Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Is Gabi’s Own Daughter Ari Behind the Knockoff Bag Revenge Scheme?
Bitter mother-daughter feuds, fiery accusations, and calculated business sabotage are reaching a boiling point in Salem. When family trust turns to ice, the payback can hit where it hurts most—the bottom line. On Days of Our Lives, Gabi Hernandez might be so focused on pointing fingers at her corporate rivals that she’s completely blind to a far more personal betrayal brewing right under her nose.
At the very heart of the chaos is a mother who crossed a serious line, an enraged daughter out for revenge, and a counterfeit handbag scheme that threatens to destroy a fashion empire from the inside out.
Gabi Accuses the Kiriakis Brothers While Ari Vows Payback
Gabi Hernandez recently spewed a tirade of furious accusations at Philip Kiriakis and Xander Kiriakis, blaming them entirely for the counterfeit bag drama currently eating away at her business profits. However, Gabi may be focusing on the wrong vengeful enemy.
The real source of her corporate nightmare could actually be her own daughter, Arianna “Ari” Hernandez. Ari was left absolutely furious after discovering that Gabi bribed Liam Selejko to leave town and stay away from her. Gabi stepped way out of bounds by interfering, especially considering Ari is an adult who deserves to make her own romantic choices without maternal interference. Spoilers indicate that Ari wants Gabi to pay for what she did, raising serious questions about how far the young woman is willing to go to exact her revenge.
Philip and Xander Drop Hints as Ari’s Access Comes Into Focus
When confronted by Gabi, Philip and Xander adamantly denied having anything to do with the knockoff purse chaos destroying her profits. Instead, the Kiriakis brothers logically suggested that Gabi should look closer to home—specifically at her employees or other people close to her who possessed direct access to her proprietary designs.
Ari surely falls right under that category. DOOL fans know Ari previously shared a good, close relationship with Gabi, making it easy to imagine Gabi bouncing creative ideas off her daughter and freely sharing fashion concepts with a once-enthusiastic Ari.
Even if Ari didn’t already have the blueprints handed to her, gaining access would have been simple. Ari likely possesses any necessary passwords and could easily have scored the digital information required to put a manufacturing scheme into motion.
Clues Point to Ari as the Sabotage Mastermind
It may be no coincidence that Ari’s name specifically surfaced during Gabi’s heated confrontation with Philip and Xander in the July 21 episode. After Gabi rescinded her offer to share her inheritance and help save Titan as well as the Kiriakis estate, Xander brought up Ari’s personal Kiriakis connection and pointed out how Gabi’s decision would affect her daughter.
Days of Our Lives writers may very well be dropping subtle hints that Ari is the person responsible for the fake purses, serving up a harsh dose of revenge over the Liam incident. While Ari might have additional help pulling off the logistics, she could easily be the true mastermind behind the entire operation.
If this vengeful plot does indeed belong to Ari, Gabi could be facing some truly stunning news ahead. Will Gabi realize her own daughter is sabotaging her brand before her fashion company suffers permanent damage?
