Never Flinch

Chrissy approaches Corrie, who recognizes her, and they conclude that Trig is using Corrie as bait. Meanwhile, Trig reflects on his role as a juror in Duffrey’s trial. He feels especially responsible for Duffrey’s wrongful conviction and death, as he convinced the other jurors to convict Duffrey. He calls Barbara, tells her Betty asked for her, grabs another syringe of sedative, and agrees to meet Barbara at the service entrance.

Holly returns to the hotel and gets a call from John, who tells her the joke his AA contact told him. It does not mean anything to Holly, but she feels closer to realizing whatever she missed at the Mingo.

Trig sedates Barbara when she arrives and loads her into the van. Trig thinks of his father telling him that practice “makes perfect.” He drives to Holman Rink.

Kate tells Holly she is going to take a nap, and she looks at Holly’s research on Real Christ Holy. An image shows dismembered fetuses, and Kate cries when she sees the image, saying no one wants to kill babies. When Holly asks Kate whether she’s been crying, Kate denies it and leaves.

Chrissy watches Trig bring Barbara to a post and bind her. When Trig leaves, Chrissy tells Barbara she cannot let her go yet but has nothing against her.
