Good episode! All Brady car crash plot
Sarah wheels into her bedroom to find Maggie sitting on her bed scrolling on her phone. Maggie covers that she was wanted to ask about the decorations for Victoria’s birthday party. Sarah knows Maggie is actually there to help her get into bed. Maggie worries it is difficult for her. Sarah got coaching from a physical therapist. She says "prepare to be awed" and tries to get onto the bed. Maggie is hovering. Holly is staring from the door.
Xander is also scrolling on his phone in the K-Mansion living room. Fiona comes in and heads right for the booze, catches herself, and gets a bottle of water. Xander asks where "her little granddaughter" is? Fiona says she is in the kitchen with Bonnie gorging on ice cream. Xander asks if she is settling in ok? Fiona says her room is gorgeous and the staff are amazing. She can’t fathom why Xander ever moved out. Xander nods at Victor’s portrait and says that his "father" was not the gracious host that Maggie is. Justin comes in and greets the duo. He asks about Sarah. Justin offers his help. Anything he can do. Xander says that Justin needs to fire his client.
John is on the phone with nnseen Belle. She offered to come and be Brady's lawyer, but John told her that Justin had it covered. Paul also offered to come home to offer moral support. They look emotional.
Brady is in the interrogation room. Tate is escorted in. Brady looks devastated.
Xander continues to be Xander. How can Justin defend Brady? Sarah is family! Justin says he loves Sarah, but Brady is also family. He points out that everybody deserves a defense. Xander doesn’t think so. He says that getting behind the wheel drunk is not a lapse in judgment, it is a crime. Fiona is squirming next to him. And after running down Sarah, he went on his way and didn’t even check on her. He does not think Brady should ever see daylight again. Justin gets that Xander is suffering. Xander thinks scum like Brady should be locked up and the key thrown away. Fiona snaps at him, for God’s sake Xander, it was an accident!
Holly continues to observe Sarah’s attempts to transfer to the bed. Maggie is insisting on helping. Holly says she wants to help too. They get Sarah’s feet up onto the bed between them. Sarah jokes that the bed was moved up a foot and whoever did it will be hearing from her lawyer. Maggie says she won’t need help for long, she will be in and out of the chair like a pro soon. Holly apologizes again. She recaps the tale of the key. Sarah tells her that the search for the key did not put her in the chair, and there is only one person to blame for that.
Brady was not expecting Tate. He thinks Tate must be ashamed of him. Tate is not. He feels bad. He wants to understand. Brady says it starts with one drink, then one more. It is hard for alcoholics to stop. The kicker is he doesn’t remember the accident. That’s how drunk he was. It’s a blank. Tate doesn’t understand why Brady even started drinking again. What set him off?
Back at the townhouse, John is still fiddling with his phone. He talked to Dad Van Dyke that morning, who is sad for them all. He wants to help too. Marlena notes what a kind man he is. John appreciates all the family support. But it is a lot. He is lucky to have Marlena. She promises she is here for him and they will get through it together.
Holly doesn’t want to be let off the hook. More whining about the cabin and Tate and the key fiasco. Sarah says she can feel guilty about lying, but not about what happened to her. The only person is to blame is the driver who hit her. Holly guesses she is right. She still wishes she could go back in time and put the key where it is meant to be. Sarah tells her in one moment things can change. We have no control of what happens to us. We just have to handle what we can. Maggie is grateful that Sarah is getting stronger every day.
Tate has been updated that Brady started drinking post Theresa wedding fiasco. Brady says it isn’t her fault, but when he saw her marry Alex it hit him hard. He went to the pub and it went downhill from there. Tate points out that the wedding was weeks ago. Has Brady been drinking this whole time? Brady reminds him of the time in the square where he ran into him. They were both lying that day, but his was worse, because something terrible happened that can’t be undone. He didn’t want Tate to see him in the throes of his addiction. He is glad Tate isn’t ashamed of him, but he is ashamed of himself. Tate takes his hand.
Victor looks on as Xander asks Fiona why she is defending Brady, who she doesn’t even know? Fiona isn’t defending what he did, but she says he is an alcoholic with a disease, who did not mean to harm Sarah. Justin agrees. Xander accuses him of taking sides. Justin says it is not about taking sides, it is about being compassionate to somebody who made a terrible mistake and is remorseful about it.
Brady is a member of the family, a family who did not write off Xander when he locked Bonnie in a garden shed. Xander retorts that he doesn’t remember Justin offering him legal representation then. Justin points out that Xander is lucky he doesn’t need a lawyer now after he nearly choked Brady to death. Xander says if he gets another chance he will break Brady's neck.
John needed that hug. So did Marlena. John is going to go and talk to Brady. Marlena offers to go with. John thinks he needs to do this one alone. Marlena tells him to tell Brady that she loves him.
Brady has now told Tate the whole sordid tale, and it is ok if Tate wants nothing to do with him. Tate points out that Brady didn’t turn his back on him during the overdose ordeal. Brady points out that Tate was innocent. And he tried to keep Holly and Tate apart. Tate doesn’t care. He just wants to be there for Brady.
Brady tells him that Theresa may not be the only parent Tate has in prison soon. Tate is confused. It was an accident. Why would Brady go to jail for that? Tate says Sarah will forgive him because she is a doctor and understands Brady has a disease. Tate himself has already forgiven him. Manly hugs. Times up for Tate’s visit and he is escorted out.
Maggie wants to know if Sarah needs anything? Sarah is good. She wants to check on Victoria. Maggie tells her that Victoria is taste testing all the ice cream flavors with Bonnie. She worked up an appetite at the pool, and pulled herself up on the railings. She will walk soon. Sarah looks sad. Once Victoria walks it will be impossible for her to keep up with her. But she will find a way.
Sarah is glad her little girl is growing up. She is lucky. She has a wonderful husband and a beautiful little girl. That chair won’t stop her from being the best mother and wife. Maggie is proud of her. Sarah is proud of her too, despite all the losses Maggie has had, she is so tough. And tomorrow is Victoria’s birthday. Maggie assures her that Sarah’s smile, and the way her face lights up when she sees her, is all Victoria cares about.
