Here’s why Xander threatens Philip in Days of Our Lives

Xander threatens Philip during the hospital fundraiser after learning that Philip may have betrayed him.

Philip approaches Xander to reveal that Sarah had known about a forgery involving Xander’s birthright but chose not to tell him. This revelation provokes Xander, who later tells JJ, that he is considering killing his brother.

Earlier that morning, Sarah pushes Xander to attend the fundraiser, despite his anger over feeling betrayed by those around him. Philip’s unexpected visit worsens the situation, as he informs Xander of Sarah’s involvement in concealing the forged letter that questioned Xander’s lineage and connection to Victor. Although Xander initially appears calm, the confrontation escalates at Horton Square, where Xander publicly tells Philip to leave Salem and calls for JJ to arrest him for fraud.

JJ declines, stating it’s a civil matter. Xander then mutters, about him considering killing his brother. Sarah quickly defuses the situation, describing it as sibling bickering. JJ leaves, but not before watching the brothers’ exchange closely.

Philip later clarifies his motives, saying he just did it because the brothers need to be together to make the DiMera takeover work. Although he admits he went along with Vivian’s plan to forge the letter while in a mental institution, he explains, that it’s what I thought he was owed. Philip assures Sarah he won’t expose her secret, acknowledging that doing so could end her marriage to Xander.

The scene ends with Sarah thanking Philip for staying silent and Xander watching them from a distance, unaware of their conversation.
