Holly talks about being overwhelmed with finals and not really having her internship with Titan anymore since Stephanie isn&#8217;t writing. Holly wonders what she&#8217;s going to do all summer now. Tate encourages her to relax and hang out with him.<\/p>\n<p>Sophia sits in her room with the suicide note that she wrote until her mom Amy comes in with a bag of food. Amy tells her that she wants to celebrate her tonight and how happy her family is that she&#8217;s home. Amy says that no one is happier than she is and that she loves her so much as she hugs her and Sophia says she loves her too.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah goes back to check on Chanel but finds she&#8217;s gone from the hospital. Sarah then tries to call her but it goes to voicemail, so she leaves a message that they really need to do the additional imaging.<\/p>\n<p>Johnny remains tied up in his apartment and dreams of Chanel coming home to try to rescue him but the place blowing up. Johnny then snaps out of it and realizes that wasn&#8217;t real, then he sees the candle remains lit and he continues to worry.<\/p>\n<p>Holly talks to Tate about how she&#8217;s usually excited for summer and how the meds Sophia gave her are slowly leaving her system. Tate says she does seem to be doing better while Holly questions how long it&#8217;s going to be before she starts feeling like herself again.<\/p>\n<p>Amy says she&#8217;s going to start cooking and invites Sophia to join her, but Sophia claims she&#8217;s going to meet with a student about applying for the University of Chicago. Amy tells her that&#8217;s great and to just be home for dinner. Sophia tells her that she knows things haven&#8217;t always been great between them and that she brought a lot of grief to the family. Sophia cries that she&#8217;s really sorry about that and even though they disagree on everything, she knows that she has always wanted the best for her. Sophia says she really appreciates that and that she knows Amy never stopped loving her no matter what. Amy assures that she never will. Amy acknowledges that she&#8217;s made a lot of mistakes as a mother and wishes she could go back to spare the pain she caused her. Amy says she thanks God every day for giving them a second chance and that Sophia got the treatment she needed to come home. Amy praises Sophia doing the hard work to get better and says now she has a bright, beautiful future ahead of her. Amy can&#8217;t wait to see where it leads. The doorbell rings, so Amy goes to answer it, leaving Sophia holding back tears.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah and Chanel find each other at the hospital as Chanel explains that she just went to the chapel while waiting for radiology to come back. Sarah was worried that Chanel left. Chanel admits she thought about it but she knows putting it off won&#8217;t change anything. Sarah encourages that it won&#8217;t take very long and says she&#8217;s really glad she stuck around. Chanel wishes Johnny was there or that he&#8217;d at least call her back because it&#8217;s not like him to not at least text back.<\/p>\n<p>Javi shows up at Johnny and Chanel&#8217;s apartment complex with another firefighter in response to a gas leak. They talk about being unable to find it but then Javi thinks he smells it from inside. Javi orders his partner to call it in as he knocks on the door.<\/p>\n<p>Holly and Tate have dessert in the town square. Holly credits Tate for making her feel better. Holly talks about looking in to course for next semester and starts suggesting that she and Tate take a class together. Holly notices that makes Tate uncomfortable and asks him what&#8217;s wrong. Tate responds that he was going to wait until after finals to tell her, but he&#8217;s dropping out of college.<\/p>\n<p>Sophia looks at her photo of Trey and remarks that he&#8217;ll be much better off without Johnny. Sophia then hears Amy answering the door and that it&#8217;s Brady and Jada, who tells her that they need to bring Sophia down the to the police station.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah brings Chanel back to her hospital room and talks about being there for her. Chanel worries about what if it is cancer. Sarah says if so, she&#8217;ll make sure she gets the best care possible and she&#8217;ll be there every step of the way. Chanel thanks her and says she couldn&#8217;t ask for a better doctor or friend. Chanel asks how long she has to wait for the results. Sarah says she asked radiology to read the imaging immediately so she won&#8217;t have to wait longer.<\/p>\n<p>Javi breaks in to the apartment to find Johnny tied up. Javi begins to cut him free and asks what happened. Johnny says Chanel and Trey&#8217;s names while Javi asks who did this to him and then the cup of liquid catches on fire.<\/p>\n<p>Holly questions why Tate would drop out of college now when he worked so hard to get his grades back up. Tate says he was proud of that but he was miserable spending his Christmas break taking online classes and he wanted to see if it got better but it didn&#8217;t. Holly had no idea he was so unhappy. Tate mentions that the one class he did enjoy was exercise physiology and it made him want to learn more to become a personal trainer. Tate knows it seems out of left field and impulsive but says he has a vision for himself to start working towards having his own business and maybe be training clients by the end of the year. Tate talks about wanting to help people. Holly admits that it seems like he put a lot of thought in to this. Tate adds that if he changed his mind, he could always re-enroll but he feels like he has to give this a shot. Tate asks if she&#8217;s upset. Holly responds that she just thought they were going to share the whole college experience together, but she won&#8217;t argue with what makes him happy.<\/p>\n<p>Amy tells Brady and Jada that there must be a mistake as they go to Sophia&#8217;s room and find that she escaped through the window.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah returns to Chanel with her test results. Chanel worries that it&#8217;s not good news. Sarah confirms the results are highly suggestive of a malignancy but urges her not to jump to the worst case scenario, adding that most breast cancers are curable. Chanel cries that she already had one type of cancer and now could have another while pregnant. Sarah promises to get her and her baby through whatever she is facing.<\/p>\n<p>The firefighter instructs Javi to get Johnny out and that he will go check the bedroom.<\/p>\n<p>Amy says she doesn&#8217;t understand as Sophia said she was going to meet with a college student about summer classes. Jada guesses she heard them out the door and ran for it. Brady says she couldn&#8217;t have gotten far. Jada tells Brady to stay there while she exits. Brady picks up the photo of Trey that Sophia left behind while Amy finds the suicide note that Sophia left behind.<\/p>\n<p>Kristen goes to a bridge, looking for Sophia.<\/p>\n<p>Tate promises Holly that nothing is going to change between them. Sophia then appears in the town square and calls out Holly for what she said about her online. Holly responds that it was all true. Sophia asks if she gets off by spreading lies and rumors online. Holly argues that they aren&#8217;t rumors and calls her a criminal and psychopath. Holly mocks her pretending to be a sad innocent victim. Sophia brings up Holly posting that she wishes she was dead. Holly asks what she expected after everything she&#8217;s done and points out that Sophia could&#8217;ve killed her. Sophia denies giving her meds to Holly while Tate argues that they all know she did. Sophia says of course Tate would take Holly&#8217;s side, but argues that Holly hated her long before this because she&#8217;s jealous of her. Sophia remarks that Holly hates that she slept with Tate before she did and it drives her insane, so she made up a story to get her in trouble. Holly tells Sophia that no one believes her, no one likes her, and no one wants her around. Holly says it&#8217;s sad because she used to be normal but she blew it because she couldn&#8217;t handle that Tate chose her. Holly argues that Sophia deserves all the hate coming towards her and she hopes it never ends. Sophia questions Tate letting Holly tal to her like that. Tate points out that Sophia came over to them. Holly argues that she still has her sanity, friends, and Tate while Sophia has nothing. Holly declares that she&#8217;s most happy that Johnny and Chanel got her baby away from Sophia. Sophia calls her horrible. Holly tells her to get over herself and remarks that it&#8217;s obvious she stopped taking her meds and that she shouldn&#8217;t have been let out of Bayview. Holly calls her a crazy bitch and admits part of her wishes she really was dead. Sophia then blows her a kiss and walks away.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah tells Chanel that she will schedule the biopsy right away. Chanel says she just needs time to process all of this. Javi and the firefighter then arrive with Johnny on a stretcher. Javi explains to Sarah how he was found as Chanel is shocked to see Johnny.<\/p>\n<p>Holly complains to Tate about Sophia and calls her a sociopath. Tate says he&#8217;s so sorry for what Sophia said to her. Holly mentions that she did post that Sophia was dead to her but it was just a figure of speech and she probably shouldn&#8217;t have said she wishes it were true, but says she kept doubling down on her lies and she can&#8217;t take it anymore. Holly declares that she just really hates Sophia and calls her pure evil, like a demon free to torture them. Tate encourages that they will make her pay and send her to Bayview or maybe even prison. Holly remarks that she wants Sophia to rot in Hell for what she did to them, Johnny, and Chanel. Holly repeats that there&#8217;s nothing good in Sophia as she is pure evil. Tate says he doesn&#8217;t disagree. Holly then asks if she&#8217;s evil too and if he thinks she&#8217;s a terrible person for saying all these things about her. Tate encourages that she&#8217;s not and that she has every right to feel the way she does about Sophia.<\/p>\n<p>Amy sits down and tearfully reads Sophia&#8217;s suicide note. Amy says she has to go find her daughter. Jada comes back and tells them that she couldn&#8217;t find Sophia. Brady then reveals to her that they found a suicide note. Jada calls it in to the police as Amy cries that this can&#8217;t be happening.<\/p>\n<p>Javi asks Chanel where Trey is since he wasn&#8217;t in the apartment. Chanel explains that he&#8217;s in Chicago with Lani and asks about seeing Johnny. Javi says Sarah just wants to examine him first. Chanel asks what happened and why Johnny was rushed in. Javi informs her that one of her neighbors called that they smelled gas coming from their place. Chanel asks if Johnny passed out from the gas leak but Javi reveals there was no gas leak, confusing Chanel as she questions again what happened. Javi reveals that he found Johnny tied to a chair with a lit candle near an accelerant and the stove on. Chanel asks why but Javi says he doesn&#8217;t know and that it seems like someone was trying to kill him.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah gets Johnny in a hospital bed where he comments on being dizzy from all the gas and fumes. Sarah mentions the lacerations on his wrists and asks if he was tied up. Johnny confirms he was and that the gas leak wasn&#8217;t an accident. Sarah asks if he knows who would&#8217;ve done this to him. Johnny then reveals that it was Sophia Choi.<\/p>\n<p>Sophia meets Kristen on the bridge. Kristen says it&#8217;s remote and secluded with no security cameras which means nothing can be recorded. Kristen asks if she took care of Johnny. Sophia pulls out the gun and tosses it in to the river. Sophia then asks if Kristen has her money and fake passport because she&#8217;s going to start a new life in Paris. Kristen says that Sophia first needs to jump in the river or at least make it look like she did to take her own life because everyone needs to believe that she&#8217;s dead. Sophia responds that the old her is dead and confirms that she wrote the suicide note, so she&#8217;s sure her mom found it by now and everyone will know that Holly and Johnny drove her to this. Kristen tells her that revenge is sweet. Sophia starts to cry so Kristen questions what&#8217;s wrong. Sophia admits she&#8217;s going to miss her family. Kristen questions her getting cold feet when they are this close. Sophia assures that she&#8217;s good and doing this. Sophia thanks Kristen. Kristen instructs her to leave her backpack and throw her shoes in the river, which she does. Kristen reminds Sophia to grip the railing in case the police check for fingerprints. Kristen then come from behind and smashes Sophia in the back of the head with a rock, knocking her out. Kristen flashes back to confronting Sophia over using Rachel. Kristen calls Sophia a stupid girl and asks if she really thought she&#8217;d let her get away with what she did to her daughter.<\/p>\n<p>Chanel visits Johnny in his hospital room and says Javi just told her what happened. Chanel asks if someone really tried to kill him. Johnny questions Chanel being at the hospital when they brought him in when he thought she was in Chicago. Johnny asks if something happened and if Trey is okay. Chanel assures that Trey is fine with Lani at the aquarium and they are heading back to Salem now. Johnny questions why Chanel was here but Chanel says to just focus on him for now.<\/p>\n<p>In the town square, Jada tells Brady that Sophia seems to have disappeared but the entire police force is looking for her. Brady then spots Tate and Holly, so he asks if they&#8217;ve seen Sophia. Tate confirms that she was there awhile ago. Holly asks who she&#8217;s terrorized now. Jada asks if they know where she went. Holly says they got in to it and Sophia ran off. Tate adds that she seemed pretty upset and questions what&#8217;s going on. Brady reveals they were at Sophia&#8217;s house earlier. Jada explains that she was going to bring her in for questioning about the pill switch. Brady then informs Holly and Tate that Sophia wasn&#8217;t there, but they found a suicide note. Jada gets a call from Sarah, who informs her that Johnny was just brought in by the fire department after nearly dying from inhaling gas in his apartment. Sarah informs Jada that according to Johnny, Sophia Choi tried to murder him. Jada is shocked and asks when this happened. Sarah says it was a little over an hour ago and tells Jada that she has to find Sophia. Jada confirms they are looking for her now but so far there&#8217;s been no luck. Sarah asks how she can help. Jada instructs her to have an officer watch Johnny&#8217;s hospital room and she&#8217;ll be right there. Sarah hangs up as Javi comes over and asks how Johnny is. Sarah says she&#8217;s going to have a nurse check on him as she has to go check on something. Sarah then asks if Javi is alright as Javi gets dizzy and collapses.<\/p>\n<p>Kristen has two men dump Sophia&#8217;s body into the river. Kristen then tosses the bloody rock in after her and declares that she told her revenge was sweet.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you or someone you know needs help, call or text the 988 Suicide &amp; Crisis Lifeline at 988, or visit 988lifeline.org.
