OMG: Versix Found in Xander’s Office! Philip Set Him Up | Days of Our Lives Spoilers | May 2025

The week of May 14th on Days of Our Lives explodes with one of the most jaw-dropping betrayals Salem has seen in recent memory—a sinister plot woven with jealousy, manipulation, and devastating consequences. At the center of this emotional whirlwind is none other than Philip Kiriakis, whose actions not only sabotage his cousin Xander Cook, but may also cost his own brother Bo Brady his life.

This is no ordinary family feud. What starts as a twisted play for power turns into a dangerous game that risks lives, tears apart relationships, and threatens to destroy the very legacy Philip claims to uphold. At the heart of this drama is a miracle drug, Versix, and a plan so devious, it could only come from someone with nothing left to lose.

Philip, burning with envy and hungry for control, sets his plan in motion by reaching out to Kevin Lambert—a familiar face from Salem’s past and now a researcher working under Dr. Russell at University Hospital. Kevin’s team is developing Versix, a groundbreaking drug that may be the only hope for Bo, who’s fighting a life-threatening case of sepsis.

Using their old connection, Philip manipulates Kevin into stealing Versix. But stealing the drug is just the first step in Philip’s disturbing scheme. His real target? Xander.

Philip plants the stolen drug in Xander’s office, knowing full well that Sarah Horton—Xander’s complicated love interest and a respected doctor—will eventually find it. And when she does, all hell breaks loose. Shocked and hurt, Sarah confronts Xander, who is blindsided. He had no idea about the drug and had, in fact, been planning to support the hospital’s research. But her faith in him begins to crumble under the weight of this apparent betrayal.

Philip watches from the shadows as his plan unfolds exactly as intended—Xander’s reputation is in ruins, and Sarah’s trust is shattered. But what Philip doesn’t anticipate is how high the stakes truly are.

Bo’s life depends on Versix, and with the drug now missing, the clock is ticking. Steve, Kayla, and Shawn frantically search Dr. Russell’s lab, only to discover that every last dose has vanished. Bo is rapidly deteriorating, and without the drug, his chances of survival are slim to none.

Back at the hospital, the fallout is immediate. Dr. Russell is furious and demands answers. Kayla, who vouched for the research project, is caught in the crossfire. Even EJ DiMera is drawn into the chaos, furious that a potential business opportunity for DiMera Enterprises is slipping through his fingers. And yet, no one suspects the true culprit—Philip.

Meanwhile, Kevin begins to crack under the pressure. Guilt eats away at him, especially once he learns that Bo’s life was hanging in the balance. Kevin didn’t sign up for this kind of damage, and now, he’s making mistakes—talking too much, acting suspicious, and drawing attention to himself. As investigators start circling, it becomes clear that someone will break soon—and it might not be Xander.

As Friday’s episode approaches, the tension reaches a boiling point. Salem is in turmoil. Sarah begins to doubt the evidence in front of her and starts digging deeper. She uncovers inconsistencies—details that don’t add up—and her instincts begin to shift. That’s when Philip’s intricate web of lies starts to unravel.

The consequences of Philip’s betrayal begin to close in. His desire to outmaneuver Xander has put Bo’s life in peril, damaged Kevin’s career, shattered Sarah’s heart, and nearly destroyed Xander’s already fragile standing in Salem. The family legacy Philip thought he was protecting now lies in ruins because of his own reckless ambition.

As the walls close in, one question hangs over the Kiriakis family like a storm cloud: Will Philip finally confess, or will someone else expose the truth first? Will Kevin come clean before Bo’s time runs out? And will Sarah believe in Xander before the damage becomes permanent?

This week’s Days of Our Lives is a haunting reminder that in Salem, even the most well-laid plans can spiral into disaster. Philip’s attempt to control everything may ultimately cost him everything—and for Bo, it may cost him his life.
