They have both expressed interest in Victor's (John Aniston) evil brother, and now, the battle of a lifetime will officially begin between Kate (Lauren Koslow) and Nicole (Arianne Zucker) about who will be the one to capture Deimos's (Vincent Irizarry) heart on Days of Our Lives.

Kate has been sleeping with him and romantically linked to him almost since he came to Salem, and has been by his side despite his less than legal ways of securing Victor's fortune, home and companies. To secure her position as co-CEO of Titan, and the access to the even greater fortune it gives her, she has even proposed marriage to him, which he had agreed to. However, after she returned to the mansion to see him again just a few hours later, she came across a robe-clad Nicole, and wants to know what she is up to.

Nicole has also been setting her sights on Deimos, however for very different reasons. She quickly learned after first meeting him that she was an exact doppelganger for Helena, the woman he loved decades before in Greece, who was Victor's fiancee. Deimos served 30 years in prison for her murder after Victor set him up to take the fall for her death, and Deimos never got over his brother's betrayal, or the woman he lot, which has drawn him to Nicole.

After he drugged Maggie (Suzanne Rogers) and caused her fall down the stairs which rendered her unable to walk, Deimos only gave her the antidote when Victor signed over all of his wealth to his brother. When Victor then later had a heart attack he left him to die. Outraged by how he treated them, Nicole is trying to get revenge on their behalves, by attempting to use her looks to seduce Deimos and get him to agree to marrying her instead, so she can fleece him of everything and give it back to Maggie and Victor. She has so far managed to come close to succeeding at the first part of her plan, after arriving in wet clothes and fibbing about car trouble. The two quickly gave in to the heat that was between them and almost made love before she halted things. However, Kate will discover her when she is still waiting on her freshly dried clothes.

Now, both women, who are known for not letting go easily when they want someone or something, will be locked in a fierce battle as they try to see which one will succeed at winning Deimos for good.

Days of Our Lives airs Monday-Friday at 1 p.m. on NBC.
