In the latest Days of Our Lives episode (April 15, 2025), secrets unravel, alliances shift, and revenge is set into motion. Kristen DiMera, cold and calculating, has been biding her time, and now, with her legal troubles seemingly behind her, she’s poised to strike back at those who’ve wronged her—most notably, Xander Kiriakis. After Xander and Philip staged a corporate takeover of DiMera Enterprises in Kristen’s absence, she’s livid and ready for vengeance. But Xander, undeterred, shows her the door, taking control in a way Kristen never anticipated. But be warned—Kristen’s thirst for revenge is far from quenched. Xander might think he’s safe, but with Kristen, nothing is ever as it seems.

Meanwhile, Salem is buzzing with secrets and accusations. Roman Brady, troubled by the discovery of a gun linked to EJ DiMera’s shooting, questions Kate Roberts about the weapon. Despite Kate’s protests of innocence, Roman can’t shake the feeling that she’s hiding something. Just when things couldn’t get more tense, Sami Brady barges in, furious at Kate for revealing the dark truth about Johnny’s origins. Sami insists she should have been the one to tell Johnny, but deep down, she’s relieved the secret is finally out. Yet, her anger is undeniable as she confronts Kate about the betrayal.

On the police front, Kristen gets a temporary victory when the bullet taken from EJ’s body doesn’t match her gun, clearing her of suspicion—at least for now. But this is just the beginning of her plans, and she’s far from finished with Salem. As Kristen smirks in triumph, her enemies have no idea the storm she’s about to unleash. Watch closely—Xander’s reign might be shorter than he thinks.
