Ari (Marissa Reyes) kept Liam (Hank Northrop) hidden in her dorm, but when Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) showed up, the two lied about him being a student. Later, when Ari asked Liam to read the manuscript for her, he faked being able to read it. Just as Rachel (Lorelei Olivia Mote) gave Brady (Eric Martsolf) her blessing to date Sarah (Linsey Godfrey), Sarah confided in Maggie (Suzanne Rogers) about her feelings for both Brady and Xander (Paul Telfer). Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) learned that Vivian (Louise Sorel) was dead and Xander offered him a moment of comfort. When Holly (Ashley Puzemis) and Tate (Leo Howard) hopped into bed, Tate admitted he was having trouble, then flipped out at her before realizing that the skin supplements could be causing their strange behavior. Later, Sarah got Holly’s blood results and they learned she has antipsychotic meds in her system. Tate wondered if Rachel could have switched out her meds from Bayview with the skin supplements.

When Shawn admitted to Jada that he felt uncomfortable going home with Belle (Martha Madison), she offered to let him stay with her.

When Johnny (Carson Boatman) and Chanel (Raven Bowens) arrived for Trey’s adoption hearing, Melinda (Tina Huang) brought in Sophia (Rachel Boyd) to speak. Sophia testified that Johnny and Chanel are not fit to raise her son, but the judge disagreed. When the judge sentenced Rachel back to Bayview, Kristen tore into Marlena.
