As tensions rise in Salem, the week of August 26th, 2024, promises explosive confrontations and shocking revelations. EJ DiMera (Dan
Feuerriegel) and Gabi Hernandez (Camila Banus) are at the center of the action, with EJ’s fiery passion reigniting in surprising ways. Gabi is
plotting her revenge against Stefan (Brandon Barash), and a tense showdown between Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) and Abigail (Marci
Miller) will leave viewers on the edge of their seats.
The preview clip for this week’s episodes shows Gabi smiling mischievously as she sets her plans in motion to get back at Stefan. She knows how to strike when she’s been wronged, and Stefan is starting to feel nervous about what Gabi might do next. As Gabi receives unexpected support from Julie (Susan Seaforth Hayes), things heat up further when she’s coerced into making a difficult decision. This leads to a passionate moment between her and EJ, and the two come dangerously close to sharing a kiss.
Meanwhile, Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) is on the hunt for his wife Abigail, who is caught up in a suspicious meeting with Mark (Jonah Robinson). Chad arrives at the park, only to find Abigail and Mark deep in conversation about their next move. Though it’s unclear if Chad overhears their exchange, it’s clear Mark is hiding something. With his mysterious involvement, viewers are left to wonder what lies ahead for Abigail, especially as Chad becomes more suspicious of her actions.
Elsewhere in Salem, Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) grapples with a major decision. Brady makes a shocking confession at the police station, admitting to Justin Kiriakis (Wally Kurth) that he needs to set things right. This revelation will send shockwaves through Salem, especially as Xander Cook (Paul Telfer) makes a heartfelt promise to Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey), who remains confined to a wheelchair. Xander’s love and devotion to Sarah will be tested, as he vows to be by her side no matter what.
In a subplot involving Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu), there’s a suspect on the loose, and she informs Xander and Sarah about the latest developments. As the police investigation intensifies, Brady’s confession could tie into this mystery, adding further drama to an already action-packed week.
Kristen, always one to stir up trouble, is convinced that Abigail is not who she claims to be. Kristen pleads with Chad to open his eyes, suspecting something off about Abigail’s behavior. But Chad seems blinded by his feelings for Abigail, leaving Kristen frustrated in her attempts to reveal the truth. As Kristen pushes Chad to confront reality, Abigail’s secrets threaten to unravel.
The week also brings a fiery clash between Connie (played by an undisclosed actor) and Melinda (Tina Huang). Connie’s reckless games take a dangerous turn, as she underestimates Melinda’s resolve. Ava Vitali (Tamara Braun) also finds herself in a heated confrontation with Kristen, adding another layer of tension to the week’s events.
As Friday’s episode approaches, Gabi gives EJ an ultimatum that could change the course of their relationship. The stakes are higher than ever as Gabi’s determination grows, and EJ must choose carefully how he responds. Connie, meanwhile, makes it clear that she’s not here to play games with Ava, issuing a stern warning about the consequences of crossing her.
