Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Ari’s World Shatters Over Hidden DiMera Internship Sabotage
Dark secrets and well-meaning betrayals are coming to a boil across the globe. On the Thursday, September 10, 2026 episode of Days of Our Lives, Dr. Marlena Evans begins to untangle EJ DiMera’s web of lies, raising the emotional stakes for everyone caught in his orbit. Meanwhile, a major debut in Monte Carlo promises to shake up international storylines, and back in Salem, hidden interference threatens to destroy family trust.
Sydney Malekah Debuts as Gabi and Philip Spot a Familiar Face
An exciting new chapter unfolds as actress Sydney Malekah makes her official debut on the Peacock soap opera. She is expected to step into the role of Sydney DiMera, EJ DiMera’s daughter.
Previously, viewers watched EJ arrive in Italy alongside Belle Black and Chad DiMera, only to be hit with the disappointment that Sydney was away traveling. However, international paths are about to cross in a big way.
Over in Monte Carlo, Gabi Hernandez and Philip Kiriakis bump into a familiar face. There seems to be a strong chance that this unexpected individual is Sydney. Going a step further, fans are wondering if Sydney might end up crossing her father by aiding Gabi and Philip in securing a win while abroad.
Tate and Holly’s Getaway Hits a Snag While Marlena Targets EJ
Back home, Tate Black takes steps to reassure Holly Jonas and make her feel more secure in their relationship by planning a romantic trip. However, their well-intentioned escape hits a major roadblock, leaving their getaway plans in serious jeopardy.
At the same time, Marlena Evans grows increasingly suspicious of EJ. It appears that EJ’s long list of sinful secrets is on the verge of coming out into the open. With EJ currently in Italy alongside Belle and Chad, Marlena is left in a difficult spot regarding her next move.
Marlena is fully aware that EJ would never intentionally bring harm to Belle. However, she also recognizes that he never meant to hurt Holly either, proving that collateral damage always follows his schemes. Because of her rising fears for Belle’s safety, Marlena could very well be the next Salem resident to pack her bags and jet off to Italy to intervene.
Ari Horton Crushed by Sabotage as Leo Confronts Javi
Over in Salem’s career circuit, Ari Horton receives troubling news about her professional future. It seems almost certain that her coveted internship at DiMera Enterprises gets abruptly canceled. Crucially, this setback has nothing to do with Ari’s actual work performance. Instead, the cancellation is the direct result of behind-the-scenes scheming by Gabi Hernandez and Kate Roberts Brady.
While Gabi and Kate believe they are acting out of protective instincts, Ari is bound to react with pure fury when the full truth inevitably surface. Ari deeply despises feeling controlled or sabotaged, meaning she will not view their interference as an act of love. Once she realizes her mother worked with Kate to derail her opportunity, the emotional fallout will be severe.
Finally, interpersonal drama flares up as journalist Leo Stark confronts his former flame, Javi Hernandez. Although the exes have not officially gotten back together, their fiery encounter proves that the spark between them is far from extinguished. Viewers holding out hope for a romantic second chance will have to see if Leo and Javi can work through their past issues and build a lasting future together.
With Marlena closing in on EJ’s cover-up and Ari’s world about to crumble over Gabi’s manipulation, secrets are failing to stay hidden. Will Marlena take flight to Italy before EJ’s actions endanger Belle, or will the truth explode before she can get there?
