The question remains: Team Brady or Team Xander?
Eric and Belle vs. EJ DiMera
At the DiMera mansion, Eric Brady and Belle Black join forces to confront EJ over his latest manipulative power games. Belle brings legal firepower, Eric brings righteous fury, and EJ responds with charm, half-truths, and growing cracks in his polished armor.
