She cries she cannot do anything. Val hugs her ... Tripp is tense with Steve at the pub. Steve assures him he will still be there for he is his son and he loves him unconditionally ... The gruff judge explains why Nicole was no model citizen since she violated the court order to keep away from Holly. She picked her up in her arms at the square and lied who she was. Brady vehemently denies it. Nicole concedes it is correct, she did do that. Eric soap stares from the corner where he is standing silently ...

Nicole swears to the judge she was surprised to see Holly alone with the little girl crying. So she comforted her. The judge is hard on her about the law. Brady wishes he would take into account feelings but has no luck. The judge will only focus on the fact that she violated the law and the agreement ...

Claire wants to play a game with Theo but he worries about his father, the fact that he would end up alone without him. He curses he hates feeling sorry for himself too.

Claire points out Jade left so he is all alone. Theo thinks she thinks a lot about him. She tells him how terrible Tripp feels. Theo brings up their hug and she smiles he is acting jealous ... Tripp has decided to do some good with his Vitali inheritance. He intends to donate all the blood money to Salem University Hospital and hopes Kayla too will see it as a start. Steve calls it an incredible thing, a hell of a good start, and is impressed ... Nicole worries about Brady. Eric is proud how honest she has been. She thinks the universe wants her to pay for the past but Eric thinks she already has. She laments not quite and he wonders ... Belligerent Brady returns to the judge where he morphs into Kiriakis mode. If his honor does not let Nicole have her daughter back, then he will ruin him! The judge's jaw drops as Brady glares at him with ice cold eyes. Then he blasts him and threatens to have him put in jail. Brady knows about his bribe from Deimos and warns him he will give him bad publicity and ruin his reputation. However if he returns Holly to Nicole, he will not expose him for the lying fraud he really is. He leaves him to consider ...

Nicole is happy that Eric is in her life again. She trusts him more than almost anyone else. Eric is moved. She sighs as she remembers Brady promising to cover up what she did to Deimos. She now thanks Eric for how he helped her at the hearing. She is grateful for his friendship. Eric wants her to know her friendship means the world ... Justin appears and announces the judge is ready ... Lani giggles about JJ making her happy with a ham sandwich, Ding! The work break is over. He has big plans for their future days and gives her another sweet kiss ... Theo overreacts about Tripp and denies he is jealous. Amused Claire asks about that. Knock knock!

Theo admits to Val that Claire called him jealous of Tripp ... Claire calls Marlena from the park and leaves her a voice message that her advice for Theo worked like a charm ...

Eric woefully watches Brady hold her close as they celebrate. Little Holly is coming home at last!
