The summer fun takes a dark turn when Tate Black, Holly Jonas, and Arianna Horton plan a lakeside getaway. What starts as a carefree trip quickly spirals into chaos as Holly and Ari are kidnapped by thugs connected to Doug Williams III’s dangerous debts.
Held at gunpoint and fearing for their lives, the girls’ only hope lies in Tate who quickly connects the dots between Holly’s abduction and Doug’s shady dealings. A confrontation leads to a physical altercation between Tate and Doug, but the two ultimately team up to save the girls.
Meanwhile, Gabi Hernandez is thrown into panic when her daughter goes missing setting the stage for emotional scenes ahead.
Elsewhere in Salem, Sophia Choi writes a heartbreaking love letter to her baby boy. With the help of Melinda Trask, the letter is quietly left at a fire station. Leo Stark and Javi Hernandez later discover the note and read it aloud to baby Tesero, in one of the week’s most tender moments
Gwen Makes a Power Move, and the Custody Battle Explodes
Gwen Rizczech isn’t one to stay on the sidelines. She makes a bold move to move into the DiMera mansion with EJ and Kristen, claiming it would be “mutually beneficial.” Gwen and Kristen take time to reconnect, and sparks may fly for better or worse.
Meanwhile, Xander Kiriakis is struggling. Now separated from Sarah Horton and raising baby Victoria on his own, he finds himself unable to calm the distressed child. The emotional weight intensifies as Sarah fights tooth and nail to be reunited with her daughter. The custody battle gets personal and ugly.

Week of July 21–25: Rescue Missions, Scheming Secrets & Seductive Distractions
Salem rallies as Rafe Hernandez, Tate, and even Doug band together to rescue Holly and Ari. Their mission ends in triumph as the girls return home safely but the aftermath is far from over.
Sophia, still hiding the truth from Tate, begins to second-guess herself. But Melinda urges her to stay the course. Sophia eventually tells Tate that their baby was a girl, and that the adoptive parents wanted her immediately. With Tate distracted by Holly’s safe return, Sophia’s story might just stick for now.
Gabi Goes Undercover, and Passion Heats Up
In a twist that could change everything, Tony DiMera recruits Gabi Hernandez for a mission of his own: take back the DiMera empire from the Kiriakis brothers. Gabi’s reward? Control of her beloved fashion brand, Gabi Chic.
But there’s a catch. To succeed, she must play dirty—and Tony wants her to use her charm to distract both Xander and Philip Kiriakis. And distract she does.
