Will’s funeral brings Salem together as family and friends deliver emotional eulogies, while a guilty Ben avoids speaking. At the pub afterward, Andre shocks everyone by announcing he’s been pardoned and is Stefano’s son, prompting Sami to decide she must leave for Switzerland to take down the DiMeras. Meanwhile, Steve follows a new lead from Caroline’s visions, shares a charged goodbye kiss with Kayla, and heads out again. Kayla breaks the news of Will’s death to Caroline, and she and Hope worry the visions of Bo are only drug‑induced hallucinations.

Aiden refuses to steal evidence for the DiMeras, so Stefano and Andre push him toward murdering Hope after their wedding to erase his debt and frame the timeline to clear Chad. Shaken, Aiden researches the killings, hides it from Hope, and even adds himself to her life‑insurance policy while asking Rafe to be his best man. Rafe still doubts Chad’s guilt but tries to move on by spending time with Lani, who starts to develop feelings for him. Meanwhile, Abigail questions Ben’s odd behaviour, and at the station Clyde forces Ben to admit he’s the Necktie Killer—vowing to protect him—while Rafe and Lani witness Ben’s fear and grow suspicious.

At the party, Stefano and Andre subtly pressure Aiden to carry out their deadly plan, and he steels himself as Hope lovingly tries to calm his “jitters.” John returns to Marlena, JJ tells Jennifer he’s applied to the police academy, and Eric quietly drinks as he works the event. Meanwhile, Abigail discovers disturbing, time‑stamped photos on Ben’s phone that link him to the murders; when she tries to leave for the Gala, he stops her—and she’s frightened for the first time

Aiden, torn between love and the DiMeras’ orders, goes through with the marriage. Andre warns Chad another killing is coming, but denies any DiMera plot. Meanwhile, Abigail confronts Ben about being the killer; he leaves to cover his tracks by texting Jennifer from her phone, and just as Abigail frees herself from her restraints, Ben returns.
