Eric and Nicole team up on Eric's divorce on Days of Our Lives

During a busy day, Nicole stayed late at the Spectator office with her baby, Jude. Eric showed up and was happy to see them there. He was there to sort out his divorce with Sloan and had EJ helping him in this episode of Days of Our Lives.

As they dealt with the "publication divorce," Nicole decided to spice up the formal announcement, which Eric wasn't too happy about. Nicole wanted to make the divorce post more fun, but Eric wasn't on board, showing their contrasting styles.

Their teamwork highlighted how their relationship was changing, with both sharing duties and dealing with their lingering feelings. Even though it was late and they were doing something important, there were times in the episode when Eric would playfully fuss over Jude, showing how he was becoming more attached to Nicole's kid.


Stefan reveals shocking news to EJ on Days of Our Lives

EJ was caught off guard by Stefan at the DiMera mansion in Days of Our Lives. Stefan had this cocky grin on his face as he passed EJ a sealed envelope with DNA results inside. Stefan shared that the DNA results showed that EJ wasn't the father of Nicole's baby, Jude, but instead, it was Eric.

Stefan was enjoying himself with the revelation and even mentioned that EJ forgetting about the DNA test meant that he wasn't ready to face the truth. And just when EJ thought it couldn't get any worse, Stefan threw in another curveball by insisting he get Gabi out of jail.

Stefan asked EJ to use his influence in the recall campaign against Paulina to help him regain power and manipulate the DA's office. EJ got frustrated when Nicole walked in and stopped the argument. He stormed out on some errand, leaving Nicole to clean up the mess and ask Stefan about what happened.


Brady and Alex try to make up on Days of Our Lives

The episode also had a big moment with Brady and Alex meeting at the Brady Pub. They both had some tension because of their messy relationships with Theresa, but Alex stepped up and apologized for his part in it all, showing he's still committed to Theresa.

Brady reluctantly accepted the gesture, realizing that maybe it's best to leave his messy past with Theresa behind. Their chat was a step towards healing and moving on. As they said goodbye, Brady thought about all the drama with Konstantin and Victor, and then Eric came in looking for updates.

Abe and Paulina were getting ready for Juneteenth and their anniversary while all the drama was going down in Salem.
