Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

Belle showed Chad the microscopic word she found in the insert. It said Viva Verde which meant long live Victor Emanuel who was the King of Italy. Belle said it connected the Celtic knot and several sites in Italy. While they were talking, she said she thought she knew who was leaving the clues. Belle said it was Dr. Rolf. Chad said Rolf was bad news and that it could be his father’s trap. He told her he couldn’t live with himself if anything happened to her. Belle said she needed answers. She wanted to go to Italy and investigate what was going on. Gabi told Rafe that she got her inheritance and was going to use it to pay back a debt and start a trust fund for Arianna. She told him about the counterfeit bags and how she was getting Gwen and Leo’s help. Rafe was shocked that she went to them for help. She told them that they know about the counterfeit world. Brady went to the hospital to check in with Sarah since he heard that Holly was being discharged. Sarah said she was going to keep an eye on Holly. She left to check on a patient. Tate showed up and showed Brady the pills he found in Holly’s bag. EJ was watching them and flashed back to putting the pills in Holly’s bag. Marlena came up from behind EJ and told him that she heard about what was going on with the hospital. EJ let her know that the sale hasn’t gone through. He was sure that Gwen’s buyer would back out.

Sarah went back to Brady and Tate. They told her about the pills in Holly’s bag. She told them she would have the pills tested, but they had to talk to Holly. Brady said he would search around the Kiriakis mansion. Sarah and Tate went to talk to Holly. When they went to Holly’s room, they showed her the pills from her bag. Holly said she didn’t know what they were. Tate told her he found them in her bag. Holly said she never saw the pills before. Sarah said she wanted to get her the help she needed, but she had to admit to the problem. Holly said that the bag was empty for months. She said she wasn’t using drugs again and was sick of being accused of doing something she didn’t do. Sarah left to get something to calm Holly down. Holly yelled at Tate who said he believed her. She let him know that it would have been stupid of her to ask him to look in the bag if the pills were in there. Sarah came back with the sedative. Holly took it and told them to get out of her room. When they left the room, Holly took the pills out of her mouth. Gabi wondered how the companies were getting her designs when the only people who had access to her designs worked for her or were the manufacturers. She said she knew who was behind it. Brady came back to the hospital to let Sarah and Tate know that Holly’s room was clean so the pills were the only ones she had. Sarah said she sent them to the lab. Tate said Holly denied the pills were hers. Holly put her stuff in the bad and snuck out.
