The police now know that Vivian was the one who tried to kill Kate, and they’ve been in pursuit of her ever since without much luck as they try and find her. However, when they finally close in on her, a different tragedy could strike and change things in Salem forever as a result on the Thursday, Oct 3 episode of “Days of Our Lives.”

Since Kate (Lauren Koslow) woke up from her coma and remembered what happened, the police have been in pursuit of Vivian (Robin Strasser), but thanks to Stefan (Brandon Barash) trying to protect his mother and Gabi (Camilla Banus) helping her husband distract the police long enough for Vivian to escape, they haven’t had luck yet on the NBC soap. Unfortunately for Vivian, she hasn’t been having much luck either with finding someone to hide her, since Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) refused. Now, she may be out of hiding spots and easier for the police to find—but that will also end badly.

“Tragedy strikes as Vivian tries to flee town,” spoilers reveal.

A video preview for the week’s episodes (see above) shows Lani (Sal Stowers) approaching Vivian in the park and ordering her to freeze—but as she fires her gun, Stefan appears out of nowhere to jump in front of his mother. Unfortunately, he could take a bullet, and the tragedy could be that his desperate attempts to keep his mother safe will cost him his life.

As it turns out, everyone being there at the same time for the events to unfold in such a way may be a coincidence. While Vivian has been scurrying around Salem trying to hide, her son and daughter-in-law are focusing on their marriage and were likely out enjoying some time together away from the hectic pace their lives have been keeping.

“Stefan and Gabi have a romantic night,” spoilers state.

Meanwhile, Lani’s arrival on the scene could be in relation to a different crime entirely, as she might be investigating what happened when Ciara (Victoria Konefal) was nearly killed, as she and Ben (Robert Scott Wilson) will enlist her help when they decide to look into what could have happened to her.

“Ciara and Ben tell Lani they think Jordan (Chrishell Stause Hartley) tried to kill Ciara,” spoilers reveal.

However, with everyone there, the tragedy seems impossible to avoid, and when it strikes, it will genuinely change life in Salem for everyone.

“Days of Our Lives” airs weekdays on NBC.
