In a town where loyalties shift like shadows and secrets are currency, Salem has once again become the center of a dangerous game of deception, power, and survival.

This time, the stakes could not be higher. Dr. Mark Green, once a promising physician whose life collapsed under the weight of scandal, has now stepped into one of the most perilous roles of his life.

The ISA has extended him an offer so extraordinary, so life-altering, that he has agreed to do the unthinkable—betray EJ DiMera from the inside.

This isn’t just another undercover operation. This is a mission that could reshape Salem’s balance of power and potentially bring down one of its most ruthless titans.

THE DEAL OF A LIFETIME – OR A DEATH SENTENCE

The question on every viewer’s mind is the same: What could possibly convince Mark to take such a dangerous risk?

According to insider sources close to the ISA operation, the agency has promised Mark a deal that targets every painful cornerstone of his shattered life:

• Full restoration of his medical license
• Complete immunity from all past charges (including his involvement in the attempt on Chad DiMera’s life)
• Witness protection for himself and his family
• Financial compensation rumored to be deep into the six figures
• And perhaps most shocking of all…
• A promise to eliminate Clyde Weston’s lingering threat once and for all.

For a man who lost everything—his reputation, his purpose, and his future—this offer wasn’t just tempting. It was salvation.

But salvation in Salem always comes at a price.

FROM PRISON CELL TO SECRET AGENT

Only months ago, Mark Green was locked away in Statesville, his career destroyed, his name disgraced. His fall from grace was spectacular and public. Even those like Jennifer Horton and Jack Deveraux, who believed in rehabilitation, could not undo the damage done.

However, his release was no random twist of fate. Instead, it was the first move in a carefully calculated strategy orchestrated by ISA legend Shane Donovan. Shane recognized something in Mark that no one else saw:

• A mind brilliant enough to understand complex scientific research
• A personal motivation strong enough to fuel risk
• And a reason to return to EJ’s orbit without raising suspicion

Where others saw a broken man, the ISA saw the perfect weapon.

CAT GREEN: SISTER, AGENT, HANDLER

At the center of this mission stands someone who knows both Salem’s undercurrents and Mark’s heart—his sister, Cat Green. For months, Cat has been quietly operating as an ISA asset, attempting to uncover the truth behind EJ DiMera’s latest secret endeavor.

She had already suspected that EJ’s newly acquired wing of University Hospital was more than just community outreach. Her surveillance hinted at:

• Restricted wings
• Encrypted entry systems
• Unexplained shipments
• And a guarded laboratory no one was meant to see

But where Cat reached her limits externally, Mark now has the ability to enter from within.

Their partnership is risky—emotionally and physically. Cat knows better than anyone:

If EJ finds out they are working against him… Mark won’t survive it.

THE SECRET LABORATORY – WHAT IS EJ HIDING?

What appears publicly as a charitable free clinic is in truth the cover for a high-security research facility—one that bears all the hallmarks of:

• illegal biomedical experimentation
• unauthorized pharmaceutical development
• or something far darker, rooted in DiMera legacy history:
  the manipulation of life and death itself.

The ISA believes this operation may be connected to international criminal syndicates—or foreign power influence. Salem may look small, but its shadows stretch globally.

Mark has now stepped into that laboratory. Every conversation. Every coded message. Every vial and data file he handles could be the key to unraveling EJ’s plan.

Or the clue that gives him away.

WHEN THE TRUTH COMES OUT…

Because in Salem, truth never stays buried.

EJ DiMera is many things—strategic, commanding, charismatic. But above all, he is merciless to those who betray him. The moment he learns Mark is an ISA plant:

• The legal system won’t protect Mark.
• Witness protection may not be fast enough.
• The ISA may be too late.

This mission is nothing short of a sprint toward survival.

THE WAR HAS JUST BEGUN

The ISA believes this operation could expose one of the most dangerous conspiracies Salem has faced in years. If Mark succeeds, he could become a hero—not just for the ISA, but for Salem itself.

If he fails…

He could become another name etched into the long list of DiMera casualties.

SO, DAYS FANS… WHAT COMES NEXT?

Will Mark secure his freedom and rebuild his life?

Or will EJ uncover the truth and unleash a wrath Salem is not ready to face?

And perhaps the most spine-tingling question of all—

What exactly is being developed in that secret laboratory?

The answers are coming.

But not without blood.
