Days of our Lives spoilers for Friday, July 26, promise the biggest shock to ever hit Salem: Theresa tells the truth.

Lie, Lady, Lie

The truth confuses Theresa (Emily O’Brien). What do you mean there is only one version of events, and she has to stick to it rather than whipping up a version that benefits more? Do people really live that way? How dull.

Alas, Theresa’s lifestyle choices have just blown up in her face. Rather spectacularly. Alex (Robert Scott Wilson) may have married her, but, right now, he wants nothing to do with her.

And Brady (Eric Martsolf) may have slept with her, but he thought she preferred Alex. (Even as he suspected that preference was strongly connected to the fortune…Theresa procured for him.)

So when Theresa finally decides to come clean with them both, will either man believe her? Or care anymore?

Running Home To You

And while Theresa thinks about covering her tracks, Xander (Paul Telfer) deals with the news that he’s Victor’s (John Aniston) long-lost, illegitimate son.

And since he can’t discuss it with his own mother, who is a huge cause of this mess, he turns to Maggie (Suzanne Rogers), his once-and-future-mother-in-law…and now, his stepmother?

At the same time, Alex, who has been treating the man who loved and raised him his entire life like garbage ever since he was told Justin (Wally Kurth) isn’t his biological father, wants just to wipe that slate clean, and go back to how things were between them. We’re good, right, bro? Cuz? Daddy?

Let Me Be

Nicole (Arianne Zucker) finally has everything she ever wanted. There’s the love of her life, Eric (Greg Vaughan), there’s their miracle baby, Jude, and now they’re off to live happily ever after away from Salem. And, of course, her precious daughter, Holly (Ashley Puzemis), will be joining them. Right? Why not? What could she possibly have keeping her in town?
