Philip & Sarah’s Secret Agreement – Will Xander Uncover the Truth?

Philip’s unexpected decision to move into the Kiriakis mansion shocks Kate when she visits his hotel room and finds his suitcases packed. Assuming he is fleeing, she confronts him, only to learn he is relocating to Victor’s estate. Philip claims Xander extended the invitation, and he intends to accept it for stability. However, Kate warns him about living under the same roof as someone he cannot trust. She fears that their secret agreement with Sarah could be exposed at any moment.

Philip reassures Kate that Sarah has just as much to lose as he does. Kate threatens to reveal the truth herself but ultimately decides to trust Philip’s judgment. Despite her reservations, she wishes him well and shares a heartfelt moment with Roman later at the pub.

Meanwhile, Sarah returns home after a long day at the hospital, where Xander surprises her with a romantic evening. Though touched by his gesture, Sarah grows uneasy when their conversation shifts to Philip moving in. She is skeptical of Xander’s trust in him, fearing he will end up hurt. Xander, however, insists he is aware of the risks and is making the decision with open eyes.

Later, Philip arrives with his belongings just as Xander and Sarah share a kiss. Sensing tension, he tries to excuse himself, but Xander asks him to stay and keep Sarah company while he steps out. Alone, Philip and Sarah argue about the arrangement, with Sarah expressing frustration over the close proximity. They both agree their secret must remain hidden.

Xander returns with a surprise—a cake with a shocking message. But as Sarah reads it, her face fills with unease. Could Xander be onto their secret? Or is another unexpected twist looming?
