36 minutes including credits. Not a terrible episode.
Price Townhouse - Paulina and Abe are getting ready to go back to the hospital to find out if she's cancer-free.
Cook-Horton Apartment (matte painting in the window suggests they live on a high floor) - Xander talks about the evidence the prosecution has shared. Sarah has to go to work. She'll call to check in on her sweethearts; Xander will probably be working on this case and checking on the "wee bairn" all day. (Victoria is in a basinet next to his desk.) Later, he reads Witness #5 and Witness #6's statements (can't wait to hear what DrBakerFan has to say about these), both of which have nothing implicating Xander. Witness #7, same.
Serenity House Visiting Room - Tate is mad that his mother is speaking ill of the wondrous Holly. Jeannie T calls Holly a spoiled brat. Jeannie T doesn't like that her innocent son is being blamed for something that that "selfish little girl" was responsible for. Tate didn't realize that Jeannie T believed him. Tate doesn't want Jeannie T yelling and he doesn't want her mad at him.
Jeannie T apologizes for lashing out at him. She calmly talks to him about relationships, and although times and apps have changed, the feelings are the same. Crushes are temporary, not lasting. Tate's not looking to get married. Jeannie T suggests that if Holly had feelings for Tate, she’d not have let him stew for her own crimes. Tate continues to defend Holly. Jeannie T doesn't want to lecture, and leaves Tate with the question he should ask himself: "Will Holly Jonas always have my back?"
DiMansion Living Area - Replay of Brady returning from his phone call, party's over, EJ smirks, Brady says he's going to see Tate, Holly winces, EJ chest thumps, and Holly confesses. Only today instead of reaction shots we get angry Brady and defensive EJ. Brady doesn't back down but isn't really harsh either. EJ questions this sudden epiphany/change in story. It comes out that Eric knew because Holly had to tell someone.
EJ asks if Tate dealt her the drugs, angering Brady. EJ calls Tate a delinquent after Holly says Tate had tried to get her not to take the drugs. Holly tells Nicole she heard her nighttime confession, blaming herself for Holly's troubles as well as the death of her baby. EJ is angry Eric got the confession. Holly is sorry for what this has done to Tate, she will regret it the rest of her life. EJ doubts this is the truth; Holly has proof. She takes Nicole upstairs.
DiMansion Holly's Bedroom - Nicole could never be mad at Holly. Holly shows her a stash of pills in a jewelry box she got last year. Nicole gives the pills back and says they have to go show everyone.
DiMansion Living Area - Everyone is waiting as Holly and Nicole appear and show the pills. Brady is angry that she sat on this secret. Nicole suggests that perhaps Holly just remembered due to the coma.
Hospital Room - Paulina is nervous after her scan. She talks with Abe about having to be still for 30 minutes. Sarah enters. The oncologist was called away but she's going to review the results with her. After some stalling for time that they don't even bother to fill with recaps or small talk, and an ad break, Sarah tells her she's in complete remission. Paulina hugs her, then apologizes. Sarah says it's okay, this is the best part of her job. She still has to do some thyroid treatments but then should be clear.
DiMansion Living Room - Holly admits that she remembered immediately and was just too scared. She feels bad. Brady summarizes Holly's misdeeds calmly, then appropriately yells at EJ that the charges will be dropped against Tate and a public apology will be issued. He leaves, triumphant; EJ stews for a minute before darting out. Holly cries and runs upstairs. Nicole sobs, Eric stops her from going upstairs and they hug. Nicole learns that Holly told him today. She's glad that Eric was there for Holly, hopes she will be all right. EJ returns and says "It's done." Nicole thanks Eric, who leaves. EJ stews.
DiMansion Stoop - Holly is crying. Eric comes out. He sits with her. She loves him and wishes he was with her mom.
Hospital Waiting Area/Cook-Horton Apartment - Paulina and Abe are leaving as Sarah tells Paulina how amazing and awesome she is as a patient. Abe and Paulina leave; Sarah calls Xander to check on Victoria, and maybe take her out for a run. At the apartment, after hanging up with Sarah, Xander decides to change for his run, and realizes his running clothes are distinctive and recognizable. He goes to look at the evidence again. A bit later, he muses about the lesson of not wearing the same jogging suit regularly and tells Victoria that he’s going to be a free man.
Price Townhouse - Paulina's glad to be home and cancer free. The continued thyroid treatment which will require one more admission to the hospital is routine.
DiMansion Living Room - Nicole muses about what a day they've had. She's grateful for Eric's support of Holly; EJ is glad for this connection, too (and seems sincere). Nicole is thankful for EJ cutting through some of the bureaucracy to ease everyone's suffering. EJ and Nicole wonder from whom she did receive the drugs? Nicole says they'll have to find out as parents but also because the drugs almost killed her. EJ says the most important thing is to support her.
Serenity House Salem - Brady enters as he is talking on the phone with an unseen Justin. Everything's been taken care of; he tells Jeannie T and Tate that the charges have been dropped. He can come home immediately and the ankle monitor will be removed tonight. Holly confessed. Jeannie T is still salty that Holly kept the secret so long, but Tate is thrilled that Holly came through for him even though he told her she didn't have to come clean. This confounds Brady and Jeannie T. They move past it quickly and hug to celebrate his leaving. END
