OMG Shocking!!! Full Episode 4/18/25 Days of Our Lives:Orpheus Hides the Truth — Marlena Reaches Her Breaking Point!
In the April 18, 2025 episode of Days of Our Lives, longtime fans were treated to a gripping blend of betrayal, guilt, power plays, and emotional unraveling.
With Orpheus stonewalling once again, Marlena on the edge of collapse, and a major lie involving Victor’s will on the verge of exposure, this was a day in Salem not to be missed.
Vivian Blows the Lid Off Victor’s Will Forgery
Vivian Alamain has never been one to quietly fade into the background, and today, she proved that yet again. In a bombshell move, Vivian stormed into Xander Kiriakis’ new office at Titan and delivered the truth he never saw coming: the letter that gave Philip a controlling interest in Titan wasn’t written by Victor—it was a forgery.
The fallout from this revelation is set to shake Titan Industries to its core. Xander, already walking a tightrope of trust with his co-CEO Philip, is blindsided. This wasn’t just corporate betrayal—it was a personal one. The company Victor intended to leave to Xander was effectively stolen from him under the guise of brotherly cooperation. Now, all bets are off.
Sarah’s Secret Confession
Meanwhile, back at the Kiriakis mansion, Sarah Horton finds herself consumed by guilt. Sleepless and visibly shaken, she finally breaks down and confesses everything to her mother, Maggie Horton. In a raw and emotional moment, Sarah admits that she helped forge the letter naming Philip as co-CEO. Her motivation? To avoid conflict between Xander and Philip after Victor’s passing.
Maggie, though shocked and disappointed, listens patiently. She reminds Sarah that lies always catch up, and urges her to come clean to Xander before someone else does it for her. Unfortunately, that someone might already be on the move—Vivian.
Sibling Rivalry Explodes: Philip vs. Alex
As the truth about Victor’s will begins to circulate, tensions flare between Philip and Alex Kiriakis. Alex, feeling increasingly uncomfortable with the deception, confronts Philip head-on. Their confrontation grows heated, and while it doesn’t get physical, the emotional stakes couldn’t be higher. Alex’s frustration lies not only in the deceit itself but in the way it jeopardizes the family and the legacy of Titan.
Kayla Johnson later counsels her daughter Stephanie, who seeks guidance on how to navigate the murky emotional terrain between Alex and Philip. Stephanie may not spill all the details, but she’s clearly burdened by the turmoil in her relationship, and Kayla’s wisdom might be the anchor she needs.
Orpheus Keeps His Cards Close — Marlena Hits a Wall
Away from the corporate chaos, another storm brews in Europe. Marlena Evans and Steve Johnson press the enigmatic Orpheus for information about John Black’s whereabouts. But Orpheus, ever the master manipulator, keeps his mouth shut. Despite their best efforts, the trail has gone cold.
Steve, reading the signs, suggests they’ve hit a dead end in Estonia. But Marlena isn’t ready to accept defeat. Her desperation is palpable—John is out there, and she refuses to leave until she knows what happened to him. As her frustration mounts, Marlena begins to crack under the emotional weight, leading to a chilling confrontation with Orpheus that ends with more questions than answers.
Vivian’s Dangerous Game
Vivian is playing a high-stakes game, and Xander might end up in the crosshairs. It’s revealed that she’s been blackmailing Philip with the knowledge of the forged letter—an act she herself orchestrated. But her threats don’t stop there. Rumors swirl that Vivian has plans far darker than mere exposure. She’s hinted at wanting Xander dead and has the means and connections to make it happen.
As Philip tries to figure out his next move, he fears for his life. He knows that if Xander finds out the truth, his reaction could be violent. Despite their recent efforts to rebuild a brotherly bond, everything between them has been based on a lie. Victor had never intended to share Titan with Philip—he left everything to Xander as a final act of redemption for years of neglect.
Now, Philip is forced to choose between maintaining the facade or telling Xander the truth to protect him from Vivian’s wrath. But is it too late?
Will Sarah Be the One to End the Lie?
Sarah now stands at a moral crossroads. Her confession to Maggie was just the beginning. The burden of truth is growing heavier, especially with Vivian on the warpath. Maggie pleads with her to come forward before more damage is done, but Sarah is paralyzed by the fear of what Xander might do—not just to Philip, but to their marriage.
With so many pieces in play, Salem teeters on the edge of implosion. Will Sarah find the courage to tell Xander everything? Will Philip preemptively confess to protect himself and his brother? Or will Vivian’s threats escalate into full-blown violence?
The Road Ahead
As the episode ends, we’re left with a sense of mounting dread. Marlena’s breakdown signals that time is running out in the search for John. Vivian has proven she’s more dangerous than ever. And Xander—once kept in the dark—is on the brink of discovering that the people closest to him have lied.
What happens when the truth finally comes to light?
