In one of the most jaw-dropping twists Days of Our Lives has delivered in months, Aaron’s world is turned upside down when he learns

that Tesoro, the baby everyone believed was Tate’s, is actually his. This revelation doesn’t just shake Aaron to the core — it threatens to tear apart every fragile relationship in Salem.

 

 

The truth comes out in a storm of secrets, lies, and emotional confrontations that will leave fans reeling. Let’s break down what happens in this shocking week of DOOL and what this revelation means for the future of Salem’s most complicated families.

1. The Secret DNA Test That Changes Everything

 

 

The drama begins when Holly — still suspicious of the inconsistencies surrounding Tesoro’s paternity — convinces Nicole to help her get answers. Holly, determined to uncover the truth, secretly takes a strand of the baby’s hair and sends it for a DNA test.

At first, Nicole scolds her daughter for crossing a line. But when the results come back, even Nicole can’t believe what she’s seeing. The report clearly lists Aaron as the biological father — not Tate, as everyone had believed.

“This can’t be right,” Nicole whispers, clutching the papers with trembling hands. “Aaron? Not Tate?”

The tension builds as Nicole debates whether to tell Aaron immediately or confront the person who’s been hiding the truth.

2. Sophia’s Lie Comes Crashing Down

Meanwhile, Sophia, who’s been keeping this secret buried for months, starts to sense that her web of lies is unraveling. She’s been walking a tightrope — torn between protecting her image and shielding herself from the wrath of both Aaron and Tate.

But as whispers about a “DNA scandal” spread through Salem, Sophia knows the truth won’t stay hidden much longer. She attempts to leave town quietly, packing her bags and making a call to an unknown number, saying, “It’s over. They know.”

Unfortunately for her, fate — and Days of Our Lives drama — has other plans. Just as she’s about to slip away, Aaron confronts her at the Salem Inn.

3. The Confrontation That Breaks Aaron

The confrontation between Aaron and Sophia is one of the most intense scenes in recent DOOL memory. Aaron arrives with the DNA results in hand, fury and heartbreak written across his face.
