Camping!? Nick laughs at Dylan’s idea (knowing Sharon’s not exactly a camper) Faith sent up to change, Dylan tells Sharon that he’s still working on Adam’s case (behind Paul’s back) So, does that mean Sharon’s onboard with camping?
Abby and Ben lounge on a daybed on the rooftop. Max is making progress, Ben knows there’s a long road ahead. Abby’s so glad the family’s back on track ~hug~
Kevin’s sorry he didn’t confide in Natalie (but now relays how Chloe fell apart) If Kevin IS the Father, he’ll be the best Dad he can be. Does that include getting back with your ex to be a real family? Natalie wonders.
Forgiveness is a bit strong – but we’ve all suffered, Chloe knows she can’t go down the abyss of payback – and now lives for Bella. When Mariah arrives, it’s instant tension between her and Chloe (who runs up to put Bella for a nap when the paternity test is mentioned)
Kevin’s been divorced from Chloe for two years. She left town to cut ties. A kid’s one heck of a tie, Natalie frets. Kevin’s come to terms with everything (and gives Natalie a reassuring hug)
Mariah didn’t mean to upset Chloe but Kevin really wants Bella to be his. Chelsea just assumed he was – but why would Chloe lie? Ha she said anything about the real father? Mariah wonders. Chelsea doesn’t think that her business. Needing time to get Chloe up to speed, Chelsea sends Mariah off on paid vacation. When Chloe comes down, Chelsea has to ask – is there no chance Kevin’s the Father?
Writing checks is an admission of guilt, Hilary claims. It’s culpability, Ashley corrects. We can win this, Hilary appeals to Devon. Look past your own PR, Ashley snaps – compensating victims is NOT losing. Devon referees – this isn’t getting us anywhere. Ashley apologizes and suggests he start writing checks before the press crucifies us. After Ashley leaves, Devon asks Hilary to respect his decision – we’re a team, right? Yes, but think it through, Hilary implores.
Ashley’s delighted to find Abby and Ben snuggling on a rooftop daybed. Kissing Abby, Ben leaves her to tell her Mom that everything’s changed (for the better) since they talked.
Mariah comes home to hear about the camping trip (which she wants no part of) This is a family trip and you’re part of the family, Dylan insists. Mariah finally caves under the pressure (though neither she nor Sharon look as enthused as Dylan)
Chloe swears that Kevin’s not the Father. OK, Chelsea believes her – but who is? It was a one-night thing, Chloe claims (and isn’t interested in picking up where she left off with Kevin) She then gets a call – the results are in.
Kevin’s about to take Natalie to the park when he too gets a call – I have to go to the hospital (and no, Natalie doesn’t need to come with him)
