Love becomes a battlefield in Salem

A sneak peek at some of the action that will take place on during the week of June 14, 2021. Be sure to tune in to every weekday to see how everything plays out.

DiMera homecomings seem like a cause for celebration, but not everyone is rolling out the welcome wagon

While Sami remains stunned that E.J. is at her doorstep, she'll be even more shocked to discover his intentions for turning up

Though, just like old times, E.J.'s intentions aren't always ingenuous, and a hidden agenda may emerge

A stressed Sami strategizes to ensure her sordid secrets aren't exposed, while brothers E.J. and Tony reminisce

Tony tempts his little brother E.J. with a big offer -- and one that may paint a target on other brother Jake's back

As E.J. ponders Tony's proposal, he comes up with one of his own for Chad, which may reignite old sibling rivalries

Even though E.J. has returned to her side, Sami struggles with her feelings as she has love for both him and Lucas

Sami had better sort out her feelings soon, though, as Marlena stumbles upon her daughter and Lucas and immediately jumps to (correct) conclusions

Sami attempts to smooth things over with Marlena as Roman readies himself to hear out Lucas, who's seeking a favor from his former father-in-law

Even with former Father Eric far away in Africa, Nicole remains nervous over her scandalous one-night stand with Xander

Xander, of course, isn't making things easier for Nicole by demanding employment with Basic Black, even though Brady would go ballistic

Both Brady and Philip want to rekindle their courtships with Chloe, which causes friction between the Kiriakis heirs

The friction remains between Gwen and Xander, while Chanel hopes to continue to smooth things out with her mother

An enthusiastic Chanel presents her bestie and business partner to Paulina, but things swiftly go askew when Allie overshares

The smooch between Allie and her daughter definitely dumbfounds Paulina, who is quick to air some concerns to the culinary coworkers

Abe finds himself airing his feelings concerning Paulina to his old partner in crimefighting, Roman

Concerned about his marriage, Ben gets advice from someone who knows Ciara well, while Claire stuns her parents

A staggered Shawn and Belle respond to Claire's confession, and Belle responds to Jan's latest coma by wanting proof positive

Kate's negative views of Jake and Gabi haven't changed, and she continues to con them with her faux diagnosis

Jake's heart might be with Gabi, but cunning Kate has a way of getting under his skin and garnering some sympathy

Kate's broken and blind performance prompts an ugly argument between Jake and Gabi, much to the schemer's satisfaction

Gabi becomes even more dissatisfied when Kate wants a DiMera mansion homecoming, and Jake jumps at the chance

Still, even a seasoned schemer can slip up, and Kate might soon have some explaining to do regarding her health problems (or lack thereof)

Steve and Kayla are set for a double dinner date with Justin and a jittery Bonnie, who has high hopes for a problem-free evening
