If the story of Johnny and Brady brings tension, the development between Rachel and Kristen depicts the most heartbreaking family tragedy.

Kristen, the instinctive mother, did not hesitate to take the blame for her daughter, accepting a 6-year prison sentence to protect Rachel after the shooting of EJ.

She thought that by taking the blame, her daughter would be able to live in peace, free from the haunting memories.

But Rachel has matured much more than Kristen thought.

In a breathtaking scene, she walked into the prison, her eyes unusually calm. Without crying, without trembling, Rachel sat down and softly said: “I remember… I was the one who pulled the trigger.”

The words were like a knife stabbing straight into Kristen’s heart. All the sacrifices suddenly became meaningless. She was speechless, not knowing whether to be happy that her daughter dared to face the truth, or hurt that all her efforts to protect her had now become a burden.

At that moment, the mother was faced with two choices: to remain silent, accepting to spend many more years in prison to protect her child, or to speak out the truth, forcing Rachel to face the consequences. No matter which choice, that motherly love was put to a fierce test.

The scene ended with Kristen’s torn gaze behind bars, her eyes filled with tears but still shining with determination. Will she protect Rachel to the end, or will the truth finally come to light, opening a new storm for the whole family?
