Days of Our Lives: Orpheus has set his trap, but the master manipulator forgot Marlena's killer instinct

In the recent episodes of Days of Our Lives, Marlena ventured out on a mission to find John. She was shocked to see Orpheus at the scene and asked him why he was not in prison. Orpheus jokingly told her that no prison could hold him for long.

When Orpheus realized Marlena knew about his plans and motives, he decided to get rid of her. As she confronted him, Marlena realized that John was sent on a mission to find Orpheus. Orpheus then told her that John was caught when he infiltrated his facility.

When Marlena pushed Orpheus to reveal John's location, he asked her to worry about her own life. In a dramatic twist, he pulled a gun on her and pulled the trigger. However, Marlen, aware of manipulative tactics, blocked the shot with a suitcase and banged him with it. Later, Orpheus nearly killed Andrew, but Paul stepped in to stop him.

As Marlena faced a threat from Orpheus, fans wondered whether she would be able to handle the man herself. With the current ongoings, it was revealed that Orpheus' plan failed because he underestimated Marlena's resilience and cunning. As his arrogance blinded him, Marlena exploited his overconfidence to turn his trap against him.

When Orpheus tried to finish Marlena off once and for all, not only did she save herself from the crisis by blocking Orpheus's bullet, but she also injured him with a suitcase. Despite being the master manipulator himself, Orpheus underestimated Marlena's killer instinct. Later, when he tried to trap Andrew by holding him at gunpoint, his plans failed again when Paul surprisingly took him down.

With all the drama that is happening in Salem, fans are eager to find out about the ultimate fate of Orpheus as Marlena outsmarts him on Days of Our Lives.
