Big Brother surprised everyone when he announced that Gretchen has settled her case with the PAF and is back to the PBB house! Audiences then saw a white van open to see Gretchen alighting assisted by Pinoy Big Brother's direk Laurenti Dyogi. Gretchen’s parents who she hasn’t for a long time was also inside the PBB house to welcome her.
Blindfolded, she entered Kuya's house again to the happy delight of Rustom Padilla who shouted, "Welcome Home!” As if on cue, all the housemates took their turns in giving Gretchen hugs and kisses.
She then went inside the confession room where Big Brother asked her details about her AWOL case. Gretchen replied, “Ok naman po, naayos ko na po, nagkaron ng investigation, dumaan na po sa tamang proseso, napakabait po nila, nagpapasalamat po ako sa kanila, nagso-sorry po ako sa mga violations ako'”. Big Brother then said, "Natutuwa ako nakabalik ka sa bahay ko"
Gretchen confessed her remorse on what happened. “Dapat talaga, sina-alang-alang ko, di po ako under sa civillian, I have violated, kung sa military nag-risk life ako, hinaharap ko ngayon, di ko intension. I'm proud to be a soldier & an athlete, laking salamat ko sa mga superior ko, sa pang-intindi nyo kuya, salamat".
Big Brother then gave Gretchen a bottle of wine as gift. Once outside the confession room, the housemates were enthusiastic to welcome her back. Aleck even said, “Mahal na mahal ka ng lahat dito o". All the housemates were showing how much they love Gretchen. Rustom asked if she has eaten and she said she ate some noodles.
What followed is another suprise from Big Brother: A party. Wine and cheese and cigarettes overflowed and the housemates are currently having a good time.
