While the Sophia scandal is making waves in Salem, another wave is rolling in the DiMera household: Leo Stark officially confronts EJ DiMera, demanding that he “tell the whole truth” about the mysterious blackout that paralyzed the entire town.

No longer the gossip clown, Leo this time steps out like a tough warrior, carrying evidence that makes EJ sweat.

The confrontation takes place at the DiMera Enterprises office.

Leo closes the door, tosses the USB – which contains the partially restored security camera footage – on the table.

“You know exactly what happened that night,” Leo says, his voice cold as steel. EJ raises an eyebrow: “Are you slandering me?” Leo replies: “I’m just showing the truth.”

The spoiler says Leo discovered a video that shows EJ in the central area at the exact time of the blackout, and some of the deleted data matches the DiMeraTech account. If this is made public, the entire DiMera empire could collapse.

In the fantasy, the confrontation is tense: Leo approaches, looks straight at EJ. “You can destroy me, but I can take you down with me.” EJ sneers: “You’re playing a dangerous game, Leo.” – “That’s my best game,” Leo replies, his eyes flashing provocatively.

The battle of wits between these two smart, cunning guys is likened to “Salem’s chess match”: one side holds the power, the other holds the secrets. Whoever slips first loses everything. Despite Leo’s bravado, EJ has enough connections to retaliate – and the audience has every right to wonder: can Leo survive after messing with the DiMera beast?
