Salem is shocked when Marlena makes a revelation that leaves Brady speechless: it was his daughter Rachel who pulled the trigger and shot EJ.

All this time, Kristen has been in prison, the whole town believes that scenario.

But Marlena, with the acumen of a psychiatrist, pieces together the chaotic pieces of Rachel’s mind and sees the truth.

Rachel carries a terrible burden, panic attacks and persistent obsessions.

Marlena understands that if she is not guided, she will destroy herself. She frankly reminds Brady: “She needs a sober father, not a scared one.”

Brady, in turmoil, wants to protect his daughter, but also fears that the truth will cause Rachel to lose her future. Worse, EJ – the victim of the shooting – is gradually recovering, and if he knows the truth, there will be no way back. Will Brady choose to continue hiding to keep the baby, or bravely face it to protect Rachel from his own sinful ghost?
