Center Stage
Holly is on a tear. She’s upset that Tate dared to defend his dad, Brady, who drove drunk—because in Holly’s eyes, all drunk drivers are villains like the one who killed her father.
Things escalated when she found out that her cherished ex-stepfather, Eric, was actually the drunk driver responsible for her dad’s death.
Now, Eric is lamenting to Marlena about how Holly has turned away from him, and Tate is desperately seeking Holly’s forgiveness.
Eric’s guilt makes sense since he sees Holly almost like a daughter.
But Tate is just a teenage boy with a super attractive and cool girl, Sophia, showing interest in him.
He might just decide it’s best to tell Holly to move on and stay away.
Pillow Talk
Fiona briefly thought about smothering Sarah with a pillow to keep her from remembering that Fiona was behind the awkwardly staged hit-and-run that left her injured.
Fiona changed her mind—or maybe Xander’s unexpected arrival stopped her.
Either way, she’s now rethinking her choice and may consider another attempt on the paralyzed Sarah.
Choosing Sides
Stefan is angry with EJ, but he’s also not too happy with Kristen.
Kristen’s friendship with Ava, who had an affair with Stefan, ultimately led to his marriage with Gabi falling apart after she hooked up with EJ.
But EJ believes in the saying, “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
Although Kristen may never truly be EJ’s ally, if she opposes Stefan, there’s something she might do for EJ, even if he has to push her to do it. So, what’s up with Brady’s car?
