Ari meets with Tate at the Pub to talk over the Holly Situation. He’s worried about how she’ll react when she’s rejected by the sorority, so he’d like a nice, romantic night in their dorm room. Ari can go hang with Aaron and — Nope! Holly’s been horrible to her lately, so forget that noise. But Tate begs Ari until she says yes.
Is Holly Pregnant??
Holly shows up to breakfast in the square with Maggie, Sarah and Victoria to talk over Salem’s latest happenings. Holly’s more interested in the french toast than Stephanie’s wellbeing, which annoys Sarah — until the teen says she’s either starving or nauseous lately.

That, plus the mood swings… Is Holly pregnant?? No (Lord, we hope not.), but we get Maggie and Sarah thinking that! Holly insists they use double protection, and runs off. Sarah thinks Holly’s just a college kid navigating life. Then, as she leaves, Victoria starts coughing uncontrollably.
Will EJ Show Paulina the Lab?
EJ finds Paulina in his office, waiting to thank him for the reward he offered — and demands to know what he’s hiding in that lab. She had the city compare the power he’s approved to use with what he’s using. He’s hiding something and she’s getting a team in to find it!

EJ graciously offers to show her around right now, but Paulina’s not ready! She’ll round up the inspection folks next week and be back with a vengeance. And when EJ asks how Trey and Chanel’s pregnancy are going, Paulina takes great pleasure in respecting Johnny and Chanel’s boundaries and telling EJ to shove off.
Xander’s Done With Sarah
Xander surprises Marlena in her office with a bouquet of flowers to welcome her back to the hospital. He then gives her the good news: He’s had a major breakthrough! He doesn’t want to torture himself anymore and it’s time to let go of the dream of him and Sarah.

Constantly failing Sarah just kept making him angry. Let go of her, and he can let go of his anger. Plus, he can enjoy his “wee dalliance” with Gwen. But then a panicked Sarah calls and asks him to meet her at the hospital.
“It’s getting more dangerous,” Marlena whispers to herself when he’s gone… What is? Salem? That’s always been dangerous! Then Paulina visits Marlena to complain about EJ. Can we get back to the dangerous thing?
Will Cat Figure Out the Lab Secret?
Cat finds Gwen staring off into space in the hospital, thinking about the pod revelation. She makes some dazed excuse about visiting a friend. Talk about her finances and Dimitri sour as soon as Cat mentions something about Dimitri being innocent until proving guilty. Gwen just goes off on her, then demands to know why Cat’s not on her side. Dimitri’s a fugitive, Leo helped him escape, and they both need to be bloody well locked up!
More: Alison Sweeney’s son turns 21!
Cat apologizes and Gwen softens a bit, then asks how her “friend” is doing. That lasts half a second before Gwen’s back on her own drama, but Cat’s saved by EJ summoning her.
EJ tells Cat that he needs goodwill right now because he’s “got something brewing.” And he wants to share all with her. All, EJ? He wants Cat to supervise Paulina and the inspectors when they arrive. He trusts Cat completely (that’s just poor judgement), and looks forward to spending more time with her.
In the Show’s Final Moments
Xander rushes right past Gwen to get to Victoria and Sarah. A quick checkup reveals that Victoria has pneumonia, but she’ll be fine. Then we get to see Victoria and she looks way too big for that baby stroller they’ve been pushing her around in. You people are rich, upgrade a little!
Holly rushes to Tate and panics with her pregnancy worry. How?! They were so safe! Ari gets back from the bathroom to see them both shut up the second they see her, which she figures is just Holly being more of a “bitch to me.” As she’s leaving, Holly offers an apology, then gets her rejection text from the sorority. Ari got an offer and Holly assures her it’s fine to accept.
Ari’s touched, accepts and leaves. But the second she’s gone, Holly loses it! She was just being polite, how dare Ari? Um, priorities?
