That man, as the DNA test reveals, is none other than Liam, the mysterious figure Abe recently mentioned in passing. His connection to Sophia had been a mystery, but now everything makes sense. Liam, who returned to Salem under the radar, is confirmed to be Tesoro’s biological father. The revelation shocks not only Aaron but the entire Salem community.

When the truth comes out, Aaron is devastated. The man who has loved Tesoro as his son is crushed by the betrayal, both from Sophia and from fate itself. His heartbreak turns to anger when he confronts Sophia, demanding to know why she kept this secret for so long. “You let me believe he was mine,” Aaron shouts in an upcoming emotional scene. “You watched me love him like my own son—and you said nothing!”

Sophia, in tears, tries to explain that she only wanted to protect her son and her family. “I was scared,” she says. “Liam didn’t even know. I didn’t want to lose everything.” But Aaron can’t bring himself to forgive her so easily. The damage, it seems, may already be done.
