DAYS OF OUR LIVES SPOILERS: MOTHER KNOWS BEST – MAGGIE CAUGHT BETWEEN SARAH’S BOMBSHELL CONFESSION AND VIVIAN’S REVENGE PLOT

Thursday’s episode of Days of Our Lives is about to blow the roof off Salem with family secrets, maternal wisdom, and a snake in the grass ready to strike! And trust me, soap fans, you are NOT ready for what’s coming.

SARAH’S DEVASTATING CONFESSION LEAVES MAGGIE STUNNED

In what promises to be one of the most emotional mother-daughter moments we’ve seen in ages, Sarah Horton Kiriakis finally comes clean to Maggie Horton Kiriakis about the bombshell she’s been hiding. And it’s a DOOZY.

After weeks of carrying this burden alone, Sarah crumbles under the weight of her deception and spills everything to her mother about the forged letter situation. I’ve been WAITING for this moment! Maggie’s face says it all – disappointment mixed with that unique brand of maternal understanding that only someone who’s weathered decades of Salem storms could muster.

“Lies only get more painful with time,” Maggie tells her daughter in what might be the understatement of the year. Talk about wisdom that can only come from surviving everything from paralysis to prison to losing the love of her life!

While Maggie processes this whopper of a confession, she doesn’t waste time before giving Sarah the tough love she needs – urging her to come clean to Xander before he learns the truth from someone else. And by someone else, we mean…

VIVIAN ALAMAIN SLITHERS INTO XANDER’S OFFICE WITH REVENGE ON HER MIND

Too late, Maggie! While the mother-daughter heart-to-heart is happening, Vivian Alamain has already made her move, sneaking into Xander’s office like the snake she is!

A preview clip shows Vivian dropping her bombshell on the unsuspecting Titan co-CEO, and you can just FEEL the satisfaction oozing from her as she prepares to blow up his world. This woman has been plotting this moment, savoring it like fine wine! Is there anything more delicious than watching Vivian exact revenge? (The answer is no. No there is not.)

Will Xander believe Vivian’s revelation about the forged letter? Or will he dismiss her claims as the ramblings of his uncle’s ex? Either way, the fallout from this is going to be NUCLEAR.

KIRIAKIS BROTHERS AT WAR

Meanwhile, things are heating up between Philip Kiriakis and Alex Kiriakis as family tensions reach a boiling point. Alex knows about the forgery and has been strong-armed into keeping quiet – but that silence is clearly eating him alive.

Philip’s desperation to keep his scheme under wraps has put him at odds with his half-brother, and Thursday’s confrontation promises to be explosive. When two Kiriakis men lock horns, nobody walks away unscathed! And let’s be honest – neither of these guys is known for keeping their cool under pressure.

Could this be the moment Alex finally breaks and spills everything? Or will Philip find a way to keep his brother in check just a little longer? Either way, the clock is ticking on this family secret!

STEPHANIE SEEKS MATERNAL WISDOM FROM KAYLA

Like mother, like daughter – Stephanie Johnson turns to her mom, Kayla Johnson, for some much-needed advice. My guess? She’s struggling with her role in this whole forgery mess, having been the one who overheard Philip and Kate discussing it in the first place.

Kayla’s moral compass has always pointed true north, so I can’t wait to see what wisdom she shares with her daughter. Something tells me she’ll be shocked to learn about Sarah’s role in all of this – after all, they’re both respected doctors, and this level of deception isn’t exactly covered in the Hippocratic Oath!

Will Kayla encourage Stephanie to come forward with what she knows? Or will she suggest staying out of Kiriakis family drama? (Has staying out of drama EVER worked in Salem? I think not!)

OUTSIDE SALEM: MARLENA AND STEVE FACE ORPHEUS

While family secrets threaten to implode the Kiriakis clan, Marlena Evans and Steve Johnson are fighting their own battle against the dangerous Orpheus as they search for answers about John Black.

Steve may have told Marlena it was time to go home, but “Doc” isn’t having ANY of it. Her determination to find out what happened to her husband is unwavering – even if it means going up against one of Salem’s most lethal criminals.

With Orpheus involved, the stakes couldn’t be higher. This isn’t just another search mission – it’s a dangerous game of cat and mouse with a villain who has tortured the citizens of Salem for DECADES.

Will Marlena and Steve find the answers they’re seeking? Or is Orpheus leading them into a trap? One thing’s certain – with these three powerhouse characters facing off, the drama is going to be EPIC.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR SALEM?

As Thursday’s episode unfolds, Salem is on the brink of multiple explosions. Will Sarah get to Xander before Vivian spills the beans? Can Maggie’s maternal wisdom save her daughter’s marriage? And will the Kiriakis brothers’ feud blow the lid off the whole forgery scandal?

One thing’s for sure – by the end of the hour, relationships will be tested, loyalties will be questioned, and Salem will never be the same.

Stay tuned, DOOL fans. The real drama is just beginning!
