Holly called Doug to let him know that she got the money to pay off his debts from Maggie. After she got off the phone, Tate arrived with flowers for her. He wanted to do something nice for her after what happened. Tate wished he could change what happened, but he couldn’t do it. The baby was coming regardless, but he didn’t want to lose her. She knew that he didn’t plan for the pregnancy to happen, but it was hard for her to handle. Tate promised not to let the baby come between them. He kissed her as Doug walked in the room. Doug apologized for interrupting them. Holly introduced them, and they became acquainted. Leo called Abe to tell him that Javi was Lady Whistleblower. Marlena showed up at his place to remind him about their lunch date. He wanted to get her advice about what’s going on with him. Leo felt bad for accusing Javi of being Lady Whistleblower, but he was right the entire time. Marlena warned him not to jump to conclusions about Javi. He didn’t have proof that Javi was guilty. Marlena asked him questions about it, and he realized Javi didn’t have any connection to Rochester. It didn’t make sense for Javi to have a bank account there. Leo wanted to confront Javi, but Marlena stopped him. She warned him things would get worse if he confronted Javi and wasn’t right. Leo agreed to wait to say something and thanked her for helping him. Javi made plans with Kerry over the phone. Kerry pulled out his computer and wondered how he could destroy Leo’s life. Gabi wanted to talk to Javi about Leo. She liked Kerry and thought he was destroying his relationship by being friends with him. They got into an argument over Leo. Gabi told him that she talked to Kerry, and he wasn’t happy about Leo being around. She advised him to cut Leo out of his life, but he didn’t want to do that. Javi told her that she and Kerry would have to get over his friendship with Leo.

Ava arrived at the townhouse, and Brady told her that Rachel was the one sending her the texts. She was shocked, but it made sense because she wanted her parents back together. Ava wondered what Brady was going to do about it. He told her what Kristen did to discipline her. They agreed to get her therapy. Ava was glad that she was getting help. Brady wanted to take Rachel’s behavior seriously. Ava thought they shouldn’t see each other anymore, but he didn’t agree with that. Brady didn’t want to give up his life to appease Rachel. Ava thought he should spend more time with Rachel and less time with her. Rachel held onto a letter opener and thought about Ava’s visit. She took the opener and picked the lock on the drawer to get her phone. Rachel started texting until Kristen caught her. She told her mother that she was playing a game, but she didn’t believe her. Kristen took the phone and saw that she sent Ava a threatening text. Kristen was upset with her about the text. Rachel didn’t seem worried about Kristen’s threats. Kristen told her that she and Brady wanted her to go to therapy. Rachel was okay with it as long as she talked to Marlena. Kristen didn’t think Marlena was the right therapist for her. Rachel was too close to Marlena, but she could tell her therapist anything she wants. Rachel wondered if Kristen would get back together with Brady if she saw a therapist. Kristen broke it to her gently that they weren’t getting back together. Therapy is for Rachel to get her feelings out. Kristen and Brady loved her, but they weren’t getting back together. Rachel agreed to go to the therapist. Brady told Ava that Rachel was the reason he wasn’t with Chloe anymore. He refused to let her get away with what she’s doing. Brady wanted to take things to the next level. He prepared to kiss Ava when he was interrupted. Kristen called him to let him know that Rachel agreed to get therapy. She thought Rachel was ready to get help. Rachel was in the hall and got her coat and backpack. She slipped out the door. Javi and Kerry went to the town square for lunch. He wanted Kerry to respect his decision to be friends with Leo. Leo and Marlena left the Inn. He saw Javi wearing the Rochester shirt and asked him where he got it. Javi told him that it was Kerry’s shirt. Kerry said it’s where he used to live. Leo smiled and looked towards Marlena.
