As this episode begins, Summer sleeps on Teresa and Brady’s couch… Teresa accidentally (on purpose) wakes her up.  Brady goes to the hospital to visit Maggie; the nurse tells him she didn’t have a good night, she was restless.  He sits down a sack and a cup for her; she wakes up.  Philip is sitting with Victor – Victor wakes up and asks what the hell he is doing there.  Roman is at court, waiting for Eric; Eric is not answering the phone.  He is in a motel room with Jennifer and an empty bottle of tequila… he wakes up and realizes he is late for his sentencing.  Philip tries to apologize.  Victor tells Philip he blames him for Maggie being in the hospital.  If he wants Victor to forgive him, he needs to destroy Deimos.  While Brady talks to Maggie, he asks if she knows what upset Summer; Teresa berates Summer and tells her not to come there the next time she needs somewhere to turn. 

Jennifer wakes up with a headache, finding Eric gone; she has vague, blurry flashbacks of them beginning to make love as she stares at the empty bottle.  She looks at her phone to see a bunch of missed calls from JJ.  She finds Eric’s phone on the floor – Roman is calling.  Eric stumbles into the courthouse, looking like crap, wreaking of booze and breath mints, wearing the same clothes he had on last night.  Everyone knows he went on another bender.  Summer tells Teresa that she is scared she is going to have to go back to a life she hated, all because of Maggie… she is hoping Brady can help her figure out what to do next.  She recalls Maggie’s story about giving her away; she figures she didn’t want her then, she likely doesn’t want her now.  Belle is concerned that Eric is going to bring his defiant attitude into the courtroom; Marlena says that he probably wants everyone to hate him as much as he hates himself.  Jennifer runs into the courthouse and hands Roman Eric’s phone; when Marlena finds out that she was with Eric last night, she reprimands her for letting him get drunk the night before his hearing.  Jennifer does appear to be embarrassed. 

Brady tells Summer she is mistaken; just because Maggie gave her up as a baby, it doesn’t mean she doesn’t want to know her now.  Teresa is not being nice to her; can’t believe Brady didn’t say something.  Marlena tells Jennifer she knows about her pill habit, but questions how she could have possibly done this.  She tells her she is a terrible friend.  Belle tells Eric they have to get in the courtroom; they are already late.  Eric doesn’t want any of them to go with him and says his goodbyes there.  He lovingly kisses Jennifer and tearfully hugs his mom.  Victor unhooks his IV and sneaks into Maggie’s room; she tells him to get back to bed… he says he wants to know how she’s feeling.  The doctor comes in and tells him to go back to his room – but he stands in the doorway.  Fynn scratches the bottom of her foot; nothing. 

Teresa continues to bitch about Summer after she leaves; Brady finally gets fed up with it.  He tells her he is not giving up on Summer and asks her when she going to stop feeling so damn insecure.  Eric is sentenced to five years in prison and taken from the courtroom to a bus with some really shady looking characters, where they are all chained together and chained to the floor.  He looks terrified.
