Sharon apologizes – she didn’t mean that the way it came out. Chelsea would never want Nick to be like Adam. He’s his own person; I love him. Chelsea’s problem is that she had no place to put her feelings for Adam. He died. Then I fell in love with Nick. Sharon cared about Adam too but it wasn’t healthy. Adam was a better person with you (Chelsea) ‘He was no saint’, Chelsea makes the understatement of the year. Adam loved you so much – and Connor, Sharon knows. Chelsea confides that she doesn’t want to move out of the penthouse because of Adam. Same thing with the perfume; a connection to Adam. You have Connor, Sharon’s supportive. Yes, and Chelsea does appreciate how lucky she is to have a solid dependable guy like Nick.

Still at the club’s bar, Hilary tells Devon that work’s going well – a huge media company wants to buy GC Buzz. It’d make me a power player. But GC Buzz is your baby, Devon’s surprised. Hilary’s ready for a new baby; one to leave her legacy too. Updating that Mariah’s threatening to sue if he releases Tessa’s song, Devon also wants to leave a legacy. Maybe you need to find someone to have a baby with, Hilary suggests.

Ashley and Tony talk quietly in the corner of the boardroom. I let Jack get to me, she fumes – I knew he’d play dirty – he accused me of abandoning our Mother. Jabot needs an engaged CEO. Aside, with Mike Jack wants to end this soon before there’s permanent damage. As he asks Mike which way this will go, the arbitrator returns.



Chelsea comes home to find Nick in his toolbelt (but he had a contractor over to tackle repairs beyond his expertise) She’s almost moved to tears because Nick brought home a bottle of the discontinued perfume (with a case on the way thanks to his ‘mogul’ sister in the cosmetics industry) What matters to Chelsea matters to Nick ~hug~

As Hilary packs up her laptop, Devon asks if she’s really sure about this baby thing. Hilary has a lot of love to give – yes, she’s sure about this baby thing. If you’re serious about selling the show, give HWG a shot – Devon thinks they make a good team. Hilary has other priorities but agrees to think about it.

The arbitrator understands that this case is about more than a family business; it’s also about a family. She’ll consider the matter and give her decision tomorrow. Jack and Ashley glare at one another.
