DOOL BOMBSHELL: THOMAS DIMERA HIT BY CAR AFTER CHAD’S BETRAYAL — JENNIFER THREATENS CUSTODY WAR!
TL;DR: Thomas DiMera runs into traffic and gets hit by a car after discovering Chad is dating Cat Greene, the woman who impersonated his dead mother Abigail, leading Jennifer Horton to threaten taking him to Boston permanently.
Hold onto your remote controls, DOOL fans — the most heartbreaking storyline of November sweeps just took a devastating turn that NO ONE saw coming!
What Happens to Thomas DiMera After He Runs Away?
Thomas DiMera gets hit by a car after running into the street following a traumatic confrontation with his father. The poor kid couldn’t handle seeing Chad DiMera comforting Cat Greene — you know, the same woman who had the AUDACITY to impersonate his murdered mother, Abigail Deveraux! Can you even imagine the psychological damage?
This wasn’t just some random accident. Thomas had already issued an ultimatum to his dad: it’s me or Cat. And even though Chad supposedly ended things with Cat on October 22nd, the damage was done. When Thomas and Jennifer Horton caught Chad offering “emotional support” to Cat (seriously, Chad?), they immediately assumed the worst. The kid bolted straight into traffic!
The timing couldn’t be worse — this all unfolds during DOOL’s 60th anniversary week. Talk about drama!
Does Jennifer Horton Really Blame Chad for the Accident?
Yes, Jennifer absolutely blames Chad for Thomas’s accident and she’s not holding back! Our sources confirm she’s threatening to take Thomas AND his sister Charlotte DiMera to Boston to live with her and Jack Deveraux.
This isn’t just a grandmother being protective — this is a Horton matriarch declaring WAR on the DiMeras! Jennifer has watched Chad make one toxic choice after another since Abigail’s murder, but dating her daughter’s impersonator? That was the final straw. Now with Thomas hospitalized because he ran from his own father in horror, she’s got all the ammunition she needs.
The hospital waiting room showdown between Chad and Jennifer is going to be EXPLOSIVE. Chad has zero defense here. His son is fighting for his life because of his relationship choices. The guilt must be crushing him!
Will This Reignite the Horton-DiMera Feud?
The Horton-DiMera feud isn’t just reigniting — it’s going NUCLEAR! This isn’t some petty family squabble; this is a battle for the soul of the next generation.
Remember, Thomas is half-Horton (through Jennifer) and half-DiMera (through Chad). He’s literally the living embodiment of this decades-old conflict. Jennifer taking him to Boston isn’t just geographical — it’s symbolic. She’s trying to extract the DiMera influence from her grandson before it destroys him like it destroyed her daughter.
Think about it: Jennifer never approved of Abigail marrying a DiMera in the first place. She warned her daughter about that family’s chaos and danger. Now Abigail is dead (murdered in DiMera-adjacent drama), and Chad’s toxic choices have landed Thomas in the hospital. In Jennifer’s eyes, she’s been proven RIGHT about everything!
What’s Next for Chad and the DiMera Children?
Could this mean Chad loses custody of both kids? Don’t be surprised if Jennifer wins this battle. The evidence is overwhelming — Chad started dating a con artist who traumatized his son by impersonating his dead mother. That trauma directly led to a life-threatening accident. Any family court judge would side with the stable, legacy-family grandmother.
Given Chad’s history of self-destruction since Abigail’s death, this could be rock bottom. Without his children, he’d have nothing left connecting him to his murdered wife. This likely leads to Chad following them to Boston to fight for his parental rights, setting up his exit from Salem. (We know Billy Flynn is leaving for Y&R, after all!)
Don’t be surprised if Thomas returns in a few years as a rapidly-aged teen, carrying all this trauma and ready to shake up Salem’s next generation. This accident isn’t just changing his present — it’s setting up his entire future as a conflicted legacy character torn between his Horton values and DiMera blood.
As for Cat Greene? Girl needs to RUN. She’s ground zero for this family explosion, and neither the Hortons nor the DiMeras are going to forgive her role in traumatizing that child.
