She’s starting to become suspicious about her husband’s decision to defend the man who put her grandson and the man he loves in a jail cell for attempted murder. Now, Marlena may find out the reason why John seems to be on Leo’s side on the Thursday, Feb. 28 episode of “Days of Our Lives.”

Marlena (Deidre Hall) was stunned when John (Drake Hogestyn) defended Leo (Greg Rikaart) during a fight with Will (Chandler Massey) in the town square on the NBC soap, unaware that he’s keeping a secret from her about Leo possibly being his secret son with Diana (Judith Chapman). Now, she will likely learn that information—but it won’t be coming from John when she does.

Victor would seem like a surprising person to reveal the truth to Marlena, but he appears to be working with Diana now, who revealed to him that she wants John back. She swore to him that if he helped her break John and Marlena up, then she would get Leo out of everyone’s lives—and the Kiriakis mansion—for good. Now, if she has told Victor what she shared with John, he may feel obliged to let Marlena know the truth.

Of course, learning that John is Leo’s secret father will be a major thing for Marlena to hear, considering it wouldn’t be the first time a newcomer in town was revealed to be a son John had from another past relationship—or even the first time that this supposed son came between Will and Sonny (Freddie Smith). Though everything eventually corrected itself when it came to Paul (Christopher Sean), Leo has proven to be a harder obstacle—and a major pest.

Naturally, now that she and John are finally married, Marlena will also be furious that he hasn’t confided in her—meaning the golden couple's marriage could quickly turn south as a result.

“Days of Our Lives” airs weekdays on NBC.
