On the CL’s patio, Tessa updates Zack that Crystal’s OK – thanks to a woman on the inside. Who? Zack would like to thank that woman. She disappeared from the hospital, Tessa doesn’t know if she’s in danger. If I have anything to say about it everyone involved in this sex ring will go to prison!

Scott finds Abby in a foul mood at Top of The Tower. He knows about Nick’s interview – but did something happen on the Abbott side too? Abby marches off mumbling about not pretending to be an Abbott anymore.

Jack tells Traci that Dina’s story is that she left town to keep the secret of Ashley’s paternity – she knew it would have crushed John. He knows this isn’t easy for Traci (or Abby either) but Ashley’s mental state is his biggest concern right now.

Mother, I need to talk to you, Ashley knocks on the door (as Dina lays on the floor)

Sharon’s glad she misinterpreted things (but gives advice knowing that she didn’t) Things are going well with Devon – every relationship moves at its own pace – don’t compare yourself to Tessa and Noah. Mariah finally cuts Sharon off – she just wants things to be simple, not complicated. What would complicate things? Sharon wonders.



Following Abby across the restaurant, Scott hears that things blew up on her Mom here tonight. When he offers to cover for her at a tech conference in Madison they’re both scheduled attend tomorrow, Abby says there’s no need. Seeing that she’s far from OK, Scott draws Abby in for a hug. She clings to him like a scared child.

Jack continues to fill Traci in; despite Dina’s threats, Brent Davis told Ashley the truth. She went through hell. Brent Davis became gravely ill and they found some peace before he died. Ashley always worried the truth would come out. Traci can’t believe their Mother opened those wounds again. How can we help Ashley? Jack has no answer.

I know you’re in there – please open the door. YOU! Ashley turns around to spot Graham and demand he open the door. When he obediently unlocks the door, Ashley finds her Mother on the floor.

Next: If you want our family to be whole again move back to the ranch, Victor stuns Nikki …. Dad – what were you thinking? Noah confronts Nick …. Your Father was pathetic, a loser just like his illegitimate daughter is today! Graham points his finger at Ashley (who’s held back by Traci and Jack, at GCM)
