Am I late for my welcome back party? Lily asks. Vikki’s said all she needed to say to Billy – we’ll touch base when you come to pick up the kids. Welcome back Lily, she says flatly on her way out. Billy changes the subject; elated to hear that Lily closed the deal. Let’s celebrate our latest acquisition. Vikki repeatedly jabs at the elevator button, desperate to escape hearing Billy carry on about how much he missed Lily.
Tessa wants to take a photo of Mariah every day to make a flipbook for the baby. That’s clever, Abby says without enthusiasm. Is something wrong? Mariah asks.
Nikki soon returns to tell Nick that Faith’s playing chess with her grandfather. She feels misunderstood, ganged up on and under pressure. Therapy is her best chance.
Jordan sends a text – I’m at CL’s grabbing tea, where are you? Faith replies – just lost a chess match on purpose; on my way. Sharon appears to order Jordan to give Faith some space.
Mariah and Tessa are stunned to hear the horrible news Chance received. What if he wants to go ahead with a donor? Abby will be sad – she envisioned her babies having Chance’s incredible smile. She can’t help but wonder if this the right way to move forward. Mariah’s not going anywhere – you don’t have to make any decisions right now. If you need anything …. Abby will be in touch. Mariah’s really sad for them – this is all they wanted; a baby of their own. How do you come back from that?
Abby’s home; the house is quiet. Inhaling as if to muster inner strength, she heads upstairs.
Faith eavesdrops on the patio as Jordan offers to help – Faith’s like a sister to me. Sharon will see how it goes – the most helpful thing Jordan can do right now is give Faith some space. Are you serious!? Faith is enraged and after Jordan leaves, blasts her Mom – she’s my only friend! Just leave me alone! she storms out.
Picking up toys, Vikki looks thoughtful as she picks up the nerf football they had so much fun tossing around last night.
Over tea at TGP, Billy confides that Vikki was more relaxed last night than he’s seen her in months – today, a different story. He’s not sure what happened. But never mind that; he follows Lily upstairs.
