Holly told Eric that it made sense for him to be back in town to support Brady after what he did. While Sarah was sleeping, Fiona attempted to put a pillow over her head. Fiona thought twice about what she was doing, but couldn’t let Sarah remember that she was the one who hit her. Brady yelled at Justin for convincing EJ to drop the charges against him. Ava showed up and joked about him being a fugitive. He let her know he wasn’t in the mood for her jokes. She said she tried to make him feel better. He said getting away with hitting someone made him feel worse. She said she took partial responsibility for what happened since she drank with him when he fell off the wagon. He let her know there was nothing she could have done to stop the destruction. She said she remembered going back to the pub to make sure he wasn’t driving home but he was with a woman with an accent. At the Kiriakis mansion, Justin ran into Xander and let him know that EJ dropped the charges against Brady.

Holly told Eric that she knew he killed her father. Eric said he was going to tell her tonight. She said he had 17 years to tell her. Instead of telling her the truth, Nicole lied to her and everyone went along with the lie. Eric said they were trying to protect her. Holly said her mother was a manipulator. She said she never thought to look into the investigation because she believed the monster who killed her father was dead, but he was living with her all along. Tate told John that he and Holly fought over him standing by Brady. He said he knew what his father did was bad, but he couldn’t turn his back on him. John said he felt the same way. Since Brady didn’t remember hitting Sara, there could be more to the story. John said there was nothing he or Brady could do that would make him stop loving them. Fiona pressed the pillow to Sarah’s face until she heard the doorknob. Xander came in the room with soup. When Sarah woke up, he told her EJ dropped the charges against Brady. Fiona said it was ridiculous since Brady confessed. Xander agreed with her and said Brady didn’t remember what happened which was why it was important for Sarah to remember what happened. Sarah said she couldn’t see the driver’s face. Xander told her to say it was Brady since he confessed to it. Sarah refused to lie and didn’t like that he wanted her to do it. When she didn’t wan to lie, he suggested she get hypnotized. Holly told Eric that she stole her father’s life to which Eric told her wasn’t planned. He said they were a family and Nicole didn’t want to ruin it. Eric also didn’t want her to know what he did because he loved her like a daughter and thought it would ruin their relationship. She said it did because she hated him. When he tried to reach out for her, she told him she would never forgive him. Brady asked Ava if she told anyone about finding him with a woman. She said she didn’t because she was glad that they were walking to the Salem Inn and not driving. He asked her not to say anything about the woman. She asked if the woman was married. He said she was Xander’s mother. She promised not to say anything. Fiona didn’t like the idea of Sarah getting hypnotized, but Xander and Sarah told her Marlena knew what she was doing. Sarah didn’t think Marlena would help knowing it could put Brady behind bars, but Xander thought Marlena would want to do the right thing. Fiona wasn’t sure about that since he shot her. Xander asked how she knew about that. Fiona lied and said she looked him up online. He said he was a better man now and wanted Brady to pay for what he did. Sarah thought they should leave it alone, but Xander couldn’t do that. Eric apologized to Holly and said he didn’t expect her forgiveness. He said Daniel was his friend and he loved him.
