The tension in Salem is about to reach new heights this Wednesday, August 14th, as the much-

anticipated DNA test results are finally revealed. Chad DiMera finds himself at the center of the storm as

Dr. Kayla Brady hands him the envelope containing the truth about the mysterious woman who could be

Jack Deveraux’s long-lost daughter, Abigail. The room is thick with suspense as Chad prepares to read the results aloud, but his reaction is surprisingly subdued. There’s no shock, relief, or even happiness on his face, leaving everyone, including Jack and the mystery woman, on edge. Has Chad already come to terms with something the others aren’t aware of, or is he simply struggling to process the implications of what these results could mean for his family’s future?

As Chad reads the results, the entire room falls silent. The revelation has the potential to bring long-awaited closure to a painful chapter in their lives or plunge them further into despair. The stakes couldn’t be higher, and the residents of Salem know that whatever happens next will have far-reaching consequences.

Meanwhile, on the lighter side of things, Leo Stark finds himself caught up in a hilariously bizarre situation. He believes he’s been interacting with Marina, but in reality, he’s been dealing with Hattie Adams, Marina’s mischievous doppelgänger. Hattie, ever the trickster, has Leo completely fooled. Their interactions take an increasingly strange turn as Hattie proudly declares herself the star of the show, leaving Leo utterly bewildered. Mistaking Hattie’s eccentric behavior for a serious mental health issue, Leo’s confusion only grows, providing a refreshing dose of humor to an otherwise tense week in Salem.

In a far darker turn of events, Xander Cook’s world is about to be shattered by tragedy. After a joyful post-wedding celebration with Sarah Horton, things take a grim turn when Sarah mysteriously disappears. Xander’s concern quickly turns to panic as he searches for his wife, unaware of the disaster about to unfold. Across town, Brady Black and Fiona’s night of revelry spirals out of control. Too intoxicated to drive, Brady hands the keys to Fiona, who reluctantly takes the wheel. What should have been a simple drive turns into a nightmare when Fiona, impaired by the night’s festivities, accidentally hits Sarah, who had stepped away from Xander for just a moment.

The impact is devastating, and Fiona’s panic sets in as she realizes the gravity of what she’s done. In a moment of sheer terror, she flees the scene, leaving Sarah unconscious and vulnerable on the street. By the time Xander arrives, it’s too late—his wife is lying motionless, and the joy they had just celebrated now hangs by a thread. Xander’s desperate cries for help echo through the night as he frantically tries to revive Sarah, his mind racing with fear and sorrow.

As the week progresses, viewers will be left on the edge of their seats, wondering if Sarah will survive this horrific accident and if Fiona will face the consequences of her reckless actions. This tragedy threatens to shatter the happiness that Xander and Sarah had just begun to enjoy, and the ripple effects of this disaster are sure to be felt throughout Salem.
