1. The Suspicious Clues Begin to Surface

The week kicks off with Liam growing increasingly frustrated with the lack of answers about his past. Ever since arriving in Salem, he’s felt

a strange sense of familiarity — especially around the Kiriakis mansion and its surviving family members.

 

 

A mysterious letter found in Victor Kiriakis’ old files becomes the catalyst for everything that follows. Inside, Liam discovers a sealed envelope addressed to “My Son – L.R.” dated decades ago. The initials send him on a spiral, and he starts to question whether Victor had another child that no one knew about.

 

 

Meanwhile, Xander has been struggling to regain control of his life. He’s working hard to rebuild his reputation, co-parent with Sarah, and finally prove he’s not the man he once was. But when he crosses paths with Liam at the Brady Pub, an undeniable tension fills the air — one that neither man can explain.

2. A DNA Test Changes Everything

 

 

In true Days of Our Lives fashion, curiosity turns into confrontation when Liam confronts Maggie about the letter. Maggie, visibly shaken, admits she remembers Victor mentioning a “child from a past relationship in Scotland,” but she never knew the details.

Unable to let go, Liam secretly orders a DNA test using a strand of Xander’s hair (collected from a recent barbershop visit) and his own sample. When the results come back, the paper trembles in Liam’s hands — the results show a 99.9% sibling match.

The shocking truth: Liam and Xander share the same father — Victor Kiriakis.

3. The Confrontation That Shakes Salem

The moment of truth unfolds in an explosive confrontation at the Kiriakis mansion.

Liam storms in with the DNA results, demanding answers. Maggie, Justin, and Sarah are all present when he slams the paper onto the table, shouting, “I’m his brother! Victor was my father too!”

Xander, stunned and furious, laughs in disbelief at first. “You’re telling me Victor — my father — kept you a secret all this time? That’s insane!”

But as Maggie tearfully confirms parts of the story, Xander’s shock turns into heartbreak. The scene that follows is a masterclass in emotion: Liam’s anger and Xander’s confusion collide as they both struggle to process what Victor’s lies have cost them.

“Do you know what it’s like,” Xander shouts, “to spend your whole life trying to be enough for a man who never loved you — only to find out he was hiding another son?”

Liam’s response cuts deep: “At least you had a life with him. I didn’t even get a name.”

4. Maggie’s Guilt and Sarah’s Dilemma

As the brothers’ feud erupts, Maggie is overcome with guilt. She realizes Victor’s long-buried secret might have destroyed both men’s lives. She admits that after Victor’s death, she found references to “a child from a brief affair” but assumed it was a business metaphor, not a real person.

Meanwhile, Sarah is caught in the middle — torn between sympathy for Liam and loyalty to Xander. Their already fragile co-parenting relationship takes a sharp turn when Xander lashes out at her for keeping the letter hidden.

“You knew!” he accuses. “You knew there was something more to this and didn’t tell me!”

Sarah insists she wanted to protect him from false hope, but it’s too late — the damage is done.

5. Liam’s Darker Agenda Emerges

Just when it seems Liam might seek peace, his true intentions come to light. Beneath his hurt lies a deep resentment toward Victor and everything the Kiriakis name represents.

He vows to claim what’s “rightfully his,” hinting at a larger scheme involving Titan Industries. “Victor’s empire was built on lies — now it’s time for me to take back what I was denied,” Liam declares ominously.

Xander warns him: “If you’re coming after my family or Titan, you’ll have to go through me first.”

The battle lines are drawn — brother against brother, each carrying years of pain, pride, and betrayal.

6. A Twist in Victor’s Will

In a shocking final act, Maggie discovers an unread letter inside Victor’s safety deposit box. It’s addressed to both Xander and Liam. In it, Victor confesses his shame for keeping Liam a secret and begs the brothers to “find in each other what I failed to give you.”

But rather than heal wounds, the letter deepens them. Xander storms out, unable to forgive the man who raised him with conditional love. Liam, meanwhile, clutches the letter and whispers, “It’s too late.”

7. What Comes Next for the Kiriakis Legacy

This revelation reshapes the entire Kiriakis dynasty. With Xander and Liam now confirmed as brothers, fans can expect a dramatic struggle for control over Titan Industries — and a potential power war that could engulf everyone from Maggie to Alex.

Rumors suggest that Sarah may become the emotional bridge between the two, while Maggie will try to mend the fractured family. But given the rage simmering between the newfound brothers, reconciliation seems impossible — at least for now.

One thing’s certain: this shocking family twist has reignited Days of Our Lives with classic drama — sibling rivalry, betrayal, legacy, and the unbreakable curse of the Kiriakis bloodline.
