Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

Tate told Brady that the adoptive parents wouldn’t let him see the baby. He didn’t want to make a big deal about it because of Sophia. Brady told him that he could find a way to see his daughter without involving Sophia. Tate knew he could do it, but it would make it hard to move on from her. Brady respected his decision. Tate told him that he wanted a job. Brady invited him to go to the pub with him since he was meeting Sarah there. He thought he could talk to Roman about getting his job back at the pub. Sarah ran into Sophia at the pub. She advised her to tell Tate the truth about their baby so he could get the closure he needed. Sophia didn’t want him to hate her. She thought her mother could ruin her life by making her raise the baby. Sophia looked forward to her future at Salem University with Tate. Sarah reminded her that Tate was with Holly. Sophia thought it was only for now. Sarah advised her to make a fresh start and move on from Tate. Sophia didn’t plan on doing that. Brady and Tate arrived at the pub. Sarah stood by Brady’s side and brought up the baby to Sophia. Sophia slipped and called the baby a boy, and Brady heard it. She walked away to check on her food. Brady thought her actions were weird, but Sarah dismissed his concerns. Brady flashed back to Sarah questioning him when he told her that Sophia had a girl. Leo couldn’t believe the jury couldn’t come to an agreement because Adam was the hold out. Adam believed that Johnny was guilty and was determined to convince the other jurors to side with him. Leo called for another vote. The vote turned out to be split.

EJ wanted Kristen to make sure that Johnny was found innocent, or he would turn Rachel into the police. The siblings started arguing. Kristen wanted more to, but EJ said the jury was deliberating so she didn’t have any more time. Kristen couldn’t bribe the judge so she wondered what she was supposed to do. Did he expect her to frame an innocent person? EJ thought it was fine since an innocent person was being accused now. He demanded that she find someone to pin the crime on. EJ suggested that she frame Ava, but she didn’t think that would work. Marlena tried to keep Rachel in her bedroom. She tried to keep her distracted, but Rachel lied about her snake escaping its cage. Rachel slipped out the room and went downstairs. Marlena went after her while she went downstairs. Rachel wanted to know if her mother and uncle were keeping something from her. She wanted to know if EJ was upset with her for testifying at Johnny’s trial. EJ assured her that she didn’t do anything wrong. Marlena got a text from Belle. The jury reached a verdict.
