A wave of mysterious illnesses sweeps through Salem, leaving several residents clinging to life. Is this a bizarre coincidence, a new strain of flu, or something far more sinister? Early suspects range from disgruntled Body & Soul fans to corporate rivals, but the finger seems to be pointing squarely at Nurse Whitley King.
Johnny DiMera, Kayla Johnson, and Hattie Adams find themselves unexpectedly hospitalized, battling a sudden and baffling ailment. While doctors scramble for a diagnosis, Sarah Horton, never one to shy away from a medical mystery, suspects foul play. Her initial findings suggest poisoning, raising the stakes considerably. The list of potential perpetrators is long, but one name keeps surfacing: Whitley King.
Remember Whitley? The obsessive Body & Soul fan who…well, let’s just say her devotion crossed the line from fandom to felony. Could she be the one behind these poisonings? Abe Carver and Paulina Price seem to think so, and their visit to Bayview reveals some unsettling evidence. A board adorned with crossed-out photos and a suspiciously placed vial of poison certainly don’t paint a picture of innocence.
Meanwhile, the crisis at Body & Soul continues. Johnny’s condition takes a turn for the worse, sending Chanel into a panic. Alex Kiriakis and Joy Wesley also experience symptoms, though thankfully less severe. Sarah races against time to develop an antidote, hoping to save Salem’s afflicted citizens before it’s too late. But is she chasing a phantom, or is Whitley truly the culprit behind this medical mayhem?
