Salem High establishing shot. Repeat of yesterday with Eric walking in and Tate filling him in on Holly being mad at the world. This time though, Sophia is listening.
Repeat of Holly offering to help nail Brady. EJ tells her about Kristen stealing the car and that without forensic evidence he has nothing. Holly concludes that Brady is going to go free.
Brady wants to know what EJ said to Kristen? She lets him know that EJ figured out she took the car. Brady figures out somebody overheard him. He worries that EJ threatened her. She says he wanted her to flip on Brady but she called his bluff. Martyr Brady tells her to go back and give EJ what he wants.
Hospital establishing shot. Xander is pacing like a caged animal. He hates that Brady might go free. He needs the hypnosis to work. Fiona worries about Sarah having to relive the night. Perhaps it's better if she doesn't remember? Xander doesn't see it that way. Once Sarah remembers that Brady was the low life scum who left her for dead, he is going down. Fiona looks suitability worried.
Sarah is under. Marlena’s soothing voice begins. She asks Sarah to picture a large screen. Sarah sees herself walking in the parking lot. She hears the car. Marlena tells her to look at the driver. Can she see a face? Sarah can see someone.
Kristen refuses to lie to EJ. Brady doesn't want to risk both of Rachel's parents in jail. Kristen assures him that there is no risk, EJ can't touch either of them. Brady lets her know that Sarah is under hypnosis and soon he will be in jail where he belongs. And he will be relieved.
EJ assures Holly he's doing everything he can to nail Brady. If she finds anything though feel free to bring it in. Holly turns to go but EJ stops her. He wonders where her ire against Brady is coming from.
Tate complains that Holly could not wait to get away from him as Sophia lurks by the water fountain. She hadn't heard that EJ dropped the charges and is mad at Tate for standing by him. She really wants Brady to pay for hurting Sarah.
Marlena wants to know exactly what Sarah sees. She sees the gray car and bright lights. Blurry shot of Fiona. Sarah says she doesn't see Brady.
Fiona hopes Xander won't be too disappointed if Sarah does not remember. Xander chides her about her negativity. Marlena told them that sometimes people block painful memories as a coping strategy. He says this makes sense as Brady and Sarah were once close. Fiona tentatively asks if he has considered the possibility that the driver was not Brady?
Kristen says Brady is determined to pay for the accident. He just wants to atone. She says he can do that without going to jail. He says a few Hail Marys won't work for this. Kristen the former nun reminds him that God is forgiving. Brady needs to think about Tate and Rachel who need their father. Brady asks if that's why she fought so hard for full custody. Kristen mutters that she wants to do something about that.
Holly is furious that Sarah is struggling and Brady is facing no consequences. Does that sound fair to EJ? Especially after what Eric got away with. She knows Eric drove drunk and killed her father.
Tate gets it. It's worse because of... Eric finishes, because of what I did. He tells Tate that Holly is mad at him, not Tate. Sophia listens as Tate says he's not sure that's true.
Xander asks Fiona to look at the facts. Mr. Recovering Alcoholic got wasted and woke up in the driver's seat of his car, a car they know hit Sarah. And if said car hadn't disappeared he wouldn't have gotten off on a legal technicality. Brady's days of freedom are over. Fiona was hoping that there was a silver lining to the charges being dropped. No long trial. No agonizing about the outcome. She thought they could focus on positive things like Victoria's birthday and moving forward. Xander can't move forward until Brady is doing bench presses surrounded by barbed wire.
Fiona wonders if Sarah feels the same way. She and Brady are friends, and Brady is Xander's nephew. Xander asks if she really thinks that means Brady should go free? Fiona points out that neither of them has led a life of virtue and yet Xander gave her a second chance. She is emotional as she says she does not take that for granted. Xander let her back into his life and she gets to spend time with her granddaughter. For so long she thought she was out of his life forever. She can't bear the thought of leaving it all behind. She starts to cry.
Xander, who has been intently listening, assures her she can stay as long as she wants. He doesn't know what they'd do without her. She's been a godsend. Fiona breaks. She has something to tell him.
Marlena asks if Sarah doesn't see Brady who does she see? Sarah can see someone but can't make out the face. Marlena tells her to hold the memory. They will take it frame by frame. Sarah says the following, exact words "Yes. I know who it is."
Fiona doesn't know how to say it. Xander is reassuring her. Sarah comes wheeling in. He jumps up and asks if she remembers. Sarah is looking at Fiona.
EJ knows that Holly looked up to Eric as a second father. Finding out he killed her real father... well. Holly complains she trusted him and her mother. EJ tells her he pleaded with Nicole to tell her and warned her that she would find out some other way. Holly says they both know she was just protecting Eric. EJ knows.
Eric is not the best person to give advice but he thinks Tate needs to give Holly space. He takes off and Sophia steps in.
Rachel misses Brady. Kristen is trying to shield her but Rachel is smart. Kristen wants her to know that her father will be in her life always. Brady wants to know where this is coming from? Gratuitous flashback to yesterday, EJ telling Kristen she still loves Brady. Kristen says Brady is giving up but he won't give up on his daughter. She wants him to promise he won't give up on her future or his own. Brady promises
Sarah says she thinks it was someone she knows but she can't see the face. This goes against what she just said in the previous scene. Xander wants her to try again. Sarah doesn't want to talk about it right now. She wants to go home. She wants to splash water on her face first. Fiona offers to go with but Sarah says no. She needs a moment.
Xander is a mess of conflicted emotions as she goes. Fiona goes to comfort him. He asks what she was about to tell him. She says it doesn't matter. He walks deliberately away and pulls out his phone. He needs to go to Titan. Now. He wants Fiona to take Sarah home. This is something only he can handle. He looks set on something. Trust me, he says, this is a matter only I can handle. We all know this is not about Titan.
