At CL’s, Lauren and Scott discuss poor Kevin. And Chelsea worked and lived with the woman who killed her husband. Scott relays Chloe telling him that she took control of her life 6 months ago – she was talking about premeditated murder, he now realizes.
Kevin and Ester are pleased to hear that Mike will represent Chloe. Kevin then agrees it’s time to face the truth – Chloe did it, he sobs in Mike’s arms.
Devon explains that he tagged along with Mariah. Hilary correctly guesses that he was Mariah’s date for the wedding – how did that go? When Mariah carries a laptop around the corner blathering about Chelsea’s bombshell, Hilary knows they’re both hiding something from her.
Gloria actually does a good job of consoling a devastated Ester (she can relate to making tough decisions for one’s child) Ester must also accept the truth and get Chloe the help she needs. Ester pleads with Kevin – believe Chloe’s innocent and I can too. Kevin’s sorry, he can’t – he shows her Chloe’s letter. Bella appears to hug Kevin and ask where her Mommy is.
Nick will get home as fast as he can. No, don’t go to the main house. You’re breaking up, he again lies to Chelsea – I’ll call you back ~click~
Claiming that Adam’s death was an accident, Chloe insists Victor help her. Chelsea found the evidence that I framed Adam – that evidence implicates you too. What evidence? Victor asks.
Putting on a brave face, Kevin tells Bella that she did a great job as flower-girl but the sad news is that Mommy had to go away on a last minute trip. She told me to tell you she loves you. Grandma Ester’s going to take care of you and spoil you until Mommy comes back – and I’m going to help; ice cream, tea parties – whatever you want. It’ll be OK. Bella nods and hugs Kevin as all look forlorn.
Hanging up, Chelsea tells Sharon that Nick sounded a bit distant on the phone (she regrets being mad at him) He was on his way to see you, Sharon’s supportive and doesn’t want Chelsea to be consumed with revenge. There will be justice for Adam, starting tonight – people need to know the truth, Chelsea grabs her stuff and runs out.
Hearing about the non-wedding, Hilary’s pleased – we have an exclusive. Scott thinks we should sit on it until the facts are in, Mariah points out (then is told she’s not a team player) I’m the boss – I should have been told right away, Hilary snaps. Stuff likes this makes Devon regret giving her the show.
Nick sneaks into an ‘authorized persons only’ building and listens to the muffled voices of Chloe and Victor arguing.
Chloe claims that she kept the diary they used to frame Adam – Chelsea found it and started asking questions. No, Victor’s name wasn’t in the diary. Chelsea stormed out and threatened to call the cops. Your family will hate you for framing your son, Chloe says it’s Victor’s call – literally. Victor pulls out his phone.
Mike and Gloria praise Kevin for the way he handled Bella. After Mike leaves, Kevin asks his Mother to keep her comments to herself. Gloria is so so proud of Kevin ~hug~
Now at CL’s, Sharon and Scott discuss the day’s events. Scott sympathizes with Chloe – he can’t imagine losing a daughter. Sharon can.
Back at GC Buzz, Mariah says this is MY story. It’s MY show, Hilary argues. Chelsea arrives demanding to go on camera NOW – if not, she’ll find a reporter who can make that happen.
Victor gets a text – everything’s a go – tell the pilot the destination when you board the plane. I don’t want to know. If our paths ever cross again you’ll lose everything. Chloe already has – she’s leaving her Mother, daughter, and Kevin. Go, Victor sends her off. Opening the door to leave, Victor’s asks what Nick’s doing there. Is Chloe on the jet?! Nick runs out to the runway – too late – the plane is gone. How could you let her get away? he asks his Dad.
Cassie sounds like a remarkable young lady (Scott’s obviously heard Sharon’s story) She thinks Victor and Adam were a lot alike. Both felt they had to prove themselves. Victor to the world – Adam to his Father. He wanted to earn his place at NE. Scott would like to interview Sharon further (which is just fine by her)
