Brady (Eric Martsolf) is consumed with his children's troubles this week, and for good reason. Rachel (Alice Halsey) just learned that her mother is in jail for shooting Uncle EJ (Daniel Feuerriegel) and is sure her mother didn't do it. And Tate (Leo Howard) is still heartbroken over not being able to ever meet his own child.

On Friday, Brady is set to get some rather disturbing news. Does he learn that Rachel is the one who shot EJ, and Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) threw herself on her sword to save their daughter? Will he discover that Marlena (Deidre Hall) already knows the truth, but Kristen wants to spare her child the emotional pain of remembering the truth?

Perhaps Steve (Stephen Nichols) will come to Brady with some news about Tate and Sophia's (Rachel Boyd) baby. Brady hired the investigator to get to the bottom of things. If Steve started looking at Chicago hospitals, he might find there is no record of Sophia Choi ever giving birth in one of them.

Whatever news Brady gets makes him realize there are tough times ahead for both of his kids.

For now, Tate is just trying to focus on his new job at The Brady Pub, the start of his college career, and his renewed relationship with Holly (Ashley Puzemis). However, Sophia is determined to come between them, so she now has a job at the pub, too.

Holly knows what Sophia is up to, so she confronts her former BFF and warns her not to come between her and Tate. Holly also makes sure to show Sophia some public displays of affection so that she gets the message.

Sophia hears Holly loud and clear, but she doesn't much care what Holly says or thinks. She and Tate have a special connection now due to her pregnancy, and Sophia plans to take full advantage of it. Little does she know how close Brady is to finding out her big secret, which would ruin her chances with Tate forever. Sophia may want to watch her step...
