely reshape relationships.

The Clock Ticks – Hypnosis and Hidden Truths with EJ

EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) and Belle (Martha Madison) meet with Marlena to discuss EJ’s ongoing search for the culprit behind the mysterious events plaguing Salem. Marlena uses hypnosis to help him tap into hidden memories, asking him pointed questions: “Who are you talking to? Tell me what you saw.” As the hypnosis deepens, EJ grows visibly agitated, signaling that something explosive is about to be uncovered. What dark secrets is EJ hiding, and how will they come to light under Marlena’s guidance?

Gwen and Gabi’s Deadly Game – Missing DiMeras

Meanwhile, Gwen (Emily O’Brien) and Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) are face-to-face in Horton Town Square, where Gwen taunts Gabi about the mysterious disappearance of her ex-husband, Stefan. “Looks like Dimitri might not be the only DiMera who’s gone MIA,” Gwen slyly remarks, sparking intrigue about what Gabi might know and what is still being kept in the shadows. Could this conversation lead to dangerous revelations, or is it just another power move in their ongoing feud?

Desperate Measures – Holly and Ari’s Escape Plan

Holly (Ashley Puzemis) and Ari (Marissa Reyes) realize that they’re running out of time and need to act fast to save their lives. They find a hidden tunnel in what appears to be a desperate attempt to escape their captivity. “If we can get this grate off, we can crawl our way to freedom,” Ari suggests. The two young women work frantically to open the tunnel, but things go terribly wrong. As one of them screams, “Something’s happening!” the scene cuts to black, leaving fans wondering if they’ll escape in time, or if something worse is lurking in the shadows.

Marlena Collapses – What’s Next for Her?

In the final moments of the promo, Marlena seems to faint in the courtroom, collapsing against Abe’s (James Reynolds) shoulder. A worried Belle (Martha Madison) rushes to her side, calling for help: “Mom, wake up!” Johnny (Carson Boatman) and EJ share a look of concern, signaling that Marlena’s health could be in serious jeopardy. Is Marlena’s collapse related to the hypnosis session, or is something more sinister at play? The mystery surrounding her condition is sure to spark further speculation in Salem.
