At the bar, E.J. told Eric that Holly would never trust Eric and Nicole again, but E.J. noted that she had E.J. to lean on. E.J. smugly told Eric that Holly's opinion of both of them had drastically changed. E.J. said that Holly had come to him for solace, as Holly was horrified about what Eric had done to her father and what Brady had done to Sarah. E.J. said he had empathy for Holly and knew how she felt. "Nicole is incapable of putting anyone ahead of you, including her own daughter. Holly is better off without you," E.J. said. Eric jumped up from his seat, grabbed E.J. by his shirt, and yelled at him to shut up. Eric warned E.J. to stay away from Holly.
Jada walked in and asked what was going on as she broke up Eric and E.J.'s fight. E.J. lied and said that he'd been there, minding his own business, when Eric had attacked him out of nowhere.

Tate could see she was traumatized about learning that Eric had killed her dad, but Tate noted that she wasn't apologetic. "What do I have to apologize for? I was gone one day, and Sophia was all over you," Holly snapped.

"Victoria and I could lose you forever. I can't handle that, not on top of all this," Sarah said, motioning to her legs. She asked Xander if he thought he would get away with murder. "I'm not going to shoot Brady. Brady is going to shoot himself," Xander said.
Xander explained that Brady felt guilty about what he had done to Sarah and regretted escaping legal punishment. "Are you going to force him to shoot himself?" Sarah asked. Xander said that was the plan, more or less, and he assured her that no one could trace it back to him. Sarah said she remembered who Xander was before they had met and that he had said he was a changed man. She begged Xander not to follow through with his plan.
Sarah told Xander to let karma or the universe take care of Brady, but Xander said he was a Kiriakis and Victor's son. "You are not Victor!" Sarah cried.

Sarah argued that the accident had been awful but not intentional. Xander disagreed, insisting that every step of that night had been a decision that Brady had chosen to make. "Admit it—you want justice, too," Xander said.

Sarah agreed that she wanted Brady punished, but she wanted it done by the criminal justice system. Xander's phone dinged. He had a message from Brian that read, "It's done." Xander urged Sarah to go back home with Henderson and suggested she focus on how much he loved her.
