Sydney DiMera

Either way, EJ won't have it and he's thwarted.

And I do suspect when Dante shows up this week and surprises Sidney DiMera that that Dante may be in Salem to take possession of the Curiacus Mansion for his old boarding school buddy, Dominic.

So EJ already was raging about mystery man Dominic snaking the mansion out from under him.

Remember, he went to Italy with Belle and Chad DeMera, primarily because EJ was hoping to confront Dominic and he's frustrated he didn't get to see the mystery man.

And this week we've got EJ confronting Rita about what she knows about Dominic.

We'll find out exactly how much that EJ overheard once he starts questioning Rita.

So EJ may suspect that his time as the presumed head of the DiMera family is in jeopardy, and he may feel that Rita is no longer as loyal as she claims to be.

And of course, he would be exactly right about that.
