DOOL Shockwave! Xander Spirals After Losing Sarah — His Jealousy Erupts When He Sees Her With Brady!
It’s your Days of Our Lives drama digest team back with another explosive twist from the heart of Salem — and this one cuts deep. The saga of Xander Kiriakis and Sarah Horton has always been one of passion, heartbreak, and second chances, but now, those fragile hopes are shattering once again. This week, fans are bracing themselves for one of the most emotionally devastating turns yet — as Xander faces the unbearable truth that he may have lost Sarah forever.
And what’s worse? The man standing by Sarah’s side is none other than Brady Black — her ex-husband and the one person who knows her heart almost as well as Xander himself.
💔 A Love Torn Apart
Let’s rewind the reel. For months, Xander has been fighting to prove that he’s not the same man who once lied, schemed, and destroyed everything he touched. He’s been attending therapy, walking away from violence, and desperately trying to rebuild his life. He’s done it all for one reason — Sarah.
But forgiveness doesn’t come easy in Salem. When Sarah discovered Xander’s latest deception — a betrayal that cut straight to the bone — it was the final straw. Their marriage collapsed under the weight of broken promises and shattered trust.
Papers were signed. Doors slammed. And the once-happy Kiriakis mansion, once filled with baby giggles and soft laughter, now stands as a hollow echo of what they had.
Sarah took their daughter, little Victoria, and walked away without looking back. For her, survival meant distance. For Xander, it meant losing the only family he’s ever truly loved.
💥 The Man Trying to Change
And yet, Xander refuses to give up. Behind closed doors, he’s fighting his demons. The same man who once ruled Salem’s underworld is now attending anger management, writing letters he never sends, and leaving quiet apologies that Sarah never answers.
“I’m trying, Sarah,” he whispers to an empty room, clutching one of Victoria’s toys like a lifeline. “I’m trying.”
It’s the rawest, most human we’ve ever seen him — but in Salem, redemption is never straightforward. Just when Xander starts to believe he might earn another chance, fate — and jealousy — strike with cruel precision.
⚡ Enter Brady Black — The Past Returns
Sarah’s been leaning on an old friend lately: Brady Black, her former husband and the father of her first child. Their history is complicated — tender in places, broken in others — but Brady’s been there for her in a way Xander never could.
He understands loss, addiction, heartbreak. He doesn’t push. He listens. And somewhere between late-night talks and shared parenting woes, a spark reignites.
It’s a quiet Tuesday night in Salem — the kind that always ends in tears. Sarah, exhausted after a grueling hospital shift, stops by the Brady Pub for a simple dinner. She’s tired, messy, and emotionally raw. Brady’s there too, nursing a club soda — a symbol of his ongoing recovery and restraint. Their eyes meet. The air shifts.
What begins as friendly conversation turns into laughter — real laughter, something Sarah hasn’t felt in months. And just outside the pub window, Xander sees everything.
🔥 The Green-Eyed Monster Returns
Clutching a bouquet of Sarah’s favorite peonies, Xander had come to apologize, to tell her he was changing. But through the glass, he sees Brady brushing a raindrop from Sarah’s cheek, and something inside him snaps.
The petals slip from his hand and scatter into the rain like tiny, bleeding hearts. For a fleeting second, the old Xander surfaces — the ruthless, vengeful man who once would have burned Salem to the ground for less.
But this time, he doesn’t lash out. He just walks away — trembling, broken, and dangerously close to the edge.
Still, jealousy is a poison that spreads fast. Xander starts imagining the worst. Every unanswered call feels like betrayal. Every rumor, every whispered conversation, fuels his paranoia. Salem’s gossip mill doesn’t help — not when people are whispering that Sarah and Brady are getting close again.
💣 The Night Everything Changes
Days later, Sarah hits another breaking point. A devastating day at the hospital. A fight with Kristen over custody. A baby who won’t stop crying. She’s unraveling — and Brady shows up at her door with takeout and a gentle smile.
“You don’t have to do this alone,” he says softly.
And for the first time in months, Sarah lets someone in. They talk. They laugh. The night stretches long, filled with old memories and fragile warmth.
Outside, Xander watches from across the street, soaked to the bone, his mind spinning. He sees Brady’s car in the driveway. He sees the lights go out. His imagination does the rest.
In reality, Sarah and Brady simply fall asleep on the couch — fully clothed, their daughter’s baby monitor buzzing softly between them. But for Xander, the sight is unbearable.
He pounds his fist into a wall, blood mixing with rain. “I’m trying!” he shouts into the night. “Why isn’t it enough?”
🩸 The Breaking Point
Salem’s annual Horton barbecue becomes the stage for Xander’s undoing. Sarah arrives with Brady — “just as friends,” she insists — but their closeness tells a different story.
Maggie invited Xander out of pity, hoping family togetherness might ease the tension. But when he sees Sarah laughing at something Brady whispers, his fragile calm shatters.
He corners Brady near the punch bowl, his voice low and dangerous. “You think you can just take my family from me?”
Brady stays calm, his tone steady. “Sarah’s allowed to move on, Xander. You need to let her go.”
“She’s my wife,” Xander hisses.
Brady’s reply is soft but devastating: “Ex-wife. You’re the one who lost her.”
Those words hit harder than any punch. For a moment, all the fight drains out of Xander. Then Sarah appears, having heard enough to break her own heart all over again.
“You promised you were changing,” she says, her voice shaking. “But you’re still the same jealous, possessive man who ruins everything.”
“I’m trying, Sarah,” Xander pleads, his voice cracking. “God help me, I’m trying.”
“Then try harder,” she whispers. “Or let me go.”
And with that, she walks away — into Brady’s waiting arms.
💔 The Fallout
As the barbecue continues — laughter, music, fireflies — Xander stands alone, shattered. The man who once ruled Salem through manipulation now looks utterly defeated.
But Days of Our Lives fans know this story isn’t over. Salem doesn’t let hearts heal easily. And for Xander Kiriakis, heartbreak has always been the spark for darker impulses.
Will his pain push him back toward the criminal underworld he once ruled? Will he dig up Brady’s secrets and strike back? Or will he finally face his demons and fight for redemption one last time?
One thing’s for certain — love, jealousy, and obsession are colliding in Salem like never before. And when the smoke clears, no heart will be left unscathed.
🔥 What will Xander do next — fight for love, or destroy himself trying? 💔
