While JJ grapples with the past, Holly Jonas is haunted by the present – ​​and a secret she’s keeping is causing her life to slip away.

This week, Holly was caught sneaking around the dorms multiple times, deleting messages, avoiding the eyes of her friends.

When Ari Horton asked her directly, “What are you hiding?” Holly simply replied, “If I tell you, you’ll never look at me the same way again.”

According to Salem University sources, Holly was involved in a fire in the dorms last month.

Police suspect someone accidentally poured sleeping gas into the ventilation system, knocking students unconscious – and the fire started in the room where Holly lived. However, Holly insists she wasn’t there, while surveillance video shows a figure who looks a lot like her leaving the building just before the fire broke out.

Things get even more complicated when Sophia Choi – a girl who used to be Holly’s best friend – shows up and says: “Holly knows everything. She’s just afraid to tell.” Later, Sophia is mysteriously attacked in the parking lot, and on her phone there is an unread text message from an anonymous number: “She won’t say anything anymore.”

Holly hears the news and runs away from the dormitory in a panic. In a tense rainy night scene, she is followed by someone. She cries as she runs, silently saying: “Please don’t let that happen again…” She finally hides in the old warehouse – where the lights flicker and a photo of baby Tesoro falls out of her pocket.

This detail makes viewers wonder: why did Holly bring the photo of the baby? Is her secret related to the baby swap that is shaking Salem?
