Steve told Ava that he knew Stefan found Clyde’s book and took it to the police. Ava told him to stay out of it. Steve said he couldn’t because he and John helped get Clyde out of prison and he was going to say something. Ava said that wasn’t going to happen because she was looking for a permanent solution. Stefan told Paulina that he knew she was having issues with EJ. Paulina said they were at odds. Stefan said EJ refused to open a murder case that would exonerate someone in prison. He said Gabi would be found innocent of killing Li. Paullina said she needed to see the evidence that would exonerate Gabi. He said he had it. Holly told Nicole that she wanted to lead a better life. Nicole said she wanted that too. She said she would have had a different life if her childhood wasn’t screwed up. Nicole told Holly about her childhood. Holly told her controlling her life wasn’t the same as being there for her. When Nicole brought up New Year’s Eve, Holly was upset again. While they were talking, Holly asked if she could let her go to the prom. Nicole told her she couldn’t to the prom because she didn’t trust her. Holly told her that she would rather be dead. She threw up in Nicole’s face that she lost her other babies because she wasn’t cut out for motherhood. Nicole cried and left the room. Paulina looked over the evidence Stefan had. She thought it was compelling but circumstantial. Stefan said Rafe wanted to reopen the case. Paulina said he wanted it because Gabi is his sister. Stefan said the information wasn’t much, but it was enough for the case to be reopen. He said EJ didn’t want to do it. Paulina wanted to know why.
